Chapter 14 In Another Country

I'm so dizzy...

What happened just now?

Who am I?

What are you going to do?

Huo Gu tried his best to recall...

The white flowers on the surface of the water rolled one after another, and the long-necked porcelain bottle-shaped cell clusters rolled and floated in the waves.

The wave is not the culprit of Huo Gu's dizziness, and it knows this.

I don't know how long this drowsy state lasted, and Huo Gu gradually returned to his normal thinking level. At the same time, he also remembered the situation above the water.

The continuous heavy rain, the orange sky, and the lightning from the dark clouds from time to time will tear the dark. The volcanic red lotus industry fire is tit-for-for-tat with the huge waves brought by the strong wind...

These are the scenes that Huo Gu saw on the water.

The most critical point is that the concentration of carbon dioxide is simply explosive. The unprepared cells are combined with water to form carbonic acid by the sudden influx of carbon dioxide into the cells, which seriously affects the normal operation of each cell.

This is the fundamental reason why Huo Gu fell into the drowsiness just now.

But this adventure is not without gain. Just a simple glance like this, Huo Gu got a quite useful information.

This information was so shocking that Huo Gu's thinking paused for a long time before he turned around.

"It seems that I'm on a strange upper planet now."

In that concentrated carbon dioxide environment, if human beings really exist, they will definitely suffocate in less than half an hour.

Huo Gu recalled the volcano he had just seen when he glanced at Jinghong.

"The volcano nearby seems to be a little too active. There is a group of volcanoes under the water. Now you can see so many active volcanoes on the water."

"In the process of coming from the bottom of the sea, I have never seen multicellular organisms, even the simplest algae..."

"Combined with the explosive concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the orange sky, maybe this strange planet is still in the early 'Rainhai Generation Period'."

All this is the conclusion that Hogu assumed that the planet is a similar environment to the earth. After all, this planet, like the earth, has a sea of liquid water, and it does not have more types of planet templates for reference.

The rainy sea generation of the planet is also the stage of the formation of the planet's ocean. The high temperature in the planet evaporates the water that exists in the formation. The water vapor is bound by gravity, forming a dense cumulonimbus cloud, which returns to the ground in the form of rainwater, and then is evaporated again. It keeps circulating like this. The whole planet is like a A huge boiling boiler.

If the planet has enough water, the heavy rain can even last for tens of millions of years.

The long-necked porcelain bottle-shaped cell cluster slid down a distance, away from the noisy water surface.

"Yu Haidai... I didn't expect that I would have the honor to experience such a historic event."

After learning that he had a deeper understanding of his current situation, Huo Gu was not only not depressed because he was in a foreign country, but also faintly a little excited.

For an archaeologist, especially an archaeologist who focuses on the field of alien biology, what can make him more excited than witnessing historical events with his own eyes?

It is because of the oceans formed during the rainy sea era that life is born, at least the earth is like this.

"It's decided. Let's set a small goal first - to set up a global vision network to see every corner of the planet."

The superposition of thirst for knowledge and excitement urged Huo Gu to make such a decision, which led to such an ambitious idea.

If you are still a human, it is indeed just a delusion. After all, personal strength is limited after all.

But now it's different. Huo Gu is a collective, not an individual. It has tens of thousands of cells that obey instructions. Although this power seems to be very small, even ants, as long as they give enough time, even a huge celestial body like the earth can be removed.

Of course, the premise is that there is such a star path that can transfer the mass of celestial bodies to ants.

"But what about the volcano?"

Huo Gu thought of those mountains that spouted fire. They appeared because the pressure inside the planet was too high, and they released core energy in the form of thermal energy.

Liquid lava with a temperature of up to 1200 degrees Celsius is enough to make any protein lose its original activity.

"...The plan of the global coverage observation network can be put on hold for the time being, waiting for the planet to enter the cooling stage. Well, I can afford it anyway."

In Europe during the medieval period of human civilization, someone once asked the question: If the wood on the ship is gradually replaced until all the wood is not the original wood, is this ship still the original ship?

This is the famous 'Ship of Theseus' paradox.

Now, Huo Gu is the ship. It has gained the ability that those emperors have longed for most from ancient times to modern times - 'Immortality'.

As long as the base number of cells is not lower than a certain threshold, it can maintain the current thinking.As long as there is no shortage of substances or all the cells are dead, it can live forever.

Suddenly, Huo Gu's thoughts moved slightly.

"Where does my ability come from?"

Instructions will only be effective when the cells fit into the whole collective - this is something that Huo Gu knew not long after he regained his mind.

That is to say, Huogu's 'instruction' only exists at the micro level, and is at the atomic or molecular level. Once exceeded, the delivery of instruction information cannot be completed, or there is a delay.

"Then the problem comes..."

"If it is not in a fit state, but it is still a whole, will my instructions take effect like this and that?"

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth - this is the life creed that Hogu has always believed in.

With the emergence of doubts, Huo Gu immediately began to experiment.

New cells are split out, which is a primitive single cell that has not been specialized before.

This time, unlike in the past, newborn cells do not actively fit with cell clusters. The connection between them all depends on three short connective proteins.

"Tertranscribe the junction protein and extend the length of the junction protein."

Under Hogu's instructions, the three junction proteins were gradually lengthened, and the experimental cell was also slowly distanced away from the cell cluster under the action of water flow.

After completing the lengthened work, Huo Gu issued new instructions.

"Ttranscribe DNA and start to divide new individuals."

If you start to copy yourself, it means that the instruction is valid.

If not, it means that the information transmission medium of the instruction is not protein.

"Next, let me see what the result is..."
