Chapter 840 Major Discovery
Submarine Goblet has completed its second stationary mission this year.Returning from the South Pacific.

The Goblet Worm has several missions on its shoulders.These include "collecting seawater samples from various places to detect the survival of artificial microbial communities in different regions", "repairing planetary physics detectors at sea", and "searching for possible surviving marine biomes" and so on.

The No. 200 infection event more than [-] years ago is the mass extinction beyond all mass extinctions.However, in the group of scientific research knights, some people always believed that some creatures would have survived.

200 years ago, the early works of His Majesty the Father of All Machines, those algae and zooplankton that can be eaten by ordinary metal-based organisms, are still breeding at the equator, and the scale is not small.And it is also possible for creatures that can feed on these small things to survive that disaster.

When the first ancestor of martial arts released these creatures, he hoped that they could provide a little food for the survivors of the catastrophe.

Since 100 years ago, they have made some discoveries one after another.A small number of decapod groups have been found.Their ancestors may be the species of prawns living in the sub-frigid zone, but mutations have caused great changes in the traits of these creatures, and the randomly released viruses have randomly changed the gene pools of these creatures, so the scientific research knights cannot confirm What are they originally.

Taking this discovery as a boundary, the Knights of Scientific Research discovered some small creatures one after another.This batch of biological reminders are generally below five centimeters.Obviously, these gadgets survived the No. [-] infection incident by virtue of their huge population size.

And fate is generous.In front of these little beings is an almost blank ocean.

In the next 200 years, the size of these creatures has tended to increase, and the population size has also been developed.

If it was the Earth in the past, a community of this size would be nothing at all.But right now, that's more important than anything else.

According to the records, the discoverers of those creatures were all rewarded by the throne.

This also makes some scientific research knights on the earth more enthusiastic about this kind of scientific research activities.

However, such discoveries have not been made several times in total.

There are very few species that can survive that mass extinction.

But now, everyone on the Goblet Worm was in a frenzy.

They discovered new species.

Just a fortnight ago, nearby monitoring stations got readings that indicated anomalous infrasound waves were being received.

During the inspection, they accidentally discovered a cephalopod.

It was a huge creature that was nearly one meter long, with fluff-like structures growing on the surface of its arms and legs. It was actually a kind of filter-feeding squid.

It's just a pity that the Scientific Research Knights didn't carry the tools to capture creatures of this size.During the capture process, the squid died unfortunately.

That made the trip a little less glamorous, but it didn't hurt too much.

Everyone can see that this filter-feeding squid is still very young.

Perhaps the squid was attracted by the light from the monitoring station's indicator light.

Alternatively, metal-based organisms use the properties of electric field energy to make it actively approach places with electromagnetic waves.

These are all to be studied.

Next, the scientific research knight will probably show the momentum of "finding a needle in a haystack" and look for this filter-feeding squid community in the entire eastern Pacific Ocean.

Along the way, the scientific research knights talked and laughed, and even the apprentices were infected and enthusiastic.

Apprentice Ge Fu looked at the original plan, still a little strange.He was probably the only person on the entire ship who cared about the original mission: "Strange..."

"Yo, boy, what's the matter?" The third senior brother patted him on the shoulder: "If you are depressed at this time, you will look very out of group."

"But...infrasound waves..." Ge Fu pondered for a moment: "I am very interested in ancient creatures. According to the data, squid are creatures that rely on vision and touch... They can feel the mechanical waves in the sea water, but it is almost impossible to detect them. Infrasound..."

The third senior brother knocked on Ge Fu angrily: "Maybe it's the false alarm caused by the squid touching the sensor?"

Ge Fu scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

At this moment, a roar spread throughout the submarine cabin: "This is impossible...God! This is simply a work of genius!"

Several people immediately rushed to the laboratory where the senior brother was.Ge Fu originally wanted to go over to have a look, but because of his status, he didn't dare to offend the brothers and sisters, so he could only wait in the corridor.

And in the laboratory where the senior brother is located, several formal knights of the knight order have already entered.

All scientific knights were shocked.

I saw that the squid's ten arms and legs had been cut open, exposing the weird chip buried in the root of the arms and legs.A few pieces were just cut open, exposing half.Two pieces were completely dug out, with composite wires running all the way into the squid's tiny brain.

The elder brother turned around slowly, and said in a low voice: "This is a wonderful idea... In order to obtain the speed of nerve transmission, cephalopods increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the nerves to reduce the resistance. Their nerves are too Thick, so limit the complexity of the nervous system. But after metallization, the role of metal-based protein deposition, which greatly exceeds the role of myelin...plus artificial assistance...oh my god...'personality' It has been proven in itself that it can be translated into an extremely small amount of data ... oh my god!"

He was very excited: "This is amazing!"

While speaking, the big brother pulled out a burr from the arm of the filter-feeding squid: "Is this a product of genetic modification? Or a symbiotic organism? The test just now showed that this burr is not the same as the squid's own genes... Carefully At first glance, this is a thorn from the inside of the sucker... Is this a symbiotic creature similar to a coral polyp? It lives in the sucker of the squid and uses its own secretions to create bone spurs, so that the squid can obtain the ability to filter feed... ...God! This is a biochemical prosthesis!"

He turned around and opened his arms: "This is a huge discovery! Anyone who can do such a thing must be a genius! This is an independent intelligent race! An intelligent race completely made by humans!"

The second senior brother and the third senior brother looked at each other in dismay: "Senior brother, you mean...well, this...is man-made?"

"It's probably a product of the Knights of Scientific Research." The elder brother's face glowed red with excitement: "However, I haven't seen any relevant records... There are no related papers... Oh my god, this must be from a certain great knight." The layout...maybe even belonged to the knight commander...let's go back immediately and start a project in a similar direction..."

"It's developed!"
