War in Heaven

Chapter 332: Communicating plants

In the second round of the blackjack game, Lin Chi got 17 points and Pandora was 18 points. The evolution on the two planets has once again begun.

The trees on the planet Lin Chi, although seemingly tall, are clearly far from modern plants. In fact, the plants on his planet are ferns of the ancient times.

The green leaves are like neatly arranged scales, scattered on the tops of tall trees, with spore sacs that release spores. In this era, plant seeds in the traditional sense have not yet appeared, and in the event of extreme weather, the survival rate of these trees is not too high.

However, after Lin Chi chose the "quilt" card, the main plant type on his planet has changed completely again.

——The so-called angiosperm refers to the plant protected by the peel outside the seed. Due to its strong adaptability and high survival rate, this type of plant that has developed rapidly since the Cretaceous is the most diverse and widely distributed on the earth. The dominant plant type. Simply put, angiosperms are the “peak” of plant evolution in the real world!

With the appearance of angiosperms, the original ferns on the outer shell of the planet began to disappear. Instead, they were lower, but more lush, the canopy became larger, and a white flower slowly bloomed from the soil. It symbolizes the first appearance of "flowers" on this planet.

Looking at the little flowers that I can't name, I started to bloom, and Lin Chi was also in the heart. However, although the flowers have appeared, this planet does not have the same insects as the earth that can pollinate flowers.

- So, how do these plants flourish?

Obviously, plants that have evolved without insects do not need to care about this problem at all.

Lin Chi soon discovered that the flowers on these trees are basically "hermaphrodite". The stamens in the center of the flower only need to be bent inward to complete the reproduction and leave their own "descendants".

In addition, the plants on this planet, not only can use flowers for fertility, but also simpler and more rude methods, it is the legendary - asexual reproduction.

Lin Chi noticed that some of the leaves of the trees were easy to fall off, and when the green leaves were blown by the wind to the nearby soil, tiny roots were grown, rooted in the soil, and then began to grow into small trees.

- This simple and violent form of diffusion exists even in plants in the real world. However, the speed of plant spread in the game is obviously much more terrifying than the real world.

After only five minutes, Lin Chi’s original gray-splitting planet has covered the lush green. On Pandora's planet, a huge lizard with brown scales was also developed.

The shape of animals in the Taikoo period is much more exaggerated than the later generations. The size of the primitive reptiles is even several times longer than the largest existing giant crocodile, and is 20 meters long.

Lin Chi knows that crocodile is one of the most primitive large animals in existence. In the real world, crocodiles have appeared 200 million years ago, and the population has remained so far. And the giant lizard that appeared on Pandora's planet is the "big brother" of the crocodile!

At the same time, other animal species also appeared on the planet, and the original food chain began to expand. Although the plants are constantly evolving, they are obviously not in a grade compared with the plants on the planet Lin.

So the question is: How should plants evolve the "body" that can move, and the organs that can be thought of?

- Unlike animals that can move at any time, the fact that plants cannot move after they are rooted is the most important reason that hinders them from "ruling the earth."

Even if there are long and thick branches, the pine trees can't wave the branches and kill the squirrels. They can only wait and wait for the pine cones on their bodies to be taken away by the squirrels and then taken for food.

In addition to being defensive by thorns and toxins, plants can be said to have nothing to do with fighting animals. In the face of small animals, these defensive methods have some effect. Once they encounter the big guys like dinosaurs, or the human spirits who know how to use tools, they still have no way. Can only stand in the same place and die.

So what should I do next?

Just as Lin Chizheng thought about it, the third round of the game began. There were two more cards in front of him to choose the next major evolution direction:

"Body" and "thinking."

“Can plants evolve their mindset?”

In view of this, Lin Chi decisively chose the "thinking" card. At the same time, Pandora also picked up another card and chose the evolutionary direction of “massification” from “miniaturization” and “massification”.

In this round of cards, Lin Chi was lucky to get twenty points, and Pandora only got 15 points. As the hand ended, the two planets owned by the two had a rapid evolution.

Although large trees still stood silent in the same place, Lin Chi, with the observation of the creator, noticed that the leaves of these trees suddenly began to emit complex synthetic chemicals.

Perceived this, looking at the trees that seemed to be indistinguishable when peaceful, Lin soon realized what they were doing, and his face suddenly showed a little smile:

"This forest... is communicating?"

Although there is no movement and no vocal organs, plants can indeed communicate with other plants by synthesizing chemicals, releasing "pheromones" or odors.

Now, the plants on the planet Lin Chi are “chat” with other trees nearby by the pheromones released from the leaves!

"Ha, do you still think that plants have no chance of winning?" Lin Chi smiled.

He can fully see that although plants seem to be "stupid", their perception is even more sensitive than animals!

There is no doubt that “rooting” is a huge flaw for plants. Because it can only be rooted in one place, plants cannot escape the harsh environment and cannot migrate for food or spouses.

But it is precisely because of the "rooted" restriction that plants have acquired extremely sensitive and complex sensing mechanisms, because in the case of being fixed in one place, plants can not be in a rapidly changing environment without extremely sensitive perception. Survive in!

However, even if their perception is very sensitive, it is necessary to evolve an organ similar to the brain in order to achieve high-speed thinking in the true sense.

Lin Chi is waiting for the plants on his planet to continue to evolve, and notices that the lizards on Pandora's planet have changed abnormally.

The planet controlled by the girl officially entered the era of dinosaurs.
