Where … was this place?
She only knew that she was surrounded by liquid … Was this the feeling of being in water? But there was only boundless darkness around her.
… Because the outer layer was covered.
Lin slowly dissolved the outer layer from the inside. When the last layer was left, Lin created a layer of transparent shell, and then forcefully squeezed the last layer open.
"Gulp." A few bubbles floated around, and the surrounding environment lit up again. Lin saw a somewhat blue water, and it felt very strange …
But most importantly, this place was quite far away.
She was surrounded by a blue color, and her body felt extremely light. There was no cold here, nor was there the howling of the storm. This was an active sea, and this was the destination of the Leviathan!
That's right … This was the surface of the moon! The Leviathan had succeeded, and now Lin had successfully reached the surface of the moon.
Sure enough, as Lin imagined, the surface of the moon was an ocean, and it was even bluer than the ocean on land, and more turbulent …
Lin had already thought of all kinds of problems before, especially the cause of the explosion. Although she had done many calculations, carrying so much fuel still felt very dangerous.
So, Lin created many special 'fragments' in the Leviathan's body. These fragments were very small, and were wrapped in a completely sealed layer of solid shell.
This layer of shell had many characteristics such as resistance to high temperature and impact, and there were some very 'primitive' cells inside. These cells could live in almost any environment, including an oxygen-free environment, high or low temperature. They had very strong vitality.
These shell containing cells were almost all over the Leviathan's body. When the Leviathan exploded, it spread out. It would also spread out. Perhaps it was because the Leviathan was already very close to the Moon when it exploded, so when it exploded, some fragments fell into the Moon, just like meteorites.
Now, Lin could feel that there were still some fragments around her, and they were distributed on the moon, and there were also some fragments floating in the dark space outside …
The fragments that fell on the moon were very small. The largest of them was no more than five centimeters, and the smallest was only a few millimeters. Although the fragments that Lin created at the beginning were of different sizes, they seemed to have been worn out after falling into the moon.
They didn't have vision, so Lin had to dissolve their shells and grow eyeballs. However, when the eyeballs were grown, the cells inside wouldn't come into contact with the outside environment to prevent poisonous substances from entering. Lin still didn't know what the environment was like, because the water was blue, it gave off a strange feeling. Other than that, there were also a lot of air bubbles, but he didn't know if they were oxygen.
However. The creature that Lin was looking forward to the most had yet to be discovered. In any case, he had to gather the fragments first …
Lin saw a very small island not far ahead, only about ten meters wide.
With that in mind, Lin slowly dissolved the fragment inside her body, transforming the one-centimeter-long fragment into a space where she could move freely. Organs and muscles were formed inside the fragment, some of the muscles covered the surface of her body and melted away from the fragment's original shell. These muscles then formed flippers similar to those of a fish and quickly swam through the water.
She felt a lot lighter here, probably due to gravity. Although she didn't know what gravity was, Lin knew that it had something to do with the size of the object. Even a random flipper could reach an extremely fast speed.
While Lin was thinking, the water flow around her suddenly became a lot faster. The fragments in the water were instantly washed away by the current, but the first fragment had already grabbed the edge of the island and slowly climbed up with its sharp, joint-like legs.
After climbing up to the surface, looking back, one could see a constantly roiling ocean, while the sky was covered by a thick layer of fog, making it impossible to see the clouds or the sky.
However, there was light here, and the sun also shone in, providing warmth to this place.
After the ocean slowly calmed down, the surrounding fragments quickly climbed up to the island, but there were still more fragments scattered further away, so Lin had them find another safe place.
After all the fragments had climbed up, Lin once again looked at the ocean around her.
The ocean here felt very similar to the one on land … Although the color was a little strange. Now, Lin felt that it was time to move on to the next part …
This was the most important part. A group of several centimeter-long fragments couldn't be explored, so she had to find nutrients and let them grow into bigger … fragments.
So, Lin had a two-centimeter-long fragment slowly climb to the beach, then it began to slowly open its transparent shell and inhaled some of the air above the moon …
At this moment, Lin suddenly felt like she had smelled excrement, and the fragment that had absorbed the air fell to the ground … dead.
As expected, the air here was poisonous. This situation wasn't strange, but she didn't expect it to die so quickly …
There were many kinds of gases in the air, but on the land where Lin came from, oxygen and other harmless gases occupied a large part of the air, and the air above the moon was obviously not composed of these harmless gases.
When Lin first flew up, she thought that if there was a layer of gas surrounding the outside of each sphere, and the spheres didn't touch each other, then their gas composition should be different.
The cells in this fragment had undergone specialization to form organs and were no longer in a 'primitive' state like before. Lin specially made a living system similar to before to absorb the gas, and tried to see the effects of the poisonous gas.
With that in mind, Lin had another fragment open its shell. The cell type of this fragment was a little different, Lin created it based on some fungi that lived near underwater volcanoes.
After opening the shell, the fragment that inhaled the poisonous gas didn't die immediately, but Lin felt a special feeling …
After the gas entered the cell, it would damage the internal structure of the cell, block the nutrient synthesis system inside, and cause the cell to die …
However, the effect this time was much slower than before, and Lin found that some cells weren't affected.
So that's how it is … Lin now knew how the poisonous gas worked. Lin closed the fragment and devoured the damaged parts, then formed some new cells. After that, Lin opened the shell of the fragment again.
Now, the air smelled a lot fresher. These new cells could completely filter out the harmful elements in the air.
However, although there seemed to be oxygen in the air, the amount was very small, so there was no point in absorbing it now. However, because the poisonous gas would harm the cells even if it touched them, it was necessary to make these changes. As long as Lin knew how the poison worked, she could think of ways to resist it.
Right now, the cells in these fragments were in a non-oxygenated state, so their activity was slightly slower than in an oxygenated state, but because the gravity here was lighter, it wasn't too slow.
Moreover, Lin had a few ways to create oxygen. One was to use cells that absorbed light to create oxygen. Recently, Lin had also learned how to create oxygen using brainwaves, but because the fragments didn't have brains, she couldn't use it for the time being. Brains consumed a lot of nutrients, and the synthesis process was slower, so Lin didn't plan to create one for now.
Both methods required water, and there was water everywhere here, so it was easy to do.
But what kind of problems would they encounter in the water?
Lin had a fragment crawl to the edge of the island, and gently licked some seawater that stuck to the edge of the island.
And then, the fragment died.
As expected, the water was also poisonous. No wonder the color was so strange. Although there were more than a hundred fragments here, Lin didn't want to waste them like this …
However, the poison in the water seemed to be easier to deal with than in the air. Lin had another fragment swallow some water, but this time, it didn't directly absorb the water. Instead, it stored it in its body, and then extended a large number of sharp tentacles into the water to monitor it.
So that's how it is. The water was mixed with many strange things. Some of them would affect the synthesis of nutrients in the cells like the poisonous gas, damaging the internal structure of the cells, and so on. These strange impurities seemed to make the water show a light blue color.
Lin quickly reorganized some of the cells in the fragment's body, forming a 'filter'. Now, it could absorb the water and filter out the impurities. After filtering out the safe water, the other cells in the body could absorb it.
Although it was a success, Lin felt a little disappointed.
The water here … didn't have any cells at all …
In the sea, except for a few places, a large number of microscopic creatures could be seen in almost every part of the water.
But this month, there seemed to be no living creatures in the sea.
If only this area was like this.
At this time, the fragment began to produce some green cells. The back of the fragment slowly opened up, and the synthesized green back faced the sky and began to slowly absorb the light energy as nutrients …
Finally, she could get some nutrients. This was a good method. Using light and water to synthesize nutrients, but recently, Lin had been looking for a way to produce nutrients without using water.
The moment the Leviathan flew out of the ground, Lin felt that there might be a way to directly use light energy.
But for now, it was better to use this method. The surrounding fragments began to create the same structure. They began to absorb light and grow their bodies.
The light here wasn't very good, but there was still light. After obtaining some nutrients, they would produce more green cells, and their growth would become faster and faster. Floating Astronomy.
