How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 8: Multicellular

   In a boiling liquid that keeps bubbling bubbles, a round creature is drifting along with the wave, riding the flow of liquid, floating in this area.

   "Very good, everyone is doing well."

   "Then we are going to close for the first time now, and the inner cells are ready to divide."

   Following Huogu's order, the openings of the floating cylinder creature in the front and back of the cylinder began to close slowly, as if a multicellular creature was closing its mouth.

"that's good."

   Huo Gu watched the whole process engrossedly. To be honest, he still felt a little nervous.

   This is the first trial operation. Huogu cannot guarantee 100% that there will be no mistakes. Many things are sometimes so unexpected, just like the double-walled cells not long ago.

   "Next, start putting enzymes into the cavity."

   Following the instruction, a large number of enzymes capable of breaking down proteins are produced by the epidermal cells in the inner cavity and put into the liquid in the inner cavity.

  The microorganisms trapped in this cavity, whether it is a virus, a bacteria, or a fungus, are all being decomposed by the spreading enzymes.

   The first thing to be decomposed is the microorganisms such as viruses. Their structure is too simple. The outer shell is a layer of protein, and bacteria and fungi also have a cell wall.

   However, the cell walls of bacteria and fungi will not last long. What they face is a group-level monster. Individual microorganisms like them want to contend with it, which is tantamount to idiotic dreams.

   After another period of time, the microorganisms in the inner cavity were completely decomposed by enzymes. In this solution, only amino acids were left.

   The inner wall of the cavity absorbs, processes, and processes these amino acids, and transmits them to the inner cells. The inner cells then deliver these nourishments to the epidermal cells as the main protection.

   Huogu looked at the whole process with a little relief, except for the opening and closing of the mouth at the beginning, which required it to give instructions, all the other things were done by the cells autonomously, which was considered a big improvement.

After this, Huogu continued with the second and third'feeding' behavior. As far as the result is concerned, they are not much different from the first one, which can perfectly kill the microorganisms and decompose them. Absorbed into amino acids.

   "Then the next step is the manufacture of the vision system."

   After confirming that he would not be threatened with his life for the time being, Huogu put the ‘visual system’ on his agenda.

  Information is extremely important at all times.

   Huogu urgently needs to determine where he is in order to be able to formulate a survival strategy.

   If you want to have eyes, you need the'eyepoint', an organelle that can respond to light.

   However, Huogu currently does not have such organelles.

   "The eye point..."

   "Since I don't have it here, it's better to **** it from other guys."

   "Well, just do it, capture those microorganisms, analyze their genes, and then link them to the original genes."

  Thinking so, Huo Gu started to capture the microorganisms.

   The cylindrical creature's "mouth" slowly opened.

  With the displacement and the flow of the liquid, the microorganisms are sucked into the inner cavity of the cylinder without resistance.

   When the two through channels are completely closed, a large number of enzymes are released. Just as before, a large number of microorganisms are killed by the enzymes.

   But compared with before, there is still a difference. After most of the virus-like microorganisms are killed, the enzymes are just consumed.

   Mistake?

   No, this is not a mistake, all this is developing as planned by Huogu.

   If there are too many enzymes, only amino acids are left in the inner cavity. If there are too few enzymes, the viruses cannot be completely killed, or the crisis like the previous phage may be repeated.

The key is that the amount of enzymes should not be too much or too little. The previous few opening and closing of the mouth are not only for observation, but for the design of this multicellular organism, but also to know whether the virus is full of this kind. How long can it survive in the environment of enzymes?

   When the enzyme is consumed, the fluid in the inner cavity no longer has the function of breaking down proteins.

   Those protein structures that have a connection effect are stretched out, and they stand horizontally in the liquid in the inner cavity. Microbes that are trapped in the inner cavity and scurrying around can easily be captured by these protein structures.

   In this way, Huo Gu can directly observe the captured single-celled organisms from his perspective.

   "Um...this is..."

   is a single-celled organism like a tadpole. The outermost layer is a relatively thick and loose cell wall, which only serves to reduce collisions, but cannot defend against viruses such as bacteriophages, or aggressive bacteria and fungi.

   Then there is the cell membrane. This one is unremarkable. The composition and structure of the cell membrane are basically the same.

   The last is the little tail that keeps wagging, also called flagella. This is the thing that surprises Huogu the most. UU reading www. uukanshu. cm

  With this sample, he can design an external organ that drives the movement of the entire single-cell cluster. In this way, the safety factor will increase a lot.

   At least when you encounter danger, you don't need to worry about running problems.

   "If you put the flagella aside for now, the key is to find single-celled organisms with organelles like ‘eyepoint’."

   Hogu's attention shifted, and he began to look at another single-celled organism captured by the protein structure.

   This time, it is a single-celled organism with a double-layer membrane and no cell wall. Compared with the single cell before, this single-celled organism is much more fragile.

   There is no flagella on the outside, but it did not disappoint Huogu, because inside this cell, there is an organelle that looks like a mitochondria.

   Mitochondria can be said to be the engine of the microscopic biological world. Combining nutrients and oxygen, or other combinations, can realize the conversion of energy forms.

   For example, light energy rotates energy, chemical energy turns light energy, chemical energy turns heat energy... and so on.

   Even if the original suspected mitochondrial organelle does not meet the current needs of Huogu, with this mitochondria as a template, Huogu can completely design a mitochondria that belongs exclusively to single-cell clusters.

   "This is really good, but it's better to let it go first. Finding the eye point of the organelle is the most important thing. It is too dangerous to not observe the surrounding situation."

   The long protein structure oscillates in the inner cavity, like a fishing line thrown by a master fisherman on the water.

  Single-celled organisms were fished out by this thin line one after another. Among them, there are various types of organelles, and there are all kinds of strange things, but the only thing is that no bacteria with'eyepoint' organelles have been found.
