Chapter 20: Evolution!
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The current still swept relentlessly across the rocks, this time much more violently than the last.
All the cells in the place were washed away by it, and disappeared into the deep blue in the distance, but Lynn's massive tentacles still stood in the center of the rock.
Each impact of the water causes the giant tentacles to bend, tearing through a large number of cells within.
But Lynn had no intention of backing down, and each time it relied on constant tinkering and splitting to re-prop up its entire tentacles, facing the next wave of water again.
Lynn understands that its cells evolve at a high rate in the face of adversity, and with each injury, they become stronger!
The constant repair is also extremely food-intensive, so Lynn has connected all the fat cells to the tentacles, so that they can deliver energy as quickly as possible.
As for the other idle cells, they are constantly traveling back and forth to the burrows below, transporting new food to feed the fat cells.
The water was still sweeping across the rocks, and the intervals were getting shorter and shorter, and it didn't take long for the next wave to hit again, and Lynn's tentacles were washed down again, but this time it was much smaller than the previous ones.
The number of muscle cells breaking is significantly smaller, and most of their bodies have become more flexible than ever in these few short waves, able to withstand more tension.
Evolution was revealed, and Lynn was delighted.
The water flow didn't give Lin more effort to be happy, and the impact came again one after another, and the time of the wave was getting shorter and shorter.
However, Lynn didn't fall, and it repaired its tentacles faster every time.
Eventually, the water even became continuous, and their impact was not spaced, but at this point, Lynn didn't need to mend it anymore.
Its tentacles are so strong that they can survive even in such rapids.
Lynn succeeded, and Lynn took another big step on the path of evolution.
Rejoice? Yes, Lynn realized that it had a new word.
As a result, there was one less threat to Lynn, and now, the only threat left in Lynn's memory was the freezing of the frozen waters, which had suddenly spread.
Lynn believes that it will face that cold fear again and overcome it with it!
The current lasted for a while, slowly slowing down, then slowly calming down, and the whole water was calm again.
Lin opened the opening at the top of the tentacles, and a large number of cells swam out, and Lin began to completely control the area.
Thanks to the current of water that washed away all the cells on the rocks, Lynn was able to easily capture 100% of the rocky area without even having the need to fight.
Lin began to plan to build more tentacles on the rocks so that it could more easily control the entire rock.
The tentacles can be used not only to defend against water currents, but also to hunt, as long as other cells are sucked in and then solved with lyses, how easy and convenient, Lin also plans to put those needle cells into the tentacle skin to make them grow, so that it becomes a terrifying tentacle full of deadly spikes.
…… Wrong.
Lynn suddenly thought of a better way.
Well......
Yes, it would be much more useful to surround the entire rock than to build a bunch of tentacles on the rock, and there would be more room for Lynn's cells to swim in it.
Do what you think.
Lynn had a large number of basal cells swim to the edge of the rock, and began to stack them layer by layer around the edge, and after they were combined, Lynn made them evolve into the same as the tentacle skin, becoming flexible, so that they would be stiff and could move.
However, it seems that this flat and wide structure is not very useful for movement, and it is not able to perform various movements like tentacles.
That's it for now, Lynn thinks it's always good to be active.
As for the base, it is made up of a large number of fat cells, which are used to grasp the rocks underneath.
Lynn also found something interesting about the fact that although cells can't dig through rocks, if you let some cells get into the cracks in the rock and keep dividing, you can crush the rock.
In this way, they can also be more stable on the rocks.
As Lynn's observer observed the cells assembling, she began to pay attention to the edges of the rocks.
The edges of the rocks are very smooth, but there are many cracks or protrusions on them that allow Lynn's cells to grasp them and form a 'wall'.
If you look down from the edge, you can only see a rocky cliff that leads to the deep water, and Lynn can't see what lies below, and Lynn may go down to explore sometime, but not now.
The next step is to eat and grow at the same time......
The number of Lynn's cells proliferated, they quickly devoured all the white paste on the rock, and the wall of cells around the entire rock quickly sculpted, during this time, Lin did not encounter any water currents, nor did she encounter any strong cell communities to harass her, only a few small community cells that occasionally appeared, all of which became Lin's food without exception.
It is worth mentioning that the light bacteria in those caves, they are no longer afraid of Lynn's cells, and they start to mix in Lynn's cell population to eat, but Lin will drive them away, in this period of urgent need for food, Lin will only give their community the food they need, as for eating more to divide it, don't think about it.
The cells are slowly growing...... The shaping of the walls was finally completed after several dark nights.
During this period, Lin also felt that one layer of cells was not thick enough, so she added several more layers, so it took longer.
The cells formed a large semicircular shroud around the rock, covering the entire rock surface, with a large hole in the middle for Lynn's tentacles to protrude.
Lynn also made a number of small holes on the surface that could be closed for the cells to enter and exit, and there were also many of these holes in the multi-layered structure, so that the cells could be quickly placed in to repair the damage.
However, it is also possible to repair the direct division of cells around the damaged part.
With such a safe protection, Lynn no longer needs to be afraid of water, but it takes a huge amount of cells to build such a huge shield, and it takes a huge amount of food to maintain them
So Lynn usually keeps them motionless, and Lynn finds that as long as the cells don't move, they hardly need any food.
But despite this, although the white paste in the cave with the outer layer of the rock can maintain the entire community, and there is still some more, it is not enough for Lin to continue to expand the community.
Lynn devised a new scheme that would allow some cells to stop their life activities and then allow other cells to break them down and digest them, which would allow for a lot of energy at a critical moment.
This method also works on some cells that have been alive for a long time, and their death can make room for newly divided cells, and Lynn knows that a cell can evolve itself far faster than it can divide into a new cell
And the longer the cell lives, the more damage it receives from life activities, such as abrasion on rocks, etc., and finally becomes weaker than normal cells.
But newly divided cells can inherit all the advantages of the old cells, and are usually stronger, and do not inherit the disadvantages.
This method of eliminating cells can replace some of the already 'old' cells, allowing Lynn to evolve without increasing the number of colonies and food consumption.
What is this program called? There were new words in Lynn's thoughts.
"Lifespan".
That's right, it's a great way to get rid of old cells and make room for new, more vibrant, and powerful cells.
If you don't get rid of the old ones and just keep splitting, then no matter how much food you have, you will run out of food, and of course if there is enough food, Lin will not run this 'lifespan' scheme.
Still, Lynn wanted to increase the community, and she did realize that the white paste that came out of the stones was not enough.
But the rock often has large and small cell communities in close proximity, and Lynn decides to start capturing them.
However, these cells are not easy to catch, as they swim to the outer layer of Lynn's shield and find that they can't get in and leave, and Lynn doesn't know where they came from.
But as long as you solve it a little bit, what are these cells attracted to?
That's right, it's white paste, so why wouldn't Lynn use it as a trap to trap them?
Well...... Pitfall?
What a good word......
