散装生态生物4与目前合集
绿洲的巨月带来7日一涨落的潮汐,可以延伸至潮汐最低点300km以内的内陆,水深3~6m。内陆是广袤而干旱拥有大面积沙漠,最早的物种只能生存在潮汐滩涂,但是又面临周期性的潮汐洪流,被迫入水又着陆的生物,在潮汐滩涂演化出了并不完美的两栖特征。每个物种都有不完美的地方,这是它们的曾经,也指引着它们的未来。有的陷入性选择的迷途,有的一直在试图弥补曾经的缺陷;用胳膊跑步的生物,用后腿飞行的物种,巨大的帆,被困在滩涂的巨兽…它们不完美,它们只是被潮汐推到了适合自己生存的地方。它们都被困在自己的“滩涂绿洲”,就像这个星球的潮汐,混乱中寻找秩序。
Introduce of original worldbuilding-Project Oasis
The planet Oasis is a lifeless world near the habitable zone, with massive red satellite which causes oceanic tides periodically submerge parts of the land. After the Project Oasis introduced ideal ancestral species from earth and let them evolve naturally on the planet, the power of life itself transformed this barren world into a green paradise. Though Oasis species shares the same foundation with those on Earth, they remains similar yet distinct.
The two moon of Oasis——one is bigger, one is smaller——create tides that rise and fall every 7.5 earth days, extending up to 300 km inland from the lowest tide point, with a tidal height of 3 meters. The gravity of the moons slows the planet's rotation, leading it takes 15 Earth days for one rotation. With 2% carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the temperature difference between day and night on land remains within a range of 40 degrees Celsius.
Since the inland is vast and arid, having abundant areas of desert, the earliest species could only survive in mudflats. Being forced to face periodic tidal floods and extreme convective rainstorms, repeatedly enter the water and go ashore, those creatures evolved imperfect amphibious traits in the tidal flats. Every species has imperfections——this is their past, also guide them to the future. The Oasis creatures, some of them lost the way in sexual selection, some kept working on making up for the shortcomings of the past; the creature running with forelimbs, species that fly with their hind legs, enormous sails, giants stuck in mudflats. they are not perfect, they are just pushed by the tides to inches where they can survive. They all confined in their own "tidal oasis", alike the planet's tides, finding order amid chaos.
