Speaking of digital Xu Zhi, the first reaction is this.

Then it is inexplicably associated with the red and white game consoles in the 1980s and 1990s, Xiaobawang, King of Fighters, Pokemon, black and white color pixel squares, and then it is associated with mosaics.

How evil is it

Xu Zhi felt that as a partner of the planet, he returned to his inner world "Six Paths of Reincarnation" and perfected the world view of several ancient forbidden areas. This brought him new surprises

As for, I just brought those guys here, negotiated friendly, and ignored the topic of the interview in an instant. After all, I just recovered from the online game players in that world.

"Digital?" Xu Zhi asked.

"Digital, maybe it can be called that."

Caroline is indeed a crazy life scientist, keen on life structure transformation, genetic engineering,

"You know, when I created the whole family of cells, it was the crystallization of the biological civilization of the Ishtar people. This is a special kind of basic high-energy level cell. It is very simple. It is equivalent to clay footballs. There is no cell wall and no cell wall. The nucleus, no complex structure like DNA...it's just a delicate football structure with endless possibilities."

This is no exception.

After all, the original concept was that "one" equals "all", and "all" equals "one".

This whole family of cells is the ultimate structure of genetic programming for this group of mad scientists known as the Protoss. They believe that it is the most perfect basic life programming form in theory.

And why are there infinite possibilities

It is precisely because of its extremely "simple" structure that it forms "one", has the possibility of "all", and has an infinite future.

The "powerful" they mentioned is not viewed from the perspective of the current technological level of the Ishtar people. They believe that after tens of thousands of years, their technological civilization has developed to an incomparably advanced level. The "whole family" structure still has unlimited possibilities.

Simpler means infinite possibilities.

It coincides with some kind of hidden truth.

"Digital, is it related to the whole family of cells?" Xu Zhi realized.

"Yes."

Caroline smiled and said, "You know, the whole family of cells, there is no genetically programmed helix."

Xu Zhi understood this.

Most of life now has a DNA location that stores life-encoding information. However, the whole family of cells has been simplified to the point that there is no "genetic gene". Xu Zhi doesn't know how to pass on the family...

Caroline explained, "What is the fundamental function of the genetic gene pool of life? We have done the genetic engineering project of the Ishdar people. The wise men of the entire civilization have jointly analyzed the helical structure of tens of billions of gene sequences and discovered The role of the genetic structure library is mainly because the physiological structure of a life is too complicated...

To differentiate into bone cells, hair cells, and blood cells with various precise structures, the amount of data stored is naturally large.

For example, when a person is injured, there are only bones left in that area. On the bone cells, blood cells and skin tissues that are completely different from their own need to be regrown. How do they grow

It is necessary to store the genes of flesh and blood cells on the bone cells in order to generate blood and flesh cells with a structure different from their own and repair the body...

Therefore, almost every cell has a compositional gene pool that reproduces other hair, bone, and blood cells. As long as there is one cell, it can theoretically rebuild your whole person, so there is such a complex storage information library...

And what is the whole family of cells

Without any other cell differentiation, only one of the simplest clay cells,

Therefore, there is no need for such a complex gene database, and therefore, no gene pool is not afraid of being infected by a unified virus. This is the strongest virus immune body invented by our Ishtar people. "

Xu Zhi:? ?

He reacted immediately.

Feelings, you have always been thinking about the unification virus? !

For this deadly zombie virus that destroys your civilization, I can’t forget it. The unification virus is to crack the gene of this life. The infection is aimed at the gene. Now I have come up with a direct cure. I don’t have DNA. ", see how you infect me...

Too cruel!

At this moment, Xu Zhi finally understood what a huge technological crystallization and strong resentment had been poured into the life structure of the "whole family" of the Ishdar people!

"Back then, the Zhushen virus couldn't infect the entire planet, so I knew it was the killer of the virus... But it was able to infect No. 18 because she wasn't a pure race, an artificial human with DNA cells from other organisms."

Xu Zhi thought, "The whole family does have infinite possibilities. It may be the life structure of the only true god who created the world in the future."

After all, what did the ancient Chinese philosophy say

Chaos is one, everything in life.

Simple clay living cells...

It seems simple, but the technical content required to achieve this step is too huge.

At present, the whole family can indeed create all things, and clay cells can create all kinds of life, although in essence they are only superficial clay creatures with shapes.

As for black hair

It's just clay silk with black pigment on it.

Xu Zhi sighed, "So, this digital life is related to the whole family of cells?"

"Something related."

Caroline looked calm, stretched out her hand slightly, and a translucent screen appeared in front of her eyes, "On it is this evil planet, the evolution history of civilization in the past two hundred years."

Crash!

In the picture, a planet is flying into the sky, which is the first moment of ascension.

This is a medium-sized planet.

The beautiful snow-white ceramic planet is as beautiful as a work of art, with a surface area of 100 acres of land. The interior is a sophisticated structure of true energy meridians, and its function is also very simple... suspending, and emitting gravity waves to absorb creatures on the planet.

Crash!

Soon, a white porcelain god standing on the starry sky gently stretched out his hand in the picture, and a large amount of mud and glaciers covered the white porcelain planet, throwing some already prepared, suitable for the planet's gravity and gravity. The life in the ecological environment, the plant, began its initial reproduction.

The life of the protagonist on this planet is a simple structure similar to a paramecium. It is half a person tall and wrinkled. It seems that it is not very intelligent. It is only similar to the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child in adulthood.

Trees are all kinds of small shrubs, and there are more than ten kinds.

As vacuum plants, in the cold vacuum universe, without the protection of the atmosphere, they have already evolved to have the ability to suck "ice" on the planet to replenish water.

In addition to paramecium, there are some animals with simple structures that completely belong to beasts, beetles, and small animals, which belong to the lowest level of beast life.

"At this point in development, the initial intelligent life on this planet was finished."

Caroline said, "I don't have much hope for this planet, because although intelligent life has evolved, its intelligence is really not high. It is only six or seven years old for normal children. It's just a simple primitive civilization planet, at most it can only build houses, wield sticks to resist, and the invasion of other alien races... "

"Indeed, the IQ is too low," Xu Zhi replied.

This is very normal.

At the time of deduction, most of the computing power was put on the "whole family", and other species were wild. If you look at it occasionally, although most of them have intelligent life of different levels, they have medium, Highly intelligent races are still rare.

Most of them are this kind of low-intelligence life, put on one planet after another to make up the numbers, and they will be the protagonists of the era, but they don't hold much hope.

After all, in the entire universe, the lowest life planets are naturally the most.

The two protagonists of the era, Shi Xing and Planet Cybertron, put their painstaking efforts into it...

"Then what happened next?"

Xu Zhi asked.

He lowered his head and looked at this pristine paramecium planet. It was a very primitive and savage forest, and there was no evil place to be seen.

But generally speaking, in two hundred years, there will never be "species evolution" on this planet. These paramecia are definitely still paramecium, the lowest life form.

It's not the "Genesis" flow rate.

Could it be that these low-level species can still evolve on their own initiative

Self-evolution, that is the ability only possessed by advanced wisdom species, embark on the road of cultivation, and actively improve the level of life.

"Then, something special happened..."

"It's also beyond my computing power. Sure enough, the miracle of nature cannot be guessed by calculation, and has infinite possibilities..."

Caroline's complexion also became a little weird, and she controlled the translucent screen to play again, "This is their development history of the next two hundred years, you can see for yourself."

Xu Zhi turned his head to look.

On the big screen, the development history of the entire planet is clearly recorded.

It's like a fast-forward movie.

With the passage of time, paramecium and various plants constitute the ecology of this world. These insects have a short lifespan, only five or six years, but their reproduction speed is comparable to that of ants.

Forty years have gone through more than ten generations, and it is only enough for some subtle population differentiation. Paramecium has differentiated from pure emerald green to emerald green and dark green creatures.

"The time for normal evolution is too short. After more than a hundred years, the differentiation of the population and adaptation to the environment will at most lead to a change of 'skin'."

Seeing this, Xu Zhi felt that life was going on like this.

But...

Xu Zhi suddenly saw the node of fate.

He clearly saw a paramecium, broke through the thick soil, entered the "center of the earth", and directly touched the body of the whole family of cell planets.

Then...

This kind of paramecium has reached the reproduction period and can't find a mate, so it lies on the ground and springs up against the whole planet...

Xu Zhi felt quite normal seeing this scene, and he didn't have any special emotions, just like seeing two puppies on the road that couldn't be described.

After all, we have seen a lot of this kind in nature. Many animals are like this. It is a normal life reaction. For example, Teddy can face the air after entering a certain period. Have you seen it in the animal world? Even dolphins will look for various kayaks or other small boats in this period...

But the next second...

He died on the spot!

Because he saw many parameciums, all of which could not find a mate due to survival reasons, and imitated this paramecium and began to face the whole planet.

Xu Zhi then saw that such strange behavior became a habit of this race, which lasted for more than ten years, until one day, the whole planet suddenly became pregnant...

planet!

She was pregnant! !

It gave birth to a tiny ceramic paramecium that whined wildly.

Ulu Ulu! !

The father of the short and wretched paramecium yelled, and the pheromone sent out a signal. He wept with joy, because he was too weak to find a mate, and could not continue the offspring. This was a gift from the earth to him.

He firmly believes that this child is extraordinary, that the whole planet and his descendants are a great and sacred life, he walked out of the ground, held the baby high,

"Uh! Ruh!—"

Crash!

A golden sun shines down, as if the origin of the ancient myth is engraved in history forever.

When Xu Zhi saw this period of evolutionary history of the planet's organisms, his whole mind was filled with thunder, and his whole body split apart.

"That's right... a short period of time is not enough for a creature to evolve significantly, but the glue between creatures is also a way to evolve a new species!"

Caroline also looked dignified, staring at this picture, the little ceramic paramecium, and calmly said, "This race, who doesn't know their era, has opened a new era, and the murals of history do not We will remember the glory of this moment.”

"Even I have to admit that this is a miracle of life, and it is difficult to replicate, because there is life isolation between species... After that, I tried this many times without success, and I also used species from other planets. Tested and found that none of them can produce offspring with the whole family, this case seems to be the only one.”

"In the end, I can only attribute it to the fact that the genes of this paramecium are very special, and it has produced some kind of strange chemical reaction with the whole family. After fusion, it can produce viable and normal offspring with the whole family... and the probability It is so low that it is unimaginable, I try again, it is impossible to succeed once.”

The miracle of life...

Xu Zhi also sighed with emotion.

The genetic isolation of two species is not absolute.

Tigers and lions can give birth to ligers with an ultra-low probability, but most of them are deformed and deformed.

"Amazing."

I have the ability to evolve, but I can't understand the secrets of evolution at all. The evolution of life is always full of incredible miracles and futures.

Maybe in the future, tenth or eleventh order? Only by becoming a true creator god can we understand the essence of life

boom!

Xu Zhi clearly saw that with the birth of the first special ceramic paramecium, he was extremely heavy and had a huge advantage, and began to reproduce continuously. It continued to make love to the earth, and used a strange fire totem to perform sacrifices. Make the process extremely grand.

The era of sacrificial clans was born.

With each generation of descendants, their genes are completely close to the genes of the whole family of cells, their strength has become huge, their weight has increased by more than seventy times, their structure has become extremely simple, and their cells have turned into simple balls.

Like the whole family of cells, they gradually lost their gene sequence structure...

What happens when a species loses its genetic structure

Xu Zhi saw it.

These ceramic paramecia lost their original tentacles, skin, and cell structure, and gradually turned into a puddle of mud. Every clan member did not have the same appearance and structure.

Looks like all kinds of mud...

It's like a little boy who made a bunch of strange creatures out of clay. The whole race is not the same.

Ulu!

They roared.

These primitive creatures thought it was the mother of the earth who punished them. Although it made them stronger, they lost themselves and became deformed. They started crazy rituals and held various strange tribal ceremonies.

"Without the genes, this species has lost the inherent form of life." Xu Zhi's expression became strange, "The offspring will have all kinds of crooked melons and jujubes, and no one will pinch them... They will have everything in appearance."

Then, something even weirder happened.

Among these ceramic clay paramecia, the "disease" that the god of the earth condemned is still spreading. The structure of their round cells has become more and more simplified, and the size of the cells has not shortened and expanded.

More deformed.

It was like a bunch of lumps of clay mud monsters fabricated at will, the genetic chain was completely broken, and the inherent genetic life form was lost.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhi was shocked on the spot, "Is this going to return to the ancestors? From multicellular organisms, degenerate into single-celled organisms?"

But Xu Zhi's worries were unnecessary.

They continued to degenerate and turned into organisms composed of hundreds of thousands of cells, and they were completely finalized.

Only hundreds of thousands of years of cells

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhi felt extremely shocked.

This feeling, people who have not seen it cannot understand this visual feeling.

You tell ordinary people that a creature with only hundreds of thousands of cells is too scary, and it is difficult for him to understand, and he will only respond with an "oh", because he cannot imagine it.

He didn't understand the concept of hundreds of thousands of cells.

You popularized science with him again. The cells of a normal Ishtar are about one million trillion cells. There is a comparison, but it is still unimaginable.

But it was shocking to actually see it.

It's like a bunch of mosaic creatures, pixel animals, large pixel particles, clearly visible...

Xu Zhi had goose bumps!

What kind of strange creature is this

Caroline was also silent for a while, full of emotion, "Now you understand how evil it is? When I thought I was strong enough, the miracle of life brought by nature made me feel like my own individual life. In this vast universe, how small and ridiculous it is."

She looked at the low-pixel animal, "In a sense, life is just composed of particles. If the pixel resolution of our modern Ishdar people is used, the resolution of our humans is 10 megapixels. The high-definition animals can only see the mosaic with a microscope, but in front of you... "

She stared at the pixels in front of her eyes, "In front of me, this monster, in our eyes, seems to be a 1080p pixel... from a high latitude, it is like viewing a two-dimensional flat creature."

In addition to the fact that life is a circle, she said another fact:

—The essence of the world is the pixels composed of particles.

"The evolution of life is always full of mystery and unknown."

Caroline went on to broadcast this mysterious creature all over the planet, and apparently it wasn't the end of it.

These pixel creatures, soon, begin a war against themselves.

At the same time, with the evolution of several generations, they quickly got rid of the spherical shape, because the spherical shape was too soft and did not have strong inlay ability, so they were quickly abandoned by themselves.

In just fifty years, square and octagonal shapes began to appear from spherical pixel cells.

Thanks to this mosaic cell block structure, which is as rigid as bone cells, they finally stood up... .

No longer a lump of mud...

In Xu Zhi's eyes, as if the vicissitudes of life had passed, he saw pixel mosaic animals fighting each other, and even the trees were made of pixel squares.

Look at this pixel planet...

As if seeing "My World", a bunch of square animals are launching a heroic forest war!
