Chapter 645

By dissecting and studying the collected biological samples, Chen Xin and biologists finally have a certain understanding of this alien creature.

This is a very strange creature, with a colony structure similar to ant colony or bee colony. The division of labor between individuals is clear, and even there are huge differences in body size.

If not for the discovery of a large number of embryos in the nest and in the mother's body that have not yet been fully hatched, but have already possessed the basic morphology, Chen Xin could not believe that the two seed bodies with such great individual differences would be the same organism.

At present, there are four kinds of individuals found in this alien creature. The first one is Chen Xin, the giant mother they saw in the cave. This monster's body length is more than 10 meters. Although a lot of biomass inside the body has been lost after being killed, it is estimated that it weighs more than 30 tons in good condition.

However, although the mother is huge, she has no mobility. Although she has a large number of walking limbs under her body, just like the queen, she has basically lost her mobility and become a huge reproductive machine.

A biologist who participated in the research thinks that this kind of mother may be very similar to the queen of ant colony. Before the birth of offspring, the body is not so heavy and huge, but after arriving at the nest, the body will have a certain degree of changes, such as the expansion and development of genital organs used to cultivate offspring, so that a large number of offspring and offspring can be produced.

After discussion with other biologists, Chen Xin thinks it is possible.

Because more than two-thirds of the mother's body is inflated to the exaggerated abdomen, not only the whole body is almost translucent, but it is also filled with a lot of liquid and daughter embryos. More than half of the weight of more than 30 tons is this huge abdomen.

Naturally, there is more information about maternal anatomy than that, and Chen Xin is most concerned about the brain of this thing.

As we all know, intelligence quotient of biology is closely related to brain capacity. Although it is not absolutely said that animals with larger brain capacity will be smarter, larger brain capacity means more brain cells, which naturally means more space to build more complex neural networks.

After being dissected, Chen Xin and biologists are presented with a brain weighing more than 100 kg.

Although it's not unusual for a monster weighing more than 30 tons to have such a big brain, after rigorous analysis, the mother has extremely high intelligence, and can even control and command all her offspring.

What's more surprising is that the mother's command and control of the offspring does not rely on the pheromone commonly used by ant colony or bee colony, but on the bioelectrical signal.

Near their mother's brain, Chen Xin found a special organ, which can generate electromagnetic waves in the form of biological discharge, thus transmitting radio wave signals, such as radio.

This great earthquake shocked Chen Xin and biologists, but also shocked all people who understand this fact.

Biological radio, it seems that no species on the blue star has evolved such exaggerated organs, and it's really unnecessary for animals.

After all, the transmission of information between animals is not too complicated. The combination of pheromones, body movements and calls is enough to transmit all the information.

But a biological radio? How on earth did this evolve? Why did this species evolve such a set of information transmitting organs? What's the matter with the environment they live in, and they need to transmit information in this way?

However, through the dissection of other progenies, Chen Xin and others suspect that this kind of creature is likely to be a population with certain wisdom, and they can communicate through radio waves to form a whole.

This is not like the existence of lions or monkeys, but the structure of ant colony and bee colony, with a more efficient way of communication, and individuals with a certain amount of wisdom

This makes Chen Xin wonder if this kind of creature has already begun to evolve towards the swarm of insects in science fiction.

Although there is no evidence, after dissecting all the biological individuals, Chen Xin is more and more worried that his worry will come true.

Among the other three seed bodies of this alien creature, Chen Xin has encountered combat progenies. The surface of the body is covered with a thick chitin skeleton, which has a strong defensive force. At the same time, the body structure is similar to that of cats, with strong flexibility, movement speed and strength. At the same time, there are a lot of combat progenies, some of which are similar to the existence of soldier ants in ant colony.

The other is Chen Xin's offspring, which are similar to those of worker ants or worker bees. They are only half the size of their fighting offspring, and their chitin bones are not so thick and strong. However, they have a pair of insect like forelimbs, which can dig and pop up quickly like a shrimp, It looks like a combination of a hammer and a shovel.

After seeing this kind of sub body, Chen Xin gradually understood why there were traces of excavation in the cave. Obviously, the cave was excavated little by little by this kind of sub body.

As for the fourth seed Chen Xin, they did not find a living body. The only individual sample was an immature embryo taken from the mother's body.

The size of this embryo is very large, more than three times that of the other two seed embryos, which once led Chen Xin and biologists to think that it was the mother's embryo.

But the final anatomy and research found that this is an unknown fourth seed body.

What exactly is the use of this daughter? We have different opinions, because the information we have on hand is too little, and now they are just beginning to study it. Obviously, it will take more time to decipher all the information.

Just when Chen Xin arranged for the scientific research center to set up a project for these biologists to continue to study these alien creatures, news came from Junshan island that the military had bombed the whole island.

This made Chen Xin suddenly surprised.

Although they did apply for air support at that time and were ready to carry out strategic bombing, after clearing all the progenies in the cave, they had already wiped out these alien creatures, so the air bombing had been cancelled at that time. How come now that the corpses have been pulled back for autopsy and the army has started bombing?

Just when Chen Xin was puzzled, more information came, and he was shocked.

New caves and tunnels appeared on Junshan Island, from which a large number of combat progenies poured out, which forced the military to carry out large-scale bombing to eliminate these alien creatures.

Moreover, it is not only Junshan Island, but also many places in the whole Dongting Lake area, where there are also traces of alien creatures, which have been inundated.
