The problem of fitting was solved, and the number of lifeforms duplicating their own kind skyrocketed exponentially.

… Two... Four... Eight... Sixteen...

The increase in numbers is also accompanied by the unraveling of a large number of 'shackles', which further stimulates the life organism, prompting it to replicate and split into more of its kind.

As the number of clones holding together reaches a certain tipping point, the nature of the life form also changes.

"I ...... I'm Hogu. ”

The living form, that is, Huo Gu, now finally has a clear understanding of himself, and has completely escaped from the previous state of confusion.

At the same time, I have to accept that I have become a 'single-celled organism cluster thinking'.

"No, maybe I'm just accepting the memories of that human named 'Hogu'......"

In this matter, Huo Gu did not dwell on it for long, after all, I think, therefore I am, only by existing in the present, can I be qualified to think about those fanciful things.

Right now, there are the most difficult problems that need to be solved.

That's the part of the gene that the mild phage implants into the DNA of this single-cell cluster.

A mild bacteriophage is still a phage after all, not a good man, even if it is a mild type.

What are bacteriophages?

It is a virus that specializes in infecting microorganisms that invade microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, actinomycetes or spirochetes, the horror killers of the microbial world.

However, unlike those toxic phages, mild phages have a longer reaction cycle.

This is like poisons are also divided into chronic poison and virulent poison, chronic poison is not non-toxic, or not fatal, but the remaining cycle of toxicity is relatively long.

What's even more lethal is that the mild phage infects the dividing replicators as the single cells divide, in other words, the cluster of single-celled organisms that Hogu is now living in has all been infected.

As long as the mild phage enters the last lytic cycle, it means that the group of single-celled organisms hosted by Hogu will also be finished.

And what will happen to Huogu, who loses the boarding carrier, the result is also self-evident.

So, what do I do?

Such a question was placed in front of Hogu, and it was lost in thought.

Bacteria and viruses are essentially the same thing, living organisms with amino acids as the basic structure, but the mode of survival is different......

The gene chain is like a tape in a tape recorder, and only when it is connected can it play its original role......

"It's a bit of a hassle, but it's the only way to go."

After turning his mind from meditation, Huo Gu thought of a stupid method - through DNA 'unwinding', and gradually screening out the gene fragments that replicated the phage.

But before that, it needs to do some preparations.

The first is the selection of the test subject, and instead of choosing a single cell organism that is currently the carrier, Hogu commands the outermost replicator to split into a child body.

After the clone split, it clinged to the clumped single-celled biota under the command of Hogu.

This experiment began with the DNA unwinding of the daughter body, and Huo Gu mentally observed the process very attentively, not daring to relax in the slightest, for fear of missing a certain detail.

Then there is partial transcription, and the part that is untranscribed starts from the gene fragment that replicates the protein structure and gradually expands the replication to both ends.

"Be careful... Be careful...... You have to be more careful......"

Over and over again, Hogu mentally warned himself that it would be very dangerous for him if the transcribed fragments formed a toxic bacteriophage.

The first replication began, and after the protein structure that could be used as a bridge was copied, it was just a few useless proteins, although they formed a docking with the transcribed phage tail, but the shape was just a hairy spherical empty shell, which was completely inconsistent with the phage shell.

Hogu thus determined that one end of the gene strand belonged to the single-cell cluster that he was currently using as a vector, thus focusing his attention more on the other end.

The second replication begins, and this time it is indeed transcribed, but only the outer shell of the bacteriophage, and no genes of the bacteriophage are copied.

Huo Gu is not in a hurry, those who conduct experiments must have enough patience, this is the basic quality of a scientific researcher, and it is the norm for ten years.

At the beginning of the third replication, the bases of the single chain of the gene spontaneously look for their partners to complement themselves, and as the amino acids aggregate to form proteins, the phage finally begins to take shape.

The three pairs of scaffolded tails, and the rocket-shaped protein container attached to the tails, are the shells of the mild phage.

Transcription continues, this time with amino acids combining with each other in completely different forms than before, forming single strands and independently combining base pairs to settle into the phage shell.

Hogu knew that the fragment of the gene it had been searching for had been found.

However, before it could breathe a sigh of relief, what happened next made it nervous again, and its worst fears came up.

The single strand that is replicating does not stop transcribing the phage genes, the number of phages in the daughter cells continues to increase, and the DNA single strand is completely out of control, and the genes must be transcribed at all costs to make phages.

Obviously, these are virulent phages, the most threatening of the phages.

Hogu could probably guess what was going on, the phage's genetic replication was still mutilated, and it was this mutilation that caused the mild phage to transform into a virulent phage.

According to the current development trend, these toxic phages will gradually burst the cell membrane from the inside out, and then infect other single-celled organisms, and perform the 'infection-replication-burst' behavior over and over again.

The first to bear the brunt is the single-cell cluster where Hogu lives.

But fortunately, Huo Gu had already taken precautions against accidents in the experiment.

"Stay away from us."

Hogu gave instructions to the progeny that had not formed a connection to the cluster of single cells.

The progeny, which was filled with bacteriophages, immediately changed its fit state, and quickly moved away from Hogu and disappeared with the power that gushed in the darkness.

Huo Gu was not idle here, taking advantage of those surging forces, and quickly moved in the opposite direction.

After I don't know how long, I don't know how far I ran, and only after Hogu thought he was safe did the single-cell cluster stop moving.

It's far from over, and so far, it's all about gathering information for next steps.

Hogu's target is the offspring of a cluster of single cells.

Next, it has to perform 'surgery' to complete its own rescue.
