It took Cao Chuan 1 year to design the rule simulation life, so by the time he finished it, the 3 Loli had actually forgotten what he had said at the beginning.

But Cao Chuan still remembers the creation of life, think about it, in the void universe, there are so few planets with life, maybe there will be one out of hundreds of thousands of planets, and even fewer planets will give birth to intelligent life. If there is a way to create some life, it would be a good idea to make the universe a little more lively.

"First of all, it starts with bacteria, the way viruses reproduce is too strange, and they have to use the cells of other life as shells, so the basic conditions are that these bacteria can tolerate the cold of minus 250 degrees Celsius, can survive in a vacuum, and have a way to obtain energy through anaerobic respiration, light, ores, etc."

As he set the conditions and started the rule simulation, various samples of bacteria that had been found on the earth gradually emerged as some of the results that met the criteria, but today he wants to create life from nothing, so these results will be used as a reference at most, and will eventually be filtered out.

After another whole month, new results appeared, and he designed a new bacterium, named No. 1, which has the reproductive ability of perfect autologous replication, can use the chemical energy generated in the process of heat energy and partial metal synthesis as the nourishment for its own growth, and has a relatively stable genetic helix, so that there will be no accidents.

Of course, this is the most primitive template, equivalent to a blank piece of paper, which only ensures the reproduction and survival of the basics, because Cao Chuan plans to stock these bacteria on other planets to play, and hopes that they can play a role, so they have to be given other functions.

"What exactly do these little things do to humans? For example, crystal worms can provide us with rich mineral deposits... Or, to become a special kind of human-driven auxiliary life, such as a colony? ”

These directions all sounded a little attractive, but Cao Chuan shook his head. "Why do I have to find a special use for these bacteria? Isn't it the process of creating life and enjoying it, so let's play with it. ”

Cao Chuan decided to give these bacteria a way to produce organic matter, and they can also secrete nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and so on for thousands of years. The surface of a planet creates an environment where life can thrive, for example, organic matter is the basis for carbon-based life, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are essential for plant growth.

Forget that it is better to produce a certain amount of gas, so that the surface of the planet with a gravitational force can produce an atmosphere, and ensure that the temperature difference does not change too much, and the temperature difference is also one of the species killers, which has wiped out countless species on the earth.

Repeated rule simulations make the number 1 of a blank piece of paper more complicated. You must know that the failure rate of designing such a complex thing is very high, and he currently has only a limited number of theories, unlike human beings who have a lot of mature theories to refer to when designing machinery.

Another month passed, and the improved version of No. 1 came out, Cao Chuan could no longer stay in the virtual world at this time, in order to use his ability, he returned to his body, and below he used molecular manipulation to create life.

Number 1 has a very small number of genes. There are only 300 gene segments, like Escherichia coli, which have 4,000 gene segments. Mycoplasma also has 500 gene fragments, and with the molecular manipulation developed by its own ability, it can be assembled in about a day.

Underneath him, he found a rock floating in the universe, surrounded by a glass wall, totaling 10 cubic meters, which was used as the home of Number 1. Make sure that the temperature, living space are all up to the conditions.

He patiently replaced the created gene fragments into a common amoebic cell, waited for resurrection, and then transplanted it into the artificial environment he had created.

In this way, in this artificial environment that is deliberately kept the same as other alien worlds. After No. 1 obtains energy, it reproduces according to the law of life, because there is very little energy in the universe, and in the artificial environment, it is extremely cold, and there are not many ores that can be used as food, and the reproduction rate of No. 1 is slow, maintaining the speed of one generation a day.

And any bacteria in the environment is suitable, the space is suitable, the value-added rate is exponentially explosive, although the speed of the 1-day generation is slow, there is no need to worry, it is only 1 month later, No. 1 has expanded in the greenhouse, the number has grown to hundreds of millions.

At this time, the by-products left behind by No. 1 will be detected from the man-made environment, and due to the expansion of the bacterial area, the pale gray rock surface will appear a tile blue, which is the color of No. 1 itself.

The organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compounds, carbon dioxide, and oxygen produced during their respiration are precipitated in a closed environment, although the amount is less than 1 ng, after generations, thousands or even millions of years later, it is enough to make some changes in the planet's environment.

"Looks like it's okay!" Cao Chuan said happily when he saw this scene.

"These are new beings created by the master?" 3 Lori, they called a monitor to observe, and saw the great changes in the microcosm.

"Sure enough, it's a germ I've never seen before." Nana said with admiration: "Their vitality is quite tenacious, and in this environment deliberately created by the owner, it is very easy to survive." ”

White Lotus said, "Master, do they have a way to survive the cosmic disaster?" ”

"Of course, it is difficult for a weak life to survive in the universe." Cao Chuan nodded, "So they must also have the possibility of dealing with cosmic disasters, and I am also prepared for this." ”

After Bai Lian got Cao Chuan's consent, he pulled a device out and incorporated it into the artificial environment, creating a strong magnetic field, which is simulating the solar wind, and the cosmic disasters that stars often release are the enemies of life.

I saw that the high-energy rays quickly penetrated the No. 1 covering the surface of the planet, and the No. 1 died in large numbers, and the original tens of billions of races were instantly reduced by more than 90%, and only the lucky ones survived by relying on the rock formations to block them, and when the cosmic disaster passed, a new round of reproduction work would automatically begin.

She tried other types of cosmic disasters again, including the Great Collision, the high temperature, and the bitter cold of minus 270 degrees Celsius, and found that No. 1 was still alive despite the very high mortality rate, and seemed to have an indomitable spirit.

And most of the bacteria on the earth are simply not able to survive in such a harsh environment, and even if they are, they cannot meet Cao Chuan's needs in terms of reproduction speed or function. (To be continued.) )
