4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 49 Seeds
The huge smoke pillars kept pouring from the depths of the trench, they rushed out of the trench and kept going up until they finally became more and more sparse and disappeared.
Lin thought that this was a harmful and inaccessible substance and hid away, but the reaction of the surrounding creatures was opposite to it. Many small trilobites drilled from the beach and gathered near the cracks of the trench. They waved their arthropods and received The scattered smoke and dust.
Can this be eaten?
When Lin was strange, she found many single-celled organisms and some jellyfish near the smoke, but they did not enter the center, but just swimed around the smoke column. Lin thought they were collecting dust.
Maybe there are some edible substances in the smoke?
Lynn is not surprised, after all, there are even creatures that eat up, but if you can use such a huge amount of energy, it is great ...
Leviathan created a new class of soldiers called "Analyst". Its body is round and very similar to the Devourer. It has a large mouth, but there are no teeth in the mouth, but it is filled with small tentacles. These small tentacles It can be analyzed whether the contacted substances are harmful to Lynn's cells.
The analyst, like the jellyfish around, swallowed a lot of dust in the smoke, and then felt the ingredients inside with the tentacles in his mouth.
Lin could feel from the analyst's tentacles that the dust was a little harmless and a little harmful, but no harmless cells could digest it.
Lin ’s cells have different digestive capabilities. Like acid injectors or blasters, they can decompose quite a lot of substances, including many non-living substances, while basic cells can only digest the debris or white paste of other cells.
Thinking of it, Lynn hasn't seen white plaster for a long time ...
Lin is not very clear about the specific meaning of digestion. His current research only knows that it should also be a process of decomposition to reorganization, which uses a certain substance in the body to dissolve the swallowed substance and then reconstitute it into the same composition as the body.
This process is very complicated, but the acid solution in the acid injector and the blaster obviously helps them improve the decomposition efficiency. After using oxygen, Lin also found that the cells sometimes use oxygen to decompose food.
Like the dust in this smoke, it needs to be mixed with oxygen to decompose.
The decomposed Orbi Lin is still unable to understand, but it knows that these smoke plumes pouring out of the trench are actually food that keeps pouring!
Their output is so large that there is no reason not to occupy it.
Leviathan will not stop the journey, the base does not have to come here as usual, Lin can directly build a new base here.
Lynn made Leviathan create a special thing in her body, which is called 'Base Seed'.
This is a combination of 80% fat cells, 10% basal cells, and 10% glandular cells. The basal cells inside can use fat cells to divide rapidly and grow into a small base.
Small bases remanufacture arms and capture food, and eventually grow into large bases.
This type of base is not the same as the original one, and eventually it will grow into a triangular structure. All the organs are contained inside, and the outer skin is protected by a hard shell.
Well, it's really a good plan ... Lynn decided to see which nutrient-rich areas she would put in a base there.
If that base resource is thirsty, Lin will let the base decompose itself, and finally form a group of transporters to transport all the nutrients to the nearest base.
Leviathan placed the seeds of the base in the sand at the edge of the trench, and by the way, ate several small trilobites nearby to prevent them from affecting the base.
The gland cells of the base species will secrete a layer of chitin, surrounding the base species, and then the basal cells inside will begin to change. After the changes, they can open in the shell to release troops or extend their tentacles.
Until the base is about to grow up, Lynn will dissolve this shell to replace it with a larger shell.
Although a little troublesome, it can provide a good degree of protection.
After the shell has been secreted, there is almost no harm and Leviathan can leave.
So where do you go next?
Leviathan slowly swam across the dark abyss of the trench, and presented to Lin in front of it, still a white sand beach, and the looming boulders in the distance attracted Lin's attention.
Go there and see.
Leviathan's swimming speed is not fast, Lin wants to swim while watching to see where there are suitable places for the base.
Most of the creatures on this beach are starfish and anemones, and there is nothing strange.
Some distance away from the boulder group, Lin began to speed up, when she suddenly discovered that there were some small creatures with flattened leaves around her.
Is this a flatworm?It seems different.
Lin found that these small organisms are similar to flatworms, but the body is relatively long, the mouth is round, and there are several sharp teeth on the top.
Just call the round-billed flatworm.
Lin started ignoring them and continued to swim forward. After swimming for a while, she found that the round-billed flatworms were always swimming with it, and the number was increasing.
It seems that the situation is not good ...
Lin wanted to speed up, but the round-billed flatworms were much faster. The oversized Leviathan could not get rid of them. More round-billed flatworms swam from a distance. Too.
Looking at the serrations on their mouths, Lin knew what the creatures wanted to do.
So Lin started first, waving all the bite tentacles of Leviathan, and instantly caught several round-billed flatworms swimming next to them, biting them into debris.
In an instant, all round-billed flatworms came up!
Their round beaks are like suckers. When they are sucked tightly, they will twist their bodies and use the serrations on them to scrape off the target's flesh.
Lin immediately counterattacked, and Leviathan waved her tentacles, biting off the round flat beetle.
These creatures don't care about killing one other like a jellyfish. Flat-billed flatworms seem to have a very strong sense of companionship. Once a companion is killed, they will desperately attack the target of killing their companions. Countless round-billed flatworms suck in Levi Tan's tentacles, shellless tentacles were immediately scratched with numerous scars.
Although Lin can instantly coagulate the blood vessels at the wound so that the cells do not flow out in large numbers, and the flat-billed flatworms cannot damage the carapace of Leviathan's body, so they attack the parts of the tentacles together, so that the tentacles may be torn.
Round-billed flatworms are fast, and it is not easy for ordinary arms to catch up with them.
Lin quickly assembled a disc-shaped arm. They were covered by a hard shell, and the edge of the disc had a curved edge. It could swim rapidly by rotating the body with a water spray. Its name is ... flying saw!
Leviathan ’s body opening was opened, and it released several flying saws. These new soldiers that would rotate and swim were even faster than round-billed flatworms. They were also very efficient at killing enemies. The flying saw only needed to rotate. When you rush into the body of flatworms, you can easily use the curved blades around your body to turn them into countless debris.
Countless wreckage and flatworm cells floated in the water. The attack of the flying saw destroyed the round-billed flatworm group. They could not damage the hard shell of the flying saw, so they could not fight back at all, so they began to retreat and escape.
Although the round-billed flatworms were extremely united in their attacks, they retreated and fled in all directions when retreating, but Lin thought that this was a more effective means of escape, which made it impossible to pursue them all at once.
Lin did not chase it, but recovered the flying saw and released the collector to eat the remains of the round-billed flatworm while repairing the scars on her tentacles.
These things seem very smart.
Previously, the flatworms encountered by Lynn would build a boulder circle, and now these will attack the team.
Do they have any special secrets?
Lin studied the remains of a relatively complete flat-billed flatworm, and found that the ganglia in their heads are particularly large. This seems to be no longer called a ganglion, but there is a new word to describe this structure.
"brain".
In addition, this round-billed flatworm is the same as the previous flatworm. It has a cylindrical body made of chitin, which extends from the head to the tail.
Lin has never understood, what are they doing with the shell inside?Is it just a place?
There is also a new word used to describe this structure.
"vertebral".
