Chapter 210

In his spare time, Shen Cong likes to read books and video materials about biology.

Some time ago, he saw a documentary recording the research materials of Chengjiang biota. Through special effects technology, he restored the explosive evolution of colorful biota during the Precambrian explosion of 542-530 million years.

The discovery of Chengjiang biota poses a great challenge to Darwin's theory of evolution. Many biological experts believe that the theory of evolution is not always correct. Even religion was involved, and various kinds of creationism were put forward, which believed that God created the explosive biodiversity of Cambrian.

However, with the correct understanding of Geology and paleontology, combined with the fact that the Cambrian explosion took place in 10-20 million years, this is not only a refutation to the theory of evolution, but also a powerful supplement to the theory of evolution.

During the Cambrian, the rise of earth temperature, biological recovery, oxygen enrichment, ozone formation, frequent volcanoes increased marine nutrition, the formation of phosphate rock in this period, and the appearance of male and female were the reasons for the biological explosion.

These conditions combined to develop and repair Darwin's theory of evolution. On July 1, 2019, the 35th anniversary of the discovery of Chengjiang biota, the Chinese scientific community revised the translation of "evolutionism" to a more reasonable "evolutionism".

Since Darwin published the classic masterpiece "the origin of species" in 1859, people began to think about the very philosophical problem of where they came from. More than 100 years of exploration and research have developed and perfected the miracle created by the reproduction of life from scratch.

The theory of "discontinuous equilibrium" is put forward: "the evolution and evolution of organisms are not always gradual, but the process of gradual and leap forward coexist."

……

The reason why he thought of the theory of evolution was that Shen Cong saw the changes in the body of the pearl mussel.

He dissected a lot of pearl mussels, dug out the pearls and peeled off the intact active core shells. Therefore, he can clearly see that there is a clear dividing line between the shell and the meat.

Active core is a relatively independent tissue part with special properties in organism.

Because it is a whole piece of bone, gradually into a semi metal active core, so the boundary is clear, can easily peel off.

But in the pearl mussel, Shen Cong saw that the boundary was blurring.

The part of the mussel meat connected with the shell has appeared the signs of metal gradual change, and it is adhered to the shell and cannot be peeled off well.

In other words, the active core has "eroded" into the body tissue, and the meat at the junction begins to metal gradually, and there are also slight signs of metal gradual change in other meat farther away.

Like the spread of cancer cells, the whole body is cancerous.

Shen Cong cut off a piece of metal gradually changing mussel meat. Under his perception, there is a slight reaction that belongs to the active core in this mussel meat. The rate of activity loss slows down, and a slight sharpening reaction can be aroused after injecting the activity.

What's more, this mussel is not hardened, but also keeps the same softness as the normal mussels around.

The difference is that when this meat is cut, there is a blockage in cutting metal.

"Both the softness of muscle and the hardness of metal?" Shen Cong frowned. For a while, he didn't know how to react. His mind was a little confused.

He had many visions of the LV1 era, including fantasies that all living things had become metals, and metal bumps were walking on the ground But when I saw this sign, I was in a panic.

The active core of pearl mussel has begun to erode the surrounding tissues, and the whole body is slightly "diseased", which is really the transition from organic life form to inorganic metal form.

"Metal life."

"Is this the direction of LV1 evolution?"

"The metal of the bark and leaf veins of plants gradually changes, and the active core metal of animals gradually changes. Now even the body tissues begin to metal gradually The same thing happens to mutants? So iron man, why am I integrated with a metal instrument, life? "

"Will I become a real metal" Iron Man "one day

There was no answer to the question. Shen Cong removed three jacks, put the old pearl clam, closed the shell, and returned to the big King Kong with a piece of metal gradual change of mussel meat.

Throwing the clam meat on the laboratory table, Shen Cong dragged a chair over and sat on it to sort out his confused thoughts.

……

Shen Cong first thought of the theory of evolution.

The thought of the Cambrian explosion of life, a short period of more than 20 million years, organisms from the deep sea to the shallow sea, increased countless species, provides sufficient evidence for the intermittent equilibrium theory.

According to the discontinuous equilibrium theory, the evolution of organisms is not a slow continuous gradual accumulation process, but a long-term process of stability and short-term drastic changes, leaving many gaps in the geological records.

"Now, is the earth in a transient upheaval?"

An extinct meteor shower has brought about activity, and the appearance of activity has changed the stability of metals, either corroding, rusting or activating. At the same time, it has also changed the composition characteristics of organisms, connecting organic living bodies with metals, and gradually changing towards metals.The only pearl mussel of LV1 age, the active core of all metal, began to erode the body tissue.

Shen Cong immediately thought of the horn shaped protuberance of the Golden Dragon and the tail whip of the swift and fierce leopard.

Some of the horn like protuberances are like muscles gradually changing to metal, while the tail whip is the bone part and the skin and flesh on the surface have all undergone metal gradual change.

These can be seen as the active core is eroding the body tissue.

"Is metal change, then, a continuation of the evolution of new life, or a disease towards destruction?" Shen Cong is a bit unpredictable. He can't imagine how he can survive if his whole body turns into metal.

But he could not guarantee that metal life would not live.

The great King Kong survives, and the failed metal life also survives. If the extension ability is further strengthened, there will be metal form life with free movement.

Now in the new world, the old order has been knocked down.

As if it was another Cambrian explosion of life, the rapid emergence of different kinds of life, countless evolutionary animals, evolutionary trees, one after another.

Some of the most powerful ones have been on the top of the food chain, some have been reduced to prey of predators, some have been eliminated by unreasonable evolution, such as ferocious cats, and ordinary creatures that have not evolved and gradually disappeared.

It's like shuffling cards, erasing old ones and creating new ones.

Life ushered in a new leap forward.

Zhao Kan said that the future era will be the era of new evolutors such as Xiao Li and Du, and they, even Shen Cong, are ancient products of the old era, and may be completely eliminated one day and become the research materials of archaeology.

Shen Cong believes it now.

"But what is the form of the iron man? Who is the" Yunnan insect "between the iron man and the mutant (to be continued. )
