When Xu Liang saw the eyes outside, he was really frightened.

Who hasn't done chemistry experiments? I know that I am holding a petri dish, doing experiments, doing cultures and the like, even if I haven't done experiments, I know what the laboratory looks like when I look at the advertisements for toothpaste, poisoned milk powder, etc. But that's all looking at the petri dish through a human lens.

Now I look at the outside world from the palm of a petri dish...... Although the things are the same, the perspective itself is very scary.

Not to mention an eye!

Xu Liang felt his consciousness tremble.

If this were a human eye, then the place he was in now, and his environment, would be difficult to understand, let alone the task he was doing now.

Although the 4/4 task is about to be completed soon, the change that has occurred now is still unexpected.

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses. He was tried and tested and quickly calmed down.

When encountering a special situation, the first thing to do is not to panic, but to observe carefully.

He looked closely at the eyeball, which was countless times larger than him.

That's right, from Xu Liang's point of view, that thing was countless times bigger than him now, almost the size of the entire sky.

This is relative to his current volume. What Xu Liang is sticking out of the water now is nothing more than an extremely thin and thin silk thread. 100 times thinner than a human hair! Spider silk is 10 times thinner. It's almost the lower limit of the spatial scale that living beings can manipulate. So it seemed to him now that the whole petri dish was as wide as the earth, and the suspension suspended on the liquid of the petri dish was like a huge island.

Based on his surroundings and his previous inference that he was a cell, he was able to roughly guess that he was in a petri dish. So when "looking up" and finding a huge black and white ring-shaped object, he also instantly reacted that it was an eyeball.

Moreover, he was quite calm at this time.

He discovered something new: this eyeball, which doesn't move.

Perfect, beautiful, flawless. But completely still. You can only tell that this is an eyeball by the highlight above, but you can't be sure that it is a living thing.

Not only that, but there are no eyelashes, no eyelids, no eyebrows...... Even more cheekless.

Xu Liang thought for a moment......

Maybe this thing above isn't an eyeball at all, but a detection device made in the shape of an eyeball?

If that's the case...... The more Xu Liang thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very possible. If the eyeball is really just a detection device, then its goal should be to detect its own activity, not some strange super creature that can easily crush him behind the eyeball, not something that is trying to kill him at any time.

If this inference is true, he can continue what he has to do next.

Complete the last mission!

[New Goal 4/4: Reproduction]

As soon as the last task is completed, something will definitely change. Maybe you can go back to the first floor of the villa, that is, the room in the shape of "Hui", and even solve the current problem!

Of course, what Xu Liang is looking forward to more is actually the new changes. Usually, as long as a task is provided, then there will be a reward. Although it is not explicitly mentioned now, it does not mean that there is none.

I hope that I will be able to get enough remuneration for the tasks that I have worked so hard to complete.

He resummed the current situation:

What he has now is much better than it was when he didn't do a single mission in the first place.

When he first entered this darkness, he only had his own consciousness, and he had no five senses! Even he had a faint illusion that if he hadn't awakened his super intuitive ability through the Key to the Civilization Arena, then when he completely lost the five senses, his consciousness would have disappeared all together.

This is the most terrible loss of life.

But now, he has a lot of things, and he is gradually getting stronger:

He gets a fair amount of energy from his surroundings! The source of energy is the reaction of three for three that he perceives when he completes the first task, and from that reaction process, he gains energy that can be used to act.

Secondly, his body has also been upgraded to a great extent compared to the beginning. First of all, there are some fragmentary macromolecules, and then these macromolecules, with the help of the energy above, gradually form clumps, and most of the clumps fail, turning into molecular soup and gradually decomposing. But a very small number of molecules succeeded in becoming "ordered masses" and formed his current body, an extremely primitive cell.

A membrane, a pulp, some nucleic acid molecules, some amino acid chains......

Tens of millions of times, hundreds of millions of combinations, all failed, only this one succeeded. And his consciousness happens to belong to this success.

Whether it was a coincidence within a coincidence or the principle of survivorship bias at work, he did not know. But from that point on, his cells continued to change on his next mission...... Some proteins spontaneously combine into clumps and become organelles that specialize in supplying energy, remember that there is such a name called mitochondria? Some protein molecules combine into clumps to form small factories that can "produce proteins", which seem to be called the Golgi apparatus? The most amazing changes come from those nucleic acid molecules......

They freely and randomly combined, then combined, and then combined, and failed, and failed, and failed......

Infinite time, infinite attempts, finally let those nucleic acid molecules form two chain-like structures, circling back and forth.

Xu Liang is familiar with this structure, which is the most common on the promotional trademarks of drugs peddled by MLM companies that sell counterfeit drugs - double helix.

To spontaneously compose such a structure, I don't know how many random independent experiments are needed. But isn't there a proverb that even a monkey can type out Shakespeare's sonnets on a keyboard, given enough experiments?

In the process of completing the first three tasks, this process is infinitely sped up and the number of times is infinitely increased. Countless experimental samples have finally formed the only finished product like Xu Liang, who has seven or eight kinds of organelles, nucleus, nucleic acid, flagella, and even a photosensitive original that is several centimeters long and can detect the external light situation - eyes!

That's what he's got after completing these three tasks.

The scale of these harvests is very small, 100 times smaller than that of dust mites, but for Xu Liang, every change is an essential change!

From the very beginning, he had no sight at all, hearing, touch, smell, taste, from pure nothingness to the present, obviously just a small achievement as grit, but he felt a miracle.

Called the Miracle of Life.

Find the only valid combination from an infinite number of random combinations, and use the surrounding energy effectively to grow and survive. It is even a "substance" that explores the surrounding environment, and even changes the surrounding environment. This is the origin of life.

Now, he has moved on to his fourth and final mission.

【Reproduction】

The goal of this mission is well understood.

It is to let this great material form, which has an infinitely low probability and is formed through random groups, continue to become eternal. How can we continue to make such a precious achievement, the result that can only be obtained by chance from hundreds of millions of experiments? Instead of being re-crushed into molecules by the more terrible external environment?

Suddenly, he seemed to understand the inner meaning of the five words Civilization Arena.

Xu Liang stood firm.

He has found a way to complete the last mission.
