44 Chapter 44 Air Storage and Immune System (1/2)
The journey on land is not meaningless. Although there is almost nothing on the land that is worth remembering by Lin, it still acquired some useful knowledge.
For example, air.
Lin discovered very early that the air in the water would float upwards. Lin hadn't cared about this matter until now. Lin suddenly remembered why they would go up instead of down?Can they resist gravity?
This is not the case, it's just that the air is lighter than water, so they will be squeezed out by the water, so all the land on high ground is air.
Now, because Lin is covering the carapace, the speed of the aircraft carrier is reduced, and the swimming is not as flexible as before.
But ... what happens if you add air?
Lin created an elliptical bladder-shaped combination inside the aircraft carrier, called the airbag, which is filled with oxygen. This structure can make the aircraft carrier much lighter. It should be no problem even if the whole body is covered with armor.
The balloon has two small tubes, one is connected to the blood vessel, which can oxygenate the blood vessel, and the other is a small hole that protrudes from the cortical carapace. This tube is normally closed. When Lin floats to the water surface, it can Control airbag expansion to inhale.
Lin also created a small cell combination called a gas storage device. It looks like a small air bag swimming outside the body. The gas storage device relies on small tentacles around the body to swim and uses hollow tentacles to absorb small water bubble.
Gas receivers also have a hard shell outside the body and can devour sand to balance the weight of the body.
After the aircraft carrier covers the full hard shell, oxygen intake becomes more difficult. When the gas receiver inhales the oxygen, he can return to the aircraft carrier and release it. In addition, it can also directly inflate the airbag when Lin does not want to float to the surface.
However, the current situation is that although Lin has added an airbag, she has not added a full-body shell because the reserve of shell material is not enough.
At the same time, Lin also added an airbag to the guard's shell, but even then it failed to float, just to the extent of 'floating'.
In addition, Lin also covered the inner layer of the guard's hollow tail with a large number of burst balls and acid injectors. This originally empty position is now used to dissolve and combine various carapace.
Then the combined chitin will be taken out by a new class of soldiers called ”painters” and used for transportation to the aircraft carrier. The painters can also directly apply the chitin to various places to form a carapace.
Guardians are now more like a carapace factory.
Lin is still considering attacking with gas, but there is no good idea now.
The aircraft carrier slowly walked with the escort. Lin was watching the surroundings. On the beach in this depth of water, there were single cells everywhere, whether in the gravel or other places. The land is in stark contrast.
There seem to be more single cells than before. There was no such scene in the water before, so there will be many creatures that are motionless in the water, waiting for the cells to come over and feed themselves.
Thinking about this, Lin found some multi-celled creatures in front of them. They looked like a few tubes inserted in the sand. The tentacle-shaped body protruded from the tube to capture the single cells floating around.
This is called 'pipeworm'.
Feeling Lin's approach, her soft tentacles instantly retracted into the tube below. Lin knocked on the pipe where the tube worm hid and found that it was hard, which must be made of chitin.
Lin ’s content of chitin extracted from food is quite at least. Some shellless organisms may contain less than 1% or even no chitin. If you want to quickly build a set of armor, Lin must get the raw materials from the gravel. Or attack those shelly creatures, and this tube worm is an ideal target.
The next moment, Lynn's hammer hit the tubeworm shell hard.
The tube worm is very thin and not very hard. The shell was cracked only after being hit for a while.
Lin doesn't care if the other person's shell is hard or not, because it can dissolve and reorganize the shell and adjust the carapace to its ideal hardness.
Click ...
The tubeworm's shell shattered under Lynn's knock, and the soft organs inside revealed.
Next, it is the work of the devourers. They bring the debris of the shell back to Lynn, and by the way, the soft body of the tube worm is torn to the sparse rotten, and the nutrients and the shell material are recovered.
The structure of the tube worm is quite simple, and Lin has no interest in research.
The small broken shells were sent directly to the guards to dissolve and reorganize, while Lin ’s aircraft carrier turned to attack the nearby tube worms.
