This issue describes the growth cycle of the alien creature.
Alien, English name Alien. The Alien Protozoa is a deadly biological weapon created by the Space Jockey race to destroy humans. The protoplast is stored in a cylindrical Petri dish in the form of a black liquid, commonly known as "black water". Protoplasms are very sensitive to their surroundings, and any slight environmental change can trigger protoplasm within a Petri dish, causing protoplasms to leak out. When the protozoa come into contact with a living organism, it will become infected, and it has a strong ability to grow, becoming aggressive. Blackwater, a biological weapon, will preferentially select more excellent DNA genes, causing their structure to mutate and have the form of a host. In Prometheus, the protozoite first infects worms in the dirt, turning them into snake-like creatures with strong acidity in their blood.

Crew member Haroway was not spared from drinking wine with protozoa, and Elizabeth XXOO caused the latter to carry the protozoa embryo, which was bred in the womb in the womb because Elizabeth did not have direct contact with the protozoa. The protozoa looks like an octopus, and the DNA optimization selection of the protozoan embryo allows it to carry the female gene.

Engineers are parasitic
The octopus controlled the engineer and parasitized the protoplast in the engineer's body. The Engineer's body is fused with the spacesuit, and players who have played the Far Crysis series will be familiar with it, and In Crysis players will play the role of a character wearing a nano-armored suit against aliens. Back in the movie, when the parasite breaks out of the engineer's body, Silver has the traits of genetic selection, with black, strong, and strong tough skin, coupled with the female gene, which is the birth of the alien queen familiar to the audience in "Alien 2". Engineers created the protozoite "Black Water", but BlackWater was able to complete a new evolution through parasites and genetic selection, but because of Elizabeth's female genes and the engineer's body structure, a new species was produced, the Alien.

As mentioned in the previous article, the alien was born in the 1970s. The alien creature comes from outer space, and with the current level of human cognition, it is not possible to fully understand or control this creature. The alien creature has a distorted human form, an insect-like shell, and incorporates post-industrial mechanism and sexual totem cult symbols into it. Alien is shaped into a primitive animal, for the life of the alien, only breeding and killing, they will not carry a trace of emotion, in order to adapt to production and evolve into a very strong predator, amazing bouncing power and agility speed, making it the ultimate killing machine without emotion, so the evolution of the alien will be so perfect. Aliens are innate killers, they move to hide and attack suddenly, they will use the visual blind spots of their prey to sneak attacks, and in the case of being unable to hunt alone, they also know how to attack in groups, all of which make aliens into fierce and deadly killers, which also creates an image that immerses themselves in nightmares forever.
Alien blood is highly acidic, and once humans touch this liquid, if they do not immediately take off their clothes, they can only endure the pain of being corroded very quickly. And the alien will know how to use the acidic blood of his body. In Alien 4, Alien kills his companions and uses his acidic blood to corrupt the prison and escape. Skeletal exposure is a direct visual sensation of the alien, its composition is silicide, because the bones have no thermal conductivity outside, so that they can adapt to a variety of external environmental temperatures and pressures, but do not emit heat. The alien skeleton is equivalent to wearing a set of armor, with an extremely hard siliconized shell, and the exoskeleton is not hot, which also makes the low temperature and cold air cause them extremely little damage. When hunting, the alien also needs a strong heat dissipation function due to vigorous exercise. Therefore, in order not to be suffocated by heat themselves, they transmit body heat through body fluids. Therefore, in the film, the exaggerated mouth volume of the alien is also their own ability to dissipate heat.
The amount of water in the alien mouth is really large
The alien's growth method is inspired by spider bees, but the real characteristics are the bees and the small cocoon bees, which inject eggs into the larvae of the beetle, and the small cocoon bees inject the eggs into the caterpillars, and when the larvae break out of the cocoon, the host will die.
Among the Alien race, the Alien Queen has the highest dominance. Possesses the ability to direct and manipulate other aliens. She is the largest and heaviest alien, about 4.5 meters tall, and her body structure is different from other aliens. Behind the huge head is a layer of helmet-like substance in the shape of a fan, which can effectively protect the head. A huge egg-laying apparatus will grow in the back of its body, and it will usually stay in the nest to lay eggs, and its fertility is quite amazing, and it can lay hundreds of eggs at a time. Once in danger, it will break free from the egg laying device, thus becoming the most deadly alien, and breaking free of the egg layer means that it will not be able to lay eggs for a long time.
Alien Queen
The eggs laid by the queen are present in the alien nest in large quantities, the alien eggs can be stored for a long time, most of the time in a closed state, the alien eggs have heat sensitivity, are very sensitive to the surrounding environment, once there is a creature close, it may prompt the alien eggs to begin to hatch, the top cracks, resulting in face-hugging insects.
Alien egg
Face-hugging insects are the product of alien egg hatching, somewhat like spiders with tails. The face-hugging insect is small, fast-moving, and has amazing leg strength, once it finds the host, it jumps up and pounces on the surface of its respiratory organs, and the tail wraps around the neck of the host so that he cannot breathe and opens his mouth, at which time the face-hugging insect will implant the alien embryo into the host through the mouth organ. Face-hugging worms release an anesthetic that causes the host to temporarily fall asleep. To ensure that the host does not suffocate and die, the face-hugging worm will provide oxygen to the host. At the same time, its acidic blood is difficult for outsiders to try to peel it off. Once implanted successfully, the mission of the face-hugging worm is completed, and the surface rigidity falls off the host and dies.
Face-hugging worm
The embryo implanted by the face-hugging insect in the host's body parasitizes the host's chest cavity, absorbs the host's nutrients to maintain life, and absorbs the host's DNA to modify its own adaptability, at which time the host can still survive, but the body will feel slightly uncomfortable, and breathing will sometimes be difficult. After a certain stage of growth, the embryo will leave the host, through the way of breaking the chest out of the host to cause the death of the host, the chest breaker is like a snake, only two front paws, through crawling to move, the head has the appearance of an adult alien, can use the sharp main jaw to tear the opponent. However, the alien in this state has poor combat effectiveness, and will quickly flee dangerous places and hide themselves.

Hidden breast-breakers take very little time to grow into adult aliens. And eventually grew into a qualified hunter. If a race does not have a leader, an alien will evolve to become a queen.

Regarding the growth cycle of the alien, this issue will introduce it here. In the future, I will introduce the social habits of aliens, hunting, etc. Ask for a wave of likes, collections, autumn pear paste!
