Chapter 522

In a small Canyon around the highland, there is a cave with a diameter of about 4.5 meters on the cliff wall. It used to be one of the channels for volcanic magma flow, but no magma has flowed from here for more than 2 billion years.

This planet is not, as we know, the forbidden zone of life. The extremely harsh environment and atmospheric structure on the surface of the planet is indeed the forbidden zone of life, but this is limited to the surface.

As Mars's volcanoes were dying, the lava receded and the tunnels inside became the last refuge for life on the planet.

A creature with a history of more than 2 billion years has survived on this planet, and is the only large living creature on the planet.

In the cave passage where the small Canyon is located, it is moving at a slow speed. In the eyes of human beings, it is actually moving very slowly. It is also a failed competitor. In another male of the same kind, it fails in the competition for the right to mate, and is lucky to escape from his opponent's blood. Now it's a ascetic. He escapes from his nest in the depths of the earth. His body is covered with scars, and he is not cured. His body is becoming weaker and weaker.

After leaving the water, for the oxygen the body needs, it begins to consume its own water to produce the oxygen it needs. This is undoubtedly a chronic suicide, but it is also the best way to do it.

It has been a miracle to be able to come here alive, because the creatures in this population fail to compete for mating rights, which often means that they will become the winner's feast. Especially in the environment of vicious cases, Mars is barren, which is the most rare meal.

For the only species on Mars, this is not only a competition for mating rights, but also a contest between life and death. The winner will mate with the female and gain everything from the loser, including her body. The loser has nothing, even the body has to become the food of the winner. This is the most cruel competition.

It has been a miracle to escape.

At the moment, it crawls to a steep slope, and the other end behind the top is a steep slope with a downward angle of 60 degrees. Such a steep slope is not a big obstacle for this kind of creatures, but it is an exception. It is hurt too much, and its breath is getting weaker and weaker. It is waiting for more death. It can not safely pass through the steep cave slope channel.

But it has to move forward. When it crosses the top of the cave, its whole body slips down like a rolling stone in the steep cave. Its body can be rolled into a sphere to protect itself and roll down crazily in the cave.

Pezos highland, outside the canyon, cave mouth, it tumbles out of the interior, falls outside the canyon, and is exposed to the Martian surface.

Exposed to the sun, it will die

All of a sudden, it made a sad cry. However, in the thin atmosphere on Mars, sound travels only 1.5% of the earth's length.

Mars has a thin atmosphere and almost no oxygen. This species can adapt and survive in this world known as the forbidden zone of life for hundreds of millions of years. This species has lived in the depths of the earth for hundreds of millions of years. One thing is extremely lethal to it - cosmic rays.

Pezos is about to enter the night, but at dusk, the sun is still shining on this land. Ultraviolet rays and various cosmic rays from outer space can still make it die without a burial place. Its survival instinct makes it frantically struggle to escape from this place, which is contrary to the dying before. However, it does not know that there is no place to escape from the open surface.

Its skin began to burn, the speed visible to the naked eye began to fester and fester, and the muscle tissue began to turn into pus. It stayed on the path it crawled. The pus water touched the soil layer on the ground and suddenly emitted white smoke. The trace water in the soil began to dehydrate seriously, and the thin air was filled with strong acid corrosion smell

Finally, it was exhausted. It escaped from the competition of its competitors, but it failed to escape the death. Finally, it rolled down from the cave on the cliff to the surface of Mars. It tried its best to climb 80 meters long, and finally stopped. The pus was immersed in the surface soil layer. Finally, only a pile of complete skeleton was left on the ground. White smoke diffused around it and quickly dissipated.

The cave mouth along the cliff goes deep into the bottom of the dead volcano. When entering the cave from the exit, it is necessary to climb a steep slope. That creature was killed because of this steep slope, and then it went deep into the ground all the way. With the deepening, crisscross karst cave network began to appear.

With the deepening of the earth's core, a new cradle of life appeared in the earth. The core of Mars is about 1700 degrees centigrade, and the temperature is always stable. In the ancient times of Mars, when volcanic activity was the most intense and frequent, it was magma, but now it is composed of water. Keeping the right distance from the core of Mars, which has a high temperature of 1700 degrees Celsius, is just like the right distance between the earth and the sun in the solar system, which makes the water on earth liquefy.

There is a similar "habitable zone" beneath Mars, where water is liquid. In addition to this golden location, the soil on Mars also contains water, which, if known, might explain the mystery of the source of water in the soil.The geographical location of Gold allows water to liquefy here, and the underground space originally formed by volcanic magma or interlaced corridors also makes it possible for water to converge.

This is the last habitat of life.

Deep underground in the pezos area, there is a huge reservoir, but it is definitely not the only one on the planet. The reservoir area is no less than Dongting Lake. Groups of reptiles, more than three times the size of an adult Komodo lizard on earth, are reptiles with more than 3500 pieces of muscle tissue in a single individual, compared with more than 600 pieces in humans.

These creatures have no moving limbs, but crawl like snakes. They have a pair of forelimbs that are not used for moving, but are more used for fighting. They are composed of three ligament joints, which can be stretched out, but usually they are half contracted into "s" shape, just like the forelimbs of Mantis on earth.

What makes people wonder is that the air here contains a higher oxygen content than that in the surface atmosphere of Mars. Although it is impossible for human beings to breathe at this tiny oxygen content, it will definitely stir the world if it is discovered by human beings.

At this moment, these creatures on the shore are intertwined with each other. The dazzling electric current flickers from time to time on the surface of these creatures. The huge electric current generated here can kill an adult instantly, but it is not harmful to these creatures.

Because these currents are generated from these organisms.

The water here is also the most lethal venom for humans, because the water is full of strong acid corrosion, and the strong acid substances in the water also come from these surviving Martian organisms.

There are no plants on Mars, but such organisms also need to breathe. Oxygen is essential, but there is not enough oxygen on the planet for them to use.

However, they can make their own oxygen for life activities, and the trace oxygen in the air also comes from them.

The reason why these organisms can generate strong electric current and acidic solution independently is that they have evolved a kind of unique organ, which can produce oxygen to supply life activities through the process of "electrolyzing water", and the acidic solution secreted by such organisms also serves for this purpose. They can increase the ion concentration in water and enhance the conductivity, In this way, the reaction rate can be increased to support the oxygen needed by the body.

The evolution of hundreds of millions of years has allowed this species to survive in the harsh environment. However, the energy consumption required by such a huge volume is absolutely not small. Despite the fact that they are "lingering" together in groups, if they have the opportunity, they will not hesitate to eat the same species and completely swallow up a similar species, which can meet the needs of long-term activities. The poor living environment has created They have to be cruel to survive, but that alone won't keep them alive. One day they'll eat none of their kind.

The last surviving Martian organisms, which means that they have no source of food. The thin oxygen on Mars can almost be ignored, and it is impossible to supply such a huge organism with respiration. Their huge bodies need to consume a lot of oxygen to maintain their life activities. They produce oxygen by secreting strong acid corrosion and electrolyzing water Secreting acid corrosion and providing electricity means consuming more body functions, and it is impossible to survive without food as a supplement to the body's energy.

But even in such a bad environment, they still have a set of unique survival skills that human beings have never heard of
