Chapter 4: Design an intelligent race

Xu Zhi searched for a long time, and the best performer was a beetle-shaped creature.

"It has armor and is dexterous. The most important thing is that this kind of creature has a piece of armor on its head and no hair... Just you, lucky one, you will become the bald overlord of Homo sapiens in a future era, or even several eras .”

Xu Zhi pinched the ant-sized beetle with metal pliers, and put it into a transparent test tube.

Then I looked for food to raise this species, came to a brand new experimental field with a size of only one square meter, and put it in.

Cell division speed: 10,000 times!

for a short period of time.

The number of their species, crazy reproduction, death, newborn, the population suddenly reached hundreds of thousands.

Xu Zhi picked up a large number of transparent test tubes and placed them on the ground, "Come on, come to the tubes obediently, and line up to come in. There are three hundred test tubes per tube."

Affected by the brood, one by one "ants" lined up consciously and entered the test tube.

Then, Xu Zhi stamped the experimental batch number on each test tube.

He diluted the blood of the orangutan, dropped a drop of blood into each test tube, and then controlled the brood to let them pierce the skin by themselves. Their body fluids were fused with the blood of the orangutan, and the huge blood rejection caused them to die instantly. .

He is not some advanced biologist, what he has to do is very simple and rude, even a child can do it:

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

The blood is mixed, and those who cannot survive the blood rejection will die!

After two days of experimentation, countless batches of test tubes, tens of millions of huge beetles died.

In the end, in the three test tube samples 1042, 2041, and 2415, some beetles mutated and began to fuse with orangutan blood. They successfully survived the genetic rejection and survived.

However, those who survived did not necessarily have to accept the genes perfectly, but could also be species deformities.

Among the three test tubes, he selected the most successful test tube specimen, the test tube organism numbered 2041.

A miniature and exquisite species smaller than ordinary ants, with thick hair, looks like an ape with black armor, and it is named insect ape. But unfortunately, there is no baldness like Xu Zhi imagined. It has lush hair all over its body, and the top of its head is naturally covered with hair.

This ape, in the transparent test tube, knocked on the glass wall, roaring loudly with unknown and strange pronunciation.

Listen to the syllables, what's the bottom line

"Xiedi!"

"Thanks!"

"Thanks!"

...

The sound gradually transformed into a familiar word.

"????"

Xu Zhi was dumbfounded for a moment.

I want you to be bald, but you have thick black hair, and on the other hand, mocking me like a bald head

Brother, you are too much Hey!

Hair loss is obviously a short-term sequela of chemotherapy. After stopping chemotherapy, take a good rest for a month, and the hair will grow back.

You can tell it's not a good species at a glance.

Xu Zhi took a deep breath and felt that he should crush it to death, "I may be the only creature in the world created by myself, mocking the bald creator."

How dare you mock the great Creator who gave you life just after you were born

What a treason!

The character of this species must be cruel, vicious, crazy, warlike, and harmful to all beings, so it must be dealt with!

But think about it or forget it. After all, there are so many survivals of the fittest, and a mutant species that survives the fittest was born. Now we can’t kill it. Let’s endure his sarcasm first, keep a small notebook, and then kill it.

And this poor creature never imagined that after its birth, the roaring syllables that it instinctively uttered would cause a certain extremely vengeful and narrow-minded creator to hold a grudge in his heart. What a fateful fate the future era would bring to its race .

"Little brother, let's settle this vengeance in the future..."

Xu Zhi took a deep breath and put it back into the experimental field to let the worm ape reproduce.

Accelerated cell division: ten thousand times!

This strange insect ape died quickly, ending its sinful life of roaring "Baiding". In a short period of time, it quickly multiplied a group of tens of thousands, walking on the ground, like a nest of dense black ants .

"Thanks!"

"Thanks!"

"Thanks!"

Delicate little insect apes, they walked unconsciously in the sand table, they ran around facing the giant in the sky, cheerful and lively, and let out collective roars.

"You still scold me, are you poisonous?" Xu Zhi's veins twitched. After he invested in the orangutan gene, he now plans to invest in the second gene, the white ant gene. He got angry, "Exterminate your evil race."

This time, it failed.

He repeated it more than seventy times, exterminating hundreds of thousands of insects and apes in his life, but he was able to successfully integrate the termite gene once in his life.

"It should be that the species level is too low to accommodate too many genes at once."

Helpless, he had no choice but to put the termite genes on hold, and began to speed up the division of this insect ape by 10,000 times, multiplying in large numbers, and waiting for them to produce their own wisdom and civilization.

But no matter how many generations those insects and apes have reproduced, they still look completely ignorant, and still roar "bald", "bald".

Xu Zhi thought for a while, then suddenly realized.

"I'm so stupid. Cell division is accelerated by 10,000 times. If a person's lifespan is only a dozen seconds, how can he have time to think? To create civilization? Language? Writing?"

"Should we adjust the speed of cell division and evolution to normal? But it will take too long for them to reproduce normally, human beings, but it will take thousands of years for civilization to be born!" He began to check the information in the brood, thinking that there must be a solution.

Sure enough, there really are.

According to Zerg's counting unit, a double is a year.

Cells divide 10,000 times faster than 10,000 years in one day.

This kind of acceleration, birth, mating, and death in a few seconds, will leave the creature no time to think, and the brain cannot bear such a terrifying speed of division. It can only rely on a huge base, instinctive survival of the fittest, and ultra-fast adaptation to the environment.

However, when the cell division is adjusted a hundredfold, another change will occur.

At this time, the biological brain can start to withstand a hundred times the speed of division. A hundred times divided brain, brain cells, and neuron cells will speed up thinking a hundred times.

"Their bodies speed up a hundred times, and their thinking speeds up a hundred times, which is equivalent to their speed of time, a hundred times faster..." Xu Zhi thought for a while, and ordered to the brood:

"For this area, cell division speed: a hundred times."

After adjusting the speed of cell division, the thinking of these ant-sized insect apes was a hundred times faster, and their movements unexpectedly kept up with their brains.

Because every cell in the body is splitting a hundred times crazily and releasing energy during the massive burning of life, making their movements super fast, as if they have opened eight doors of armor.

At this time, in the entire sand table, it seemed to be living in the world of accelerated time, and the madness turned into an afterimage.

He suddenly became curious, and asked the deputy brain of the brood:

"Myself, can I accelerate a hundredfold cell division?"

The hive's mechanical answer:

"No, this is the unique racial ability of the Zerg. Only after the Zerg cells are transplanted can the cell division be accelerated by a hundred times... At that time, the brain cells are in a state of dividing by a hundred times, and the world will feel a hundred times slower, and, Everywhere in the body, a hundred times the cell division will release a powerful force, and the movement will keep up with the accelerated thinking."

Synchronization of movement and thinking is equivalent to speeding up the life of the whole person by a hundred times

Really "burning life" runaway state

Xu Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head:

"The current me is accelerated by a hundred times, and the division of cancer cells is also accelerated by a hundred times. I will have terminal cancer and die instantly, right?"

At this time, Xu Zhi spent two days experimenting with insect apes, and the large sand table on the other side was accelerated by ten thousand times, which was equivalent to another twenty thousand years, and some powerful species had already appeared.

Trees soared into the sky.

A large number of giant species appeared, entering a terrifying era similar to the Jurassic era.

The biggest one was the beast, a crustacean beast with a black disc on its head, which had reached the upper limit of size set by Xu Zhi, the level of a cat.

This size, placed on an insect ape the size of an ant, is like a human encountering a giant ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex that is nearly 100 meters high.

"I don't know, how will they survive?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while, and began to directly slow down the cell division speed of the big sand table by ten thousand times, and also adjusted it to one hundred times, which could bear the speed of thinking, after all, it had to be synchronized.

"The experiment is complete, find a place in the sand table and put these ancient insect apes."

Xu Zhi stepped on the blue shoe covers used in the laboratory, and holding three hundred insect apes in transparent test tubes, walked across the orchard ground, small and delicate green valleys, and stepped on small and delicate lush forests.

Trees began to collapse, the ground shook, and countless species in the deep forest fled frantically.

"Just here."

Xu Zhi put these experimental insect apes into a large canyon surrounded by green trees to the south of the sand table.
