Chapter 27: Monomers (7)

Not to be scared, not to be in danger, the manipulators of the two landing systems worked together to save the surviving single life that collided with Korors back into the crashed spaceship. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For the convenience of observation, Endals prepared a cage for the monomer according to the concept he understood. Guys who eat a considerable amount of food are not reluctant to come to the flight, especially the set meal with multiple acidic carbohydrates, which is called a whirlwind when eaten. Every time the assistant feeds this guy, he will be splashed with juice by the crazy eating action of the monomer, and he looks at the monomer in disgust, and he comes to the conclusion that this guy is an out-and-out materialist, if he has to say that he wants it, he is only excited to eat meat. The captain believed that the monolith, which was very likely to survive in Wantel, had been fed on other monoliths, especially those weaker than him. He chose a suitable angle and began to look at his mouth. It was not surprising to find that the guy was probably in the gum in his mouth, although there were no obvious teeth, but the sharp fibrous tissue protrusions were densely packed. The captain used a stirring rod to support the mouth of the monomer, and felt the protrusions, which were very hard. He motioned to his assistant to select a small amount of tissue for dissection.

The results of the analysis were surprising, as it appeared to be fibrous tissue, but it contained a considerable amount of calcium, which meant that the fibrous tissue had undergone deformation. The assistant pushed the instrument to the captain, saying that it was not musculature, but teeth that had not yet evolved into place, and that in time, real teeth would appear. The captain knew that not to underestimate these teeth, if the size of this monolith was added, it could become the overlord of Vantel in the future. Because for them, the size and teeth are the most suitable tools. Crown took another look at the monolith trapped in the cage and said yes, it was it. The assistant didn't understand what he meant, and asked rhetorically, and the captain explained, taking the surviving monolith as the object of external interference again. He believes that since the entire planet has cooled and a large number of survivors of various individual deaths must have more tenacious vitality and can resist more environmental impacts. They are also bound to be evolutionary leaders. If external interference is carried out on such a monomer, it is like giving a good seed better external conditions, and the result is naturally more optimistic. The assistant quickly understood the idea, and with his discovery, the two devised a plan to intervene again.

The evolution of the monomer in front of us is not complete, but the degree of development has reached maturity, and it already has the ability to reproduce the next generation. In Endals' words, this monolith will be both a father and a mother in the future, enough for it to keep it busy. The captain said that if it knew how to take care of its offspring, it would need to evolve to a considerable extent. In fact, the offspring of these monomers, like their ancestors, are not selectively subject to natural elimination, where will there be parents to take care of them. In order to give enough energy to this mature monomer that is reproducing offspring cells, the combination of the flight meal is designed with the help of a central computer. After all, neither of them had similar experience, not to mention, this guy and Nabra's women were not at all the same. Endals said it was like wandering around the universe without navigation, but what better way to do it, even the results of the central computer analysis gave such an attempt a high rating. The number of small cells in the monomer increases day by day, and they also mature day by day. When the time finally came to really start outside intervention, Crown felt like farmers in the field waiting for the crops to ripen. With his trembling hands, the assistant removed the cells in the monolith, which were like crystal clear beads, and they were the objects of interference. Under the watchful eye of the captain, Endals separated the entangled cells, and then injected the blood tissue structures that had been collected and isolated into the cells in groups of hundred. Something wonderful happened, and the color of the beads that had been crystal clear turned pale green. Because of the small size of the beads, it took a lot of time to interfere with them, and it took Ndals a lot of time to process the cells. After the basic process of interference is over, he collects the cells that have been interfered with and puts them into the body of the mature monomer again. In this way, the body of the mature monomer becomes a processing plant, responsible for turning the interfered monomer cells into molded monomers. This means that the process of evolution has not only accelerated, but has also undergone substantial changes. It is highly probable that the next monomers will approach Flowers in some traits and surpass the individual monomers that have emerged after the previous accident.

The mature monomers rescued in the artificial environment have good living conditions, and the development of larval cells in the body is also very fast. Endals observed the cells on a daily basis, comparing the results of the observations with the relevant data collected, confirming the plausibility of their intervention plan, and the division of these cells was close to the developmental stage characteristics of Nabra's organisms. However, this is not the final result, the key is whether the trait can be stable in the second half of the split. Life with a purpose is interesting, like an invention is about to come out, and Crown wonders what the monolith will look like after this intervention that the idea is completely different from the previous one. He watched his assistant busy every day, some worried and some expectant, waiting for the appearance of the monomer. When it was time for the birth of mature larval cells, the assistant and the captain took care of them themselves, watching as the holes in the tail of the single body in the cage opened, squeezing out a series of pale green beads, yes, the larval cells that had developed after their intervention. To be precise, these cell bodies are actually a combination of cells. It appears to be bead-like but a thin wall, which is not a necessary part of life.

They only paid attention to the sequence of larval cells born from the mature monomer, and neither of them paid attention to the abnormal changes in the life index of the mature monomer. When the birth process of the larval cells came to an end, the speed gradually slowed down, and finally a few cells were sandwiched in the pores, and the whole birth process stopped, and after a short but violent shaking, the body of the mature monomer was rearranged on the platform in the cage, and the various indices on the central computer were like soldiers who heard the password, and at the same time fell back to the original position. The captain and assistant looked at each other, and the vital signs of the mature cell disappeared, becoming another cell that died in the spaceship's laboratory. The two of them were a little depressed, and in silence collected the larval cells in a box with a designed temperature, simulating the further development environment of nature. If it is just a natural selection, the death of a mature single body is normal, but it contains the factor of external interference, which makes the two of them feel a sense of guilt. Focusing on the development of larval cells is expected to alleviate the guilt in the heart. The two of them chose to do so, giving special attention to the temperature and humidity conditions, and the development of the larvae was very optimistic.

After a while, Ndals, who spent most of his time in the laboratory, was responsible for observing and controlling the developmental conditions, and told the captain through the communication system that he could see the shape of the young cells naked. This is the result of a phased development, and the captain came to the laboratory. Indeed, the thin walls, which were already very thin, have become an almost transparent layer, as if they could be torn apart by the development of the larvae at any time. One couldn't resist touching it with his hands, but Endals stopped the captain's impulse in time. The juveniles in the thin walls are darker than those in the thin walls, so they can be seen more clearly even if they are naked. The larvae are very active in the thin walls, and the thin walls sometimes even change their shape locally with their movements, which shows how energetic the larvae are. Neither of them had observed the birth and development of the monomer in the whole process, so they could only guess when the larvae would emerge from the thin wall. Endals thought that according to the pattern of the shedding of the parenchyma surface cells, it could be seen that the shedding of the parenchyma cells had entered a period of acceleration with the further development of the larvae, and he pointed to a scaled interface on the light display for the captain to see. The captain looked at the numbers displayed in tabular form, and noticed that the cells of one of them were shedding at an accelerated rate, much faster than the others. He asked Endals which larvae it was surveillance, and Endals made a careful look at it, pointing to a nearby hatchling. At the same time as the assistant pointed to the larvae, the weak thin wall made a crisp cracking sound, and it fell off in an instant in an incomprehensible way, revealing the hatchling fluttering in the box in front of the two. Juveniles that look more or less similar to dead mature monomers will actually have an advantage over their predecessors in front of nature. Seeing the little one's energy, Endals expressed a hint of joy at the success with satisfaction.

The young cell fluttered for a while, and then shifted its target. It struggled to turn to the other pale green larvae, touched, impacted, and opened its mouth towards one of the still thin-walled monomers. This scene made Crown and his assistant who observed it shocked, this guy has been so aggressive since he was born! From the perspective of biological evolution, aggression is more often manifested between different species, and is related to the degree of evolution and the degree of development between generations. It was only a generation that was fundamentally interfered with, and it showed strong aggression, still aimed at the same kind. The assistant seemed to think of something, he picked out the most developed monomer, took a very small blood sample, and after a simple test, he raised his head and said that the blood of this monomer contains the same tissue structure as yours. The thin walls of the young cell that had been shaken and attacked also began to crumble, and the second cell appeared in front of the two of them. Amazingly, the little one, who hadn't fully opened his eyes, repeated what the first one had done. The same procedure, the same sample, but the test results are different, but the blood tissue structure on this body is highly similar to Endals. The result worries the two of them, which doesn't bode well. The same mature monomer is interfered with externally, but the juveniles that are born exhibit two different blood tissue bodies. How can two monomers that are also intensely aggressive fit into nature? The captain pondered for a moment and made such a point. The procedure of release was carried out on time according to the plan, and external intervention should adhere to the principle of partial and phased intervention, and natural selection could not be completely replaced by external dryness. The assistant agrees with this. In order to prevent the two types of cells from attacking each other, Endals suggested that the two types be released in different areas. The captain wondered that the only area suitable for a single to live was Esnia, but the assistant smiled and said that there was actually an area with similar conditions, but it was strange that there were no surviving cells in this area when the large-scale condensation of Vantel hit. It is indeed strange, since the conditions are similar, why is there only a surviving monomer there in Eisnia? At present, there are only two suitable release sites on the planet, and this can only be implemented. The location is basically determined, and all the two need to do is wait for the appropriate amount of monomer to come out of the thin wall.

As soon as the hatchlings in the box sped up, Endals was so busy that he couldn't rest. If the monomer is not placed separately in time, it is prone to mutual attacks and casualties. Even so, there are still a few individual monomers who have become unlucky eggs, and have become paving stones for the evolution of species before they have even stepped out of the box. The number slowly accumulated to the point where it could be released, and the captain was very reluctant, and he watched his assistant prepare to land on the system and release him. On the one hand, Korors hopes that these interfered monomers will become the dominant species on the planet, but the interfered monomer community itself has been divided into two groups. Hopefully, they will meet again in the distant future, and two reintroduction sites on the planet that are far enough apart should guarantee that. After the assistant completed the release and return of the repatriation point on the Philemic continent, the captain discussed with him very seriously, the two of them will not interfere more with the future of the two monomers, and the law of evolution is the main thing after all. The assistant looked at the captain's face, thoughtfully agreed, and then set off again to release him.

A planet belonging to two people was originally boring, but since there are these monomers that have been interfered with by the outside, it has become different. Keeping track of the two types of monomers that evolved on their own became the main thing that the two of them were busy on a planet where they didn't know how much time they had been in. The new planet rotates much faster than many of the planets in the mature and stable Nabra system, and if Nabra's long-established timekeeping rules are counted as one day from the next to the next, Flowers and his assistants have been on the planet for more time than they can be artificially calculated. Such a quick black-and-white conversion made the two very annoyed at the beginning, and before they knew it, the two gradually adapted to this black-and-white conversion. The assistant sometimes takes the data to comfort himself and his superiors, the planet is still very young, and it is normal to rotate faster. In fact, the rotation speed of the planet has been slowly decreasing for such a long time.

Observations indicate that the natural conditions of the two areas originally selected as reintroduction sites have improved to varying degrees. In fact, after a massive condensation of Vantelle, the entire planet began a relatively warm cycle, and according to Endals's monitoring, the planet gradually returned to its normal orbit and began to move away from the far side. In a word, the situation on the whole planet is starting to improve. This is good news for Crown Lords, who are looking forward to a better evolutionary environment for the monomers. In nature, the monomer that did not generate itself but died by itself and evolved with difficulty is changing itself step by step.
