4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 20 Evolution!
The current was still ruthlessly sweeping across the entire rock, this time much more violent than last time.
Here all the large and small cells were washed away by it and disappeared into the dark blue in the distance, but Lin's huge tentacles still stood in the center of the rock.
Each impact of the water flow can bend the giant tentacles, tearing a large number of cells inside.
But Lin had no intention of retreating, and every time it relied on the constant repair and splitting to prop up the entire tentacle, facing the next wave of water again.
Lin understands that its cells will evolve at high speed in the face of adversity, and after each injury, they will become stronger!
Non-stop repairs are also extremely food-consuming, so Lynn connects all the fat cells to her tentacles, which can transfer energy to them as quickly as possible.
As for other idle cells, they go to and from the caves below to deliver new food to the fat cells.
The water is still sweeping through the rocks, and the interval is getting shorter and shorter. Before long, the next wave of water strikes again, and Lynn ’s tentacles are washed away again, but this time the amplitude is smaller than the previous few times. many.
The number of muscle cell breaks is significantly less. Most of their bodies have become more flexible in these short waves of water than before and can withstand greater pulling force.
Evolution showed, and Lin was delighted.
The water flow didn't make Lin more happy, and the impact came again and again, and the time after wave became shorter and shorter.
However, Lin didn't fall down, it could repair the tentacles faster every time.
Until the end, the water flow even became continuous, and there was no gap between their impacts, but at this time, Lin did not need to repair it.
The tenacity of its tentacles, even in such rapids, is not damaged at all.
Lin succeeded, and Lin took another big step in her evolution.
Are you happy?Yeah, Lin found out that it had more new words.
In this way, Lin's threat is one less. Now, the only remaining threat in Lin's memory is the ice that suddenly spread to the frozen water.
Lin believes that it will face that kind of extreme cold fear again and defeat it with it!
The water flow continued for a period of time, and began to slowly slow down, and then slowly stabilized, the entire water area returned to calm again.
Lin opened the opening at the top of the tentacles, a large number of cells swam out, and Lin began to completely control this area.
Thanks to the water flowing away all the cells on the rock, Lin didn't even have the need to fight, and could easily capture 100% of the rock area.
Lin began to plan to build more tentacles on the rock so that it could more easily control the entire rock.
The tentacles can not only be used to prevent water flow, but also be used for hunting. As long as other cells are sucked in and then dissolved in lysate, how easy and convenient, Lin also intends to put those acupuncture cells on the outer skin of the tentacles to let them grow It became a scary tentacle covered with deadly spikes.
……wrong.
Lin suddenly thought of a better way.
Ok……
Yes, it is much more useful to directly surround the whole rock than to make a lot of tentacles on the rock, and there is more space for Lynn ’s cells to swim in.
Just think about it.
Lin let a large number of basic cells swim to the edge of the rock and began to layer and layer together around the edge. After being combined, Lin let them begin to evolve into the same skin as the tentacles and become flexible, which can ensure hardness. , And can ensure that they can carry out activities.
However, it seems that this flat and wide structure is useless to move and cannot perform various actions like tentacles.
For the time being, Lin feels that it is always good to be active.
As for the base, it is composed of a large number of fat cells, used to grasp the rock below.
Lin also found an interesting point, that although the cells can't dig the rock, if some cells are drilled into the cracks of the rock and split continuously, it is possible to squeeze the rock.
In this way, they can also make them more stable on the rocks.
When Lin's observer observed the cell combination, it also began to pay attention to the edge of the rock.
The edge of the rock is very smooth, but there are many cracks or protrusions on it, which will allow Lynn's cells to stabilize them and form a 'wall'.
If you look down from the edge, you can only see the rocky cliffs that lead all the way to the deep water. Lin can't see what's below. Lin may go down to explore sometime, but not now.
The next step is to grow while eating ...
The number of Lynn ’s cells surged. They quickly engulfed all the white paste on the rock. Lin ’s wall of cells surrounding the entire rock quickly formed. During this period, Lin did not encounter water flow and did not encounter any strong cell communities Coming to harass, there are only a few small cells that appear occasionally, and they all become Lin's food without exception.
It is worth mentioning that the light bacteria in those caves are not afraid of Lin ’s cells and start to mix in Lin ’s cell group to eat, but Lin will drive them away. In this period of urgent need for food, Lin will only let them The community needs food, so if you want to eat more to split, then do n’t think about it.
The cells are slowly growing like this ... The shaping of the wall is finally completed after a few nights have passed.
Lin also felt that one layer of cells was not thick enough, so she added several more layers, so it took longer.
The cells formed a huge semi-circular cover around the entire rock, covering the entire rock surface, with a large hole in the middle for Lin's tentacles to extend.
Lin also opened many small holes that can be closed on the surface for the cells to enter and exit. In addition, there are many such holes in the multi-layer structure, so that the cells can be quickly put in to repair the damage.
However, it can also be repaired by dividing directly the cells around the damaged part.
With such a safe protection, Lin no longer needs to be afraid of water flow, but the construction of such a huge protective cover uses huge amounts of cells, and maintaining them requires huge amounts of food.
So Lin generally keeps them immobile, and Lin finds that as long as the cells are not moving, they hardly need any food.
But in spite of this, the white paste in the cave with the outer layer of rock can maintain the entire community, and there are some more, but it is not enough for Lin to continue to expand the community.
Lin has designed a new scheme, which can stop some cells from life activities, and then let other cells decompose and digest it, so that you can get a lot of energy at a critical moment.
This method also acts on some cells that have lived for a long time. Their death can leave room for newly divided cells. Lin knows that a cell ’s self-evolution is far less rapid than letting it divide into a new cell.
Faster, and the longer the cell lives, the damage it receives from life activities will continue to accumulate, such as rubbing on rocks, etc., and eventually become weaker than normal cells.
But the newly divided cells can inherit all the advantages of the old cells, and are usually stronger, and will not inherit the disadvantages.
So this scheme to eliminate cells can replace some cells that are already 'old', allowing Lin to continue to evolve without increasing the number of communities and food consumption.
What is this plan called?There was a new word in Lynn's mind.
"life".
That's right, in short, it's a great solution to eliminate old cells and make room for new, more powerful and powerful cells.
If you do n’t eliminate the old ones and just keep splitting, then no matter how much food will be wasted, of course, if there is enough food, Lin will not run this 'lifetime' program.
However, Lin still wanted to increase the community. It did realize that the white paste that came out of the stone alone was not enough.
But this rock often has large and small cell communities close to it, and Lynn decides to start capturing them.
However, these cells are not easy to grasp, because they swim to the outer layer of Lin's shield and find that they can't get in and leave, and Lin doesn't know where they appear from.
But as long as it is solved, what is the attraction of these cells?
That's right, it's white paste. In this case, why doesn't Lin use white paste as a trap to trap them?
Um ... the trap?
What a nice word ...
