I became a planet

Chapter 4 Survival of the Fittest
Under Guo Sen's control, the weird-looking little reds gradually approached little green who was leisurely eating seaweed.

Only by constantly ingesting nutrients can these guys divide and reproduce, produce more advantageous genes, and thus complete great evolution!
The only way for Xiaohong to absorb nutrients is to eat those little greens.

In the previous observations, Guo Sen also paid special attention to how the carnivorous Xiaohong preyed.

Almost all of them rely on weapons such as spikes, tongs, or giant mouths to hunt. After successfully attacking the prey, they will plunge their mouths like straws into the prey to absorb various substances inside.

Too much pursuit of attack and too slow speed caused by their large size are also their fatal flaws.Guo Sen has observed that generally a little red will start to divide and reproduce when it eats more than four little greens.

These stupid guys are often eaten by their own kind during division and reproduction, which makes the evolution rate appear to be even slower.

This is also the aspect that Guo Sen is eager to change for them.

After all, the speed of evolution is the most important thing.

Compared with Xiaohong, the little greens not only swim faster, but also reproduce faster.

Guo Sen has observed that the number of these little guys seems to be increasing exponentially, which has a lot to do with the excessively luxuriant algae.

Abundant food keeps Xiaolu's population expanding, even if they were preyed on by Xiaohongs before, they have never been eaten up.

Guo Sen started to act, he controlled all Xiaohong to start hunting.

"That's it."

The little reds are more flexible under his control than before.

Like a pack of wolves, the little reds quickly swam close to the little greens who were still immersed in eating seaweed. Then, they deployed their weapons and surrounded the little greens in an instant!
Under Guo Sen's control, their original clumsy movements disappeared.

Fast, steady, accurate, ruthless!

While the little reds were preying on a little green, Guo Sen let go of the control. The little reds were stunned for a second, and then used their own methods to kill and eat up the little green!
The little greens who were lucky enough to escape the clutches of the devil scattered at this time, and some even hid in the seaweed, or went to lurk further away.

If it was put before, it would be very difficult for Xiaohongs to catch Xiaolu and eat them again in such a situation.

After Guo Sen repeated it a few times, he felt that this speed was still a bit slow.

Controlling Xiaohong to eat Xiaolu over and over again is quite a waste of time.

Rather than...

"Don't blame me, this is all for evolution." Guo Sen instantly controlled a bunch of little greens and sent them to the mouths of little reds.

There is no reason not to enjoy it when it comes to your mouth.

The little reds received the big gifts from Guo Sen one after another.

After a while, the little reds suddenly dispersed to a place far apart, and then they all began to split!

In the process of splitting, it was as if someone stabbed them in the middle of their bodies. The two ends stretched and the center retracted, just like a peanut.The inner cell nucleus also gradually divided into two, and finally even the body was completely split!

"Yeah, that's it, keep going." It was the first time for Guo Sen to witness the whole process, and he was very satisfied. This was also the completion of the first split.

The experiment was considered a success.

He checked around, but found that the newly split Xiaohongmen didn't seem to have even a slightly changed individual.

Guo Sen observed that the ordinary little green side also started to divide and reproduce almost at the same time.

Under his intervention, the splitting speed of Little Reds was already faster than that of Little Greens.

Guo Sen knew that he would not succeed so quickly. If he continued to repeat this process, there would always be a little red who could produce a special gene.

In this way, Guo Sen took the trouble to repeat it dozens of times.

However, the strange thing is that the little reds don't talk about evolution, and some even have the meaning of degeneration, with shorter spikes and smaller pincers...

Only the number is steadily increasing.

"Strange, why?"

He was a little puzzled. He thought that with his own intervention, the evolution would be faster, but he didn't expect that apart from the number, they would actually develop in the opposite direction.

Guo Sen looked at another area, the special little greens that were completely in stocking mode at that time.

They are laughing and playing while eating algae, and their numbers are already quite large at this time.

Not being hunted down by Xiaohong, these guys live too leisurely, except for eating, they are constantly dividing and multiplying.

Guo Sen searched around inside, and found a lot of things that were completely different from before.

He picked out a few of them and observed them carefully.

The changes in the few in front of me are actually quite obvious. It may be to grab food faster. The tail has evolved jet holes, and even the flagella has become two. The body is also more cylindrical than before. Much smoother.

The head becomes more pointed, and the overall shape is also spindle-shaped, which provides conditions for their high speed.

However, Guo Sen was even more puzzled at this time.

Xiaohong, who has worked so hard to control, has not changed. How can Xiaolu, who was raised in stock, change?
What is wrong with this?

Guo Sen pondered for quite a long time with doubts.

Unable to figure it out, he turned back to look at the water area where the meteorite first appeared.

As a result, something that surprised him happened!
Whether it's Little Red or Little Green, although the speed is relatively slow, there have been some changes!
There are even some little reds that seem to be much larger than before, and there seem to be more tiny single-celled organisms in the water.

The number of single-celled organisms is larger and more diverse, and they have even expanded the waters they occupy.

This can't help but make Guo Sen even more confused.

It is useless to actively intervene, but the stocking has changed first.

This is simply unreasonable.

Why in the end?

After circling the parent star many times, he kept thinking about this question.

Long thinking to no avail.

When Guo Sen went to see the test subjects again, he found that they had changed again.

Without his control, the selected little reds still hunted clumsily and killed each other as before.

And in the ordinary little greens, like the little greens in other places, some individuals actually started to evolve!

"What's the trouble?"

Guo Sen went to look for the special little greens again to see how they had changed.

It turned out that there were only a few hundred of the special little greens left!

No matter how hard he searched in that water area, he couldn't find much...

"Hey? Where did they go? It turns out there must be at least tens of thousands!"

At first, he thought he had misremembered the location, but he searched the surrounding area up and down, and couldn't find any more.

Guo Sen, who was a little depressed, began to meditate.

He suddenly remembered a story.

There are a group of deer and a group of wolves in a wild animal protection area in a certain country. People killed the wolves to protect the deer, and as a result, the deer herd also began to perish.

Later wolves were reintroduced, and deer herds began to flourish.

Isn't this special Xiaolu's situation the same as that herd of deer?
Without the pressure of competition, after multiplying rapidly, these guys slowly degenerated and went to perish...

Guo Sen began to reflect.

He felt that he had thought too simply at first.

In other words, the concept of "evolution" is underestimated.

Evolution takes longer, and a freer environment.

If the intervention is imposed, it will be counterproductive, resulting in the degradation of the population, or even extinction.

However, without active intervention, their evolution rate is too slow.

Guo Sen thinks that effective intervention should be done properly and scientifically. For this, he must do some comparative experiments at the same time.

Fortunately, before, he had made thousands of extra backups for insurance, which also gave him enough room for mistakes.

"Okay, there is no time to continue regretting, first check the status of all the backups, and then keep trying and trying to find a correct path!"

Thinking so, Guo Sen began to check all the backups around the world.

This process was a bit boring. He tried his best to carefully memorize the characteristics of each single-cell aggregation area, and entered it into his now much more powerful mind.

However, after making such a big circle, Guo Sen also came to a conclusion.

Except for the small part that I experimented with, the rest of the more than two thousand gathering areas are actually pretty much the same.

The reds evolve very slowly, but the greens seem to be faster, and the number of unique individuals gradually increases, even tending to replace the original group.

Guo Sen also understands that this is survival of the fittest.

the laws of nature.

"Then, what I have to do is first use the five ethnic groups as a whole as an experimental field, and make different interventions in turn, and then look at the specific situation!"

Thinking of this, Guo Sen has already returned to the place where life began next to the meteorite.

He looked at the group that had developed and reproduced quite quickly, and he had already made up his mind.
