In almost all organisms with a cellular structure on Earth, there is a common structure: mitochondria. www.biquge.info It stores its own genetic structure, which is independent of the genetic structure of the nucleus, but when the cell divides, it will divide together and enter the new cell. In this form, it coexists with all life and plays a simple but important role: to provide energy to cells.

Without a symbiotic cell organ, death will come to the cell, and then life will die. The chemical energy provided by mitochondria is the source of energy that drives the movement of living things, from amoebic protozoa to blue whales.

The ghostly battleship creature is different, he has a variety of cellular energy organs, and can use a variety of energy, some of which can also store a large amount of energy. The Z-worm happily eats the cells and begins to change its state.

Just like the relationship between mitochondria and cells. Billions of years ago, when large cells tried to engulf small cells, small cells tried to parasitize large cells, mitochondria managed to balance with other cells, thus forming a stable relationship. Over time, mitochondria leave only the genes needed to provide energy, and the rest is transferred out, and a large part is learned and absorbed by the nucleus, passing on from generation to generation with evolution. The same is true for Z-worms, which keep their cells alive and in a stable balance with newly added cells, learning, retaining, and evolving. Zhao Mai used the Force of Nature to ensure the survival of the Z worm, and used the psychic ability to keep the whole process under control. The Z worm is still just an organ, not a complete creature, but each of its cells has left the imprint of Zhao Mai's mind, making it a whole.

"Truly spectacular creatures. Diana looked up at the battleship's "heart and liver" and couldn't help but admire. When they pass by the "stomach", "intestines" and "lungs" of the battleship, everyone will let out such an exclamation. But what amazed everyone the most was the faster-than-light engine of the ghost battleship.

These were two huge cylindrical organs lying flat, with a diameter of twenty meters and a length of about thirty meters, just on the raised back of the entire battleship. The cylinder is covered with a network of blood vessels, and the energy generated from other parts is concentrated here, causing the two "engines" to pulsate slightly as if they are breathing.

Next to the cylinder is the Ghost's energy device, which is used to power explosive flights. These devices have grown together with battleship creatures, like mitochondria and cells, and when they reach equilibrium, they become one.

"It's incredible. Zhao Mai felt the deepest here, he said to Xiaohua: "At first, the creature just swam in the water, slowly raised to the surface of the water, saw the land, wanted to find out, swam up, and then learned to crawl. ”

"They crawled on the ground, their field of vision was getting higher and higher, and they wanted to see what they were seeing, so they got up, and they learned to walk, and they learned to run, and they learned to jump. ”

"They looked up, saw the vast sky, smelled freedom, and when they wanted to find out, they tried to climb up, climbed in the air with their hands, kicked off the ground with their legs, and then learned to fly. ”

Zhao Mai clasped his hands together and motioned to the entire battleship creatures: "They saw the starry sky, the infinite new frontier of Wuji, so they continued to embark on a journey of exploration, and slowly developed to the current level. This is not a great journey that God says 'I want to fly', but a great journey that starts from a small cell. ”

"It seems that you have a deep understanding, do you want to keep some of it in my body, and I will keep it for you? Xiaohua said seriously: "Although I knew that you would be able to have a deep understanding one day, I didn't expect it to be at this time." Leaving the earth and going to a new environment is really helpful for you. ”

"Isn't it true that the druids go to various environments to experience the natural forces there, so as to enhance their perception and ability?" Zhao Mai responded modestly: "I just have some convenient conditions, I have traveled farther than most druids, and I have seen more." If you talk about time, I only left a feeling at this time, and I am actually very stupid. ”

Having said that, Zhao Mai had no intention of refusing. He picked up the reserve grain, put his hand on the flower pot, and taught Xiaohua his experience through the induction of the natural force. This experience is also very helpful for Xiaohua, if she can learn how to integrate her own perceptions and establish a good balance between "self-spirit", "druid perception" and "physical growth", maybe she can usher in a new development. Xiaohua was very satisfied with the spirit state in which she was able to give birth to the Dryad, but Zhao Mai thought that this should be far from the end of the road.

The power compartment and the faster-than-light engine compartment were cleared, and the remaining ghosts were mostly minor issues, at least not affecting the ship's maneuverability. Shepard checked the ammo, "Diana, Mike, I don't have much ammo, it's up to you next, okay?"

"No problem. Diana waved her sword: "I'm not sweating yet." ”

"I'm okay too. Zhao Mai said to Shepard: "But shouldn't we inform the bridge and Atlantis of the situation here?"

"That's right. Shepard tapped on his headset, and as soon as he said a few words, he noticed that the faster-than-light engine had started to start. Intense energy pulsations gathered in the two cylindrical organs, and the resulting force field waves slowly pushed the crowd outward. "Rodney, what's going on?"

"You should ask Terra, but I know it is. Rodney's voice sounded slowly in the headset: "Atlantis' deep space radar has detected that the ghost fleet has accelerated, and the earliest battleships will arrive in ten minutes, instead of three days as originally expected. The ghosts are running at any cost, and Atlantis has already taken off, and after leaving the atmosphere, it will start the faster-than-light engine and leave. Oh no...... Atlantis asks us if we can drag the ghost's ship and reduce the chance that they will be able to track Atlantis City's faster-than-light path?"

"Can it be done?"

"Theoretically, it's okay, it's just that we have too few people, and Terra can't control such a large ship and so much equipment alone, and her brain will burn out. ”

"I think I can help. Zhao Mai said to Shepard: "I also know a little bit about manipulating spaceships. ”

Diana pointed to herself and Zhao Mai: "Our hearing is very good, we have heard everything." We're definitely going to help. ”
