Chapter 328: Extraction, Absorption, Release
'White paste' is a very wonderful thing, Lynn now knows that it is a nutrient structure, which contains a lot of energy needed by living beings, Lynn used to grow up by devouring this food, and it seems to have a considerable amount in the water, but later various creatures gradually increased, and the white paste became less and less, and now the ocean can be said to be completely unable to find this kind of thing.
Later creatures have also been changed to devour other nearby creatures, and no longer rely on white paste to live.
But why is it in the nutrient pantry of the creator, is it ......
Lin immediately asked the red pompom to search nearby, and soon, Lin found some olive-shaped organs about a meter high in the middle of the white paste pile, this organ has many small holes on it, and from these small holes is constantly spewing out some white debris, these debris after coming out there is a microorganism nearby to collect them, and accumulate them all, after accumulating more, it forms the white paste around Lin that Lin saw......
And this organ, not only here, Lynn found it everywhere, and after Lynn had some red pompoms drill into it for some preliminary investigation, Lynn guessed that it was supposed to be a 'converter'.
Lynn believes that after the trunk of the tree absorbs the terrestrial organisms, all the nutrients are introduced deeper into the earth, and they are crushed, compressed, decomposed, transformed, and finally made into white paste after multiple steps.
I don't know why the creator did this, maybe it was not only for its own consumption, but also to 'feed' other symbiotic organisms, because the living beings have a high absorption rate of white paste. In general, living beings eat only a part of the food they eat. Some of it is released as excrement. But if you eat white paste, it can almost absorb most of it, and there will be almost no waste, this energy utilization rate is particularly good, if you make an example, eating a kilogram of white paste is equivalent to eating a piece of ten kilograms of meat.
However, it's really amazing that the person who created the zào would make this, and Lin felt that she should take a closer look at how it was made.
But the situation is a little strange now, the creators are constantly making white paste, and a large number of sword fleas are constantly transporting white paste. This is not a normal situation.
And when Lin was searching, she also found some other strange things on the ground here, and there were a large number of microorganisms active on the ground here, and Lin found some microorganisms that Lin had seen.
But what is seen is not the living, but the ...... Fossil.
Lynn had seen these microorganisms in fossils, and Lynn wasn't sure if they were living creatures at first, but she was able to confirm them after seeing the real living creatures.
And that fossil ...... It comes from a meteorite.
It's rare to have fossils in meteorites, but Lynn did, but why are there such living microorganisms here? Could it be that the fossils seen in meteorites are not real fossils? Rather, it was 'petrified' like a fungus by the creator?
But the stone had just fallen from the sky...... Could it be ......
And more than that, Lynn discovered that the structure at the base of the trunk and the entire room where the white paste was placed were not common substances. In fact, it is similar in composition to some meteorites.
So what to say...... Lin could almost think of what the creator of the zào was, and sure enough, it was not an ordinary creature, and its origin could be very special...... If you study these structures, you may not be able to find their origins.
But where should you start researching first?
At present, these 'meteorite microorganisms' are responsible for transporting and placing the plaster, and they are also responsible for cleaning the discharge port of the plaster so that it does not clog as if it were for no other purpose.
Let's take a look at how it produces white paste......
Lynn let the tiny red pompoms burrow into the organs that made the white paste, and followed the pipes inside, observing and studying the structure inside.
Sure enough, it was a huge organ, and the structures that released the white paste on the outside were only a part, and there were more complex structures deep inside.
Deeper down, this organ was constantly transporting large amounts of nutrients, which Lynn found appeared to be 'raw materials', made up of the debris of various organisms, which they compressed in a large sac and broke them down with a large number of microorganisms.
Lynn discovers that these microbes are the 'meteorite microbes' out there, but they have a different role here, they seem to be the key organisms in the synthesis of plaster, they devour the raw materials, and reorganize the raw materials.
The process is quite interesting and requires careful research to know its process.
And there are some red pompoms that continue to swim deeper, Lin wants to see the full face of this organ, this organ is quite huge, Lin found that it is at least dozens of meters long, and there are many of them, the pompom found that this organ still has the function of absorbing raw materials in the middle part, most of the raw materials are absorbed by the organs, and only a relatively small part is transported down to make it look like white paste.
These ointments seem to be specially supplied to those symbiotic beings, and the creator himself eats the 'raw materials' directly, and it is true that the digestion ability of the creator is much stronger than that of those symbiotics......
In addition to the sword flea, there are many symbiotic species in the body of the creator, some of which are even difficult to distinguish, and they have quite a lot of uses.
But what Lin is most concerned about is the absorption speed of this organ, it is constantly transporting raw materials from the bottom, and it is almost crazy to absorb, Lin thinks that the creator itself should not need so many nutrients, and when it wakes up, it has already eaten enough nutrients, and these raw materials should be used for storage and later use.
But why are they still absorbing? Lynn had some red pompoms keep track of the absorbed nutrients, and eventually saw that these nutrients were transported to the surrounding roots of the trees that were located underground, and these roots absorbed these nutrients through guò and began to grow further, and the cells in their bodies were constantly increasing, forming more similar muscle structures, and the whole body began to grow.
They absorb these stored nutrients through guò and are constantly growing, and there may be hundreds or thousands of these nutrient-absorbing organs underground!
Could it be......
Seeing this situation, Lin thought of a possibility, did the sword flea brain mean this when he said 'ruined miè'? Because Lin destroyed that brain, and for some reason, it caused the person who created the zào to begin to absorb its reserves of nutrients without restraint, and then its size skyrocketed.
If this continues...... The whole land will collapse as a result...... (To be continued......)
