Chapter 158 The End of Winter

The cold winter is still going on... The heavy snow, the frozen ocean, the blue moonlight sprinkled all over the earth, countless light spots penetrated the branches and leaves of the twisted jungle, adding a layer of light blue luster to all the silver-white things, this It feels pretty good...

But the creatures here don't think so, and no creature will appreciate these beauties, not only because they are sleeping, but also because they are about to face the threat of death.

Lin found that the lack of oxygen has now reached the middle of winter. The current problem is quite serious. The oxygen content of the air has continued to drop a lot. Although the current creatures are sleeping, the demand for oxygen is not very large, and some creatures do not even need it. Oxygen, but when spring comes it will be different...

When the organisms wake up in the spring, they need to absorb a lot of oxygen to restore their vitality. If the oxygen level is still the same at that time, it will cause a large number of organisms to die.

I wonder if the vine ferns that proliferate in the desert in spring can restore oxygen?

However, they only grow for a period of time, and then there will be problems, and the current problems may not be solved by an extra jungle.

And there is no way to find out the cause now... It seems that there is no way to do it. Although Lin can create a lot of green blankets to release oxygen, it is estimated that it has no effect. After all, there was no such problem in the previous winter, and the Inca swarm was not recorded. They have even recorded the situation when the month came a few times before, which means that this is the first time in history that this kind of thing has happened, and it has nothing to do with the month.

So what to do now?

There seems to be no way out at the moment but to wait. Maybe it will get better?

However, Lin had to modify the body structure of most units in order to adapt to the low oxygen environment. Especially the large arms, now accustomed to the situation of more oxygen, it will be difficult to move in the absence of oxygen.

No...you shouldn't just remodel units.

This may be an opportunity, but it is not necessarily an opportunity for Lin to create an environment!

Lin didn't know why the oxygen decreased. Air is composed of various gases. In Lin's observation, the overall gas level in the air also became a bit strange, and the oxygen decreased the fastest. The composition of other gases in the air also changed, some increased to fill the vacancy of oxygen, and some decreased, but there was little change.

But since the airflow is flowing, the oxygen may have leaked out from somewhere, or be consumed for some reason, and the possibility of being consumed is quite high.

Although just guessing. But Lynn can do an experiment to see.

This may protect some creatures.

Taking advantage of this winter...

Lin began to dispatch a large number of troops, all of them are of one type, called 'shell-painters', Lin used the shell-coaters to create various husk substances, and Lin let the shell-coaters spread out, in the twisted jungle a position in a circle. About three hundred meters in diameter.

What Lin wants to create is a safe area that can maintain the original level of oxygen, so that some creatures here will not die due to lack of oxygen.

Lin's shell coaters are not many, because they are not very useful at ordinary times, and they are basically left over from the manufacture of pioneers. So it can't make a big place, and 300 meters is already quite big. This work is not difficult, but it is very time-consuming, and the efficiency is relatively low when it is produced in winter. The cold always slows down biological activities.

But Lin also proceeded at the fastest speed, mainly to create a semi-circular 'cover' to completely cover the large jungle, and then inject a large amount of oxygen to maintain the oxygen content at the level before the reduction, so that the inside creatures can live normally.

Of course, there are many creatures that are not covered. Lin doesn't think that lack of oxygen can kill all creatures, and there should be some special evolution. Lin just wants to see how the creatures inside the cover are different from those outside the cover. .

In the future, Lin can consider increasing the scope of the cover, or build it at sea or even in the air.

It feels good.

In this way, Lin's shell coaters began to work quickly. They piled up the shell matter layer by layer like a statue, and added spider silk to increase stability.

Speaking of which, Lin found that spider silk is really useful, it can greatly stabilize objects, and things that were originally knocked down can be mixed with spider silk and can't even explode bombs.

Lin also has to prepare some supplies. There is no food in winter, so she has to use it in the base for storage, but there is quite a lot of storage, but it is very troublesome to transport it under the cold sky.

In this way, the coaters are rapidly manufacturing, and the days and nights of winter slowly pass...

The snowballs floated in the air day and night with the wind and snow. They observed, detected, and looked around the frozen world. Lin found that the moon was indeed not getting bigger. It stopped at a certain point and never stopped. moved.

It seems that the moon is close to the limit, and it may retreat next, so that the floating power of Naruto may slowly disappear, and then... the jungle will be bombarded with boulders.

This is a normal thing, but the head worm may be a little dangerous. If she sees Naruto's airborne height decreasing, Lynn may get it back before it wakes up.

The same is true for the amount of oxygen. After Lin found that the oxygen seemed to decrease to a certain extent, the rate of decrease began to slow down.

But at this level, many creatures have died, but it's hard to say how many, and we still have to wait... the arrival of spring.

In the snow-swept world, Lin kept shaping the "oxygen fortress" of a few creatures. After more than 100 days and nights, Lin finally completed this special work.

It is a huge cover. The top of the cover is more than 50 meters high, which is much higher than the largest twisted tree. The whole is made of transparent shell material, which does not affect the sunlight, and Lin added a lot on it. A 'window' that can be opened and closed to let in rainwater and allow air to circulate.

Of course, it is usually closed to prevent the loss of oxygen inside. In addition, the edge of the cover is buried at a depth of about ten meters underground, which can prevent ordinary diggers from leaving.

The cover is about ten centimeters thick and is completely sealed. Even viruses cannot float out. After mixing in the spider silk, it is impossible for ordinary creatures to knock them apart, unless it is a large creature like the deep sand bus, but there are such creatures that really hit If so, Lynn will fix it before then.

The next step is to start producing oxygen.

This is quite simple, you just need to put on a bunch of green blankets to continuously absorb light and release oxygen. Of course, there is no need for Lin to make green blankets in the hood, it can be spread on a wider area outside, and then the oxygen is collected and injected into inside the hood.

Lin started this work very early. A large amount of collected oxygen was mixed with a small amount of other gases, and was sent into the hood by a soldier whose whole body expanded like a ball. After continuously injecting oxygen, Lin found that the oxygen inside the hood was The level began to recover. At the same time as the injection, Lin also released the air with low oxygen content in the original hood, so that the air in the hood would not be too much.

Next, is the stage of biological selection.

Lin needs to choose some species that have a small range of activities and don't like to run around. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to force those species with a large range of activities into this place.

But what species to choose?

Inside the hood is an environment that maintains the original level of oxygen, which can be called an 'isolated' environment. If you want to create an ecological environment inside, you must choose a very rich species, and you must ensure that there are relationship, there will be no problems such as imbalance.

Lynn provides nothing but oxygen, they have to be their own environment.

This is hard to think about... It is necessary to take into account all the habits of various creatures. Although the most important thing Lin lacks is computing power, it also contains a variety of problems other than computing.

Anyway, let's do it first.

Lin has only one purpose for doing this, to observe the evolution and changes of living things. Organisms aggregate a variety of tiny changes into evolution. This part feels quite interesting.

Because it is winter now, Lin can easily dig out the sleeping creatures under the snow, and then dig a hole in the hood to put these creatures in. You need to be careful not to have too much influence on the way.

Lin picked out many species of cockroaches, beetles, and bees, and put them in strictly according to the proportion of predators and prey in the jungle, and also divided into large, medium and small grades, each grade is an environment, a plant aspect Don't worry about it, because there are only twisted trees in this area...

Although there are many kinds of animals, Lin found that there are few kinds of plants. There may be more than 1,000 kinds of large animals and 10,000 kinds of small ones, but there are only a few dozen kinds of plants, such as twisted trees or home trees. several.

The growth of plants seems to be relatively limited, mainly due to the lack of seed dispersal ability. If they have new dispersal methods, they may evolve

Once the placement is complete...there's nothing left to do,

Just wait for them to wake up after spring and see how their lives will be different from the creatures outside.

During these cold and boring days, Lin made a large display at the base to display and simulate the life status of various creatures, as well as some wartime situations.

Lynn imagined a new species, made them appear on the Manifester, and then put them at war with some of her own units.

This seems to be very interesting. It can simulate many kinds of situations, which is very helpful to improve the control of arms, tactics and so on.

While Lin was playing this kind of 'game', winter slowly passed...

Until the arrival of spring, the day when all things wake up.

But this could be a new... mass extinction. (To be continued...)
