Shepherding Humanity (Nurturing Humanity)

digital?

Digital camera?

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, the bully, the King of Fighters, Pokemon, black and white color pixel squares, and then the mosaic.

Digital planet?

How evil is it?

Xu Zhi felt that as a planetary partner, he only returned to his inner world "Six Paths Reincarnation World", and perfected the worldview of several ancient restricted areas, which brought him a new surprise?

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

"Digital?" Xu Zhi asked.

"Digital, maybe you can call it that."

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

"You know, when I created the whole family of cells, it was the culmination of the biological civilization of the Ishdar people. This is a special kind of high-energy-level cell. It's very simple. It's like a clay football. The nucleus, complex structure without DNA, etc. It's just a delicate football structure with endless possibilities."

This is no exception.

After all, the original concept is that "one" means "all", and "all" means "one".

This whole family of cells is itself the ultimate structure of the genetic programming of 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 say is not viewed from the perspective of the current technological level of the Ishdar people. They believe that after ten thousand years, their technological civilization has developed to an incomparably high level. The whole family” structure still has infinite possibilities.

Simpler means infinite possibilities.

Contrasted with some hidden truth.

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

"Yes."

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

Xu Zhi understood this.

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

Caroline explained, "What is the fundamental role of the genetic gene pool of life? We once did the Ishdar genetic engineering project. The wise men of the entire civilization jointly analyzed the spiral structure of tens of billions of gene sequences and discovered that The role of the genetic structure library is mainly that the physiological structure of a life is too complex

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

For example, when a person is injured, only bones are left in that area. On the bone cells, flesh and blood cells and skin tissues that are completely different from their own must be regrown. How can they be born?

Bone cells must store the genes of flesh and blood cells in order to generate flesh and blood cells with a different structure from their own, and repair the body.

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

And what is the whole family of cells?

There is no differentiation of any other cells, only one of the most simple clay cells,

Therefore, there is no need for such a complex gene database, and therefore, without a gene pool, there is no fear of being infected by the Great Unification Virus, which is the strongest virus immune body invented by the Ishdar people. "

Xu Zhi: ? ? ?

He reacted at once.

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

For this deadly zombie virus that destroys your civilization, I never forget, the unification virus is a kind of crack for the genes of this life, and infection is for the genes, and now I have come up with a direct cure. "See how you infect me.

Too cruel!

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

"Back then, the Pillar God Virus couldn't infect the entire planet, so I knew it was a virus nemesis. But it was able to infect No. 18 because she was not a pure family, but an artificial human with other biological DNA cells."

Xu Zhi thought, "The whole family does have infinite possibilities. Maybe the future is really the life structure of the only true God who created the world. Maybe."

After all, what did the ancient Chinese philosophy say?

Chaos is one, all things in life.

Simple clay life cells.

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

In front of them, the whole clan can indeed create all things, and the clay cells can create all kinds of life, although they are essentially only surface clay creatures with shapes.

As for black hair?

It's just clay silk coated with melanin.

Xu Zhi sighed, "So, this digital life now has something to do with the cells of the whole family?"

"Something related."

Caroline's face was calm, she stretched out her hand slightly, and a translucent screen appeared in front of her, "Above, is this evil planet, two hundred years of civilization evolution history."

Whoa!

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

This is a medium-sized planet.

The beautiful white ceramic planet is like a work of art, with a surface area of ​​100 acres. The interior is a precise infuriating meridian structure. The function is also very simple. It can suspend, and emit gravity waves to absorb the creatures on the planet.

Whoa!

Soon, in the picture, a white porcelain god standing on the starry sky gently stretched out his hand, and a large amount of mud and glaciers covered the white porcelain planet. The life of the ecological environment, the plants, began the first reproduction.

The protagonist life on this planet is a simple structure similar to a paramecia. It is half a person tall and wrinkled all over. It does not seem to be very intelligent. It is only similar to the IQ of a seven- or eight-year-old child as an adult.

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

And these as vacuum plants, in the cold and silent vacuum universe, have no atmospheric protection, and have already evolved to have the ability to suck "ice" on the planet to replenish water.

In addition to paramecia, there are also some simple structural animals that belong to beasts, beetles, and small animals, which belong to the lowest level of beast life.

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

Caroline said, "I don't hold out much hope for this planet, because although intelligent life has evolved, the intelligence is really not high, only six or seven years old of a normal child. I believe that even in the past thousand years, It's just a simple primitive civilization planet, at most it can only build houses, wave wooden sticks to resist, and other alien races invade."

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

This is normal.

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

Most of them are such low-intelligence beings, who are put on planets to make up the numbers, and they are the protagonists of the era, but they do not hold much hope.

After all, in the entire universe, there are naturally the most living planets at the bottom.

And the ones who put in the effort are the protagonists of the two eras of Shi Xing and Cybertron.

"And then what?"

Xu Zhi asked.

He lowered his head and looked at this primitive 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, and these paramecia are definitely still paramecia, the lowest life form.

It's not a "Genesis" flow rate.

Could it be that they, these low-level species, will not evolve on their own initiative?

Self-evolution is the ability only possessed by higher intelligent species, embarking on the journey of cultivation and taking the initiative to improve the level of life.

"Later, something special happened."

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

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

Xu Zhi turned to look.

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

Like a fast-forward movie.

With the passage of vicissitudes of life, paramecia and various plants have formed 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. Paramecia has differentiated from pure emerald green into two kinds of creatures, emerald green and dark green.

"The time of 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 would go on like this.

But

Xu Zhi suddenly saw the node of fate.

He clearly saw a paramecia, ripped through the thick soil, entered the "center of the earth", and directly touched the body of the entire clan cell planet.

Then

This paramecia has reached the reproductive stage and can't find a mate, so it lies on the ground and springs against the entire planet

Xu Zhi felt quite normal when he saw this scene, and he didn't have any special emotions. It was like seeing two puppies on the road that were indescribable.

After all, nature has seen a lot of this type. Many animals are like this. It is a normal life response. For example, a teddy who has entered a certain period can also face the air. Have you seen it in the animal world? Even dolphins look for a variety of kayaks or other boats during this period.

But next second.

He died on the spot!

Because he saw many parameciums, all of them could not find a mate because of survival reasons, and imitating this paramecium also began to face the entire planet.

Xu Zhi went on to see that this kind of weird behavior had become a habit of this race, which lasted for more than ten years, until one day, the entire planet suddenly became pregnant.

Planet!

I'm pregnant! !

It gave birth to a tiny ceramic paramecia that hooted and whined.

Ulu Ulu! !

The short and wretched paramecium father shouted, and the insect pheromone sent a signal, and he cried with joy, because he was too weak to find a mate and could not continue his offspring. This is the gift of the earth to him.

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

"U! Ru!—"

Whoa!

A touch of golden sunlight shone down, as if the origin of ancient myths were forever engraved in history.

When Xu Zhi saw this evolutionary history of planetary organisms, his mind was full of thunder, and his whole person was directly cracked.

"Yes. A short period of time is not enough for a creature to evolve significantly, but the miscellaneous glue between creatures is also a way to evolve a new species!"

Caroline also looked solemn, staring at the picture, the little ceramic paramecia, calmly said, "This race, ignorant of their era, has opened a new era, and the murals of history do not 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 tried it with species from other planets. It seems that this case is unique."

"Ultimately, I can only blame it on the fact that this paramecia's genes are very special, it has had some kind of strange chemical reaction with the whole family, and there is a fusion, and it can produce viable normal offspring with the whole family. And the probability is very low. It's hard to imagine that if I try again, there is no chance of success."

The miracle of life.

Xu Zhi also sighed with emotion.

Genetic isolation of the two species is not absolute.

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

"Amazing."

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

Maybe in the future, the 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, it was extremely heavy and had a huge advantage. It began to reproduce continuously. It continued to be intimate with the earth, and used a strange fire totem to perform sacrifices. Make the process very grand.

The era of sacrificial clans was born.

With the descendants of each generation, 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 70 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 genetic sequence structure

What happens when a species loses its genetic structure?

Xu Zhi saw it.

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

Looks are all kinds of mud.

It seems like a little boy, using clay and mud, pinched a bunch of strange creatures, the whole race is not the same.

Ulu!

They roared.

These primitive creatures thought it was the Mother Earth who condemned them. Although they made them stronger, they lost their ego and became deformed. They started crazy rituals and held various peculiar tribal rituals.

"Without the DNA gene, this species has lost its inherent form of life." Xu Zhi's expression became strange, "Descendants, there are all kinds of crooked melons and jujubes, and no one has to pinch their appearance."

Then, something even weirder happened.

Among these ceramic clay parameciums, the "sickness" of the god of the earth's sin is still in many places, and the structure of their round cells has become more and more simplified.

The cells are decreasing like crazy, and the size of the cells is also expanding wildly, and even become cells that can almost be seen by the eyes

also more deformed.

It seemed to be a bunch of big lumps of clay monsters fabricated at will, and the gene chain was completely shattered.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhi was shocked on the spot, "Is this going to return to the ancestors? Organisms have lost the stability of the gene chain, and have degenerated from multicellular organisms to single-celled organisms again?"

But Xu Zhi's worries were unnecessary.

They continue to degenerate and become creatures composed of hundreds of thousands of cells, and they are completely finalized.

Only a hundred thousand cells

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhi felt that the picture was extremely shocking.

Those who do not see cannot understand this visual experience.

You tell the average person that a large creature with only hundreds of thousands of cells is too scary. It is difficult for him to understand, and he will only respond with an "oh" because he can't imagine it.

He did not understand the concept of hundreds of thousands of cells.

You told him again that the cells of a normal Ishdar are about one hundred trillion cells. At this time, there is a comparison. One hundred thousand is only a fraction of the fraction, but it is still unimaginable.

But it was really shocking to see it.

Like a bunch of mosaic creatures, pixel animals, one by one large pixel particles, clearly visible.

Xu Zhi got goosebumps!

What kind of bizarre creature is this?

Caroline was also silent, full of emotion, "You understand now, how wicked? When I thought I was strong enough, this miracle of life brought by nature completely made me feel my own individual life. In this vast universe, how small and ridiculous."

She looked at the low-pixel animal, "In a sense, life is just composed of particles. If we use the pixel resolution of our modern Ishdar people's pictures, the resolution of our human beings is trillions of pixels. Computational high-definition animals require a microscope to see our mosaics, and in front of our eyes.”

She stared at the pixel life in front of her, "In front of us, this monster, in our eyes, seems to be a 1080p pixel from a high latitude, watching a two-dimensional plane creature."

In addition to life being a circle, she also said a fact:

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

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

Caroline continued to broadcast this mysterious creature of the entire planet, and obviously, "degraded" to this point, this is not the end.

These pixel creatures, soon, start a war between themselves.

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

In just 50 years, from spherical pixel cells, large cells began to appear square and octagonal.

Thanks to this inlaid cell block structure, which is comparable to bone cells, they finally stood up.

no longer a mess

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

look at this pixel planet

As if seeing "Minecraft", a bunch of block animals are launching a heroic forest war!
