Chapter 38 Good Night

The 'Greening the Seabed' project has been expanding since Lin decided to start it. It covers a large underwater area, and many areas that were originally gray sandy beaches or rocks have been dyed a layer of green.

This layer of green is called 'green carpet' by Lin, and they spread all over the places where there is light between several bases. In fact, Lin has no sub-bases anymore. They are all integrated together to form a huge and incomparable base.

Lin doesn't care how long it takes. This behavior will allow her to gain endless energy, but it will have a lot of impact on the surrounding environment.

The green carpet usually does not cover some fixed creatures, such as corals, etc. Lin will avoid them, but there are also many creatures, especially those who like to drill in the sand, will be directly covered by Lin.

But they did not disappear, but changed their way of life - living directly on Lin's green carpet, they made some small cracks in the outermost transparent shell of the green carpet to hide, or directly built belongings on it. own nest.

There are also some creatures like leafworms, which stick to the green carpet with their stalks, and those who specialize in sand drilling, such as scallops, have completely left the area covered by the green carpet.

At first, Lin would use troops to drive or kill these creatures living on the green carpet, but after a period of time, Lin stopped doing this. As long as they did not block too much light, Lin generally ignored them. The creatures in the nest, Lin will let the green blanket cover directly, but not block their nests. Under Lin's 'tolerance', and because the green blanket will release a lot of oxygen, more and more creatures gather on it.

As for some creatures that try to get into the green carpet shell and eat the photosynthetic cells inside, Lin will kill them without hesitation.

This feels very good, in case anything happens, these creatures are also Lin's reserve food.

The covering of the green carpet is a very long process. Lin did not travel during this process, and how many years have passed since it was completed?

Lin did not record these. During this period, she had been thinking about various issues in her mind and conducting some research.

Lin also acquired some new words, including adjectives for size. Lin used to compare it with one of her own units to confirm the size, but now it has a precise unit of length to describe an object.

They are basically mixed with the word 'meter', and usually one is ten times as long as the previous one. When the latter is a thousand times larger, the word "meter" will be changed to "kilometer". It feels very troublesome, but it is applicable.

For example, 100,000 cells can form a sphere that can be described as 'millimeter', and a sphere composed of 100,000 cells is about one millimeter. However, according to the size and density of the constituent cells, even the same number of cells will have big difference.

However, the millimeter is already larger than all single cells, and even the largest amoeba is only about 70% of it.

The current diameter of Leviathan is about one meter. Among the common creatures here, it is very huge. Among the creatures that Lin has seen, only ice crystal monsters and giant traps exceed this size.

As for Lin's 'green carpet', they may be the largest creatures, and the area they cover may be dozens of kilometers, but Lin did not calculate.

However, Lin didn't have an accurate size to describe an entire area, as if the 'diameter' was not suitable, because that should describe a round object.

But don't worry so much about this little problem...

Lin doesn't plan to spread the green carpet further. Lin plans to let Leviathan travel again to see which area is suitable for spreading further there, or lay down the seeds of the base there, and then expand a new green carpet.

But recent research has made Lynn change her plan. About ultraviolet rays, Lynn has discovered a great thing.

The land above the water belongs to the field of air, and most of these air are not oxygen, but some other strange gases,

Among them is a gas that can be used to combine light, and most of these gases do not have any blocking effect on ultraviolet light.

However, if the oxygen released by the green blanket and other wild light-eating cells is irradiated by ultraviolet rays for a long time, it will become another strange gas, and has a blocking effect on ultraviolet rays. Although it is not completely blocked, it can make ultraviolet rays The effect is weakened and becomes ineffective.

But the small amount of oxygen will soon be blown away by other gases, so Lin has an idea, what if the amount of oxygen is very large and mixed into the entire land? How will that change?

It seems to be a ridiculous idea, because the space outside is so huge, but Lin knows that the oxygen released will not escape, but will always be mixed with other gases, so as long as there is enough time, maybe it can...

Therefore, Lin plans to wait, it may sleep for a while, like in the oxygen crisis, but this time the motivation is the opposite of before, when it was to wait for the oxygen to disappear, and now it is to wait for the oxygen to fill the whole world.

However, Lin's main purpose is to evolve. Most of its evolution methods are to learn other creatures, but now it has seen quite a few creatures, and it is almost impossible to find those who can improve itself. Of course, Lin can go on a trip to see Look at other areas, but Lin still wants to stay here temporarily to observe the changes in the creatures.

Other organisms will also evolve. Through the research of placing eyeballs in some flat fish, Lin found that the cells in their bodies will combine new structures according to different situations, or add some new functions to the original structures, etc., but these reactions It's quite slow, and Helin's ability to quickly combine new units is completely incomparable...

But these evolutions are generated by biological cells. Whether it is a brain or a brainless creature, it can think about the surrounding environment, and then respond to its changes and then make changes. Although it is slow, it is very effective. A perfect corresponding plan, but the ability to deal with mutations is quite poor.

Lin's cells also have this ability, but Lin prefers to directly synthesize or learn from other organisms.

The brains of other organisms seem to be solely responsible for allowing organisms to respond quickly to the environment, but not for controlling their own evolution, so evolutionary responses are still quite slow.

Under this slow change, individuals become different, but some organisms have a special method of 'combining', where the cells released by two different flatfish are combined, and this cell divides and grows into a new one. The new flatfish may inherit the advantages of the first two flatfish, and sometimes even have new powerful abilities.

This seems to be called 'sexual reproduction', and it feels very interesting. Some other creatures, such as jellyfish, etc., use a method very similar to division, so the new individual can only inherit the advantages of one individual, not like the flat The fish can inherit the advantages of both individuals.

However, Lin thinks her evolution is stronger because it doesn't require the exchange of information between cells.

For example, if Lin's cells in an area have undergone some kind of evolution, she can immediately use her thoughts to cause all cells to evolve accordingly, no matter how far they are, without touching them.

Lin's thoughts seem to have an impact on the evolution of cells, but the effect is not complete. It seems that the most basic thing is to obtain the corresponding information. Lin must understand that evolution, which is of great help to the evolution of its own cells. Lin understands it first. Because of the principle of photosynthesis, cells can quickly combine light-absorbing substances. If cells are allowed to combine themselves, it may take millions of years before they can respond.

In short, there are many complex secrets inside.

So Lin now not only intends to be silent for a while to fill the land with oxygen, but also wants to observe the evolution of other creatures, and finally figure out the secret of evolution...

How many years will this take?

Maybe a long time...

In order not to be bored, Lin will enter a state similar to sleep, but its troops and eyeballs will still continue to work, record the changes around them, and when they have undergone great changes, Lin will wake up.

Or what happens around, such as tsunamis, faults, or lava, etc., Lin will also wake up, but Lin thinks that it already has such a huge area, and these things will not have a great impact on it.

At the main base on land, Lin had already surrounded it with a carapace, and it would constantly check the air environment and notify Lin when the ultraviolet rays were not so strong.

The existence of the green carpet allows Lynn to never have to worry about food, unless the world loses its daylight.

Now, just wait for the world to change...

When you wake up again, what will you see?

Because the green carpet covers a large area of ​​sand or rocks, many creatures have lost the sand and gravel they originally hid in. When they find themselves exposed to danger, they will need faster speed and greater strength, which can stimulate their evolution.

Most organisms now feed on single cells floating in water, but gradually they began to increase in size and could not satisfy the phagocytosis of single cells, so they had more powerful power and targeted other multicellular organisms.

The preyed creatures also grow harder carapaces and body shapes. This relationship allows them to constantly grow in competition with each other. Coupled with various environmental factors such as cold and heat, the creatures in the future will definitely be very different.

Finally, what will change?

I won't know until Lin wakes up……………………………………………………………………Thanks to Shengyang Fish~1888~Thanks~Soul Seeker~Big I am a reward~ I think, think, think~ PS: There will be more after the 13th~
