In the spacious spacecraft laboratory, a series of biological cultivation devices are running quietly. A large transparent jar is placed on each silver-white integrated working platform. In the transparent jar, a small amount of red, blood-like viscous liquid slowly surges at the bottom, trying to climb up the outer wall of the jar as if alive. , and above those liquids, there are many biological tissues similar to blood vessels and tendons supporting some strange-shaped... organs.
That is the result of the cultivation device's work in the past few days, the strange life created by the original cells from the "holy coffin".
The data terminal connected itself to the laboratory's analysis host, and reported the progress here: "Cultivation can no longer continue at this stage, and these biological tissues will stop developing and no longer undergo functional differentiation. Their genetic The factor structure is weird, storing information far beyond the current forms, but some factors prevent these genetic information from being expressed, which may be related to the supernatural power of the goddess. In addition, the organs produced by each culture tank are slightly different, which may be related to It is related to the location where the original cells were collected, and this machine remembers that the cells were collected from the seven locations of the ancestor of life."
"Are these the organs of the original species?" Lily curiously pawed at the workbench closest to her, and looked at the weird "meat" pieces in the culture tank. They looked a little like animal flesh and blood tissue, but the color was different The texture has a feeling of plant fiber, the surface is flexible and well-organized, "it looks a little..."
"Disgusting, isn't it?" Nangong Wuyue stuck out her tongue, "It feels like a horror movie."
Lily licked her lips: "No, it looks a little appetizing, this is meat!"
Everyone: "..."
"Drag this thing to the back to prevent her from coming into contact with the sample," Hao Ren told Vivienne to keep the husky under strict supervision in a cold sweat. "You want to eat barbecue and go crazy!"
Lily was dragged behind by Vivian and kept jumping: "This is meat! This looks really meat! Try grilling a piece..."
"Let's continue with the business." Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and turned to look at the data terminal. "Do you think the cultivation result is correct? This is really a part of the original seed?"
"I'm not sure." The data terminal honestly admitted that this experiment was not so perfect, "There are many incomprehensible self-selections and mutations in the primitive cells during the development process. In the end, it became what it looks like. This machine It is not certain that these things are the First Seed—it seems impossible to use the cells of the First Seed to reverse its original form, and without the supernatural guidance of the Goddess, these things are just defective products."
Hao Ren frowned: "At least there should be some other achievements, right? At least some understanding of the original species."
The data terminal shook up and down: "This part of the results is still there. The cells used for cultivation come from a necrotic ganglion of the first seed, so these mutated tissues cultivated now are also related to neural activity, if they have not mutated into this way If so... it should be part of the brain tissue of the first seed, or they are the brain of that seed. These organs have a complex nerve conduction foundation, and there is also a transceiver structure similar to an antenna—but I don’t know where this part of the transceiver structure comes from. There is a problem. It doesn't work. The machine activates a sample, and its antenna gets a clutter."
"Brain part?" Hao Ren looked at the samples in the jar with interest, "Then do they have the ability to think? If reasonable stimulation is given."
"There is a complex reflection mechanism, but there is no sign of intelligence," the data terminal replied, and then suddenly mentioned a strange phenomenon, "There is another discovery, look at the No. 1 cultivation tank."
The voice of the data terminal fell, and a small crack suddenly opened on the top of the culture tank on the No. 1 workbench. Then a green plant was thrown in. The biological tissue and the red liquid in the jar immediately sensed it, they twisted and surged, and the green plants were quickly swallowed by the red liquid. However, after a while, the red liquid retreated aside harmlessly. The plant was intact and even looked a little more refreshed than when it was thrown in.
"This is a live sample," said the data terminal, "now you can look at the dead sample."
The greenery in the pot is taken out, and then a clump of withered grass is thrown in.
The red liquid wrapped the "foreign matter" again, and in just a second or two, the latter was completely digested.
"This is..." Y'zaks looked at what was happening in the jar in amazement, "Eating?"
Elizabeth held a small screwdriver and tried to get close to it, but her father snatched her back just after taking two steps. The little girl was still tossing: "I won't take it apart! I won't take it apart! I'm not a brat, I know this shouldn't be messed with - I just want to see it..."
But no one paid any attention to the little girl's excuse: maybe she really knows this and can't move around. But children's mobility... who can guarantee it.
"It will avoid living creatures, right?" Hao Ren saw the trick, "It's a scavenger."
"Scavenging, and considering that it is the ganglion of the first seed and also the 'console' in the early stage of the eldest son, this machine speculates that the first seed and even the eldest son hatched later survived according to the judgment mechanism of this ganglion Yes, that is, 'scavenging'," the data terminal said its own guess, "from this we can judge part of the law of action of the first seed that just 'landed' and the firstborn of the original form: they create life, evolve the ecological circle, and Take on the last link of the food chain by yourself, and recycle those dead biological tissues and nutrients in the soil to supply the whole cycle. They are responsible for providing the initial creation and final recycling of the ecosystem, while the intermediate evolution process is handed over to the second son, thus Complete a 'job'."
The data terminal added another sentence at the end: "It can also be fed with silicon minerals, water, sulfide, and carbon. This proves that the eldest son can adapt to a variety of nutritional environments, and it can also create organic matter by itself in the absence of organic matter."
"Scavenging, it sounds like a very gentle personality." Vivienne said thoughtfully.
"It is indeed a mild recipe, but it probably has little to do with 'character'," the data terminal explained, "The analysis host speculates that this scavenging property is just to ensure that there is no problem with the work, and to prevent blood tides from swallowing their creations by mistake. The life that comes out. Because if you want to set up a set of complicated filtering mechanism to select which kind of creatures can be eaten and how much should be eaten per meal, it will consume too many nerve cells, so the creator of the seed simply set the rules to make it become Scavengers, which eat only the dead and completely avoid living life, protect the ecosphere. Ganglion inhibition of primogenital activity presumably activates a similar mechanism."
"But the eldest son's 'scavenging' is obviously out of control. It eats everything," Hao Ren raised his eyelids. "Or to put it more directly, it deliberately got out of control. It wants to destroy the ecological circle."
"The eldest son's initial offensive ability should come from its 'feeding' mechanism, but in order to destroy the second son later, it began to develop various weapons, such as seed shells capable of space combat, which are obviously completely out of control," the data terminal said with a little emotion , "Look at how perfect its security mechanism was at the beginning, but unfortunately the system still collapsed later. This shows that the centralized network is not as reliable as the distributed network. If there is a problem with the server, all the terminals under it will be ruined."
The point of view of a PDA is really different.
"Although there is no way to analyze the cause of the eldest son's loss of control and the whereabouts of the goddess from these organs, we still have some results," the data terminal sighed and continued to talk about business. It directed an autonomous machine to send two small boxes to In front of Hao Ren, "This is just made."
The boxes were opened, and there was a silver-white ball inside one of them. There were neat blue patterns distributed on the surface of the ball, as if breathing between light and shade. Inside the other box were several transparent containers filled with light red liquid.
"What is this egg for?" Lily came up from behind again, "Eh... why do I think of Doudou when I see the egg now?"
"This is the suppression signal transmitter," the voice of the data terminal was a little helpless, "it can perfectly simulate the signal of the ancestor of life, so that the eldest son can continue to sleep. We can put this on Holletta's eldest son, and then we will Putting a nuclear bomb on it doesn’t even react.”
"What about the rest?"
"Interference pheromones are made from those cell samples and source blood." The data terminal obviously paid more attention to these substances. "Suppressing the signal transmitter is a very problematic thing. Once the signal is interrupted, the eldest son will wake up immediately, but The interference pheromone can be used as a second layer of insurance: it can wake up the 'scavenging mechanism' of the eldest son for a short time, so that it cannot devour the living life."
