Leviathan's trip never stopped.
Under the constant replacement of day and night, Lin witnessed the difference between various environments and creatures. Her knowledge of various things has continuously improved her knowledge, and several bases have also grown up and can operate normally.
But how far has Leviathan travelled?
Lynn didn't know that it didn't have an accurate vocabulary to describe "distance" and "length", nor did it deliberately remember, but just kept going to places it had never been.
Lynn has been studying the control of pigments. Although the cells have been able to make green, they cannot absorb light as nutrients. Green cells must have other secrets, not just green.
Lin carefully observed the green cells for a long time, and even after eating hundreds of millions of them, she slowly learned what was inside. Green is actually just a by-product, a light that is reflected without being absorbed.
Green cells can combine many different substances together. These substances absorb other colors of light, such as red, blue, or something. Then they mix the absorbed light with other things to create small crystals. Edible gadgets.
This behavior also produces oxygen by-products, but they do n’t seem to absorb oxygen, so they throw it out.
However, green cells inhale oxygen in a dark environment, just like other creatures.
They also don't absorb green light, so bounce it out, which is why they look green.
Although it seems to be very simple, the process is very complicated. Lin does not know how to mix the various substances in it, which is much harder than getting the shells.
Now Lin just gives the cell the ability to reflect green light. In fact, this has nothing to do with eating light. Lin hasn't even completed the foundation.
How are those green cells done?When Lynn preyed on them, they would n’t even hide. Some types of toxins produced toxins, but their power was relatively weak, and Lin easily evolved the targeted resistance.
Why can a creature of this intelligence level accomplish such a complicated thing?
Lin didn't know. In fact, when Lin's intelligence is higher, the less she understands what 'intelligence' is.
In this case, leave it to the cells. Lynn can let a cell eat a green cell and give it the thought of 'combining light-absorbing substances'.
After the first step is completed, give the next step, 'compose the absorbed light and other non-food substances into food'.
'Non-food substance' under Lin's observation it knew that the green cells seemed to use a small non-oxygen bubble, as well as water.
When gas and water combine with light, the edible, small crystal-like substance will be born, but Lin does not know the specific process, so it is left to the cells for processing.
The automatic action of the cell can sometimes play a big role, but no matter what, it takes a long time, and Lynn continues her journey first.
Now, Leviathan is close to the surface of the water. The surface of this water area is shaking, sometimes tumbling, sometimes rotating. Lin knows that it is caused by air. The rapid air flow makes the water surface start to irritate, and it is accompanied by countless The water column fell from the air field and hit the water to form a circle of ripples.
Because it was daylight now, Lynn saw it clearly.
Above the water surface, the sky that was supposed to be extremely dazzling in the daytime is now blocked by a layer of gray, and the intensity of ultraviolet rays is also much weaker, so Leviathan can be observed close to the water surface.
Lin saw the same phenomenon again before. Very bright light flashed in the sky. Although this kind of light was short, it was enough to illuminate the whole area and make the air and water tremble together at the moment it appeared.
Is this 'lightning'?There is also "sky", which is also a new word.
Wonderful words, Lin can't understand them yet, it just finds this phenomenon very interesting, but it's not the only reason to attract Lin.
Not far ahead, a large swarm of flatworms was swimming against the surface of the water, and because of the weakening of ultraviolet rays, they were able to get close to this place.
By the way, it seems that they can't be called 'worms', Lin found a new word to describe these creatures with spine.
'fish'.
That's right, just change the name to flatfish. Although Lin doesn't think it's much different from 'flatworm', it likes to use new words.
There are only two types of flatfish that Lin has seen so far. One type has a serrated round mouth that will attack it, and the other is the one in front of him. It has no attack power and only feeds on single cells or the like.
The flatfish gathered on the swaying water and didn't know what to do. Lynn let Leviathan watch at a distance so as not to scare them away.
Lin likes to observe other biological activities, so that she can sometimes learn something interesting or useful, even if it is a small creature, it will not be ignored.
The flat fish swimed for a while, then they stuck together one by one, and ejected a huge amount of white liquid from the small hole under the tail.
Is that a cell?
Lin released a small eyeball to swim closer, and found that these liquids are indeed small cells. One of them is an oval with several tentacles, and the other is spherical. The species with tentacles will try to drill into the spherical shape. Among the cells, the spherical cells will then harden, preventing other tentacle cells from drilling in.
Leafworms have also had this behavior before, and Lin still doesn't understand what this is doing.
The behavior of flatfish is more special than that of leafworms. After releasing these cells, they slowly become motionless and float in the water.
It's like dying.
Leviathan swam closer to the group of flatfish, stretched out his tentacles and grabbed one, tore it apart and let his eyes enter his body and looked at it.
... really dead?
No, in fact they are not dead, but most of the cells have reduced activity, including cells in the brain, it seems to show a 'sleeping' state, and the body's nutrient reserves are almost exhausted. about there.
They have not been attacked by viruses or the like, and the cells have not been harmed, which means that the only reason is ... they are all committing suicide.
It's crazy.
But there is really nothing wrong with their brains, this is what makes Lin most puzzled.
Many creatures have been bewildered by Lin, but it is the first time I have seen such a crazy thing.
So Lin released the collector, grabbed some of the flatheads' spouted cells and brought them back to Leviathan,
Then Lin made a hardened transparent ball and installed them inside, intending to observe their changes for a long time. What is the unique ability of this thing?The flat fish can be made with their lives.
Although Lin felt extremely unreasonable, Lin knew that they must have their own reasons. This kind of intelligence is very complicated ...
As for the 'sleeping' flatfish around, none of them wasted as Lin's reserve.
Leviathan has been 50% larger than before on this trip, and the amount of food actually available can grow more than three times, but Lynn did not continue to increase, but stored more food.
Lin has a compression storage method, which is to compress a large number of fat cells together without supplying oxygen to them, which can reduce a lot of space, and they are not active anyway.
Then it's time to continue traveling.
Lynn left the water filled with lightning and restlessness, and slowly dived deeper ...
In the area under the sea, huge beaches appeared under Leviathan's eyes. This kind of environment is quite common, but this time Lin felt strange.
This beach has many huge circular holes all over it, and they are in large numbers. There are ten Lin in the current field of view, and there are many living things around, such as trilobites or flatfish.
These openings are just a little wider than Leviathan, and it's just enough to get a closer look.
Of course, Lynn will not let Leviathan go directly, but create a new arm to explore the dangerous situation.
