Chapter 318 Life in the Void
This is a distant world beyond the void.
Grey sandstorms raged in the air, countless grains of sand slammed against the shattered metal, and there was nothing moving on the endless grey plain. Down, everything was frozen in the cold.
It looks like an abandoned world, with some creatures running on this gray plain, but it's just an ethereal phantom.
On the huge body of the Void Iceberg, Lin looked down at the view of the tumbler, here... there is actually nothing.
The scavengers rummaging for food, the dust of hunting, and the leaves lurking in the ground... all of this is not real.
These creatures only appear in the dreams that the spiral creatures showed Lin. In the actual environment, there are no creatures...
However, their environment is the same. This is a land that has been blowing sand and dust storms. There are countless metals and gravel on the ground, but under the exact same environment, there are only creatures in dreams.
When the spiral creature made the pom-pom see the dream environment, Lin also saw the scene in the real environment. When the two scenes were repeated, Lin mistakenly thought that there were creatures in the real world...
Usually, if Lin wants to enter the dream, she needs to go into a deep sleep state. At this time, she cannot observe the real world. She can only observe some places through some maps created in the dream.
But this time, when the spiral creature sent a message to the pom-pom, Lin did not directly enter a state of sleep, but used the pom-pom to directly convert its information into a real scene image.
This allows you to see reality and dreams without having to fall asleep. This is to prevent staying in the dream for too long like the last time I dealt with the creator. There is a problem of 'oversleep'.
But this time. But there is a new situation... When Lin was looking at the dream scene here, she also saw the same scene at the new tumbler who arrived at the iceberg of the void. When the two scenes overlapped, Lin found that she also saw it there. biology.
But Lin soon distinguished them, and what they saw there were only phantom-like things, and their movements were exactly the same as those in the spiral creature's dream.
It seems that this is the first time that this situation has occurred, and after distinguishing it, the phantoms seen on the Void Iceberg slowly disappeared.
Lin felt that this state might be used to represent the location of the dream. If Lin sees the same phantom in reality when she sees that dream,
That means that the place is the real place of the thing in the dream.
This situation can be used to investigate something later.
Having said that, since the Void Iceberg arrived at the same location in the information of the spiral creature, why is there no creature on it? Did something happen...?
Because the time in the spiral biological information may be a long time away from now... But now it seems that the environment has not changed.
Some of Lin's troops have climbed down from the Void Iceberg to explore this environment.
They are called 'simulated leeches', and they are the types created by Lin simulating the leeches in the iceberg in the void. These leeches can live in the iceberg without being attacked by immune creatures, but only in the outer area. It seems that there is a stronger recognition ability inside.
But the appearance of these arms has enabled Lin to float out of the void iceberg at any time to observe the tumbling people who have arrived.
'Iceberg Type 371', this is a rare tumbler.
Although not as biological as Rin expected. There is air, though, and these gases are unseen gases that are harmful to pom-pom creatures, but not to the point of immediate death.
There is no moisture in the air, nor any microorganisms, but a lot of debris, which is a bit like a storm on a blue moon, but the content of debris is not as much as the month...
If you look up on this earth, you can see the light and shadow of the sun in the floating dust, but it looks small and weak, and its light cannot illuminate the place.
It's probably too far away.
And how big is this place? Lin didn't know either, but the gravitational force should be quite small. The simulated leech could crawl on the ground in a fast wriggling manner, and it felt quite relaxed.
They searched for any possible creature among the shattered metal piles, but after the apparition disappeared, Lynn never saw these creatures again...
On the other side, in the dream generated by the information provided by the spiral creature, Lin could see a large number of creatures, countless scavengers running around in the debris, they looked like the dominant creatures in this place.
What Lin cares about is the form of these creatures. For example, the scavenger looks like a combination of several metal rods. Lin thinks they are very similar to...synthesis.
There should be a structure of 'ontology' in the metal rod with the spine as the center. Lin still doesn't know what it is like, but if it is the controller, it is impossible to live in such an environment.
And the spiral creature didn't seem to have any intention of explaining it. It just kept sending information to Lin, and Lin asked it a few questions.
"Where is your 'place of birth'?" "Are those creatures in it a construct?" "What did you do to the brave?"
For all of Lin's questions, the spiral creatures were silent and did not answer.
It seems that it sent this message to Lin after hesitating for a long time before deciding.
Since it doesn't answer, Lin can only investigate by herself, although I don't know if it will tell the truth...
This creature is very good at deception. It has always used various methods to prevent Lin from finding it. If you can know its emotions, it is very easy to know whether it is deceiving, but now I don't know anything, and it feels more troublesome.
However, it now seems to be more reluctant to answer than to cheat
Above the distant void, the simulated leech found something in the metal debris that looked like the body of a 'scavenger', a metal rod with a few legs around it.
Unfortunately, the metal rod was empty, but that seemed to be a matter of course.
The fossils left by ordinary creatures are skeletons, and some cellular information can be seen in the bones, but it seems impossible to have any information...
Lin believes that these are indeed creatures similar to constructs. The 'body' inside controls the outer shell composed of metal. They should be able to find the ingredients that make up the outer shell from the surrounding debris piles...
And their nutrients cannot be obtained from the debris, so they look for the kind of stone-like creatures.
This stone-like creature... seems to still be found here.
A simulated leech flipped open a pair of debris, and Lin found a hemispherical stone underneath, which was slowly moving.
This creature, Lin had seen before, was the kind of creature called a 'cold stone', which was surrounded by stones on the outside, and an extremely low-temperature liquid structure on the inside.
The main thing is...Lin used to see it at the first tumbler 'Iceberg Type 1' that arrived at the Void Iceberg, and here is 'Iceberg Type 371', I don't know how far away the two are. .
It is impossible for the same creatures to exist between the two places, and these cold stones may have been brought over by the Void Iceberg.
When the Void Iceberg touches the surface, some cold stones may be shaken up and bounced off the Void Iceberg. Although they move slowly, they have strong gripping abilities, so they may be taken to other tumbling people.
However, Lin believes that the origin of the 'cold stone' may not be the iceberg type 1, but here.
In the dream state in the information given by the spiral creature, the scavengers only eat cold stones, while other creatures feed on the scavengers. It can be said that the cold stones are the lowest creatures, and they support the ecological environment here.
Although she has not yet explored other parts of this tumbler, Lin believes that all creatures here should be like this, and their structures can use the 'cold stone' as a reference.
Therefore, this may be the origin of the cold stone, and all these creatures are similar to this structure.
They can only live in low temperatures, and if brought to a pom-pom, they may boil or even vaporize.
If the helical creature says it once lived in this kind of place, why is its structure completely different from the cold stone? Whether it's the composition of the interior, or something else...
As far as Lin has seen so far, the basic structure of the creatures in a tumbler is the same, like a pom-pom or a moon. Whether it is an atmospheric creature or a sponge, they are all composed of the same basic substances, and there has never been a particularly different substance. of creatures.
So the Spiral Creature should not be born in the Iceberg 371, but the Spiral Creature must have been to this place, otherwise it cannot give the same dream information as the real scene...
This creature is more and more suspicious.
Maybe it is also like a void iceberg, wandering in the void, its 'mother' created it at the Type 371 Tumbler, or it wants to hide the true birthplace, and finds a place in memory to say it.
There are too many possibilities, and it is very difficult to judge.
And now it seems that it won't say anything, so it can't know more details, the only clue is the large number of cells found in an oval object before the pom-pom...
Lin has parsed the nuclear information of some cells and compared the nuclear information of all cells that Lin has seen so far.
Lin has recorded the nuclear information of all the organisms she has encountered so far, and Lin has found that the nuclear information of these cells is very similar to that of an organism...
No, it should be said that it is exactly the same, but the outer skin is a little different.
Now, Lin can almost confirm what it is... (To be continued..)
