"Where does our future hold?"
"If we can vassalize this civilization, even if they don't help us progress, at least we can be protected......"
"Do they have an answer?"
"Not yet. ”
The mercury people are quite pessimistic at the moment, they know that interstellar navigation technology must be achieved, and civilizations that cannot do this can only be trapped in their home planet forever.
If you can't rush to the sea of stars, you will always be indigenous.
Bai Ge was the first civilization they had come into contact with, and seeing that the other party was leaving, they naturally didn't want to let go.
The qualification to survive has been obtained, and even so, if you simply pay more, maybe there will be a reward. Otherwise, the whole process of contact, except for the discarding of five satellites, is really unacceptable.
At this time, the spacecraft suspended in the outer atmosphere finally recovered.
"You can become vassals, I will personally stay on this planet, I will give you some small tests, and every time you pass a little test, you can learn a lesson from me. "This is the reply of the bell, which informs all the cities of the entire civilization.
"Great!"
Hearing this, the mercury man was excited, and he got it so easily?
They feel that they will not get technology if they become vassals, and they plan to spend dozens or hundreds of years to please each other, and find a way to learn the corners and corners to be satisfied.
Unexpectedly, the other party directly proposed that knowledge can be learned, but it is just a key test.
"What test?" asked the mercury man.
As soon as he finished asking, he saw an inconspicuous stone fall from the sky and hit a flat land.
It was a stone that rushed out of the ship, and after throwing the stone, the ship sped away, and the mercury man did not know what it meant.
Soon, however, the stone condensed into a human form, which was a bell.
Of course, the mercury people didn't know that this was the appearance of the bell, and thought that the other party was deliberately imitating their human appearance.
"Terrifying and bizarre technology, this civilization is very good at transforming natural substances, it looks ordinary, as small as a stone, as large as a planet, it is their weapon. The mercury man thought to himself.
Bell said, "I am the messenger of the Blue and White Kingdom, and from now on, I will be stationed here. ”
As he spoke, the surrounding earth and rocks and even various natural materials moved, and soon a towering black tower stood on the land.
Subsequently, thousands of native animals were captured from all corners and entered the Black Tower, and it was not known what they were going to do.
"I will help these species evolve, and thousands of years ago, your ancestors competed with their ancestors to win, and now, you have to face them more powerfully, to recall the fear of being devoured by them. The bell said.
"Ahh
The mercury people were shocked, they didn't expect it to be such a test.
As a living planet, there are many species from ancient times to the present, and most of them are extinct today.
Especially after civilization has reached its current prosperity, such extinctions have become more frequent, and a large number of species have disappeared in the era of civilization.
They didn't know that after Bai Ge came here again, there was another harvest, that is, the pure black stone tablet automatically recorded the genes of all species here from ancient times to the present.
Where the pure black stele is, it has an ecological gene map.
Like Earth, the planet has had many species that dominated an era in the past, and all kinds of terrifying creatures once roamed the planet.
If it weren't for bad luck, if it weren't for the asteroid impact, the strong eruption of sunspots, the gamma-ray burst sweeping, the active period of the earth's crust and other global natural disasters, this kind of unfortunate force majeure, in fact, many terrible species could have given birth to wisdom and created civilization.
The race that rules the planet will not necessarily be mercury people who evolved from mercury flukes.
At this moment, the bell wants the mercury people to face those native prehistoric creatures again, and start a repechage match.
Of course, the mercury people, who already have scientific and technological civilization, undoubtedly have huge advantages, but it is not so easy to have a bell for macro control.
The bell could change the magic of those terrible species, and she had done this experiment when she was on Earth.
Even Yuyoshi Togo, who is just a pet chain store owner, has successfully transformed into a giant, not to mention the bell that has mastered a certain law of transformation?
As long as you are willing to sacrifice materials, you can create an existence that combines the advantages of multiple species.
In the past, there weren't so many materials for the bell to make, and if you only had the genetic map of the earth, you wouldn't be able to get many powerful species, so Bai Ge had never supported this kind of thing.
Now it's different, the pure black stone tablet has all the genes of two and a half planets, half of which is the immortal kingdom, after all, the immortal kingdom is the same as the earth's environment, so although the species are different, they are similar, and they can only be regarded as half.
With more genes, of course, Bell wants to experiment and summarize more data.
Now the entire mercury planet is a testing ground, and by creating the dominant creatures that this planet once had, coupled with the customization of the bells, a group of powerful and competitive species can soon be born.
Although he may still be knocked out by Bai Ge with a punch, it will definitely be enough if it just puts pressure on the life of the mercury man.
For example, 400 million years ago on this planet, there was a seemingly inconspicuous bivertebrate, the Inner Combustion Beast, which dominated the planet for more than 300 million years.
It is symmetrical, only one meter and two meters tall, and is divided into three parts: head, torso and tail, but these three parts, each with a pair, are creatures with two sets of spinal motor systems.
The neural senses are exceptionally powerful under the double spinal system, and they also have a functional organ that is impossible for terrestrial beings, the internal combustion organ.
By secreting chemicals on their own, the organism burns a large amount of methane stored in the body, causing it to produce a huge amount of energy in the body, and this internal combustion allows them to run like a fly.
It is even ejected from its porous organs, like a rocket, which can be used to fly, dash, and attack.
The creature's feces and body fluids have a special corrosive and spoiling effect on plants and animals, allowing them to digest food and extract large amounts of methane. The manure then kills the plants, leaving the living environment with a lot of methane.
It can be said that the planet now has such a high methane content that the creature has contributed a lot.
But at the same time, they are also extinct here, because the methane content is so high that other organisms can not keep up with their environmental modification ability, causing countless organisms to go extinct, and finally they also become extinct because they have no food source.
Of course, it is difficult for species to be completely extinct, and there will always be a small number that will be left for later and spread around the world again.
Today's 'fire-setting bugs', which are descendants of the Inner Combustion Beast, are much more fertile, and because of their shrinking size, they need less food and less to transform the environment.
But even so, the mercury man classified it as a pest, because 80 percent of the fires are caused by this bug.
Every city conducts a massive pest control campaign every year to prevent them from emitting accelerants within the city, causing methane burning in the atmosphere.
Nowadays, there are many of these arsonists in the biological materials captured by the bell, and as a descendant, they will be genetically covered, and the probability of success will be very high.
"This kind of creature is quite interesting, if they don't wantonly destroy the atmospheric environment, and continue to develop and give birth to civilization, it is easy to enter the industrial age, after all, it is too convenient to smelt minerals. In the distant spaceship, Bai Ge said.
However, the bell said: "No, if you continue to dominate, even if you give them a few hundred million more years, it will be difficult to give birth to civilization." You must know that it only took millions of years for the mercury people to appear and then give birth to civilization. The main reason why the internal combustion beasts have dominated for hundreds of millions of years has not given birth to civilizations is that they are too strong. ”
"Weakness is the accelerant of the fire of civilization, prematurely there are no natural enemies, and civilization has no cradle for breeding at all, because it is already so strong that civilization is not needed. ”
As he spoke, Bai Ge used the pure black stone tablet to create hundreds of internal combustion beasts.
All but one of the fire-setting bugs that were caught had their genes broken were transformed into these prehistoric creatures.
They are all in a special oxygen-free chamber, because if the organism is left in an oxygen-rich environment, it will 'catch fire' or even explode.
As long as they are not provided with combustible fuel, they themselves can control how much combustible chemicals they secrete.
"The next step is to let them inherit the reproductive power of their offspring...... Lifetime estrus, ovulation 600,000 pills at a time, but because the body size remains the same, the amount of food will be greatly increased......"
The bell was designed, and soon Bai Ge changed one internal combustion beast after another, and it was not until the ninety-seventh hour that he finally succeeded.
"Their offspring set fires, and in order to survive, they also evolved the swarm effect, and have a centralized racial collective mindset, in which individuals can be fearless of death for the sake of their race...... This is something that the internal combustion beast does not have and can be transplanted. ”
Bai Ge continued to change, this kind of gene evolved by their descendants, the success rate was high, after the death of more than three hundred internal combustion beasts, the internal combustion beast with the swarm instinct was born.
In the case of a pure black stele, as long as it succeeds once, it will be recorded and can be directly overwritten later.
"Also, add an exoskeleton, which is a gene developed by a land creature on the planet 600 million years ago, and the thick exoskeleton can withstand the attacks of almost all species, so that the creature with this defense has multiplied until now, becoming a kind of pet of the mercury people. Although the Inner Combustion Beast has no natural predators, it does not feed on this creature, because it does not break the defense at all...... Whether it's destroying hard metal products, or resisting the heat of mercury people, or even blocking external accelerants to prevent self-explosion, etc., this is a necessary evolution. ”
Bai Ge has been transformed again and again, but unfortunately, because it is a completely heterogeneous gene, this time it has failed more than five hundred times in a row, and the materials have to be used up without success.
Fortunately, the bell also captured a large number of fire-setting insects on the planet, and sent them to the ship through the jump device of the embassy of the Black Tower.
It is the most efficient to use insects with strong reproductive ability as materials.
There are a large number of individuals in minutes, which are inexhaustible, and you can directly use a huge number of transformations to pile up successful cases.
It wasn't until the spaceships jumped to the next galaxy that Bai Ge finally succeeded in creating an internal combustion beast armed with exoskeleton creatures, with a total of more than 40,000 failures.
I saw that the ultimate evolved inner burning beast had a hideous appearance, with two heads, two bodies, two tails, and eight outer limbs, all wrapped in thick bones.
Trapped in an oxygen-free chamber, it is ferociously devouring other internal combustion beasts.
"Don't move!" Bai Ge ordered.
The new internal combustion beast didn't understand it at first, but after all, it was so good, and as Bai Ge stopped it from devouring its own kind several times, it understood the meaning and obediently didn't move.
"Alright, it's enough for a new internal combustion beast with a swarm mind, amazing reproductive ability, and a very powerful individual. The bell said.
Bai Ge said: "Don't you need intelligence? We already have a way to add human-level brain genes. ”
"They have a decent intelligence of their own, probably as smart as pigs on Earth, which is already good. If you want it to be as intelligent as a human, it's easy to be spoiled by mercury people...... Then he learns technology and gradually abandons the advantages of his body. If we do, we might as well simply use the Modified Man......" Bell said.
Bai Ge thought to himself, what he and the bell wanted to do was a super biological weapon. If the intellectual superiority is higher than the physical superiority, the bodily instinct will be suppressed.
"If you want to improve your intelligence, you must have a stronger physical advantage......"
I saw Bai Ge suddenly say: "Bell, let it have the genetic replication ability of the water bear, and it can steal the genetic advantages of other creatures...... What are the probabilities?"
......
