……………………………………………………………………………………
Lynn gave the name of the 'cell wall' to the huge semicircular shield she had built, and the cell wall was made up of three layers of cells, the outermost layer, which Lynn called the 'cortex', the thickest and most flexible layer, the inner
The two layers of the layer, called the middle layer and the inner wall, are not as thick as the cortex, but if the cortex is damaged by certain factors, the inner layer will harden quickly to prevent any threats from the outside from going further.
But there wasn't much to threaten Lynn right now, so it started to build something on the outermost cortex.
That's the trap.
Lynn began to use cells to form cylindrical structures on the cortex, these cylinders were empty in the center and had an opening at the top, and some plaster was placed at the bottom as a lure, and the inner walls of the cylinder were covered with conical horns like cone-shaped cells, and as soon as any cell was lured in, the cylinder would immediately squeeze inward, crushing the prey with countless sharp cones.
In addition to this lethal cylinder, there is also a tentacle-type structure, which is not as large as the giant tentacle in the center, but is a relatively small, elongated structure composed of a small number of cells, and the body of this small tentacle is covered with pinprick cells that can shoot anyone who comes close.
Lynn also discovered that something that glows also attracts other cells closer, which she discovered by chance, especially in the dark, where a little light can attract a large number of cells, so Lynn began to place flashball balls at the ends of some small tentacles to attract prey.
As soon as the night came, the word 'beautiful' came to Lynn's thoughts. Above the cortex, a large number of small glittering tentacles swayed in the dark, attracting the cells that swam by, but they did not know that it was a terrifying trap, and as soon as they touched the tentacles, they would be instantly killed by the poisonous needles that pierced the cells.
The current needle will know how to follow the movements of Lynn's cells before shooting poisonous needles, rather than firing them at will.
And when the night passed, Lynn relied on the deadly cylinder to prey, and those ignorant cells were attracted to the white paste in the cylinder, and they would be instantly shattered by the closed cylinder and the cone horn thorns in it, and no cell could escape.
The giant tentacles in the center use an instant to engulf the cells that swim by, and then use the internal acid injector to break down and melt the prey.
Relying on these traps, Lin was able to obtain a large amount of food other than white paste, because the foreign cells were infinite, and Lynn's community began to grow continuously......
Moreover, after Lin knew how to combine cells, he never encountered any opponents who could threaten him, and then he also encountered crystal fungi, ghost fog fungi or some opponents he had encountered before, and Lin could crush them lightly.
There was even a time when a huge amoeba floated onto Lynn's cortex, and the amoeba was more than 10,000 times the size of Lynn's basal cells, but Lynn still killed it with a large number of stinging tentacles and huge tentacles.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is the virus, because the tentacles that grow on the cortex are immobile and are easily attacked by the virus, but the virus cannot penetrate the cortex, so even if a few tentacles are destroyed, Lin can immediately dispatch the acid injector to dissolve and dispose of the virus.
Regarding the virus, Lynn still had the few infected who were dyed bright red, but Lynn never let them number more than ten.
Countless nights passed...... Relying on constant hunting, Lynn's colony grew incomparably stronger, and it began to feel that it was already an invincible being, because it had never seen any other kind of cell that could combine like it.
Lynn's colony was now several times larger, and her cortex tentacles were denser and thicker, and Lynn now relied entirely on the tentacles instead of the trap cylinders, which she felt were more effective.
Using the 'longevity' scheme, Lynn constantly replaces old cells to keep them in the most vibrant state, but Lynn has one cell that she will never replace.
That's the observer.
Even though the community is so large now, Lynn still only has one cell with vision.
The cell was too small to be seen in the entire colony, so Lynn needed to have several much larger vision owners.
Lynn knew that the observer could see things not only because it had eaten a strange hard object, but mainly because of the light.
Vision is born mainly by absorbing light.
In other words, if Lynn's other cells could also receive light, they should also have vision.
But how?
That's right, according to the old method, Lynn formed a large group of cells, and then gave them the thoughts to receive light and gain vision.
At first it was unsuccessful, and the clump of cells did not react at all.
However, when Lynn merged the observer into the mass of cells, the cells changed wonderfully, the ones on the surface first changed the color and shape of the body, and the inner ones also changed at the same time, but they were completely different from the surface ones, they thinner the body and formed a more reticulated structure.
The evolutionary process is that Lin did not control the evolution of the cells, in fact, Lin has never controlled the evolution of the cells, at most she just sends thoughts to them "what they should evolve into" and as for the more detailed process, it is automatically generated by the cells.
For this, Lin also found it incredible.
The cells will automatically do some things, for example, Lin asks the digger to attack an enemy, it will automatically twist its body, use the surface of the sawtooth to cut the enemy, and there is no need for Lin to carefully control how it runs the action of twisting the body, and the other cells are similar, but if you explode the ball, you must control the water and they absorb water and explode.
At first, Lynn thought that the cells would only perform simple actions automatically, but now it seems that this is not the case, and they can do very complex things.
For this, even though the community is already so huge, and Lynn's intelligence is much higher than before, Lynn still can't understand it.
Why?
Lynn's current perspective is not visible, but the cells are still changing, the cells on the surface are beginning to turn themselves into hexagons, and the cells inside have changed from the previous network structure to a large sphere, and the hexagonal cells on the surface seem to be inserted into this sphere.
Lin felt their speed of change slowly slow, which meant that they were close to completion, and Lin began to feel it.
Vision.
A larger light poured into Lynn's thoughts, exactly the same as her previous vision, but unlike Lynn's previous narrow field of vision, this time it was very wide, because it was a giant eye made up of six thousand cells in Lynn's mind.
Because Lynn is composed of water outside the cortex, it only needs to look down slightly to see its own dense hairy tentacles on the cortex.
However, the large eye had no muscles in it, so it couldn't move, so Lynn combined some tentacles to form a larger tentacle, and used this tentacle to connect the eye from behind.
In this way, Lynn can see in all directions by simply wiggling the tentacles, which are also named eyeball tentacles by Lynn.
Lynn then detaches the viewer from the eyeball, and Lynn's cells can be separated when combined unless they appear to be completely fused together like the cells of the cortex.
After Lynn's observer was detached, the eyeball still had vision, and this time Lynn was finally able to see what the so-called eyes were like.
The two different images were in Lynn's thoughts, but Lynn didn't feel disagreeable, she could still clearly observe all the details in the two images.
The surface of the huge eyeball looked like it was made of a large number of hexagonal crystals, and Lynn didn't expect the cells to take on this shape, but other than that, there was nothing special.
Lynn's cells, whether they are combined or single, are generally transparent except for the core, but this eyeball is a little gray, and it is difficult to see the structure inside.
It was also the first time that Lynn had seen her observer, whose body was the same as the basal cells, but with a crystalline sphere on the outer membrane.
It was probably a hard object that was eaten at the time, right?
Lynn didn't know why she was able to gain sight from this thing, and Lynn had never encountered anything like it again.
…… Why? Even with the large community, Lin still has a lot of questions that she doesn't understand.
In short, if you succeed, then continue to grow.
The word 'future' came to Lynn's thoughts.
What will the future look like?
Lynn didn't know that even though it had such huge eyes now, it could only look into the distance and there was only an infinite amount of deep blue...... Although Lin already thinks she is invincible here, there must be more unknowns and mysteries in this world......
