Chapter 26: Monomers (6)
It's hard to say whether the external interference with the monomer so far is still a reasonable continuation of that unexpected result, perhaps it already contains an element of interest, looking at the individuals who have intervened by themselves, combining the uncontrollability of necessity and chance, the corners of Color's mouth smiled slightly, and he still had a sense of accomplishment, and he gave himself a positive evaluation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info One day in the future, we may be able to watch the animals on this planet like I used to go to the interstellar zoo in Nabra with my friends to see all kinds of animals, or roam in the pale blue or blue-green Vantle, or crawl on the land of various terrains, or maybe evolve to the appearance of Korors and Endals. Now it seems that the speed of evolution of these little creatures is very objective, but it is not necessarily an easy task to reach the level of most life in the Nabra system. If it were easy, probably many planets would have been highly civilized for a long time, and it would be Nabra's turn to dominate the depths of the universe.
Endals returned to the ship after completing a slightly difficult acquisition. The captain helped him transfer the collected monolith, which was clearly distinguishable from the recently dead monolithic in terms of visual results. The assistant looked at the captain and shook his head, meaning that the same individual was not found, and after the search range was expanded, the collected monomers were not much different from the previous one. In order not to waste a landing opportunity, Endals collected several different monomers and returned to the ship. And only so, the observation begins. Not surprisingly, none of these monomers were happily active in the added Wantel, and there was no movement of the previous monomer. The captain observed several monoliths for a long time, but found nothing, and he left the already tedious work to his assistants and equipment, and walked out of the makeshift laboratory. Any event has its inevitability, its contingency, and the apparent objective degree of evolution of the monolith, dying in the laboratory, is also inevitable and accidental. The subtle thing is that Crown and Endals interfered with the monolith. The captain felt that he and his assistant had not designed the real purpose of doing the work themselves, and that many times they were interfering in order to interfere. This is not in line with his usual principle of doing things, and he needs to clarify this problem with his assistant.
When Endals came to dine on the flight, the two discussed the issue. It took some time to put together fragmented thoughts on this issue in the past, but it was worth it. In fact, there was no written record of the outcome of the discussion, and Ndals only recorded it. The content of the idea is close to that of interstellar migration, except that they directly intervene in the external monolith to achieve the migration from the root. This is basically to inject the information of the life forms in the Nabra galaxy into the monomer at the initial stage of evolution, and as long as the information is not weakened between generations, it will be able to master this young planet once and for all. If the madmen in the galaxy's colony department saw this, they would probably jump for joy, and then flick their tails high and hit things to deliver the most enthusiastic destruction. But the captain and his assistant were silent after discussion, and the assistant opened his mouth after the silence, and he asked the captain if he wanted to build his own empire. It's such a crazy idea, to build your own empire between the stars, where can anyone do it? Besides, how did the assistant know this idea in his heart, the captain was stunned for a moment, and asked the assistant, what do you mean... The assistant said that we are building our own empire here, a replica of Nabra. In fact, think about it, the result of the discussion just now is actually not far from this empire. The captain was silent, and he remembered the family mission he had taken with him when he had fled. The second sentence he said, which was already another question, was how to make these primitive animals form his empire?
The captain made a demonstration on the ground, and Endals understood. The supremacy of the universe states that any physical entity, including life, has a beginning and an end. Then the captain and his assistants will also lose their lives and become stiff corpses one day in the future, and by that time, will this young planet evolve to the level that the two of them expected? If the answer is no, all the results of the two people's deliberations will be meaningless. The assistant mentions a new concept, the interferometry of the life information simulation equation, which Endals envisions not to interfere with the evolution of all monoliths and to respect the forces of nature as much as possible. All they need to do is deal with the dominant group in evolution, in other words, to interfere partially, and then always maintain the evolutionary superiority of each individual in that part. The monomer that retains the evolutionary advantage will act as an agent for Korols and Endals to exercise control over the entire planet. If one day the two of them are no longer alive, they will still be able to leave an empire. There is nothing mysterious about these ideas, but the specifics of how to do them need to be explored. The simulation method mentioned by the assistant was not to be implemented at the beginning, but only when the evolution of these monomers reached a certain level. But what are the individual elements that should start this great attempt? The captain pointed to the advanced cell lying stiffly in the dissecting dish, and his mouth was helpless.
Endals smiled and said that since we had discovered his superiority, combined with the evolutionary results simulated by the central computer, we could intervene in that direction. The exchange between the two made the captain know what his purpose was, and he left his assistant behind, he needed to go back and read the information about the evolution of life. To be honest, almost nothing is known in front of subordinates, it is really not a decent thing. In the end, I made up for my own lessons, and I was a hard-working student in the flight academy, did I overestimate my past self, or did I learn and forget, and I overestimated my current self? He nodded and shook his head, looking a little nervous as he walked down the hallway to read a book.
It was planned to interfere with the collected cells, but one morning, the assistant's discovery interrupted the original plan. By continuing to observe some basic parameters of the planet, the collected data shows that the orbit of the planet, which has been relatively stable, has changed, as if it has drunk high, and began irregular motion around the star, and this morning, the irregular movement has lasted for a long time, the planet seems to be about to break away from the gravitational pull of the star and fly away from it, the near and far star points have changed, in a word, away from the star. If it continues at this rate, the star will not be able to control it. As far as the planet is still orbiting near the sidereal point, the temperature of the entire planet is beginning to change, and it is reasonable to predict that the temperature could drop by half if it reaches the far sidereal point. This is a new situation, Ndals operated the automatic flight detection system, observed different areas, and saw a white expanse at zero degrees on the two axes of the planet. The captain put his head very close to the light and realized that the hydroxide had begun to condense near the zero point. According to the captain's instructions, Endals predicted the possible outcome of the change in the temperature of interest, that when the temperature was only half of what it is now, with the zero degree point of the axis as the center, there would be a circular hydroxide condensation into a towering mountain, and the uncondensed hydroxide might be only one-third of what it is now. Seeing this result, the assistant said softly, what will happen to those monomers then? The captain said it wasn't necessarily a good thing. If the liquid hydroxide decreases, it means that the area occupied by the entire planetary cup will be drastically reduced, and the single life that depends on them for survival will naturally die in large numbers. The assistant asked, this is not necessarily good, but if there is a fairly high percentage of deaths, is there any hope for our empire? The captain said that you underestimate the tenacity of life, who can guarantee that in such a situation, without the tenacious individual of its own vitality, will become one of the few survivors, and where is their way out? Assistant, think, land.
Thinking in this way, both of them could only observe the collected monomers while waiting for the occasional but inevitable day to come. Change doesn't happen instantaneously, but it's extremely fast. At the southern tip of the Philek continent, Wantel, which is close to the zero degree point, has condensed, and the results of the detection show that 90% of the monomers can no longer withstand the rapid drop in temperature caused by the large-scale condensation, and the surviving monomers have also reached the verge of death. As far as this area is concerned, there was no result predicted by Flowers, and the unpromising outcome made the captain's face very ugly. If it weren't for the sparse monomers that Endals found next, the captain would have wanted to leave the planet, if the ship could still fly, of course. The sparse monolith had been found on the edge of a large continent connected to Ephrèrek, and Kororos looked at it and recognized that it was the land he named Esnia, but it had changed a lot from when he named it, and the edge had been slightly detached, forming a series of islands around the continent. Needless to say, it has to do with the unstable internal structure of the planet and its continuous rotation. In the hydroxides between the islands and the mainland, a small amount of residual monomer was found in Endals. These areas are far from the zero degree point and the temperature is relatively high. But why is it that Philek is so far away from zero that he doesn't find it? It's hard to explain, maybe it's the terrain. Coronavirus has read in planetary topography that special topography can create special microclimates in local areas. Maybe you need to go to that place in person and collect a few cells and come back.
Endals did not fight with his superiors, and after getting ready to land the system, the captain went out. Hope, if it was still there, was tiny, and Flowers had to see it with his own eyes. The landing system was somewhat reluctant to reach that area, and he needed to control the flight altitude and speed reasonably. The continent of Esnia was almost twice the size of Ephyrek, and at first Corors didn't pay much attention to it, but before this trip, his attentive assistant told him that in the heart of the continent, where he had found his boss who had disappeared from the whirlpool, he warned the captain to pay attention. The captain planned to see the lucky individual life, and if the situation allowed, he would go to the place where he had escaped. Thinking about the experience in the whirlpool, the captain was a little distracted, and the landing system had reached the edge of the continent. The unfully developed primitive surface plants are scattered on the ground, and naturally there is no way to compare them with the hometown of Colors. Now he forces himself not to always think about his hometown, but many times this effort fails.
Because it is a remnant monomer, the number is very small, and it is really difficult to search. Several searches close to the surface of the water failed, and Crown contacted the assistant, who again determined the data of the coordinates, and was sure to answer correctly. Since there is nothing wrong, I have no choice but to continue the search. When I didn't find it, it was really anxious, but when I really got to the front of me, I couldn't believe it, those monomers appeared again, and the captain hurried to start collecting, and the collection needed to be near the water. The concentrated work didn't last long, and a fierce force behind the system pushed the system to the edge of land. If it weren't for the system's automatic correction of anomalies in its flight data, Korors would have been in danger again. The system stumbled with Chronos to the edge of land and Vantelle, and the captain made a clear eye to see who was colliding with it behind him. Although this scene was something he and his assistant had been looking forward to seeing for a long time, seeing it made him feel something at the same time. Is this monolithic life in front of you an Odans? If it weren't for the fact that he clearly knew that Odans had mutated and disappeared for a long time, he would definitely think that this was Odans. Judging from the appearance alone, there are so many similarities between this life form and Odans, and some features are not even indistinguishable at all, but this is by no means Odans. After the captain manipulated the manipulator to drag the lifeform away from Vandelle and off land, Korors was pleasantly surprised to find that the monomer had something in common with the limbs of the monomer that had died in the laboratory, and after contacting his assistant, the assistant was able to operate another landing system that could barely be used to reach the edge of the continent of Esnia. After reuniting with the captain, the two of them used four manipulators to bring the small monolith back to the ship. What is frightening is that the power of the system has not been exhausted in the middle of the process.
The monomer was placed in the laboratory, and in view of the lessons learned last time, Korors did not rush to put him in any vessel, and the direct exposure proved that the monomer had adapted to the terrestrial environment to a certain extent. Naturally, there is no reason for dissecting a living monomer, and it can only be observed. The size is big, the movement is also large, and the single body fluttering on the test bench is really impossible to observe, so Endals made a special cage to put the single body in, and he told the captain that life is actually very crazy many times, and if you love them or want to control them, you must have the concept of cage. Colors was a little impressed by this sentence, perhaps from which the studious assistant had seen it from some of the books in his bookcase. He nodded to his assistant in appreciation. Indeed, it is much more convenient to observe this way. There is a big headache, that is, they don't know what this guy should eat, can they eat the same flight meal as the two of them. The assistant brought some to the monomer and fed them according to the number, and found that this guy's favorite food was still multiple shelves of acidic carbohydrates, that is, meat. Even the least flattering meal of the flight, the 13th, was eaten with relish. Then the thinking that arises is that it eats objectively, and what does it feed on in natural forces? Could it be a smaller monomer than him? The captain took advantage of its gobbling up and observed its mouth.
