Chapter 527: : The last "survivor" of Mars]

In a small canyon around the highlands, there is a karst cave with a diameter of about 45 meters on the cliff wall. This was once one of the corridors for the flow of volcanic magma, but no magma has flowed from here for more than 2 billion years.
This planet is not a forbidden zone for life as humans perceive it. The extremely harsh environment and atmospheric structure on the surface of the planet are indeed forbidden areas for life, but this is limited to the surface.
When the volcano filled with Mars is gradually dying, the magma recedes, and the tunnel inside the volcano becomes the last haven for life on this planet.
A creature with a history of more than 2 billion years has survived on this planet, and it is also the only large creature left on this planet.
In the cave channel where the small canyon is located, it is advancing at a speed that is not fast or slow. This is in the eyes of humans. In fact, it moves very slowly. It is also a failed competitor. It is in another male of the same kind. Failed in the competition for mating rights, and luckily escaped the opponent's blood. Now it became an ascetic monk. He escaped from the nest deep underground. It was covered with scars and was not healed, and its body became weaker and weaker.
After leaving the water, for the oxygen the body needs, it starts to consume its own water to produce the oxygen it needs. This is undoubtedly a chronic suicide, but it is also the best way at present.
It is a miracle to be able to come here alive, because for the creatures in this population, its failure in the competition for mating rights often means that it will become a feast for the winners, especially in the environment of bad examples. A rare meal.
For the only surviving species on Mars, this is not just a competition for mating rights, but also a contest between life and death. The winner will mate with the female and get everything about the loser, including its body, while the loser will It is nothing, even the food for the winner, this is the cruelest competition.
It is a miracle that it can escape.
At this moment, it crawled to a steep slope, and the other end after the top was a steep with an inclination angle of 60 degrees downwards. Such a steep is not a big problem for this type of creature, but it is an exception. It hurts too much. The breath is getting weaker and weaker, waiting for it more is the coming of death, it simply can not safely pass through this steep channel.
But it must move forward. When it crosses the apex of the cave, it finally accidentally slides down its entire body like a rolling rock in the steep cave. Its body can be curled into a sphere to protect itself, and it rolls crazily in the cave. under.
Pezos Heights, outside the canyon, the cave mouth, it rolled out from the inside, fell outside the canyon, and was also exposed on the surface of Mars.
Exposed to the sun, it will die forever
It suddenly made a heart-piercing cry. However, in the thin atmosphere on the surface of Mars, the sound propagation length is only 15 times that of the earth.
The thin atmosphere on the surface of Mars has almost no oxygen. This species can adapt and survive. It has lasted hundreds of millions of years in this world known as the forbidden zone of life. This species has lived in the depths of the earth for hundreds of millions of years. There is something right. It is a deadly cosmic ray.
The Pezos area is about to enter the night, but at dusk, the sun still shines on the land. Ultraviolet rays from outer space and various cosmic rays can still make it dead. The instinct of survival can make it struggle crazy and fast. To escape from this place, it is the opposite of dying before, but it does not know that there is nowhere to escape in the empty surface.
Its epidermis began to burn, the speed visible to the naked eye began to ulcerate, purulent, and the muscle tissue began to turn into pus, leaving it on the path it was crawling. The pus touched the soil on the ground and suddenly white smoke appeared. The soil contained The trace moisture began to be severely dehydrated, and the thin air was filled with a strong acid corrosion smell
Finally, it was exhausted. It escaped from the competition of similar opponents, but it failed to escape the final death of the of death. It rolled from the cave on the cliff to the surface of Mars. It tried to climb 80 meters. The length finally stopped, the pus soaked into the surface soil, and finally only a pile of complete skeletons remained on the ground, and white smoke diffused around it and quickly dissipated.
Follow the cave mouth of the cliff wall to the bottom of this extinct volcano. When the cave enters from the exit, you must first climb a steep slope. The creature died because of this steep slope, and then it went all the way to the bottom of the earth, and started with it. A criss-crossing network of caves appeared.
As we continue to deepen, every inch we get closer to the core of Mars, a new cradle of life appears in the ground. The core of Mars is around 1700 degrees Celsius, and there is always a stable temperature here. In the ancient times of Mars Time, the most intense and frequent volcanic activity, here is magma, but now it is made of water. Keeping the right distance from the core of Mars, which has a high temperature of 1700 degrees Celsius, is just like the right distance between the earth and the sun in the habitable zone in the solar system, which promotes the liquefaction of water on the earth.
There is also a similar "habitable zone" beneath Mars, where water is liquid. In addition to this golden location, the soil on the surface of Mars also contains water. If humans know all this, it may be able to explain the mystery of the source of water contained in the soil.
The golden location allows water to liquefy here, and the underground space originally formed by volcanic magma or the intertwined corridors also makes it possible for water to gather.
This is the last habitat of life.
There is a huge reservoir deep underground in the Pezos area, but it is definitely not the only one on this planet. The area of ​​this reservoir is no less than that of Dongting Lake. Groups of crawling creatures gather at a port. These creatures are more than three times the size of an adult Komodo dragon on Earth. They are reptiles. A single individual has more than 3,500 pieces of muscle tissue, while humans are only 600. Many pieces.
This type of creature has no moving limbs, but crawls like a snake. There is a pair of forelimbs that are basically not used for movement but are used for combat. They are composed of three ligament joints, which can be straightened but usually half Shrink into an "s" shape, just like the forelimbs of a mantis on earth.
What is unbelievable is that the air here actually contains a higher oxygen content than the surface atmosphere of Mars. Although this tiny oxygen content is impossible for humans to breathe, if it is discovered by humans, it will definitely be a sensation in the world.
At this moment, these creatures at the port are intertwined with each other, and the surface of these creatures flashes dazzling electric currents from time to time. The huge electric current generated here can kill an adult instantly, but for these creatures it is. Without the slightest harm.
Because these currents are generated from these organisms.
The water here is also the deadliest poison for humans, because the water is full of strong acid corrosion, and the strong acidic substances in the water are also derived from these remaining Martian organisms.
There are no plants on Mars, but this kind of creatures also need to breathe. Oxygen is essential, but this planet does not have enough oxygen for them to use~EbookFREE.me~ but they can make what they need for life activities. Oxygen, the trace oxygen in the air also comes from them.
The reason why these organisms can generate powerful currents and acidic solutions on their own is because they have evolved a unique type of organ. This organ in the body produces oxygen for life activities through the process of "electrolysis of water", and this type of organism secretes The acidic solutions also serve this purpose. They can increase the concentration of ions in the water, thereby enhancing conductivity and speeding up the reaction rate to support the oxygen required by the body.
Hundreds of millions of years of evolution have allowed this species to survive in the harsh environment. However, the energy consumption required for such a huge volume is definitely not small. Don’t look at them now being "tangled" in groups. If there is a chance, they will Don’t hesitate to eat the same kind, completely swallowing a similar kind can satisfy long-term activities. The harsh living environment makes them have to be cruel to survive, but this alone will not allow them to continue to this day. One day after eating the same kind No one left.
This kind of last remaining Martian creatures means that they have no source of food. The thin oxygen on Mars is almost negligible, and it is even more impossible to provide such a huge creature for respiration, and their huge body needs to consume a lot of Oxygen sustains life activities. They produce oxygen by secreting strong acid corrosion and electrolyzing water, but the secretion of acid corrosion and the provision of electrical energy means that more body functions are consumed. Without food as a supplementary source of body energy, it is impossible to survive.
But even in such a harsh environment, they still possess a unique set of survival skills that humans have never heard of
