Hogu changed the planet, and as a result, the ocean reappeared, and something hidden under the ice was revealed.

A vast landmass......

According to Hogu's rough estimate, it occupies about 50% of the total area of the entire planet.

Hogu could probably guess that the cause was the result of the frequent volcanic activity that was actively created by Twilight.

Heating on land is a huge hassle, because the majority of the land environment is not water, but air, which means that the hive cannot directly absorb water from its surroundings.

You must know that water is inseparable from each individual cell and heating work.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem, and a depression is carved out of the area occupied by the hive to accumulate water, so that the whole hive can be heated normally.

The water is obtained from the ocean, transported over long distances across several kilometers using pipelines, and natural precipitation after the planet's climate recovers.

Of course, the main thing is that the first is the main source of water for the continental hive, and the size of the continent is so large that the oceanic climate cannot enter the depths of the continent, and therefore there is no way to carry out natural rainfall.

It can be expected that over time, when the water in the soil of the mainland is gradually evaporated by Hogu, it will become a desolate desert.

But none of this matters to Huo Gu now, it is no longer a human being, and it is naturally impossible to consider the problem from a human perspective.

Over a period of tens of millions of years, sooner or later, this giant continent will be split by the thermal cycle in the depths of the earth, just like those continents on Earth, and after that, the desert in the central region of the continent will also enter the range of the ocean climate, and will naturally be transformed back into fertile soil.

What really caught Huo Gu's heart was something else, the microbes that had been scattered in the first place.

Not long after the microbes were dispersed, a brutal ecological race began.

At first, autotrophic and heterotrophic types were equal in number, but in order to obtain nutrients, heterotrophs launched a large-scale attack on autotrophs.

The conclusion is self-evident, the heterotrophic type devoured the vast majority of the autotrophic microorganisms with absolute crushing, and only a few were able to escape and survive.

At this time, brainless heterotrophic microorganisms naturally do not think about sustainable development, and as long as enough biomass is accumulated, they will immediately replicate and split into new individuals.

However, due to the sharp decline in the number of autotrophic microorganisms, the target of heterotrophic microorganisms had to be shifted to other heterotrophic microorganisms, and so, the second microbial war began, heterotrophic against heterotroph.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, the defeated heterotrophic type will be driven farther away like the previous autotrophic type, and the winner of the great war will be qualified to continue to remain in the original position.

Then there was the third, the fourth, the fifth......

Life is in this situation, screening out better genes, and the microbial survivors of the war will become more aggressive and more easily kill other microorganisms.

So, those losers in the microbial war have absolutely no way to survive? Not.

After the first microbial war, autotrophic microbes fled to a place far from the microbial battlefield and thrived.

Without the suppression of heterotrophic microorganisms, which are natural enemies, autotrophic types naturally unscrupulously obtain energy and substances from the surrounding environment, transcribing and copying their own kind, and the number will increase exponentially.

This increase will continue until the losers of the Second Microbiological War arrive.

They inhibit the number of autotrophic microorganisms and increase their numbers, and the autotrophic ones will travel farther away to areas where there are no microorganisms to reproduce.

Then, in this new area, what happened will be repeated, and batch after batch of losers will flee to places where autotrophic microbes are thriving and there are no winners of the big war.

That's the cycle, it's this 'you chase me' cycle, and microbes are quickly taking over every part of the planet's oceans.

And then what? When every part of the planet is covered with microorganisms, will autotrophic microorganisms have no way to live?

No, in the subsequent microbial wars, those victors were arguably not exposed to autotrophic microorganisms.

It is for this reason that, as microbes take over the ocean, a rather dramatic situation arises, in which the victors will attack the heterotrophic type of the loser specifically and turn a blind eye to the autotrophic type, which is far weaker than the loser.

In this way, the balance of the microbial community is established.

So, does the development of microorganisms stop at this point?

Apparently not.

Life is wonderful, and every self-replication can be regarded as a vote of life on the path of evolution.

When this vote accumulates to a certain extent, evolution takes place.

This is the ...... for later cell walls, nuclei, organelles and so on a myriad of strange microbial abilities to provide the possibility.

Although the purpose is to survive, the planned routes are different depending on the idea.

Some microorganisms will evolve their ability to attack, perhaps by acid that can easily break through cell membranes, or by protein spikes, or simply by enlarging their own body and directly enveloping them inside themselves to decompose.

Some microbes are evolving their ability to reproduce in order to win in numbers - I can't beat you and I can't give birth to you?

This type of microorganism will basically drastically reduce the length of its gene strand, the shorter the length, the shorter the gene replication time, and the number will naturally grow faster.

However, in Huogu's view, this method is also the opinion of the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

The microorganism with the shortest gene chain on the planet is a virus, so what type of microorganism is a virus? Heterotrophic type.

This just shows that there is no point in the numerical advantage of the autotrophic type.

There are also microorganisms that will try their best to expand a new living space and evolve their abilities in this direction.

As a result, the first indigenous creatures to land on the surface appeared after the Ice Age.

They live on shores close to the water, where they break down the hard rocks and gravel and process them, giving birth to fertile soil.

Among them, what Hogu cares about the most is a certain autotrophic microorganism that dominates a water area on this planet where heterotrophic microorganisms are rampant.

This creature, Hogu has also seen on Earth - cyanobacteria.

Once the lowest microbes on Earth, at this moment, they are among the most powerful autotrophic microbes on the planet.
