Another world conquest manual - #459 - Chapter 452 Ancient Bloodline
Although Yang Tianwen is no longer young now, his physical functions have gradually begun to decline.
But as a top biologist, his thinking ability has not deteriorated at all.
It can be said that the questions he raised almost all focus on the key points of Snake Centipede:
Does the spine have something to do with transformation?
Does the Thunder Tribulation play a reductive or evolutionary role?
And why can the material of the spine be successfully cut off by a third-level scalpel even though it can bear lightning tribulation?
But it’s a pity.
Since there are too few samples of local monsters, it may be difficult to answer these three questions for a while.
Just when Yang Tianwen and Luo Feng were discussing the possibility of spinal cord.
Gantiantian, who had planned to name Snake Centipede Centipede, ran over again shaking her braid:
“Mr. Yang, Senior Luo, our information engineering team has simulated and restored the snake centipede creature model after the thunder tribulation!”
That’s right, the Information Engineering Group.
This little girl who looks like a bean sprout is only over 1.4 meters tall, but she is actually…
Programmer!
Or to be more precise.
He is the chief algorithm engineer of the Sichuan University Biological Laboratory and the Animal Native Information Simulation Engineering Group.
in this experiment.
The entire team has only one task:
By comparing biological skeletons and fossils, algorithms are used to restore the theoretical appearance of organisms.
Although there are actual corpse samples of snake centipedes in the laboratory, the third-level monster is obviously a type of biological ‘evolution’.
Just like the concept of fighting Greymon and Agumon.
There must be a huge difference between the third-order body and its initial state.
Especially after the spine was shrunk by thunder, Tiantian’s mission came:
A biological model corresponding to the snake centipede and its spine was simulated to provide image reference for related research.
be honest.
This is not an easy task.
After all, biology and PS are still different, and formulas cannot be applied rigidly.
It doesn’t mean that your spine is shortened to a few percent, and the overall animal size is also reduced proportionally.
for example.
The centipede’s Malpighian tube is a very weird shape, similar to that of a tangled wireworm.
But in fact.
There is a special linear correlation between it and the centipede’s stomach.
That is, the convergence representation of Y=Xβ+ε, and almost all centipedes conform to this convergence.
So why is mathematics considered a life subject? It’s because there are too many biological data that are closely related to mathematics.
There is a saying that goes well.
Mathematics can never explain life, but all current explanations of life use mathematics.
The deeper you go, the more you will marvel at the beauty and mystery of life.
Of course.
Many unknown students had little chance to go deep because of their poor math scores. Instead, they hung themselves from tall trees.
His gaze returned to its original position.
Later, under the leadership of Gan Tiantian, Yang Tianwen and others came to the computer center of the laboratory.
Students in Chengdu should have heard that as a high-tech center in the western region, Chengdu has established the first national supercomputing center in the western region.
However, compared to its official name, people in Chengdu prefer to call it Silicon Cube.
After all, that blue cube is too cool.
The maximum computing speed of Silicon Cube reaches 1 billion times, ranking among the top ten in the world.
Therefore, with the help of relevant computing power.
The Gantiantian team successfully restored the original model of the snake centipede in a very short period of time.
This is a giant centipede three to four meters long, sixty to seventy centimeters wide, and very flat.
It can be seen with the naked eye alone that this image is quite different from the snake centipede.
If you have to describe it.
The original third-level Snake Centipede looked like an anchor on a certain music channel, while the latter looked like a real person who had turned off the beauty filter and removed her makeup.
“The body is 3.5 meters long and weighs nearly a ton. The olfactory synapses are much more developed than those of corpses.”
Looking at the restored model in front of me.
Yang Tianwen was making comments, but his brows wrinkled slightly:
“From an image perspective, why does it look so much like an ancient centipede?”
Sweet Dessert nodded:
“Yes, it does look a bit like an ancient centipede.
We compared the feces and intestinal fossils of ancient centipedes in the database and found that the overlap between the two is very high.
So I personally think.
This snake centipede may have some ancient centipede blood. “
Ancient centipede.
This is a creature that lived 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous era.
The length of the ancient centipede can reach 8.6 feet, almost 2.6 meters.
However, an ancient centipede fossil with only its head left was discovered in western Germany. According to the restored length, it may be more than 3.5 meters.
When talking about ancient centipedes, we have to mention another term.
That is ancient Malu.
in many marketing slogans.
Ancient centipedes and ancient millipedes are two different species, and like Dunkleosteus, they are extremely exaggerated.
And actually.
According to a fisherman’s personal information from an associate researcher at the Rongcheng Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was determined that the ancient millipede is actually the same species as the ancient centipede.
It’s just that the ancient millipede is one of the vegetarian subspecies.
This can actually be seen more intuitively from the scientific name.
For example, the scientific name of the ancient centipede is Arthropleura armata.
The ancient horse continent is Arthropleura.
The two are just like the difference between civet cats and American shorthair cats. They are not the so-called two species at all.
The ancient centipede is the largest arthropod ever discovered and one of the first invertebrates to appear on land.
“Three hundred million years ago. Three thousand years ago”
Yang Tianwen repeated the time when the ancient centipede and snake centipede appeared and said:
“This time interval obviously cannot be directly inherited, and it seems difficult to use other methods.
So could it be a bloodline return to the ancestors? “
Atavism.
This is also a relatively common situation in biology.
For example, Yu Zhenhuan, the hairy boy more than ten years ago, was considered to be a throwback to his ancestors.
Of course.
Nowadays, Na Yu Zhenhuan has married and started a business. What is outrageous is that he is still bald.
This is really a sad story.
And except for humans.
There are also some atavisms in animals.
Among them, the atavistic example most closely related to body shape is probably the crocodile Gustav, the ancient man.
Anyone who knows about crocodiles should know this.
Among the crocodile species, the crocodile is often the largest.
For example, the famous Luolong, Kalia, King of Cambodia and so on.
As a Nile crocodile, the ancient man is at least 5.5 meters in size, almost twice the size of other similar species. (If you are interested, you can go to station b and search for Gustav, it is very interesting)
Therefore, many biologists believe that the ancient man is a typical representative of physical atavism.
at the same time.
Luo Feng, who was beside Yang Tianwen, suddenly thought of something.
He first turned around and said sorry to Yang Tianwen, and then rummaged through the computer files:
“March file, January file, last October. Found!”
I saw Luo Feng’s mouse hovering on a file marked ‘July 23, 2022, Chi County City Siege Battle’:
“Mr. Yang, among the seven second-level monsters that attacked the city, one of the black wind snakes was obviously larger than the others of its kind.
It was later tested.
It was found that there seemed to be some representational states in its body, which were consistent with the local pterosaur fossils.
However, there were no other signs or evidence at the time, so this incident was only recorded in the files.
The first time pterosaurs appeared was at the end of the Late Triassic, which was actually the same time period as ancient centipedes! “
Yang Tianwen quickly stepped forward:
“Huh? Is this really the case? Then where is the spine of the demonic snake?”
“It’s not recorded in the file.”
Luo Feng shook his head first, then looked at Wei Fan:
“But Patriarch Wei may have some impression. He was at the scene at that time.”
At present, Wei Fan’s external identity is still instructor Wei from the higher-level department.
However, to core researchers like Yang Tianwen, Wei Fan’s true identity is no secret.
After hearing Luo Feng’s words, Wei Fan thought seriously:
“At that time, the monster died in the second ancestor’s life-saving blow, and its remains were covered by subsequent firepower. If I remember correctly, most of its skeleton was destroyed on the spot.
Although I don’t know where the remaining part ended up, the material is definitely not as good as the snake centipede spine.
Besides, if it was really the same as the human spine, there was no reason why Xiao Wang and the others wouldn’t notice it. “
Yang Tianwen nodded slightly and concluded:
“In other words, the condition of human spine still only appears in snake centipedes.
But the situation of returning to the ancestors seems to involve the Demon Realm and the Great Mo Realm?
Winged Dragon Black Wind Serpent.
That being the case
Is it possible for us to put aside the issue of the spine and take advantage of the atavistic characteristics?
What about cultivating local monsters yourself? “
