Chapter 10 Creatures of the Desert in the Sea
In front of you is an endless beach, open water, and countless strange multicellular creatures on the sand, and behind you is a thick layer of ice, which is estimated to have nothing but ice-dissolving bacteria.
What is Lynn going to do? go ahead? Or step back?
Lin didn't know the capabilities of these multicellular creatures. After all, it lost a lot when facing the Buckler worm, but Lin didn't want to back off. This might be an opportunity for evolution, and Lin needed food.
These creatures don't seem to move, but they are fixed on the sand. Lin may be able to find one that looks easy to deal with and kill them.
However, Lin didn't know which one was better to deal with, and the size was not the point. The most obvious example was the virus, which was so small but so terrifying.
These multicellular creatures are large in size, and you can get a lot of food by killing just one Lin.
Thinking, Lin's aircraft carrier began to swim, it floated above these biomes, its tentacles with eyeballs looking for the target below.
In the end, Lin targeted a creature standing in the sand. The creature's body was round and flat, the length was the same as Lin's aircraft carrier, but the thickness was only about the same as the cortex of the aircraft carrier. It was inserted into the sand with a round handle. , supporting the elongated body to sway in the water. After Lin approached this time, it was indeed clear that it was capturing those cells that were washed by the current.
Lin planned to call it a 'leaf bug', although Lin didn't know what a 'leaf' was, but it felt like it was very suitable for it.
The body surface of the leafworm has a striped structure, and the gaps between the stripes are covered with a large number of flagella. If a single cell that swims collides with, it will be caught by the flagella, and then pulled in and eaten.
Lin felt that this creature was a bit like her former self, fixed on a rock, catching creatures swimming by, and living a passive and boring life.
Sure enough, it was right to give up that kind of life. You can't move like this, you can only be hunted.
The aircraft carrier slowly approached the Leaf Insect. After Lin confirmed that the opponent had no counterattack ability, she raised the hammer-shaped tentacles and slammed the Leaf Insect.
However, this squat-looking bug withstood the attack. It didn't even bend, it still stood motionless in the sand, and the stripes on its body didn't appear to be damaged in the slightest. It's just that the flagella on top has shrunk in.
Really hard, so that's why they don't move? It seems that, like the round shield worm, the leaf worm is covered with a very solid hard shell, but unlike the mobile round shield worm, the leaf worm has no joints and no mouth, and the flagella that it eats indents into the shell. After that, it becomes a creature without weakness.
However, Lin's hammer can't only be knocked once. With the continuous supply of blood vessels, it can quickly and continuously swing the tentacles. The hammer hits the surface of the leafworm again and again. Down, the leafworm finally couldn't stabilize its body and began to shake.
Leafworms really don't have any counter-attack ability, and can only use hard shells to resist external attacks. Other creatures may give up when they can't bite. It hits harder.
In the end, the shell of the leafworm could not stand Lin's hammer, and cracks appeared on the body surface, and some cells inside flowed out from the cracks.
Lin's Devourer immediately dispatched, engulfing all of these outflowing cells without leaving a single one.
Then, Lin continued to attack the crack, making the wound there bigger and more cells gushing out.
Lin felt a little strange, these cells have no attack ability, why do they flow out of it? If the outer skin of the aircraft carrier Lin is torn, the cells inside the aircraft carrier will never leak out. Even if it is a blood vessel, Lin can stop the beating of the heart so that the contents inside will not flow out.
But other multicellular organisms... don't seem to be able to control their own cell flow?
How strange.
Lynn doesn't care that much,
He continued to hammer the leaf insect's shell. Although Lin's hammer was also damaged, Lin continued to attack without caring. It was a simple matter to repair anyway.
The shell of the leafworm is not as hard as the round shield worm, and it is an immobile sandbag. Under Lin's attack, the cracks in the shell become more and more, and the shell on the surface gradually begins to be smashed and fall off. The soft multicellular structure was exposed before Lin's eyes.
Um? Sandbags? Seems like a fun word.
While thinking, Lin let the devourers move out, biting the structure of the leafworm, turning everything into the nutrients for Lin's growth.
Lin found that leafworms also have structures similar to blood vessels, but they do not have the 'pump' of the heart, but drive the water flow through the constant movement of a kind of tentacle-like cells in the blood vessels. Somatic cells, or simple combinations, in general, there is nothing for Lynn to learn...
The only useful thing about the leafworm for Lynn is that it can be eaten.
Lin's devourer quickly ate all the leafworms, leaving only a pile of broken shells. Although the leafworms are long but flat, eating one is not enough, but eating another Lin is enough to revive the Buckler worm. .
After recovering the full devourers and repairing the wound on the hammer, Lin began to look around, looking for the next target again.
Um?
Lin suddenly noticed something in the shape of a disc on the sand in front of her.
Is this biological?
Lin swam over and carefully observed this thing. This disc-shaped east and west surface has spiral stripes. It is only half the size of Lin's aircraft carrier, but the bottom half is buried in the sand. I don't know the exact size, although it looks like it should be It's a creature, but Lin has never seen it move, and doesn't know how it preys.
Knock and see?
The giant hammer that Lin swung slammed into the disc, and the disc remained motionless, but Lin felt the pain rebounding from the tentacles of the hammer.
The hardened hammer-shaped front end of the tentacles could not be felt, but Lin could still feel pain, which meant that the muscle cells inside the tentacles had been damaged by the shock.
How hard does this thing have to be to have this effect? In short, it is not as hard as a leaf worm. This disc is even much harder than the head shield of a round shield worm.
A strong thought instantly appeared in Lin's mind.
What is this thought like? Lin didn't know how to describe it, but it knew that when she hit the leaf insect's shell before, Lin's thoughts would have a kind of 'possible smash' and 'hopeful' thoughts.
When she hit this disc-shaped creature, Lin's thoughts instantly came to the idea of 'no hope' and 'it will never be broken', even if she knocked the hammer to pieces, it would be impossible to make a crack on it.
But Lin didn't continue the experiment, how did it know that it would produce such a result?
By the way, the word is called 'computational power', right?
As long as there is a first time, it is possible to imagine what the final result will be based on the information obtained initially.
It feels good, Lynn may have had this ability a long time ago, but it's only now that she really realizes it.
Lin gave up and continued to attack the disc. Although it might be possible to dig it out, there are still many leafworms around, so it's not worth Lin's wasting time here.
Lin swam to a smaller leafworm nearby and started the continuous hammering attack again. Soon, this sandbag would also become Lin's nutrient.
This beach is full of leafworms, which is a wonderful place for Lin. If you eat them, it will be more efficient than eating those single cells, and these sandbags will not fight back or move at all. It seems that There aren't any other predators like the Buckler Worm, it just doesn't get any better!
Lin will use the resources here to further grow and evolve. As long as she is strong to a certain extent, she will no longer be afraid of other predators.
Lin, who thought so, didn't seem to notice that something was wriggling in the sand below the aircraft carrier...
