Leviathan's travels never stop.
Under the continuous replacement of day and night, Lin witnessed the differences in various environments and creatures, and her knowledge of various things made her knowledge constantly improve, and several bases have grown up and can operate normally.
But how far has the Leviathan swam?
Lynn didn't know that it didn't have the exact words to describe 'distance' and 'length', and it didn't deliberately memorize it, just kept swimming to places it hadn't been.
As for the control of pigments, Lin has been researching, although cells can already make green, but they cannot absorb light as nutrients, green cells must have some other secrets, not just green.
Lin carefully observed those green cells for a long time, and even ate hundreds of millions of them, before slowly knowing what was going on inside, green was actually just a by-product, a kind of light that was not absorbed and reflected.
Green cells can combine many different substances together, and these substances absorb other colors of light, such as red and blue, and then they mix the absorbed light with other things to create edible things like small crystals.
This behavior also produces oxygen or something as a by-product, but they don't seem to absorb oxygen, so they throw it out.
However, green cells inhale oxygen in the absence of light, just like other organisms.
Green light they also don't absorb it, so bounce it out, which is why they look green.
Although it seems simple, the process is very complicated, and Lynn has no idea how to mix the various substances in it, which is much more difficult than chitin.
Now Lynn is just giving the cells the ability to reflect green light, which in fact has nothing to do with feeding on light, and Lynn is not even done with the basics.
How do those green cells get done? When Lynn preys on them, they can't even hide, and although some species produce toxins, they are relatively weak, and Lynn can easily evolve resistance against them.
Why can such an intellectually capable creature accomplish such complex things?
What Lynn didn't know was that the higher Lynn's intelligence was, the less she understood what 'intelligence' was all about.
In that case, leave it to the cell, Lynn can make a cell eat a green cell, and then give it the idea of 'combining substances that absorb light'.
After the first step is completed, the next step is given, 'composing the absorbed light and other non-food substances into food'.
'Non-food substances' under Lynn's observation it knew that the green cells seemed to be made of a small bubble of non-oxygen, as well as water.
When air, water, and light are combined, the edible, crystal-like substance is born, but Lin doesn't know how the process is, so she leaves it to the cells to deal with.
The automatic action of the cells can sometimes play a big role, but in any case, it takes a long time, and Lynn continues her journey first.
Now, Leviathan was approaching the surface of the water, and the surface of the water was shaking, sometimes tumbling, sometimes spinning, and Lynn knew that it was caused by the air, and the air rush made the surface of the water also start to stir, and there were countless small columns of water falling from the air field, smashing on the surface of the water to form a circle of ripples.
Because it was daylight, Lynn could see it very clearly.
Above the water, the sky, which was supposed to be extremely bright during the day, was now obscured by a layer of gray, and the intensity of the ultraviolet rays was much weaker, so the Leviathan could get closer to the surface of the water.
Lynn saw the same phenomenon again, a very bright light flashing in the sky, which was brief but enough to illuminate the entire area in the moment it appeared, and make the air and water tremble together.
It's 'lightning', right? And 'sky' is also a new word.
Wonderful words, Lynn couldn't understand them yet, it just found the phenomenon interesting, but it wasn't the only thing that attracted Lynn.
Not far ahead, a large group of flatworms was swimming close to the surface of the water, and they were able to get closer to the place because of the weakening of the ultraviolet rays.
By the way, it doesn't seem like they can be called 'worms', and Lynn discovers a new word to describe these spine creatures.
'Fish'.
That's right, let's call it Flatfish, although Lynn doesn't think it's much different from 'Flatworm', but it likes to use new words.
At present, there are only two kinds of flat fish that Lin has seen, one is the one with a serrated round mouth that will attack it, and the other is the one in front of him, which has no attack power at all, and only feeds on single cells and the like.
The flatfish gather on the wobbly surface of the water, not knowing what they are doing, and Lynn tells the Leviathan to watch from a distance so as not to scare them away.
Lynn likes to observe other creatures, so she can occasionally learn something interesting or useful, even the smallest of them.
The flatfish swam for a while, then they clinged to each other in pairs and squirted a huge amount of white liquid from the small holes under their tails.
Is that a cell?
Lynn let out a small eyeball and swam closer, and found that the fluid was indeed small cells, one of them was oval with a few tentacles, and the other was spherical, and the species with tentacles would try to burrow into the spherical cells, and then the spherical cells would harden to prevent other tentacle cells from burrowing in.
This behavior has also been done by phylliformes, and Lynn still still doesn't understand what the hell is going on.
Flatfish, on the other hand, behave more specifically than phyllomorphs, as they slowly become motionless and float in the water after releasing these cells.
It's like dead.
Leviathan swam close to the flatfish, reaching out and grabbing one, ripping it open and letting its eyeballs into its body to take a look.
…… Really dead?
No, they are not actually dead, but most of the cells, including those in the brain, seem to be in a state of 'sleep', and the body's nutrient reserves are running out, which is similar to the feeling of death.
They weren't attacked by viruses or anything like that, and their cells weren't harmed, which meant the only reason was ...... They are all suicidal.
It's crazy.
But there's really nothing wrong with their brains, and that's what puzzles Lynn the most.
Many creatures have behaving in a way that Lynn doesn't understand, but this is the first time I've seen anything so crazy.
So Lynn released the collector and caught some of the cells that had been squirted and assembled by the flatfish and brought them back to the Leviathan.
Then Lynn created a hardened transparent ball and encased them inside, intending to observe their changes for a long time, what strange abilities does this thing have? You can make the flatfish fight for their lives.
Although Lin felt extremely unreasonable, Lin knew that they must have their own reasons, and that such a thing as 'intelligence' was very complicated......
As for the 'sleeping' flatfish around, none of them became Lynn's reserves.
The Leviathan had grown 50% larger than before on this trip, but the amount of food he actually got was more than three times larger, but Lynn didn't continue to grow in size, but stored more of it.
Lynn has a compression storage method that compresses a large number of fat cells together and does not provide them with oxygen, which reduces a lot of space and makes them inactive anyway.
Then it's time to continue traveling.
Lynn left the lightning-filled and restless water and slowly dived deeper......
In the area under the sea, a huge sandy beach appeared under Leviathan's eyes, which was quite common, but this one made Lynn feel strange.
The beach was dotted with many large circular holes, and there were so many of them that there were ten of them in Lynn's current field of vision, and there were many creatures around it, such as trilobites or flatfish.
The openings were just a little wider than the Leviathan, and they were just enough to get into.
Of course, Lynn won't let Leviathan in directly, but will create a new class to explore dangerous situations.
