Chapter 50

The 'brain' is a very special structure. It connects the entire body with cell lines much finer than blood vessels. Moreover, Lin discovered a special kind of energy within it. Lin couldn't clearly understand its detailed information, but the 'brain' uses this energy to emit a vibration-like sensation, thereby sending messages and commands to all the cells in the body, and the cells also use this to send messages back to the brain.

The function of the 'brain' is to command all the cells in the body.

Although it seems very powerful, this structure is meaningless to Lin. It doesn't need such a complicated structure to command any cell at an infinite distance.

Lin only realized now that it seems to be different from other organisms...

Other organisms cannot command all their cells. When cut by a flying saw, even the round-mouthed flatworm, which has a 'brain,' cannot control the cells in its blood vessels from spraying out. Their hearts continue to beat until the moment of death, which only results in the cells in the blood vessels being completely expelled.

The same is true for other organisms. Although they are composed of cells, the cells often cannot act in unison.

Why is this?

Lin doesn't know, but this might be a huge advantage for it. This allows it to evolve at a much faster rate than other organisms. It can combine into a multicellular organism in an extremely short time, something no other organism can do.

Next, Lin studied the vertebral structure. It still doesn't understand what this thing is for. Why put a hard shell inside the body?

What is the point? Isn't it just taking up space? Although the vertebral structure has joint-like segments that allow it to flex and move, it doesn't seem to have much significance...

No, it seems to have a 'support' function. A completely soft organism would move more slowly in water compared to one with an internal hard structure.

However, if speed is the goal, Lin prefers a jet propulsion structure rather than a hard structure inside the body.

Lin thinks the round-mouthed flatworm is a very powerful organism, but why doesn't it want to learn from its two special structures...

Forget it, although it's an interesting organism, its research value is too low.

Lin ate the round-mouthed flatworm and continued its journey with Leviathan. Now, Leviathan is not only exploring the world but also has the important task of spreading the base to various places.

Soon, Lin reached its original target area, where the water was filled with towering sharp rocks. The term 'Thousand Needle Stone Forest' is very fitting for this place.

These rocks are not ordinary stones but are created by organisms. They have many openings, and various colored tentacles extend out, moving to capture surrounding single-celled organisms.

There are so many of these organisms.

Lin found that many multicellular organisms tend to evolve into this form, such as jellyfish, sea anemones, and leaf-shaped organisms. The ones that built these giant rocks are called 'corals.'

The name seems quite unique.

These organisms usually have stinging cells on their tentacles and lack eyes. Their body structure is very simple and has no research value.

The giant rocks built by corals are composed of a substance similar to a shell. Besides corals, there are many other organisms here, mostly small trilobites that hide in the crevices of the coral rocks. Additionally, Lin found flatworms similar to those it encountered on land, which move through the corals, seemingly enjoying this place. There are also many other organisms Lin has seen before, such as starfish, sea anemones, and jellyfish, most of which live around the coral rocks.

Leviathan swam around the 'Thousand Needle Stone Forest' and found that although this place is not very large, the biodiversity here is very rich. Lin believes it is necessary to place a base seed here.

Leviathan swam above a coral rock, and the coral instantly retracted. At this moment, Leviathan opened its deployment port, and a new type of unit had already been manufactured.

Actually, it's not a new unit, just a large sphere composed of many explosive balls. Lin combined muscle cells to form water jets and intake holes, allowing it to move quickly and rush towards the target the moment it is released.

Let's call it an explosive ball.

Lin first used its biting tentacles to scrape off the anti-corrosion coating on the coral rock, then released a large number of explosive balls. They rushed towards the coral rock at high speed, collided, and exploded, spreading corrosive liquid that eroded the hard outer shell of the coral rock, exposing the interior.

After seeing the interior of the coral, Lin found that the coral is not just a simple shell. The inside of the coral rock has a complex network of shell-like tunnels, like a maze, and the main body of the coral—those tentacles—move back and forth within these tunnels.

They should be destroyed.

Lin continuously released explosive balls, letting them rush into the coral rock and bomb it. Since there was no anti-corrosion coating inside, Lin easily destroyed all the internal structures of the coral rock.

Next, Lin placed the base seed inside the coral rock, which was floating with coral debris, and sealed the holes on the outer layer of the coral rock.

Completed.

Lin did not recover the coral debris; they will serve as fertilizer for the base's growth.

Now there are three bases: the main base, the trench base, and the coral base. Where should it go next?

Leviathan left the 'Thousand Needle Stone Forest' and continued to swim towards the distance. This time, Leviathan swam to a higher position, close to the water's surface.

The ultraviolet light at the water's surface was still dazzling, but Lin didn't come up to see the ultraviolet light. It noticed that there were many green organisms at the water's surface.

These green organisms covered large areas of the water surface, changing the color of the light. They were extremely close to the surface, seemingly unafraid of ultraviolet light.

These are green cells...

Lin found that these green organisms were mostly composed of cells identical to the green cells it had been cultivating. They formed long filaments or spherical shapes, but their bodies had no organs, just a simple aggregation of multiple cells.

These organisms are truly interesting... Although they are so simple, they are very numerous, covering an area that extends beyond Lin's field of vision, reaching an unknown distance.

Leviathan swam under the green water surface, and Lin wanted to see how far they extended. The endless light source provided them with abundant food, and with the help of ultraviolet light, few organisms swam to this position to eat them. They feed on light, and they might have some way to resist ultraviolet light.

Lin had once thought about evolving the ability to feed on light, but it didn't know how to create colors. Since it had already cultivated a group of green cells, it didn't think much about it.

However, seeing the prosperity of the green cells, Lin also wanted to evolve this ability.

Leviathan captured some green cells and gave them to the analyzers for study. Lin had no idea how to study colors, so it only gave the analyzers the thought of 'making green.'

Leviathan continued to swim forward, and suddenly, Lin noticed a giant rock it had never seen before.

It was so large that its width exceeded the trench, and its height extended halfway to the seabed, while the other half protruded above the water.

It can no longer be called a 'rock' but an 'island.'

Lin noticed that the green cells seemed to have spread along the edges of the island and onto the island. Can they survive on land?

Lin had Leviathan release a projectile, similar to the one used for trench exploration, but with internal modifications to allow it to move on land. Its shell was covered with multiple layers to block ultraviolet light.

The projectile climbed up the edge of the island. After climbing onto the island, Lin saw the entire island. The part exposed above the water was flat and composed of sand and rocks. A small portion of the green cells from the sea had extended onto the sand at the edge of the island, some of which had lost moisture and become dry and cracked.

They cannot survive on land, although they seem unafraid of ultraviolet light.

Although the projectile was covered with multiple layers of shell, it still felt the damage from ultraviolet light and had to quickly retreat into the water.

It seems that the ability to resist ultraviolet light needs to be evolved. Although going on land has no particular significance, Lin doesn't like having places it can't go.

Lin created a base that could float on the water at this location, allowing it to continuously study these green cells.

Leviathan will continue its journey, and the next target is... Thank you to ~Loli Lover~ for the 1888~ donation, but reaching 12,000 is unlikely... Thank you to ~Da Wo Cheng~ for the donation~
