生殖系統改良的複製熊人「大逃亡」與演化藍圖—沙漠生物種特色的肉種子製造與排泄器官

1, #1

de 庫爾特‧施耐德 ...

Series Libro 1 - 1
在未來時代，人類的生物科技實驗室培養出了一批生殖系統改良的複製「熊人」，此為複製熊與人類生出的後代雜交種。某一天科學家們開會決議在指定日子將這一批生殖系統改良的複製「熊人」撲殺，日期到了的這一天，這些複製熊人集體「大逃亡」，他們逃往沙漠地區。本文提出沙漠地區的複製「熊人」之演化藍圖，其演化出沙漠適應生物種的沙漠特色複製熊人。演化特色為增加肉種子製造與排泄器官。由「肉種子巢」製造出「肉種子」，肉種子通過「肉種子輸管」進入「肉種子果肉成型器官」。肉種子在「肉種子果肉成型器官」成長出肉體器官發育。當肉體器官發育至短軸直徑約2cm的橢圓形球體時，此時稱呼為「肉實」。肉實會刺激「肉實排泄器官」蠕動以排泄出肉實。排泄出來的肉實是放在植物上飼養，此時稱為「肉胞」。成長好的肉胞為直徑約40公分的半球體。「肉胞」提供複製熊人於沙漠地區之自給自足肉類食品供應來源。複製熊人大約每天排泄一顆肉實 ...
