Chapter 25 Seeds
Huge plumes of smoke kept gushing out from the depths of the trench, and they rushed out of the trench and kept going up until they finally became more and more sparse and disappeared.
Lin thought it was a harmful substance that could not be approached and ran away, but the surrounding creatures reacted in the opposite way. Many small trilobites emerged from the beach and gathered near the crack of the trench. Food scattered smoke and dust.
Is this edible?
When Lin was wondering, it found many single-celled organisms, and some jellyfish were close to the smoke, but they did not enter the center, just swimming around the smoke column, Lin thought they were also collecting dust.
Maybe there is something edible in the smoke?
Lin is not surprised, after all, there are even creatures that eat up, but it would be great to be able to use such a huge amount of energy...
Leviathan has created a new type of unit called the 'Analyst', which has a round body, very similar to the Devourer, has a large mouth, but has no teeth in the mouth, but is full of tiny tentacles, these small tentacles. It is possible to analyze whether the substances exposed are harmful or beneficial to Lyn's cells.
Like the surrounding jellyfish, the analyst swallowed a lot of dust in the smoke, and then used the tentacles in his mouth to feel the ingredients inside.
Lin could feel from the tentacles of the analyst that some of these dusts were harmless and some were harmful, but not all cells that were harmless could digest it.
Lin's cells have different digestion abilities. For example, acid injectors or explosive balls can decompose quite a lot of substances, including many non-living substances, while basic cells can only digest other cells' debris or white paste.
Thinking about it, Lin hadn't seen Bai Gao for a long time...
Lin doesn't know the specific meaning of digestion. Her current research only knows that it should also be a process of decomposition to reorganization, using a certain substance in the body to dissolve the swallowed material, and then recombine it into the same composition as the body.
This process is very complicated, but the dissolved liquid in the acid injector and the blasting sphere obviously helped them improve their decomposition efficiency. After being able to use oxygen, Lin also found that cells sometimes use oxygen to decompose food.
Just like the dust in this smoke, it also needs to be mixed with oxygen to decompose.
The decomposed Mystic Lin still can't understand it, but it knows that these plumes of smoke gushing out of the trench are actually food that keeps gushing out!
They are so produced that there is no reason not to take them up.
Leviathan will not stop traveling, and the base does not have to come here, Lin can directly build a new base here.
Lin asked Leviathan to create a special thing in her body, which was called the 'Seed of the Base'.
This is a spheroid composed of 80% fat cells, 10% basal cells, and 10% gland cells. The basal cells inside can use fat cells to divide rapidly and grow into a small base.
Small bases remanufacture troops and capture food, and eventually grow into large bases.
This type of base is not the same as the original one, and will eventually grow into a triangular configuration, with all the organs contained within, and the outer skin protected by a hard shell.
Well, it's a really good plan...Lin decided to put a base seed in the nutrient-rich areas that she sees in the future.
If that base is thirsty, Lin will let the base decompose itself, and finally form a group of transporters to transport all the nutrients to the nearest base.
Leviathan put the seed of the base in the sand on the edge of the trench, and ate a few small trilobites nearby to prevent them from affecting the base.
The glandular cells of the seed of the base secrete a layer of chitin to surround the seed of the base, and then the basic cells inside begin to change. After the change is completed, the shell can be opened to release troops or extend tentacles.
When the base is about to grow, Lin will dissolve this shell and replace it with a larger shell.
It's a bit cumbersome, but provides a good degree of protection.
After the shell is secreted, there is hardly any damage, and the Leviathan can leave.
So where do you go next?
Leviathan slowly swam over the dark abyss of the ocean trench. What appeared in front of Lin was still a white sand beach. The looming boulders in the distance attracted Lin's attention.
Check it out there.
Leviathan's swimming speed is not fast, and Lin wanted to observe while swimming to see where there is a suitable place to put the seeds of the base.
The creatures on this beach are mostly starfish and sea anemones, nothing fancy.
There was still a distance from the boulders, and Lin began to speed up. At this time, it suddenly found that some small creatures with flat leaves were swimming around.
Is this a flatworm? It doesn't seem to be the same.
Lin found that these small creatures were similar in size to flatworms, but with longer bodies and rounded mouths with several sharp serrations on them.
It's called round-billed flatworm.
Lin ignored them at first, and continued to swim forward. After swimming for a while, it found that these round-billed flatworms were actually swimming with it, and the number was increasing.
It doesn't seem like things are going well...
Lin wanted to speed up, but the round-billed flatworms were much faster, and the Leviathan, which was too large, couldn't get rid of them at all. More round-billed flatworms swam from a distance. At this time, they had gathered thousands of them. .
Looking at the serrations on their mouths, Lin knew what these creatures wanted to do.
So Lin started first. It waved all the bite tentacles of Leviathan, and instantly bit several round-billed flatworms swimming beside, biting them into crumbs.
In an instant, all the round-billed flatworms came up!
Their round mouth is like a suction cup, and the round mouth flatworm will twist its body after sucking tightly, scraping the flesh of the target with its serrations.
Lin immediately launched a counterattack, and Leviathan waved his tentacles and bit the approaching round-mouthed flatworm.
These creatures don’t kill one like jellyfish and don’t care about the others. The round-billed flatworm seems to have a very strong sense of companionship. Once a companion is killed, they will desperately attack the target of killing the companion. Countless round-billed flatworms are sucked in Levi On Tan's tentacles, the shellless tentacles were suddenly scratched with countless scars.
Although Lin was able to instantly solidify the blood vessels at the wound to prevent the cells from gushing out in large numbers, the round-billed flatworm couldn't damage the carapace of Leviathan's body, so they attacked the tentacles together, and the tentacles would probably be torn apart.
Round-billed flatworms are very fast, and it is not easy for general troops to catch up with them, so that's all.
Lin quickly assembled a disc-shaped unit. Their bodies were covered with hard shells. There was a circle of curved blades on the edge of the disc. It could spin and swim rapidly by spraying water.
The troop opening on Leviathan opens, and it releases several flying saws. These new units that rotate and swim are even faster than round-billed flatworms. They are also very efficient in killing enemies. The flying saws only need to rotate. Rush into the flatworm swarm with its body, and can easily use the curved blades around its body to turn them into countless pieces.
Countless wreckage and flatworm cells floated in the water, and the round-nosed flatworm swarm was crushed by the attack of the flying saw. They were unable to damage the hard shell of the flying saw, so there was no way to fight back, so they began to retreat and flee.
Although the round-billed flatworms attacked extremely unitedly, they scattered and fled in all directions when retreating, but Lin thought this was a more effective means of escape, which prevented it from chasing them all at once.
Lin did not chase, but recovered the flying saw, released the collectors to eat the remains of the round-billed flatworms around, and repaired the scars on the tentacles at the same time.
These things seem pretty smart.
Previously, the flatworms Lynn encountered would build boulder circles, but now these will attack in groups.
Do they have any special secrets about them?
Lin studied a relatively complete remains of a round-billed flatworm, and found that the ganglia in their heads are particularly large. It seems that this can no longer be called a 'ganglion', but a new word to describe this structure.
"brain".
In addition, this round-billed flatworm, like the previous flatworm, has a cylindrical body composed of shell matter that extends from head to tail.
Lin has never understood why they put their shells inside their bodies? Is it just taking a place there?
There is also a new word used to describe this structure.
"Spine".
