Vol 5 Chapter 29: Cold survivor

Crystallization is a wonderful thing.
Lin has not studied thoroughly until now. There are many kinds of them, and they are almost all shiny. The group of creatures that Lin is observing is to establish a city belonging to them by crystallization.
Irregularly shaped crystals are built on the ground. Most of them are one to two meters high, and some are up to ten meters high. They almost touch the top ice wall, and each crystal is imaged with each other. It is the general crystallization of the pipes connected to each other, and a large number of ancient cockroaches shuttle back and forth between the pipes, which reminds Lin of the worms.
They also 'plant' a plant on the crystallization... No, it should be something like an anemone, which is similar in shape to the ancient scorpion, and they emit a shimmering light, which makes the whole piece The city of ice shines.
This ‘Crystal City’ is built near the Rift Valley and has been extended for several kilometers, which is quite large for creatures that are only ten centimeters long.
And their main source of life can be said to be in the rift. The water in this rift is very warm, and even can be said to be relatively hot. The ice here is thinner than other places. There are no ancient dwellings in the rift, but they create a lot of pipes that lead straight to the bottom of the rift.
Lynn was very curious about their living habits, and during the period of the reinvention of the Ark, they did some research on them.
In Lin's observation, it was found that this group of ancient cockroaches mainly used two kinds of crystals. The first crystallization is heat-insulating, which is their main building material. The ancient smashed the crystals. Then secrete something to glue them together. The massive bonding of these crystals finally formed a city here.
The second type of crystal seems to absorb heat. In fact, the inner layers of the pipes that link each of the crystal buildings are made of this crystal. These pipes eventually extend to the bottom of the rift. The meaning of these pipes is to make the rift The heat is introduced into the crystalline building above, but they don't just do it. They also throw a lot of crystals into the bottom of the rift, and then take them up after absorbing enough heat.
This wonderful move will leave the entire city in a warm environment. So they are also building towns along the rift, but they have no way to expand outward. This crystal city seems to have been established for a long time. In the farther away from the rift, Lin can see some traces of residual architecture... ...
Perhaps the ancient cockroaches were widely distributed, and in the case of sudden cooling, most of them died, and those who lived gathered near the rift.
The 'heat pipe' between buildings should have been recently created, and they seem to have a lot of intelligence.
These crystals seem to have been dug out of the ground. Lin remembers that there should be no crystals here, but it didn't seem to pay much attention to this kind of thing...
And the life habits of this group of ancients made Lin feel a little surprised. Even if they gather a very large community, they get along very well. They also rely on color-changing communication, without using any other means, and the most important thing is that they trust the same kind.
The ancients did not appear to be like distrust between the same kind, or situations such as hostility, that is to say they did not steal and deceive, and they would not buy or sell things with each other, using a fair distribution method similar to Xiaolong.
Lin found that there was a leader among them. The role of the leader only found that it was responsible for distributing things, but it did not take the opportunity to allocate more to itself, that is, there was no selfishness.
As long as there is no such phenomenon at the beginning, all the following deceptions, disputes will not appear.
This is wonderful... Lin originally thought that if the individual creatures continued to develop and did not carry out 'teaching', they would all become white dragons or jade dragons.
However, it is not certain. After all, the ancient pipa comes from the kinds of creatures of the ammonite. They are very different from the dinosaurs. It is not surprising to develop a special life character, but I don’t know if they and the group of ancient priests observed by Lin. Unrelated.
The ancient wars of the wars that were seen before at sea should be two different ethnic groups. Although there is no ‘inner’, there is war between them.
The ancient food here comes from the frozen creatures around, and those sea anemones. Lin found that they sometimes break the tentacles of the anemones and eat them with their own excrement.
Very common symbiotic relationship, just like planting plants...
However, after the surrounding creatures are eaten up, their living paths are difficult to determine, and they are not the only living creatures. Some creatures will grab food and even attack them.
Now, at the edge of the city, Lynn has discovered a creature, the kind of crystal trilobite that is seen on land.
The trilobites that were previously seen on land may have been run out after digging the ice, but... it seems to be running too far. Does the trilobite have this ability?
It is more than 30 centimeters long. It is like a monster to the ancient scorpion. This trilobite tries to dig up the ancient crystal buildings, and the ancient scorpions also quickly defend and counterattack.
Although this group of ancient urns can create complex crystalline buildings and piping systems, their weapons are simple. They use sharp stone fragments or fragments of shells to spur the joints of trilobites. Trilobites are subject to After many attacks, it seemed to feel pain and ran away.
And this group of ancient cockroaches are still chasing after them, they constantly attack the trilobites, trying to drive it to a farther place, but at the time of the attack, there are also some ancient crickets that are caught and shredded by the trilobites.
However, the crazy attacks of the ancients also worked. The trilobites made it difficult to move because of the joint damage, and finally fell on the seabed...
But this is not a seabed here.
The ancients continued to change their bright colors to celebrate their victory. They all seemed to have learned a luminous ability. Lin found that this was because of some kind of fungus on their skin.
Then they called more ancient cockroaches, and then tried to divide the trilobite. Lin found that they would bring some small pieces of crystals to keep warm. After all, they have ten tentacles, and it is much easier to take things. They put them at the joints. Get the meat down and quickly take it back, because the insulation doesn't last long, they need to move very fast, they may have lived like this recently.
Although this group of ancient cockroaches seems to be living very well here, they also face many problems. The food will be eaten sooner or later. The food elsewhere in the Rift Valley is too far to be obtained. The oxygen here is also a problem.
Therefore, they will need a neighbor's. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
