Vol 2 Chapter 3: Aircraft carrier

Lin is using a new combination of cells in the body of the 'aircraft carrier'. Originally, Lin wanted to design a variety of things, but it suddenly felt that the necessity was not great, so in the end only one was designed.
These hunters are mainly circular structures with large mouths like cracks. The inner wall of the big mouth is covered with spikes made up of conical cells. It is also mixed with acid injectors. It is close to the prey and open. If they are cracked, they can be sucked into the mouth and crushed with countless spikes mixed with the solution.
In addition, this large-mouthed ball is equipped with an eyeball observation and two long-length tentacles to help swim.
Its name is ‘Devourer’, just like the name, Lin created them to swallow!
However, the so-called devourers do not have the ability to digest food because they have the inner wall of the mouth completely covered with the cone or the squirt, while the body structure is composed of a large number of muscle cells, eliminating the need to absorb food and deliver food. They can maximize their speed and strength. If they almost exhaust the energy, just return to the 'aircraft carrier' and connect the fat tentacles attached to the aircraft carrier to replenish.
Lynn suddenly discovered that ‘organ’ seems to be a new word, referring to a structure composed of multiple cells for various purposes.
It feels good, then start hunting!
The devourers started the action, and they swayed the body's tentacles from the passages of the aircraft's body surface and began hunting all the nearby cells.
The devourers are of different sizes. This is designed by Lin to allow them to drill into various sand gaps. The smallest is only a few hundred cells, the largest is thousands, but the function and appearance are exactly the same. Lin feels that there is no need to design too many types at the moment.
The devourers spread out and traveled to the hunting grounds that match their size.
As soon as the cells are found, the devourer will rush up, open the mouth and swallow it, and then bite into pieces.
In the process of hunting cells, Lynn found that the movements of these cells were not the same as they had seen before. They were faster than before and they also absorbed oxygen.
It seems that these cells are just like themselves, adapting and using oxygen? But how fast they are, can't compare with the devourers who are made up of multiple cells.
As Lin thinks, the structure of the devourer is very suitable for swallowing many cells. The prey has no resistance to the devourer, whether it is speed or other aspects. This makes Lin have an idea, it may not There is a need for other monomer cells other than the basal cells, which can be combined.
After all, the combined multicellular individuals are stronger than a single cell in any respect.
Some small cell colonies nearby are quickly eaten by the devourers. Some devourers return to the aircraft carrier, and after the collected food is spit out, Lin will make some of these nutrients into fat cells for storage, and the rest will be combined. More devourers.
Lin’s hunting range has also expanded, and from the gaps in the sand below to the vast surrounding waters, the devourers are being seen.
Through the devourer who drilled into the gap of sand, Lin found that there is also a small amount of white cream in the depths of the sand. The cells here are mostly attracted by white paste, but Lin is not planning to eat this time. These white creams, after all, will sooner or later be eaten, it is better to keep them, let them attract more cells, so that is the endless food.
Lin is now constantly repeating hunting - returning a storage of nutrients, making more devourers - increasing the size of the aircraft carrier - continuing to hunt, the whole process is very simple, there is no danger, after a long time, Lin's thoughts The word 'leisure' emerges in the middle.
Lin observed the green cells in those feeding circles and found that they increased in number, so it seems that they have a way to get food from the light, because this position is much colder than the above, but there is still light here. .
Lin thinks it is time to raise more breeding circles to raise more...
When Lin asked about the problem here, its devourers suddenly came up with special thoughts.
A devourer who hunted in the distance suddenly suffered a strong pain, and the pain quickly spread to all the cells in it, and then Lin's feelings about it disappeared.
died?
Lin still remembers this feeling, and Lynn saw the familiar things in its eyes before the devourer died.
The bright things spread in the water, and the cold air they emit quickly turns everything around them into solids. All the cells are running away. They are desperately drilling into the sand to try to escape the crisis.
Lin is the same. It immediately returns all the devourers to the aircraft carrier. They are much faster than a single cell. With the support of oxygen, the speed of action has exceeded the speed of ice-cold spread in the water, only two lost. After a long distance devourer, the rest returned safely.
Lin's aircraft carrier is also mobile, but it is not intended to escape.
It has to face this threat and gain evolution from the crisis!
Lin will close all the passage holes in the aircraft carrier, indent the top eyeball and let the cortical cells accelerate and harden themselves. At this time, the ice that has spread continuously is close to the carrier's body.
The cold touch is uploaded from the cortex, and Lin can clearly understand that they are constantly spreading to the entire aircraft carrier's body, but because the aircraft carrier's outer skin is gray, it is not transparent, it can't see from the inside what is outside. Happening.
However, there was no further spread of ice cleansing. They were kept out of the cortex and did not continue into the carrier's body, but the cold continued to kill the cells on the cortex.
Lin knows what to do.
As before, Lynn connects all the fat cells to the epithelial layer, constantly supplies them with nutrients, and keeps the living cells constantly splitting against the cold crisis.
The war with Bingjie has not lasted for a long time.
After Lin continued to repair the behavior of cortical cells for a while, it began to gradually feel the cold, and no more cell death.
It may have been a cold once, and the cells are very resistant to the cold.
Lin noticed the group of green cells during the period. Although the ice knot did not pass through the outer layer of the feeding ring, they almost died a lot, and the remaining small group piled up together. They seemed to secrete a transparent one. The gums wrap the entire group.
It feels very fun.
Now that the cold has not receded, Lin can feel that it is surrounded by thick ice, and the aircraft carrier is completely unable to move.
Ice should dissolve sooner or later, but I don't know how long it will take.
Lynn doesn't want to wait.
It began to use some cells to combine the huge digger that had been combined, and Lin planned to dig the ice layer and try it.
After combining ten large diggers, Lin opened one of the passages on the aircraft carrier, and the strong cold suddenly flowed in from the outside. Lin could see that there was thick ice on the outside.
The huge diggers immediately came forward, and it was not difficult to dig up the ice layer even if the rock could be dug. With the sharp serrations on the surface, they could easily scrape off another piece of ice crystal.
Lin formed a small eyeball to follow them out to observe the progress, and immediately closed the passage of the aircraft carrier, because it was too cold, it seems that the cells inside have not been as cold-resistant as the cortex.
These newly formed large diggers have a certain ability to resist cold, but they are not as strong as the carrier's cortex. If it is too cold, Lin will let it go back to the aircraft carrier for a while.
The surface of the large digger with a jagged surface is similar to the hardness of the carrier's cortex. Lin knows that the hardness is not tolerant of the cold, and there must be some secrets.
Several diggers have already dug a channel in the ice, and Lin plans to start digging down to the place where there is sand to see where other wild cells are hiding.
Just as it was preparing to dig down, suddenly, the ice crystals in front of the eyes shook a little, and there were countless cracks on the ice wall.
what is this? Is the ice melting?
No, ice is not the same, it feels like there is a huge force that is shaking the entire ice.
‘咔...’
The vibration once again produced countless cracks, and Lin felt that she should retreat back to the aircraft carrier.
Lin can feel that there is something else that is going to be tapped here.
