Vol 2 Chapter 17: Hard shell evolution

The water surface is slowly getting lower...
It is getting closer and closer to Lin, and Lin can clearly feel the pain on the cortex, the light of the white is destroying its cells and hurting its life.
Lin wants to escape, but she has not found a way.
That row of megaliths is actually a huge ring shape, they just circle all the crystals, but also trapped Lin.
Non-living objects, their position should be irregular, why is it just such a ring? When Lin came, it was dark night, limited by the horizon in the darkness. It didn't notice the strangeness of this area at that time, otherwise Lin would definitely hesitate.
It’s too late to regret now, and the lowering of the water makes Lin nowhere to go. It only has the direct threat of UV rays.
Fortunately, Lynn is not unprepared.
UV, Lin just knows that there is this word, and knows that it can kill cells, but does not know what it is actually, the eyeball seems to be unable to see ultraviolet rays, and Lin now believes that ultraviolet light should be a kind of light, or it is brought by light. Something that has lethality, so you only need to guard against light.
Lin has seen some kinds of cells in the body can produce a strange, liquid or solid substance, which can reflect, interfere, scatter or absorb light, the word is 'pigment'.
Although it is not known how it works, pigments do have a great effect on light, such as green cells, which rely on pigments to absorb light energy.
But Lynn's cells can't make green, it's only black, white, gray, and non-pigmented 'transparent'. During the experiment, Lin found that 'white' is the most suitable for reflecting light.
Under Lin's thoughts, the cortical cells began to slowly turn white. At this time, Lin could feel that the pain of the cortex became much smaller, and then Lin quickly repaired the damage of those cortex and allowed them to be completely covered. One layer of white.
At the same time, Lin created a white shell covering the eye of the tentacles, allowing the eye to continue to observe the surroundings without being hurt by the light.
After this series of changes, the light can hardly hurt Lin's cortex, but the water surface is still continuously low. Without the protection of water, the ultraviolet rays may be able to instantly destroy Lin's cortex, even if it turns white.
Now Lin can only swim above a crack in the rock. If the water level is reduced to a certain extent, Lin will open the passage under the aircraft carrier, allowing the cells in the body and the devourers to swim into the gap to avoid danger.
The hard shell of the defender made it completely unaffected, which made Lin want to evolve a similar hard shell.
Lin's sledgehammer is composed of hardened cells, which are somewhat different from non-cell hard shells. Lin hopes to make this non-cell, thick and hard composition.
After Lin’s research on some shellfish, it found that the shells of these organisms, although soft and hard, are composed of very similar substances and are secreted by a cell called 'glandular cells'. Powdery or liquid, glandular cells will cover the cortex with a large amount of this secretion, and will form a variety of hard shells.
The water level is still slowly falling, and Lin can feel the pain that can be called 'burning' while slowly returning. As the water surface approaches, the influence of light on it is getting bigger and bigger. The troops and cells in the body are ready to escape.
However, the water level was lowered to a short distance from the aircraft carrier and stopped.
Is it okay?
Lynn didn't dare to take it lightly. It didn't know whether the water level was rising or falling. It quickly began to perform the next step and evolved 'gland cells'.
It is not difficult to make gland cells. The problem is the substance inside the gland cells. What kind of substance can dissolve the cells and then recombine into a solid outer shell to cover the cortex?
Perhaps the answer lies in the usual food of the cell.
Since it is a non-cellular substance, it should be obtained from food. Perhaps the ‘white paste’ that Lynn used to eat is not necessarily mixed with substances that can produce carapace.
Of course, it is not a white cream. Lynn has seen other wild cells swallowing various things, such as debris on sand, powder on rocks, etc., perhaps mixing the key to making carapace.
Lin opened the opening under the aircraft carrier and dispatched a large number of blasting to find various similar substances in the cracks of the rock. After they were swallowed, Lin would let them try to dissolve the substances in the body and cover them. On the membrane.
Now only waiting, as long as the water surface does not continue to decline, Lin will soon be able to successfully produce a hard shell.
In fact, Lin should try to make a hard shell earlier, but because the hammer is not enough, the power of the hammer is enough, so I have never made a hard shell.
The blasters swim between the dark cracks in the rock. Lin lets some small devourers follow them. As soon as they see the right substance, the blaster will swallow it and dissolve it in the body. It becomes a suitable shape to cover the body.
Lin doesn't know what the specific transformation process is in the cell body, but the cells will run automatically, and Lin only needs to give them the thoughts to execute.
Lin let the blasters find a lot of things in the cracks in the rock that might seem to make a shell, tiny gravel, black viscous, scraped scrape on the rock, and the blasting solution dissolves most of the sand and Debris, but after the dissolution was successful, Lin found that the cells could not completely reorganize them.
Because sand and debris are composed of a variety of different substances, some of which will destroy the possibility and integrity of the overall reorganization.
Lin called these parts that destroyed the integrity of the whole as 'impurities' and needed to be removed from it. This is a very troublesome process, because Lynn's cells don't seem to understand the idea of ​​'de-impurity', and Lynn must operate by himself.
Lin's thoughts perfectly control every part of a cell from the core to the outer membrane, but it has never tried to directly manipulate the synthesis system inside the cell, so this is a long and complicated process.
The synthesis system in the cell body is a rather complicated thing, and there is no vision inside. Lin can't observe the situation inside, but there is a 'feeling', just like the feeling of touch. If Lin needs it, it can feel it. The 'tactile' of the different objects being contacted by the internal structure of the cell.
Relying on this strange ability, Lin can carry out the work of expelling impurities.
Lin believes that she can succeed.
Just as Lin tried to remove the impurities, there were some uninvited guests in the surrounding water. These flat creatures suddenly appeared in this water. They swam rapidly in the water, swallowing rocks, cracks. Wild cells that are shot by ultraviolet light everywhere and some small creatures.
These are flatworms, and Lin found that they have become a little different. Each flatworm has a layer of sand on it. They seem to secrete sticky substances on the body surface, allowing the sand to stick to the body to prevent UV rays. Irradiation on them.
It turns out that they didn't run away before, but went to the beach and stuck in the sand and swam back?
There are a lot of gaps between the ring-shaped boulders trapped in Lin, and the flatworm's body shape can be fully drilled.
The flatworm's mouth is ideal for swallowing a variety of cells, including the blasting of the lining in the stone.
Lin is now doing the job of removing impurities for the blasting ball. Once it is successful, the blasters can remove the impurities themselves.
But this is a slow process, and the flatworms have already started to swim around Lin's aircraft carrier. They have penetrated into the cracks of the rock and started to kill Lin's blast!
Lin has dispatched the injector, and only the injector's water spray device can catch up with these fast-moving flatworms.
Once the flatworm is hit by the needle of the injector, it will be injected with a large number of surgers, which is a hit for the small flatworm.
The flatworm uses a flexible figure to escape the injector, because the injector is difficult to turn during the sprint, and Lin should give them tentacles to control the direction of the swimming... but now there is no free!
When the chasing battle in the cracks began, Lin was constantly accelerating the work of removing impurities. It has separated the various substances in the bombing ball, and it is almost... successful!
Lin successfully removed the useless impurities from the body of the blasting ball, and the remaining materials were successfully combined. Lin let the blasting ball secrete it from the outer membrane and successfully produced a thin outer shell.
Now, its successful message is passed to every blasting ball. Now all of Lin's blasting have the ability to dissolve and form a carapace!
At this moment, Lin felt the burning pain again. It found that the water surface fell again and again...
