Chapter 22 Base

The basic construction of the base has been completed. It is on the top of the boulder and has occupied more than 90% of the entire plane.

The outermost ring is a circle of long, flat tentacles called giant shield tentacles, which are covered with carapace and can bend inward if necessary to protect the entire base.

The second ring is a circle of tentacles full of needle-punching cells responsible for intercepting swimming single cells and defense bases.

Near the center are the food sacs responsible for absorbing food, the 'refinery' that divides and combines shell substances, and the storage compartments that store fat cells. They are all oval sac-like organs, each half the size of an aircraft carrier.

The most central position is the 'breeding cabin' responsible for generating cells and various troops, which is twice the size of an aircraft carrier. The outer skin is covered with strong armor and huge tentacles. core,

Although it is the core, it has the simplest structure. It is mainly responsible for the continuous division of basic cells. The main way for Lin to produce troops is to create basic cells, and then make them into various cell combinations, or combine and mutate, As long as the combination is done the first time, the cells will automatically complete the process.

The rest is the structure for cultivating green cells, which Lin calls cultivating umbrellas. They are a wide circular platform supported by a cylindrical shell made of carapace, on which are placed full green cells. The structure is great for absorbing light, and there are three cultivating umbrellas that cover almost half of the base.

There is a huge lantern in the center of each cultivating umbrella, because Lin found that it is not only the light of the day, but also the light that it emits, the green cells can also absorb it. Although the efficiency is relatively low, it can make them continue in the dark night. produce nutrients.

Tiny blood vessels covered the entire platform, connecting every tentacle and organ. Lin canceled the previous idea of ​​building a large heart in the center, and added many small hearts to the blood vessels, which did not take up space and was easy to use.

In addition to these fixed structures, there are many wandering troops, mostly gas reservoirs, devourers and the like, responsible for cleaning up parasites in the base or going out to hunt.

After Lin made the carapace, she found that many wild unicellular or small multicellular organisms like to attach to the carapace. This behavior seems to be called 'parasitism', but for Lin it is just 'food delivery', because Lin does not Like other creatures that only have one individual appearance, Lin can create combined organisms of various sizes, from small viruses to large multicellular organisms, and nothing can be parasitic on Lin's body.

It's kind of funny.

The aircraft carrier is now floating above the base, and Lin usually keeps it parked on it, and is also responsible for generating troops. Occasionally, it may go out to hunt other large creatures, but usually the guardian is responsible for this kind of thing.

The construction base has lost a lot of fat cells. Although the original aircraft carrier has a considerable amount of fat, it has even reached the point where many aircraft carriers can be combined, but it is almost exhausted, but Lin feels that it should be able to quickly replenish it.

Moreover, Lin has to form a new combination, a combination that can travel far away.

It has to have great abilities, agile movements, a huge body to fit in various organs, and a small army of its own.

Its function is similar to an aircraft carrier, but Lin wants to make a new shape... What should it look like?

Sure enough, it should be streamlined to swim quickly in the water. Indeed, no matter how much you want a new shape, you should give priority to performance.

If you make an elliptical streamline and swim with pure water jet motion, the speed will be quite fast, but this shape is not suitable for long tentacles.

Maybe the disc shape is good...like a jellyfish, with tentacles underneath, which makes it easy to prey or grab anything, but the speed may be much slower.

But better than no tentacles... so decide.

Lin's nutrients are not enough now.

But its structure is basically well thought out. The main body is a wide disc, half the thickness of the aircraft carrier, and the diameter of the disc is about twice the length of the aircraft carrier. The whole is covered with a hard shell of a certain hardness. The size is fixed and will gradually increase in the future.

The edge of the disc is covered with a circle with a total of 30 movable water jets, which can swim in any direction. There is a large water suction port in the center of the upper layer of the disc, which can quickly inhale the water, and then pass through the inner water. The muscle tube squeezes to the water jet for fast swimming.

The upper level also opened many passage exits, mainly used to release the troops in the body.

After that, six huge tentacles stretched out from the lower layer of the disc. Lin didn't want to get those thin and weak tentacles like a jellyfish. This kind of tentacle is composed of a large number of muscle cells, and the end is a mouth, which is covered with The barb-shaped teeth composed of the strongest shell material at present are not only suitable for tearing prey of the same size, but also can pull creatures such as scallops out of the sand.

Then there is the basic cardiovascular structure, the refining plant, airbags, eyes and lanterns, etc. This is very simple,

And as for its name...

Let's call it 'Leviathan'.

What does this word mean? Lin didn't know either, it seemed to symbolize some kind of huge thing swimming in the sea.

Lin's base will not change its position if there is no situation, and it will basically be in a state of immobility, while the 'Leviathan' will travel all the time, and Lin will rely on it to know this boundless water world.

If the Leviathan is killed, Nalin will build a new base at the base, and if the base is destroyed, the Leviathan will be responsible for building a new base.

Of course, Lin didn't want it to happen either way.

Leviathan's usual unit without an aircraft carrier has its own gas storage unit, and Lin intends to build a new unit to use for Leviathan, although it is very powerful in itself.

The troops brought by Leviathan must mainly include various abilities that it does not have, and it must also be responsible for delivering food to Leviathan. Lin will not let the main body eat food directly.

So, since the nutrients are not enough to build Leviathan, let's get the nutrients first.

From the base above the boulder, Lin can easily look around the surrounding waters. There are many creatures she is familiar with, such as flatworms, leafworms, scallops, jellyfish, starfish, tube worms, etc. There are also quite a number of them in the water. of single cells.

In just one day and night, Lin was almost able to build a Leviathan.

The hunt... let's go!

In this water area, there are no creatures that can resist Lin. They are easily converted into nutrients by Lin, and they are very easy in the process of nutrient collection.

One thing is that Lin is very strange. After coming out of the ice layer, Lin has never encountered Buckler worms. Is this kind of creature very rare? Or is there any other reason?

Lin did not continue to think about it, but focused her attention on hunting again.

Lin didn't stop until it was dark. This time, Lin also clearly saw the biological changes between day and night. Most creatures would hide in the sand at night, while dark worms and some small arthropods appeared at this time. .

It is much more difficult to hunt in the night than in the daytime, but Lin still relies on the lantern in the center of the 'cultivation umbrella' to continuously illuminate the green cells to obtain nutrients.

Leviathan is also in the continuous combination. Because it is too big, it is not combined in the breeding cabin of the base, but is formed directly in the water. In order to prevent it from sinking during the combination process, Lin also specially made a lot of airbags to support it. the weight of.

When the day came again... Leviathan was almost finished, and at this moment, a strange creature appeared on the edge of Lin's base.

It should have climbed up the stone wall. At first glance, this creature looks like a round shield worm, but its body is about half smaller. It has a semicircular shield-shaped head like a round shield worm, but the rear body is different from The round shield worm has a long threaded tail, but a carapace almost as thick as the head, with striped continuous protrusions, many arthropods under the body, and the end is a spike instead of a pincer.

"Trilobite."

The word came to Lin's mind the first time she saw the creature.

It seems to be a very interesting creature, although the name feels strange, and it does not feel similar to itself.

Then use it as a nourishment to celebrate the birth of Leviathan!

Leviathan is now assembled. It activates the water spray holes around its body. The huge body slowly floats up and swims towards the trilobites dangling on the tentacles of the giant shield outside the Lin base.

When Leviathan approached the opponent, it suddenly sucked water and accelerated, rushed towards the trilobite, bit the head and tail of the insect with two huge mouth tentacles under him, and held it to a high place. .

Then, Leviathan's tentacles slammed in the opposite direction at the same time, and the trilobite's body was instantly torn off by it, and a large blue liquid composed of cells and tissues gushed out from the cross-section and floated in the water.

The power is good, although the shell of this trilobite seems to be brittle.

Lin is very satisfied with Leviathan's ability, so let's go now and head towards the endless sea!
