Kapitel 62: Chapter 62
Ever since Lin decided to start the 'Greening the Seabed' project, it had been continuously expanding. It now covered a large area of the seabed, and many of the originally grey sandy beaches and rocky areas were now dyed with a layer of green.
This layer of green was called the 'Green Carpet' by Lin, it had spread to cover all the areas with light between the bases. In fact, Lin no longer had any sub-bases, all of them had been integrated together to form a single gigantic base.
Lin didn't care how long it would take. While this act of hers would provide her with endless energy, it also affected the surrounding environment quite a bit.
The Green Carpet normally wouldn't cover fixed creatures such as corals, so Lin would avoid them. However, there were still quite a few creatures, especially those that liked to drill through sand, that Lin would directly cover them.
However, they didn't disappear just like that. Instead, they changed their way of life — — living directly on Lin's Green Carpet. They would create small cracks on the transparent outermost layer of the Green Carpet to hide, or they would build their own nests on top of it.
There were also some creatures like leaf-shaped worms that stuck their stalks to the Green Carpet, while creatures that specialized in drilling through sand, such as the seashell, had already left the area covered by the Green Carpet.
At first, Lin would use her troops to chase away or kill these creatures that lived on the Green Carpet, but after a while, Lin stopped doing so. As long as they didn't block the light too much, Lin would generally ignore them. As for the creatures that liked to build nests, Lin would directly cover them with the Green Carpet without blocking their nests. Under Lin's' tolerance ', and because the Green Carpet released a large amount of oxygen, more and more creatures began to gather on top of it.
As for the creatures that tried to drill into the Green Carpet to eat the photosynthetic cells inside, Lin would kill them without hesitation.
This felt quite good, and in case of an emergency, these creatures would become Lin's food reserves.
Covering the Green Carpet was a very long process, and Lin didn't travel during this process. How many years had it been since it was completed?
Lin didn't record any of this. During this time, she had been thinking about various problems and conducting some research.
Lin had also obtained a few new words, including adjectives for 'size'. In the past, Lin would usually compare it with one of her own units to confirm its size, but now she had a precise unit of length to describe a certain object.
Most of them were mixed with the word 'meter', and each type was usually 10 times the previous one, and when the latter was 1000 times, the word 'meter' would be changed to 'kilometer'. It felt very troublesome, but it was suitable.
For example, a hundred thousand cells could form a sphere that could be described as a 'millimeter', and a sphere formed by a hundred thousand cells was about one millimeter. But depending on the size and density of the cells, even the same number of cells would make a huge difference..
However, the 'millimeter' unit was already larger than a single cell's size. Even the largest slime was only 70% of its size.
The Leviathan's current diameter was about one meter. Among the common creatures here, it was considered very large. Among the creatures Lin had seen, only the Cryolite and the Giant Trapdoor were larger than this.
As for Lin's' Green Carpet ', they were probably the largest creatures in the world. The area they covered was probably more than ten kilometers, but Lin didn't calculate it.
However, Lin still couldn't accurately describe the size of an entire area. It seemed like 'diameter' wasn't quite suitable because it should be used to describe a round object.
.......
. Lin didn't plan to spread the 'Green Carpet' too far. She planned to let the 'Leviathan' travel again to see if there was a suitable place to spread the 'Seed of Bases', or to place the 'Seed of Bases' there and then expand the 'Green Carpet'.
But recent research made Lin change her plans. Lin discovered something very important about UV rays.
The land above the water was an air domain, and most of the air here wasn't oxygen. Instead, it was some other strange gases, including a type of gas that could be used to combine light. Most of these gases didn't have much of an effect on UV rays.
However, the oxygen released by the 'Green Carpet' and other wild photo-eating cells would turn into another strange gas if exposed to UV rays for a long time. It also had the effect of blocking UV rays. Although it couldn't completely block them, it could weaken the effect of UV rays and make them less lethal.
But the small amount of oxygen would quickly be blown away by other gases, so Lin had an idea. What if the amount of oxygen was large enough to mix with the entire land? What would happen then?
It seemed like a ridiculous idea because the space outside was so big. But Lin knew that the oxygen released wouldn't escape, it would always be mixed with other gases, so with enough time, it might be possible …
So Lin decided to wait. Perhaps she would sleep for a while, just like during the oxygen crisis. But this time, her motive was the opposite. Back then, she was waiting for the oxygen to disappear. Now, she was waiting for the oxygen to fill the entire world.
But Lin's main goal was still to evolve. Most of her evolution methods were to learn from other creatures, but she had seen a lot of creatures now. She couldn't find any that could help her evolve. Of course, Lin could go out and explore other areas, but she wanted to stay here for the time being to observe the changes in the creatures.
Other creatures could evolve as well. Through her research of placing the eyeball into the bodies of flatfish, Lin found that the cells in their bodies could combine into new structures based on different situations, or add new functions to their original structures. However, these reactions were relatively slow, completely incomparable to Lin's ability to quickly create new types of soldiers …
However, these evolutions were all self-generated by the cells of living creatures. Regardless of whether they had a brain or not, they could all think about their surroundings and adapt accordingly. Although the process was slow, it was very effective. Usually, they could come up with perfect solutions, but their ability to adapt to sudden changes was relatively poor.
Lin's cells also had this ability, but Lin preferred to directly synthesize or learn from other creatures.
The brains of other creatures seemed to be only responsible for allowing them to quickly react to their environment, but not to control their own evolution, which was why the reaction of evolution was relatively slow.
Under this slow change, the individual would become different, but some creatures had a special method called 'combination'. When the cells of two different flatfish were combined, the cells would divide and grow into a new flatfish. The new flatfish would inherit the advantages of the previous two flatfish, sometimes even gaining new powerful abilities.
This seemed to be called 'sexual reproduction', which was quite interesting. Some other creatures, such as jellyfish, used a method similar to division, which was why the new body could only inherit the advantages of one individual, unlike the flatfish which could inherit the advantages of two individuals.
However, Lin believed that her evolution was slightly more powerful because it didn't require the exchange of information between its cells.
For example, when Lin's cells in a certain area underwent a certain evolution, she could immediately use her thoughts to make all the cells evolve accordingly, regardless of the distance and without any contact.
Lin's thoughts seemed to be able to influence the evolution of her cells, but the effect wasn't complete. It seemed that the most basic thing was to obtain the corresponding information. Lin had to understand that evolution, which would be very helpful to the evolution of her cells. Lin first understood the principle of photosynthesis, which was why her cells were able to quickly combine to produce light-absorbing substances. If the cells were allowed to combine on their own, it would probably take millions of years for them to react.
In short, there were many complicated mysteries behind this.
Because of that, not only did Lin intend to remain dormant for a period of time to fill the land with oxygen, she also wanted to observe the evolution of other creatures and finally understand the secret of evolution …
How many years would that take?
Perhaps a very long time …
To avoid boredom, Lin would enter a state similar to hibernation, but her troops and eyeballs would continue to work, recording the changes in their surroundings. When they experienced a great change, Lin would wake up.
Or if something happened in the surroundings, such as a tsunami, a fault, or lava, Lin would also wake up. But Lin believed that since she already owned such a large area, these things wouldn't affect her too much.
At the main base on the land, Lin had already surrounded it with her carapace. The carapace itself would constantly monitor the air and environment, only informing Lin when the ultraviolet rays were no longer as strong.
The existence of the green carpet meant that Lin would never have to worry about food, unless the world lost its daylight.
Now, all she had to do was wait for the world to change …
What would she see when she woke up?
Due to the green carpet covering large areas of sand and rocks, many creatures had lost their hiding spots. When they realized that they were exposed to danger, they would need to move faster and become stronger, which would stimulate their evolution.
Currently, most creatures fed on single-celled creatures floating in the water, but as they slowly grew in size, they couldn't satisfy the need to consume single-celled creatures anymore, so they gained more strength and turned their attention to other multicellular creatures.
The prey creatures would also grow a harder carapace and body, this caused them to constantly compete with each other to grow. Combined with various environmental factors such as cold, heat, and various other factors, the creatures of the future would surely be very different.
In the end, what kind of change would there be?
