Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

In his spare time, Shen Cong likes to read books and video materials about creatures.

Some time ago, he watched a documentary recording the research data of the Chengjiang biota, and through special effects technology, he restored the explosive evolution of the colorful biota during the Cambrian explosion of life 542 million to 530 million years ago.

The discovery of the Chengjiang biota poses a major challenge to Darwin's theory of evolution. Many biologists believe that the theory of evolution is not always correct. Even religion got involved, putting forward various creation theories, arguing that God created the Cambrian explosion of biodiversity.

However, with the correct understanding of geology and paleontology, combined with the fact that the Cambrian explosion occurred within 10 to 20 million years, this is not only not a refutation of the theory of evolution, but a powerful supplement to the theory of evolution.

Because during the Cambrian period, the earth's temperature rose and biological recovery, oxygen-rich ozone was formed, frequent volcanoes increased marine nutrition, phosphate rocks were formed during this period, and male and female sexes appeared, all of which prompted the biological explosion.

Combining these conditions, Darwin’s theory of evolution was finally developed and repaired. On July 1, 2019, the 35th anniversary of the discovery of the Chengjiang biota, the Chinese scientific community changed the translation of “evolution theory” to a more reasonable “evolution theory”.

Since Darwin published the classic masterpiece The Origin of Species in 1859, it has prompted people to think about the very philosophical question of where they come from. Over the past 100 years of exploration and research, they have developed and improved the creation of life from scratch. The miracle created.

Put forward the theory of intermittent equilibrium: The evolution of organisms, whether it is evolution or evolution, is not always gradual, but a process of coexistence of gradual and leap forward.

...

The reason why he thought of the theory of evolution was that Shen Cong saw the changes in Pearl's old oyster.

He dissected many pearl oysters, dug out the pearls, and peeled off the complete active core shells. Therefore, he can clearly see that there is a clear dividing line between clam shells and clam meat.

The active core is a relatively independent tissue part with special properties in the organism.

Because most of it is a complete piece of bone, gradually turning into a semi-metallic active core, so the boundaries are clear and can be easily peeled off.

But in Pearl's old mussel, Shen Cong saw that this boundary was blurring.

Some of the clam meat connected to the clam shell has already shown signs of metal gradient, and it is stuck together with the clam shell, which cannot be peeled off well.

That is to say, the active core has eroded into the body tissue, the flesh at the junction begins to have a metallic gradient, and the other flesh further away also shows slight signs of metallic gradient.

It's like cancer cells are spreading, and the whole body is becoming cancerous.

Shen Cong cut off a piece of clam meat with a gradual change in metal. According to his perception, there was indeed a slight reaction belonging to the active core in this piece of clam meat - the loss of activity slowed down, and after the injection of activity, it could still stimulate a slight reaction. Sharpen the response.

What's more strange is that this piece of clam meat has not hardened, and it still maintains the same softness as the surrounding normal clam meat.

The difference is that when this piece of meat is cut, there is a kind of blockage that is cutting metal.

Does it have both the softness of muscles and the hardness of metal? Shen Cong frowned, not knowing how to react for a while, his mind was a little confused.

He had longed for the lv1 era many times, including fantasizing that all living things turned into metal, and metal lumps walked on the ground one by one... But when he really saw such signs, he felt panicked.

The active core of the old pearl clam has begun to erode the surrounding tissues, and the whole body is also slightly disordered. This is indeed transitioning from an organic life form to an inorganic metal form.

Metal life.

Is this the evolution direction of the lv1 era?

The bark and leaf veins of plants gradually change to metal, the active core of animals gradually changes to metal, and now even body tissues begin to gradually change to metal... Mutants will also undergo such changes? Then what about Iron Man, why would I be with a metal device, life Integration?

Is it possible that one day, I will also become a real metal 'Iron Man'?

There was no answer to the question, so Shen Cong removed the three jacks, put the old pearl clam to close the shell, and returned to the King Kong with a piece of clam meat with a metallic gradient.

Throwing the clam meat on the laboratory table, Shen Cong dragged a chair over, sat on it, and sorted out his chaotic thoughts.

...

The first thing Shen Cong thought of was the theory of evolution.

Thinking of the explosion of life in the Cambrian period, in just over 20 million years, organisms moved from the deep sea to the shallow sea, adding countless species, providing sufficient evidence for the punctuated balance theory.

The theory of punctuated equilibrium holds that the evolution of organisms is not a slow continuous gradual accumulation process as Darwin said, but a process of long-term stability alternating with short-term drastic changes, thus leaving many gaps in the geological record.

Right now, the earth is undergoing a brief upheaval, right?

A meteor shower that destroyed the world brought activity, and the appearance of activity changed the stability of the metal, either corroded, rusted, or activated. At the same time, it also changed the compositional characteristics of the organisms, linking the organisms with organic structures with metals, and gradually changing towards metals.

The only old pearl oyster that reached the lv1 age, the active core made of all metal began to erode body tissues.

Shen Cong immediately thought of the horn-like protrusions of the golden dragon and the tail whip of the swift leopard.

The horn-like protrusions seem to be gradually changing from muscle to metal, while the tail whip is that the bone part and the outer skin and flesh have all undergone a metal gradual change.

These can all be seen as active cores eroding body tissue.

Then, is the metal change a continuation of the evolution of new life forms, or a disease that is heading towards destruction? Shen Cong was a little uncertain about the mystery, and couldn't imagine how he could survive if his whole body had turned into metal.

But he can't guarantee that metal life cannot survive.

Donkey Kong came back to life, and the failed metal life forms also came back to life. If the ability to stretch is strengthened, it might be possible to have free-moving metal life forms.

Now in the new world, the old order has been overthrown. ⑧☆miào⑧☆bi(.*)gé⑧☆.$.

It seems to be another explosion of life in the Cambrian period. Different types of life also appeared rapidly, and countless evolutionary beasts and evolutionary trees emerged one after another.

There are those with strong evolution that climbed to the top of the food chain, those with weak evolution that became the prey of predators, those that evolved unreasonably and were eliminated, such as ferocious cats, and ordinary creatures that did not evolve and gradually disappeared.

It's like shuffling the cards, erasing the old and creating a new one.

Life ushered in a new leap forward.

Zhao Kan said that the future era will be the era of new evolutionaries like Li Du, and they, including Shen Cong, are all ancient products of the old era, and may one day be completely eliminated and become archaeological research subjects. material.

Shen Cong believed it a little now.

It's just what form is the iron man, iron man or mutant, who is the 'Yunnan bug'?
