MTL - 4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution-Chapter 6 Amoeba
Is it once again facing the boundless world of water? Still continue to stay in the place to eat?
Of course, continue to eat, why should I leave? If you leave, there are too many uncertainties, and Lin doesn't want to take risks.
So Lin decided to devour this huge piece of food, so that its community should be tens of thousands, no, maybe it can reach over 100 million.
Lin couldn't imagine these numbers before, but now with the growth of the community, more and more information can be thought of in his thoughts.
But Lynn didn't think about one thing -
future.
Lin's cells began to swallow huge foods, starting from the hole that they dug out. The acidists kept melting a lot of food, and the remaining cells were digging, chopping, tearing. In any way, swallow food as quickly as possible.
Lin's community began to grow. When the community was more than a thousand, the vision of Lynn's observer cells could hardly accommodate them.
Lin once again wondered why this vision-fed cell could not split another cell with vision. The cells split by the observer are still only the most basic ordinary cells.
And these ordinary cells will slowly evolve into diggers because of the way of eating, and ultimately there is no vision.
Just as Lin was annoyed, a special object appeared again in its field of vision.
A huge, blue object, hovering on a vast white plain made up of food, seems to be alive, and its body is constantly moving.
However, its movement did not cause any damage to the food underneath. Lin judged that it should not be eating, and the creature looks very strange. Its body does not seem to have a fixed shape, but it constantly changes, just like ......
Slime?
Lynn didn't know why the word came out of the word, but it found a more standard name in the next moment...
amoeba.
Very visual word.
Lin didn't have any thoughts about this amoeba, because its size is too big. Perhaps a thousand of Helen's cells piled up in piles and half of its size, which made Lin give up the plan to attack.
However, why do you have to attack when you see other creatures?
But what can you do without attacking?
Lin does not understand.
Lin continued to observe the amoeba that kept moving, and suddenly it found that there were some small things that slowly slid over where it was not far away.
The little things are about the same size as Lin's, but the figure is oval and green, and these are probably a kind of cell.
However, when these green cells approached, the amoeba suddenly reacted, and its body surface suddenly protruded like a tentacle, reaching out to those green cells.
No, it is not so much that it extends the tentacles, it is better to turn a part of the body into a tentacles.
The green cells are not evasive, they are easily caught by the tentacles, and then the tentacles are like the cells phagocytizing the objects, sucking the green cells all over, and the swallowed green cells are slowly sent along the tentacles. Into the body center of the amoeba.
The amoeba's body is light gray and highly transparent, so Lynn can see what happens to these green cells in the amoeba.
I saw that the cells were concentrated in the amoeba, very close to a black circular object, which is probably the core of the amoeba, and then the body of these green cells began to shrink slowly and finally disappeared.
Seems to be digested? But Lynn can't see what it is digesting.
Speaking of it, the same is true when your own cells digest food. The food disappears inexplicably in the body. Lin can't see what is working in digesting food.
There are a lot of green cells drifting, the amoeba only catches a part of it, and a lot of green cells float to the cell group of Lin.
Although they did not pose any threat to Lin, but Lin was nervous, the huge amoeba actually moved along with these floating green cells.
So fast.
For the speed of the amoeba, Lin has only one idea. The huge body keeps moving the amoeba forward, and the speed is much faster than that of Lin’s cells.
Run away? Counterattack?
Lin is not going to run away. It has gone through many battles and its cell community is now very strong.
Let's face it.
Now the number of acidists is as many as 97, and Lynn’s self-confidence is also very good.
The acid injectors rushed up under the control of Lin, and the amoeba seemed to know that something was close to it, and it accelerated the speed.
Lynn is curious about this perception. The amoeba obviously has no vision. Otherwise, it has already seen this side. How does it know the location of the food? Obviously it is not a touch, because it knows that they have come before they touch the green cells.
The strange cells in the past are also reacting to things close to them.
Lin has a desire to get this ability. After all, it still can't split more observers.
The amoeba felt the proximity of the acid-injector, and it launched the first attack, which split a large piece of seemingly soft body above it, divided into countless small tentacles, and grabbed it toward the acid-sinker.
When the applicator is close to the tentacles, a large amount of dissolved liquid is sprayed on the conical mouth. The tentacles of the amoeba react with the ulcer at the moment of contact with the dissolving solution. The amoeba also feels painful and puts the tentacles. Shrinked back.
At this time, Lin's second attack was dispatched.
It consists of three hundred conical cells that are constantly drilling through the food, and their 'cones' have become quite sharp, even those of the previous high hardness that depend only on the dissolution of the solution. Some foods, they can now be easily drilled.
The amoeba did not lie there. It found that after the opponent would counterattack, it concentrated all the small tentacles into several large tentacles. These tentacles would still fester when they touched the solution, but they would not give it so much. Melt clean.
Relying on large tentacles, the amoeba caught some acid-sinkers and sucked them into the body, and the liquid of the acid-injector also brought some damage to the amoeba, but it did not cause any serious problems.
At this point, the conical cells are already close to the amoeba, they pierce the outer membrane of the amoeba with a sharp-toothed sharp cone and begin to spin.
This action of rotation was discovered by Lin. This set saw the food faster, and some of the more transferred cells even evolved a few elliptical fins in the back to help accelerate the rotation.
The outer layer of the amoeba was sawn by the cells with numerous fragments, and it still did not retreat, but instead used the old way to reach out the tentacles, trying to devour the cells that were drilled in it.
However, the conical cells have a serrated tooth with a strong cutting force, and some can even drill a hole to run out even if they are swallowed.
However, there are still a lot of people who have been swallowed in. The cells that have been eaten into Lin can clearly feel their touch, but they seem to be frozen by anything.
When digestion begins, it is painful. When the digestion is finished, Lin can't feel it.
Almost half of the acid-sinkers have been eaten, and there are only two hundred conical cells left.
Lin found that the behavior of her own attack seems to be wrong. Even if they can hurt each other, it is still impossible to play something more than two thousand times larger than themselves.
But... continue to attack.
This time, Lin even let the diggers stop eating and participate in the battle against the amoeba.
