Chapter 135: Chapter 134
Lin had set up a base in the middle of this lake. This base was mainly located at the bottom of the lake, and was used to research the various creatures here, especially the study of 'electricity'.
Lin had built a 'cage' made of shell-like material at the bottom of the lake to keep the Radiant Eel inside and study it. Lin kept the Radiant Eel in a comatose state, but she would deliver nutrients directly to its cells so that it wouldn't die. This way, she could observe the activity of the cells in its body.
Lin found that there were many disc-shaped cells in the Radiant Eel's body that could discharge electricity. These disc-shaped cells could store electricity and were connected to nerve wires. As long as they received nerve signals, they would release electricity.
These electric cells were very similar to brain cells, both of them had the ability to release energy. Lin originally thought that they were just used to send signals to the cells in the body, but she didn't expect them to be strong enough to release an attack.
Lin did not have any brain cells, so it might be difficult to imitate them. However, Lin had once created a unit called the Brain Reader. Even though the Brain Reader itself could not discharge electricity, the cells in its body were specially designed to receive the signals released by the brain and decipher what the signal was for.
Although it couldn't read the thoughts of other creatures, the Brain Reader had been able to analyze most of the signals sent by other creatures' brains to their bodies after a long period of research.
In other words, it could interpret 'electricity'. If Lin wanted to create electricity, it would be very easy.
The source of electricity must be food. A creature's body was made up of the food it ate. Something in their body. It was all obtained from food.
In the process of research, Lin used the Brain Reader's cells to create some small sensory organs. Lin found that most of the cells seemed to have electricity. Even the brainless creatures used electricity for many things, usually for stimulation. In fact, electricity was very common.
But to create a powerful electric current that could kill a creature, Lin had only seen the Radiant Eel.
Lin just needed to find out how the Radiant Eel stored 'electricity'. Soon, she would be able to discharge electricity like it.
Lin also found that sometimes electricity couldn't penetrate something, like some kind of shell-like material. Lin found a lot of similar things that would block electricity.
So what was' electricity '? Lin thought that it might be something smaller than a cell, something smaller than a virus, gathering in large numbers.
Lin couldn't see how they looked like in their smallest form, so she wouldn't make a conclusion until she saw their true form. However, knowing their effects was enough, and the cells had the ability to control these things.
Lin had some cells learn how to store electricity, and learned to form a disk-like structure like the cells of the Radiant Eel. Lin planned to make the same cells to discharge electricity.
Lin could not directly control the evolution of the cells, but she could sense the different substances in the cells as if she was piecing them together. And combine or modify them.
This process would take a long time, but Lin didn't think it would take as long as learning how to use photosynthetic cells.
Electricity could also be used for other fun things, such as controlling other creatures. It was not just used to attack.
In the process of studying electricity, Lin also began to study another thing — the round stone at the bottom of the lake.
The round stone had a diameter of ten meters. The surface was very smooth, unlike ordinary stones. Moreover, it was protected by the Radiant Eel. Lin did not discover anything when she began to study the outer layer of the rock. There were no hatchlings hiding here.
So Lin decided to break the stone to see if there was anything special inside.
For this purpose, Lin created a few units called Tile Disintegrators. Although they were small, they could break through this kind of solid stone.
Different things required different dissolving solutions, and Lin's current dissolving solutions could melt a lot of things.
Lin watched as the stone was dissolved bit by bit, but she didn't see anything hidden inside. When the entire rock was destroyed, a two-meter-wide cave appeared where the rock was originally pressed down.
Lin found it strange. If the Radiant Eel had hidden its hatchlings inside, it wouldn't have been able to move the rock.
The cave seemed to be very deep. Lin couldn't illuminate the bottom with her lantern, as if it led to the depths of the earth.
Perhaps she should go in and take a look.
The Leviathan swam into the cave. The walls of the cave seemed to be made of rock, which was very smooth to the touch. There were no living creatures inside. After the Leviathan swam a few dozen meters, Lin found that the cave in front of her had started to curve upwards, then to the left, then to the right. The direction of the passage had become strange.
Was the Radiant Eel protecting this strange passage? Lin was very confused.
Suddenly, Lin found that the cave in front of her had become wider, then turned into a vertical path leading upwards.
Doubtfully, Lin swam up, but not too long later, she found that the cave in front of her had been blocked by a large pile of rocks.
It seems troublesome to open it up, so I'll take my time.
Lin ordered the Leviathan to swim back and let the disintegrators who had dissolved the rocks enter the cave.
The Leviathan returned to the bottom of the lake, while Lin continued her research on electricity.
The Tile Disintegrators had already dissolved a large number of rocks, but there were still a large number of rocks behind, as if there was no end to them. There were so many rocks that Lin found it strange how they were piled up here. It would take a long time to open them up, and it would be troublesome to replenish them with nutrients, so Lin's progress was very slow.
However, Lin's attention was no longer focused on this.
Her research on electricity storage was going smoothly, but there were some problems with electricity release. Lin found that sometimes the released electricity would bounce back, sometimes the release would fail, and there were also problems with how to connect multiple cells to release electricity.
However, these problems should be easy to solve.
While Lin was researching, the Leviathan had been staying at the bottom of the lake, so its travel was also at a standstill. However, all of Lin's bases were in a state of development.
Lin's bases had now returned to their 'primitive' state. They no longer spread out their green carpet, but instead grew a breeding chamber to create units to hunt other creatures. Among these units, there was a type called the 'Sower' that could find a suitable place to place their green carpet. Lin's green carpet was also no longer spread out on the ground like before, but instead had a long umbrella structure that could be called a 'Green Carpet Umbrella'. It took up a small space and could be placed in many places.
Within the Hometree, Lin's base had already taken over the central part of the Hometree. She even had some units plant 'Green Carpet Umbrellas' on top of the tree's bark. Lin had also figured out the structure of the Hometree's waterfall. Indeed, water flowed from the top of the lake to the center, then flowed out from the bottom of the tree as a waterfall. For some reason, the Hometree's canopy would always gather a large amount of water vapor, which was why the lake didn't flow.
Lin had also placed many Green Carpet Umbrellas in her base by the salt lake. The Green Carpet Umbrellas here were also used to filter salt water, which gradually attracted many creatures to live here.
The Aztecs showed no signs of attacking, so Lin didn't take the initiative to attack them. Lin observed their activities and found that they were basically the same as before. The Deepsand Buses were still swimming in the desert. Other than going back and forth between a few territories, they would sometimes wander far away, but they rarely approached the Twisted Jungle.
Although she didn't understand why they didn't want to occupy the Twisted Jungle, Lin felt that it was a good thing. Everything around her had become peaceful …
Peace seemed to make Lin bored, but this feeling of no conflict and no danger was also good.
Just like that, time slowly passed as Lin's base developed …
Lin noticed that after a long period of time, the Twisted Jungle slowly began to undergo a wonderful change.
The leaves of the Twisted Trees were large leaves that were over a meter wide, but they had recently begun to close up. The changes of these leaves had also affected other creatures. Lin noticed that most of the Arthropods had begun to dig holes and live in them. They seemed to be planning to hide, and they had also gathered a large amount of food.
Then, the leaves of the Twisted Trees slowly began to change color. At first, Lin thought that it was caused by fungi or something else, but after some research, she found that there was no problem with the Twisted Trees, they had decided to do this on their own.
The originally common creatures also began to decrease in number. For example, most of the reptiles had already gone into hiding, only a few creatures still maintained their normal state.
Most of the creatures were in a frenzied state of activity. Lin saw that they were working even harder than usual to gather food and hunt, while some were busy digging holes. The ground was now covered with a large amount of color-changing leaves.
Even the Cephalopods' group had begun to store food and dug deep tunnels under the rocky mountains, reducing the number of infantrymen.
This gave Lin the feeling that a disaster was about to happen. Only a disaster could make all creatures work together, and the Cephalopods said: [Crystals fall, creatures hide, slumber, coming]
Crystals? Falling from the sky?
At first, Lin thought that the Cephalopods were indeed saying that crystals would fall from the sky, but after Lin used the Display to exchange information with the Cephalopods, Lin found that the Cephalopods were referring to 'ice', and the way it described 'crystals' was exactly the same.
But … ice falling from the sky?
That didn't seem impossible. There were so many clouds in the sky, but they were all water, and they could freeze.
If such large clouds were to freeze and fall from the sky, it would be a disaster. Lin could indeed feel the temperature around her slowly dropping, even the desert storm was no longer as hot as before.
In that case, shouldn't he be prepared for something?
Lin, on the other hand, wasn't prepared for anything. She just waited quietly to see what would happen.
