Chapter 109: Myth in Science, Science in Mythology
Archaea, also known as archaea, archaea, archaea, archaea, etc., are a collective term for single-celled microorganisms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On Earth in the dream world, they may be the oldest living forms, and may even be the ancestors of all living things.
In the theory of chemical evolution, the evolution of organisms is from the earliest inorganic small molecules, evolved into amino acids, nucleotides and other organic small molecules, organic small molecules in turn to form biological macromolecules, at this time there was DNA, and finally biological macromolecules polymerized into the simplest primitive life, and the first batch of polymerized organisms are these archaea, also known as archaeal prokaryotes.
Of course, the theory of chemical evolution is only a conjecture, after all, it is something billions of years ago in the dream world.
But it is undeniable that archaea have existed a long time ago.
If the Earth's age of about 4.6 billion years is compared to a year, then archaea appeared in March.
The birth of mankind was only on December 31, billions of years apart.
According to Zhen Yuanzi's simple words just now, it seems that the worldview of this world is not like the simple mythological world.
Zhen Yuanzi is a form of archaea, a primitive life, a myth in science, and a science in mythology.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu'er was a little excited, and he couldn't help but think of Gao Laozhuang and Gao Cuilan's affairs again.
Now that I think about it, Gao Cuilan's situation and her case are themselves contradictory to the true mythological worldview.
Gao Cuilan is the incarnation of Tai Sui, Tai Sui exists in the mythical world, and it is also recorded in detail in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Strictly speaking, Tai Sui is also a product of the myth of this world - the crystallization of the birth of immortals and human beings.
However, on the earth of the dream world, the definition in the biological community: Tai Sui is a large fungus complex that feeds on organic matter (bacteria, mold spores, etc.) in the air, and has functions such as anti-aging, enhancing immunity, etc. This is a "scientific" term.
Gao Cuilan said that it feeds on "evil poison", and cutting meat can save the lives of villagers, and these characteristics are very consistent with "science".
If you think about it carefully, isn't her case the same as Zhen Yuanzi, "a myth in science, a science in mythology"?
"What was this, what was the world like when you were born?"
Looking at the huge creature in front of him, Jiang Liu'er was a little incoherent for a moment.
It's the excitement of discovering something new, and it's the innate curiosity of human beings.
All the conflicts and contradictions with Zhen Yuanzi before disappeared at this time, and now he just wants to vent all the curiosity about this world in his heart, as well as the incomparable excitement.
"I don't know."
It's a pity that the archaeal fungus Zhen Motoko is waving tentacles - maybe they shouldn't be called tentacles, those tiny, slippery, cool strip-shaped twisted animals, which have a biological name called "flagella", which are the locomotor organs of bacteria.
He said in a chaotic and very indifferent tone: "I only know that I have existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. Before I took shape, I had no mind, no soul, just a blur, floating here and there, and by the time I had my sanity, the world had become what I knew it to be. ”
"Really......"
Jiang Liu'er was very disappointed, but after thinking about it, she was also relieved.
If a single-celled organism has sanity before it becomes a sperm, then it is terrible.
"What about your kind? What about other archaea? Jiang Liu'er continued to ask, "And I heard that there is a 'plague god' in this world, if the plague god exists, then you should still have the same kind of people alive, because the plague god is a god who creates evil poisons in this world, no, it is a god who creates bacteria and viruses." ”
"No, there is no one of my kind in this world."
Zhen Yuanzi shook his tentacles, shaking his huge body, and denied Jiang Liu'er's words for a moment.
As he shook, some translucent liquid fell down again, making a terrifying sound on the ground.
"Because, I am the god of plagues."
"You, you're the god of plagues?" Jiang Liu'er was almost stunned.
Zhen Yuanzi suddenly broke out a very powerful message, a piece of news that caught him off guard.
Well, he now feels that the past few decades have been in vain, and today he has encountered so many incredible things in one day.
If Huang Fengling's matter gave him emotion, then Zhen Yuanzi's matter was to smash his head with a golden hoop stick.
"Yes, the new evil poison released every year is the product of my research and many experiments on the effect, it is my copy and substitute, and it is also the task assigned to me by Heavenly Court...... The god of plague is just a name, and he has no real position. ”
Zhen Yuanzi said lightly, his tone was still indifferent.
It seems that things like releasing germs and viruses are commonplace for him.
"Really? Then you're amazing, and it's hard work. Jiang Liu'er sighed.
It's very strange, obviously from his point of view, what Zhen Yuanzi does is the kind of behavior that "hurts heaven and reason".
Studying germs, viruses, and taking human lives one by one should be "indirect killing".
However, Jiang Liuer was unprecedented, inexplicable, and incredible, and felt that this kind of thing was normal.
Because he thinks it's very scientific, very ecological, part of the bacteria are used to make people sick.
Even if Zhen Yuanzi deliberately let bacteria be born and "intentionally kill people", this is also his job.
As a result, Jiang Liuer did not kill Zhen Yuanzi as usual.
And he also had a very strange idea.
He suddenly felt that Zhen Yuanzi was a person, no, this monster could speak.
Like Mel, it may be in a different way, but they are both moving towards "non-mythology".
Human beings are such wonderful and contradictory creatures, just one thing in common, one thought, can be relieved.
Jiang Liu'er is also a human being, so he spared Zhen Yuanzi's "crime" very inexplicably.
-- Perhaps as the journey progressed, he gradually became more and more emotional, and he was no longer the same as he had been.
"By the way, my apprentices, can you put them down?" After some sighing, Jiang Liu'er remembered something very important, "I'm afraid that if they stay in your body for a long time, there will be any danger." ”
"Yes, the winner is king, you have defeated me." Zhen Yuanzi waved her tentacles and shook her body.
Of course, now he can only make such an action, and he doesn't have the vivid expression of a human form. (To be continued.) )
