Nonhuman Evolution Guide

"Oh, really?" Sheldon said pleasantly, "Did you really find out that you used toilet paper in the bathroom that did not meet the international standard in tensile strength?"

Wieland: "..."

"This is really a surprise." Sheldon looked very happy.

"Zhang, open the door." Wieland said impatiently, "I'm going to the laboratory."

Zhang Lin released Wieland, and the scientist came out of the bathroom in a hurry, called David who was next door, and the two hurried to the laboratory on the other side.

"Qualified toilet paper can be found in Wal-Mart, no need to go to the laboratory." Shelton chased out and shouted behind.

Wieland paused, then turned around and roared, "Don't mention Wal-Mart to me!"

Zhang Lin remembered—he told Wieland that Wieland-Tangu Company was acquired by Wal-Mart in the end, no wonder Wieland dislikes Wal-Mart so much now.

So much so that toilet paper doesn't even meet Sheldon's standards.

The nerds looked at each other, Zhang Linyi shrugged, "Shall we go and see?"

This suggestion was unanimously endorsed by the otaku.

When they arrived at the laboratory, they found that Wieland was not tinkering with his messy instruments, but was writing on the desk.

"What did you think of?" Zhang Lin frowned and asked.

Wieland raised a finger and shook it, proving that he was very busy right now and had no time to answer.

Zhang Lin looked at David, and the artificial intelligence replied: "I don't know, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Wieland didn't tell me anything, and he has been supplementing his work notes."

Half an hour later, Wieland finally relaxed, threw away the ballpoint pen, stroked his back with both hands, and leaned back on the chair tiredly covering his face.

"Have you found the key to hair loss?" Zhang Lin sat down beside him and asked.

Wieland: "..."

The scientist put down his hands, with an expression of "If I couldn't beat you, I would have killed you a long time ago".

"Cooper just said," Wieland's face was gloomy, and Shelton's "Aha" made the gloom a little deeper. "—Cooper said, 'How did the servant of God lay eggs on the next planet in the past 30 years', see, this is the key point—the servant of God was born here, planet LV233, and the first alien Appeared in LV426. I don't believe that this kind of...accidental creature will learn aviation technology in just 30 years."

"Unless..." Zhang Lin thought of Sheldon's previous assumption.

"Unless such creatures existed a long time ago." Wieland crossed his fingers and frowned deeply, "They may have appeared on LV426, perhaps in later generations—just because no one has ever reached LV233, so no one knows about this planet There are also aliens."

"And I remember that when the aliens first appeared, that planet was already... full of engineers' spaceships." Zhang Lin suddenly felt that Wieland's hypothesis was very convincing, but this hypothesis meant a terrible fact ——"You mean, no matter what the external environment and evolutionary path are different, the protozoa will always go through many steps... to produce aberrations?"

He vaguely remembered that he had considered this issue before, but at that time he thought he was more of an alien.But Wieland said that someone—or whatever creature he was—planned to turn him into an alien, so this assumption seems to be different from the current point of view.

"That's right." Wieland replied briefly, and then fell into a stalemate silence.

Zhang Lin was also thinking about various possibilities rapidly, but no matter what, his question would always return to the original one - who turned him into this monster, and what he could do.

"The problem now is..." Wieland suddenly said, and Zhang Lin's eyes fell on him suddenly.

Wieland looked at him without hesitation, "—we should go to the next-door planet to take a look."

Looking at Wieland's expression, Zhang Lin slowly had a bad feeling, "Wait...you don't mean to let me go, do you? Or...you plan to let me go alone?"

Wielander said in a serious tone, "Otherwise? That planet may already be full of alien eggs-in fact, it is almost certain. Otherwise, answer my question from Cooper just now-do you have the desire to lay eggs now?"

Zhang Lin touched his butt subconsciously.

It's a serious problem, first he's going to be male-to-female, grow an ugly crest, then have a fat ovipositor hanging from his ass, and then nest in a burrow somewhere surrounded by slimy alien eggs.

——Zhang Lin burst into tears.

Although this process may be very long, since neither he nor the big blue bottle has the desire to change sex and lay eggs, it seems that Wieland's hypothesis...is very possible.

"Do you really want me to go alone?" Zhang Lin was struggling for the last time.

"I don't know, Mr. Zhang, this is your decision." David next to him said, "Can we continue to learn to drive?"

The Prometheus has already crashed, but fortunately, the most indispensable thing on this planet is the engineer spacecraft.Wieland's space program has been around since he started making the $[-] million solar panels, but it wasn't until eight years later at TED that Wieland actually presented his vision.

Zhang Lin knew that the Wieland Company had always had a private dock, and maybe there was some secret agreement with the military at that time. Unfortunately, it was not an easy task to develop a spaceship.But after he traveled to this world, David 8 could solve all the problems.

Wieland once said that he would drive a human spaceship to this planet within three years at the most, but unfortunately Zhang Lin’s departure time will definitely not be three years later—so he had to learn how to operate it from David. Engineer ship.

Kiki-shaped cockpit, egg-shaped control buttons—what could he say, the engineer's taste was a question.

However, the more complicated and high-end the machinery, the easier it is to operate. Zhang Lin learned how to operate the engineer's spaceship without much effort.It's nothing more than summoning a gorgeous star map that spreads across the entire bridge, and then selects one's destination planet, then enters the cockpit to sleep, and sleeps until the spacecraft lands.

In addition to the wonderful taste, the engineer's spaceship is more than one level higher than that of humans.Wieland really wanted to take it apart to see the structure inside, but unfortunately many cabins were still sealed at this time, such as the cargo compartment of each spaceship, which was still full of canned protozoa.Once the air leaks in, it will fully activate the organic matter, allowing it to infect the protozoa on the planet - and they will be threatened by more mutated worms.

So Wieland had no choice but to give up this idea, after all, life is more important.

In addition to driving lessons, Zhang Lin also needs to have a brief understanding of some environmental characteristics on this planet.

"According to the preliminary estimation of the scanning results, the environment of the planet LV426 is likely to be very similar to that of LV233." David reported to Wieland and Zhang Lin.

"What does 'similar' mean?" Zhang Lin felt that this conclusion was very subtle.

"Theoretically speaking, it is even difficult to have two terrestrial planets in a galaxy." Wieland said to the galaxies rotating on the big screen, "The probability of this is very small-but this is the universe. Nothing is impossible. We can assume this is why the engineers chose the ζII Reticuli system as a stop, but these are not the most important-the most important thing is that you may also encounter on that planet. Silica and static electricity storms are very common here, once the harbingers come, try to avoid them as much as possible.”

"Silicon?" Zhang Lin frowned and repeated.

Wieland raised half of the corner of his mouth, "That's right, Silicon."

Silicon is one of the important components in the alien exoskeleton. If the alien is the final evolutionary result, then in order to achieve this goal faster, it seems to be a matter of course to choose these two planets.

"Also, there is one more thing." Wieland looked at Zhang Lin and said, "I think I should ask for your opinion."

Zhang Lin frowned.

"Based on two previous formulations, TBAA-1 and TBAA-2, I tried the new formulation," Wieland said.

TBAA-1 is the light red injection that Wieland has been injecting, a protozoa counterbalance that can maintain the balance in his body and prevent the protozoa from decomposing him at the molecular level.And TBAA-2 is the light gray injection that Wieland used to make Zhang Lin's tail fall off. It is called a protoplasmic supplement. As the name suggests, Zhang Lin who has been injected with TBAA-2 is exactly the same as a human in appearance.

Zhang Lin once asked Wieland why he couldn't maintain his human form.It's a pity that Wieland couldn't tell the reason for this, and could only roughly say that it should be related to balance, so even if he temporarily became a human completely, he would still grow a tail due to his own balance.

The God Servant was not fully human when he was injected with TBAA-2 for the first time. Its eyes had not evolved, and it looked very terrifying.After Zhang Lin soaked it into the original body, it fully took on the human form, but it didn't take long for it to change back.This seems to prove that its balanced state should be the form of a servant of God, but Wieland has never dared to change it back after capturing the big blue screen, so it is not yet certain.

As for the new preparation that Wieland mentioned, Zhang Lin seemed to have guessed something, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Wieland put an injection filled with dark blue liquid in front of Zhang Lin.

"TBAA-3, a protozoan mimic. It works...in theory, to restore you to the alien form."

Zhang Lin was silent and did not speak.

"There may be many dangers on that planet. Now you even need an atmospheric treatment package to breathe...and you may have to face a group of aliens."

Zhang Lin spread his hands, and suddenly laughed, the smile was a little cold. "I thought you knew, or at least could have guessed, that being an alien is not just, being an alien."

Wieland did not answer, but Zhang Lin continued, "When my body changes, all hormonal reactions will change, and biological instincts will be activated. I will change, and I cannot control it—just like no one can It's like controlling my own hunger. When I'm an alien... I'm an alien."

Wieland lowered his eyes, and Zhang Lin said softly, "I might...kill all of you—if I lose control one day."

"Rather than sitting still and waiting to die, I think it's worth trying." Wieland forced himself to look up at Zhang Lin, and said in a blunt tone.

This is true. Even people as afraid of death as Wieland took the initiative to find the big blue bottle, because they were indeed trapped in a certain situation and had to try their best to find out the truth.

Zhang Lin finally grabbed the syringe.

"When I come back, maybe I won't be there anymore."

"I know." Wieland whispered.

Zhang Lin shrugged, "Then I have one more request, let the big blue bottle go with me."

"What?" Wieland was startled, "No, you think you can control him?"

"Of course not." Zhang Lin said helplessly, thinking of Big Blue Bottle's increasingly rich methods of courtship, from cuteness to baring teeth, from pretending to be obedient to sneak attack-although Zhang Lin successfully controlled and punished each time.

But shameless is shameless, Big Blue Bottle's language ability has basically been perfected, and his intelligence has reached the level of a frightening adult human in several tests - not including the possibility of him being stupid.

This is just a big blue bottle that hasn't evolved into an alien, so what about a real alien?

Since the big blue bottle already has human intelligence, it is obviously not a good way to lock him up and teach him like a beast.Once he develops a rebellious mentality, it will become a big trouble.

Although it is still just a big plaster.

But that's fine, at least Zhang Lin can be sure that even if he releases the big blue bottle, he won't just gnaw Wieland and the others in a merry way, but will continue to cling to himself for copulation-although it's still quite annoying It hurts.

In addition, he has another vague idea...but let's wait until LV426.

When the big blue bottle came out of the observation room, Wieland stared nervously through the big screen in the laboratory, and asked David to guard the door anytime and anywhere.

Zhang Lin directly took him into the engineer spaceship behind, and did not let the current big blue bottle meet Wieland.

"Are you sure you want to... do this?" Wieland said.

"He's already out," Zhang Lin said into the communicator, "it's right next to me. So be careful with your words, dear, he might go to the lab and bite your brain off."

Wieland: "..."

Both Zhang Lin and Big Blue Bottle were wearing a full set of exploration suits, and their helmets were connected to an atmospheric treatment package to provide them with oxygen.

When he walked to the entrance of the next engineer spaceship, Zhang Lin looked back.At this time, LV233 was already much deserted, and the nerds had gone back long ago. Before leaving, they left a gift from Penny to Zhang Lin—a large number of dog videos recorded by Leonard and Sheldon's hard disk recorders. blood drama.

Zhang Lin expressed his thanks with tears in his eyes, and then threw the hard drive away after the nerds left.

Although the days with Petunia and the nerds are indeed memorable, but this——is enough.

The empty land stretches to meet the distant sky, and there is nothing in sight, and there is no one beside the distant spaceship.

Zhang Lin supported his helmet, ready to get into the entrance.

Suddenly, two people came out from the side of the spaceship, one of them waved his hands in a regular manner, and the other seemed to be looking here with his arms folded.

Zhang Lin smiled, gave Yuan Fang a middle finger, and then entered the engineer's spaceship with the big blue bottle.

After entering the spaceship, Zhang Lin took off his helmet. There is oxygen for humans to breathe, so there is no need for him to wear these burdens.And not long after... he might not even be able to wear them.

The big blue bottle looked at Zhang Lin through the helmet, and took off the helmet as well.

The password to open the bridge is the same. After Zhang Lin entered it at the door, the metal door that has not been opened for 2000 years rolled up dust and was collected upwards.Zhang Lin walked in, and the big blue bottle next to him hesitated for a moment before following in.

Zhang Lin had already been indoctrinated countless times by David at the request of Wieland, and he had already memorized the procedure for launching the spaceship fluently.The big blue bottle has been quietly watching him poking back and forth on the egg-shaped buttons that control the spaceship, and finally set his sights on those round and elastic eggs.

Zhang Lin noticed the movement of the big blue bottle, and gave him a warning glance, "Don't move around."

"Yes, Captain." Big Blue Bottle replied obediently.

But he's still staring at the balls.

Zhang Lin frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The big blue bottle blinked, "They are very familiar."

Zhang Lin didn't know how to answer, these things... looked like odd-shaped eggs, round and soft.But the problem is, the big blue bottle has never laid eggs, so how can it feel familiar?

"I've heard them... calling." The big blue bottle turned its face sideways and said to them with its ears.

Zhang Lin suddenly realized that maybe this was the call from the queen on another planet.But when he first arrived on this planet, he was also in the shape of an alien, why didn't he hear it?

"Not long after I was born, I heard their calls." The big blue bottle knelt down, looked straight at the egg-shaped buttons, and reached out to stroke them gently. "They say they want to come out, they want to be human. They want to be... themselves."

"But I can't do it," Big Blue Bottle said dejectedly, "There are no humans here, I can only let them wait."

Zhang Lin felt a little uncomfortable.If we say that he was a human being transformed into an alien shape at the beginning, then the big blue bottle is just the opposite now. He said everything to Zhang Lin without any scruples. He didn't know what scheming is, but this Zhang Lin has not experienced the concept of treating human beings as food for a long time.

He felt a little apprehensive at the thought that he would soon be back to that state.

But Wieland was right, it was about staying alive.

The big blue bottle poked an egg vigorously, "Why can't it talk?" He touched his face, his voice lowered, his deep blue eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of misty ice, "It's because I Can't you hear me?"

Zhang Lin silently watched the big blue bottle study those buttons, and suddenly said: "Then do you still want to change back?"

Big Blue Bottle touched the side of his neck subconsciously.Apparently, he also knew about the injections that kept him in human form.

Zhang Lin thought that Big Blue Bottle's answer should be without hesitation, but surprisingly he hesitated.

"I don't know." The big blue bottle said confusedly, "What am I?"

Zhang Lin suddenly felt a little sad.

It seems that he is not the only one who is vacillating between aliens and humans.
