Age of the Mist

Chapter 1234 The Strongest Brain

The existence of Qiqiaowenxin made the sixth child's thought energy rapidly increase, approaching the limit of the first heaven.As long as he wants to, at any time he can send out ripples of energy like electric eels, and the hyphae and plaques that entangle him will die immediately.

But he doesn't have a skull, and the driving thoughts will produce fluorescence.Now I don't know my own situation. In order to avoid being found abnormal, it is better to keep a low profile for the time being.

Then kill physically at the cellular level.

In the microscopic world, nerve cells surrounded by countless bacteria should have no power to fight back.But the nerve cells of the sixth child are like a fortress of iron and steel, standing still and calm in the face of the siege of bacteria.Not only has it not been breached, but it has continuously changed its shape, stretching out a series of slender cell-level "tentacles".

Nerve cells are born with the ability to stretch "tentacles", which is the basic pre-skill of neurons.

Now, this skill has become a predation ability.

I saw that the brain cells of the sixth child entered the herd like a tiger, directly opening up unparalleled in the bacterial community.The flagella and capsule of bacteria do not play any role, and they will collapse and kill at the first touch.

In the blink of an eye, countless bacteria had been killed and shredded, and the brain nerves of the sixth child opened huge mouths of the abyss like a monster at the cellular level, and swallowed up all the nearby bacteria.

With the intake of protein, the brain cells generate a subtle energy, which gives Lao Liu the capital to further strengthen the cells.

"Leave the fungus, as a layer of camouflage, and also as a food reserve." Shi Tiexin suggested: "I think we are basically killing at the cellular level now, and we don't need to further strengthen our body strength for the time being, so we should give priority to strengthening our behavior." power."

"Ability to move?" The sixth child wondered, "Brain cells can't grow muscles, so where does the ability to move come from?"

Shi Tiexin asked rhetorically: "Is there no mobility without muscles? Paramecium also has no muscles, so it can move? Don't forget, we are the strongest brains, and our cells are also the ultimate cells. Let the cortical cells pull up, even if It can't achieve real displacement, at least it can speed up the flow of nearby liquid like a sponge, allowing us to capture more bacteria."

"The more predation, the more experience points we get, and the faster we can level up. Otherwise, if you only rely on nearby bacteria to 'surrender' themselves, you may not be able to grow for a long time after you have passed the 'first seven'." eyes."

The sixth child was convinced: "It makes sense, I'll try."

The cells of his cerebral cortex began to vibrate.

In the macroscopic world, this wobble is completely invisible.But in the microscopic world, countless cells sway together to create tiny water currents nearby.There are countless bacteria in this pool. With the emergence of water flow, more and more bacteria are pulled over.

These single-cell individuals also have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they also know how to flick their flagella vigorously, but in the face of the vast and domineering brain, this instinct is too weak.

The monster's brain attacked quickly, quickly devouring the bacteria.

Once you have accumulated enough energy, start pointing skills.

Lao Liu drew inferences from one instance and thought of more ways: "I can do this—"

In order to solve the problem of bacteria escaping, he wove a net at the cell level, and if his own cells were not enough, he used fungal hyphae as thread.The big net was woven quickly, and as long as the bacteria came, they would be caught by the big net, and they couldn't escape even if they ran, and the speed of accumulating energy increased accordingly.

Then move on to the next skill.

"Or it could be—"

To increase the bacteria's access, he employed a trapping strategy at the cellular level.Using biological skills to quickly analyze the composition of nearby bacterial colonies, secretory cells such as the pituitary gland secrete pheromones directed against nearby bacterial species, and then transport the pheromones to the cortex.

These pheromones spread around, like small advertisements distributed all over the street, telling all the bacteria, "Master, come and play!" The bacteria have never been tempted by this, and they immediately swam to this side, and the catch rate skyrocketed .

Followed by the third skill.

"I can still—"

In order to quickly get rid of the swarming bacteria, Lao Liu used the innate supernatural power of nerve cells to order himself to commit suicide.

Nerve cells and killer cells are homologous, and both have the ability to order their own cells to kill themselves.Normally speaking, this kind of ability of the king to make the ministers have to die can only take effect within the body.But now, the sixth child has decided to take long-arm jurisdiction and interfere in the internal affairs of other cells.

He aimed at the components of the colony and made biochemical weapons in a targeted manner.All the bacteria that throw themselves into the net will start the suicide program in the pheromone released by him.

The bacteria surrendered, were arrested, and committed suicide, leaving a large piece of unowned organic matter in the nearby waters, which was swept away by the vast brain.

The speed of accumulating experience has been further increased, and he can finally save some food while being self-sufficient.

The skills are enough for the time being, and the next step is to produce new units.

"It's not enough, it needs to be faster, I need a larger filtering area, and I need real sensory organs."

After several hours of filter feeding, he finally accumulated enough energy to start repairing his own structure.Yuanli turned into an infrastructure maniac and began to repair the missing structure at the cellular level.

Don’t even think about large structures such as bones, muscles, and spinal cord. Just relying on the filter-feeding bacteria to earn money, deducting the energy consumption for maintaining itself, the current energy reserves cannot even create a small bone.

But it can create auditory nerves.

To be precise, it is the vestibulocochlear nerve.

The day when the cranial nerves were opened for the first time seems to be still yesterday, and I still vividly remember them. At that time, I felt that the difficulty of opening the nerves was thinking.Unexpectedly, today I discovered that the biggest difficulty is my nerves.I have no nerves, and I'm still a fart.

Fortunately, the regeneration rate of the Boundless Hegemony is not low.

The vestibulocochlear nerve with a total length of 1.4 cm does not consume much regeneration.After accumulating enough energy, half an hour later, a pair of short, thick, bifurcated nerves grew on the left and right sides of this bare brain.

The end of the auditory nerve lit up with a subtle Nianqi Guangmang. Although there was no tympanic membrane, Nianqi replaced the role of the tympanic membrane, allowing Lao Liu to regain the most basic hearing ability.

In the same way, although the cochlea has not yet been regenerated, the vestibular nerve itself has greatly enhanced his sense of balance.

He heard the voice again, regained control of his posture, as if he had opened a small window in an absolutely closed dark room.

At this moment, he took a deep breath in the space of his mind, and he took a breath.

Most importantly, he is finally no longer a meatball.The surface area of ​​the meat ball is too small, and no matter how we weave a net, it will not be able to obtain enough predation.Although the stretched vestibulocochlear nerve is not long, it is like the claws of shrimps and crabs, and it can play a role beyond all single cells at the cellular level.

In the macro world, a pair of short nerves are covered with hairs, swaying slowly in the water, inconspicuous.

In the microcosm, this pair of nerves wrapped in a big net is like a sword for thousands of miles, swaying horizontally and horizontally, eating whatever they encounter, and the nearby waters are almost emptied by these two "big brooms".

The feeding efficiency of a pair of vestibulocochlear nerves increases the overall feeding speed by 40%.

Lao Liu analyzed: "I felt obvious water flow. Judging from the law of water flow, we should be in a pool with a large area and a large depth. There is water flow in the pool, or it means that there is water in the pool. A device that flips the liquid, or there are holes for inflow and outflow."

"We need to stay as far away from the hole as possible for the time being, and as close to the edge of the pool as possible. There are still too few bacteria floating in the water body, and the colonies that are deposited on the bottom of the pool and cling to the wall of the pool are called abundant."

"So, we're going to dive."

Shi Tiexin nodded secretly, the sixth son got into the mood really quickly, as expected of me.

The sixth child started to act.

His vestibulocochlear nerve was shaking, and the speed was not fast. After all, he had no muscular structure, but his purpose was not to rely on nerves to water ski.He mainly wanted to change various directions, carefully listen to the movement nearby, and analyze his own situation.

After half an hour of detection, he preliminarily judged that the people who were not monitored nearby should have been abandoned in some kind of biochemical pool.

Then he became more courageous.

He gathered as thick a layer of fungus as possible on the surface of the nerves to block the light, and then the brain shimmered, the physical mind technique activated, and the whole brain silently dived down.

At the moment when there is no limbs and trunk, no stomach and dantian, mind skills are the biggest reliance.Although he has not yet broken through to the Second Heaven and does not have the mind pulse, but the knowledge has been learned, it is learned.Shi Tiexin himself knows how to do it, and so does the sixth child, only if he is strong or not, there is no ability.

The mind energy of the first level is poor and weak, and there is no increase in the blessing of the mind pulse, the force of the mind can't be used outside, and even the practitioner himself can't move it.But if it's just a brain, it has become the most convenient means of mobility now.

The brain dives, waving the auditory nerves, releasing weak sound waves like a submarine, and using sonar to explore the surroundings.

The sound waves spread out in circles, and the sixth son's consciousness formed a vague "vision" of sound sense again and again, and there was nothingness around him.

Suddenly, the sonar responded.

There is an object diagonally below.

Looking at the sound wave reflecting surface, the opponent's volume is roughly equivalent to three-fifths of its own.

what is that?
One by one neurons stretched in that direction, Lao Liu concentrated on sensing and guarding, and suddenly his heart jumped, he understood.

It was a mass of organic matter, and a large number of humic fungi gathered nearby.

To him, it was a huge mass of nutrients.It has been filter-feeding for many hours, and the bacteria that have been swallowed together are not more than one-tenth of this mass of organic matter.If you eat this mass, it will definitely be a wave of fat, and you can get a lot of energy.

but.

Shi Tiexin frowned: "Protein? A large number of bacteria? This volume, this environment, this pool, could it be that..."

"Don't talk about it, it doesn't matter, everything is already dead." The sixth child said in a low voice, "Now we want to live and survive, and we must eat what we catch."

Shi Tiexin was taken aback.

The sixth child's adaptation speed is a bit too fast.

The brain swam over and stuck to the mass of protein.The vestibulocochlear nerve stretches its broom, quickly eats up the bacteria on the surface of the protein, and then begins to contact the protein.

is indeed dead.

The sixth child murmured in his heart: "I'm at a dead end, and I have no right to pick and choose. No matter what it is, as long as it is nutritious, I will eat it."
