Chapter 2 Departure
The new body that Lin put together was not very different from the previous one.
The main body is a spherical structure, the outer skin is covered with tentacles with stinging cells, which can be used for hunting or swimming. The middle of the body is hollow, which is used to house the wandering cells, and an eyeball is assembled at the front of the body. , although smaller than before, is much larger than the observer.
There is an oval tail mainly composed of muscle cells at the back of the body. There is an opening at the end of the tail. Under the action of muscle cells, it can quickly absorb and spray water. This structure allows Lin to move at an instant speed.
The overall size is only about 30% of the size of the previous base. After all, there is nothing to eat except for some wild cells on the caves and rocks. Those white pastes that keep coming out have long been cut off, so Lin can only make such a big combination. .
Lynn decided to call it the 'far traveler', which meant Lynn decided to travel great distances in search of new food and things.
Thinking like this, Lin began to swing the tentacles of the Farstrider's body, left the rock where it had been staying for an unknown time, and headed towards the ocean.
The scenery in the water was still as familiar to Lin, still unchanged, vast and empty, which made Lin feel uneasy, however, this feeling soon disappeared.
The water in this area seems to be getting warmer, and the surrounding light is getting brighter and brighter. At this time, Lin found that it was swimming upwards unconsciously. more obvious.
The outer skin of the 'Farwalker' has been hardened, and the harder the outer skin is, the duller the perception of the outside world, but Lin specially set up two small tentacles composed of basic cells that have not undergone any hardening. This gave Lin a clear understanding of the temperature changes and current fluctuations in the surrounding waters.
At this time, the big eyeballs at the front of the Far Traveler noticed something, and the large green patches in front immediately attracted Lin's attention. It was something that Lin was very familiar with...
green cells.
These destructive oxygen-releasing things gathered in large areas in the water in front of Lin, and Lin also noticed that the light there seemed to be very...bright.
The green cells themselves have no attack power, but the oxygen bubbles they release have terrifying deadly energy, but now Lin is no longer afraid of oxygen, so now the green cells have only one meaning to Lin...
food.
Lin suddenly shrank the far-walker's tail, and the far-walker's body instantly rushed towards the large group of green cells. It waved its tentacles and began to hunt the surrounding green cells!
The green cells did not have the ability to resist, and their speed was far less than that of Lin's far-walkers. Lin rushed into their group and could kill a large number of green cells with just a wave of her tentacles.
There is a mouth that can be opened and closed under the eyeball of the far traveler. After killing a lot of green cells, Lin opened the mouth to these dead green cells, inhaled their remains, and used it in the injection in the far traveler's body. The acid breakers break down the wreckage and let some of the body's tentacles, made up of fat cells, devour it.
These steps seem a bit complicated, but they are actually done very quickly, and the nutrients obtained can quickly be passed on to the entire body of the traveler.
After eating one group of green cells, Lin rushed to the next group. There are quite a lot of green cells in this area of water. Lin estimates that there are several million. If they are eaten up, Lin can increase a lot of groups.
The green cells will move in groups to avoid Lin's arrival, but their movements are very slow. For Lin, they are just like twisting their bodies in place. Most of the green cells are almost caught by Lin before they can move. Tentacle poisoning.
Of course, this is also thanks to Lin's ability to use oxygen, which is much faster than before.
Continuing to devour these cells, Lin began to use nutrients to increase the size of the Farstrider and increase the fat cells to prepare for the next hunting spot.
And when hunting green cells,
Lin also had some questions, what do these green things feed on? Although it is relatively warm and the light is very bright, Lin did not see any other cells or food similar to white paste. Why are they still piled up in groups in this place?
Do they feed on light and temperature?
The last small group of green cells was in front of her. Lin almost ate them all, and the surrounding waters that had been dyed green by them also returned to empty and nothingness. Now there are only about a thousand or so cells left in this small group. They form a group. piled together, did not escape, did not fight back, which reminded Lin of the previous light bacteria.
But this time, Lin didn't feel anything like sympathy.
But Lin didn't plan to eat them all. Instead, she used basal cells to form a semi-circular structure on the outer skin of the Farstrider, roughly the size of which could hold several thousand cells. Lin called it a 'feeder'. , the purpose is to grab these green cells and lock them inside.
'Raising' seems to be a very fresh and useful word.
There are openings controlled by muscle cells on the rearing ring, which can inhale the things outside. Lin swims to the remaining small group of green cells and drives them all into the rearing ring with tentacles.
The purpose of Lin's doing this is of course to study them. If the green cells really feed on light and warmth, then as long as Lin raises them and keeps them dividing, it means that there will be endless food.
Lin drove almost all the green cells into the enclosure. The outer layer of the rearing enclosure is transparent so that light can reach them. Lin will soon be able to know if these cells can divide with only light and temperature. .
Lin Lin in the rearing circle also assembled a small eyeball to observe the activities of this group of green cells and to ensure that they would not make any resistance moves.
After finishing everything, Lin looked at the surrounding empty waters again.
Where to go?
If brighter and warmer places have many green cells, what about darker places?
Lin's curiosity drives it to move downstream. Although it is said that feeding green cells should be in a well-lit place, in fact, Lin doesn't care too much about raising them successfully. The desire to explore occupies a larger part of Lin's thoughts. .
Thinking, Lin turned the head of the Farstrider down, wiggling her tentacles and headed for the depths of the water.
As Lin thought, the further down the gravitational force was, the colder the water temperature would become, but Lin still remembered the lava she had seen before. Looking back now, Lin still doesn't know what it was, but apparently it was. Something hot, capable of heating an entire area.
If they meet again, Lin will definitely avoid it.
After traveling downstream for a while, the Farstrider's eyeballs brought familiar things to Lin's mind.
Gravel and cells.
All kinds of cells gather in this relatively cold water. Unlike the all-color green cells seen above, the cells here are not of the same type, and they are gathering in racial units, looking for Food or hunt each other, and their place of activity is a vast sandy beach.
These sands are not the same as the gray sands that Lin had seen before. These sands are white and finer and smaller. The smallest is only a little larger than Lin's cells, and the largest is a thousand times larger. Most of those cells are in the sand. Swimming in the gaps between them, some were a large group piled up on a certain larger piece of gravel, and they were so numerous that they spread all over the beach as far as Lin could see.
These cells are good prey, Lynn's Farstrider—it's made up of tens of millions of cells, dwarfing even the largest cell colonies here.
Lin was sure that no cell was its opponent, but since the Farstriders were too large to move between the sand grains, Lin needed a more suitable structure to hunt them.
Although it is possible to build a base as before, and then use flashing tentacles to attract other cells to approach and hunt it down.
But Lin thinks that is not active enough. If there are no cells, it will starve. Lin needs a more active way of hunting...
Soon, Lin thought of a good solution, but first, the entire Farstrider had to be modified.
Thinking about it, Lin began to refit the Far Walker. It expanded the Far Walker's body to a larger size, and the overall structure was still oval, but Lin degenerated the tentacles that covered her body, leaving only two flat and Longer ones are used for swimming, and the degradation method is mainly to let them die, which is a kind of method like 'lifespan'.
The swelling is mainly to make the cortical cells keep dividing and expand the whole body. It takes a lot of energy to transform, but if there is so much food below, it is obviously worth it.
Then Lin began to make several holes in the cortex controlled by muscle cells and arranged neatly. They were of different sizes and were mainly used for various troops to enter and exit.
What is a troop?
Lynn is now combining them inside the Farstrider. The so-called 'troops' are mainly small cell assemblies, but they are all composed of cone cells, stinging cells or acid injectors and other powerful lethal cells, which Lin uses to go to the crevices of the sand. In the middle or swim to the distance to hunt other cells, and transport the loot obtained back to the body of the Farstrider to store it as nutrients.
At this time, the Far Traveler is like the previous base, serving as a storage point for resources, but unlike the previous 'base' that was stuck on the rock and could only passively wait for food to pass through, this 'base' can be moved, and the hunting method Also more active.
At the same time, it shouldn't be called Farstrider.
Lynn has a new word to name it...
'Aircraft carrier'.
