Chapter 144: Slow Change
The amount of chitinite is not very large, but the deeper you go into the trench, the more it is in the rocks.
These things may have something to do with lava, and in the trenches, Lynn also found a number of small multicellular organisms, some of which have heat-resistant shells similar to those of the Purgatory Worm.
Lynn might be able to start digging here, but it didn't feel like it was enough, so Lynn asked Leviathan to place an eyeball tentacle on the edge of the trench as a marker, and moved on to see if she could find a larger trench.
The ancient squid are no longer following, and there is no sign of them in the vicinity, as if their activity area is not very large.
The deeper you go into the sea, the fewer corpses there are on the seabed, but the ground is still pitted, and you can see that many stones have floated up, some of which have not floated into the air, but only floated in the sea, around which a small fish gathered.
It seems that the ocean is slowly recovering, and the appearance of these small creatures is a good example.
Then, during the Leviathan's exploration, Lynn discovered a number of creatures in turn, although they were all small, but Lynn was able to guess what the future of the ocean would look like.
The Leviathan had swam hundreds of kilometers out to sea, but Lynn had never found any trenches, but the Leviathan would keep swimming and observe the changes throughout the ocean.
Lynn was going to collect the small trench first, but what would she use to collect it?
For this, Lynn has already begun to prepare.
It was a giant worm creature that Lin was specially composing, more than 100 meters long, and its armor was constructed with a huge amount of anti-pressure chitin. It is also mixed with a structure that resembles spider silk. Make it incredibly sturdy. The armor was covered with specially calculated swirling fissures or raised fin-like shells that allowed the creature to burrow quickly underground.
In addition, Lynn plans to create three smaller secondary worms that can attach to the main worm and help it burrow, dissolve, probe, and so on.
Because the manufacturing process is relatively large, it takes a long time, in general. It doesn't take long for Lynn to make up objects from pure cells, the process is relatively simple, but it takes a long time to mix in complex chitins at the same time, because it needs to be synthesized in the body, remove impurities, etc., and it is much more difficult than just producing cells, and some giant creatures can't make carapaces completely by themselves, and they usually need some small troops to coat them with the outermost layer of chitin, which is very time-consuming.
And to make such a big worm, Lynn was still a little confused.
This giant creature can be very dangerous when it burrows underground, and the impact on the ground is considerable. So Lynn is only going to use it at the bottom of the sea to see what kind of effect it will cause.
Because it's still in the making. So the time to go to the collection still needs to wait.
So for now, Lynn is a bit 'boring'.
The Leviathan continued to advance in the ocean, and the deeper it swam, the fewer creatures inside, most of them gathered around the corpses, after all, the lower layers of the ocean were dark, and the upper layers were blocked by pollutants, and it was not so easy to recover quickly, but it was definitely recovering.
After swimming for two days and nights, Lynn decided to let the Leviathan return, and for the ocean, Lynn didn't want to observe it in particular, but wanted to wait a long time to see what had changed, which would be more interesting.
At the same time, above the Twisted Jungle, the Head Worm sang a song of Dudu Du, the Head Worm hid in the airboat because of the danger last time and never came out, but this did not prevent it from seeing the scenery outside through the eyes of the Guò Handle, and it was now close to the edge of the Twisted Jungle, the Glittering Woodland.
The woodland has been restored to its original state, and at night they illuminate the land with a shimmering glow that blends with the blue of the moon to create a wonderful azure blue.
The journey of the Head Worms can become more dangerous, and after leaving the Glitter Glade, the area beyond that may not be Lynn territory, and the Aztecs may sneak up at any time, but Lynn thinks they don't have any more Sand Buses to consume.
But the danger of the head worm is not the Aztec worm, the head worm seems to want to attack the Inca swarm, and yet, even the Inca swarm that is about to be extinct by Lin can easily solve the head worm.
But Lin hasn't fully confirmed this, so let's observe it first, and if you ask the head worm directly, it won't feel so interesting.
Now underground, the cracking is still going on, more home trees have collapsed due to fungal corrosion, and the rock layer on the top of the cave has been pulled by both upward and downward forces, creating a huge number of cracks, thus producing the spread of collapse, on the ground of the twisted jungle, many huge holes that can be seen deep in the ground have burst, and some forests have also fallen into the ground, as the collapse continues, large areas of the twisted jungle will sink into the ground.
Lynn also discovered a peculiar phenomenon in which luminescent creatures in the ground stop emitting light when they encounter sunlight or moonlight, and it is unknown why this happens.
The underground glowing creatures themselves are large patches glued to the roof of the cave, like a layer of 'powder', and the 'powder' is a combination of different creatures, forming a special environment of its own, illuminating the entire underground world, but under the continuation of the collapse, they are likely to be completely destroyed, in order to preserve these interesting creatures, Lin got some of them into the base of the glitter woodland, so that they can continue to reproduce and grow, these creatures can also be of great use if Lin wants to create an environment in the future.
The contact between the underworld and the surface has many special effects, but the effects do not stop there.
And in the collapse of the ground, many strange structures grew on the remains of the collapsed home tree, which looked like a layer of fluffy moss, but it was a fungus, and the fungi lived a way very much like plants, they all like to stretch out silk threads and insert them somewhere to absorb nutrients, but the fungus does not photosynthesize, only eats other things.
Lynn discovered that there was not only one species of fungi, but rather a wide variety of fungi.
Some will grow some plush structures, while others will have round structures, which are called 'mushrooms', which are usually highly toxic to living things, which is the structure they use to reproduce.
There is a mushroom that Lynn calls the 'art mushroom', it will constantly expand and then explode, releasing a large number of seeds, the fungus and the seeds of plants are very different, but Lin doesn't want to get more names, so they are called seeds.
The seeds drifted away in the wind, and Lynn noticed that a large number of seeds were scattered to the ground along with the cracked strata, attacking targets on the ground.
Twisted trees are highly resistant to fungi, but the target of the fungus's attack is not living trees, but dead trees.
There's a lot of wood piled up in the Twisted Jungle, and since there's no biological decomposition of this wooden structure, it's been piled up quite thick in the dirt, but the fungus is starting to break down the structure, which seems to be causing some wonderful effects......
The original pile of wood is broken down into nutrients that can be absorbed, so that the twisted tree may grow even larger, and it will also have a great impact on some nearby creatures, and the fungus seems to be slowly changing the continent.
Although this change is not bad, Lin is wondering, is there a way to kill them all, originally they almost destroyed the entire twisted jungle, this kind of small and strong transmission ability, good at parasitic creatures is not easy to deal with, Lin needs to come up with a light way to solve them, otherwise there will be some strong destruction of the 'contagious' creatures in the future.
So Lynn began to prepare.
But before that, Lynn noticed something wrong with the head bug......
It's night, when the moon is shrouded.
At this time, the head worm's airship had already flown over the desert, and the head worm that had been hiding in the airship suddenly climbed onto the airship at this time, and its appearance became very strange.
"Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling, gooing."
The head worm kept repeating meaningless words, and it stayed motionless under the night sky and watched the moonlight.
This is the case...... Quite obviously, it is infected with a virus.
Maybe it was the last time I was attacked by a cricket, I was infected by getting too close to the cricket, and the head worm showed similar symptoms of 'liking the moon', but it didn't look as crazy as other creatures.
The rest of the infantry basically remained motionless, which was a powerful 'insurance mechanism' in the Brain Worm Clan, and when the leader had a mental problem, the other troops would suspend the command of the Brain Worm.
This ability is quite useful to prevent troops from going crazy with the head bugs, and the infantry doesn't seem to be infected, maybe their immunity is different between individuals?
In short, this is a good opportunity for Lynn to deal with this virus, and to create a way to target 'transmissible' organisms.
Lynn usually prefers to use direct attacks rather than other troublesome methods, and Lin first performs a 'poison attack' on the head bug, which is called a special type of pawn into the head worm, which Lin calls the 'poison eater', which can swim quickly in the body of living organisms and has a strong virus detection ability, it will devour all viruses and virus-infected cells and solve them with lytic solution.
Lin can release a large number of Poison Eaters at a time, and after dealing with most of the viruses, they will decompose themselves and turn them into completely harmless substances, and Lin can use this class to deal with almost all viruses in living organisms, and they will not cause any bad effects afterward.
After the head worm recovered, Lynn began to do the same to all infected creatures throughout the Twisted Jungle, a large number of poison eaters were packed in a kind of thin needle, which was then loaded in large quantities in explosive bombs and released in large quantities with bombarders.
In this way, the problem of virus infection can be perfectly solved.
With these things done, Lynn's giant burrowing creature also reached the stage of completion...... (To be continued......)
