How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 9: Good and Bad

Why is it like this? Although it can't be said that every single-celled organism must have the photoreceptor organ of 'eye point', it doesn't mean that they don't have all of them..."

Subsequently, Huo Gu also noticed that there is also no chloroplast or chlorophyll in single-celled organisms that requires 'light' to participate in the reaction.

"Is it true that I was wrong at the beginning?"

"Is it possible that there is indeed no 'light' in the external environment, so these single-celled organisms have not evolved organelles associated with 'light'."

From the case of single-celled organisms, Huo Gu came to this conclusion.

There is an interaction between life and the environment. If there is no life in the beginning, the earth will gradually evolve into a barren planet.

The surrounding environment also determines the form that organisms can develop and affects their evolution.

As an energy source like the sun, it should be impossible for living things to let go. Even if there are no organelles related to 'light' at the beginning, they will find ways to evolve.

However, Huo Gu was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion. After thinking about it, he decided to continue a few more large-scale microbial capture operations.

"It's just that it's a little too arbitrary to conclude. This is only the first time to catch it. Try it a few more times. If it's still not, it should be certain that my current location is either a bottomless deep sea or an underground dark lake without any light."

Those inactive single-cell organisms are dismembered from the cell membrane and cell wall with trace enzymes, and then internal organelles and gene fragments are hauled into the inner cells after being pulled into the surface cells of the cavity, and fixed on the inner wall of the cell membrane with junction proteins.

For a moment, Huo Gu actually had the illusion of getting rich overnight.

However, the excitement of possible multicellular organisms quickly cools down.

Huo Gu knows very well that although the current multicellular cluster is invincible in the face of many microorganisms, once the opponent is replaced by multicellular organisms, it will be as fragile as a newborn baby.

The cell wall that can block bacteriophages is thinner than paper in the eyes of macrobiotics.

Enzymes that can break down cell walls are not lethal for macroscopic organisms.

Macrobiotics can easily tear the sharp teeth and claws of epidermal tissue. In the view of the current single-cell cluster, it is equivalent to the nuclear weapons of those big countries in African indigenous people.

"It's not enough... There is still a long way to go if you want to stop being threatened by life."

While warning himself of the current situation, Huo Gu commanded the cells to open their mouths.

The big mouth of the blood basin, which looks like a black hole, slowly opens. Driven by the flow, Huogu's single-cell cluster advances forward, and countless microorganisms, proteins, amino acids and other substances are wrapped in the place of death without being noticed.

Use enzymes to kill those viruses that are no longer worthless, extend the connective protein, capture a large number of microorganisms, dismember, and carefully extract the genes and organelles of the microorganisms.

With two successes, the third time has become more proficient, the number of opening mouths has increased, and the instructions of Huo Gu and the cells in the cluster are more coordinated, no longer as mechanical as before.

After going through and hundreds of times, the opening of the mouth seems to be no different from normal macrobiotics in Huo Gu's eyes.

This is good news, but there is also bad news.

The cause of the matter is the single-celled organism with suspected mitochondria captured by Huogu. This single-celled organism is a sulfur bacterium that uses sulfur for life.

Sulphur bacteria, Huogu is not unfamiliar with it. It has seen such single-celled organisms in sampled volcanic rocks with an electron microscope.

These creatures are generally distributed in waters with sulfur, and as their names are, they are inseparable from sulfur.

Even in the original human period, sulfur bacteria were not extinct. They were mainly concentrated near active volcanoes or hot springs, and even in 100 degrees of boiling water could survive.

Since such a creature is captured, it can be reversed. There must be a large area of stable sulfur environment nearby.

"I just want that place not an active volcano."

Huo Gu was worried that even if the volcano did not erupt, it was just emitting thick smoke.

Bad substances mix with rain in the atmosphere with soot. The result is either acid rain or alkaline rain. After a heavy rain, the water quality environment will change greatly in an instant.

And those magma, without eye observation around, magma is also extremely dangerous for Hogu and single-cell clusters. The face will make the surrounding liquid boil. In this high-temperature environment, the cells combined into a whole will all die in a few seconds, or be cooked.

There is no way. At present, the multicellular organism composed of single cells is so simple that it doesn't even have a temperature sensing system. Huo Gu can only indirectly observe the water temperature through protein changes in the cell cluster.

If the fangs and claws of macro organisms are for the current single-cell cluster equivalent to nuclear weapons at the level of a major country,The active volcano is equivalent to the sun. What Huo Gu can do now is awe. Once the volcano erupts, at the current speed of action of the cluster, then There is no doubt that you will die.

"Only when you lose it can you know the treasure of those things..."

Huo Gu misses his eyes and the international civil airliner that can reach twice the speed of sound in the human world.

Clear the distractions, and now there is not so much time to waste on it. Those threats hidden in the dark will not wait for it to be ready.

At present, there are two points that can be determined.

First, from the captured single-celled organisms, it can be determined that the surrounding environment is completely dark, so no single-celled organism has evolved organelles related to 'light'.

Second, there is an unknown area with dense sulfur elements nearby.

"In the face of the worst situation, assume that there is such an active volcano nearby..."

Huo Gu's analysis stopped abruptly. It was not that it didn't want to deduce, but that its thinking was down.

In the face of absolute power, these are just futile struggles.

"...Sure enough, we still need eyes."

An idea appeared in Huo Gu's thoughts - since there is no organelle about 'light', why not create a pair of 'eyes' independently?

As soon as this idea appeared, it was like a soaring weed, occupying Huo Gu's thoughts in an instant, and it lingered no matter what.

"Yes, I can completely design a visual system by myself, which is better than the 'eye points' of those single-celled creatures and have excellent performance."

"If it's standard, take people's vision as the standard."
