Algae without enough light exposure only grow into algal balls, which contain no starch but are composed mostly of water and protein, thus providing neither energy nor a feeling of fullness.
However, it is top-tier for weight loss and muscle gain. Once the Minotaurs switched to algae, they became broad-shouldered, strong-bodied, and not an ounce of excess fat, as sturdy as bulls...
Only with intense light exposure do the algae develop starch, transforming into algae rice, which most organisms need to consume to have the energy to move.
Thus, the Conch Plane could not be self-sufficient; it needed to import a significant amount of food to sustain the life forms there.
Now, looking at the sea surface filled with blooming white algae rice, Negris couldn't help but exclaim, "This lousy light spot's supplementation is really great."
"Not just great for supplementation, this is practically a miracle." Tyrone couldn't help but exclaim.
