Chapter 2573 Ancient Bus
The detection device...it is said that it has been floating throughout the void tunnel since the beginning.
It is like a floating storm, and all living things passing by will have their information recorded and transmitted to the manufacturing device.
Although the nature of the detection device has not changed, its... size has changed.
But according to the Sand Ball Guardians, when they first noticed the detection device, it was only a few hundred meters in diameter.
Later, the detection device continued to increase in size, and finally reached the size of a star.
Of course, its detection range is not just as large as a star, it is usually much larger than its own volume...
But in fact, even the sand ball guard has no idea how big it is.
However, the detection device can become larger or smaller... Later, when the tunnel collapsed, the function of the detection device changed.
The information it sent became less and less, until it disappeared completely.
Shoushaqiu thought that the detection device might have disappeared, or its function might have been damaged or something, in short, it could no longer be used.
After that, the Sand Ball made some replacement detection devices to transmit information to the manufacturing devices to continue detection.
If the detection device is still there, Lin would also like to see what it is.
But now we can only study the other two devices.
These two devices have been evolving like living organisms for quite some time...their body structures have changed countless times.
According to the Sand Guardian, the time when they changed the most was when it discovered the bus creature.
There are many kinds of bus creatures discovered by Shoushaqiu.
Because Lin was very interested in this, I specifically asked more questions about this...topic.
The creatures described by Shoushaqiu were much more primitive than the current bus creatures, and their initial abilities were... very weak.
Therefore, Lin felt that they might be the ancestors of the current bus creatures, or some special subspecies.
Initially, there were quite a few small buses, which were generally several hundred meters in size when fully grown... There were also many types of them.
According to Shoushaqiu's description, their appearance is similar whether they are young or adult, not as varied as the ones Lin is encountering now.
Moreover, they reproduce completely in the void, and their teleportation abilities are different for each species.
Some can only teleport over distances of tens or hundreds of kilometers, while others can teleport across galaxies. The teleportation capabilities of different types vary greatly.
There were some very special kinds at that time.
This type can be called 'mini type' because their size is very, very small compared to other buses.
Generally, the largest one is only about ten meters, but even so small they have the ability to teleport.
Although it can only teleport over short distances of a few hundred or a thousand meters, it has special abilities that other buses do not have.
That's where they can find... the passage.
Because at that time the channel brain deliberately hid the channel and it only appeared occasionally.
This makes it very difficult for most creatures to find the location of the passage, but this mini bus can find the location of the passage and get into it.
The habits of these buses are similar to those of wild animals, and it seems that because of this their arrival did not attract the attention of the channel brain.
As some mini buses were wandering around in the passage, they discovered the location of the model sand sea.
Just like they can find passages outside, they can also find the hidden location of the model sand sea and then drill into it.
The way of life of these bus creatures is generally to float in the void and absorb the surrounding matter as food.
There is little suitable matter in the void, so they usually have to wander for a long time before they can find food.
After discovering that there were so many...models in the Model Sand Sea that could be used as food, some mini buses stayed here.
And they never left again, and began to reproduce and thrive here.
The diameter of an adult minibus is about ten meters, and their cubs are even smaller, only a few centimeters when they are born.
Of course, creatures that small don’t have the ability to teleport, and they usually burrow around in the sand sea to get food.
Some bus cubs encountered a manufacturing device located in the sea of sand.
And Shoushaqiu discovered something more interesting, that is, the manufacturing device identified the bus baby as manufacturing material.
In fact, this has never happened, because occasionally some creatures would enter the sand sea, but the manufacturing devices have always only used the materials sent by the outside collection devices for manufacturing.
And they will not build models when they do not receive a command signal.
However, after encountering these bus babies, they began to behave strangely and started using the bus babies as materials.
Because these bus babies have no ability to resist, and the collection device at this time still retains some mechanical arms and the like, it is easy for them to catch the bus babies and put them into their bodies... and disassemble them.
But it seemed that some subtle parts had been preserved, and Shoushaqiu had not studied them too carefully.
After this happened, all the mini buses left, and later they flew out of the passage... and returned to the void to continue drifting.
Later, over a long period of time, Shoushaqiu noticed that new changes had taken place in those manufacturing devices.
In this process of change, they slowly abandoned all...ordinary methods.
In other words, it has abandoned all limb-like structures such as those for grasping or crawling.
And all kinds of new structures grow in the body...
These materials changed the way they were once made, and slowly it began to be crafted entirely using... teleportation.
And use teleportation to obtain materials.
At the end of these changes, it became what Lin sees now, like a floating crystal, and its internal structure was also like a bus creature.
It felt as if it had merged with the young it had eaten, and indeed these manufacturing devices had grown the capabilities of the bus creature.
However, it continued to make model sand and its personality did not change much.
The sand ball didn't know why the two of them merged together, and after it turned into a bus-like creature, it... never changed much again.
And according to Shoushaqiu's description, those ancient bus creatures... did not have cell structures in their bodies.
If they are the ancestors of today's bus creatures, then this is most likely an ability they acquired later.
If not, it means these bus creatures are special.
Lin can find these ancient bus structures in the current manufacturing equipment. Although they have no cells at all...
But Lin can learn a lot of things through them.
At the same time, Lin also did some other investigations during this period.
Lin believes that the sand ball...can completely control this channel and modify the rules at the deepest part of the channel.
