Chapter 488
Almost all organisms with cellular structures on the earth have a common structure: mitochondria. It stores its own genetic structure and is independent of the genetic structure of the cell nucleus. It only divides together when the cells divide, thus entering new cells. It coexists with all life in this form, and plays a simple and important role: it provides energy to cells.
Without a symbiotic organ, death will come to the cells, and then the death of life. The chemical energy provided by mitochondria is the source of energy that drives biological movement, from the amoeba to the blue whale.
The ghost's warship creatures are different. They have a variety of cellular energy organs and can use a variety of energy, some of which can store a lot of energy. The z insect happily ate these cells and then began to change its own state.
Just like the relationship between mitochondria and cells. Billions of years ago, large cells tried to phagocytize small cells, and small cells tried to parasitize large cells, and mitochondria successfully reached a balance with other cells, thus forming a stable relationship. In the long run, mitochondria only left the genes needed to provide energy, and most of the others were transferred out were learned and absorbed by the nucleus, and passed down from generation to generation. The same is true for zworms, keeping their cells alive and reaching a stable balance, learning, retention and evolution with newly added cells. Zhao Mai used natural force to ensure the survival of zworms and used psychic power to control the entire process. zworms are still just an organ and cannot be considered a complete organism, but each of its cells left Zhao Mai's spiritual imprint, making it a whole.
"What a spectacular creature." Diana looked up at the battleship's "heart and liver" and couldn't help but exclaim. When they passed by the battleship's "stomach", "intestines" and "lungs" everyone sighed like this. But what surprised everyone the most was the super-light speed engine of the ghost battleship.
These are two huge cylindrical organs lying flat, with a diameter of twenty meters and a length of about thirty meters, just at the protruding back of the entire warship. The cylinders are covered with a mesh-like structure similar to blood vessels, and the energy generated from other parts gathers here, making the two "engines" slightly pulsate like breathing.
Next to the cylinder is also a ghost's energy device to provide energy for explosive flights. These devices have gradually grown with warship creatures, just like mitochondria and cells, and when they reach equilibrium one day, they will become one.
"It's really incredible." Zhao Mai felt the most deeply here. He said to Xiaohua: "At the beginning, the creatures just swam in the water and slowly rose to the water surface. When they saw the land, they wanted to find out, so they swam up and then learned to crawl."
"They climbed on the ground, their vision grew higher and higher. When they wanted to find out, they got up, and then learned to walk, and they learned to run and jump."
"They looked up, saw the vast sky, smelled the breath of freedom. When they wanted to find out, they tried to move upward, climbed in the air with their hands, kicked off the ground with their legs, and then learned to fly."
Zhao Mai held up his hands and signaled the entire warship creature: "They saw the starry sky and the infinite new frontier without any seals, so they continued to embark on the journey of exploration, slowly developing to the current level. This was not the great journey that started with a small cell after the god said 'I want to fly', but the great journey started with a small cell."
"It seems that you have a deep understanding. Should you keep a part of it in my body and I will keep it for you? This is a unique insight." Xiaohua said seriously: "Although I know you will have a deep understanding one day, I didn't expect that it would be at this time. Leaving the earth and entering a new environment is indeed very helpful to you."
"Didn't the druid go to various environments and experience the natural power there to enhance your perception and ability?" Zhao Mai responded modestly: "I just have some conveniences, and I go farther than most druids and see more. If it comes to time, I only leave my insights at this time, but I am actually very stupid."
Although he said that, Zhao Mai had no intention of refusing. He picked up the reserve grain, placed his hand on the flowerpot, and taught Xiaohua his experience to him through the sensing of the natural force. This experience was also very helpful to Xiaohua. If she could learn how to integrate her own perceptions and establish a balance between "self-spirit", "druid perception" and "body growth", perhaps she could usher in new development. Xiaohua was very satisfied with the spiritual state where she was able to give birth to the tree demon, but Zhao Mai believed that this should be far from the end of the road.
After clearing the power compartment and superluminal engine compartment, the remaining ghosts were mostly minor problems, at least not affecting the maneuverability of the ship. Shepard checked the ammunition, "Diana, Mike, I don't have much ammunition anymore. Is it all up to you next, no problem?"
"No problem." Diana waved her sword: "I'm not sweating yet."
"I'm fine, either." Zhao Mai said to Shepard: "But should we notify the bridge and Atlantis of the situation here?"
"That's right." Shepard knocked on the headset. After saying a few words, he found that the superluminal engine was starting to start. A strong energy pulsation gathered in the two cylindrical organs, and the force field waves generated slowly pushed everyone out. "Rodney, what happened?"
"You should ask Terra in detail, but I know that's it." Rodney's voice slowly rang in the headset: "Atlantis' deep space radar discovered that the ghost fleet has accelerated, and the earliest battleships will arrive in ten minutes, instead of the expected three days later. The ghost was rushing at no cost. Atlantis had taken off and after leaving the atmosphere, it would start the super-light engine and leave. Oh, no... Atlantis asked us, can we hold the ghost's spacecraft and reduce the possibility of their tracking of the super-light path in Atlantis City?"
“Can it be done?”
"Theoretically, it's just that we have too few people. Terra can't control such a large spacecraft and so much equipment alone, so her brain will burn."
"I think I can help," Zhao Mai said to Shepard: "I also know a little bit about controlling the spacecraft."
