Chapter 34: The Birth of a Living Planet

Xu Zhifeng made a second attempt here.

This time he was more cautious.

He first let the flocculent threads probe little by little into the fold structure, and then slowly penetrate deeper and deeper through the stratum corneum.

He was extra cautious as his filaments penetrated deep into the inner layers of the cell and began recording information early.

Finally succeeded in getting the architecture information.

He immediately tried to combine the experience of the two explorations to make a flesh-and-blood replica.

After all the hard work, he almost vomited three liters of blood as he looked at the fingertip-sized gadget.

I see!

What parts of the body I copied from the macroscopic structure will be what parts will be when I get them!

I really didn't see that Chen Xi, a man with an open mouth and a closed mouth, actually had a pink ......

You can't say it, you can't say it.

He drew his mind closer again, making sure that the exploding flesh was indeed exuding an abundance of vitality.

He then removed it from his body and tried to see how long the cells survived.

Unexpectedly, the moment this piece of meat went out, it disintegrated and weathered on the spot, and there was not even a process of dying and struggling.

The moment he left his body, he completely turned into ashes.

Perhaps it did not survive even a billionth of a second, and it was definitely an unnatural death.

The attempt to replicate humanity has failed completely, and even the simplest red blood cells cannot survive, let alone anything else.

However, Xu Zhifeng was not discouraged.

He had been mentally prepared for this.

The alarm clock rang, and he got out of bed and flashed.

He was dressed and had just walked out of the bedroom, when he bumped into Chen Xi, who had a black circle under the eyes of a panda, sneakily trying to sneak back to the bedroom.

Xu Zhifeng greeted enthusiastically, "Morning!

Chen Xi was taken aback, and turned around pretending to be casual, "Xiao Fengfeng, so early?"

She tried her best to pretend to be calm, but her right hand was still subconsciously covered on her chest, and there was a red dot the size of a sesame seed on the back of her hand that was very conspicuous.

Xu Zhifeng asked with great concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Xi's head shook like a rattle, "How can there be! I'm fine." Leave me alone, you're busy. ”

After saying that, she slammed the door shut.

Xu Zhifeng covered his mouth so as not to laugh out loud.

Deserve!

He wasn't worried about Chen Xi's injury.

When you take the meat yourself, it is very light and heavy, no worse than drawing blood from your fingers.

A few days ago, she was covered in bandages and quickly recovered to her life, and for the noble Xuanshi, this little skin injury was nothing to worry about.

Today he has to go to the planting area to work.

This is a vocation, and in the absence of an official leave note, he cannot be allowed to excuse himself from going, nor can he spend money to find someone to do it for him.

He didn't really care, so he first went to the slums of the town, paid for a moldy cold steamed bun from the beggar, and then went straight to the planting area.

went to the No. 078132 field to check in and swiped his fingerprints, indicating that the person had arrived, and then he didn't care about anything, and forcibly lay down on the rocking chair to continue sleeping.

After tossing and turning for almost two hours, he finally fell asleep.

It's a pity.

His attempts to replicate the mold on the steamed buns still failed, and the disintegration rate was not much slower than that of human cells.

The only gain is that he has more experience of failure than last time.

There are two possible causes of this phenomenon.

Either the external environment of the spore world is too bad for the structure of ordinary life, or when you create your own life, there are irreversible defects due to your own ability.

He tried to throw out the raw mold that had been brought over.

Disintegrate just as fast.

That adds a third possibility.

The external environment of the spore world is indeed harsh, which is not conducive to the survival of the original life structure, but at the same time, the life created by itself is also defective.

In order for the life to be created to truly survive, two conditions must be met.

First, the essence of this life structure must be consistent with the spore itself, just as most life on Earth must have genes.

Different planes or universes have different rules, and in order for life to survive here, it must conform to the local rules, like spore clones.

Spore life can survive in the spore body because it is protected by the spores, but once it reaches the outside, it dies quickly after losing this protection.

Second, the physiological structure of spore life itself must have real vitality, not just a simple combination of a bunch of organic matter forcibly put together.

To put it bluntly, there can be no flaws, and there must be perfection.

It's a desperate paradox.

His current reference for making life is nothing but spores, and only in the ontological world can he encounter other life.

There are no bacteria near the spore clones.

Without a suitable reference, it would be impossible for him to create a life that fulfills both of these conditions.

He wasn't even sure if the problem was with external rules, his own flaws, or both.

If you want to change someone, you have probably given up this wonderful idea at this time.

But Xu Zhifeng never gave up easily.

He was still thinking, repeatedly comparing the difference between the finished product and the original product, trying to eliminate at least one wrong answer first.

He woke up at noon and had dinner, and in the afternoon he wanted to continue sleeping, but found that he couldn't.

He lay on the terrace table again to write and draw, reminiscing about the superficial biology knowledge he had learned in high school in his previous life.

By the time the planting area was about to end, he finally had a few ideas.

This is bad news, and there are two problems.

But at the same time, he found a way to break the game.

Integrate the genetic information of the spore clone into the reference you find in the real world!

The architectural information of the spore body may be too complex to be done.

But isn't there a developing little brother No. 2?

Number Two is still a newborn child, basically equal to human embryonic cells!

Although it is large, it does not complete internal division, and is a complete cell individual.

Then I'll try it myself, anyway, if I fail, it's just a waste of reserve resources.

He did what he thought of, and ran to the ditch in the field with a bottle to fill a bottle of water.

After returning home from the night shift in Bang Yuelou, he was impatient to get started.

This time, he chose the simplest algae life in the whole bottle of water, and used it as a template to continuously fuse and copy the genetic information of Little Brother No. 2.

After hundreds of attempts, he finally succeeded in the second half of the night!

A new structure of life appears within the Spore Splitter, floating in the void.

It is a prokaryotic organism without a cell membrane or cell wall, and its structure is very simple, basically equivalent to a micro-factory that operates automatically.

Its overall shape is seven or eight points similar to the cyanobacteria that Xu Zhifeng had learned when he was studying, but the volume is much smaller, a bit like a virus.

It can absorb carbon dioxide in the air, as well as free water vapor in the air, and then use sunlight as an energy source to synthesize glucose and release free oxygen.

Xu Zhifeng didn't rush to send it out, but made a backup next to him, and then carefully exported the first one out of his body.

He paid close attention to the movements of this little brother throughout the whole process.

The breeze blew, and the little brother drifted about a meter away before falling to the ground.

It's been more than ten seconds.

Not dead!

After a short adaptation period, the little brother actually took the initiative to absorb carbon dioxide and water vapor for photosynthesis!

The little brother is really powerful and has become a new life!

A single cell with no nucleus and membrane, light and autotroph, and containing structural similarities to chlorophyll, Xu Zhifeng decided to call cyanobacteria after the name of cyanobacteria.

And he also had an unexpected surprise, that is, he still maintains a close connection with the cyanobacteria in his mind, and there is almost no difference between him and the offspring in appearance, but the size is much smaller.

The most central part of the genetic information of cyanobacteria comes from the progeny, which is equivalent to a part of the spore clone.

This means that Xu Zhifeng does not have to worry about the backlash of cyanobacteria.

After waiting for a while, when the cyanobacteria multiplied to tens of thousands, he tried to actively control some of them to commit suicide.

It worked.

This part of the cyanobacteria disperses on their own and returns to the earth as nutrients.

The verification was successful, and he, the blue-fungus creator, did enjoy the power of life and death with one thought, and did not have to worry about being overthrown.

So, how do I take advantage of the army of cyanobacteria?

As he pondered the question, the answer came to him automatically.

The speed of cyanobacteria proliferation was completely faster than he imagined, and in just half an hour, more than 10,000 generations of division and proliferation had been completed.

Almost every second a generation is divided, and every less than ten seconds, a whole generation of cyanobacteria goes through the whole process of birth, aging, sickness and death.

Only the first generation of cyanobacteria who had already passed away successfully lived for dozens of seconds, and each subsequent generation, without Xu Zhifeng controlling them to commit suicide, all died quickly.

This means that the corpses left behind after their death will become new nutrients in the soil.

Xu Zhifeng has actually been worried about this for a long time, after all, the spread speed of his root network is too slow, and the root system is too shallow to penetrate the ground.

There's not much rain in this place.

It doesn't seem like a big deal right now, but sooner or later, it's going to be empty.

Well, with the incredibly multiplying cyanobacteria in hand, the nearby soil will become more and more fertile, and water will be enriched.

The spore clone will become a noble self-produced and self-sold perpetual motion machine!

Without doing anything, he continued to try more advanced eukaryotic fusions.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that his new conclusions came out.

Cyanobacteria are the only life that can be transformed by themselves.

Even if the template is a little more complicated, the difficulty of the whole thing will increase exponentially, and it will become completely unfeasible.

But he was satisfied with this, and the hard work of more than two days was not in vain, and a potentially big crisis was solved.

Also, assume that you are the only life on this planet in the spore clone universe.

Then, he personally created a cyanobacteria equivalent to the germination of the earth's life system, worthy of the identity of the great creator.

The speed of cyanobacteria reproduction and iteration is so fast that there is every chance to mutate, march to the next stage of life, and finally improve a complete life system.

Moreover, the core of the genetic information of Little Brother No. 2 is the foundation of the existence of the entire cyanobacteria system in the world, and no matter how it mutates, it cannot get out of the category of clones of clones.

Then Xu Zhifeng's spore clone never had to worry about being betrayed.

After two days of commotion to get such a result, what is he not satisfied with?
