Technology Bigshot Chapter 528: ：Maternal radiance]

These creatures will live in the "habitable zone" of Mars for a period of time. When the periodic mating and activity **** ends, the males and females will be separated from each other, and the male creatures will leave the "habitable zone" and follow the cave. Migrate upwards, while females stay in the "habitable zone" forever.

Although these last Martian creatures are cruel and ferocious, they will not hesitate to eat their own kind if they have the opportunity to gain a more advantageous living space, but they also exude the most worthy of praise and the most beautiful life. maternal brilliance.

The first desperate battle between males for the right to mate. Only the truly strong will survive and have everything in the end. During this process, the weak will die one by one. Their corpses are on this planet. The best food, on a barren Mars, the perfect meal.

After the first mortal battle, the male creatures will start a second war for the ownership of these corpses. It is another result of a winner taking all the loser. are the real powerhouses.

The female creature completes the mating and is pregnant with the next generation. The new generation inherits the genes of the stronger parent, because the weaker has no right to mate at all. Pregnant females will live in the "habitable zone" for about one earth month. During this time, the "husband" obtains a large number of male corpses of the same kind to satisfy their energy needs for food to maintain body functions.

But at this time, there is too much "food", but it can't be eaten at all, resulting in excess food, and the pregnant female has no time, because the baby in her arms will grow day by day, and the pregnant female will return to the bottom of the water. , to make the ultimate sacrifice for the next generation to complete a new life.

Like the giant octopus in the North Pacific on Earth, they are also the mothers on Mars who have sacrificed the most to raise their children. Once conceived, they can lay about 20 to 30 eggs. Every pregnant female creature will find a place to live in the bottom of the water to build a nest. The "habitable zone" of Mars, the deeper it goes into the core of Mars, the higher the temperature, and the temperature of the bottom of the water is higher, it is a natural habitat. area, the pregnant female will choose the best area to settle her life, and new life will be born in this area.

The liquid water in the "habitable zone" of Mars has very little oxygen, but it is still oxygen-free water. It is in a volcano, and the water contains a large amount of silicates and other various substances. But these are not the biggest threats to small life, the real threat is the oxygen-tolerant anaerobic microorganisms in the water.

However, their mother has a way. The mother will secrete an acid corrosive solution that is deadly to non-similar creatures. This liquid not only has the ability to accelerate the reaction rate of oxygen production, but also becomes the patron saint of small life at the beginning of the birth.

The first four months of the new life's growth process have no resistance. Any external factors can cause them to die. This is the ultimate sacrifice of the mother. In order for the new life to grow healthily, it must not leave the nest. Regular releases of acidic caustic solution provide a protective umbrella for the little life, and the inability to leave the nest means that the mother has no access to a food source, and must secrete the acidic caustic solution to protect the eggs. Therefore, it is no surprise that the mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, and the acid corrosion secreted is less and less. Fortunately, as time goes on, the little life is thriving and the resistance to the outside is increasing.

During this process, the mother will die of starvation because there is no source of food and hibernation to reduce the consumption of bodily functions, but its mission is not over yet, and there is one last dedication.

After its baby hatches, the mother's corpse is the only source of food for the little life, otherwise the fragile young life can't survive at all. The huge female corpse will not be decomposed in a short period of time, and there is no microorganism. Acid corrosion plays the best preservation function here. The female corpse can supply twenty or thirty new lives for nearly 60 Earth days and complete the initial growth.

The new life has completed the initial growth, and has enough ability to leave the hotbed of the deep water area. After arriving at the port on the water surface, there are a large number of male corpses scattered here, the former losers, the anaerobic environment and the once secreted Acid corrosion protects the corpse from being eaten by microbes. The new life has obtained a second source of food at the port, and can use the last "legacy" of the ancestors to complete the second growth and development.

Three months later, the corpses at the port were almost completely consumed by them, and the original new life had grown. The sudden loss of food made them feel hungry for the first time, and they were used to eating similar corpses, so they put With their eyes set on their living kind, even siblings, they see the moving kind as if they saw the delicacy of the world, and will definitely act on it.

So, after they come to this world, they will start the first desperate struggle in their lives. In order to survive, during this period, some of the weak are eliminated and become the food of the strong. The survivors are all The strong, no one can kill anyone, and the final result of fighting for a long time is to lose both.

But survival must continue. In order to avoid dying of starvation in the future, they have to find new ways to survive. One by one, they left the "livable zone" and followed the path of their ancestors. Get out of here and head towards the colder areas above.

Finding a safe and undisturbed place, they curl up into a spherical shape and use acidic caustic solutions to etch a groove in the rock wall or elsewhere to prevent them from falling during dormancy. Thus began a long dormancy, the rate of metabolism is getting lower and lower. They are gradually transformed into aerobic anaerobic organisms, which means that they no longer need to expend enormous energy to produce the oxygen their bodies need, during which they no longer use oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

Over time, the surface layer of their body begins to ferment, eventually encasing the entire body. The next time they wake up, they will eat all the fermented products from the inside out to obtain energy supplements. After replenishing their hungry bodies, they will be able to return to the "livable zone". The ones who eat the most will have a good advantage. In the "livable zone", there will be a greater advantage to beat competitors, and everything from gaining the right to mate and the loser becomes the biggest winner in life.

In this way, this species has continued on Mars for hundreds of millions of years. After the great change of this planet, species went extinct one by one. Only this species has survived and has become the last survivor, from the surface of Mars. Migrate to the Martian subsurface.
