Chapter 17: The Evolution of the Hard Shell
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The surface of the water is slowly getting lower......
It was getting closer and closer to Lynn, and Lynn could clearly feel the pain in her cortex, the light of day destroying her cells and hurting its life.
Lynn tried to escape, but couldn't find her way.
The row of boulders was actually a giant ring that enclosed all the crystals and trapped Lynn at the same time.
Why do non-living objects, whose positions are supposed to be irregular, form a ring so exactly? It was dark when Lin came, limited by its vision in the dark, and it hadn't noticed the strangeness of the area at that time, otherwise Lin would have hesitated.
It was too late to regret it now, and the lowering of the water level left Lynn with nowhere to go, and it had to face the threat of ultraviolet rays directly.
Thankfully, Lynn wasn't unprepared.
Ultraviolet rays, Lynn just knew that there was a word, and knew that it could kill cells, but she didn't know what it actually was, and the eyeballs didn't seem to be able to see ultraviolet rays, and Lynn now thinks that ultraviolet rays should be a kind of light, or something that is brought by light, so that you just need to prevent light.
Lynn has seen some types of cells in their bodies produce a peculiar, liquid or solid substance that reflects, interferes, scatters, or absorbs light, in the name 'pigment'.
Although it is not known how it is produced, pigments are indeed very effective on light, for example, green cells are supposed to rely on pigments to absorb light energy.
But Lynn's cells can't make green, it only has black, white, gray, and colorless 'transparent', and in the process of realization, Lin found that 'white' is the most suitable for reflecting light.
As Lynn thought about it, the cortical cells slowly began to turn white, and Lynn could feel the pain in the cortex significantly smaller, and then Lynn quickly repaired the damage to the cortex and covered them all with a layer of white.
Lynn also created a white shell over the tentacle's eyeball, allowing the eyeball to continue to look around without being hurt by the light.
After this series of changes, the light can hardly hurt Lin's cortex, but the water surface is still constantly getting lower, and without the protection of water, ultraviolet rays may be able to instantly destroy Mièlin's cortex, even if it turns white.
Now Lin can only swim above a crack in the rock, and if the water level is lowered to a certain point, Lin will open a passage under the carrier, allowing the cells and devourers in her body to swim into the crack to avoid danger.
The Guardian's hard shell made it completely unaffected, which made Lynn want to evolve a similar hard shell even more.
Lynn's sledgehammer is made up of hardened cells, which is somewhat different from the hard shell of non-cellular, and Lynn hopes to make this non-cellular, thick, hard composition.
After Lynn's study of some shells, she found that although the shells of these organisms were different in terms of hardness and softness, they were all composed of very similar substances, and were a powder or liquid secreted by cells called 'glandular cells', which formed various hard shells when the glandular cells covered the cortex in large quantities.
The water level was still slowly falling, and Lin could feel the pain that could be called 'burning' slowly returning, and as the water approached, the light affected it more and more, and Lin was ready to let the troops and cells inside the aircraft carrier escape.
However, it stopped when the surface of the water was lowered to a short distance from the aircraft carrier.
Are you alright?
Lin didn't dare to take it lightly, it didn't know if the water level would rise or fall next, and it quickly began to perform the next move, evolving into 'glandular cells'.
It is not difficult to make glandular cells, the question is what is the substance inside the glandular cells, what is it that can make the cells dissolve and then recombine into a solid shell to cover the cortex?
Perhaps the answer lies in the cell's usual food.
Since it is a non-cellular substance, it should be obtained from food, and it may not be possible that the 'white paste' that Lin used to eat was mixed with substances that can produce carapaces.
Of course, it doesn't have to be white paste, Lynn has seen other wild cells devour all sorts of things, such as debris from sand grains, powder from rocks, etc., and maybe it is mixed with the key to making carapaces.
Lynn opens openings underneath the aircraft carrier and unleashes a large number of blastballs, causing them to search for various similar substances in the cracks in the rock, and after devouring them, Lynn will have them try to dissolve the substances in their bodies and cover them in the outer membrane.
Now there is only one thing to do, as long as the water level does not continue to lower, Lynn will soon be able to successfully create a hard shell.
In fact, Lynn should have tried to make a hard shell earlier, but because she didn't encounter any problems, and the power of the hammer was enough, she never made a hard shell.
The blastballs swam between the dark crevices in the rocks, and Lynn had small devourers follow them, swallowing them whenever they saw a suitable substance, and dissolving and reorganizing them inside their bodies to change them into a suitable shape.
Lynn didn't know exactly how the transformation process would be in the cell's body, but the cells would run automatically, and Lynn would just need to give them the thoughts to execute.
Lynn had the blastballs find a lot of what seemed to be a possible carapace in the cracks in the rocks, tiny gravel, black goo, scraped debris from the rocks, and the dissolved solution of the blastballs could dissolve most of the sand and debris, but after the dissolution was successful, Lynn found that the cells were unable to reassemble them completely.
Because sand grains and debris are made up of a variety of different substances, some of which can destroy the possibility and integrity of the overall recombination.
Lynn refers to these parts that destroy the integrity of the whole as 'impurities' and need to be removed from them, which is a troublesome process because Lynn's cells don't seem to understand the idea of 'removing impurities', and Lynn has to do it herself.
Lynn's mind perfectly controls every part of a cell from the core to the outer membrane, but it has never tried to directly manipulate the synthesis system in the cell, so it is a very long and complicated process.
The synthetic system in the cell is a rather complex thing, and there is no vision inside, so Lynn cannot observe what is going on inside, but she has 'sensations', like touch, and if Lynn needs to, she can feel the 'touch' of different objects that the internal structure of the cell touches.
Relying on this strange ability, Lynn is able to perform the work of expelling impurities.
Lynn believes she can succeed.
As Lynn tried to remove the impurities, some uninvited guests appeared in the surrounding water, and these flattened creatures suddenly appeared in large numbers in the water, swimming rapidly in the water, devouring wild cells and small creatures killed by ultraviolet rays in the rocks and cracks.
These were flatworms, and Lynn noticed that they were a little different, each of them had a layer of sand attached to their bodies, and they seemed to secrete a viscous substance on their bodies, allowing the sand to stick to their bodies to prevent them from being exposed to ultraviolet rays.
Didn't they run away before, but went to the beach to stick to the sand and swam back?
There were many gaps between the ring-shaped boulders that trapped Lynn, and the flatworm was completely large enough to drill through.
The flatworm's mouth is perfect for swallowing a variety of cells, including Lynn's blast ball in a crevice in the stone.
Lynn is now doing the work of removing impurities from the balls, and if it is successful, the balls will be able to remove the impurities on their own.
But it's a slow process, and the flatworms have already started to swim around Lynn's carrier, and they've burrowed into the rock crevices to prey on Lynn's blasts!
Lin dispatched the injectors, and only the injectors' water spray devices could catch up with the fast-swimming flatworms.
Once the flatworm is hit by the injector's needle, it will be injected with a large number of Boomers, which is a one-hit kill for the small flatworm.
The flatworm uses its nimble body to escape the injector, as it is difficult for the injector to turn during the sprint, and Lin should add tentacles to control the direction of their swimming...... But now there is no such thing as free!
As the chase in the rock crevice unfolded, Lin was also speeding up the operation to remove impurities, and it had already separated the various substances in the blasting sphere, and it was about to ...... It worked!
Lynn successfully removed the useless impurities from the body of the blaster, and the remaining substances were successfully combined, and Lin let the blaster secrete it from the outer membrane, successfully creating a thin shell.
Now, the message of its success has been passed on to every popper, and now all of Lynn's poppers have this ability to dissolve and form a carapace!
At that moment, Lynn felt the burning pain again, and she noticed that the water had dropped quite a bit again......
