Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 734 Booker

Compared to the attention of the Booker class, the guide group of the dynamic picture civilization did not even look at them, but just introduced the things about the Booker class to humans and the Orange Star civilization.

Therefore, the human expedition team got the information about the Booker class for the first time.

Shi Lifen controlled the tactical armor to walk while looking at the information sent by the dynamic picture civilization. From the introduction of the information, it can be learned that the Booker class is the only native intelligent life on this planet. According to the research of the dynamic picture civilization, they have been born with wisdom for about 10 million years.

That is to say, it took the Booker class a full 10 million years from consciously learning to use tools and making tools to today's electrified society. Of course, this is only a rough estimate. After all, the dynamic picture civilization does not have the ability to go back in time. They just combine the historical data of the Booker class and their own archaeological findings to make inferences.

From this point of view, the archaeological technology of the interstellar era is also a craft and has not become obsolete. Archaeology can not only be used on low-level civilizations, but also learn the evolutionary history of organisms on the planet when discovering life planets, and can also be used when discovering other civilization relics.

From the appearance, the Booker species, like most animals on this planet, has six legs, but walks on four legs. The front two legs have evolved into a grasping hand structure, but unlike human hands, they do not have a thumb-opposing structure, but hold things by curling and have three fingers.

From the bone structure and the historical evolution of the hand, their hands have a tendency to evolve into an antagonistic structure, but it seems to be in the process stage now.

As for the four legs, it is more amazing. Their evolutionary process is completely different from that of the hands. Even Shi Lifen, who is reading their evolutionary data, has some doubts about whether the hands and feet of the Booker species are owned by the same race, because their legs are actually hoof structures.

According to the classification of animals in the Earth era, this type of hoof structure belongs to the Perissodactyl order, but it is not a single-petal toe like a horse hoof, but a three-petal toe, just like their hands, but it has no grasping power at all and can only provide support for the body, similar to the function of a cow's hoof.

There is a tail connected to the spine behind them, and the whole body is covered with blue hair, and the genitals are located at the back. From the overall structure, the lower body is somewhat similar to a deer, while the upper body connected by two hands is slightly bent upwards behind the front legs, but not long, with two hands on both sides. Overall, it looks a bit like the animal people imagine - the Centaur.

However, they are not exactly the same. First of all, their upper body is not similar to that of a human, and they are not as tall as the Centaur in people's imagination. Their heads are not similar to that of a human, but they have a long cheek. The horse face is very appropriate for them. The lengths of their front and back legs are also different. The front legs are high and the back legs are low. The back is tilted downward at 10 degrees. This structure is not conducive to riding or running. It is estimated that they can survive in nature because they have evolved wisdom. Otherwise, they would have been extinct on this planet full of beasts.

Their eyes are located on both sides of the head.

Seeing this eye layout, Shi Lifen, a biological expert, immediately thought that this creature belongs to the herbivorous class. Sure enough, it is clearly written in the information introduction that the Booker class evolved from a herbivorous creature, and it is a pure vegetarian.

Many plant leaves and roots on this planet are in their diet, and they occasionally eat some gravel, especially pregnant bookies who are most eager to eat gravel. They eat stones for two reasons, one is to help the stomach digest plants, and the other is to absorb a lot of calcium in the stone to prepare for laying eggs.

Their physiology is somewhat similar to the egg-laying birds on Earth, but they do not lay eggs at regular intervals like birds. They only lay eggs when fertilized.

They are not mammals in the classification of plants and animals by humans.

Naturally, they have no lactation organs, and both males and females have blue hair. From the appearance, it is impossible to distinguish between males and females. It is difficult to distinguish between males and females, at least from the perspective of humans.

Regarding this point, Shi Lifen, who has seen many aliens, no longer finds it strange. After all, the Nair people were like this at the beginning, and it is impossible to tell males and females from the appearance.

Bookies are very large, and each one looks like an elephant. No wonder they need such a large means of transportation.

Of course, the size of elephants like the Booker class is not considered large on this planet, it can only be considered lower than medium, and there are many large wild animals in the wild.

As for a creature photographed by a human research ship before, their body length has reached 20 meters, height 13 or 14 meters, and their weight has not been specifically calculated, but it is at least more than 20 tons, a true giant creature.

When humans first saw this animal, they felt like they were back in the Jurassic movie. Because there are more than one kind of tall animals, and there are also many animals smaller than this kind of animals. Judging from the size data alone, the Booker class belongs to the middle and lower levels of the food chain.

This is indeed the case. From the information sent by the dynamic picture civilization, it can be seen that the Booker class was the food of other beasts in ancient times until they learned to use their brains, make tools, and use tools.

It can be said that this is a planet in the age of giant beasts, or it can be said that this planet is in the age of giant beasts, but intelligent life did appear in the age of giant beasts.

Of course, this is just what Shi Lifen believes based on the history of biological evolution on Earth. In fact, the evolutionary process of each race on each life planet in the universe is different. For Earth, there is the Age of Behemoths, but for other planets, there is no such thing, because the Age of Behemoths is their modern times.

For the creatures on this planet, humans are very small, and the individual lives of the dynamic picture civilization (Gurgi civilization) are even smaller. Without the power of technology, humans and Gurgi people can be said to be completely vulnerable in front of the Booker class.

However, the reality is that the Booker class is ruled by aliens who are dozens of times smaller than them. They are kept as animals by the creatures that they once thought were like insects, and they are sold to aliens as goods at will.

As the only intelligent creatures on this planet, the Booker class is not inferior to the alien civilization in size or wisdom. They just lose in luck and development time.

If they are given a few hundred years, they can develop nuclear fusion technology and then go to the starry sky, at least they will not be wiped out like they are now. And after developing into a first-level civilization, even if they encounter the dynamic picture civilization, their fate may not be like this.

Unfortunately, the Booker class has bad luck. Before their civilization has enough time to ferment, the road to progress has been cut off and they have become commodities of other civilizations.
