Chapter 493: When you're full, you change
The characteristic of Z worms is that they are highly adaptable, but in essence, they are actually "no matter how much they toss, they will not die" and "try their best to change to try all possibilities". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoZhao Mai has always had a thought, the so-called evolution is "as long as you can survive, you are not afraid to make mistakes, keep learning and changing to live better", and created Z worm with this.
Z-worms are able to adapt to their surroundings on their own, but that is only passive. Zhao Mai can also take the initiative to let it learn from those who have won in evolution and complement each other's strengths. However, the evolution from intraplanetary creatures to cosmic creatures is too large, so Zhao Mai must personally guide and make a choice.
Pooling all of Nature's Force and psychic abilities will help Z-worm introduce the spaceship's energy-feeding organs into its own cells, combining with its existing mitochondria and chlorophyll to form a new energy supply. The "engine" that can provide energy to spaceship-level creatures is installed on the Z worm, a creature that can only wriggle, causing its cells to be unable to withstand this huge amount of energy and collapse in batches. Z worm twitched and screamed, arching back and forth in Zhao Mai's palm, indicating that he was very hurt.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take care of and treat you. Zhao Mai patiently examined the burned wreckage, and found some surviving cells that had not been burned, so he helped them divide and proliferate, making up for the lack of their previous body.
Then came the second round of fusion, the third round, the fourth round...... The continuous circulation and advancement are like big waves washing away impurities, leaving behind the most essential part. Zhao Mai empathized with the pain again and again, and made progress again and again, which also made him rejoice - this is the process that life must go through.
Fortunately, Z bugs are designed for this condition, endure pain and survive, and then bloom with brilliant light. After half a day and countless iterations, the Z worm finally learned to fuse the cells of the spaceship creatures and use it as part of its own cellular symbiosis. At the same time, the cells of the Z worm also transformed the energy organs of the spaceship creatures, allowing him to form an organic whole with mitochondria, chlorophyll, etc. At this point, all that remains is how to carry out the full body replacement and prepare for Zhao Mai's evolution.
It rested a little, and began the great renewal of the cells in its whole body under Zhao Mai's order. The Z-worm spits out white silk from its mouth, wraps itself in it, and waits for it to harden. When the secretory tissue fluid is soaked in itself, it begins to change from both inside and outside the body at the same time. Zhao Mai grasped the insect cocoon in his hand and continued to provide it with the natural force, consuming his own energy to supply it.
"Half the battle. "The constant supply of the Force of Nature makes him hungry, and the only way to do this is to keep eating. Zhao Mai left the bridge and came to an uninhabited corner and began to eat the wreckage of the ghost ship, the bitter and sour taste filling his mouth. He needs high-calorie food, not this approximate "building" material. Even if he has improved his ability to digest food, his energy conversion rate is too low, and he can only keep stuffing things into his mouth to eat, which is definitely a torture for a long time.
The clattering sound of chewing was chilling to the bottom of my heart, and although Zhao Mai tried his best to suppress it, it was still captured by Diana's keen hearing. "Your face is so bad, it's already starting to turn blue, what are you busy doing in front?" Diana looked at him very worriedly, in her impression, Zhao Mai always seemed to like tossing himself, and this time was the most.
"I'm thinking about how to generate enough energy to power magic and psychic abilities. Without these two, the ship would not have been repaired. Zhao Mai filled his stomach and finally felt better, and explained to Diana: "Specifically, I am imitating this ghost spaceship and learning how it generates energy. When the cocoon is broken, I am halfway done, and the remaining half is to transform myself. ”
"What are you going to do, transform yourself, is this safe?" Diana had a very worried look on her face: "What will you turn yourself into?
"Haha, your imagination is quite rich, but you guessed wrong. Zhao Mai said to Diana: "It definitely won't be a spaceship, but what kind of changes will be, I still have to see the changes of the Z worm after this cocoon is broken." It stands to reason that I've just added a symbiotic stable organ to the cell, so it shouldn't change much......"
"You're not sure yourself?And you're going to experiment on yourself?" Diana grabbed Zhao Mai's shoulders with both hands, stared into his eyes and said, "Mike, I'm worried about your state right now. Although you can transform into various creatures, you can't disrespect life. God created you and molded you into the way you are, and you don't have to change it. You are not God, and such actions are beyond your power. ”
"Thanks, I know the risks, that's why I built this thing. Zhao Mai spread out his palms and showed her the Z worm that was wriggling in the cocoon. Diana narrowed her eyes and could see that the Z worm inside had almost melted, leaving only the wriggling core, like a snake corrupted by acid. "This ...... You're going to be like this, and you're going to be like that, and you're going to be like that, and you're going to
"Possibly. Zhao Mai shrugged his shoulders: "I need a lot of nutrients in case I need them." So maybe a big meal, and a real big meal. You'll have to help me find enough to eat from outside. ”
"You...... You're still going to eat corpses?" Diana's face was full of shock, "No, you can't do that. You are a civilized person, you can't do such barbaric things! And eating corpses and reforming yourself is an evil path!"
"It's not that serious. I only eat the flesh of the dead, neither alive nor rotten. I've had a few vomiting sessions before, but I've also prepared a microbiota that can digest those foods through Z-worms. If it weren't for the lack of energy, I would have wanted to eat it after it was cooked. I'm just a wide range of recipes, and I'm not perverted, and I'm not evil, right?"
Diana frowned, although she couldn't find a reason to refute Zhao Mai's words, she always felt that this was wrong. A person who is already preparing to eat a space battleship, is that still a human being?
She suspected that Zhao Mai's thoughts had something to do with his ability to transform into an undead creature. In the eyes of the undead, life is nothing more than moving flesh and blood, nothing more, and there is no difference. But normal living creatures don't think like this, and don't classify everything into just "edible" and "inedible". Diana was taught to "love humans" as a demigod since she was a child, but Zhao Mai continued like this and began to gradually break away from the category of human beings.
"I don't support you doing this, I won't help you. Diana finally shook her head: "If it weren't for the fact that I still liked you and still retained the last trust in you, I would definitely stop you from doing this." I'm not sure right now if you're crazy or overly smart, I'll keep an eye on you. ”
Zhao Mai was a little disappointed, but he still nodded: "It's okay, I respect your thoughts." It's a bit of a hassle to do it yourself, but it's not impossible. ”
"And what were you going to do with me in the first place?"
"I can only fly with my wings in the air, not in space, and you seem to be the kind of flight that defies gravity, I want you to help me drag some food back in space. Zhao Mai scratched his ears: "Without your help, I can only rely on my psychic ability to jump back and forth in the pile of wreckage, in case I accidentally fall into the surrounding environment without support, I will become space junk." ”
"Ahh But!" she said firmly, "If you eat that mess, don't let me see it." ”
"I thought you'd say you weren't allowed to kiss you if you ate it. ”
"Yes, that's more!"
“......”
