Chapter 196
What do intelligent creatures in two-dimensional space look like?
This question has been thought about by Lu Entropy after he learned about the internal space-time environment of the giant universe.

In Lu Entropy's conception, they are likely to look like microorganisms, their bodies are mainly liquid, and the outer layer is a circle of skin membrane, and then every time they eat, they will complete eating like endocytosis and exocytosis of cells.

The reason for thinking this way is mainly because it is unlikely that two-dimensional organisms have organs such as intestines.

What is the gut?
It is a twisted and crutched meat tube that connects from the mouth to the excretion port.

Yes, the intestinal tract has many functions, including absorbing nutrients and so on, but this still does not change the fact that it is a fleshy tube connected from the mouth to the excretion port.

So what does a tube on a two-dimensional plane look like?
These are two parallel and non-intersecting lines.

In other words, if a creature in a two-dimensional space grows a two-dimensional intestine, the creature will be divided into two pieces from the mouth to the excretory opening, one on the left and one on the right.

However, when Lu Entropy saw these two-dimensional creatures discovered by microscopic creatures, he realized that his imagination was still too barren.

These intelligent creatures in two-dimensional space really have intestines, they even have blood vessels, and their structures are much more complicated than the cell body-like structure that Lu Entropy originally conceived.

The body of two-dimensional creatures is as flat as a piece of gold leaf spread out, and the internal structure is clear at a glance from the three-dimensional perspective of microscopic creatures.

Intestines and blood vessels are indeed two disjoint lines, but they are connected at the same time as they are separated. The reason is that the walls of these tubes are magnetic and can influence each other to form a connection.

These two-dimensional creatures live in liquid water.

Although the water is only as thick as one water molecule, it still has fluidity. Therefore, many flagella-like organs grow outside the body surface of the two-dimensional organisms, which act as paddles, and the body becomes a body with little resistance in the water. Fusiform.

They have four tentacles and a pair of eyes. Their eyes are very different from the eyes of three-dimensional creatures. They are semi-circular photosensitive organs, similar to the immovable compound eyes of flies and dragonflies, and twist like fish when necessary. Body, to observe the surrounding situation.

However, they don't often do this kind of action, because it will make the blood vessels and intestines squeezed to a certain extent, which will be uncomfortable. Usually, they use the flagella-like organs outside the body to stir the water flow and rotate it as a whole.

It is worth mentioning that these two-dimensional intelligent creatures also have gender differences, and social culture also has a sense of shame, so there will be differences in treatment between the sexes, and they will also wear clothes.

It's just that it's more troublesome to wear these clothes. There are lines. These lines are attached to the gaps between the outer flagellar organs. The men's lines are shorter, and the women's lines are longer, which are easy to distinguish.

However, from the perspective of the swarm, these creatures have no cover at all, and even the pulsating heart inside their bodies can be clearly seen...

Using the classification of earthlings, these are Two-dimensional people.

Those female fusiform creatures with colorful long lines attached to their bodies, four tentacles and a pair of flat semicircular compound eyes are real two-dimensional girls.

"There are no girls in Two-dimensional, just like there are no wives in wife cakes..." Lu Entropy muttered to himself.

The planetary creature that was Lu Entropy's residence heard Lu Entropy's muttering, and asked in puzzlement: "Two-dimensional? Girl? What is that? What is wife cake?"

Lu Entropy waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about it. These are some terms in my hometown. They have nothing to do with the current battle. You just concentrate on doing your own thing and ensuring my safety."

"Oh."

The unidentified planetary creature responded obediently to the order.

Consciousness sinks into the swarm network, and Lu Entropy asks the microscopic creatures exploring in the two-dimensional space of the giant universe.

"Have you found the knowledge base of this civilization?"

A microscopic creature replied: "Found it, they are not hidden."

Another microscopic creature retorted: "That's the convenience brought by the different dimensions. This civilization is unfolding to the bee colony without any secrets. It's not that we don't pay attention to the knowledge of civilization."

Speaking of the microscopic creature, he reported to Lu Entropy: "Lu Entropy, I found a pair of scholars of this civilization who were imprisoned in the center of the planet and are about to be executed. I think it is necessary to rescue them."

"Through communication, the bee colony can learn everything about this two-dimensional civilization as quickly as possible."

Lu Entropy thought for a while, nodded and said: "Approved, but it must be concealed. I don't want the bee colony to expose too much light information in the giant universe."

"Understood." The microscopic creature replied.

At this time, Horn and his teacher Micah were wandering in the prison. Occasionally, they would think of something, and then they would start to count. After the calculation, they would return to this state of wandering.

"Do you... want to live?"

Such a strange voice suddenly appeared in the minds of Horn and his teacher.

The two of them twisted their bodies in astonishment, looked around, and asked in unison, "Who?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I can rescue you and keep you alive."

Listening to the voice answering in their minds like this, Horn and his teacher Micah were startled and suspicious. There was no way, this situation of directly making the voice appear in their minds was too magical and too contrary to their beliefs. Got it.

Micah asked: "Are you sent by the monarch?"

"No." The microscopic creature replied.

As he said that, the microcosmic creature added: "Just answer my question honestly. As for other things, I won't answer the two dead people, because it's unnecessary."

After being reminded of their status as death row prisoners by microscopic creatures, Micah and his student Horn both felt a little heavy.

At the same time, he was also racking his brains to think about the identity of the other party.

After thinking about this kind of magical method, only the witches and demons described in the legends are suitable for it. According to legends, there is often a price for ordinary people to let witches and demons do things.

With a skeptical attitude, Micah tentatively asked: "What is the price you paid for saving us? I hope you can explain clearly."

"What is the price, you are not qualified to know now." The microscopic creature replied.

Hearing this kind of answer, Mika half-believed the identity of the other party's witch, so he asked: "Can this price be transferred? I want to pay the price instead of my students."

"Teacher, this..."

Horn wanted to say something, but was stopped by his teacher.

"Yes, the transaction is established."

Accompanied by the voice in their minds, they were shocked to find that the world began to change.

Originally, in their field of vision, they could only see various lines, but now, countless lines began to disperse, overlap, and interweave...

The world began to change from order to chaos. They saw a plane with many circles on it. One of them looked familiar. There were many strange creatures in that circle. They could be distinguished from their clothes. It's Dill people like them.

Horn and his teacher Micah can no longer be described in their civilized words.
