Chapter 184: Building and Searching
Standing on a volcanic plateau, looking at the 'spider flowers' rising and falling on the endless sea below, they are taking advantage of the temperature difference between the atmosphere and the boiling water ocean to continuously produce the nutrients that the gatherers need.
"Think, what's the problem with the previous thing? Why is there so much deviation from the estimated time? ”
"The exact reason is still being found."
"Why can't I find it? It should be a simple thing to do. ”
"I want to know about this too."
Si replied helplessly, thinking that the previous idea was the same as perpetuity, wanting to find out the problem that made the plan time deviate, and then solve it.
Since the embryo formation period is different from the estimated time, it should be that there is some problem in the gene, and Kesi checked the entire gene chain and did not find where the problem is.
Not only thinking, but every collector, as a checker, examined the genes and did not find out where the problem was.
You know, this new organism is designed by the collectors from the very basics, and they know very well what each gene represents, and it is a very strange thing in itself that they can't find the problem.
If there is a omission in the inspection of thinking, is there a omission in the inspection of all collectors?
So what is the reason why all the collectors did not notice the problem?
“…… In other words, this problem is not solved now, is it? ”
"Looks like so, yes."
"Then let's put it aside, and then we need to create a stable environment for ourselves, and an environment full of lava is not suitable for us to develop ourselves."
"When will this land preparation project start?"
"Now."
The selected gatherers climb to their mission location and begin to transform into cocoons and change their form just like the previous gatherers.
The sharp limbs are discarded and returned to the body as nutrients, and when the cocoon gradually hardens and falls off, a sapling-like creature reveals its form.
The message of the sapling surfaces in the Life Field channel.
"I need nourishment."
In a short time, around the 'sapling', a chain of several collectors formed a transmission chain to deliver the nutrients of the 'spider web' to the 'sapling' layer by layer.
The nutrients are placed near the creature, and the roots of the 'sapling' are drawn from the ground, wrapping the nutrients tightly, and then growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Upward, it is a bare pillar, which looks like the foundation laid by a construction site from a distance, and the downward root network, constantly bifurcating and growing, has a microfiber epidermis, even if the root system encounters underground magma, it will not be immediately incinerated and scorched, and it is directly ignored when encountering a steam hot spring.
On the surface, when these 'saplings' are just beginning to grow, the hard volcanic ground still spews out steam hot springs or magma from time to time, as if the earth is mercilessly mocking these 'little spots' that try to dominate it.
However, as time passed, the surging hot springs stopped, and the lava that emerged from the cracks in the ground condensed into carbon-inked, hot volcanic rock.
When the collectors destroyed the volcanic rocks with their limbs, the whole project was over.
"Strange ......"
"Why didn't there be a problem with the timing this time?"
Puzzled, he shifted his gaze back and forth between the 'spider flower' and the 'sapling'.
"What's missing in the end?"
All that is noticed is thinking, and the gatherer's plan is in order, and until the end of the plan, there is no time to think about superfluous things.
On the sustainable side, the foundation has been laid, and there is no need to worry about the danger of any high-pressure gas jets suddenly emerging in the vicinity.
Moreover, the elimination of danger is only incidental, and the stable environment provides a good guarantee for them to build other types of functional entities, after all, not every organism is as agile as the gatherer, and the functional entity built by pooling resources is scalded to death by the sudden gas jet from the ground, which is only a loss for the gatherer.
Hives have sprung up, familiar rhizomes have been erected, gatherers have been consumed, and one by one they have been re-bred for other tasks.
From a distance, if you put it on a mosaic, it can easily be mistaken for a city.
The honeycomb and the temperature-sensing cells are combined to obtain the electrical energy needed for production, albeit in small amounts, but it is sufficient, and the chemical resource reserves for the sustainability of the honeycomb and chemical displacement are gradually increasing.
Of course, not all gatherers will be transformed into other functional entities, such as those who need high mobility for mining rocks, planning and mapping, exploring new areas, etc., because the assigned tasks are kept in the original posture optimally, so these gatherers will not change their form.
During this period, the erection of rhizomes also occurred inconsistent with the previous similar estimated time, and the same degree of deviation was also very large, fortunately, it had nothing to do with nutrients, and at worst, it was a serious delay in the progress of the project.
The agent who was responsible for designing the genes also checked the genes of the rhizome, but found nothing, and did not find out the root cause of the problem.
"Si, Yongsu sent a message again, asking us what is the reason for the time estimation error, if we can't find the reason, it will affect the follow-up task, let us solve it quickly."
"Got it."
Si continued to check genes one by one in the Life Field channel, and the number of checks has increased a lot more than before, because the types of problems have increased.
After repeating it over and over again, I still can't figure out what the problem is.
"Why is this happening?"
"Obviously, there are no errors or conflicts in the expression of each segment of genes, and there is no problem with these genes."
The collectors who make up the agents only feel that there are dark clouds in front of them, and they can't find the way forward at all, and the breadth of their thinking is not inferior to that of sustainable thinking, and they are also in a predicament at the moment.
At this point, a collector came up with an idea.
"Perhaps...... It's not that there's a genetic problem, it's ...... Something else that we overlooked. ”
As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately questioned by other members of the same clan.
"According to your thoughts, what is it that can affect the growth rate of an individual?"
"If there's really something wrong, why can't we see it on the genetic map?"
……
"Stop, it's right, we're really missing something."
The question was interrupted by thought, which swept away the previous decadence, and impatiently built a connection with the perpetual life field channel.
"Perpetual, I've found the reason."
