4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 14 The Nightmare
The destruction of the crystal fungus brought Lin endless wealth.
Lin eats and cleans their wreckage, and then occupies all the food cracks they originally occupied, and splits and grows like crazy.
Now, Lin ’s cell community is more than 30,000, each type has a considerable number, and there are relatively few shots. After all, such cells are useless except for combat.
Lin occupies 50% of the entire rock. It can be said to be the most powerful population in this area. Although there are some large communities of cells nearby, Lin does not intend to attack them first, but adjusts the current largest. The problem.
Perception.
There are only one observer of Lin from beginning to end. Of course, it is impossible for such a cell to observe the entire community. Even if he swims back and forth from a high place, a large part of Lin ’s community is in a state of unperception.
Only touch, although it is enough to eat, but when it is dangerous, it is difficult to react, especially what about viruses?
Lynne needs more feeling.
But how do you get a feeling?Lynn wanted to find out from those thorn cells that the thorn cells would be fired automatically when the enemy approached, so how did it know?Acupuncture cells have no eyes, but they can also distinguish between enemy and foe.
It is still tactile, but a very powerful tactile.
Lin only started to think about this issue after she was in the community for 30,000.
As each cell moves, it will fluctuate the surrounding water flow. This fluctuation can actually convey far and far, but it will become smaller and smaller, but there are still ways to feel it, and then come from the subtle differences.
Lin didn't know how to strengthen these perceptions, it just let two basic cells start training, one of them stayed aside, and the other swayed vigorously beside it, stimulating the current.
The immobile one must feel these waters carefully. After feeling a certain degree, the swaying one swims farther and continues to sway, and then the immobile one still tries to feel in place.
It seems a very weird method, but Lin tried it successfully. This basic cell successfully evolved a much stronger ability than the original tactile sense that needs to be touched. Finally, under Lin ’s re-strengthening experiment, their perception distance Almost like acupuncture cells.
These basic cells can still retain their ability after dividing, even when they evolve into other cells, but some types will be worse, such as diggers and cone cells. Perhaps their hardened surface affects the feeling, but The problem is not big.
In this way, Lin's community is stronger, so that Lin is no longer afraid to enter the darkness.
Lin had been exposed to darkness a few times. The feeling was the same as when she had no vision at first. Everything around her entered the endless darkness. Lin's vision was no longer useful.
In this environment, Lin's community can only gather together motionlessly. Fortunately, this darkness will only last for a while, and then the light will quickly illuminate everything.
Lin didn't understand how this phenomenon happened at first, but now she has words in her mind that describe this phenomenon ... Dark Night.
This seems to be a fixed phenomenon, the light lasts for a period of time, and then turns into the night, and the night lasts for a period of time, and the light shines on everything.
Every time in the darkness, Lin can only feel fear and helplessness, but now that Lin has a new feeling ability, she no longer has to fear the coming of night.
Lin thought that time was almost up.
The surrounding light had begun to darken, as Lin had expected, at this time the night would always come.
The light slowly dissipated from the water, and Lin's field of vision began to become narrow. Eventually, when Lin's field of vision disappeared completely, it felt that the temperature in the water also became cold.
More than 30,000 cell communities are like wandering in the void, Lin can't see them at all, but this time there is still a feeling in the mind, the cells feel the shaking of the surrounding companions, and also feel the food cracks A small stream of water, and food spouting inside.
Lin ’s fear is much smaller than when she first encountered darkness, but it must still be treated with care. Even if she has a new feeling, she cannot be careless in the darkness.
Lin's thoughts are spread over every cell. It can clearly know the feeling of all the cells. Lin is already familiar with which kind of water flow comes from the activities of cells near her, and which is not.
Among the countless feelings, Lin found a small feeling, different from her own cell feeling ... This small thing slowly approached the outermost group of cells in Lin.
Lynn doesn't know its exact size, because it hasn't carefully tested which water flow corresponds to which size, but this almost imperceptible small feeling should be quite small.
This small fluctuation did not come from an alien creature or some kind of debris. Lin chose to avoid it. It was not willing to take any risks. Lin let the cells that were approached away from the distance to avoid this small thing.
Lin has a bad hunch.
But at this moment, a stream of water just rushed over, Lin felt the feeling of the little thing disappeared, Lin felt the pain almost instantly at the same time, and then Lin clearly felt again that the little thing was sticking to the cell membrane And plan to drill inside!
This is a virus!
Lin immediately kept all surrounding cells away from the drilled cell, and let the acid injectors rush over, and only they could kill the virus.
The cell that was attacked by the virus felt the same as before. First, it caused severe pain, and then slowly began to lose control. When it was completely out of control, Lin could confirm that the cell was dead.
Before that, you must arrive!
The acid injectors swam at full speed and finally reached the site when Lin's cells were almost completely out of control. They immediately sprayed a huge amount of lysate on the infected cells.
At this time, Lin's feeling of infected cells also disappeared, probably already dead.
Seeing nothing and not feeling anything, Lin felt so uneasy for the first time. It had no idea whether those who injected acid had killed the virus.
The acid injector almost finished spraying before Lin stopped and felt carefully whether there were any virus fluctuations in the water filled with the dissolving liquid.
Lin suddenly received a strange feeling.
It wasn't the virus swimming, but the feeling that the cell that had been infected and dead came back, and Lynn could control it again.
What does it mean?
Lin no longer felt a sharp pain in this cell, as if it was nothing normal.
But Lin couldn't see it yet. I don't know what happened. Didn't this cell explode just now?
In that case, the acid solution of the acid injector may not hurt it. Lynn just wanted to wait for the cell to explode. When a large number of viruses burst out of it, the acid injector would dissolve them.
But Lynn hasn't encountered this situation, is this cell just fainted for a while?
What is halo?Apart from 'dead' and 'live', is there another special state?
Lin knew the word for the first time, but she could understand that it seemed that 'halo' could temporarily break her mind.
Lin now doesn't know what to do, and whether to let this cell live.
Lin only had to wait, until the night passed, and she used her eyesight to confirm its condition. Now only the acid bearers were guarding it.
When the light shines ...
As time passed slowly, Lin did not dare to neglect it. Hundreds of acid injectors surrounded the cell until the night completely dissipated.
The light came again, shining everything around, Lynn ’s vision worked again, and the night ’s fear completely disappeared.
Lin immediately went to observe this virus-infected but okay cell.
But after seeing it, I felt puzzled.
This cell is an ordinary basal cell. The basal cell is mainly composed of a relatively transparent outer membrane and a gray core, but the infected cell has a bright red color overall.
Other than that, there is no special feeling ...
