Chapter 846, parthenogenesis
Chapter 3 is here! Luckily, I caught up! Don't say much, read the book, read the book-
Fortunately, Wei Xiaobei's skin is tough enough, otherwise, his big toe may be gnawed off.
By the time the remaining mutant creepers begin to draw to a few meters, their tender green leaves begin to turn yellow.
Wei Xiaobei could feel the hungry breath from these mutant creepers, and immediately took out a large number of pigs, cattle, sheep and fish from the storage ring and went into the water.
These things were food waste purchased by Wei Xiaobei from the royal capital island of Rosnia.
The inhabitants of the kingdom of Lysnia do not have the habit of eating these sewers, and the weather here is always hot, a large amount of sewer garbage is easy to emit foul smells, and based on the fact that the land of Lysnia exists in an island structure, in order to prevent pollution of the ocean, the treatment of these sewers has always been a problem for those slaughterhouses in Lysnia.
Of course, there are also many fishermen who buy these launches at a low price and invest them in their own fisheries to improve the nutrition level of their fisheries.
However, this practice can easily lead to marine life disasters such as red tides and so on, so if caught by the sanitation department of the Kingdom of Liusnia, it will be severely punished.
In this way, the purchase of sewerage is very easy, Wei Xiaobei only spent some freight, and got more than 1,000 tons of sewer garbage.
And this sewage garbage is perfect for use here.
Well, it just stinks.
After hundreds of kilograms of water were poured out of the storage ring by Wei Xiaobei, the air in this small valley became unbearable, and the violent stench spread out in all directions, almost suffocating.
But the mutated creepers loved the stinking garbage, and they desperately stretched their vines and dug their ends into the water. Began to devour like crazy.
With the help of these launches, the growth rate of the mutant creeper exploded at an alarming rate.
In two minutes, the surface of the mutant creeper was transformed into a ground composed of vines, and countless vines were staggered on the ground layer by layer, devouring the water while also launching a rapid attack on their own kind.
Well. By this time, the morphology of these mutant creepers was somewhat different.
There are all the leaves of the whole body that have been transformed into spikes, there are vines that have been shortened and stand on the ground like mallets, and there are vines, the leaves have not changed, but they will secrete a toxin, and what surprised Wei Xiaobei even more was that there was a mutant creeper that even degenerated to a length of less than a meter, and its attack weapon was to pull the root system out of the ground, and the roots became extremely tough, and even could strangle other similar vines.
Under the radiation of Rocky's fingers. These mutant creepers, which were originally mutant plants, have mutated again.
However, during this period, there were still many mutant creepers with genetic collapse, and their vines grew and suddenly burst out of yellow water, and all the leaves withered and fell to death in a few seconds.
By the time each of these mutant creepers had occupied a piece of territory and entered a state of confrontation with each other, their numbers had been reduced to less than fifty.
You must know that the number of mutant creeper seeds sown by Wei Xiaobei exceeded 2,000, and now there are only 47 left.
While their killing of each other played a major role in this, the various collapses caused by radiation also played a large role.
After the initial genetic mutation. These mutant creepers may have been mutated in the first place, and the speed of mutation began to weaken. Wei Xiaobei withstood their attacks and ingested the genes several times, observed the process of their genetic mutations, and found that the next mutation would take at least three hours, so he started a new experiment.
And the material of this experiment is not the mutated creeper seeds, but the red meat crabs, yellow meat crabs and even various shrimps that Wei Xiaobei caught in the gray world of Weijia Island. Shellfish.
These are all living organisms, so Wei Xiaobei chose the beach closest to his finger and put thousands of crabs, shrimps, shellfish, etc. into the seawater.
At the same time, a large amount of sewage is put into the seawater.
This is also a helpless thing. In the sea near the small desert island, all algae are extinct, and although the nutrients of the sea are still there, it is not enough to support the mutation of these creatures.
Soon the sea water became extremely dirty under the underwater pollution, and those sea creatures frantically ate in the sea water, and their bodies were rapidly mutated under the stimulation of radiation.
Wei Xiaobei didn't pay much attention to the changes in the appearance of these sea creatures, but every once in a while, he would ingest some genes, which could be regarded as archives.
After all, in the mutation process of these creatures, the genes will change significantly, and this change can allow Wei Xiaobei to obtain a deeper genetic knowledge reserve.
In addition, Wei Xiaobei also threw the fresh meat of some Gray Realm monsters to a place less than five meters from his fingers.
Since the fresh meat is slaughtered by the monster and even when it is stored in the storage ring, the cells inside have a considerable degree of activity.
And under the intense radiation of ultra-intensity, the meat of these cells, which have not completely died, also undergoes drastic changes.
Some pieces of meat have black manes similar to hair, some pieces of meat have teeth, hands and feet, and even eyes on a piece of flesh, and there are also pieces of meat that have no change in appearance, but have a strong corrosive effect, just lying on other pieces of meat, you can quickly digest each other.
Not long after, Wei Xiaobei was slightly surprised to find that there was a group of strange-shaped fleshy creatures in front of him.
Well, it's no longer enough to describe them in terms of cuts of meat.
To be precise, after a considerable number of these pieces of meat have been eliminated, they have been transformed into individual organisms.
Of course, this elimination rate is a bit higher than those mutated creepers.
Of the tens of thousands of pieces of meat, less than a hundred survived.
Wei Xiaobei was extremely excited to catch these meat creatures and began to ingest genes one by one.
You know, at this distance, it is already a miracle that so many creatures can survive at one time.
Typically, the mortality rate is 100 percent.
Of course, this may be due to the flesh of the Gray Monster.
And the next mutation again caused the number of surviving creatures to continue to decrease, and finally Wei Xiaobei had to move these surviving creatures to a location far away from his fingers, lest such a valuable experimental material explode like this.
After a while, Wei Xiaobei went to the mutant creeper area and the seaside area, ingested the genes, and recorded the experimental data.
In this way, in the following time, Wei Xiaobei continued to travel back and forth to the three locations, constantly ingesting genes, recording the continuous changes of these biological genes, and accumulating experimental data.
Three days later, in the early morning, Wei Xiaobei sat on a reef covered in stinky sweat, eating barbecue and drinking water, while looking at the creatures in the sea that had become strange.
Well, in fact, these organisms are mutating at the same time, which is also a kind of evolutionary elimination process of survival of the fittest.
First of all, after receiving radiation mutations, organisms that cannot even guarantee the integrity of their genes will be the first to be eliminated by genetic collapse.
Secondly, in the process of competing for food, or killing each other, a group of creatures with weak combat effectiveness, or no combat effectiveness, and insufficient escape ability are eliminated.
And now, the final test of these creatures has arrived.
Multiply!
If these organisms are able to reproduce properly, then they can truly be regarded as a separate species, rather than a deformed creature under some classification.
A crocodile-like creature crawled quickly on six legs with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, covered in scales, and crawled quickly on its six legs against the ground.
Well, this creature was originally a shellfish transformation, and of course, it's a little weird that shellfish can evolve into what it is now.
In particular, there is a trace of electric light on its hair-like tail, which is even more weird.
You know, although that shellfish is a kind of shellfish, there is no current gene in its genes.
In other words, in this short period of three days, this crocodile-like creature not only changed dramatically in form and volume, but even some special abilities were produced in the mutation.
It is precisely because of this that this crocodile-like creature is one of the more than ten creatures that Wei Xiaobei is most concerned about.
After quickly digging out a deep pit, the crocodile-like creatures lay fist-sized eggs in the pits.
When the eggs were laid, the crocodile-like creature buried the pit and lay down on its stomach, never moving again.
Not long after, a creature similar to a combination of a starfish and a crab quietly burrowed into a cave under the sea, and after blocking the outside of the cave with its tentacles, it was safe to lay eggs in the cave
All of this may be due to the cyclical effect of radiation on organisms, and in just half an hour, a considerable number of organisms in the area of the small desert island have entered the mode of reproduction.
But Wei Xiaobei has found that the reproduction mode of these creatures is basically parthenogenesis.
The so-called parthenogenesis refers to the fact that the eggs of female organisms can develop into normal individuals without fertilization.
In fact, this phenomenon of parthenogenesis is extremely common in nature, and many species have the ability to reproduce parthenogenesis.
Cucumbers in plants are a prime example of this, which can bear fruit without pollination.
Aphids, with a warped buttocks, can give birth to small aphids, as well as ants and bees, which also have this ability.
Advanced creatures, some sharks, some voles, etc., can reproduce on their own without males, females.
Of course, the most fundamental reason why these deviant creatures are parthenogenesis is that they have no second kind of life other than themselves.
The morphology of mutant creatures is strange, and under the action and screening of radiation, it is naturally impossible to produce two identical male and female creatures at the same time to match. (To be continued.) )
