This kind of creatures will be active in the "habitable zone" of Mars for a period of time. When the periodic mating and revelry are over, the males and females will be separated, and the male creatures will leave the "habitable zone" and follow the cave towards the top. Migrate, and females will stay in the "habitable zone" forever.
Although the only remaining Martian creatures are cruel and vicious, as long as they have the opportunity, they will not hesitate to eat their own kind to give them a more advantageous living space, but they also exude the most praised and beautiful maternal glory of life. .
Males start the first desperate battle for the right to mate. Only the real strong can survive and have everything in the end. In this process, the weak will die one by one. Their corpses are the best on the planet. Food, this is the perfect delicacy on Mars where there is no grass.
After the first desperate battle, male creatures will start a second war for the ownership of these corpses. It is another result of a winner taking all and losing nothing. Massive corpses give them a sufficient source of food, and all that survive The real strong.
The females complete mating and are pregnant with the next generation. The new generation inherits the genes of the strong parent, because the weak have no right to mate at all. Pregnant females will be active in the "livable zone" for about a month or so. During this time, the massive male corpses of the same kind obtained by the "husband" can satisfy their food to maintain the energy required for body functions.
But at this time, there is too much "food", and instead of eating too much food, the conceived female has no time, because the baby in her arms will grow up day by day, and the conceived female will return to the bottom of the water. One generation completes the new birth and makes the ultimate sacrifice.
They are just like the giant octopuses on Earth in the North Pacific. They are also the mothers who make the most sacrifices to raise their children on Mars. They can lay about 20 to 30 eggs at a time. Every conceived female will find a place to live in the bottom of the water to build a nest. The "habitable zone" of Mars, the higher the temperature toward the core of Mars, the higher the temperature of the water bottom, which is a natural habitation. In this area, the conceived female will choose the best area to settle her life, and new life will be born here as well.
The liquid water in the "habitable zone" of Mars has very little oxygen, but it is still oxygen-free. It is originally in the middle of a volcano. The water contains a lot of silicates and other various substances. Small life is not the biggest threat, the real threat is the aerobic tolerant anaerobic microorganisms in the water.
However, their mother has a way. The mother will secrete an acidic corrosive solution that is lethal to non-kind creatures. This liquid not only accelerates the rate of oxygen production, but also becomes the patron saint at the beginning of the birth of small lives.
In the first four months of the growth of the new life, there is no resistance. Any external factor can make them die. This is the ultimate sacrifice of the mother. In order for the new life to grow healthily, it must not leave the nest and release acid regularly. The corrosive solution provides a protective umbrella for the little life. The inability to leave the nest means that the mother cannot obtain a source of food and must secrete an acidic corrosive solution to protect the eggs. So it's no surprise that the mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, and the acidic corrosion secreted is getting less and less. Fortunately, as time goes by, the small life is growing strong and the ability to resist the outside is increasing.
In this process, the mother will have no food source and no hibernation to reduce the consumption of body functions, and will eventually die from excessive hunger, but its mission is not over yet, and there is one last dedication.
After its child has hatched, the mother's corpse is the only source of food for the small life, otherwise the fragile young life cannot survive. Large female corpses will not be decomposed in a short time, and there are no microorganisms. Acid corrosion plays the best preservation function here. The female corpse can provide 20 or 30 new lives for nearly 60 Earth days and complete initial growth.
The new life has completed its initial growth, and has enough ability to leave the hotbed of the deep water area and arrive at the shore of the water. There are a large number of male corpses scattered here, the former losers, the anaerobic environment and the acid corrosion protection that was once secreted. The corpse is not eaten by microorganisms. New life has obtained a second source of food at the port, and can use the last "legacy" of its ancestors to complete the second growth and development.
Three months later, the corpses at the port were almost completely consumed by them, and the original new life had grown, and the sudden reduction in food made them feel hungry for the first time. They were used to eating similar corpses, so they aimed their attention. The living kind, even brothers and sisters, see the moving kind as if they have seen the delicacy of the world, and they will definitely take action for this.
Therefore, after they came to this world ~EbookFREE.me~, they will start the first desperate struggle in their lives. In order to survive, during this period, some of the weak were eliminated and became a good meal for the strong and survived. All of them are strong, no one can kill anyone, and the end result of fighting for a long time is both sides.
But survival will continue. In order to avoid dying from hunger in the future, they have to find a new way of survival. They left the "livable zone" one by one and left here along the path of their ancestors. Head towards the colder area above.
They found a safe and undisturbed place. They curled their bodies into a spherical shape and eroded a groove on the rock wall or other places with the help of acidic corrosion solution to prevent falling during the dormant period. So it started a long dormancy, and the rate of metabolism became lower and lower. They gradually transform into oxygen-tolerant anaerobic organisms, which means that they no longer need to consume huge energy to produce the oxygen needed by the body, and during this period they no longer use oxygen as the ultimate electron acceptor.
Over time, their body surface began to ferment, eventually wrapping up the entire body. The next time they wake up, they will eat all the fermented products from the inside to the outside to get energy supplements, and after replenishing the hungry body, they will be able to return to the "habitable zone". The most full-eaten will have a good advantage. In the "livable zone", there will be a greater advantage to defeat competitors, and everything about obtaining mating rights and losers will become the biggest winners in life.
Repeatedly, this species has continued on Mars for hundreds of millions of years. After the planetary changes, each species has become extinct. Only this species has survived and became the last survivor, migrating from the surface of Mars to Mars. Ground.
