Becoming a creator in prehistory

Chapter 2 Witness the Birth of the Moon

Immortality sounds like a heart-wrenching feeling, but Yuan Chu who got all this was not very happy.

Seeing the whole world fall into absolute stillness under the influence of his consciousness, he felt very bad instead.

This static eternity is like a cage, not much better than the endless cycle of life and death before.

Anyway, he didn't want to stay in such a place where even the wind wouldn't flow.

So, he retracted his consciousness into the fungal body, and everything moved again the next moment.

It seems that only the fungal shell that has also escaped the cycle can carry his consciousness.

Yuan Chu also did not expect that the expedient measure to break the cycle at the beginning has instead become a reliance for his normal activities.

The earth 45.7 billion years ago, he is definitely the first visitor of this era.

It is not easy for ordinary life to survive in this era, just as the body temperature of newborns is much higher than that of adults, and this also applies to the newborn earth.

At this time, the earth is very angry, it is completely a huge lava ball, erupting volcanoes can be seen everywhere, and hot magma flows wantonly, almost filling the surface.

From time to time, a few meteorites will fall from the sky. It is not an exaggeration to say that this scene is hell.

Now Yuan Chu is floating in the sky, while the steaming hot air from the magma on the ground keeps pushing him high into the sky.

Of course, it wouldn't be a big problem even if he fell into the magma, the fungal shell was as immortal as his consciousness.

However, fungi are in a physical form, and energy consumption is unavoidable.

In particular, Yuan Chu's consciousness lived in it, which exacerbated the daily consumption.

If the energy is exhausted, in the end the fungal shell may be as dead as it is, and it will be difficult to even move.

Yuan Chuquan counted on it to function normally, and he naturally didn't want to see this situation.

So, he immediately started to solve the problem of dry food for fungal shells.

First of all, fungi are not plants and cannot perform photosynthesis, and need to take in nutrients from the outside like humans.

Yuan Chu glanced at the ground, there was not even grass around except magma, and he felt a little troubled for a while.

However, when he felt the heat coming from below, he suddenly thought of an idea.

He decided to artificially synthesize melanin in fungi and use the heat released by volcanic lava as an energy source.

The previous scientific research experience came in handy at this time. With the previous knowledge, Yuan Chu successfully synthesized melanin.

Every time the body slowly falls and is pushed up by the heat flow, it is the time for him to take in calories.

Although the energy conversion efficiency is not high, it is better than a steady stream, at least there is no need to worry about the body being out of "power" and completely crashing.

Time passed day by day like this, and one day Yuan Chu noticed that the originally gray sky suddenly became darker.

He originally thought it was caused by too much volcanic ash in the sky, but when he looked at the sky, he found that a huge star occupied the entire sky.

Since he settled on the prehistoric earth, Yuan Chu has seen all kinds of meteorite impacts, and he has become accustomed to them.

However, this was the first time he had seen a meteorite as big as the sky.

The next moment, the behemoth hit the ground straight.

Accompanied by a roar, the meteorite tore through the mantle and embedded itself in the interior of the earth.

The shock wave generated by the impact caused the magma to fly high into the sky, and for a while, the sky rained fire like the doomsday.

"Theia!"

This level of impact, even in the history of the earth for billions of years, is very rare.

Only a visit from the planet Theia could have produced such a cataclysmic spectacle.

In the center of this catastrophe, Yuan Chu was very calm in his heart.

He is eternity itself, and not even a cosmic explosion can destroy him, let alone a mere planetary impact.

However, in order to prevent the fungal shell from going wrong, he still prepared a little backhand symbolically.

I saw that under the interference of his consciousness, grains of spores began to be produced in the fungus.

In case the fungal shell fell into a corner and couldn't get out, the spore clone could continue to carry his consciousness.

When the fifth spore was formed, a sense of hunger that penetrated into the nucleus began to spread in his consciousness, Yuan Chu immediately stopped the production of spores.

Reproductive behavior usually consumes a huge amount of energy, and the efficiency of converting melanin into heat can also maintain daily consumption.

It is a bit difficult to make children without enough food, which is one of the reasons why he has not spread the spores.

However, looking at the only five spores in his body, Yuan Chu was very satisfied. These were enough as an emergency measure.

Then, he used his own consciousness to forcibly interfere with the fungal cell membrane, and opened five small holes like cannon muzzles in it.

The spores were covered with a layer of water film, and when they came into contact with the cell membrane, they were instantly ejected from the gap by the tension of the water, like fired cannonballs.

Driven by the external airflow, the spores scattered and quickly disappeared.

At this time, the hit earth also launched a counterattack.

As a newborn planet, the earth accumulated a huge amount of internal heat when it was born. Even if violent geological activities such as volcanoes flood the surface, it is difficult to completely release the internal heat.

The crack created by this impact has instead become the most effective channel for the heat of the earth's core to vent.

The accumulated heat inside the earth gushed out, instantly blasting the embedded planet Theia into several petals.

Just like the cork of the champagne bottle being lifted off the moment it was opened, some of the wreckage was mixed with fragments, and was pushed back into space by this force.

At this moment, it was like the Star Destroyer weapon in Star Wars was activated.

The aftermath of the heat gave birth to several giant typhoons above magnitude [-], which began to wreak havoc on the earth's surface.

It took nearly a hundred years for this storm of planetary collisions to gradually come to an end.

Although he was at the center of the disaster, Yuan Chu was not harmed as a matter of course.

While flying up and down with the thermal air, he would look at an irregular bright spot in the sky from time to time at night.

Yuan Chu knew that it was the newborn moon, and it was also a witness of this planetary collision, proving that the planet Theia had once visited.

Under the action of the earth's gravity, those scattered planetary fragments will gradually gather, and eventually become the moon as we know it.

It's just that unlike later generations, an inconspicuous spore has also joined it at this moment.

…………

After [-] million years of venting heat, the Earth has finally cooled down.

In some craters or low-lying places, a large amount of turbid liquid has accumulated, and the primitive ocean has begun to take shape.

This marks the end of the first generation of the Hadean Era, and the full opening of the second generation, where the first life on earth will appear.

Having spent a generation alone, nearly [-] million years, Yuan Chu also hoped that the earth would have more vitality.

However, before that, he planned to change his way of life...
