4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 86 Transfer Station
The worm also seemed to feel the taste of water. It was slow in action, and it accelerated a lot instantly, almost in the direction of the water.
Lin ’s flying person reached the water source much faster than the worm. Looking down from a height, this is a lake with a diameter of tens of meters, and there are green tentacles around the lake. It must be a plant. In the vast desert, the existence of this lake and these plants seems to bring some wonderful feelings.
How did this happen?Why does the water gather here?Lin is very concerned about this matter. Could the water also pass through the hot sand, over the dust storm, and float to the center of the desert?
When the pilot flew to the lake, Lin found that there were some small arthropods. Lin asked the pilot to drink some water. Lin found that the water here had a particularly clear feeling. The impurities contained in it were quite small. It should be Composed of water floating in the air.
Now, Lin was hesitant.
Now that the water source is found, should we kill the worm and let Leviathan come out?But this water source only occupies a small area, and there may be problems due to various factors.
While Lin was thinking, the worm was also approaching here. It stretched that huge head out of the sand, and after staring at the water for a while, it rushed into the water.
When the worm rushed into the water, its entire body was also drilled out of the sand. Lin also saw the body of the worm buried in the deep sand, from the head to the tip of the tail. Although this creature has no 20 meters, But there are more than ten meters.
How did it grow so big?This is still a mystery. Now that the worm is drinking a lot of water in the lake, Leviathan can feel a lot of water pouring into the worm's esophagus.
At this time, the esophagus of the worm began to really move, and suddenly a large amount of dissolution liquid began to secrete on the inner wall. It seems that it began to digest Leviathan.
It didn't digest when it started, was it because of lack of water?And the worms did not drink the sea water, it may be because the sea water has not recovered, or there are other reasons.
The probe used by Lin to detect the seawater is dead and may have been eaten. Lin did not replenish it afterwards. It seems that there is indeed a problem with the seawater.
The amount of dissolving fluid secreted by the worm is quite large. It seems to directly convert the water into the dissolving fluid. It can easily corrode the outer armor of Leviathan and digest the structure composed of chitin into a pile of powder.
However, it will take some time to corrode to the inner layer. All holes in Leviathan's shell are capable of opening and closing. When fully closed, even a virus cannot enter, so Lin does not need to worry about the penetration of the dissolution solution for the time being Slightly open the stomata, draw a small amount of dissolved liquid into the body, and then decompose the ingredients to see which type of dissolved liquid this belongs to.
Is it a very strong acid ...
The composition of the dissolving liquid is also very different according to the secretion of different organisms, but Lin did not give them any classification name, and they are all called the dissolving liquid.
Different lysates have very different properties. Sometimes even the lysate, which can easily corrode thick armor, can be blocked by a layer of cells, and Lin has already thought of a solution to this worm's lysate.
Lynn once combined the chitin of the dissolution solution against Aztecs. The composition of the worm solution is very similar to that of Aztecs, but there are some special substances mixed in it, which can speed up the dissolution. The protection is not difficult.
However, Lin also wanted to know how the worm's esophagus resists the lysate secreted by her.
This may be the key to killing the worm. Since it has already begun to digest Leviathan, Nalin does not intend to stay in it.
The worm's solution eroded Leviathan's outer shell, while Lin secreted a transparent anti-corrosion layer in the innermost layer, and at the same time created a small arm that covered the same anti-corrosion shell, removing it from the stomata Send it out in the middle, and observe the changes on the wall of the esophagus in the worm esophagus filled with the dissolution solution.
It turned out so ...
A layer of white mucus adhered to the worm's esophagus wall. Obviously, the worm relies on this to prevent itself from being corroded.
Lynn scraped some mucus down the wall of the esophagus and returned to Leviathan to analyze the composition of the mucus.
At this time, the flying person flying around the lake, Lin could see the huge body of the worm floating all over the water, as if dead, but in fact, its body is undergoing intense movements, in order to digest Leviathan, It kept secreting huge amounts of dissolved liquid, just like it was intended to use these liquids to crush Leviathan directly.
However, Lin has now analyzed those mucus components on the wall of the esophagus of the worm, which is mainly made of a special cell structure. Lin knows that there is a special method to peel them off the wall of the esophagus.
Thinking, Lynn began to produce a large number of special solutions, this liquid is specifically for the esophageal wall cells of the worm, it can disintegrate the connection between the cells.
However, just as Lin was about to release these solutions, the worm's body suddenly shook, and the flying person saw that the worm, which was still motionless on the water, suddenly twisted his body and dived into the water.
What's wrong with it?
When Lin was strange, she suddenly saw a creature near the lake. This creature, Lin had seen ...
Desert scorpion, this kind of scorpion about the size of Leviathan actually appeared beside the lake in the desert. Obviously, it came for water.
Many organisms are accustomed to use liquid to expel waste from the body, so they are prone to lack of water, even if they have a carapace that will not leak.
The pilot could see the blurry giant shadow of the worm in the lake slowly approaching the scorpion drinking water by the lake. It obviously wanted to hunt.
Then wait for a while, Lynn tells Leviathan to stop releasing the liquid, and it won't be too late after the worm eats the scorpion.
The scorpion didn't notice the worm in the lake at all, and the worm's hunting method was also quite clever, slowly approached, tightened his body, and then rushed out of the water!
The scorpion barely responded, and was bitten by a worm, followed by a sound of the carapace being crushed. The scorpion was bitten into pieces and swallowed in a very short time.
Lynn couldn't help but see this, but if she didn't count the time when she rushed into the worm's mouth, she would be bitten into pieces like this ...
After the worm swallowed the scorpion, it retracted back into the water and continued to float on the surface to make a corpse-like appearance.
With the peristaltic movement of the esophagus, Lin ’s eyeballs with anti-corrosive carapace can see many pieces of scorpions being squeezed to the same position as Leviathan, soaking in acid and slowly digesting ...
So now, do it ...
Thinking, Lin began to let Leviathan release special solutions. These liquids will not be affected by stomach acid. It spreads in large amounts. The cells of the esophageal wall are connected by a layer of mucus, but these liquids will destroy this layer. Mucus causes the cells to be disconnected.
The esophagus wall lost the protection of this layer of cells and showed signs of corrosion when directly contacted by acid.
'Goo ...'
The worm floating on the surface of the water felt a problem in the body and made a strange sound.
Leviathan continues to release a large amount of solution, and the worm's body now has a large rotting wound, which is still expanding.
The worm twisted its body, rushed out of the lake, climbed onto the sand and kept shaking its head, Leviathan also felt the inner wall of the esophagus twisting fiercely, and squeezed everything inside out!
The pilot saw the worm open its mouth, and Leviathan also felt an extremely strong current. With the current, the worm spit everything on the beach. Leviathan, the scorpion Fragments and a lot of acid.
Can you spit it out in such a deep position?
Leviathan stood up, and the light of the day directly burned the cells in the body through its corroded pothole. The inner shell of Leviathan could only prevent corrosion and could not resist the burning of light.
The worm stood a third of its body, and its bright red eyes stared straight at Leviathan, as if it knew it was a problem caused by Lynn, but after such a stare, the worm's head turned to the side Distorted, the whole body fell to the sand suddenly.
