Bab 50: Chapter 50
The 'brain' was a very special structure. It was connected to the entire body by a string of cells that were much thinner than blood vessels. Moreover, Lin had discovered a special energy within it. Although Lin did not know the details of the energy, the 'brain' used this energy to send out vibrations, sending messages and commands to the cells of the entire body. The cells, in turn, responded to the brain.
The 'brain' was used to command the cells in the body.
While it sounded impressive, this structure was completely useless to Lin. She didn't need such a troublesome structure to command any cell from an unlimited distance.
It was only now that Lin noticed that she was different from other creatures …
Other creatures couldn't command the cells in their body. When they were cut by the flying saw, even the round-beaked flatworms with a 'brain' couldn't control the cells in their blood vessels to eject out. Their hearts were still beating at the moment of death, so this would only cause the cells in their blood vessels to eject out.
It was the same for other creatures. While they were made up of cells, the cells often couldn't act in unison.
Why was that?
Lin didn't know, but this might be a huge advantage for her. It allowed her to evolve much faster than other creatures. She could form a multicellular organism in a very short period of time, something no other creature could do.
Lin then studied the structure of the spine. She still didn't know what this thing was for. Why did it have to be placed inside the body?
What was the purpose? Wasn't it just to occupy a space? While there were joints on the spine that allowed it to move flexibly, it didn't seem to have any purpose …
No, it seemed to have a 'supporting' function. A completely soft object moving in the water shouldn't be as fast as a creature with a rigid structure inside.
However, if she wanted to pursue speed, Lin preferred the structure of water spraying instead of this structure that had a hard object inside its body.
Lin believed that the round-beaked flatworm was a very powerful creature, but why didn't Lin want to learn the two special structures inside its body …
Oh well, even though it was an interesting creature, its research value was too low.
After finishing the round-beaked flatworm, Lin continued her journey with the Leviathan. Now, the Leviathan wasn't just exploring this world, it had another important mission, which was to expand its base to other places.
Soon, Lin arrived at her original destination. This body of water was filled with sharp rocks. The name 'Forest of Thousand Needles' was very suitable for this place.
These boulders were not ordinary stones, but creatures. There were many holes on them, and many tentacles of different colors extended from them, swaying and capturing the surrounding single cells.
There were so many of these creatures.
Lin found that many multicellular organisms like to evolve into this form, such as jellyfish, sea anemones, leaf worms, and the creature that built the boulder was called a 'coral'.
He felt that this name was quite special.
These creatures usually had stinging cells on their tentacles and did not have eyeballs. Their body structure was very simple and had no research value.
The boulders built by the corals were similar to crustaceans. Apart from the corals, there were many other creatures here. Most of them were small trilobites that hid in the crevices of the corals. Apart from that, Lin also found some flatworms.
They were not round-mouthed flatworms, but the kind that Lin had seen when she was on land. They shuttled back and forth among the corals, seeming to like this place very much. In addition, there were many other creatures that Lin had seen before, such as starfish, sea anemones, jellyfish, and so on. Most of them lived around the corals.
The Leviathan swam around the 'Forest of a Thousand Needles' made of corals. It found that although this place was not very big, the creatures here seemed to be very abundant. Lin felt that it was necessary to put down the Seed of Bases.
The Leviathan swam to the top of a coral, and the coral instantly shrank back into it. At this time, the Leviathan opened the opening to release a new troop type.
Actually, it wasn't a new type of soldier, it was just a large sphere made up of a large number of explosive spheres. Lin had combined a water spout and a water suction hole made up of muscle cells on top of it, allowing it to rapidly move and charge towards its target the moment it was released.
Let's call it an explosive sphere.
Lin first used her devouring tentacles to scrape off the anti-corrosion coating on the coral, then released a large number of explosive spheres at once. They rushed at the coral at high speed, collided with each other and exploded. The dissolving liquid that spread out corroded the solid outer shell of the coral, exposing the inner part.
After looking inside the coral's body, Lin discovered that it wasn't as simple as just having a layer of shell on the outside. Inside the coral, there were intricate tunnels made up of crustaceans, just like a maze. The main body of the coral, the tentacles, were moving back and forth in these tunnels.
Blow them all up.
Lin continued to release explosive spheres, allowing them to rush into the coral and blow it up. Because there was no anti-corrosion coating inside, Lin easily blew up all the structures inside the coral.
After that, Lin placed the Seed of Bases inside the floating coral wreckage and sealed the hole that was blown up outside the coral.
Done.
Lin did not recycle the coral wreckage, as that would be the fertilizer for the base's growth.
Now that there were the main base, the trench base, and the coral base, where should she go next?
The Leviathan left the 'Forest of a Thousand Needles' and continued to swim. This time, the Leviathan swam to a high altitude, close to the surface of the water.
The ultraviolet light on the water was still blinding, but Lin did not come here to observe the ultraviolet light. She found that there were many green creatures on the water's surface.
These green creatures covered the entire surface of the water, their existence even changed the color of light. They were also very close to the water's surface, as if they were not afraid of the ultraviolet light at all.
These were green cells …
Lin discovered that most of these green creatures were made up of the same cells as the green cells she had been raising. They were in the shape of long filaments or spheres, but they did not have any organs in their bodies. They were simply glued together by the cells.
These creatures were interesting … Although they were simple, there were so many of them. The area they covered was beyond Lin's field of vision, extending to an unknown distance.
The Leviathan swam below the green water's surface. Lin wanted to see how large the area they covered was. The endless light provided them with a rich source of food, and with the help of the ultraviolet light, very few creatures swam to this location to eat them. Since they fed on light, perhaps they had some way to resist the ultraviolet light.
Lin had thought about evolving the ability to eat light, but she did not know how to create color, and because she had already reared a group of green cells, she did not think about it too much.
But after seeing the prosperity of the green cells, Lin also wanted to evolve this ability.
The Leviathan grabbed a few green cells and gave them to the analyst to study. Lin did not know how to study color at all, so she only gave the analyst the idea to 'create green'.
The Leviathan continued to swim forward. Suddenly, Lin saw a huge rock that she had never seen before in front of her.
It was so huge that it was even wider than the trench. Half of its height extended to the bottom of the sea, while the other half protruded from the surface.
It was no longer a 'rock', but an 'island'.
Lin noticed that the green cells seemed to have spread along the edge of the island to the top. Could they survive on land?
Lin had the Leviathan release a warhead. This warhead was similar to the one explored in the trench, but it had been modified internally to allow it to move on land. Its body was covered with several layers of shells to block the ultraviolet light.
The warhead climbed to the edge of the island. After climbing on the island, Lin saw the whole picture of the island. The part of the island that was exposed to the water was very flat, and it was made up of sand and rocks. A small part of the green cells in the sea had extended to the sand at the edge of the island, and some had become dry and cracked due to the loss of water.
They could not survive on land, although they were not afraid of the ultraviolet light.
Although Lin's warhead was covered with several layers of shells, it could still feel the damage from the ultraviolet light. The warhead could only quickly retreat into the water.
It seemed that it needed to evolve the ability to resist the ultraviolet light. Although it did not make sense to go on land, Lin did not like to be in a place where she could not go.
Lin created a floating base in this location so that she could continue to study the green cells.
