Chapter 747: The Possibility of Civilization

"That...and this! These buildings are still usable!"

Under the blurry sky, a group of 'Mars' was moving quickly, and under the captain's voice, they supplemented the energy of many houses, enabling them to move.

The houses rumbled and moved slowly on the sand.

But they didn't move the buildings back. After all, the whole town was still in the bunker, and now they just moved the most useful buildings to a location, and then contacted the large army to take them away.

This is also the main purpose of the team following the pom-poms to obtain these abandoned buildings here.

"..." Among the team members working quickly, Atlan held the figurines in one hand and looked at them with concern.

Many team members tried to communicate with Atlan before, but they all gave up because of the language barrier. Now they ignore Atlan and focus on their own work.

So Atlan is not worried about them, but about himself, is it just abandoned here by the pom poms? What should we do in the future? Do you want to join their group?

"...Ah! I'm finally back!" Suddenly, Atlan saw a white sphere appear in the sky, and he quickly waved loudly: "I'm still here! Don't forget me!"

"..." The pom-pom didn't say anything, but slowly floated over +∫, .., Atlan realized that there were two pom-poms behind the pom-pom, and the two pom-poms were wrapped with fluff. A metal ball with a diameter of one meter.

The three pom-poms flew to Atlan together, and one of them said to Atlan, "Just touch this with your head and see."

"What is this?" Atlan touched the metal ball with his head in doubt, but he didn't see any special reaction from the metal ball.

"It doesn't seem to be responding." Pom Pom said to Atlan, "Then are you going to stay here next? Or go back? Pay attention. After taking you back this time, I won't bring you here again."

"Isn't it?" Atlan exclaimed in surprise: "But..."

talking. It looks at the buildings in the distance with a kind of 'reluctance'. There are also many of his favorite small statues in those buildings.

But it's a pity that its armor is already full, and it can't hold more,

And it didn't dare to ask the pom-pom to help it.

"...Okay, let's go back." After thinking for a long time, Atlan finally made a decision, so the two pompoms flew it away from here.

There is only one pom-pom left, and the metal ball is still in place.

The players who passed by looked at the pom-pom and the metal ball that was obviously a model of Ersh with some doubts. But they were all working so didn't say anything.

Lin hasn't disassembled the metal ball yet, but Lin has let some micro-arms get in and inspected the structure inside. The structure inside the metal ball is not very complicated, and there are some...discharge devices in it.

As long as the creature's brain touches the ball, it emits weak electrical currents that have no particular effect, apparently for Atlan.

Although it was wearing a helmet, Lin adjusted its helmet to a conductive state when it touched.

But when the rock skin touches the ball. Its electric current excites the microbes in the rock skin, making them do things they wouldn't normally do.

For example, "memory sharing" with rock skin.

In this way, those rock skins will have the historical memory of the previous period of the ability...

Lynn found out at the same time. The energy of this metal ball is not infinite, but it has a place on its surface that can be opened, and from there, the metal ball can be 'charged', so that it maintains energy all the time.

Those rock skins know how to charge it, mostly using some... stones.

There is a special stone that can charge the metal ball, and the metal ball itself consumes very little energy, it can be used continuously for a long time even if it is not charged...

This wasn't Lin's main concern. What Lin noticed was that the electric current from the metal ball seemed to activate a certain part of the nuclear information in the 'rock skin microbe', causing them to change their behavior.

Other currents have no effect...

Now, Lin is studying how they work, and Lin feels that this microbe may have more than a little bit of information recorded.

Lin thinks...the information they record should not only include the birth plan of the capable person, there may be more secrets.

Because the creatures that give them memories may not be ordinary Ersh residents, but... stellar buses.

"What is this? Was it found in the factory? Much bigger than the others..."

While Lin was thinking about it, suddenly a creature stood in front of Lin, the captain.

It was looking at the Elsh model next to the pom-pom in confusion, as if it was because the pom-pom specially called Atlan to show them the information on the figurines.

Pom Pom looked at the captain, then took out something from the fluff and threw it on the ground: "Look at this."

"What is this?" The captain was startled, because it found that this thing would move, but it was only ten centimeters after a closer look, so he put his heart down and approached to watch.

It was a white... worm, it kept squirming on the ground, it looked very fragile, but it didn't die because of the cold air and harsh environment in this place.

"This is the food for rock skin," said Pom Pom. "They mainly feed algae and this kind of creatures in the water to maintain their lives. I think you can also eat this kind of thing."

"Eat..." The captain looked at the worm, showing disgust.

It seems that even after so many generations of breeding in this dusty environment, they still can't forget this 'disgusting' emotion, because the appearance of this worm is very similar to most parasites or poisonous creatures, and they can cause many Biological aversion.

Then there are many parasites with similar appearances on Ershi, but it is not surprising that this body type is very suitable for parasitism, but these are not parasites, but things that rock skins often eat, and their caves have sufficient water sources , There are basic nutrients in the water source, so many algae and these insects are raised, and they depend on their rock skin to reproduce.

However, there are no similar places with sufficient water sources nearby, so the rock skins are crowded into the caves and not extended to the outside.

Otherwise... Lin thinks that the rock skins may "rule" the world, after all, they are the most suitable to live here.

Although the captain felt disgusted, he also knew the importance of this kind of bug. If this kind of food that can adapt to the harsh environment can be raised in large quantities, it would be great.

So it took out a small bottle, filled the worm and said, "Okay... uh... thank you, we'll take it back and see..."

Saying that, it suddenly remembered something and called out, "That... have you been to the cave of the 'rock skin'? Can you... tell us how many of them are?"

"A lot." The surface of the pom-pom changed color, showing what the pom-pom had seen in the cave before.

"What? There are so many!" The captain was shocked when he saw this. He didn't even look up and wondered why the surface of the pom-pom could change into these pictures, and said quickly, "They..."

"They may attack here soon." Pom Pom said directly: "You should leave quickly."

"...I understand, but instead of running away, we went back to find reinforcements." The captain said and ran away quickly.

It's easy to guess what it was thinking. When the captain saw a lot of rock skin before, in addition to surprise and fear, Lin could feel that the captain had another emotion...

It's something like 'greed'.

It should have realized after seeing the large group of rock skins. The gathering of so many means that there must be abundant water sources and food there. If they occupy that place, their group will become extremely powerful...

However, after all, the rock skin is the descendant of the capable person, and its own strength is not much weaker, but it has been strengthened under the harsh environment.

So they can be pretty hard to deal with...

And if the rock skin begins to understand Ershi technology and restore knowledge, if they plan to expand, they may be a huge threat to several groups here.

They may wipe out all groups, and then build a 'rockskin civilization' on this tumbler.

But the biggest problem with rock skins is that they are not very good at educating future generations under the influence of microorganisms, so it is not easy to say whether they can establish any "civilization".

How will it develop? Lin will not interfere with them, no matter who survives, it is not surprising.

The main thing is that Lin still wants to see Ershi, so if you want to figure out where it went, then you must continue to look at... the memory of rock skin microorganisms.

At present, Lin has captured a lot of rock skin microbes. After researching them, Lin found that each microbe stores... a very small amount of memory fragments.

If only a single microorganism is stimulated by electric current to transmit memory to the rock skin, it has almost no effect, but if multiple excitations are used, it may be able to 'input' some longer memory fragments to the rock skin.

Of course, these memories will also overlap. Lin found that some microorganisms store the same memory, but most of them store different memories, and they have a behavior that the microorganisms with the same memory will consciously not live on the same rock skin. , they will find every opportunity to spread out, and different ones will come together.

They do this to ensure that a rock skin is populated by microbiomes with different memories.

The larger the memory microbiome on a rock skin, the more complete the memory they give to the rock skin. Before, the rock skin that Lin caught was one of the few individuals with the largest memory microbiome.

Therefore, it has the longest memory in its brain, and of course it is also one of the most knowledgeable rock skins, and should know how to operate any item of Ershi technology.

However, this memory is not complete... (To be continued...)
