MTL - This is How the Heavens and the Worlds Come-Chapter 2 evolution frenzy
In the petri dish, ten minutes passed, converted into the time of the petri dish, about 30,000 years passed, and his lifespan was reduced by another twenty minutes.
Under such a terrifying flow of time, a shocking change occurred in the petri dish.
Under the observation of the microscope, Yang Shou could clearly see that after 30,000 years, a strange species suddenly bred in the garbage soil.
Because it is taken from the earth's soil, the soil originally had the genes and cells of the earth's species, but after three thousand years, these cells consumed the organic matter in the soil and suddenly faced the crisis of lack of food.
The energy of all things is conserved. If there is no food, one will starve to death. A new round of natural selection has begun.
Most of the cells were starved to death, and a small number of cells chose to sleep, closing their cell walls and cell membranes, waiting for the day when the environment recovered.
But even if it is deep sleep, it still consumes energy, even if it is extremely low.
After 10,000 years, ninety-nine percent of the cell walls of sleeping cells begin to dry out and die.
But the miracle of life still happened. The survival instinct allowed these cells to start self-transformation and evolution.
They gave up the structure of the cell wall and chose to transform the cell wall into an organ that specializes in absorbing small molecules free in the air for a living.
Yang Shou didn't close the petri dishes. They relied on this function to survive without food.
10,000 years later, the entire petri dish is filled with this new type of cells.
They reproduce rapidly, but even if the air circulates outside the petri dish, the free substances in the air are not enough to support the uncontrolled reproduction of this cell.
The development of cells fell into a bottleneck period of 10,000 years, and when Yang Shou took up the microscope to observe, just 30,000 years had passed.
In the 30,000th year, in order to obtain more food and expand the race, this group of cells even tried to evolve legs, move their positions, and actively search for food.
It may be that the obsession with obtaining food is too strong, and they have evolved to have sixteen legs!
"A centipede? Aren't these the cells of a centipede on Earth?"
Yang Shou frowned, every cell grew a fluffy calf, squirming frantically, from the garbage soil, some ran to the land, and some ran to the ocean.
Using a microscope, Yang Shou saw that the cells in the accelerated state moved rapidly, and the death of each generation of cells allowed them to divide into two parts and settle on land and sea.
"The ocean is the cradle of life, and cells on land have chosen a wrong path."
Yang Shou also focused on the observation of the ocean. Those cells who had left their hometowns and left the garbage dump encountered another demise in the ocean.
Even if there is no concept of breathing, they will not drown, but most of them die due to excessive water absorption and swelling.
The extinction of a new species has begun, and less than 10% of the cells have survived, continuing a new round of adaptation to the environment and continuous evolution.
In seawater, food is abundant, and in the 40,000th year, marine cells multiply like crazy, filling the entire ocean.
And terrestrial cells, because they found new food, also became land overlords.
The fluff on the legs of the marine cells is green, so the whole ocean becomes the color of forgiveness.
In order to adapt to the marine environment, the physique of marine cells has softened and the defense power has declined, but correspondingly, the efficiency of food absorption and utilization has become much higher.
On the contrary, terrestrial cells have improved defense and evolved a hard case to cope with the complex terrain environment on land.
In the 300,000th year of the evolution of the petri dish, marine cells finally ushered in a great change.
A small number of cells fused by chance, and the leg hairs of dozens of marine cells fuse with each other, intertwining them tightly.
After countless fusions and deaths, a new type of creature, the leg worm, has finally evolved.
Because the sixteen legs were fused, the creatures that survived the fittest had only one leg, and the fluff chimera, and the new creature formed was full of legs.
"A new type of cell was born."
Yang Shou was a little surprised that this kind of "ancient creature" was born under his own witness.
If the cells of the previous sixteen legs still have the shadows and genes of the earth creatures, slow down the current legworms, after 300,000 years of evolution, has become an independent "alien species"----- Petri dish species.
With the evolution of 300,000 years, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are alien species, and they are very different from earth species in internal structure and external structure.
"The production of compound biological legworms, what is the direction of their development next?"
Ocean cells have legs that can eat and walk, but they are still facing a food crisis. If they want to evolve again, they must obtain more food.
The air and the ocean are not enough to support them to obtain more food, so the core of these legworm cells begins to switch, abandoning the animal-type feeding method, and imitating plants and starting to generate chloroplast-like substances for photosynthesis, imitating plants from Get nutrients from sunlight.
Gradually, the entire ocean was filled with a green plant that could wiggle its body, swim in the ocean, forage for food, and perform photosynthesis—Cordyceps sinensis.
"It's self-sufficient with oxygen, and it's time to completely isolate the petri dish to prevent the entry of Earth air."
Yang Shou completely sealed the petri dish, artificially created a world different from the earth's environment, and continued to observe their development.
If they don't do this, the earth's civilization will have too much influence on them.
What he wants is the evolution of a different species, so that it is possible to evolve a civilized path that can cure his cancer.
Moreover, he has been using the time acceleration ability, which will reduce his lifespan to half of the previous one, that is, he will find a way to solve the cancer problem within a month and a half.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Shou continued to observe. Two hours have passed, which is the 360,000th year of the Petri dish world.
The Cordyceps sinensis, which occupied the ocean, was not satisfied with the ocean, and tried to invade the land, starting a battle for survival with another group of compatriots more than 300,000 years ago.
Leg Cordyceps can't break the tortoise shell of the land cell, and the land cell has sixteen legs, which move very fast.
The hard carapace was in charge of defense, and the sixteen legs were in charge of offense. In an instant, the leg Cordyceps began to rout.
But with the passage of time, with the number of wildly developed, Cordyceps sinensis made up for the gap in quality with quantity, and the terrestrial cells were abruptly ground to death.
No way, terrestrial cells reproduce too slowly because of food, while Cordyceps spp. rely on photosynthesis and can reproduce indefinitely.
At this point, the petri dish has entered the era of Cordyceps sinensis, and Cordyceps sinensis has become the protagonist of this era, a well-deserved overlord, and has a tendency to spread towards the glass wall around the petri dish, trying to climb out of the petri dish.
Is this worth it?
Yang Shou silently took a pot of boiling water, made a small hole in the petri dish, and flooded the entire petri dish.
The era of Cordyceps sinensis is over.
"History says: "Shen Cao Ji, Cordyceps legs are boundless, spreading all over the world, and even found an invisible ladder leading to the realm of the gods, trying to climb to the sky in vain.
Yang Shou took out his notebook and recorded this short-lived era.
Really, this race is too inflated, with legs, occupying the land, and wanting to go to heaven?
It's okay to let you escape. The ghost knows whether it will have any butterfly effect on the earth's environment.
Definitely not allowed!
Yang Shou observed silently, waiting for the next evolution of the species.
380,000 years ago, with the demise of Cordyceps sinensis, the next species was born, a kind of legged, invertebrate reptile was born in countless legs Cordyceps sinensis and boiling water, they were born with high temperature resistance, six legs, fusion The hard shell of terrestrial ancient cells began, and the mighty road of exploring the world began.
"Animals, finally there are animals!"
The appearance of animals requires sufficient food and other survival foundations, and the endless corpses of Cordyceps sinensis are their best breeding grounds.
"You guys really have to thank Cordyceps legumes."
Yang Shou took a deep breath and named this four-legged, hard-shelled creature the Plate Worm.
Having no spine means having no emotions and consciousness, and there is still a long way to go before intelligent creatures.
But Yang Shou is already very satisfied. Watching species evolve and go extinct, in just two hours, the evolution of more than 300,000 years, compared to the short hundred years of human beings, he has witnessed too much splendor.
"In a long time, I will definitely be able to find a way to live."
He still has 1.9 billion years!
Petri dish, because of the legacy of Cordyceps legumes, began to enter the era of biological explosion.
All kinds of creatures have begun to evolve in diversity. The aquatic and terrestrial plants have inherited the photosynthesis of Cordyceps sinensis and spread throughout the Petri dish continent.
All kinds of invertebrate creatures were born in every corner of the petri dish. Every breath of Yang Shou, there are creatures born and died.
"No, the petri dish is too small to contain the explosion of species."
Yang Shou discovered the key problem. It is still in the early stage. The largest creature in the petri dish is only the size of the little finger, but as time goes by, sooner or later, there will be creatures the size of dinosaurs on the earth.
They were born in their own petri dish with a length, width and height of forty centimeters?
It's scary just thinking about it!
But Yang Shou didn't think of a way to solve this problem for a while. He could only witness the explosion and evolution of creatures. A variety of small ants, grasses and trees were occupying the site in the petri dish. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
In the 450,000th year of prehistory, countless species were born in the petri dish. From the outside, the petri dish was full of ants.
Finally, these species found the end of the world, and there was no way to expand in the four directions. They found the invisible ladder and tried to climb to the sky.
"Ha ha."
Yang Shoumo smiled emotionally, and brought a pot of boiling water, which flooded the petri dish.
The second extinction of species in prehistoric times was again because these species tried to ascend to the sky, provoking the majesty of the trainers.
"The second mass extinction, after the explosion of life, each species is not satisfied with the status quo, and then climbs the ladder again, causing another world-annihilating flood and the world's destruction."
Another hour passed, and the petri dish ushered in 480,000 years of prehistory.
On the basis of the diversity of the previous batch of species, the evolution of species has been much faster, and the birth of vertebrates and fishes has been ushered for the first time.
"It's not far from intelligent creatures, but their size must be limited, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
How to limit their size? Yang Shou had a superficial idea in his heart.
All living things adapt to the evolution of environmental variation, self-modify their genetic state, and adapt to the environment.
Then if every ten minutes, that is, 30,000 years, when they grow to the point where the petri dish can no longer hold it, he will pour boiling water into the petri dish to destroy the world.
Then, will they evolve genes independently and control their body size to prevent the petri dish from running out of space, instinctively climb the ladder, and then become extinct.
After two extinctions, Yang Shou has actually discovered that the species born in the 480,000th year is much smaller than before.
"If they could write body size into their genes, that would solve this problem perfectly!"
