Vol 2 Chapter 18: Preparation for landing


The 'glandular cells' have evolved. As the water level drops, Lin lets them split quickly and combine them into the cortex to start making their own carapace.
Lin found that the food she usually eats, including all kinds of wild cells or other multi-cellular organisms, originally contains substances that can make carapace, and does not have to go to the cracks in the rock to find materials.
These substances were originally seen as waste, and Lin will squeeze the remaining waste into the surface of the cortex and discharge it, but it seems to have to stay now.
There are many kinds of substances that can form a shell, but because it is more urgent now, Lin has just picked one to combine.
The water surface is slow to reduce, and Lin's cell action is just the opposite. They will cover the skin with a white shell in the body. Although it is not as strong as other hard shells, it is used to protect the light. Very good, because it is not made up of living cells, UV does not make Lin feel painful.
The shell material will slowly harden after it is secreted. Lin makes the aircraft carrier cover the same shell material. As for the tentacles and the giant hammer tentacles, Lin makes them indent into the aircraft carrier. Lin does not want to. Packing on the whiskers will greatly reduce flexibility.
After the completion, Lin has no pain at all, and the carapace is very effective in avoiding UV damage.
But now the water surface is still falling, and Lin’s crisis has not been lifted. It does not want to be completely exposed to the water, so I don’t know what will happen.
As the water level decreases, the temperature here becomes higher and higher, probably because of the crystallization, the heat absorbed by the light affects the water.
The flatworms have been swimming around here. They prey on the wild cells that have been killed by ultraviolet rays. These cells were originally hidden in the cracks of the rock. As the water temperature increased, the cells swam out and became flat. Insect food.
Lin looked at them and suddenly there was an idea in her thoughts.
It won't... Is this ring-shaped area made by flatworms?
Originally, Lin was somewhat suspicious. The general stone could not form such a neat shape. There must be something wrong with it.
Thinking, Lin immediately started the spout behind the carrier and rushed to the front of a huge stone!
Numerous stones collapsed under the impact of the aircraft carrier, and this boulder was directly knocked out by a huge depression.
Sure enough.
Flatworms can stick sand to the body with mucus, and they can also combine other things with mucus. These boulders are actually flatworms glued with countless small stones!
Lin didn't start to look at it, but it now knows that going out is actually quite simple.
Then, Lin asked the to use it to easily dig a hole in the boulder that was enough for the aircraft carrier to pass through.
Lin finally managed to escape, but fortunately the water surface has not been lowered to the point where the aircraft carrier can not move.
After the boulder circle, Lin saw a that was clearly down, leading directly to deeper waters.
It seems that I was inadvertently at a position close to the water in the night.
Here the water will be high in the dark, and the arrival of the white will be reduced, the flatworms should make these boulder circles in the dark.
The reason they make megaliths may be to prevent predators, perhaps for those crystals that can be easily heated inside, or to design a trap that allows large creatures like Lin to enter, and then live to be killed by ultraviolet light, so that they There is a lot of food.
... The third reason seems unlikely.
Lin slowly shakes the tentacles and swims down the to the deep water. It feels that there are many gains in this journey. If not, Lin himself may not try to evolve the carapace.
Carapace is a rather peculiar thing. Lin found that the original food contains many kinds of substances that can form a shell. They are collectively called 'shells' by Lin. By changing the combination of shells, Lin can change the shell. Hardness, toughness, hardening time after secretion, and many other different effects.
This aspect is quite complicated, and Lin has yet to be studied, but after the combination is successful, it will be much simpler in the future.
It turns out that Lynn’s hammer also contains shells. At that time, only the hardened cells were combined. Lin did not know to separate the shell from the cells.
The successful separation of cells and shells now increases the hardness and does not allow cells to be directly attacked.
As she thought about it, Lin had swam back to the deep beach area, and the cold water and the dark light made Lin feel at ease again.
However, Lin will not be so good, it will go back and evolve a perfect way to fight UV rays.
Now, just eat more.
This trip has seen the rich biological population around, and it is no longer worried about the lack of food.
Lin observes the surrounding beaches, where there are a considerable number of creatures, including the familiar leaf-shaped worms and some unseen creatures.
The creatures that haven't been seen have different shapes, but they all have one thing in common... they are small.
Lin began to release the devourers to kill these creatures, while the aircraft carriers and guards were responsible for dealing with larger ones, such as leaf worms.
While Lin swallowed these creatures and increased the outer shell of the aircraft carrier, Lin found a lot of problems during this period. The thicker the outer shell, the greater the burden on the aircraft carrier. No wonder the thick-shelled round-worm worm can only climb on the ground. It is.
Moreover, if the hard shell is covered with the whole body, the hard shell itself cannot be enlarged with the aircraft carrier, and this situation is quite troublesome...
Like creatures like leaf worms or round shield worms, how do they keep the shell and body growing at the same time?
Moreover, the discharge of waste is also troublesome.
When the cells digest food, there will always be something that cannot be digested. This kind of thing will be sent to the cortex through the nutrient exchange system of the cell and discharged into the water, but it is difficult to squeeze out if the shell is covered.
Finally, Lynn decided to cover the carapace only above the aircraft carrier, the original hardened cell combination was still used below, and the tentacles did not cover any carapace to maintain flexibility.
Of course, this is done for the aircraft carrier itself. For the new arms, Lin can completely create a terrible thing for the whole body.
But Lin is now only curing the breeder who raises the green cells, adding two layers of openable shells on both sides of its transparent center, controlled by internal muscle connections.
As for the other kind of armor combination... wait until the night.
In this way, Lynn hunted the creatures on the beach and waited slowly until the night approached, and Lin once again swam to the place before.
Lin called it the 'shoal', which means close to the water.
Although the surroundings have not completely darkened, Lin has lifted the lantern. It swam across the beach and swam through the rocky area. It quickly saw the boulder surrounded by rings.
One of the boulders was hit by a hole, and now it can be seen that the flatworms are repairing it, collecting sand and debris from the surroundings and filling it in the gap.
It seems that the repaired work has progressed quite slowly, and it has passed a day, and they have only been repaired in less than half.
Now, I am afraid they will never be repaired.
Lynn rushed up and smashed the hole being repaired, then released a large number of devourers and hunted the surrounding flatworms.
Because the white worms recede and the water becomes cold, the action is much slower, and the devourers can easily capture them at this time.
Lin’s aircraft carrier and guards completely destroyed the entire megalithic ring around them, and the flatworms fled to the distance.
Lin did not chase, but let the aircraft carrier parked in the vicinity of a crystal, and began a new combination of research in the thoughts.
Lynn wants to make a new cell combination that needs to be UV-resistant and has a strong carapace. Lin wants to use the whole creature for a special plan.
