Chapter 16 The Evolution of the Hard Shell

The water surface is slowly getting lower...

It is getting closer and closer to Lin, Lin can clearly feel the pain on the cortex, the light of the day is destroying its cells and hurting its life.

Lin wanted to run away, but couldn't find her way.

That row of boulders was actually a huge ring shape, and they just encircled all the crystals and trapped Lin at the same time.

Inanimate objects, their positions should be irregular, why do they form a ring so exactly? It was night when Lin came, and her field of vision was limited in the darkness. It didn't notice the weirdness of this area at that time, otherwise Lin would definitely hesitate.

It was too late to regret it now, the lowering of the water level left Lin with nowhere to go. She had to face the threat of ultraviolet rays directly.

Fortunately, Lin was not unprepared.

Ultraviolet, Lin just knows the word and knows that it can kill cells, but doesn't know what it actually is. The eyeball doesn't seem to be able to see ultraviolet, and Lin now thinks that ultraviolet should be a kind of light, or it should be brought about by light Some kind of lethal thing, so it just needs to be protected from light.

Lin has seen that some types of cells can produce a peculiar, liquid or solid substance in the body, which can reflect, interfere, scatter, or absorb light. The word is 'pigment'.

Although the mechanism of its production is unknown, pigments are indeed very effective on light. For example, green cells should rely on pigments to absorb light energy.

But Lin's cells can't make green, it only has black, white, gray, and 'transparent' without pigment. During the experiment, Lin found that 'white' is the most suitable for reflecting light.

Under Lin's thoughts, the cortical cells began to slowly turn white. At this time, Lin could feel that the pain in the cortex was significantly reduced. Then Lin quickly repaired the damage to the cortex and covered them completely. A layer of white.

At the same time, Lin created a layer of white shell above the tentacles' eyeballs, so that the eyeballs could continue to observe the surroundings without being hurt by the light.

After this series of changes, the light could hardly hurt Lin's cortex, but the water surface continued to decrease. Without the protection of water, the ultraviolet rays might be able to instantly destroy Lin's cortex, even if it turned white.

Now Lin can only swim to the top of a rock crack. If the water level drops to a certain level, Lin will open a channel under the aircraft carrier, allowing the cells and devourers in her body to swim into the crack to avoid danger.

The guardian's hard shell makes it completely unaffected, which makes Lin more willing to evolve a similar hard shell.

Lin's sledgehammer is composed of hard cells, which is somewhat different from the hard shell composed of acellular cells. Lin hopes to make this non-cellular, thick and hard composition.

After Lin's research on some shell creatures, she found that although the shells of these creatures have different degrees of softness and hardness, they are all composed of very similar substances. Powder or liquid, if glandular cells cover the cortex in large quantities, various hard shells will be formed.

The water level was still slowly dropping, and Lin could feel the pain that could be called 'burning' returning slowly. The troops and cells in the body are ready to escape.

However, the water came to a halt when it dropped to a short distance from the carrier.

Are you all right?

Lin didn't dare to take it lightly, it didn't know whether the water level would rise or fall next, and it quickly began to perform the next action, evolving into 'glandular cells'.

It is not difficult to make gland cells. The question is, what is the substance inside the gland cells that can dissolve the cells and reassemble them into a solid shell to cover the cortex?

Perhaps the answer lies in the cells' usual food.

Since it is a non-cellular substance, it should be obtained from food,

Maybe the 'white paste' that Lin ate before was mixed with substances that can produce carapace.

Of course, it doesn't have to be white paste. Lin has seen other wild cells devour various things, such as debris on sand, powder on rocks, etc. Perhaps the key to making carapace is mixed in it.

Lin opened the opening under the aircraft carrier and dispatched a large number of explosive balls to let them search for various similar substances in the cracks of the rocks. After swallowing them, Lin asked them to try to dissolve these substances in their bodies and cover them outside. on the membrane.

Now there is no choice but to wait. As long as the water level does not continue to drop, Lin will soon be able to successfully create a hard shell.

In fact, Lin should have tried to make a hard shell earlier, but because there was no situation, and the power of the hammer was sufficient, so she never made a hard shell.

The blasting balls swim between the dark cracks in the rock, and Lin makes some small swallowers follow them. As long as they see suitable substances, the blasting balls will swallow them and dissolve and reorganize them in the body. It becomes a suitable shape to cover the body.

Lin doesn't know what the specific transformation process is in the cell body, but the cells will run automatically, and Lin only needs to give them the thoughts to execute.

In the cracks of the rock, Lin asked the Bombballs to find a lot of things that seemed to be able to make carapace, tiny gravel, black sticky matter, scraps scraped from the rock, and the solution of the Blastball could dissolve most of the sand and sand. Debris, but after successfully dissolving it, Lynn found that the cells could not reorganize it completely.

Because both sand and debris are composed of a variety of different substances, some of which can destroy the possibility and integrity of the overall reorganization.

Lin calls these parts that destroy the integrity of the whole as 'impurities' and needs to be removed from them. This is a very troublesome process, because Lin's cells don't seem to understand the idea of ​​'removing impurities', so Lin has to do it herself.

Lin's mind can perfectly control every part of a cell from the core to the outer membrane, but it has never tried to directly manipulate the synthesis system in the cell body, so this is a very long and complicated process.

The synthetic system in the cell is a rather complicated thing, and there is no vision inside, so Lin can't observe the situation inside, but there is a 'feeling', like a sense of touch, Lin can feel it if she needs it The 'tactile sensation' of different objects that come into contact with internal structures of cells.

Relying on this strange ability, Lin can carry out the work of expelling impurities.

Lynn believes she can succeed.

Just as Lin was trying to remove the impurities, some uninvited guests appeared in the surrounding water. These flat creatures suddenly appeared in this water in large numbers. They quickly swam in the water, swallowing rocks and cracks. Wild cells and small creatures shot to death by ultraviolet light everywhere.

These are flatworms, Lynn found that they became a little different, each flatworm was covered with a layer of sand, and they seemed to secrete a sticky substance on the surface of the body, so that the sand sticks to the body to protect the body from UV rays exposure to them.

It turns out that they didn't escape before, but went to the beach to stick with sand and then swim back?

There are many gaps between the ring-shaped boulders that trapped Lin, and the size of the flatworm can completely drill through.

The flatworm's mouth is perfect for swallowing all kinds of cells, including Lynn's blasting ball in a rock crevice.

Lin is now doing the job of removing impurities for the blasting balls. Once it is successful, the blasting balls will be able to remove impurities by themselves in the future.

But it's a slow process, and the flatworms have already started to swim around Lin's aircraft carrier, they burrowed into the crevices of the rock, and began to hunt Lin's blaster!

Lin dispatched the injector, and only the injector's water spray device could catch up with these fast-swimming flatworms.

Once the flatworm is hit by the injector's needle, it will be injected with a large number of surgers, which is a one-hit kill for the small flatworm.

Flatworms use their flexible body to escape the injector, because it is difficult for the injector to turn during the sprint. Lin should add tentacles to them to control the direction of swimming... but there is no free time now!

When the chasing battle in the rock crevice started, Lin was also speeding up the work of removing impurities. It had already separated the various substances in the blasting sphere, and it was about to...success!

Lin successfully removed the useless impurities from the body of the explosion ball, and the remaining substances were successfully combined together. Lin asked the explosion ball to secrete it from the outer membrane, and successfully created a thin shell.

Now, its successful information has been passed to every blasting ball, and now all of Lin's blasting balls have this ability to dissolve and form carapace!

At this moment, Lin felt the burning pain again, and it found that the water surface had dropped a lot again...
