How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 183: ***

   In terms of self-production ability, the collector also possesses it, but that is a photosynthetic gene blueprint. Although the internal principle does not rely on chloroplasts for photosynthesis, it is essentially the same as the earth's plants.

   But the problem is that this gene can't perform its original function, because the dense atmosphere of the planet at this time, the illuminance is quite low.

   At present, the collectors have only one option left-editing genes.

   This is also the first test given to them by Huogu, not only to test their overall ability to handle things, but also to test their application of technology.

After establishing the action strategy, an individual was selected as the target of genetic modification, and the other collectors each looked for a safe place, lay down, and with the help of the ability to gradually put the body into a semi-dormant state-this can maximize savings The energy consumed by the body.

  The same is true for the collectors who are undergoing genetic modification, lying on the volcanic rock formations, relaxing to the utmost extent, seems to be no different from other collectors.

   If you want to observe the changes, you need to zoom in to the micro level to examine what is happening from the cellular perspective.

Using enzymes, a special organic compound, to realize the process of [unwinding-recombination-recombination], gene cutting and docking, the means of collectors are more cumbersome than those of Huogu, because Huogu has a special ability to absolutely dominate cells. Ability, but the collectors do not, their body dominance ability does not extend to the inside of the cell, it needs to spend more time and energy to complete.

  This stage of no response will continue until the autotrophic cells that are most suitable for the current environment are cut out, and then it will move on to the next step.

This new stage requires all collectors to participate. This stage is [designing the overall structure-screening the optimal biological template-re-encrypting the gene]. This is quite complicated. It is different from the previous trivia. If the gene comparison is a copywriting, then the trimming of the gene by the collector was at most equivalent to cutting and pasting the article, but now, the entire article is completely overturned, which requires an extremely large amount of information to be considered. , It’s not a job that a small collector can do.

   In order to facilitate the understanding, take the article as an example. If you put it down again-how to write the outline? How should I write the outline?

   How to start the overall structure layout? What about reading comfort? And so on.

Due to the influence of Huogu’s design concept, the collectors quickly decided on a template. This template is Huogu’s rhizome template, but not all. The shape is close to the spider web on the flat ground, and the skin is not Those extremely tough and tempered ultra-fiber skins have temperature-sensing cells independently developed by collectors.

   The internal structure has also changed. Neurons are connected to those temperature-sensitive cells, and they obtain trace currents from temperature fluctuations to drive micro-scale amino acid cells to process and produce nutrients needed by collectors.

The shape and function have been determined, and then they are interpreted in a genetic way. In fact, genes are very similar to compressed packages in computers. Genes are dehydrated and condensed through sugars, and compressed packages are through algorithms, but in essence The above is the same, all readable information is compressed for easy storage.

   When genes are ‘decompressed’, they are essentially the organisms designed in the blueprint. The recessiveness and dominance of genes are equivalent to ‘yes’ or ‘no’, which is also very similar to computer intelligence programs.

  For example, whether this type of cell can grow in this part is recessive, and it will not grow, making room for other types of cells to grow.

   At this time, another type of cell is dominant and will continue to grow. This is the most obvious epidermal cell performance. Why are other cells under the envelope of epidermal cells? This is because when other cells are recessive, the epidermal cells are still dominant.

The body of the collector as a trimming gene began to move up and down in a regular manner. Gradually, from the shape of a crawling organism with its limbs, it became a giant sphere embryo. The only thing that remained unchanged was that it expanded and contracted. Regular exercise.

   Perpetuality did not enter the semi-dormant state, but stationed near the embryo of the sphere. It should be used as insurance to prevent accidents.

"what are you going to do?"

   After not knowing how much time passed, I continued to see a gatherer approaching it slightly tremblingly.

   "Hungry...I'm hungry...Is it okay..."

   The collector stared at the perpetual eagerly, and pointed at the bulbous embryo with his limbs.

   The overall transformation of genetic modification took longer than the collectors expected, which created the current deviation.

   "No, keep waiting."

   "Take this one."

Apart from anything else, he cut off one of his own limbs forever and pushed them to the hungry comrades. The collector did not have too much nonsense. He did not hesitate to eat this limb and lay down on the spot. Enter the semi-sleep state.

   But this does not solve the problem. As time goes by, more and more collectors move from their positions to the vicinity of the spherical embryo~lightnovelpub.net~, hoping to get nutrients immediately after the embryo is completed.

   "Think, tell me why this happens?"

At this time, sustainability is almost unbearable. It can survive until now, all relying on its unshakable thinking, but this also has its limits. If there will be starving people among the collectors, then sustainability It's definitely the first one, it hasn't even entered the semi-sleep state.

   "A certain link does not match what we know, causing a deviation in the planned time."

   "What link is it?"

   "Insufficient nutrients."

  Si simply replied to this message, which means-the current lack of nutrients, there are not so many resources to find out where the problem is.

  Thinking about the sustainable nutrients is further reduced.

"still how long to wait?"

   Inquired again forever, but the reply was...

"do not know."

   was silent for a while, and continued to send information directly to all the same race in the life field channel.

   "Break limbs, to provide nutrients to the same clan. If you can hold it for one second, you can hold it for another second. If necessary, you can sacrifice yourself as a nutrient."

  According to the instructions, the collectors disconnected their limbs from the perpetual way, and gave nourishment to the collectors who had already half-footed into death.

  Time continues to pass. Since there is no sun and moon, the eternity does not know how long it has passed, but it can clearly feel that its thinking has become dull.

   It’s been a long time since I felt this kind of feeling. I still remember the last time I felt this kind of feeling, and I still don’t know how many years ago the ice age.

   "Is this the end?"

  Perpetual can't help asking myself like that.

   Just when its consciousness is about to completely enter the blur, a segment of the amputated limb is pushed into its field of vision...
