Chapter 304: Spore Reproduction
"No comment, that's not something you should know," the Truth Master replied coldly, as always.
Without giving Ye Fan a chance to continue to ask, she said to Ye Fan and the magnetic god again: "Okay, you can cultivate here for a while for a while, the Xuan protein we got will still need a while to digest, so that the strength can be improved a lot, but the danger of looking for that thing will be much smaller, you can rest assured, you will not suffer if this time is mine."
Ye Fan and Magnetism naturally do not object to this, they can exercise their strength with a fee, what is the reason to refuse to have such a good thing. It's just that in this way, it seems that the mission of the Truth Sect Master may not be ordinary hardship and danger, otherwise how could she be so generous and pay such a big price
Next, the truth instructed several sect members to arrange for Ye Fan and the Magnetic God to stay here for the time being
Ye Fan deliberately obtained information from these sect members, but as a result, all of them were like their sect leaders, and they all reacted coldly
But all of these people, like the Truth Master, have been stripped of their emotional functions
But this doesn't seem to be a big deal, Shinrikyo is a cult in the first place, and this kind of thing is too normal
Ye Fan and Magnetism stayed in the underground base of the Truth Cult for more than 10 days, and they naturally did not waste time, constantly absorbing and using Xuan Protein, and constantly exercising. Let yourself get closer to the "body of Xuanyuan" step by step
It's just that I haven't seen the Truth Sect Master, and I don't know if she's hiding somewhere to exercise alone
The evolution of the magnetoshen is very smooth, he can obviously feel that his physical condition is getting better and better, and he can feel that his spirit and body are getting more and more compatible, and this is the most important characteristic of Xuanyuan's body
Although he still hasn't reached the legendary perfect state, he clearly feels that he is approaching it step by step, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he transforms into the body of Xuanyuan
And Ye Fan's situation is a little weird, although he also took a large amount of Xuan Protein, but he feels that the effect is completely different
Although my calculations and physical fitness continue to grow, I always feel that something is wrong
There doesn't seem to be a qualitative change in this point after communicating with Magneto. He was even more sure
The body of the legendary Xuanyuan. It is a super life form composed entirely of Xuan protein, with genetic effects, and its spirit and body are perfectly matched, so even with the same physical fitness and computing power, their combat power will far exceed that of secondary life forms or evolutionaries
The evolution of Magneto. It is in this direction that it is headed. But Ye Fan. But there seems to be no such sign at all
Is this really weird? Could it be because of your own simulated seeds?!
In other words, his body was very different from the body of ordinary evolutionaries, and others were able to graft genetic seeds. Only he couldn't figure out the specific reason, but Ye Fan himself guessed that most of it was the simulated seeds in his body that were making trouble!
Now that this is happening again, it seems that the same reason may be again
Such a result naturally made Ye Fan feel very depressed. I finally got the transcription vaccine and the metaprotein, should it be wasted like this? That's desperate, isn't it?
In the past, when he first got the gene seed, when the grafting failed, it was almost the same emotion, but at that time, it was definitely far less intense than it is now, and at that time, he was a double ability, even if he couldn't graft any gene seeds, it was actually nothing
At that time, he thought that two ability seeds were basically enough, and no matter how many they were, they would not be much worse, and he could only choose one as his natal seed in the future, and because he hadn't seen any powerful abilities at the time, he felt that his gravity ability was actually not bad, and his natal ability was basically enough
However, the psychology is completely different now, he finally came to this point, and he saw that he was about to reach the level of super life, but suddenly found that he was blocked from the door
Alas, could it be said that it is because of the special nature of the divine energy seed that the transcription vaccine cannot finally take effect?
But why is that?
Ye Fan didn't know the answer, and Magnetism didn't know either
Ye Fan found an opportunity to ask the Truth Sect Master, and she also said that she didn't know, so she didn't know if it was true or false
Even though Ye Fan offered to exchange the payment for information that the Truth Sect Master might know, she still said that she didn't know
It seems that either she really doesn't know, or there is a huge stake involved, so she pretends not to know
After the Truth Sect Master left, Magnetism hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said to Ye Fan, "I think the Truth Sect Master may really be a member of the Spirit Race. ”
Ye Fanlian asked in surprise: "Why did you suddenly say that?" He wondered, if Magneto really knew something, then why didn't he say it before, but now he suddenly said it, or did he just find some major clue?
But it's not like it at all, just now the Truth Sect Master just said "I don't know" a few times, what clues can there be?
Magnetism didn't answer directly, but asked Ye Fandao: "Have you noticed that every time the Truth Sect Master walks, he always steps on his left foot first?" And walking is completely different from the average person. Does the heel always land first? ”
"No, I'm fine, what are you paying attention to? But don't say it, I really feel a little pinched when I see her walking, but even if it is, it's not strange, everyone has their own habits," Ye Fan said confusedly, "What does this have to do with the Spirit Clan?" Could it be that the people who walk with their left foot first are all spirits? ”
"It's not true that it's just a habit, but if you pay attention to the cultists, you'll see that they all have the same habits as their masters," said Magneto.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Ye Fan, have you ever heard of spore reproduction?" Magnetism still didn't answer directly, but asked another question that seemed unrelated.
"Of course I've heard that spores are the product of mitosis or meiosis. Germ cells that can develop directly or indirectly into new individuals after being separated from their parents. It's a form of asexual reproduction, why do you suddenly ask about this? Ye Fanqi asked.
"Because I think these cultists are not clones of what you said, but are multiplied by spores," the Magnet God said in a low voice
"How is it possible that spore reproduction is a very low-level mode of reproduction, generally bacteria, protozoa, fungi and ferns. How is it possible for humans to reproduce in this way," Ye Fan was stunned for a moment.
"You're wrong. In fact, this is how the beasts are bred in this way," the Magnet God shook his head.
"Alien beasts reproduce by spores?! Where did you know? Ye Fan asked in surprise. It was the first time he had heard of it.
"I used to talk to Mahatma-sama, and he inadvertently told me about his fame. It shouldn't be nonsense. "And you have killed a lot of strange beasts, it should be clear that they have no sexual organs at all, there is no distinction between male and female, so it is impossible to reproduce sexually like most animals on the earth, which can be confirmed from this point, Mahatma should indeed not be lying"
"That's really the case, I was originally very curious, and I thought that the Protoss had done something to do this," Ye Fan said in horror. In retrospect, there were no traces of castration on those alien beasts, nor any degraded organs suspected to be caused by hormones, and it seemed that it was not the gods who did it, but they really didn't have it at all
Soon, Ye Fan shook his head again and said, "But what does this have to do with the Spirit Clan?" ”
"Don't forget, the spirits and the alien beasts are creatures of the same planet, and they have bred together on the planet Thrall for billions of years, just like humans and other animals on Earth." Magnetic Shinto.
Ye Fan was stunned: "You mean that the reproduction methods of the spirit race are mostly the same as those of alien beasts?!" Reproduction is also carried out through spores?! ”
"Yes, it's very likely!" Magnetic Shinto.
"But what does this have to do with the Truth Cult Master and those cultists?! They are completely human, and they have" Ye Fan frowned and said, "Could it be that they are all the same as the Truth Sect Master, they have the 'Transfiguration Technique', so they are all transformed into Nie Qian's appearance?"
"No, I feel more likely that the spores that gave birth to them are fused with Nie Qian's appearance genes," Magnetism shook his head.
"Reproductive spores capable of fusing the genes of other organisms?!" Ye Fan was shocked, because he knew very well what it meant
This means endless evolution without limits!
"Well, spore reproduction is originally a low-level asexual reproduction, because there is no chance of genetic recombination, so the difficulty of evolution is much more difficult than sexual reproduction, but the degree of evolution of the spirit race is far higher than that of earth creatures, which means that it must have a unique place, and it is not really exactly the same as the spore reproduction on the earth, in that case, it is impossible to evolve secondary life earlier than life on earth," said Magnetoshen while thinking.
"But if you can really fuse genes without restrictions, it will be much more powerful than genetic recombination for sexual reproduction!" Ye Fandao.
"That's right. So I feel that this kind of fusion gene, Ken has limitations, otherwise the spirit race will definitely be able to evolve to a super life earlier than the god race, and it will not be wiped out by the tragedy of the race."
"But there is a problem, if the spirit race and the alien beasts really reproduce in this way, then after killing them, they should have this kind of spores in their bodies, even if not all of them have them, there will always be a few, just like killing tens of millions of mammals, we can always meet a few pregnant spirit races, we haven't killed them, but we have killed a lot of foreign beasts, but why don't we see the 'spores' at all?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
"Who says no?" Magneto laughed.
"You're saying that genetic seeds are actually 'spores'?!" Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said.
"Well, not exactly. True spores. It is supposed to be able to grow into new life forms independently, but the genetic seed does not seem to have this property, at least in the earth environment, it is a "magnetic Shinto" that does not have this property.
"I remember that the spores needed to absorb a lot of nutrients from the outside world, either to survive in an extremely rich environment -- such as the bacterial culture fluid in the laboratory -- or to have to be transplanted by human beings through parasitism. Actually, it was parasitized by spores?! Ye Fan was shocked again.
That's right. But it's not a big deal. Parasitism is a win-win situation, and I feel that in fact, genetic seeds are not really life spores, but only variants produced by them, you should know, the genetic factors of secondary life. It is inherited in two steps, so I guess they should be able to produce two kinds of spores, one containing the genetic factors of life, and the other is the 'genetic spores' containing the mysterious matter, which is also known as the gene seed," Magnetism speculated slowly and methodically.
"Where are the life spores? Why has it never been found in the corpse of the alien beast?" asked Ye Fan.
"I can't guess this, maybe it's really the gods who did something, maybe it's just because of the earth's environment, so they can't produce life spores, and can only produce 'mysterious genetic spores', that is, gene seeds" Magnetic Shinto.
Ye Fan quickly digested this information, and said randomly: "Then you mean that the Truth Sect Master created so many people who look exactly like Nie Qian through the life spores of the Spirit Clan?" ”
"Yes, otherwise, how could their strength have improved so much, it is entirely because they themselves are secondary lifeforms, so naturally they are much faster than the humans on earth," Magnet Shinto said.
"Speaking of which, the possibility is really not ordinary," Ye Fan nodded, "The so-called 'pseudo-spirit race' is probably also created through similar means, but the technology of the god race is more sophisticated, or the environment of the Thrall planet is better, so they created the pseudo-spirit race, and the strength is even stronger?!" ”
For a person of Ye Fan's level, it is naturally easy to draw inferences
"Yes, it's very likely, I just thought of that," said Magneto.
"Alas, if all this is true, it is really a pity that the spirit race has this magical way of evolution, if it can go on forever, its future may be brighter than sexual reproduction," Ye Fan sighed.
"Yes, it's a pity that they were exterminated by the Protoss before they arrived," the Magnetic God also sighed, "Whether it is sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction, the ultimate goal is to have a 100% metaphysical body, and the Protoss has done this, and the Spirit Race has failed to achieve this, so everything is in vain."
"It's a pity that tens of billions of years of evolution fell short in the end," Ye Fan agreed.
"The fate of life on the earth is estimated to be similar, and it will not end at all, and it will be terminated," Magnetism also said with a rare pessimism.
In the face of powerful and invincible opponents, they have no room to resist at all, and even the most ambitious human beings are inevitably a little desperate
There are some things that cannot be stopped by human power at all, and it is completely like a mantis arm as a car
The degree of evolution of the spirit race is much higher than that of life on earth, but the result is still the final result of life on earth, which is really not optimistic
The only difference is that human beings can be said to have absorbed the evolutionary achievements of the Spirit Race, made a leap forward in their evolutionary process, and deceived 10 transcription vaccines from the God Race, which can be said to be one step to the sky, and will soon be able to directly achieve super life!
However, the number is too small, and even if all of them are successful, the total number will only be 10, and I don't know if it can be inherited
After all, it is very normal for such a behavior of pulling out seedlings to produce some drawbacks
Because humans, spirits, and gods have completely different genetic systems! (To be continued......)
