Chapter 33: The End of Art and the Discovery of the Brain

Crazy Bee approached the 'meat ball'. Lin was very curious about what kind of creature it was. There was no crystalline carapace on the meat ball, it seemed to be very soft, and it kept making a 'cuckoo' sound.

There are many fungi around the meatball, are those Chibcha worms feeding it? What's the point of that?

Weird.

Lin decided to take this meatball for research. The meatball is not big, only over one meter long, and it is completely unsuitable for living in such a large crystal disk.

There are two crystal disks connected by a large number of pipes, and the other Lin also looked at it, but that one was just a lot of fungi.

Now that the Qibucha worms in the whole place are almost killed, it should be gone.

Lin asked Mad Bee to dissolve the pipes connected to the crystal disk. When the pipe broke, the entire disk also fell to the ground. Because it was at a very low position, there was not much damage when it fell.

Lin asked the troops to dissolve the disc, drag the meatballs out, and let the smasher carry it on his back.

Well, it should go.

Looking at the corpse of the Qibucha worm that had been trampled on the ground, Lin felt that she had done almost the same. This battle was quite simple. The opponent was quite weak. In fact, Lin prepared more troops and troops. It is to ensure victory in the battle.

However, Lin's real thought is that it never thought of 100 victories. Before entering here, Lin didn't know the strength of the Qibucha worms, nor did they know their number and various information. Lin also used a lot of pilots. Or the infiltrator tries to scout, but is found and killed each time.

Therefore, the first battle with the Qibucha worm is basically fighting an unknown enemy, so it is difficult to guarantee the chance of winning, but the Qibucha worm is a threat, and this threat must be solved.

Although it was easy to win this time, Lin still learned a lot. Before the battle, she should not think about how to create more powerful units, but should have better detection methods. After seeing the opponent's information, she can easily It has created the ability to restrain the opponent.

After a brief summary of the battle, Lin plans to leave here, but there are still a few things to do before that.

Lin had to make sure that none of the Chibcha worms survived, except for the meat ball it took away.

There must be no such thing as 'later troubles'.

Thinking about it, Lin let the troops spread out and entered the other channels connected to the crystal worm cave, looking for other Chibcha worms.

Following this, Lin asked the collectors from the rear of the army to come and devour all the corpses of the Chibcha worms here. At the same time, Lin made a thorough study of the cave.

The pipes in the 'Crystal Insect Cave' are obviously a system for transporting food. It doesn't feel strange. The most important thing is that the entire cave is composed of crystals. The walls of the cave are always emitting light, which is enough to illuminate the entire cave. .

After research, Lin found that a large number of crystal balls with a diameter of about ten centimeters were inlaid on the walls of the caves. These balls would emit light. Lin speculated that the chibcha bugs might bring these crystal balls to the surface to absorb the light, and then bring them in. illumination.

The hardness of these crystals is very similar to what Lin found on the seabed before, but they all have shortcomings and cannot be resistant to dissolved liquids.

Not all liquids can dissolve crystals, but Lin can make many kinds of liquids. Lin usually doesn't name them separately.

One of them has a strong corrosive effect on crystals, and many other creatures secrete them, so Lin does not plan to use these crystals on armor.

In addition, almost all of the caves on the cave wall lead to the surface, and some lead to places with water. Chibcha worms rely on this piping system to introduce water into the crystal worm caves.

In these caves, only a few Chibcha worms were found, and they were easily eliminated.

Apart from that, there is nothing special about this crystal wormhole. Although the Chibcha worm is an interesting creature, it is a pity that they regard Lin as a threat, and there are many species that regard Lin as a threat, but they will retaliate Attacking, Lin has only seen the Chibcha bug.

So it must be dealt with.

There is no way for the collectors to eat up the Chibcha bugs here, because there are too many, and there are not enough collectors brought by Lin.

Therefore, Lin made a special kind of army.

It is said to be a class of arms, but it is actually a large bomb. This bomb has a spherical body with a diameter of about three meters. It is filled with explosive mixture. It has powerful muscles and can compress a large amount of gas. Although it cannot move, it is Able to move by attaching appendages.

In fact, there is no limit to the size of this kind of bomb, but the bigger it is, the more it will consume, and it is difficult to recycle, so Lin usually doesn't make it too big.

However, this is the most powerful bomb Lin has ever made, so it is named 'Art Creator'.

Lin asked the 'art creator' to go to the center of the crystal wormhole, and asked the troops to return to the cave when they came.

So, get ready to detonate...

The huge bomb began to continuously compress the gas in the body, increasing the explosive power to the highest level.

By frying the crystals here, Lin can also collect them better.

Under normal circumstances, Lin might build a base here or something, but this time Lin wants to completely kill this species.

However, just as she was about to explode, Lin felt a mood that she had had a long time ago...'sympathy'.

Why is this? Lin began to understand a little. It seemed that when she completely killed a species, she would have this kind of mood, and it had nothing to do with the other party's behavior.

That is to say, after the detonation of the art creator, the Chibcha bugs here may be wiped out.

Then fry it!

This time, compassion didn't hold Lin back.

The bomb that was compressed to the limit suddenly expanded suddenly. Under the roaring explosion sound and shock wave, the entire crystal worm cave began to tremble, and countless crystal pipes broke and collapsed. Huge cracks began to appear on the cave wall. These cracks It kept growing and breaking apart, causing the entire cave to begin to crumble and disintegrate.

The caves dug by the Chibcha insects all have one characteristic: the whole is hexagonal, and this structure is quite resistant to pressure, so they can construct the cave deep underground, but they cannot resist the impact of internal diffusion.

Lin had calculated that the cave when it came in would not be affected, and as long as the structure was not damaged, it would not collapse.

Under the impact of the explosion, the entire crystal worm cave was turned into a ruin of mixed mud and crystal debris, and it was clear that it had disappeared, so was the feeling of Lin's so-called 'sympathy', replaced by a kind of ending pleasure.

,

Then... go back.

In fact, the Qibucha worms were not completely wiped out, and Lin still carried the thing she found from the crystal disc—the creature that looked like a meatball.

When Lin asked the Crusher to carry it, this meatball had been making some cooing noises. The strange thing was that it always changed its pitch to make sounds, as if trying to communicate.

'comminicate'?

Lin suddenly realized this matter. In addition to living together for a long time and achieving a symbiotic relationship between different creatures, can they communicate directly like this?

Lin has only found some information exchange between similar species or species that have reached a long-term symbiotic relationship, but this is the first time I have seen...

That's right...it's not impossible, as long as the intelligence is enough...

Lin brought this strange fleshy creature back to its original lair, and put it together with the Euglena that was brought back from the Inca swarm, and at the same time began to try to decipher the information contained in its voice.

Lin also wanted to get a brain reader for it, but Lin didn't know where its brain was. In order not to accidentally kill it, she had to first understand the internal structure of this creature.

The meatball has air holes and a mouth, but its mouth is very small, located under the body, and is completely invisible when pressed.

Lin released some miniature troops into the flesh mass to conduct a complete study of its structure.

The body of this meatball made Lin feel quite surprised. Almost all of this creature's body is composed of brains or brain-like structural cells, which means that the 'meatball' is actually a huge brain?

With such a huge brain, the level of intelligence must not be simple, so it will try to send information to Lin?

Its brain is much more complex than other creatures, and it will take a long time to fully study it, so Lin intends to try to understand the sound it makes directly.
