4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 31 Internal
In Lin's field of vision, bright red particles are everywhere, and they are mixed with blue debris to form a unique landscape.
This is what Lin ’s troops left behind in the Buckler worm. Everything here has become floating fragments. The blue cells that make up the esophagus, pipes, or other organs in the Buckler worm were invaded by the virus, and then from The core to the outer membrane are completely destroyed by the virus, because the immune cells are blocked by Lynn, resulting in unlimited growth of the virus. It is estimated that only a pile of cellular debris is left in the body of the Shield Worm.
Lin ’s remaining troops slowly swimed in the environment where cells and viruses corpses floated. Almost each of them was stained bright red by the virus. Looking at the miserable situation here, many of Lin ’s thoughts appeared idea.
Fear, restlessness, doubt, but no joy of victory.
What exactly is a virus?
According to the knowledge she knows now, the virus is a weird creature. It does not divide itself and does not eat. It just drifts with the water. If it touches the cell, it will drill into its outer membrane and use this cell for itself. Divide and multiply, then destroy the entire cell.
Then just like that, make more viruses and infect more cells ...
Is their purpose to kill all cells?Viruses do not limit themselves, they only increase the number endlessly, and then destroy everything.
When all the killable cells are killed, they will also die due to lack of food. Only a few viruses can survive, and then follow the water to travel farther to infect other cells.
The same is true of these bright red viruses, which are killing the snails of the snails, and this has caused most viruses to find no cell infection. As long as they have not infected the cells for a period of time, they will die.
Kill everything that can be killed and wait for death. Is this a so-called virus?What is the significance of their existence?
However, one of the characteristics of these bright red viruses is that they can be carried on Lin ’s cells without destroying it. Lin does n’t know what the reason is until now.
Lin suddenly discovered that it didn't know what it meant to exist, did it keep evolving?
This seems to be a question worth pondering, but Lin still doesn't think it's time for that kind of free time.
Lin ’s aircraft carrier is repairing, and the cells at the wound that was torn by the Buckler worm begin to divide. At the same time, Lin gathers the cells and some large devourers who were left outside but did not enter the mouth of the Buckler worm and swim The body of the Buckler worm, Lin intends to study and eat this monster that has caused huge losses.
The body of the Buckler worm lies on the ice not far from the aircraft carrier. Fortunately, the ice has not melted, otherwise its body may attract other cells.
Lin first asked the devourers to bite apart the joints on the worm worm's arthropods. It wanted to see if they could break the entire arthropods.
Then Lin let 100,000 cells form an exploration team, swimming into the mouth of the buckworm.The original esophagus here is no longer there, and all that remains is cell debris floating around.
The expedition team that entered was quickly merged with the group of troops that were almost all stained red, and their number was only tens of thousands.
Although it feels a bit wasteful, Lin still has to deal with them to avoid any strange situation in the virus in these cells. Lin will never let more than ten infected people.
After all, the virus is too scary, and it is still a kind of thing that damages the enemy and the self. After they have destroyed all the cells in the Buckler worm, Lin can hardly find any food available.
Maybe it should not be attacked with a virus?But this can only drive off the Buckler worm at most, and it is impossible to kill it, but is it a bargain or a bargain?Only by exploring the whole worm can you know.
Lin first let the troops explore for a while at the position where the esophagus was originally. This place is very spacious. Lin thinks that it should be in the 'round shield' of the head of the buckworm. The range of the light source of the flash burst ball is far from enough. Brighten the entire space.
There are only cell debris and viruses around. These viruses are dead. Although the appearance is not visible, even if Lin lets the cells stick to them, they will not get in.
Lynn ’s expedition team continued to go deeper. It tried to find if there was anything that was not destroyed by the virus. If the cells in the Buckler worm were really completely destroyed by the virus, then the battle was really It's not a good deal.
what is that?
Lin suddenly saw a thick long tentacle floating among the corpses of countless cells and viruses.
This tentacle is obviously also composed of cells. It seems that it was broken due to the virus attack, so Lin can see that the middle center is hollow and can accommodate many cells.
By the way, this kind of tentacle is actually a channel for cells to pass through, and it has also been seen in the joint wound of the round shield worm.
I do n’t know why the whole pipeline has not been damaged by viruses?Was it just broken?
Lin asked a devourer to swim to the crack of the pipe and looked inside, and found that there were still a lot of blue cells in it, but they all seemed to be dead lying on the wall of the pipe, and only occasionally saw one or two shaking a bit.
No matter how they survived the virus attack, it means that Lynn still has loot.
Lin let some small phagocytosis and basal cells stay. The phagocytosis enters the channel to devour the blue cells, and the basal cells directly form a small circular structure here, mainly used to decompose and digest food.
Then, the rest of Lin ’s team went deeper into the body of the buckworm along the pipe. It seemed that the deeper you went, the more things that were not destroyed by the virus.
In the process of going deep, Lin found another pipe, which was also broken, and the inside of it was filled with blue cells.
Lin also went deeper after leaving some cells here, and soon, she met more channels.
The third root, the fourth root ... As I went deeper, Lin found that there were more pipes. These pipes were crisscrossed in this space. They had different thicknesses. And the more bifurcations, the thinner the pipe.
Although these pipes are somewhat different, they all have one thing in common, that is, the thickest parts all extend into one compartment.
And if a pipe is torn open casually, a large number of blue cell corpses will flow out, seeming to be dead, but this is obviously not caused by the virus.
What a peculiar thing, how did they avoid the virus?There is no cell debris in the water here, maybe the virus has not spread here at all?
Maybe the virus only destroyed the cells in the head part of the Buckler worm, but if that is the case, why would the cells in the depths be almost dead?
Although Lin ’s aircraft carrier was torn off half by the Buckler worm, the remaining half were still alive and without any impact. And this worm only died a part of the cells and all of them died?
Lin became more and more puzzled to swim deeper along these pipes. Eventually, a huge object appeared before Lin's exploration team.
what is this?
This oval object is very large, probably similar to the pliers on the arthropod of a round shield worm. It is also composed of cells. All the surrounding pipe ends are connected to this object. .
What is this thing used for?
When Lin thought about it, suddenly the thing moved, it swelled up quickly and then shrank back again.
what happened?
Lin made the cells back a little, but left a devourer to stare at this thing. Lin was very curious about this thing.
However, Lin waited for a long time, but this thing did not move.
... Forget it.
Eat it well.
