I never expected that chasing a drama was forced to popularize science! In the recent hit "Yunnan Bug Valley", Hu Bayi, Fat Zi and Shirley Yang "Iron Triangle" followed the water bee and piranha, and then encountered Huo's undead insects and warts.
The Huo's undead insect in the play is huge, like wearing King Kong armor, and the bullets can't penetrate. The head has an eye, and instead of the common row of beast fangs in the mouth, there is a circular circle of fangs in the mouth, which is accompanied by red mist, which is terrifying and eerie.
After Shirley Yang's popular science, this monster is called the dragonfly (yù láng) long worm, also known as the Huo's undead worm, originated in the Cambrian period, and has been extinct due to the jumping of atmospheric oxygen content. The survival of this undead insect may be related to its living in a gourd cave, or it may have adapted to the oxygen content of the current society.
The reason why this insect is called Huo's undead insect is because as long as there is a part of the neural network, it can survive, and it is difficult to kill it.
The biological image in the novel is fictional, but in ancient times it was a real creature, and its name is called the dragonfly long worm, also known as the Huo's undead insect. The name "Slug Long Worm" was named in honor of the British biologist who discovered its fossils, and this creature also appeared in the Cambrian Period, just like the popular science in the play.
The cambrian period is best known for the explosion of life, when a large number of invertebrates suddenly appeared during this period. The Hodget is a creature that lies between the invertebrate and semi-vertebral vertebrae, with reticular nerves.
Huo's immortal insect's life force is very tenacious, and there are almost no natural enemies in nature, because if you want to kill it, unless you eat it whole and digest it with gastric juice, as long as there is a part of the neural network left, it can still survive.
The Huo's undead worm appeared in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, relying on its strong vitality to escape several mass extinctions, through the Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, and finally extinct in the Triassic.
From the Carboniferous period to the Permian period, the earth's oxygen content soared, this period can be said to be the world of giant insects, not only insects, plants are also huge, this period seems to be an enlarged world. The size of the Huo's undead worm may also have become huge during this period.
The Undead Worm has a hard shell similar to that of the "Sun Goddess Snail", and the hard shell is formed by its endocrine. The huge size, coupled with such a hard shell, as long as a part of the neural network is left, it is no wonder that such creatures have no natural enemies in nature.
The sun goddess snail also has a hard protective shell, it appeared in the Early Cambrian, extinct in the Ordovician, invertebrates, people have not studied it much, but it is considered to be one of the first molluscs to evolve a hard shell.
Like the Huo's Undead Worm, the Sun Goddess Snail also has the ability to be "undead", it has no nerve center, even if the body is damaged, as long as there is still a part of the neural network alive, it can survive.
In addition, the sun goddess snail is still hermaphrodite, it does not need to mate, it can produce new life, and new life will replace the old life and continue to live in the shell.
The extinction of the sun goddess snail may be related to their breeding method, their breeding method is doomed to the scarcity of the population, and later after the mass extinction of organisms, the environment may not be suitable for the survival of the sun goddess snail, thus going extinct.
The extinction of the Hodge's undead was the same as that of the huge insects of the time, because it did not adapt to the earth's oxygen jumping changes.
In ancient times, what amazing creatures appeared on the earth?
