"Whoosh!"
Under the brilliant starlight, Tucker and his clan were dancing a strange dance around a strange statue...
Lin could think of their actions as a farewell before their journey. However, Lin still had to teach them something.
Not only were their drawing skills getting better and better, but Tucker also knew how to use some hard stones to scratch objects and perform a kind of work called "carving." Part of this technique was taught by Lin, and they quickly learned it. The things they made were becoming more and more like the statues of the Inca bugs.
Recently, Tucker and a few other clan members had carved a special statue. It was mainly carved out of wood and looked like a pterosaur with a furry ball on its back.
Because the furry ball's fur was very difficult to carve, they used a kind of grass that looked like fur to insert into the furry ball.
The statue was placed next to the dragon's perch where the clan lived. After it was finished, they always piled some meat and the small balls that the dragon's perch gave them to eat under the statue. They were not used for storage. Generally, the skeletal dragons would put their food on the tree. This food was specially prepared for Lin's furry ball.
If they caught any large prey, Tucker and his clan would dance around the statue and celebrate, just like now...
"Woo woo woo woo!" Tucker raised a piece of meat and cheered at the furry ball in the sky. All the other clan members also cheered!
They always liked to do these things. After their intelligence increased, they did not feel any pressure. They liked to find all kinds of things to do. Lin found that most of the creatures were like this. They liked to think about all kinds of things.
Recently, the skeletal dragons had been learning the language of the brain worms. Their pronunciation had become more and more fluent.
As the clan cheered, Lin's furry ball floated above the statue and slowly rose into the sky, flying towards the starry sky.
The furry ball flew a few circles under the sky and told them, "Record."
"Record!" Tucker immediately imitated the furry ball's voice and shouted. A few skeletal dragons brought some flat stones and began to carve on them.
Tucker and the other skeletal dragons carved the pattern of the starry sky on the stones. Lin wanted them to know that the starry sky would slowly change at various times. However, if they recorded all the changes, they would not change in general. By using the changes in the starry sky, they could remember the route and not get lost. This way, they could go to faraway places to hunt.
The reason why the skeletal dragons always migrated was because they could not find the way back if they went too far. They could only rely on their memory to get the approximate location. Therefore, they used to find a new place to settle down when they went too far.
They used to draw stars, but that was just a casual drawing. Lin taught them to record the changes in the starry sky.
Because they learned the language, they could also communicate with Lin in a more complicated way.
During the communication process. Lin noticed that they didn't know much about the 'moon', so the moon probably wouldn't affect this place. In addition, they didn't seem to know that it was snowing. So it really didn't snow here?
This feeling was not bad. Although the moon was more interesting, it would also cause a lot of troublesome problems … Snow would be even more troublesome. The entire Dong Tianlin would be in a state of boredom.
Tucker and the other skeletal dragons quickly recorded the stars. Lin then told them to record every change every once in a while. It would take them a few days to record all the changes.
Although Lin taught them this, she rarely used the starry sky to find her way. Other creatures preferred to look at the sun instead of the starry sky. Some creatures also liked to put small magnets in their bodies to find their way.
But the stars were enough. For the skeletal dragons...
After recording, the furry ball slowly floated down and landed on the sculpture they made. Tucker's furry ball was bigger than Lin's, so it just happened to land on the sculpture.
Tucker was good at drawing the starry sky. The other skeletal dragons seemed to be slightly worse. However, they just needed to know what they were drawing.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed across the sky. It only lasted for less than a second before it dissipated instantly. Tucker immediately shouted and drew the light on top of the sky.
That kind of light was called a 'shooting star'. Because Lin had many 'eyes', she often saw it, but what exactly was it? A moving star? Perhaps the giant fireballs that fell from the sky were this kind of star...
That's right, I have to solve this mystery. I have to solve the mystery of the starry sky! What were the stars? The sun and Yue Lin could basically confirm that they were giant glowing spheres that were very close to this world. But what were the stars? Were they spheres that were very far away?
This wasn't the first time Lin had thought about this question. Lin also didn't stop observing the starry sky. Although these wonderful things couldn't be touched, they always flickered in the sky, providing a rare light to the night.
There were also many creatures that moved according to the changes in the starry sky, but no one seemed to try to approach them.
Maybe there was? Lin just hadn't noticed it yet. There were too many wonderful creatures in this world.
Lin had thought about approaching them, but no matter how good a flying creature was, it would be difficult to continue ascending after reaching a certain height. This was mainly related to the thinning of the air and other problems.
Lin's current troops all used hovering gas or wings. In addition to jet flight, they all relied on air. If they wanted to fly higher, they had to rely on some other power source to fly...
What kind of power could they rely on? Continuous explosions of explosives? Or some other kind of impact?
Although there seemed to be a lot of options, none of them seemed reliable. Furthermore, the impact had to be quite large.
In short, the distance between the ground and the starry sky was like a layer of barrier that prevented flying creatures from approaching the starry sky. But recently, because Lin had been creating the Styx Cannon, she discovered something interesting.
In the past, most of Lin's bombs would fly on their own after being shot out. Now, Lin preferred to use pressure hammers and explosives to shoot them out. When using pressure hammers and explosives to rapidly shoot the bombs, Lin discovered that the speed of the bombs could reach a very high level, even faster than the speed of sound...
But even so, they still couldn't penetrate the Plague Dragon's carapace, although this wasn't the main point.
The main point was that Lin believed that if something moved at a high speed, it might be able to break through the barrier in the sky. But how fast would that be? Lin made some calculations and found that it might require a speed of several kilometers per second.
This was only based on the information obtained from the preliminary contact with the barrier. There should be more things to consider and more complicated calculations to be carried out. Calculations were not a problem for Lin at the moment, because the number of cells she had was almost endless, but Lin still couldn't reach that speed. She needed to greatly improve herself...
There were many ways to improve herself. She needed to slowly experiment, but at least she had a direction to research... It felt like when she first came to land, but this was much more difficult than going from sea to land.
At the same time, Lin also discovered that although the faster the speed, the greater the attack power, there were still some very strong carapaces that could block this kind of attack. So, Lin had to research even more powerful carapaces at the same time.
Attack power and defense power should be equal. If the attack power was too strong, it might make things very difficult to control.
Lin had now discovered that there was more than one kind of substance that could be combined into explosives. There were many other kinds of substances with different strengths. Lin had also discovered that some creatures could combine liquids to produce explosive reactions to attack or defend. This was quite interesting and required more research.
Now that the sky was slowly brightening, the humerus dragons finally finished drawing the stars before the night faded away. Because they had to record the changes of the stars in different days and nights, they had to give each day and night a name.
At this time, Lin found the word 'week' in her thoughts.
Monday had a total of seven days and nights, and each day had a different name. It could be said that they were the 'Seven Planets', which were Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Sun, Moon. Another name was' One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six days'. It sounded very complicated, but why was it called that? Was there a special reason?
Lin did not see any relevant explanation in her thoughts...
The seven days and nights recorded the periodic changes of some things, but Lin thought that this kind of unit to record periodic changes was usually not very accurate, so she used this name for the time being. If the change of the stars exceeded seven days and nights, she would come up with another name.
During the day, the humerus dragons had finished drawing. Tucker was leading his tribe to prepare for the hunt. They now liked to tie sharp stones and vines to wooden sticks to form a combination called 'spear', which was much stronger than the wooden sticks they used to use.
Because the humerus dragons were now staying in the trees, the dragon perches were slowly changing according to their habits. They grew thicker trunks to bear the humerus dragons' weight, and sometimes they would even coil the trunks together to form a small platform in the air.
The benefits of symbiosis were becoming more and more apparent, and it was almost time for Lin to set off.
The pom-poms floated in the air and flew to the top of a tree. Looking at the endless forest, Lin was ready to fly to a random place.
"Caw!" Suddenly, Tucker's cry came from below. Lin found that Tucker had climbed to the top of the tree.
Tucker knew that Lin was going to leave, and his tribe knew as well. Lin had told them not to have any strange reactions, so they acted as usual.
However, Tucker still climbed over, and Lin saw that he was holding an oval object in his hand. Floating astronomy.
