How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 37: The beginning of the inheritance

   After the special amino acids in the water are absorbed, Hogu derives other types of amino acids and proteins in the water, and prompts the collector to complete the two things of ‘collecting organic materials’ and ‘injecting them into the rhizome system for absorption’.

   After completing these two things, the collector will receive a special amino acid from the rhizome system. Under the temptation of food, the collector will quickly learn this process, even if it has not yet awakened the concept of ‘I’.

   To put it bluntly, it is the animal training skills in the circus, not high-end skills.

   Collectors adjust their cognitions under the induction of Huogu a little bit, and record them in their brains as empirical knowledge, that is, as long as they put strange things on those vine-like structures, they can get delicious food.

Such continuous stocking in the water for a period of time, the collector will understand that only the rhizome system can provide food for it, and then an equation will appear in his mind, the rhizome system is equal to the food being guaranteed, and the rhizome system is destroyed. , Means hunger, so driven by desire, a concept-protection will be derived.

During the whole process, Huogu is closely watching the changes in the brain of the collector. The memory of the collector is learning memory, and theoretically it should not be heritable. Huogu is preparing to transform it into a heritable memory, which requires every newborn The collector knows what to do, which is why it takes so much time and effort.

In addition, Huo Gu also tested the degree of control over the cells of the collector. The result is that there is indeed a decline in control. Although the connection still exists, it has not been completely controlled like a gourd, like being controlled by something. Something weakened.

   A little bit of time passed, and the group of rhizomes climbing towards the seabed finally spread to the edge of the seabed cave and entangled with each other, blocking this seabed cave.

   More than a dozen gourds were made by rhizomes. Under Huogu's instructions, they used the gravel on the seabed to hide the rhizomes that spread to the seabed.

   Then, it attaches to the rhizome, transforms into a cocoon, and breeds itself again.

   Huogu directly overlaid the information of the collectors collected during this period into the inside of the cocoon, allowing the gourd's genes to be expressed in the form of collectors.

   After a short while, the collectors broke out of their shells and became the first macroscopic multicellular organisms to appear on this planet.

   They have the same appearance as the gourd, but they are not the same. They are no longer restricted by the distance of the owner, and are no longer restricted by the life field. They can move freely. They have been upgraded from tools to servants of contractors.

The collectors turned their eyes for unknown reasons, observing this new world that they had never seen before. The vast environment under the sea is different from the narrow'world' in their inherited memory. The inconsistency of reality and memory will inevitably cause them to come into being. A little at a loss.

   However, driven by hunger, they still started collecting in the ocean.

At first, due to the inability to adapt to the body and the marine environment, the collectors struggled to cruise in the sea. Compared with the stable water environment in the underground cavity, the current in the ocean can be regarded as'turbulent', and collectors often There will be accidents where you cannot control the speed and direction and collide with each other.

   Fortunately, the nutrient-rich environment of the ancient times caused the proliferation of microorganisms. Even if it was so procrastinated, organic materials were collected enough to make the collectors barely fill their stomachs.

  Of course, there are also individual collectors with very small collections. They can't adapt to the turbulent environment of the seabed at all. Instead, they hit the seabed reef several times, so Huogu added a lot of organic materials to repair them.

   Just as Huo Gu decided at the beginning, it can't do the unfeeling slave-owner and throw it away. After all, it is working for it. If there is not even a medical aid, it is too unreasonable.

  The collectors who could no longer bear the hunger went to the vicinity of those who were eating and wanted to share a piece of the pie. All the collectors did not have much reaction to this.

   All of them are just like blank paper. There is no concept of public or private, no concept of stealing, and no possessiveness. Therefore, no collector will express opposition.

   Ko Huogu can’t just stand by. The rules are set by it-‘the supply of the collector depends on the amount of organic materials that can be collected’.

   And, if you leave it alone, will there be a ‘slacker’ from gathering here? Specialize in snatching food from other gatherers, just like carnivores above herbivores.

   Huogu, who had concerns, could not just watch these substandard collectors eat the food of other collectors. The rhizome would drive the collectors away and limit its ability to move.

  The collector wants to break free of the restriction of the rhizome, but the rhizome system is really indescribable to it. It is like a baby breaking the wrist with a weightlifting champion. The probability of winning is never higher than zero from the beginning.

   "Weird...what is going on with this weird heartache?"

   Looking at the collectors who were struggling in vain, Huo Gu felt uncomfortable for unknown reasons. He seemed to be hungry when he saw the other person hungry.

   "Commonly felt? Or what other reason?"

   Huogu waved away this feeling a little unpleasantly, and summoned all the collectors who failed to meet the standards~lightnovelpub.net~ to reattach them to the rhizomes and turn them into cocoons.

   is not to recycle resources, but Huogu intends to copy and transfer the experience and memory of the most skilled collectors who are currently collecting work into the brains of these collectors who are completely unable to adapt to the marine environment.

   Although Huogu's authority seems to be weakened, the connection is still there. Collectors are designed by it from the inside out, and it is not difficult for it to copy a memory.

   If there are still non-compliance, then it will consider the option of recycling resources.

   During the collection period, Huo Gu did not forget to pay attention to the movement of the sea surface. If the unidentified body reappears, it will immediately disconnect the rhizome system connected to the seabed, physically.

Soon, the second collection activity began again. The group of collectors who had not been able to adapt to the seabed environment did not disappoint Huogu. They collected a lot more organic materials than other unrefined cocoon collectors, and even more. Finish the collection of materials early and get a good meal.

Of course, there are exceptions. There is a case where the collector after the cocoon failed to meet the standard, but Huogu did not intend to pursue it, because the guy was really unlucky, and was suddenly caught by a strong current in the sea on the way to collect materials. It was an accident that the card couldn't get out of an atoll. More importantly, Huogu, who had passed through inexplicably, found some resonance in the hapless collector.

   This second collection fully illustrates the advantages of Huogu's adjustment of experience memory as a genetic memory. Many collectors know what they should do at birth and how to do it better.

   This is an ability that is completely different from that of earth creatures. The accumulation of experience is like a snowball, which will roll bigger and bigger, and what the end of the snowball is, even a maker like Huogu doesn't know.
