MTL - 4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution-Chapter 1 Initial cell
Chapter One
cell
Endless, the blue and smooth sea, swept a small figure at high speed.
"Oh, there are no multi-celled creatures, but there are oceans and planets? It’s rare. I don’t know how long it takes to find such a place. Now I can have a 'creator' addiction~ although it’s just Some of the original types of cells of the earth are thrown in..."
This figure has a short blond hair and a cute face. It looks like a little loli. She stops on the sea. She waved her hand and a large piece of water-like objects dripped into the sea.
"And... add a little bit of my knowledge to one of the cells here~ and...conscious~"
"Ah, yes, there is this. If there is only a point of view, isn't that just something that can't be seen? It feels so pitiful. If you have this, you can use the sight of the normal human eye, even if it is single. cell."
She then sprinkled some powdery objects into the sea.
"Shalin, go!"
There was a voice in the sky, let Loli glimpse.
"I know, come!"
Casually, she looked at the ocean again: "So I am leaving, come see you later."
"What do you expect to evolve into something...?"
Said, the little Lolita's body slowly floated up, and then turned into a light, disappeared under the stars of the sky,
................................................
"Where is this? Who am I?"
This is its first thought. It is conscious, tactile, but without vision and smell. It knows that it is in a liquid through its only feeling.
This liquid seems to be called water.
"I...called a cell?"
It has no brain, but it knows what shape its body is. A thin circular film has a complex and precise structure at the center of the film. It is called the core. Because of this core, it can think. , mobile, only have life...
However, its degree of thinking is limited to this, such a small core, can not let it think too much.
"Mobile... looking for..."
It controls the outer layer of the film, and the outer layer suddenly sways like a wave. This action allows it to swim slowly in the water, looking for the only target in the boundless darkness...
food.
Food is equal to energy. If you have energy, you have more knowledge. With a bigger body, you can think more.
Constantly swimming, it suddenly felt what its outer membrane was in contact with.
food?
It tried hard to tell what the object was, but there was nothing after the only message of 'softness', so only by doing so can we better understand what the object is.
Devouring!
It slowly surrounds the object with a film and then swallows it into the film.
It feels that the object slowly shrinks in the body and eventually disappears, and it also feels that its body is slowly changing, and the seemingly fragile film around the body begins to slowly reinforce and swell.
This activity only disappeared after a while, but this incomparable feeling makes it already known...
Just that is food, you have to get more... food!
Quickly swaying the outer film, it quickly hits an object like the one just now, and it swallows it in quickly.
It was the same feeling as before, and the things swallowed into the body were slowly shrinking... It thought of a word this time.
This is called...digestion.
After swallowing two pieces of food in a row, it's a little bigger and more powerful, and its speed is faster, all of which means it can find more food and get more energy.
Devouring, phagocytosis, engulfing.
It almost swallowed up all the things around it as a 'soft', and its body expanded almost a whole circle.
However, it is still not satisfied, still swimming in the water, trying to devour more food.
When the next piece of food is swallowed, its body seems to expand to the limit. After completely digesting the light food again, it does not continue to increase its body shape, but slowly splits with the core as the center, and then completely splits.
It eventually becomes two completely identical individuals with the same circular film, the same core, which is completely divided into two.
However, its consciousness is not divided into two.
Even if it splits into two cells, it still feels like their own body. It can manipulate these two individuals at will, just like controlling their hands.
"What are your hands?"
Its thoughts seem to be enriched, and double nucleus makes it more capable of thinking, but it also has more questions.
"Say, who am I?"
"I should have a name..."
"And the name is..."
"Lin."
I don't know why, it only has this word in mind.
"That's called this, Lin... I feel good."
Lin continued to move forward, and the two cells slowly swim in the water and continue to collect food.
This means higher intelligence, more individuals, more power.
Because Lin is now two cells, it collects food more efficiently and quickly. Soon, it lets one of the cells eat enough food and enters the stage of division.
When this cell is completely split, it is equal to Lin's three individuals, three identical cells, symbolizing the existence of 'Lin'.
Lin can command them completely. Although the three cells are not connected together, it is not more difficult to command them than to command an individual, but it feels more relaxed.
Then, Lynn came up with more questions, it could think more about it, and it quickly found the biggest problem at the moment.
dark.
Yes, it can't observe the surrounding situation. Although it can feel a liquid around, it can't know more detailed conditions...so everything around it is a boundless darkness.
"eye……"
This word appeared in Lin's thoughts, but it could not be further understood.
In order to understand the word, Lin began to try to eat more food, but the surrounding soft food seems to be eaten almost, it is going to swim further afield.
Three small cells, with cells of common consciousness, embarked on a journey...
"?"
Suddenly, Lynn found that the cell in front of it seemed to have something. Unlike the soft food, the thing was very hard, but it was smaller than the previous food.
Unable to analyze what it is, Lin asked one of the cells to swallow the hard thing.
"...it seems impossible to digest."
The hard object is in a cell of Lin, but there is no sign of shrinking at all, but it is quietly floating in the cell membrane.
Seems to be a useless thing?
Lin didn't care so much, and began to look for other foods.
Near the place it found a lot of soft things like the ones before, but no hard objects were found.
Still carrying on the task of engulfing, one of Lin’s cells was once again filled with energy and split.
This time, Lynn has four cells, but it still doesn't feel enough, so it goes on...
By the time the number of cells reached five, Lin’s previous thoughts came out again.
I want to see...
I want to see everything outside! I don't want darkness!
When the idea was strong enough, the core trembled a little bit before eating the hard-filled cells.
In the nucleus, an object like a tentacles is extended, and the hard object is gently touched, and it is slowly pushed to the surface of the cell membrane.
When the hard object is slightly exposed to the cell membrane, the strong light breaks through the darkness and flows into Lin's thoughts.
