Chapter 428 There is a big rabbit on the big moon, right?

Xu Xingchen and many ship girls all look forward to the existence of "magic" because magic is "new energy" and can also expand the knowable worldview.

However, after less than a week of observation, we have repeatedly confirmed that there is no thing on the Great Moon that can be called magic.

Those things that look like legendary dragons are actually really a flying lizard similar to pterosaurs.

Xu Xingchen does not want other intelligent creatures to exist, because it is very troublesome to deal with.

But things went against my wishes. After a few days of putting in a large number of observation equipment, the sisters of the North Star made a discovery-

Xu Xingchen sat in a complicated mood in front of a set of scientific research equipment and carefully checked the information compiled by the Polaris sisters.

The direct video sent back by the equipment sent by Neptune, coupled with the data obtained from direct detection and the conclusions drawn from analysis, was simply sorted into something similar to a documentary.

In the northern hemisphere of the Great Moon, in the warm and humid jungle, a small animal similar to a mammal lives.

Of course, this small size is for those big guys who are similar to dinosaurs, and for the biosphere of the big moon.

Compared with most animals on Earth, they are no longer too small. Most of them weigh more than 30 kilograms, which is almost ten years old.

Their appearance is between a mouse and a rabbit, and they can be said to be big rabbits or big rats.

Xu Xingchen felt a little relieved when he saw the beginning of the video, a group of "big rabbits" marked specifically.

Fortunately, it is not deep-sea monsters like starfish or big squid, nor are they those insects that make people scalp numb and cause terror.

Rats and rabbits, except for various monkeys, orangutans, baboons, and animals with closest relationships with humans, all belong to the order of Primates.

The number of genes in humans and mice is roughly the same, and 80% can be considered basically the same, including genetic material.

Therefore, in biological experiments, we are always used to using mice and rabbits. They are very similar to humans in terms of genes. The key is that the price is cheap and the quantity is large, so all kinds of monkeys are very expensive...

In fact, the image of mice is the image of the most primitive mammals. Early mammals were basically a group of "mouses".

Is it completely reasonable and legal to have a "big rabbit" on the "big moon"?

Xu Xingchen comforted himself in his heart, and then continued to read the video instructions carefully.

The current biological environment on the Great Moon is similar to the Jurassic to Cretaceous periods on Earth.

Large reptiles similar to dinosaurs dominate the land, while large lizards with wings are the overlord of the sky.

The living conditions of these big rabbits are like the rats on Earth, under the feet of the dragon, at the bottom of the forest, in grass and caves.

However, unlike the mouse predecessors on Earth, they seem to have a tendency to wisdom too early.

The detectors launched by Neptune, which specializes in photographing and collecting samples of low-rise ecological environments in forests, were the first to discover their figures.

Three big rabbits crawled among dead branches and leaves, as if looking for something to eat.

After a while, I stopped and plucked the ground. Sometimes I found small bugs, and sometimes I dug out some grass roots or plant seeds.

There is no abnormality here, they are just mice looking for food in the woods.

Then they came to the detector.

The detector is made of round metal material. Although it is concealed by the color, it also falls into the thick dead leaves, and most of it is covered by dead branches and leaves.

But they were soon discovered by these big rabbits.

If it is an ordinary animal, you can probably smell it and take a few bites at most. If you are sure that you can't eat it, you will leave.

But these three big rabbits circled around the detector for a few times, smelled it, bited it, and even knocked it.

Another one tried to buckle the shell of this thing, and the other one dug down the detector, finding the detector's legs, as if turning the detector over.

But it was not strong enough to turn this thing that was about the same size as its own.

So it crawled out and whispered a few times with the other two big rabbits. Then the three big rabbits still acted together and lifted the detector together.

Finally, the three big rabbits pushed the circular detector together and rolled in the direction they came back.

The footage captured by the detector just turned around and rolled all the way to their nests, a huge cave under a giant tree.

There were fifteen big rabbits in the cave. They circled around the detector, biting, slapping, and communicating with each other. They were very excited and made a fuss for a long time.

The detector is obviously very strong, and it will make sounds when hitting with stones. It must be very special to the big rabbits.

So in the end, the detectors were placed flat inside their caves, in the middle of a lobby-like area, which was obviously regarded as a special decoration.

The detector can therefore be very intuitive to capture a large number of living habits of big rabbits.

Most of the time of the video is mainly the pictures in these nests, and all the suspected high-intelligence existences are specially cut out to illustrate.

When the video was at the end, Sirius, who was standing beside Xu Xingchen, reported to Xu Xingchen as if summarizing:

"Commander, these creatures can already use and make simple tools, mainly stones of various shapes, to cut objects.

"They rely mainly on small insects, tree roots, plant seeds, and dead animal carcasses as their main food sources.

"Their living conditions may be similar to those between the capable and Homo erectus two million years ago. They can already use stones but they can't use fire.

"Although there are fewer stone tools, this is obviously related to their living environment. It is very difficult to find stones in this lush forest."

Xu Xingchen listened to Sirius' explanation and asked with no certainty:

"Equivalent to humans two million years ago? That is to say, these big rabbits take two million years to enter the civilized world?"

Sirius shook his head and said:

"No, it's not like this. The environment of the earth and the big moon is completely different. The future development trajectory of these big rabbits is definitely completely different from that of humans on Earth.

"The most basic thing is that ancient apes were originally animals living on trees. They had to live on the ground because of the decrease in forests. They learned to walk upright in order to look on the grassland.

"The forest here is extremely dense. These big rabbits live on the ground, and the main food is on the ground, so they don't need to stand up on their own initiative.

"At the same time, when Homo erected, the only enemies of humans on earth were left with top predators such as Sabre-toothed tigers, and various large animals could be hunted with tools.

"But these big rabbits on the big moon are surrounded by animals that can easily eat them. There are no need for those big lizards outside, and the big birds in the jungle.

"So what will they become in the future? Will they develop their own civilization faster than humans or will never even become extinct directly? It is unknown now.

"Finally, we believe that they are also intelligent, and are still concluded based on external observations. We do not know the degree of evolution of the brain such as brain capacity and structure.
