4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 32 New Nutrient System
Lin had already made a round in the body of the buckworm, and the worm's body could hardly find anything edible, except for those multi-cell combinations like pipes.
These pipes are spread all over the body of the whole buckler worm, including the arthropods, in every corner of the body, except for the position around the esophagus, but Lin thinks that the esophagus should be destroyed by the virus.
And all the pipes are connected to the huge thing in the middle. Lin didn't know what it meant at first. After observing for a while, Lin gave up and started eating them.
It wasn't until Lin's devourers bit the pipes that Lin slowly began to understand their purpose.
There are not only a lot of blue cells in the pipeline, but also many fats and oils, various food debris, and many immune cells.
These immune cells are different from what Lin had seen before. They are very small and only a little larger than the virus. They are probably the reason why the pipeline is not affected by the virus. They secrete a sticky substance that can prevent the virus from approaching.
But why are other organs in the Buckler worm destroyed by the virus?Lin believes that this immune cell may only be responsible for the defense of the pipeline, and the immune cells responsible for the defense of other organs are blocked by Lin's forces, so the other organs are completely destroyed.
Lin doesn't know why these immune cells stay in the pipeline and not go elsewhere, but this is not Lin's main concern.
Lin mainly cares about the use of these pipes, and sees the difference between the composition of the Buckler worm and her own cell composition.
These pipes should be mainly used to transfer nutrients, so they are spread all over the body.
This kind of nutrient transfer effect feels very good. Lin ’s transmission method is just to connect the combined cells to fat cells, and then let them pass each other, the speed is much slower, like some larger devourers need to fill the nutrients. It takes quite a long time to complete.
What makes Lin feel the most powerful is the huge thing connected to the center of these pipes. That thing was only discovered after Lin ate it, and it was almost made up of cells like muscle cells, which means this Things can contract or expand, just like a pump that allows nutrients and cells in all pipes to flow quickly to all parts of the body.
What is a "pump"?
Regardless of this inexplicable word, this structure is indeed very good.
That ’s right, as long as these pipes are combined into a structure that can be circulated, and then at a certain point to form a place for food, then as long as the central muscle structure shrinks continuously, the cells circulating in the pipe can continue to be transmitted to the body nutrient.
There must be a place for food to be connected to these pipes in the Buckler worm, but Lynn didn't find it. It was probably destroyed by the virus.
But this structure turned out to be so effective.
Lin's devourer is composed of pure muscle cells plus pure lethal cells in the mouth. To say that the damage and power to the single cells is very strong, but it is also consumed quickly, and it is easy to enter a tired state. It takes a long time to replenish the activity.
The skin of an aircraft carrier is a relatively hardened type of cell. Because the hardening cannot move, it does not consume energy. However, the tentacles of the mobile aircraft carrier are also pure muscle structures. If they continue to exercise, they are prone to fatigue.
But with this structure, the muscle may be weaker than before, but it can move for a long time and quickly repair the damage.
It feels very good. Although the portion eaten is not enough for Lin to repair 30% of the aircraft carrier, it thinks it ’s worth killing the worm. In this way, it can learn a lot. If the other parts are destroyed by the virus, it is estimated that Learn more.
The virus must not be used next time.
While Lin was thinking this way, the cells almost ate up everything left in the Buckler worm.
The surrounding ice layer is slowly melting, and Lin is about to repair the aircraft carrier. Although the portion of the shield worm can eat very little, Lin itself stores a lot of fat cells, which is enough to repair the entire aircraft carrier.
The group of green cells in the "feeding circle" on the skin of the aircraft carrier also escaped this crisis, because they were just on the other side, and the shield worms did not eat that position, and Lynn found that they were doing very well. With the light shining down through the ice, they split even more.
Lin is thinking about whether to get more feeding circles.
But the most important thing now is to get the structure of the circulation pipe first.
After repairing the aircraft carrier, Lin began to form the pipe structure learned from the buckworm in the hollow body of the aircraft carrier.
The first is the central part of the muscle cells that can contract and expand quickly. Lynn found it has a new term to describe this part.
'heart'.
The heart is divided into two layers. The upper layer is responsible for sucking the water in the pipeline, and then squeezing it to the lower layer to release it, so as to achieve the purpose of circulation.
Then there is the pipeline structure. Lin let the basic cells make up these pipelines. They are all interconnected, and they are connected to various positions on the inner wall of the aircraft carrier at the end, which can deliver nutrients to the entire aircraft carrier at any time.
Lin's previous approach was to form some nutrients-absorbing tentacles in the second half of the aircraft carrier. They are mainly engulfing food and then allowing cells to pass between each other. The efficiency is completely inferior to this pipeline that uses water to transfer nutrients.
The word for pipeline construction is called 'blood vessel'.
It feels weird, but Lin decided to use the name.
Lin doesn't plan to put as many cells in the blood vessels as the buckworm, so there is more space for food.
Speaking of food, Lin combined an oval structure, called a "capsule", which can be opened and closed, and connected to blood vessels, general food is placed in the capsule, the food in the capsule is passed by the vascular cells Take it away, and then bring it to other places to supplement nutrition, and at the same time you can throw fat cells into it.
Lin is generally at the completion of the conception and the completion of the assembly. Now the body of the aircraft carrier looks like a space with vertical and horizontal pipes, but this structure also feels that there are shortcomings. Once the blood vessels are injured, the contents may be uncontrolled In this case, Lynn can only stop the heart from contracting and wait for the blood vessel to repair before it can resume circulation.
Therefore, Lin must have a stronger defense ability to prevent these blood vessels from being attacked by the enemy.
When it comes to defense, this is Lin's biggest pain.
Although its cortical structure can prevent various attacks of single cells, including spikes, venom, etc., it is easily torn off by the buckworm.
The shell of the Buckler worm is extremely hard. Although the movement is not flexible, it can't damage its joints no matter what the attack.
Lin not only had to study the inside of the Buckler worm, but also had to understand the outside in detail.
How did it grow such a hard shell?Lin's cells are completely unable to achieve this hardness, whether it is a digger or cone cells.
Maybe it is possible to evolve this ability by digging hard things as before?
But Lin didn't want to wait so long, it wanted to know how these hard shells are made up now.
Whether it looks or bites up, it doesn't feel like a cell structure.
It ’s completely incomprehensible, and there ’s no way to eat or break up to see what constitutes the bottom.
In this case, Lin decided to use it, maybe this thing can help her evolve.
How to use it?
It's very simple.
Lynn let her cells live in this carapace, right?The virus destroys only the cells in the buckworm, but it does not hurt the shell.
……correct!
Lynn might make it move again, just like it was when she was alive!
All you have to do is to combine the cells inside!If you put muscle cells into the arthropod, the muscles can move, and then put the structure of the heart and blood vessels into the shell ...
Although I do n’t know what other organs of the Buckler worm are, it does n’t matter. Lynn knows that muscles and nutrients are the basis of activity.
As long as a certain amount of cells are placed, the entire Shield Worm can be 'revived'!
