"We will build an underwater civilization here!"
This is an area under the ocean that seems to be quite rich in creatures. Large areas of coral form a colorful underwater jungle, and various creatures shuttle here, and amidst all of this... there is a stone building .
The building is more than 20 meters high and has a square structure as a whole. There are some strange creatures wandering around the building.
However, compared to Lin, they are more 'normal'.
"I didn't expect that you would come here to guide us. It's really great."
Now, in front of Lin is a... creature that should be called 'Seaborn Atlan'.
Lin came to this place with the group of orcas before, and soon discovered the first 'settlement' of the sea dwelling plan. There are already quite a few Atlans here.
These Atlans... have indeed completed the change of 'aquatic form', but they are very different from Lin's appearance.
First of all, they still maintain most of Atlan's appearance, and their limbs are still there. At first glance, they don't seem to have changed much. Only after getting close can you see their changes...
The fingers and toes of these Atlans have become a little longer than before, and there are structures called 'webs' on them. Originally Atlans moved very slowly in the water, but now it is much faster.
At the same time, their body hair has completely disappeared, and their skin has become smoother except for the head, much like sea creatures...
However, they are not considered 'pure' marine life.
Like cetaceans, these marine atlans do not have the ability to breathe underwater, and they regularly go to the air environment to take in oxygen.
But their respiratory organs have undergone great changes, each breath can store oxygen for a long time, and there are some differences when they eat.
According to them, they are able to feed in water, have some other means of getting rid of excess water in their bodies, and are also able to adapt to deeper water pressure.
I have to say that they change very quickly, they should be like 'rock skin'. It is under the action of microorganisms that the shape changes rapidly.
And the Atlans think that their "ancestors" came to land from the water in this way.
There are very vague statements about this, but Lin thinks that they will be like rock skins, and they will continue to change if they live here for a long time.
And now their appearance has basically remained unchanged, but it should continue to change in the next few generations...
When they saw Lin. They all thought that Lin was the 'messenger of the sea god' like Atlan before, but they also knew Lin and knew that the role Lin played was the king's child, so they felt that Lin was here to 'lead' them.
So Lin easily joined them. And Lin has been living here...for three days and nights.
Lin is now swimming slowly on the coral bushes, and there is a 'guard' beside Lin, who has been here to protect Lin.
After all, they still regard Lin as a member of the royal family, and there are a few other guards swimming around. Except for them, the other Atlan here are all carrying out the construction plan of "underwater civilization".
There are more than 60 Atlans in this group, more than Lin thought before, including an Atlan who connected from the outside to experience history.
This location is far away from Atlan's sea island city, but it's unclear whether it will be affected by the disaster.
After all, I don’t know the intensity of the disaster...
Now. Atlans mainly revolve around a building.
This building is said to have been here a long time ago, and is evidence that their 'ancestors' were sea creatures.
This building is indeed quite wonderful. The whole structure is made of a structure similar to coral bones. Although it was a little damaged, it was repaired by the Atlans.
But there is no Atlan living in it, and the building is mainly used to store various foods.
They want to grow food here like on the ground, and even want to raise various fish creatures, and then add buildings to slowly transform this place into an underwater city.
Their way of life...reminds Lin of those skeletal dragons that live in the water, so Lin feels that it is indeed possible to...'guide' them.
that's it. The character played by Lin lives in this place, and as the leader of this group of Atlans, guides them how to live underwater.
Although Lin looked different from them, none of them would doubt Lin. Lin found that they were quite obedient, just like the elite group.
So, Lin told them how the skeletal dragons used to live underwater, but she didn't go into too much detail, and mostly let them develop on their own.
And their own comprehension ability is also very strong.
They migrated to the fringes of coral reefs in order to grow larger areas. Just beyond the edge is a vast... underwater wasteland.
On the wasteland, they planted a large number of sea plants, which Atlan called...water vegetables, it seems that they are not very good at naming.
However, there is nothing special about it... The roots of marine plants are only used for fixation, and they basically absorb nutrients from the water, so the Atlans will collect 'fertilizer' from the coral reefs and sprinkle them on the 'fields of water vegetables' 'superior.
These fertilizers included corpses and other things, and with their efforts, the water vegetables grew steadily.
As long as they grow up, water vegetables are basically foods that can be eaten directly. Before this group of Atlans were more inclined to eat cooked food, the main method of making cooked food was to use crystals.
They brought a lot of crystals here, but gradually they all began to prefer to eat raw... But this group of Atlans didn't just abandon the crystals, they were still trying to use the crystals to make some devices.
For example, the oxygen generator suggested by Lin to them, so that they can stay in the water all the time, instead of always swimming to the surface to breathe.
Of course, they also use some methods to store oxygen underwater, but these methods are not long-lasting, and it is better to directly produce oxygen.
Their crystallization cannot directly produce oxygen, but it can be used as a power source for mechanical devices...
During the period of living here, Lin also found that this place seems to be really good. Not only does it have coral reefs with huge resources, but also there are few dangerous sea creatures approaching. There are only some carnivorous creatures that are no bigger than Atlanta.
The most dangerous time... was when Lin saw a large group of creatures called 'pseudo-orcas' approaching here. Although the pseudo-orcas have this name, they are quite different from real orcas. They are all black. About half the length of an orca.
Of course also carnivorous creatures, the attacks of these creatures... resulted in the death of several Atlans.
After that, Atlans discovered the importance of group size, and they believed that more offspring were needed.
Thus, they began to increase the number of populations.
This Lin also suggested it, but they seemed reluctant at first, and they were basically reluctant to do this kind of thing. I don't know why...
But it's different now.
From this time on, Lin also found that the process of observing history seemed to be 'speeded up'.
For example, when the character Lin wakes up after sleeping, she will find that several days and nights have passed, and of course the surrounding things have also developed for several days and nights.
However, the aquatic Atlan's attitude towards Lin is very normal. From their understanding, Lin did not sleep for several days and nights in a row, but did things according to Lin's "character" during these days and nights.
Seeing this, Lin feels that the history here has developed to a 'stable' stage, so now Lin will automatically skip the time when nothing special happened, so that she can observe the development of this group of Atlanta at a very fast speed.
Later, Lin discovered that, as Lin thought, she would skip some time every time she went to sleep, and there were basically no important things in these times.
Important things may not necessarily happen at the time Lin wakes up... so the law of skipping time is not sure yet.
However, Lin also found that all the important things will not be missed.
After Lin woke up one time, she found that Atlans were cheering, and they had successfully created something.
Something that could be called 'mechanical'.
Although these machines are relatively simple, they no longer need to go to the sea to obtain oxygen...
Then, Lin skipped some time after that, Atlans were keen to study mechanical technology, but...
Once after Lin woke up, something big happened.
It felt as if an unusually strong explosion had occurred in the distance, and the place trembled like an earthquake.
The coral jungle here collapsed as a result, but the main problem wasn't earthquakes.
Not long after the shock passed... a large amount of dust and toxic substances floated from a distance, and these substances quickly covered the place.
Many creatures left, and the rest died here.
Atlan, on the other hand, belonged to the group that left.
Their plants could no longer be planted, and there was no way to sustain life here, so they took the remaining resources and started to move elsewhere in the ocean, deciding to find another place where they could build a city.
It's clear... a disaster has happened.
It feels like an island explosion or something, and this phenomenon has affected a large area of the nearby sea.
Therefore, Atlans have not found a suitable place to live for a long time.
Along the way, they can only rely on catching some creatures that are very vigorous but can provide very little nutrients as food.
During this journey, the Atlans slowly moved to the deep sea area, and in the process... they also encountered many things. (To be continued.)
