Chapter 3 Aircraft Carriers

Lin is working on a new combination of cells in the body of the 'aircraft carrier'. Originally, Lin wanted to design a variety of designs, but suddenly she felt that it was not necessary, so she ended up designing only one.

These troops used for hunting are mainly circular structures with large mouths like slits on the surface. The inner walls of the large mouths are covered with spikes composed of conical cells, which are also mixed with acid injectors. It only needs to approach the prey and open it. If it breaks, they can be sucked into the mouth and crushed with countless spikes mixed with the solution.

In addition to this, the mouthed sphere is also equipped with an eye sight and two elongated tentacles to aid in swimming.

Its name is 'devourer', just like the name, the purpose of Lin's creation is to devour!

However, the so-called phagocytosers do not have the ability to digest food, because the inner wall of their mouths is completely covered with cones or lysis vents, and the body structure is composed of a large number of muscle cells, eliminating the need for food absorption and food delivery organs. , which maximizes their speed and power, and if they are almost exhausted, simply return to the 'carrier' and connect to the fat tentacles in the carrier's body to replenish.

Lin suddenly realized that 'organ' seemed to be a new word, referring to a structure composed of multiple cells with various uses.

Feels good, so let's start hunting!

The devourers began to move, and they swam their tentacles out of the channel on the surface of the aircraft carrier and began to hunt all nearby cells.

The devourers are of different sizes. This is designed by Lin to allow them to drill into the gaps of various sand grains. The smallest consists of only a few hundred cells, and the largest consists of thousands of cells, but the function and appearance are exactly the same. Lin feels that there is no need to design too many types at present.

The Devourers spread out and each swam to the hunting grounds that fit their body shape.

As soon as it finds a cell, the phagocytic rushes in, ingests it with its mouth open, and then bites into pieces.

As Lyn hunted down the cells, it found that the cells were not moving like they had ever seen before, they were faster than before, and they were also able to absorb oxygen.

It seems that these cells are also adapted to and utilize oxygen like themselves? But no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as the phagocytic combination of multiple cells.

As Lin thought, the structure of the devourer is very suitable for swallowing many cells, and the prey has no resistance to the devourer, whether it is speed or other aspects, etc. This makes Lin have an idea that it may not be able to resist. It needs other single cells besides the basal cells, it can combine them completely.

After all, the combined multicellular individual is stronger than a single cell in every way.

Some of the nearby small cell colonies were quickly eaten up by the devourers, and some of the devourers returned to the aircraft carrier and spit out the collected food. Lin made some of these nutrients into fat cells for storage, and the rest was combined into more. many devourers.

Lin's hunting range also expanded. From the gaps in the sand below to the surrounding vast waters, the Devourer could be seen hunting.

Through the devourers who drilled into the sand grains, Lin found that there was also a large amount of white paste in the depths of the sand grains. Most of the cells here were attracted by the white paste, but Lin didn't plan to eat it this time. These white pastes, after all, will be eaten sooner or later, it is better to keep them and let them attract more cells, so that there is an endless supply of food.

Lin is now hunting repeatedly—returning to store nutrients—making more Devourers—increasing the size of the aircraft carrier—continuing to hunt. The whole process is very simple and there is no danger. After a while, Lin’s thoughts The word 'leisure' came up in the middle.

Lin observed the green cells in the breeding enclosures and found that their numbers had increased a bit. It seemed that they had a way to get food from the light, because although this location is much colder than the top, there is still light here. .

Lin thinks it's time to get more breeding pens to raise more...

Just when Lin thought about this issue,

Its Devourers suddenly had special thoughts.

A devourer who was hunting in the distance suddenly suffered a strong pain, and this pain quickly spread to all the cells on its body, and then all Lin's feelings about it disappeared.

died?

Lin still remembered this feeling, and Lin also saw familiar things in the eye of the Devourer before it died.

The bright things are spreading in the water, and the cold air they emit quickly turns everything around them into solid, all the cells are running away, they are desperately drilling into the sand, trying to avoid this crisis.

The same is true for Lin, it immediately returns all the devourers to the aircraft carrier. Their speed is much faster than that of a single cell. With the support of oxygen, the speed of action has exceeded the speed of the ice spread in the water, and only two losses are lost. After a Devourer who was far away, the rest returned unharmed.

Lin's aircraft carrier is also mobile, but it's not going to run away.

It has to face this threat and evolve from the crisis!

Lin closed all the passages and openings on the aircraft carrier, indented the top eyeball into the body, and accelerated the cortical cells to harden themselves. At this time, the constantly spreading Bingjie was approaching the body of the aircraft carrier.

The cold touch came from the cortex, and Lin could clearly feel that they were constantly spreading to the entire body of the aircraft carrier, but because the outer skin of the aircraft carrier was gray and not transparent, it could not see what was outside from the inside. Happening.

However, Bingjie did not spread further. They were blocked from the cortex and did not continue into the body of the aircraft carrier, but the cold was still killing the cells on the cortex.

Lynn knew what to do.

Just like before, Lin made all the fat cells connect to the epithelium, constantly supplying them with nutrients, and making the living cells keep dividing to fight the cold crisis.

The war with Bingjie did not last long.

After Lin kept repairing the cortical cells for a while, it gradually began to feel cold and no longer had cell death.

It may have been a cold experience, and the cells were able to resist the cold very quickly.

During the period, Lin paid attention to the group of green cells. Although the ice did not penetrate the outer layer of the breeding circle, most of them were almost dead, and the remaining small groups were piled up together, and they seemed to secrete a transparent The jelly envelops the entire colony.

It felt fun.

Now that the cold has not receded, Lin can feel that it is surrounded by a thick layer of ice, and the aircraft carrier cannot move at all.

The ice should dissolve sooner or later, but don't know how long.

Lin didn't want to wait.

It started to use some cells to combine the giant diggers that it had combined, and Lin planned to dig out the ice layer to try it out.

After combining ten large diggers, Lin opened one of the passages on the aircraft carrier, and a strong cold air suddenly flowed in from the outside, and Lin could see that there was a thick ice outside.

The huge diggers immediately stepped forward. It was not difficult for them to dig through the ice layer even if they could dig through rocks. With the sharp saw teeth on the surface, they could easily scrape off piece after piece of ice crystals.

Lin formed a small eyeball to follow them out to observe the progress, and immediately closed the passage of the aircraft carrier, because it was too cold, it seemed that the cells inside were not as cold-resistant as the cortex.

These newly formed large-scale excavators have a certain ability to resist cold, but they are not as strong as the cortex of the aircraft carrier. If any one is too cold, Lin will let it go back to the aircraft carrier to rest for a while.

The serrated surface of the large excavator is about the same hardness as the cortex of an aircraft carrier. Lin knew that the hardness alone could not resist the cold. There must be some secrets in it.

Several diggers have dug a channel in the ice layer, and Lin plans to start digging down to a place with sand grains to see where the other wild cells are hiding.

Just when it was about to dig down, suddenly, the ice crystals in front of it shook slightly, and at the same time, countless cracks appeared on the ice wall.

what is this? Is the ice melting?

No, that's not how the ice melts, it feels like some huge force is shaking the entire ice sheet.

'click...'

The vibration once again created numerous cracks, and Lin felt that she should retreat back to the aircraft carrier.

Lin could feel that there was something else, some kind of huge thing being excavated here.
