Chapter III Aircraft Carriers
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Lin was using a new combination of cells in the body of the 'aircraft carrier', and Lin originally wanted to design a variety of them, but it suddenly felt that it was not necessary, so in the end she only designed one.
These hunting units are mainly circular structures, with large mouths that resemble clefts, and the inner walls of the mouths are covered with spikes made of cone-shaped cells, which are also mixed with acid-infused people, who, if they approach and open the cracks, suck them into their mouths and crush them with countless spikes mixed with dissolved fluid.
In addition to this, the orb with a large mouth is equipped with an eyeball to observe and two long, flattened tentacles to help it swim.
Their name is 'Devourer', just like the name, and their purpose is to devour!
However, the so-called devourers do not have the ability to digest food, because the inner wall of their mouth is completely covered with cone spines or lytic fluid vents, and the body structure is composed of a large number of muscle cells, which can maximize their speed and strength if they eliminate the organs that absorb and deliver food.
Lynn's sudden discovery was that 'organ' seemed to be a new word, referring to a structure made up of multiple cells with various uses.
If you feel good, let's go hunting!
The Devourers went into action, swinging their tentacles to swim out of the tunnels on the carrier's surface and hunt for all nearby cells.
Devourers vary in size, designed by Lynn to allow them to burrow into the cracks of various grains of sand, the smallest being a few hundred cells, the largest being tens of thousands, but the function and appearance are exactly the same, and Lynn doesn't feel the need to design too many types at the moment.
The Devourers dispersed, each swimming to a hunting ground that matched their body shape.
As soon as a cell is found, the phagogue rushes up, opens its mouth to swallow it, and bites into pieces.
As Lynn hunted the cells, she noticed that the cells behaved differently than she had seen before, that they were faster than before, and that they were able to absorb oxygen.
Do these cells seem to have adapted and utilized oxygen, just like themselves? But no matter how fast they are, they can't compare to the phagocytosis, which is made up of multiple cells.
As Lin thought, this structure of the devourer is very suitable for devouring many cells, and the prey has no ability to resist the devourer, whether it is speed or other aspects, etc., which makes Lin have an idea, it may no longer need other single cells other than the basal cells, it can completely combine them.
After all, the combined multicellular individuals are stronger than the individual cells in every aspect.
Some of the small cell communities in the vicinity were quickly eaten up by the Devourers, and after some of the Devourers returned to the aircraft carrier, and after spitting out the collected food, Lynn made some of the nutrients into fat cells and stored them, while the rest combined to form more Devourers.
Lynn's hunting range expanded, from the crevices of the sand below to the vast expanse of water around her, the Devourer could be seen hunting.
Through the devourers who burrowed into the cracks of the sand grains, Lin found that there was also a lot of white paste in the depths of the sand here, and most of the cells here were probably attracted by the white paste, but Lin didn't plan to eat these white pastes this time, after all, they would be eaten sooner or later, so it was better to keep them and let them attract more cells to come, so that it was an endless supply of food.
Lin was now doing the hunt repeatedly-returning to store nutrients and making more devourers-increasing the size of the aircraft carrier-continuing the hunt, the whole process was very simple, and there was no danger, and it didn't take long for the word 'leisurely' to pop up in Lynn's thoughts.
Lynn looked at the green cells in the pens and saw that they had increased in number, so it seemed that they did have a way to get food from the light, because although it was much colder than above, there was still light here.
Lin thinks that she should also get more breeding pens to raise more......
Just as Lynn pondered this question, a special thought suddenly came from its devourers.
A devourer who was hunting for food in the distance was suddenly subjected to an intense pain that quickly spread to all the cells in its body, and then, all the feelings that Lin felt about it disappeared.
He's dead?
Lynn remembered the sensation, and Lynn saw something familiar in the Devourer's eyeballs before it died.
Crystalline things spread in the water, and the cold breath they emitted quickly turned the surrounding qiē into solid, and all the cells were fleeing, desperately burrowing into the sand, trying to avoid the crisis.
Lin was the same, it immediately sent all the Devourers back into the carrier, their speed was much faster than a single cell, and with the support of oxygen, the speed of action had exceeded the speed of the ice spreading in the water, and after only losing two Devourers who were relatively far away, the rest returned unharmed.
Lynn's aircraft carrier is also mobile, but it does not intend to escape.
It has to face this threat and evolve from the crisis!
Lin closed all the passages on the carrier, retracted the eyeballs at the top, and accelerated the hardening of the cortical cells, at which point the spreading ice was already approaching the body of the carrier.
The cold touch came from the cortex, and Lin could clearly feel that they were spreading to the entire body of the aircraft carrier, but because the outer skin of the aircraft carrier was gray and not transparent, it could not see what was going on outside from the inside.
However, Bingjie did not spread further, they were blocked out of the cortex and did not continue into the body of the aircraft carrier, but the cold still kept killing the cells on the cortex.
Lynn knew what to do.
As before, Lynn has all the fat cells connected to the epithelium, constantly feeding them with nutrients and dividing the cells that are still alive to fight the cold crisis.
The war with Bingjie did not last long.
After Lynn continued to repair the cells in the cortex, she gradually began to feel less cold and no longer had cells to die.
It may have been a cold experience, and the cells developed resistance to the cold very quickly.
Lynn paid attention to the group of green cells, although the ice did not penetrate the outer layer of the enclosure, almost half of them were dead, and the remaining small group was piled together, as if they secreted a transparent gelatinous substance that enveloped the whole group.
It feels like it's fun.
Now that the cold had not subsided, Lynn could feel that it was surrounded by a thick layer of ice, and the aircraft carrier could not move at all.
Ice should dissolve sooner or later, but it is not known how long.
Lynn didn't want to wait.
It began to assemble the giant diggers it had once assembled with a few cells, and Lynn planned to dig up the ice herself.
After combining the ten large diggers, Lin opened one of the passages on the aircraft carrier, and a strong cold air suddenly flowed in from the outside, and Lin could see that it was all thick ice outside.
The huge diggers immediately stepped forward, and it was certainly not difficult for them to dig through the ice, and with the sharp serrations on the surface, they could easily scrape off one ice crystal after another.
Lynn formed a small eyeball to follow them out to observe the progress, and then immediately closed the passage of the aircraft carrier, because it was so cold, it seemed that the cells inside were not as resistant to cold as the cortex.
These new large diggers are resistant to cold, but they are not as strong as the carrier's cortex, and if any of them get too cold, Lynn will let them go back to the carrier to rest for a while.
The jagged surface of the large digger was about the same hardness as the skin of an aircraft carrier, and Lynn knew that hardness alone could not withstand the cold, and there must be some secret in that.
Several diggers had dug a passage through the ice, and Lynn was going to start digging down to the sand to see where the other wild cells were hiding.
Just as it was about to dig down, suddenly, the ice crystals in front of it shook slightly, and countless cracks appeared in the ice wall at the same time.
What is it? Is the ice melting?
No, this is not the case when the ice melts, it feels like some massive force is shaking the entire ice.
'Click......'
Once again, the shaking created countless rifts, and Lynn felt that she should retreat back to the aircraft carrier.
Lynn could feel that something else and something huge was digging up here.
