How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 7 - 7 Design

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Design

Kill! Kill them all! Kill them to the extinct! Only by letting them die can we be safe!

Such a violent idea occupies Huo Gu's thinking, which is transmitted to all single cells. The cells are like soldiers who have received orders. From the beginning, Huo Gu operated them to resist with enzymes, and gradually evolved to their spontaneous struggle. As long as the bacteriophage parasitizes, it immediately kills the cell membrane, which is the same as the bacteriophage. End to the end.

The mutation of the single-celled cells reversed the stalemate on both sides in an instant. The single-cell cluster on Huo Gu's side began to gain the upper hand and pushed back against the corpses of his companions.

When the last bacteriophage dies from a single-cell suicide attack after parasitizes, the battle of life-saving battle is over.

The corpses are everywhere. Even if there is endless darkness around, Huo Gu can roughly build that scene. At this time, the single-cell cluster has shrunk to one-th of the original 20.

Huo Gu, who recovered his composure, only felt afraid for a while. If he still had a human body now, it would have been as if it had been immersed in ice water.

In the battle just now, as long as there are more bacteriophages, it will be over...

"No, the cause of death of double-walled cells must be found immediately!"

Huo Gu's attention quickly turned to the completely dead double-walled cell.

"First of all, eliminate the impossible factors one by one..."

"It can't be 'antibiotics'. Although fungi and bacteria can be produced, viruses such as phage can't do it. Their structure is too simple. Moreover, if it comes from the single cell itself, the double-walled cell should have a certain degree of resistance..."

"What's the reason for that?"

Huo Gu found that he had returned to the origin of the problem - how did the double-walled cells die?

"First of all, when it's a single wall, it's good..."

"Wait, single wall? That's right, it's a single wall!"

Huo Gu suddenly thought of something and suddenly focused on the slightly intertwined tunnel.

Because of this staggered, the tunnel forms a narrow material exchange tunnel with two wide ends.

Originally, this is used to make single cells and the outside world form the interaction of matter, energy and information, which is indispensable for all life to maintain its own activities.

Now this tunnel is blocked. Those small molecules and large molecules are blocking the tunnel.

This is like blocking a person's mouth and nose, and the death of double-walled cells is logical.

"So, this is a design defect at the beginning, but what should I do? Even if the DNA is corrected, the problem of blockage can't be solved. If you give up narrowing the tunnel, you can't defend against those phage that deserve thousands of knives.

The idea gradually went to a dead end. After a while, Huo Gu's ideas had been mixed into a paste, and he couldn't think of any good solution.

"Maybe I should do it another way..."

Since this road doesn't work, it's better to change the road. Huo Gu's mind flashed the scene of fighting with the bacteriophage cluster before.

"I'm not me, but us..."

"The ability of an individual is always limited. Maybe I should work in this direction..."

A prototype gradually appeared in Huo Gu's thoughts - a multicellular creature!

"In the case of skin, the outermost layer of cells is feasible to make that kind of fully closed cell. If life is maintained, it will be handed over to this layer of 'epidermal' protected inner cells."

The long striped creature like bamboo appeared in front of Huo Gu.

"The inner cells are only responsible for conveying and feeding, and the defense and attack are assigned to other types of cells."

"It's better to have an internal space to facilitate targeted strikes."

The long stripe creature in the mind is transparent, and the interior shows the appearance of Huo Gu's conception. The inner wall of the cavity has the same surface cells as the outer skin. When those microorganisms enter the cavity, the epidermal cells in these cavity will release a large number of enzymes to decompose the microorganisms in the cavity into amino acids.

In this way, the cavity is a completely harmless nutrient solution. Although it has a large number of enzymes, as long as the cell wall of the epidermal cells in the cavity is maintained and the two sides are balanced, the 'digesty fluid' in the cavity is harmless.

"Two openings are involved, so that when the whole single-cell cluster moves, the running water itself will bring those microorganisms into the cavity."

At this moment, Huo Gu's thoughts suddenly came to a halt, and he found that there were problems in some places.

How to absorb the amino acids broken down by enzymes?

This is a terrible problem. If there is no way to ingest the amino acids in the cavity, these previous designs are just in vain.

Is there no way? Huo Gu fell into meditation again, recalling the memories of the human era and looking for the biological designs recorded in those books.

"What about the person?"

"How do people achieve nutritional intake after eating?"

Huo Gu asked himself like this.

Gastric mucosa, the gastric mucosa is alkaline and can be neutralized with gastric acid, so gastric acid does not pose any threat to the stomach unless the gastric mucosa is destroyed..."

"I can try to mix it as an inhibitor of the 'digest' enzyme, so that I don't have to worry that the enzyme will break down the inner wall of the cavity."

"Therefore, the cell wall of the epidermal cells in the inner wall of the cavity is not necessarily..."

Huo Gu's idea suddenly stopped, and then he gave up the idea.

"No, it still has to be. What if those microorganisms have completed the infection and parasitism of cells in the cavity before digestion?"

This problem must be noted. Huo Gu decided to continue to retain the original cell wall design of cells in the cavity.

Next is the design of 'sw mouth' and 'shut up'.

This is not too difficult. It has a ready-made protein structure as a 'rope', which can simulate the 'taryn' of multicellular organisms.

Although there is no muscle fiber to provide help, it doesn't matter. It can be completely powered by cell division.

The only drawback is that it is impossible to open and close the mouth as quickly as those multicellular organisms with muscle fibers.

However, Huo Gu is not worried about this shortcoming, because the opponent he has to face is microorganisms, and the speed of closing his mouth is not very meaningful.

It can be said that as long as it does not fight against multicellular organisms, Huo Gu's design is invincible. Even in the face of the previous phage, it can guarantee to crush it.

The current situation is no longer as in the past, fighting separately, as loose as a plate of sand. Under this design, a single-cell cluster is like a clenched fist, which is enough to destroy any microbe that dares to punch it.

In terms of volume, microbes have lost from the beginning.
