Chapter 191 Evolution
Jiang Chanji's consciousness was suspended in the deep blue ocean, surrounded by all kinds of strange marine creatures.

He gradually realized that the pictures he saw were not real-time, but the condensed history of this water area for hundreds of millions of years. The evidence is that the creatures swimming here are getting more and more advanced in terms of evolution. "Hot water bags" are low-level organisms formed by the aggregation of countless single-celled organisms, to higher-level organisms that are becoming more and more flexible, powerful, and intelligent, and even predators that can hunt in groups appear. They will use various ingenious tactics Hunt down bigger and more ferocious foes.

Time has passed, and a new creature quietly appeared in the waters, with long and flexible arms and legs. It was inconspicuous at first, and was hunted and chased by other large predators. Creatures are smarter, and the buoyancy of water allows them to grow large, muscular, and brain-capacity. Taking into account both strength and wisdom, they quickly become the overlords in the waters.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chanji realized that this might be the ancestor of squid whiskers, just like the ancient apes are the ancestors of human beings.

The most important thing is that their arms and legs are very flexible, coupled with their wisdom, they have gradually learned to use their arms and legs to make tools. At first they were only used to build a living nest, and then they learned to roll up a stone with their arms and legs to chip another stone to make it more regular in shape, allowing for a larger and more stable nest.

As their movements of using stone tools become more and more refined, which in turn stimulates the brain and further develops the brain, those squid whisker subspecies with smaller brains are gradually eliminated.

Generations of squid have evolved continuously. They have built huge nest groups on the seabed, like primitive cities, to avoid the hunting of ferocious predators. This has allowed their numbers to continue to grow, but they are gradually no longer satisfied. at the bottom of the sea.

A small number of squidbeard ancestors began to look up at the starry sky, and they were characterized by eyes that were often particularly large and bright.

Jiang Chanji's consciousness floated up with them, to the surface of the sea.

There are many moons in this world, big or small, and some moons can be seen even in the daytime. At first glance, they may be regarded as two suns, thus forming a complex tidal effect.

Seeing these moons, he finally confirmed his guess that this is not the earth.

Those squidbeard ancestors who like to look up at the starry sky float to the surface of the sea every night, observe the stars with their huge eyes, and return to the bottom of the sea in the daytime, and use stones to record what they see—they arrange the stones into weird shapes , it may be the prototype of their characters, it should be some kind of hieroglyphs, some like the characters on the inner wall of the bottle that Jiang Chanji's parents mailed back.

At this time, it is obvious that they can no longer be called animals. They have evolved higher intelligence than chimpanzees and dolphins, can make tools and invent writing, and can accumulate and pass on knowledge from generation to generation through writing.

The appearance of writing has greatly accelerated their evolution rate. Those squid whiskers who like to look up at the starry sky may be because they look forward to the sky too much. Half of their squid whiskers have become wide and flat, and they can flap awkwardly... let’s call it Whisker wings, leave the sea briefly and fly to the sky.

Jiang Chanji's heart skipped a beat, isn't this just like Frigga just started learning to fly?

The respiratory organs of this part of the squid have also changed.

This part of the squid that has embarked on another evolutionary route must master better and better flying skills through repeated practice, and become amphibious in the sea and air.During this period, mathematicians seemed to be born in those squid tentacles left on the seabed. Since each individual squid has 16 tentacles, they use hexadecimal to count, just as humans have 16 fingers, so they use decimal Count the same.

Mathematicians helped pilots design more scientific flight movements through calculations, similar to the flapping movements of birds, and there are no birds in this world, only flying squid whiskers and other fish that glide at low altitudes, So they have learned the principle of flapping movements without a teacher.

Having mastered the hexadecimal system, they are better at mathematics and computing science than humans, probably because 16 is exactly 16 to the fourth power.

Is there a world without birds?

Jiang Chanji's doubts were quickly answered. There are no large land masses in this world, only sporadic islands floating out of the sea, which are the tops of mountains under the sea.

There is no land, no terrestrial animals, no birds, and the entire planet is almost an ocean. This is a water planet.

Jiang Chanji can understand this because the explorers in the squid mustache have successfully circumnavigated the planet. It took a long time, but the lifespan of this race is very long.

There may be some kind of natural navigation device in their bodies, just like fish schools are born to migrate between habitats and spawning grounds. Even if they swim to strange places, they will not lose their way and can always swim in one direction.

When the explorers returned to the starting point, they finally understood that this world is a ball. This fact not only promoted their cognition of the planet itself, but also stimulated the explosive progress of astronomy, because they can reasonably speculate—the sun, The moon and the stars are all spherical.

Jiang Chanji saw that they used stone knives to carve crude figures on the stone slabs - this planet was revolving around the sun, and several moons were revolving around this planet.

In the 1.0 version of the celestial body diagram, there is a thin line between each sphere, and they think that the thin line is pulling the planets to rotate.

More teams of explorers set out in all directions, some soared into the sky, and some dived deep into the bottom of the sea, trying to find the "line" - this is very difficult on a planet where land and sea coexist, but on this planet where all are known. On a water-covered planet, things are relatively simple.

The team of explorers returned to the starting point. Of course they did not find the thread, but the information they brought back further improved the geographical knowledge of the scientists, allowing them to initially grasp the overall picture of the planet.

Their scientists were puzzled by the non-existent "thread", and this confusion did not last long, at least not for long under Jiang Chanji's gaze.There is a squid-like scientist who likes to think, wrapping his arms and legs around the stone, throwing it up and catching it, throwing it up and catching it again and again, and one day it seemed to suddenly think of something after throwing it up, and it didn’t catch the stone, and it was sunk A stone hit it on the head.

Although it is not an apple but a stone, it still used a stone knife to flatten the few thin lines in the celestial body movement diagram, and proposed the law of universal gravitation.

An explosive leap forward in the scientific world of squid whiskers.
