4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Vol 2 Chapter 11: Small and complicated

After eating the second leaf-shaped worm, Lynn has already received enough nutrients, which can already resurrect the round shield worm.

Lin combines a front-circle tip with a multi-cellular structure described by the word 'streamlined'. This structure swims faster in the water. Lin calls it a 'transporter', mainly a large number of fat cells. Shipped back to the position of the Shield worm, because it does not want to go back, but also want to continue to eat some leaf worms here.

Lin has combined ten transporters. Each transporter is composed of more than 100,000 cells. There is a circle of small tentacles in the middle of the body to swim. After the fat cells are placed inside the hollow, they are facing Go back in the direction of the ice cave.

Then, Lin once again turned her eyes to a leaf-shaped worm not far away.

These unmoving foods are great.

Lynn happily swayed the carrier's tentacles, and when it was about to swim, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and some of the cells on the cortex disappeared, but Lin did not feel pain.

Did you feel pain without dying? It’s weird...

Lin released the devourer from the aircraft carrier to investigate where the feeling disappeared. This situation was probably attacked. Lin could only know that it should be the position near the spout.

The aircraft carrier's body is too large, it contains hundreds of millions of cells, the light can not completely observe the whole body with the two eyeballs at the front end, and the hardening of the cortex also makes the body feel dull, although there are two special The small tentacles used to sense the fluctuations of the water flow, but also like the eyes, can not take care of the whole body.

The devourer swam along the carrier's cortex to the back of the aircraft carrier, and immediately saw the cause of the incident. On the cortex close to the position of the carrier's spout, a strange creature was attached. The body of this thing looked like five thick and flat. The combination of the tentacles, which is attached to the carrier's cortex, allows Lin to feel that the cortical cells that it is attached to are constantly disappearing.

'starfish'.

The name is not from Lin's own, but in the thoughts, Lin feels quite suitable for this creature.

Is this starfish eating cells in the cortex? But why doesn't Lin feel pain?

Maybe this creature has a way to let the cells not feel the pain, so as to achieve the purpose of 'stealing', but Lin can still feel that the cells are constantly disappearing, so it can be said that the creature's plan failed.

Thinking of Lin released a large number of devourers, let them attack.

This ‘starfish’ is about ten times larger than a large devourer. The surface looks soft and can be free to move. This means it has no hard shell and should be easy to deal with.

The devourers bite on the five tentacles of the starfish, and then forcefully retreat, hoping to pull the starfish off the cortex.

The starfish is tightly attached to the aircraft carrier, no matter how hard the devourers can pull it down, and the cone-shaped cell combination in the devourer's mouth can't scratch its outer skin.

The starfish's outer skin looks soft and can be moved at will, but in fact the surface of the skin is very hard. It seems that the 'flexible' feature is very powerful, and there are many spike-like small protrusions on the skin, which undoubtedly increased. It is difficult for the devourer to bite it.

It’s really troublesome.

If Lin's hammer-shaped tentacles are not enough for this position, it would be easy to knock it.

However, Lin is not only a devourer, the cones in the original devourer's mouth are monolithic, and they are not combined so that they can effectively crush other cells.

Since the round shield worm, Linda has increased the number of large devourers, and is prepared to deal with other multicellular creatures, while some devourers have been specialized, and Lin has combined many bends in their mouths. The sharpened hardened structure at the end, called the 'mega tooth', is much larger in the mouth of the phagocytizer than the former phagosome, so it is not suitable for biting monomer cells, but it is very suitable for dealing with such multicellular organisms.

Lin let the ordinary devourer let go, let the giant tooth devourer attack the starfish, the giant tooth devourer bites on the starfish's tentacles, and the mouthful of huge fangs suddenly penetrates the starfish's tentacles under the pressure of the muscles. In the end, Lin immediately let the giant tooth devourers loosen, and the starfish's cells flooded out of the wound.

Lin let the devourers quickly pick up the cells and then rushed to the starfish's wound, tearing the soft structure of the body exposed.

At this time, the starfish will not continue to hold the aircraft carrier, and its injured tentacles will be disconnected from the body. Only the four corners of the starfish will fall off the carrier's cortex and ride a stream that just flows. Swim in the distance.

Part of the body is broken, the body escapes? It’s too naive to think about it.

What is innocence? Although the word is inexplicable, it does not affect Lin to let the giant tooth devourers catch up with the starfish and tear it into pieces.

After the starfish left, Lin also saw her injured cortex. The starfish's original position seemed to be bitten off, and it was a big chunk. Can it be created to make the wound feel painless? It seems necessary to study this starfish well.

Although it was torn, but the key parts were preserved, so it was still possible to study. Lin found that there are a lot of small tentacles under the tentacles of this creature. These ends of the tentacles are semi-circular hollows. It seems that it is stuck in the cortex of the aircraft carrier with this stuff. Up.

Is this the sucker? It seems that it can produce a lot of power, so that a group of devourers can't pull it off the skin, which has research value.

The starfish's subcutaneous skin has a hard shell, which is similar to the non-cellular structure of the round shield worm shell, but it is soft.

However, Lin is most concerned about the mouth of the starfish. It should be a hole in the center of the five tentacles. There is a bent-like structure around the hole. This is similar to the mouth of the round shield worm, but most importantly, these bends There is a small hole at the end of the thorn, and Lin lets the cell squeeze into the small hole to explore and find that the hole is always connected to a capsular-like area in the starfish.

The pouch is made up of a yellow cell that secretes a liquid that, when exposed to the cell, causes the cell to enter a strange state, becoming inactive and losing any feeling.

Starfish's curved teeth are not all holes that are connected to the sac, and some have no holes on them. It is estimated that they are purely used to dig out the cells that have lost their feelings.

This is a very powerful structure. Use a spike to poke the opponent's skin and inject the destructive liquid. Lynn used to see some cells have this ability before, but why didn't he think of doing a similar multi-cell combination?

Although the acid-injector evolved from a cone-shaped cell, its ejector is not hard or pointed, so Lyn may not associate this ability.

But now that Lin understands, she can make a similar combination.

In addition, there are vascular structures in the starfish, but Lin did not find where the heart is. It may have been bitten by the devourer. The blood vessels themselves and the internal cells have no water-transporting ability. The starfish should have a heart.

But Lynn found something that resembled the heart. They are made up of a bunch of different cells. These cells are long and have many tentacles. These cells are grouped together to form a small ellipse. Shaped objects, and connected to the whole body like a blood vessel.

But these pipes don't transport nutrients, there's nothing inside, and the center's elliptical objects don't do any movement. What the **** is this?

'Ganglion'? The word emerged in Lynn's thoughts, although I still don't understand it, but Lynn has a feeling that this is a useless thing for it.

In addition, there are some strange combinations, such as a capsule containing a large number of round white cells, this capsule has a hollow tentacles attached to the skin, as if used to shoot these cells, and some The network structure, a large number of small tentacles combined structure, the structure of the large hollow tentacles, is very complicated.

Most of the structure Lin didn't know what it was used for. I didn't expect the starfish to be so small, but it was more complicated than the big leafworm. It is estimated that the round shield worm is also a very complicated creature, but it is ruined by the virus.

But Lin doesn't care so much, she can beat them, that is the most important.

Lin only draws useful knowledge. If you don't understand it, don't take it. Just eat it.

When Lin studied the starfish, the ‘transporters’ had already transported the fat cells to the location of the round shield worm, and now they are starting to resurrect.

Lynn believes that it will take a long time to evolve to the top of existence.
