Chapter 538: Research Progress
In the spacious spaceship's room, a series of biological cultivation devices are quietly running. On each silver-white multi-purpose work platform is a large transparent jar, in which a small amount of red and blood-like viscous liquid slowly surges at the bottom, as if there is life, constantly trying to climb the outer wall of the jar, and above those liquids, there are many biological tissues similar to blood vessels and tendons supporting some strange shapes...... Organ.
That is the result of the work of the culture device in the past few days, the strange life created from the primitive cells from the "holy coffin".
The number jù terminal connected itself to the analysis host in the real yàn room, and reported the progress here: "At this point in the culture, it is impossible to continue, and these biological tissues will stop developing and will no longer undergo functional differentiation. Their genetic factors have a strange structure, storing information far beyond their current forms, but a factor prevents these genetic information from coming out, possibly related to the supernatural powers of the goddess. In addition, there are some slight differences in the organs produced by each culture tank, which may be related to the location of the original cell collection, and the machine remembers that the cells were originally collected from the seven locations of the ancestor of life. ”
"Are these the organs of the first seed?" Lily curiously picked up the nearest workbench to her, and looked at the strange "meat" pieces in the culture tank, they looked a little like animal flesh and blood, but the color and texture had a bit of plant fiber feeling, and the surface was flexible and organized, "It looks a little ......"
"It's disgusting, isn't it," Nangong May stuck out her tongue, "It feels like a horror movie." ”
Lily licked her lips: "No, it looks a little appetizing." This is meat! ”
Everyone: "......"
"Drag this to the back to prevent her from coming into contact with the sample." Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat and asked Vivian to take strict care of the second-class husky, "If you want to eat barbecue, you want to go crazy!" ”
Lily was dragged behind by Vivian and kept jumping: "This is meat!" This looks like it's really meaty! Bake a piece and taste it......"
"Let's get down to business." Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and looked at the terminal, "Do you think the cultivation result is correct?" Is this really part of the original seed? ”
"I'm not sure," counts admitting honestly that the experiment wasn't all that perfect, "and that the primitive cell had a lot of incomprehensible self-selection and mutation during its development, and it ended up being like this." The machine is not sure that these things are the original seed - it seems impossible to use the cells of the original seed to reverse its original form, and without the supernatural power of the goddess, these things are only defective products. ”
Hao Ren frowned: "Then at least there should be some other results, right?" At least a little bit of knowledge about the first seed or something. ”
The number jù terminal shook up and down: "This part of the results is still there." The cells used for cultivation are derived from a necrotic ganglion of the original seed, so these mutated tissues that are now cultured are also involved in neural activity. If they hadn't mutated like this...... They are supposed to be part of the brain tissue of the original seed, or they are the brain of the seed. These organs have a complex nerve conduction base and antenna-like transceiver structures that don't know what went wrong and don't work. The unit activates a sample, and its antenna receives only one piece of clutter. ”
"The brain part?" Hao Ren looked at the samples in the jar with interest, "Then do they have the ability to think?" If a reasonable stimulus is applied. ”
"There is a complex reflex mechanism, but there is no sign of wisdom," replied the number of terminals, and then suddenly brought up a strange phenomenon. "There's another discovery, look at Tank One."
As the number of voices fell, a small crack suddenly opened at the top of the cultivation tank on the No. 1 workbench, and a green plant was thrown into it. The biological tissue and red liquid in the jar were immediately sensible. They twisted and swelled, and the greenery was quickly engulfed in red liquid, but a moment later. The red liquid retreated harmlessly to the side, and the plant was intact. It even looks a little more energetic than when it was first thrown in.
"This is a living sample," the number said. "Now you're looking at the death samples."
The greenery in the jar was removed, and a clump of withered grass and trees was thrown in.
The red liquid enveloped the "foreign substance" again, and in just a second or two, the latter was digested cleanly.
"Is this ......" Itzax looked at what was happening in the jar in amazement, "eating?" ”
Elizabeth wanted to come over with a small change cone, but as soon as she took two steps, her father slipped back, and the little girl was still tossing: "I won't dismantle it!" I don't dismantle! I'm not a bear child, I know I can't move around - I just want to see it......"
But no one paid attention to the little girl's defense: she probably really knew that she couldn't move, but the child's ability to act ...... Who can guarantee that.
"It avoids the creatures that are still alive, doesn't it?" Hao Ren saw the name, "It's scavenging." ”
"Scavenging, and considering that it is the ganglion of the first seed, and it is also the 'control zhìtai' of the early primitive, the machine speculates that the first seed and even the eldest born later hatched survive according to the judgment mechanism of this ganglion, that is, 'scavenging'," said the number of jù terminals as his guess, "from which it can be judged that just now" The first seeds of the landing' and part of the laws of action of the primordial primitives: they create life, evolve the biosphere, and take on the last link of the food chain themselves, recovering the nutrients in the tissues and soil of the necrotic organisms to feed the entire cycle. They are responsible for providing the initial creation and eventual recovery of the ecosystem, while the intermediate evolutionary process is left to the second son, thus completing a 'job'. ”
The number jù finally added: "In addition, it can be fed silicon minerals, water, sulfides and carbon, which proves that the eldest son can adapt to a variety of nutritional environments, and it can also create its own organic matter without organic matter at all." ”
"Scavenging, sounds like a mild character." Vivien said thoughtfully.
"It's a mild recipe, but it probably has little to do with 'character,'" explained the number of terminals, "The analyst speculates that this scavenging habit is only to ensure that there are no problems with the work, and to prevent the blood tide from mistakenly devouring the life that he created." Because if you want to set up a complex filtering mechanism to screen which organisms can eat and how much you should eat at each meal, it will consume too many nerve cells, so the creator of the seed simply sets the rules to make it a scavenger, only eating the dead, completely avoiding living life, which protects the ecosystem. Ganglion inhibition of primogenital activity presumably initiates a similar mechanism. ”
"But the eldest son's 'scavenging nature' is obviously out of control, it eats everything," Hao Ren raised his eyelids, "or to put it more directly, it is deliberately out of control, it wants to destroy the ecosystem." ”
"The eldest son's initial offensive ability should have come from its 'eating' mechanism, but in the later period, in order to destroy the second son, it began to develop various weapons, such as seed shells that can carry out space operations, which is obviously completely out of control," the number of jù terminals sighed a little, "You see how perfect its initial security mechanism was, but unfortunately the system collapsed later, which shows that the centralized network is not as reliable as the distributed network, and the terminals under the server are all finished as soon as the server fails." ”
A PDA sighs with a different focus.
"Although there is no way to analyze the cause of the eldest son's loss of control and the whereabouts of the goddess from these organs, we still have some results," the number of jù terminals sighed and continued to talk about business, directing an autonomous machine to deliver two small boxes to Hao Ren, "This was just made. ”
The boxes opened, and inside one of them was a silver-white ball with neat blue patterns on the surface of the ball, as if breathing between light and dark, and in the other box were several transparent containers containing pale red liquid.
"What is this egg for?" Lily came up from behind again, "Huh...... When I see the egg now, why do I think of Doudou? ”
"This is a suppression signal transmitter," the voice of the number of terminals was a little helpless, "It can perfectly simulate the signal of the life ancestor, allowing the eldest son to continue to sleep." We can put this on Holletta's eldest son, and then we just put a nuclear bomb on it and it doesn't react. ”
"What's left of this?"
"Interfering pheromones, made from those cell samples and source blood," the number terminal obviously pays more attention to these substances, "Inhibiting signal transmitters is a very problematic thing, once the signal is interrupted, the firstborn will wake up immediately, but interfering pheromones can be used as a second layer of insurance: it can awaken the 'scavenging mechanism' of the firstborn for a short time, so that it cannot devour living life."
