Chapter 7 Design

Kill! Kill them all! Kill them until they become extinct! We can only be safe if we let them die!

Such violent thoughts occupy Hogu's mind, and its thinking is transmitted to all single cells, and the cells are like soldiers receiving orders, from the very beginning Hogu operates them to resist with enzymes, and gradually evolves into their spontaneous resistance, as long as the phage parasitizes, it immediately commits suicide to seal the cell membrane, and dies with the phage.

The mutation of the single cells reversed the stalemate between the two sides in an instant, and the single cell cluster on Huogu's side began to gain the upper hand, pushing back against the corpses of their companions.

When the last phage dies in a single-celled suicide attack after parasitism, the battle for their lives ends.

The corpses were all over the place, and even though there was endless darkness all around, Hogu could roughly construct that scene, and the single-cell cluster had shrunk to one-twentieth of its original size at this time.

Huo Gu, who had regained his composure, only felt afraid for a while, if he still had a human body, it was estimated that he had been submerged in ice water.

The battle just now, as long as there are twice as many bacteriophages, it will be over......

"No, the cause of the death of the double-walled cells must be found out immediately!"

Hogu's attention quickly turned to the dying double-walled cell.

"First of all, we will eliminate the impossible factors one by one......"

"It can't be 'antibiotics', although fungi and bacteria can be made, but only viruses like bacteriophages can't do it, their structure is too simple, and if it comes from the single cell itself, then the bitulaciars should have a certain degree of resistance to ......."

"What could be the reason for that?"

Hogu finds himself back to the beginning of the question – how did the bicubital cells die?

"First of all, when the wall is single, it is good ......"

"Wait, single wall? That's right, it's a single wall! ”

Huo Gu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly focused his attention on the slightly intertwined tunnels.

Because of this staggering, the tunnel forms a material exchange tunnel that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle.

Originally, this is used to allow single cells to interact with the outside world to form matter, energy, and information, which is absolutely indispensable for all life to maintain its own activities.

Now the tunnel is blocked, and it's the small molecules and the large molecules that are blocking the tunnel.

It's like blocking the mouth and nose of a person, and the death of the double-walled cells is logical.

"So, it's a design flaw from the start, but what do I do? Even if the DNA is corrected, there is no way to solve the blockage problem, and if you give up narrowing the tunnel, you will not be able to defend against those phages that deserve a thousand cuts. ”

The idea gradually reached a dead end, and after a while, Hogu's ideas had become a mess, and he couldn't think of any good solution.

"Maybe I should ...... the other way"

Since this path doesn't work, it is better to simply take a different path, Huo Gu's mind flashed back to the scene of the previous battle with the phage cluster.

"I am not me, but we ......"

"Individual abilities are always limited, maybe I should work in this direction......"

A prototype gradually appeared in Hogu's thoughts—a multicellular organism!

"In the case of the skin, the outermost layer of cells is feasible, and it is possible to make the kind of cells that are completely closed, and in the case of life support, it is handed over to the inner cells protected by this layer of the 'epidermis'."

The bamboo-like creature appeared in front of Huogu.

"The inner cell is only responsible for delivering provisions, and the work of defense and attack is left to other types of cells."

"It's better to have an internal space inside to facilitate targeted strikes."

The long strip of bio-clearness in the mind takes on the appearance of Hogu's vision, the inner wall of the cavity has the same surface cells as the outer skin, and when those microorganisms enter the cavity, the epidermal cells in these cavities will release a large number of enzymes to break down the microorganisms in the cavity into amino acids.

In this way, the cavity is a completely harmless nutrient solution, although there are a large number of enzymes, but as long as the cell wall of the epidermal cells in the cavity is maintained and the two sides are balanced, then the "digestive juice" in the cavity is harmless.

"There are two openings involved, so that when the whole cluster of single cells moves, the flowing water carries those microorganisms into the cavity itself."

At this moment, Hogu's thoughts suddenly came to a halt, and he realized that something was wrong.

How do you absorb the amino acids that are broken down by enzymes?

This is a very serious problem, if you can't ingest the amino acids in the cavity, then these designs are just a waste of time.

Isn't there any way? Hogu pondered again, recalling memories of his human days, searching for the designs of the creatures recorded in the books.

"What about people?"

"How do people achieve nutrient intake after eating?"

Hogu asked himself.

"Gastric mucosa, gastric mucosa is alkaline and can neutralize with gastric acid, so gastric acid does not pose any threat to the stomach unless the gastric mucosa is destroyed......"

"I can try to formulate inhibitors that act as 'digestive juice' enzymes, so I don't have to worry about the enzymes breaking down the inner walls of the cavity."

"Therefore, the cell wall of the epidermal cells in the inner wall of the cavity does not have to ......"

Huo Gu's thoughts suddenly stopped, and then dispelled this thought.

"No, it still has to be, what if those microorganisms complete the infection and parasitism of the cells in the cavity before digestion?"

This was a problem that had to be noted, and Hogu decided to keep the original cell wall design of the cells in the cavity.

Next is the 'open mouth' and 'closed' design.

This is not too difficult, and there is a ready-made protein structure that acts as a 'rope' and can mimic the 'tendon' of multicellular organisms.

Although there are no muscle fibers to provide assistance, it doesn't matter, it can be used to provide the driving force through cell division.

The only downside is that it is impossible to open and close its mouth as quickly as those multicellular organisms with muscle fibers.

However, Hogu is not worried about this shortcoming, because the opponent it has to face is a microbe, and the speed of opening and closing its mouth does not make much sense.

It can be said that as long as it is not fighting with multicellular organisms, then Huogu's design is invincible, even in the face of the previous group of bacteriophages, it dares to guarantee that it can be crushed.

Instead of being as fragmented and loose as a plate of sand, the single-cell cluster is like a clenched fist capable of destroying any microorganism that dares to punch it.

In terms of volume, the microbes lost from the start.
