Chapter 37: The Beginning of the Inheritance

After the special amino acids in the water are absorbed, Hogu exports various other types of amino acids and proteins from the water, and prompts the collector to complete the two things of 'collecting organic material' and 'releasing it to the rhizome system for absorption'.

After completing these two things, the collector will receive a special amino acid from the rhizome system, and the collector will quickly learn this process under the temptation of food, even if it has not yet awakened to the concept of 'me'.

To put it bluntly, it is the animal taming skill in the circus, not a high-end skill.

Little by little, the gatherer adjusts his cognition under the inducement of Hogu, and records it in his brain as empirical knowledge, that is, as long as he puts strange things on those vine-like structures, he can get delicious food.

After such a continuous period of stocking in the water, the gatherer will understand that only the rhizome system can provide it with food, and then an equation will appear in his mind, the rhizome system is equal to the food is secured, and the destruction of the rhizome system means starvation, so the concept of protection will be derived under the drive of desire.

Throughout the process, Hogu is closely watching the changes in the collector's brain, the collector's memory belongs to learned memory, which should theoretically be non-heritable, and Hogu is ready to transform into heritable memory, which wants every newborn collector to know what to do, which is why it has to go to such great lengths.

In addition, Hogu also tested his control over the cells on the collector's body, and the result was that there was indeed a decrease in control, and although the connection still existed, it could no longer be completely dominated like Hu, as if it had been weakened by something.

As time passed, the rhizomes that climbed to the bottom of the sea finally spread to the edge of the underwater cavern, and tangled with each other to block the underwater cave.

More than a dozen gourds were made by rhizomes, and under the command of Hogu, they used the gravel and gravel from the bottom of the sea to hide the rhizomes that spread to the bottom of the sea.

Then, it attaches to the rhizome, transforms into a cocoon, and re-conceives itself.

Huogu directly overlayed the information collected during this time into the interior of the cocoon, so that Hu's genes could be expressed in the form of collectors.

After a while, one by one, the gatherers broke out of their shells and became the first macroscopic multicellular organisms to appear on the planet.

They have the same appearance as Hu, but they are different, they are no longer limited by the owner's travel distance, they are no longer restricted by the life field and can move freely, upgrading from tools to working servants of the contractor.

The gatherers turned their eyes inexplicably, observing this new world that they had never seen before, and the vast environment under the sea was different from the narrow 'world' of their inherited memories, and the inconsistency between reality and memory could not help but make them feel a little overwhelmed.

Still, driven by hunger, they began collecting in the ocean.

At first, due to the lack of physical ability and the marine environment, the collectors struggled to swim in the sea, compared to the stable water environment in the underground cavity, the current in the ocean can be regarded as 'choppy', and the collectors often have accidents that cannot control the speed and direction, and collide with each other.

Thankfully, the eutrophic environment of the Plutozoic caused a flood of microorganisms, and even this delay was enough to collect enough organic material for the collectors to barely fill their stomachs.

Of course, there are also individual collectors who have very small collections, and they are completely unable to adapt to the turbulent environment of the seabed, but have hit the underwater reef several times, allowing Hogu to add a lot of organic material to restore them.

Just like Hogu decided to do it, it couldn't be used up and thrown away like a ruthless slave owner, after all, it was working for it, and it would be too much to say if it didn't even have a medical help.

Unable to endure the hunger any longer, the gatherers went near the ones who were eating, wanting a piece of the pie, to which none of the gatherers reacted much.

When they are born, they are all like blank sheets of paper, with no concept of public or private, no concept of stealing, and no possessiveness, so no collector will object.

But Hogu couldn't just sit on the sidelines, the rules were set by him - 'the supply that the gatherer receives depends on the amount of organic material that can be collected'.

And, if left unchecked, will the gathering give rise to 'slackers'? Specializes in snatching food from other gatherers, much like predators farther up in herbivores.

Hogu, who was worried, couldn't just watch these substandard gatherers eat the food of other gatherers, and the rhizome drove the gatherers away and limited its mobility.

The collector wants to break free from the confines of the rhizome, but the rhizome system is really indescribably thick compared to it, like a baby wrestling with a weightlifting champion, and the probability of winning is not higher than zero from the beginning.

"Strange...... What's going on with this weird heartache? ”

Looking at the futile struggling gatherers, Huo Gu felt uncomfortable for no apparent reason, as if he saw that the other party was hungry, and he would be hungry.

"Sympathy? Or is it something else? ”

Hogu waved away this feeling with a little unhappiness, and gathered all the gatherers who failed to meet the target, allowing them to reattach to the rhizome and turn into cocoons.

It's not about retrieving resources, it's Hogu's intention to replicate and transfer the memories of the most skilled gatherers to the brains of these gatherers who are completely ill-adapted to the marine environment.

Although Hogu's authority seems to have been weakened, the connection is still there, and the collectors are designed by it from the inside out, and it is not difficult for it to copy a memory.

If there are still non-compliance, then it will consider recycling as an option.

During the collection, Hogu also did not forget to pay attention to the movement of the sea surface, if the unknown body of the guy reappeared, then it would immediately disconnect the rhizome system connected to the seabed, in a physical sense.

Soon, the second gathering activity began again, and the previous group of gatherers who had not adapted to the seabed environment did not disappoint Hogu, collecting far more organic materials than the other uncocoon collectors, and completing the collection of materials earlier, so that they could have a full meal.

Of course, there are exceptions, there are cases where a cocooned collector fails to meet the standard, but Hogu doesn't plan to pursue it, because that guy is too unlucky, on the way to collect materials, he was suddenly stuck in a atoll, a strong current suddenly appeared in the sea and couldn't get out, which was an accident, and more importantly, Hogu, who had inexplicably crossed through, found some resonance points in the hapless gatherer.

This second collection fully illustrates the advantages of Hogu's adjustment of experiential memory as a hereditary memory, and many collectors know what they should do and how to do it better from birth.

This is an ability that is completely different from the creatures of the earth, and the experience is accumulating, like a snowball, which will get bigger and bigger, and what is at the end of the snowball, even a maker like Hogu does not know.
