Digital?
Digital camera?
That was Xu Zhi's first reaction at the mention of digital.
Then, he inexplicably thought of the red and white video game consoles of the 80s and 90s, The Little Tyrant, King of Fighters, Pokemon, black and white pixel cubes, and then Mosaic.
Digital planet?
Just how strange was that?
Xu Zhi felt that as a partner of the planet, he had just returned to his Inner World, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, perfecting the worldview of a few ancient forbidden areas, and this had already brought him a new surprise?
As for the topic of bringing those fellows over for friendly negotiations and interviews, he instantly ignored it. After all, he had just recovered from the game players of that world.
"Digital?" Xu Zhi asked.
"Digital. Perhaps you can call it that."
Carolyn was indeed a mad life scientist, passionate about life structure modification and genetic engineering.
"You know, when I first created the Cell Race, it was the crystallization of the biological civilization of the Isudal people. This is a special kind of foundational high-energy cell. It is very simple, equivalent to a clay football. It has no cell wall, no cell nucleus, no DNA, and other complex structures … It is just a delicate and precise football structure, with endless possibilities."
This was no exception.
After all, the original concept was that "One" was "Everything", and "Everything" was "One".
The Cell Race itself was the ultimate structure of genetic programming for this group of mad scientists known as the Protoss. They believed that it was theoretically the most perfect basic life programming form.
And why did it have endless possibilities?
It was precisely because its structure was extremely "simple", forming "One", possessing the possibility of "Everything", and having endless futures.
The 'power' they spoke of was not viewed from the current technological level of the Ishudal people. They believed that ten thousand years later, when their technological civilization had developed to an immeasurably profound level, the 'entire race' structure would still have limitless possibilities.
The simpler it was, the more possibilities it had.
It coincided with some sort of hidden logic.
"Digital is related to the Cell Race?" Xu Zhi reacted.
"Yes."
Carolyn smiled. "You know, the Cell Race no longer has a genetic programming spiral structure."
This was something Xu Zhi understood.
Currently, most life forms had a DNA location that stored life coding information. However, the cells of the entire race had been simplified to the point where there were no 'genes'. How could they pass on their lineage, Xu Zhi had no idea …
Carolyn explained. "What is the fundamental use of the gene bank? We once carried out the Ishudal Genetic Engineering Project. All the wise men of the civilization worked together to analyze the spiral structure of tens of billions of genetic sequences and discovered the function of the genetic structure library. The main reason is that the physiological structure of a life form is too complicated …
To differentiate into bone cells, hair cells, blood cells, and all kinds of other precise structures, the amount of data stored was naturally very large.
For example, when a person is injured, there is only bone left in that area. On the bone cells, flesh cells and skin cells that are completely different from one's own would need to be regenerated. How would they be regenerated?
It was necessary to store the genes of the flesh cells in the bone cells. Only then would they be able to produce flesh cells with a different structure from their own to repair the body …
Therefore, almost every cell had the ability to reproduce other hair, bones, and blood cells to form a gene bank. As long as there was a single cell, it was theoretically possible to rebuild an entire person. That was why there was such a complicated database of stored information …
What was a whole race of cells?
There was no differentiation of other cells, only the simplest of clay cells.
Therefore, there was no need for such a complicated genetic database. Therefore, there was no need for a gene bank like this to be unafraid of being infected by the Grand Unification Virus. This is the strongest virus immunity that the Ishudal people had invented. "
Xu Zhi:???
He immediately reacted.
So you guys were still thinking about the Grand Unification Virus?
You guys couldn't forget about this fatal zombie virus that had destroyed your civilization. The Grand Unification Virus targeted the genes of this life form. The infection targeted the genes, and now they had come up with a direct cure. I don't have genetic DNA, I am 'one'. Let's see how you can infect me …
Too ruthless!
At this moment, Xu Zhi finally understood how much technology and intense resentment the Ishudal people had poured into this' whole race 'life structure!
"Back then, when the Pillar God Virus couldn't infect the entire planet, I knew that it was the bane of all viruses … I could infect Number 18 because she wasn't a pure whole race. She was a synthetic human with the DNA of other organisms."
Xu Zhi pondered. "The whole race does indeed possess infinite possibilities. It might really be the life structure of the one and only True God Creator in the future."
After all, what did the ancient Chinese philosophy say?
Chaos was one, and all things were born.
Pure clay life cells …
It seemed simple, but the amount of technology required to achieve this was too great.
The whole race could indeed create all things. Clay cells could create all kinds of life forms, although they were essentially just clay organisms with external appearances.
As for the black hair?
That was just clay silk with melanin.
Xu Zhi sighed. "Then, this digital life form is related to the whole race of cells?"
"Somewhat."
Carolyn's expression was calm. She stretched out her hand slightly, and a translucent screen appeared in front of them. "On it is the evolution history of this evil planet over the past two hundred years."
Whoosh!
The screen showed a planet rising into the sky. It was the first moment of ascension.
This was a medium-sized planet.
It was a snow-white ceramic planet that was as beautiful as a work of art. It had a surface area of a hundred acres, and its interior was an intricate structure of vital energy and meridians. Its function was very simple … to levitate, emit gravity waves, and absorb the organisms on the planet.
Whoosh!
Very soon, a white porcelain God standing in the starry sky gently stretched out his hand, and a large amount of soil and glaciers covered the white porcelain planet. Life and plants that had been prepared long ago and were suitable for the gravity and ecological environment of the planet were thrown over, and the initial reproduction began.
The main life form of this planet was a simple structure similar to paramecium. It was half the height of a human, and its body was wrinkled. It did not seem to have high intelligence, and its adult IQ was only similar to that of a seven- or eight-year-old child.
The trees were all kinds of short shrubs, and there were more than ten types.
As for these vacuum plants, in the cold and lonely vacuum universe, there was no atmosphere to protect them. They had long evolved to the point where they had the ability to absorb "ice" to replenish their moisture.
Other than paramecium, there were some simple animals that were completely beasts, such as beetles and small animals. They belonged to the lowest level of beasts.
"At this point in time, the initial intelligent life forms on this planet were finished," Carolyn said.
Carolyn said, "I don't have much hope for this planet. Although intelligent life has already evolved, its intelligence is not high. It is only the age of a six or seven year old child. I believe that even if a thousand years have passed, it will still be a simple, primitive planet. At most, it will only know how to build houses and fight back with wooden sticks. Other alien races will invade …"
"Indeed, their intelligence was too low," Xu Zhi replied.
This was very normal.
Back when I was making my deductions, I had placed most of my computing power on the "entire species". The other species were all wild, and I would occasionally take a look at them. Although most of them were intelligent life forms of varying levels, there were still very few species with medium or high intelligence.
Most of them were these low-intelligence life forms. They were placed on the planets to make up the numbers and become the main characters of the era, but he did not have much hope.
After all, in the entire universe, the lowest level of life forms were naturally the most common.
And the ones who put in the effort were the two main characters of Planet Stone and Planet Cybertron …
"What happened next?"
Xu Zhi asked.
He lowered his head and looked at the primitive planet of paramecium. It was a very primitive and barbaric forest. There was nothing strange about it.
But generally speaking, this planet would never undergo "species evolution" in two hundred years. These paramecium were definitely still paramecium, the lowest level of life forms.
It was not the "Genesis" time flow.
Could it be that low-level species like them could evolve on their own?
Self-evolution was an ability that only high-level intelligent species possessed. They embarked on the path of cultivation and took the initiative to improve their life level.
"Later on, something special happened …"
"It also exceeded my computing power. Sure enough, the miracle of nature cannot be predicted by calculations. It has infinite possibilities …"
Carolyn's expression became a little strange. She once again controlled the translucent screen to play. "This is the history of their development in the next two hundred years. Take a look yourself."
Xu Zhi turned his head to look.
On the large screen, the entire planet's development history was clearly recorded.
It was as if it was a fast-forward movie.
With the passage of time, the paramecium and various plants formed the ecology of this world. These insects had a very short lifespan, only five or six years, but their reproduction speed was comparable to that of ants.
After more than ten generations in forty years, only some subtle population differentiation had occurred. The paramecium had split from pure emerald green to emerald green and dark green creatures.
"Normal evolution time is too short. After more than a hundred years, the population differentiation and adaptation to the environment will at most lead to a change of 'skin'."
Xu Zhi saw this and felt that life should go on like this.
But …
Xu Zhi suddenly saw a node of fate.
He clearly saw a paramecium dig through the thick soil, enter the "core", and directly contact the body of the planet with all the cells.
Then …
This paramecium reached the reproductive period and could not find a mate. It actually lay on the ground, facing the entire planet …
Xu Zhi felt that this scene was quite normal. He did not have any special emotions. It was like seeing two indescribable puppies on the road.
After all, there were many such species in the natural world. Many animals behaved like this. It was a very normal life reaction. For example, teddy bears could also face the air when they entered a certain period. Have you seen animals in the animal world? Even dolphins during this period would look for various kinds of kayaks or other small boats …
But the next second …
He froze on the spot!
Because he saw many paramecium. Due to survival reasons, they could not find a mate, so they imitated this paramecium and began to face the entire planet.
Next, Xu Zhi saw that this strange behavior became the habit of this species. It lasted for more than a decade until one day, the entire planet suddenly became pregnant …
The planet!
It was pregnant!!
It gave birth to a ceramic paramecium that screamed wildly.
Uluuru!!
The father of the short and wretched paramecium shouted. His insect pheromones sent a signal, and he cried tears of joy. He couldn't find a mate because he was too weak and couldn't reproduce. This was a gift from the earth to him.
He firmly believed that this child was extraordinary. It was the offspring of the entire planet and himself, a great and sacred life. He walked out of the ground and raised the baby high.
"Ulu! Ulu! — — "
Whoosh!
A ray of golden sunlight shone down, as if the origin of the ancient myth was forever engraved in history.
When Xu Zhi saw this history of the evolution of the planet's creatures, his mind was struck by lightning. He felt like his entire body was about to explode.
"Yes … a short period of time is not enough for a species to evolve substantially. However, the mixed glue between the species is also a way to evolve a whole new species!"
Carolyn's expression was also solemn. She stared at the image of the little ceramic paramecium and said calmly, "This species does not know that their era has opened a whole new era, and the historical murals will not remember the glory of this era.
"Even I have to admit that this is a miracle of life. It is difficult to replicate because there is life isolation between species … After that, I tried this many times, but to no avail. I also experimented with species from other planets and found that they could not produce offspring with the entire species. This seems to be the only case.
"In the end, I can only attribute this to the special genes of this paramecium. It produced some strange chemical reaction with the entire species, resulting in a fusion. It can actually produce normal offspring with the entire species … and the probability is unimaginably low. I tried again and again, but there is no chance of success."
The miracle of life …
Xu Zhi also sighed.
The genetic isolation of two species was not absolute.
Tigers and lions had an extremely low probability of giving birth to liger-type beasts, but most of them were incomplete and deformed.
"This is amazing."
He had mastered the ability to evolve, but he could not understand the essence of evolution. The evolution of life was always filled with incredible miracles and futures.
Perhaps in the future, level ten, level eleven? Only when he became a true God of Creation could he 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 carry out sacrifices. The process was extremely grand.
The era of the sacrificial clan was born.
With generations of descendants, their genes were completely close to the genes of the entire species. Their strength became enormous, and their weight increased by more than seventy times. Their structure became extremely simple, and their cells became simple balls.
Like the cells of the entire species, they gradually lost their gene sequence structure …
What would happen when a species lost its gene structure?
Xu Zhi saw it.
These ceramic paramecium lost their original tentacles, skin, and cell structure and gradually turned into a pile of mud. Every member of the species did not have the same appearance and structure.
Their appearance was all kinds of mud …
It was like a little boy casually using clay to make a bunch of strange creatures. The entire species did not have the same appearance.
Uru!
They roared angrily.
These primitive creatures thought that Mother Earth had punished them. Although it made them stronger, they lost their sense of self and became deformed. They began to worship crazily and held all kinds of strange tribal rituals.
"Without DNA genes, this species has lost the inherent form of life." Xu Zhi's expression became strange. "There are all kinds of ugly descendants, no one to mold them … There are all kinds of appearances."
Then, something even stranger happened.
In these ceramic clay paramecium, the "disease" of Mother Earth's punishment was still spreading. The structure of their circular cells became more and more simplified.
The cells were decreasing rapidly, and the size of the cells was also expanding rapidly at the same time. They even became cells that could be seen with the naked eye …
They were also becoming more and more deformed.
They were like lumps of clay mud monsters that were randomly made. The gene chain had completely collapsed.
Xu Zhi saw this scene and was shocked. "Are they returning to their ancestry? The creatures have lost the stability of the gene chain and degenerated from a multicellular organism to a unicellular organism? "
However, Xu Zhi's worry was unnecessary.
They continued to degenerate and became creatures made up of hundreds of thousands of cells. Then, they were completely fixed.
Only hundreds of thousands of cells …
When Xu Zhi saw this scene, he felt that the scene was extremely shocking.
Those who did not see it could not understand this visual feeling.
To an ordinary person, a large creature with only hundreds of thousands of cells was too frightening. It was difficult for him to understand. He would only respond with an "oh" because he could not imagine it.
He did not understand the concept of hundreds of thousands of cells.
Then, to him, a normal Isudal person's cells were about a hundred trillion cells. At this time, there was a comparison. Hundreds of thousands was just a fraction of a fraction, but it was still unimaginable.
But when he saw it, he was shocked.
It was like a bunch of mosaic creatures, pixel animals, each large pixel particle was clearly visible …
Xu Zhi had goosebumps!
What kind of strange creature was this?
Carolyn was silent for a while and was full of emotions. "Now you understand how strange it is, right? When I thought I was strong enough, this miracle of life brought by nature made me feel how small and laughable my individual life is in this vast universe. "
She looked at the low pixel animal. "In a sense, life is just made up of particles. If we use the pixel resolution of the modern Isudal people, we humans are high-definition animals calculated by trillions of pixels. We need a microscope to see our mosaic, and in front of us …"
She stared at the pixel life before her. "And in front of us, this monster, in our eyes, is like a 1080p pixel … looking at a two-dimensional creature from a high latitude."
Other than the fact that life was a circle, she also mentioned another fact.
— — The essence of the world was originally pixels made up of particles.
"The evolution of life is always full of mysteries and unknowns."
Carolyn continued to play this mysterious creature of the entire planet. Obviously, this was not the end of the 'degeneration'.
These pixel life soon began to fight among themselves.
At the same time, with a few generations of evolution, they quickly got rid of the spherical cells. This was because the spherical cells were too soft and did not have a strong inlay ability, so they quickly abandoned them.
In a short fifty years, the spherical pixel cells began to form the shape of large cells, such as squares and octagons.
Thanks to this inlay cell cube structure, the hardness was comparable to bone cells, and they finally stood up …
They were no longer lumps of mud …
In Xu Zhi's eyes, it was like the passage of time. He saw pixel mosaic animals fighting each other, and even the trees were made up of pixel cubes.
Looking at this pixel planet …
It was as if he saw Minecraft, a bunch of cube animals waging a heroic forest war!
