Spore Story

Chapter 10 Time
"How long have I been traveling?"

[Are you sure you want to know?System No. 8051 is more worried about the reaction of the main consciousness after knowing the facts. 】

"..."

"Your tone, doesn't it sound like you're telling me, 'keep asking'." Kong Huan felt a bunch of black lines floating in his consciousness...

"Wait, it's so difficult that there's something wrong."

"Um--?"

"Forget it, I can't think of what the question is. Answer me, 8051."

[Well, you will know sooner or later.Counting from the time you arrived in this universe; you have experienced reaching the present planet and becoming a small cell, and at this time the planet just began to appear single-celled life forms; until now you have discovered multi-cellular life forms and entered this space to ask me this question.Time has passed, and the total is about 3701 million years. System No. 8051 replied briefly, and at the same time, it was expecting the response of the main consciousness. 】

"..."

【…】

"Hehe, it seems that 8051's time unit is very precise."

"a ha ha ha."

[Although it should be considered detailed, 8051 believes that there is a gap between what the main consciousness says and what 8051 thinks, and 8051 expresses its thoughts truthfully. 】

"One second of our earth, you have to divide it into tens of thousands of years. Hahaha, it is indeed the management office."

【…】

"Well, let's pretend you're right, but even if I can't feel the exact time now, it probably won't last more than half a year."

"How could there be such a thing as hundreds of millions of years?"

"Even if it's just a snap of the fingers, the sea will change."

"Well, now I don't have fingers."

"Ah! I'm confused."

"8051. Explain, I need an explanation."

[The calculation time of the system in the face of the main consciousness of the traveler, before the biological race controlled by the main consciousness of the traveler enters civilization and further invents the calendar, it ignores the environment of the planet and takes the original time-space civilization calendar of the traveler as the benchmark. 】

[For the issue of the self-feeling of the traversers, in the early stage, it was to protect the fragile spirit of the traversers in the early stage, and to maintain the stability of natural evolution.Under the favorable conditions of initial thinking limitation, the time flow felt by the traverser is not equal to the actual time flow.Due to the current comprehension ability of the traveler, more high-end knowledge about time, so I won't say much here.System No. 8051 answer]

"So it is!"

"I don't understand at all."

【…】

"In other words, I am an old monster of hundreds of millions of years. 8051"

[In a sense, yes, system number 8051 answered truthfully. 】

"By the way! 8051, could it be that the time I've stayed in this space is also variable? Could it be that a few hundred thousand years have just passed?"

[The biological editing space is at a standstill relative to the actual time flow of the outside world at this stage.System No. 8051 replied, and at the same time, it was looking forward to the further reaction of the main consciousness. 】

"Oh, luckily."

"However, I think it's better for you to look forward to further reactions."

After lamenting the passage of time for a while, Kong Huan selectively ignored it again. (It's really a useful ability, but it's actually evasion, evasion.)
"Anyway, I don't feel anything, and I can't do anything about it."

"And judging by the current situation, I can be regarded as immortal. Hehe, I am luckier than many other time-traveling seniors. Ignore anything else."

With this in mind, Kong Huan once again focused his attention on stereoscopic images.Let the 8051 who doesn't know where it exists be slightly disappointed.

"The main thing is to develop and evolve quickly."

"Other things are just thinking about it, which affects my thinking. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it is to say it."

Small cell

Primitive single-celled organisms, species at the beginning of biological evolution.

Life: 4/4
Attack: 0
Speed: 2
Nutritional value: 49
Body DNA components: primitive cell mouth hook, cilia*2
As the main consciousness of a group, it is also a single-celled organism that has evolved a little.Although leading more and more of the same kind makes you feel safer.But due to low control and the demise of the same kind, your pears have grown uncontrollably again, which is a tragedy.When confronting multicellular organisms for the first time, becoming a multicellular organism that can bully single-celled organisms is your goal now.

】

"Nutritional value: 49"

Open the component display box smoothly (tentacle?) and review the description of the electrode component.

"Cost: 50 (nutritional value) (insufficient nutritional value, cannot be equipped)"

"You play with me, I rely on it."

"My poor heart, where are you. Give us a heart attack."

"Why do I feel that I am constantly being stimulated from time-traveling to now?"

……

"Forget it, this is the situation now. It's better to equip the low-end spike components first. The high-end electrode components should be considered after a certain degree of safety and the number of groups."

"Isn't there a saying that is very good, 'Don't be the most advanced, just the most suitable.'"

【

Spikes
Compresses the flesh, attacking the enemy's components through the tip

Attack: 1
Cost: 15 (nutritional value) (equipment can be purchased)

】

"It's not very cheap."

"Forget it, it's better than nothing."

While thinking about it, Kong Huan used the tentacle of consciousness (well, it looks like a tentacle monster) to drag two spike components in the display frame and place them on the three-dimensional image.Slowly adjust its position so that the two spikes and small cells form a small angled "Y".In this way, the small cell looks like it has two horns on the front.

Well, it is actually two corners.

"Staring" at the adjusted three-dimensional image, Kong Huan first imagined his action scene in his consciousness, and then "looked" at the remaining 19 nutrition points.

"Just add another cilia, the higher the speed when sprinting and attacking, the greater the lethality."

"Of course, you have to run faster. Otherwise, when the group encounters dangerous multi-cells, they will know that the spikes are useless after seeing the encounter of the spiked cells. What is needed at that time is speed, the speed of retreat."

"No, it's the transfer speed, um."

Being ruthless, Kong Huan spent another 10 points to install a cilia on the back.

Looking at the freshly baked small cells with satisfaction, Void feels pretty good, at least it has a certain attack power, and the three cilia also provide faster speed.

Relying on one's perception of using the diffusion of the ethnic group, food and life should be more guaranteed.

However, when he thought of the spiky cells all over his body (the ugly little chubby children's shoes) being crushed by that split-mouthed multicellular creature, he just had a smug illusion and then went cold.

"Tch, when it evolves into a multicellular organism in the future, I must kill that nasty guy once."

"It's the hatred of this body, yes."

【

Small cell

A slightly evolved primitive single-celled organism, a species at the beginning of biological evolution.

Life: 7/7
Attack: 2
Speed: 3
Nutritional value: 9
Body DNA components: primitive cell mouth hook, cilia*3, spikes*2
Ya pear has become smaller, gratifying and congratulations.With two thorns growing, the enemy seems to be nothing to fear, this is what you think.Indeed, in a single cell, you can be considered powerful.However, what you need to know is that the era of multicellularity is approaching, and you are still single-celled, and this is the reality you are facing now.

】

"I know that too, but the road has to be explained step by step."

Replied to the comments a little bit, I feel that the modification is almost unreal, and the name in the pop-up naming box has not been changed.Just select Done.

"How many years will it be since the next time you come in?"

"One hundred million years? Two hundred million years? Or..."

The dark space fell silent again.

[Complete biological editing, the main consciousness enters the small cell]

[Consume 5 nutritional points for evolution splitting]

[Warning, your nutritional value is lower than the safe value of 6, please supplement your nutrition as soon as possible]

Division occurs again, and in a blink of an eye, one small cell of the old version 1.0 becomes two small cells of the new version 1.1.Let me get used to the emptiness of the long birth of human beings in October, and I feel a burst of emotion.

In the dark waters, three small cells slowly swim around the small cell in the middle.

Slowly, the three peripheral cells began to make the same movements: moving forward together; turning together; accelerating together.However, it can be clearly seen that the small cells that have evolved are much faster and more flexible than the two small cells that have not evolved.

Then, the three small cells swam back to the main consciousness small cell together.

"First one."

At this time, one of the small evolved cells began to break away from the team, gradually accelerated, and then swam in an S shape, circled around the periphery, and then rushed towards the inside like a sprint.The two spikes at the front add a "murderous look" under the high-speed drive.Just when it was about to approach the small cell inside, this small cell slowly stopped.

"Try two."

Slowly swimming inward, the two small cells that have not yet evolved, started to make different movements at the same time after this small cell stopped.Sometimes they cross forward; sometimes they move fast and slow; sometimes one is in the center and the other swims around its outer circle, etc.Then, the two small cells returned to the main consciousness small cell again.

"Increase the number, three more."

The evolved small cell and the two non-evolved small cells perform different actions at the same time again.But this time, you can see that their movements are obviously not as agile as the previous few times.

Well, although for single-celled them, there is not much difference.

However, there are some differences after all.

Slowly return to the side of the main consciousness small cell that did not move after the three small cells started different actions.Three small cells spread out around the main cell again.At this time, some small cells that looked like they were in a frozen state just moved the three cilia behind them as if recovering.

Shaking the cilia to swim forward, the small cell swam to the two companions that did not evolve.As if accepting an order, the two small cells stopped, and then swam "happily" again.

"Those who have not evolved begin to accumulate nutritional value to complete evolutionary division."

"With myself, we can only control no more than three at the same time."

The small cells shake the outer membrane, swimming and integrating a few small cells.

"Well, what are three?"

"Now the goal is more nutritional value."

"food."

Thinking about it this way, the small cell leads its companions, with itself at the center, followed by two small cells that have not evolved, and the other small cell that has evolved swims ahead, paying attention to the world it perceives, while looking towards the unknown world ahead. Space travel.

—————————Small cells lead the team passing by—————————

Unknown time sneaked past some distance again.

The space that used to be extremely quiet is still very quiet now. (Well, because the small cells have no sense of hearing. System prompts act on consciousness.)
However, all kinds of single-celled organisms began to appear in large numbers, and it is not known where they emerged.

In the dark space, the small pillars are slowly drifting towards a piece of floating organic matter in front of them.Of course it is not called Xiaozhuzi because it is a eunuch, even if it wants to become a eunuch, it will take hundreds of millions of years before it becomes him.

Well, the reason is its cylindrical body.

Through the weak water flow, the cylindrical body of the small pillar slowly approached the food.

However, it seems that he didn't read the almanac when he went out, so it seems that his luck is not very good today.Just before the mouth groove was about to touch the food, a sense of danger suddenly filled the whole body (the surrounding water flow was abnormal).I don't have time to observe the source of my sense of danger (well, I can't observe without sensory organs).Following the reaction of his own body, he saw that the middle of the plump cylindrical body of the small pillar suddenly became smaller.At the same time, a stream of water spurted out from one side of the cylinder, and then the body of the small pillar rushed forward like a rocket.

escaped?
Not yet.

It seems that the bad luck of the small pillar has not left, and another single cell appeared in front of it.On the other side facing the small pillar, two protruding spikes seemed to be emitting a sharp cold light, waiting for the small pillar to arrive.

You can't escape.

Just when the small cell on the opposite side thought that this fast-moving cylindrical cell was about to become the first guy known to hit the spike and die, the rushing cylindrical cell miraculously twisted a little The bucket becomes the thin waist of the toothpick.Then, it narrowly and dangerously brushed against the sharp front end that was still standing proudly.

escaped!
Therefore, fortunately, there is no small pillar left in history.It came gently, then walked quickly, shaking its slender waist, leaving behind a long trail of water and a group of small cells standing still, some dregs left in the trail were floating quietly, silently It tells the story of its owner not long ago.

"..."

"Good skill!"

"Hey, what is skill?"

"Well, let's ignore this question as usual."

"Well, what is the custom?"

"Continue with routine."

……

Shaking the three cilia, slowly shaking the lower outer membrane, the small cells that seem to be stuck in an endless loop of thinking, stood still for a while, and then swam to the front with the five soy sauce dogs behind. The three main attacking poor little cells.Especially the small cell in charge of intercepting it further ahead, it still has two spikes standing upright, it seems that it is still waiting for the small pillar that has escaped to return to this place and hit it.

Since it is only possible to control three companions to perform different actions at a time, in order to control flexibly, this time the main consciousness small cell only allowed three small cells to participate in the siege of this cylindrical water-spraying cell that was accidentally discovered not long ago. .

However, look at the current situation.

The mission failed.

"Well, it's nothing. It's not like I failed."

Summon the three companions in front to swim back, and the small cell itself swims towards the small pillar to eat the organic matter that it has not eaten.

"At least I robbed you of food, so I didn't suffer. Hmph."

Thinking in this way, the small cell lazily shook the three cilia behind it.

Although the speed is already higher than most single-celled organisms, in front of the water-spraying cells equipped with jet-like power, the small cells that also use clean energy and three-axis drive can only catch up.

However, it seems that today's small cell seems to have gone out without looking at the almanac, so luck is not very good.

Just before its mouth groove was about to touch the piece of food.Although the movements were slack, the vigilance of the small cells did not relax, and the speed of the surrounding water began to increase abnormally.

Resolutely giving up the food in front of him, the small cell immediately directed his restless companions to swim in the opposite direction of the current.The previous piece of food quickly disappeared into the dark shadow behind along the water flow.

The water flow is unusually quick to come and go.

Soon, the restless water flow returned to its former calm.After the small cells led the group to continue swimming forward for a certain distance, they turned to the side and swam again for a while before slowly slowing down.

The small cell that stopped turned around to face the previous shadow.

Although the small cells realize that their own perception is much larger than other single cells, and at the same time it is an all-round mental perception, but the consciousness still retains some human habits, so the perception of the front is always much more accurate.

Although the distance of the shadow in front has exceeded the range of perception, the small cell, or the main consciousness can feel that there is a giant (compared to the small cell) swimming there.
