Chapter 33: The End of Art and the Discovery of the Brain
The bee approached the 'lump', and Lynn wondered what kind of creature it was, the lump had no crystallized carapace, it seemed to be very soft, and it was making a 'cooing' sound.
There are a lot of fungi around the lump of meat, are those Chibucha worms feeding it? What's the point?
It's weird.
Lin decided to take this meat ball to study and see, this meat ball is not large, only more than a meter long, and it is completely unsuitable for living in such a large crystalline disk.
There were two of these crystalline discs connected by a large number of pipes, and the other one Lynn also went to see, but that one was just a large pile of fungus.
Now that the Chibucha worms in the whole place have been almost killed, then it should be gone.
Lin asked the bee to dissolve the pipes connected around the crystalline disk, and when the pipes broke, the entire disk fell to the ground, and because it was in a very low position, it didn't hurt much when it fell.
Lynn had the troops dissolve the disc and drag the lump of flesh out for the smasher to carry on his back.
So, it's time to go.
Looking at the corpse of the Qibucha insect that was trampled on the ground, Lin felt that it had been almost done, this battle was quite simple, this opponent was quite weak, in fact, Lin prepared more troops and troops, in order to ensure the victory of the battle.
However, Rin's true thoughts are that it never intended to be 100% victorious, before entering here, Lin did not know the strength of the Kibucha Worms, nor did she know their number and various information, and Lynn also used many flyers or infiltrators to try to detect, but every time it was found and killed.
Therefore, the battle with the Kibucha Worm is basically a battle with an unknown enemy, so it is difficult to guarantee the chance of victory, but the Kibucha Worm is a threat, and this threat must be solved.
Although the victory was easy this time, Lin still learned a lot, not thinking about how to build more powerful troops before the battle, but should have better reconnaissance methods. After seeing the opponent's message. You can easily create the ability to restrain the other party.
After a little summary of the fight, Lynn was going to get out of here, but there was still something going on until then.
Lynn had to make sure that none of the Chibucha worms survived, except for the ball of flesh it had taken.
There must be no such thing as 'aftermath'.
With that in mind, Lynn had her troops disperse into the other passages that connected to the crystalline wormhole. Look for other Chibucha bugs.
Afterwards, Lin asked the collectors in the rear of the army to come and devour all the corpses of the Chibucha worms here, and at the same time, Lin did a thorough study of the cave.
The pipes inside the 'crystalline wormhole' are clearly a system for transporting food, and it doesn't seem surprising. The main thing is that this whole crystal cave is made up, and the walls of the cave are shining all the time, which is enough to illuminate the whole cave.
After researching, Lin found that the walls of the cave were inlaid with a large number of crystal balls with a diameter of about ten centimeters, and these balls would emit light, and Lin speculated that the Qibucha worm might take these crystal balls to the surface to absorb the light, and then use them to illuminate.
The hardness of these crystals is similar to that found in the seabed before, but they all have drawbacks. Unable to prevent dissolving liquids.
Not all dissolved liquids can dissolve crystallization. But Lynn can make a lot of dissolved liquids, and Lynn usually doesn't name them individually. One of them has a strong corrosive effect on crystals, and many other creatures secrete them, so Lynn doesn't plan to use them on armor.
In addition, the caves on the walls of the caves almost always lead to the surface, and some lead to places where there is water, and the Chibucha worm relies on this system of pipes to channel water into the crystalline worm holes.
Among these caves, only a few Qibucha worms were found, and they were solved very lightly.
In addition, this crystalline wormhole is nothing special, although the Chibucha worm is an interesting creature, but it is a pity that they regard Lin as a threat, there are many species that treat Lin as a threat, but they will retaliate and attack, Lin has only seen the Chibucha worm so far.
So they all have to be disposed of.
The collectors can't eat all the Chibucha worms here, because there are too many, and there aren't enough collectors in the Lin belt to clean them up, and if they can't clean it up, there may be Chibucha worms that will survive...
As a result, Lin created a special class.
It is said to be a class, but it is actually a large explosive bomb, this explosive bomb has a spherical body, about three meters in diameter, the body is filled with explosives mixture, it has powerful muscles that can compress a large amount of gas, although it cannot move itself, but it can move through guò attached to the appendages.
Actually, there is no limit to the size of this bomb, but the bigger it is, the more it consumes, and it is difficult to recycle, so Lynn usually doesn't make too big.
However, this is the most powerful explosive bomb that Lin has made so far, so it is named 'Artistic Creator'.
Lin told the 'Artistic Creators' to walk to the center of the crystallized wormhole and told the troops to retreat to the cave from which they came.
So, get ready to detonate......
The huge bomb began to continuously compress the gas in the body, increasing the power of the explosion to the maximum.
Blow up the crystals here, and Lin can also collect them better.
Under normal circumstances, Lynn might build a base here or something, but this time Lynn wants to completely exterminate this species.
However, as she prepares to explode, Lynn feels a feeling of 'compassion' that she had had a long time ago.......
Why is that? Lin began to understand a little, it seemed that when she completely killed a species, she would have this kind of feeling, and it had nothing to do with the behavior of the other party.
In other words, after the detonation of the artistic creator, the Qibucha worm here may be completely wiped out.
Then fry it!
This time, compassion didn't stand in the way of Lynn.
The explosive bomb compressed to the limit suddenly expanded violently, and under the roaring explosion and shock wave, the entire crystalline wormhole began to tremble, countless crystalline pipes broke and collapsed, and huge cracks began to appear on the cave wall.
The caves dug by the Chibucha worms have a unique characteristic: they are hexagonal in shape, and this structure is quite resistant to pressure, so they can construct the cave deep underground, but they cannot resist the impact of internal diffusion.
Lynn calculated that the cave it entered would not be affected, and that it would not collapse as long as the structure was not damaged.
Under the impact of the explosion, the entire crystalline wormhole was reduced to a mixture of earth and crystalline debris, and everything was gone, and so was Lynn's sense of 'compassion', replaced by a sense of exhilaration.
,
So...... Let's go back.
In fact, the Chibucha worm was not completely wiped out, and Lin still had the thing she found from the crystalline disc - the creature that looked like a lump of flesh.
The lump of flesh had been making some cooing noises when Lynn had the Grinder carry it, and strangely, it was always changing its pitch to make a sound, as if trying to ...... Communication in general.
'Communication'?
Lin suddenly realized this, can different creatures communicate directly like this in addition to the symbiotic relationship that has been achieved by living together for a long time?
Lynn had only seen some exchange of information between species of the same kind or between species that had reached a long-term symbiotic relationship, but this was the first time she had seen it......
That's right...... It's not impossible, as long as the intelligence is sufficient......
Lynn brought the strange fleshy creature back to its original nest, placing it with the Euglena worm that had been brought back from the Inca swarm, and began to try to decipher the message contained in its voice.
Lynn also wanted to get a brain reader for it, but Lynn didn't know where its brain was, so in order not to accidentally kill it, she had to understand the creature's internal structure first.
The meat ball has pores and a mouth, but its mouth is small and located under the body, and it is usually completely invisible when pressed.
Lynn released some miniature units into the body of the meat mass to conduct a complete study of its structure.
The body of this meat mass made Lin feel a lot of surprise, almost more than 80% of the body of this creature is composed of brains, or brain-like structural cells, that is to say, the 'meat ball' is actually a huge brain?
With such a huge brain, the level of intelligence must not be simple, so it will try to send a message to Lynn?
Its brain is much more complex than other creatures, and it would take quite a while to fully study it, so Lynn plans to try to understand the sounds it makes. (To be continued.) )
