Chapter 227: The Rhythm of the Hill People

For living beings, the biological clock is an important but not important concept.

During sleep, the biological brain will inevitably fall into a dormant state - rather, the modern concept of "sleep" refers to the rhythm of the brain. In other words, strictly speaking, lower creatures that lack a nervous system and an independent brain do not have sleep.

Of course, even without a brain, living beings still have "sleep" in which their body's metabolism is reduced and its activity slowed down. Although sleep and hibernation seem almost indistinguishable, strictly speaking, they are two concepts.

The "dormancy" of the aura universe also involves the transformation of the "soul" state, which is also a complex and rigorous concept.

However, the biological clock is equivalent to a special punishment mechanism.

For advanced beings with brains, sleep is equivalent to temporarily shutting down their "brains", the "operating system" that has accumulated hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary power, leaving only a few "background running" instincts. Stop all conscious activities, put down your attitude toward predators, drop your defenses, and expose yourself to an extremely dangerous situation. In addition, sleep will also seriously slow down the efficiency of food intake by organisms - but not many creatures can continuously obtain food during sleep.

If there is one, then it would only be human beings with hanging bottles.

Think about it, one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep - a meaningless time, shouldn't this in itself be a terrible thing?

For animals, the price of sleep is so great. In contrast, its benefits should also be extremely huge.

Perhaps the first reaction of many people is "Nonsense, a mortal will die if he doesn't sleep for a few days." But think about it carefully, where is the "cause and effect" of this kind of evolution?

Is it an established fact that "if you don't sleep, you will die", so living beings have acquired the ability to "sleep", or are living beings discovering the benefits of "sleep" first, and therefore evolving the ability to "sleep"... No, to be precise, it is Lost the ability to "not sleep"?

The order of this evolution is critical.

From a logical point of view, the latter is definitely more reasonable.

Just like whales and other marine mammals. Their ancestors returned to the ocean after mass extinctions and the marine ecological niche was vacated, and then lost the ability to survive on land because they discovered that it was easier to obtain food in the ocean.

However, the former is not impossible. Perhaps our planet has really gone astray in its evolution, and the structure of its nervous system has huge congenital defects, so it has to bear the "punishment" of at least one-third of the time every day?

But on the other hand... why does this kind of behavior have to be concentrated within a fixed period of time?

Why can't it be done in a decentralized manner and the risks spread out?

Are "rhythm" and "sleep" really necessarily related?

Anyway, it’s all in the research.

But at least in China, "rhythm" [biological clock] is a very common phenomenon. The eating and sleeping of higher animals, and the dormancy and division of lower organisms are all included. But so far, Tianlingling has not dared to vouch for the fact that there are no creatures in China that are "born without a rhythmic system."

——And this thing seems to be really unimportant. Let's put it this way, the "reproduction" of most species is included in the rhythm system, which is the so-called "estrus", but the human race does not have this thing at all, so it is just fine, right?

Perhaps the Dragon Clan knows the answer to this question and can customize its own rhythm system. However, they have always adhered to secrecy and would never speak out on this matter.

All in all, the rhythm system of living things is itself a project worth studying.

Generally speaking, the rhythmic system of a species is mostly related to the planet it is on, the star to which the planet belongs, and the satellites attached to the planet.

Many researchers believe that the rhythm system is mostly related to the movement of celestial bodies. Most importantly, the movement of celestial bodies determines the climate of a planet. The changing seasons, monsoon ocean currents, ebb and flow, are all related to it.

However, this is not reflected on this B-6 green star.

Because of the Gang Qi layer, the light from the outside will hardly affect the inside of the Bingliu Green Star Gang Qi layer. Moreover, Bingliu Green Star does not have satellites, so it is also impossible to create any "ebb and flow" scene.

From Wang Qi's perspective, it is actually reasonable to conclude that these creatures do not have a rhythmic system.

Due to the Gang Qi layer, it is almost inevitable that the creatures on this planet do not have a rhythm system based on "days and years". Without satellites, it would be impossible to create a rhythm with the "month" as the scale.

If we really want to talk about it, the influence of external celestial bodies on Green Star is indeed inextricable.

That's the star's gravity.

It's not that there is no Gang Qi layer that can cut off gravity, but that Gang Qi layer must be a powerful force that can cause distortion of space and time on a celestial scale, and this kind of attributeless whiteboard Gang Qi layer that any monk in the integration stage can tear into pieces. There is a world of difference.

Therefore, the creatures on this planet can still feel the changes in the star's gravity.

This force is weaker than the force that causes the tide to rise and fall in China - it is the result of the combined effect of the gravity of the star and the gravity of the satellite.

But will your weight fluctuate in kilograms between the next day and the next day?

nonexistent.

Otherwise, all the girls on the street would go for physical examinations on the same day.

If we take the Earth as an example, on the surface of the Earth, every kilogram of matter is subject to a downward gravitational force of 9.8 Newtons, while at the perigee, every kilogram of surface objects is subject to only 0.00003 Newtons of lunar gravity.

Negligible.

It is unrealistic to expect this change to form a rhythmic system - unless the star at the core of this Great Sun Territory is replaced by a neutron star with a larger mass.

However, Wang Qi guessed wrong this time. Even though his report was rarely recognized by the technical support of Tianlingling, he was hopelessly wrong.

The hill people, whom he called "Pula", actually have a rhythmic system. Similarly, they also have a calendar.

A sleep is called "a sleep" or "a sleep", and the time from this sleep to the next sleep is "a wake".

A "wake-sleep cycle" or "wake-sleep cycle" is equivalent to the concept of "day and night" for the people of Yuanlongxing.

However, this concept does not have a penny to do with the rotation period of this planet.

Twelve awake and asleep cycles equal "one birth" - this is the time from the fertilization of the egg to the hatching of the egg of the hill people.

Nine births equal "one generation", which is the interval from this reproductive period to the next reproductive period of the hill people.

By the way, the length of "one generation" has nothing to do with the planetary revolution period of Bingliu Green Star.

And nine generations equal "a generation", which is about the time period from the hatching of the egg to the maturity of the hill people.

It is equivalent to the early puberty of humans - if this time ratio is applied to humans, it is equivalent to "growing to twelve years old". [Note that it is "ratio" rather than "absolute duration\
