4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution - Chapter 9 stem cell

In fact, Lynn has thought about this problem more than once.

Each of its cells has a certain number. If they all die, how can they have them again?

Do the same thing as before? For example, if you let the cells phagocytose the lysate again, can you evolve the acid injection?

But why did the cones evolve? Lin still doesn't understand it.

But the point is not here, the focus is on the steps that must be so troublesome, can you get them again?

Lynn doesn't think so.

Lin will find a way.

Thinking of this, Lin's diggers have already eaten half of the amoeba, and the number of diggers has soared, reaching 699.

Lin began to implement its ideas, starting with the storage of energy and food. Lin began to try to make a stalker who was very full, almost split, continue to eat and prevent it from splitting.

How to stop splitting? Lin is not clear, the split is self-generated, so Lynn only keeps controlling it in his thoughts, forbidding it to do things that are not in line with Lin's ideas.

It seems to be successful. The digger did not split, but continued to eat the body of the amoeba.

Next, it was storage, and Lynn began trying to stop it from digesting food, leaving the food in the body.

Successfully, the food in the diggers was not digested, but was piled up in one place.

I didn't expect it to be so simple, Lynn felt a little happy.

Next, Lin let the cell keep eating, only digesting the part that is needed for its activities, and the extra is not used for division, but is stored in the body, which also leads to the body shape of this cell. The bigger it gets, the more it doubles after eating it for a while.

However, storing these foods can also cause the cells to become inflexible, slow-moving, and even the action of sawing food becomes difficult to perform.

This will make it even difficult to eat, but this problem is simple for Lin, let other cells help it, use ordinary diggers to help the cells that store food to collect food, and this cell Just need to be responsible for eating.

Slowly, this cell has made interesting changes.

As the food only continues to work, the serrations of its outer membrane begin to slowly disappear, and Lin knows that this phenomenon is called degradation.

At the same time, its size has become very large, almost three times that of other diggers, and the fragments of the amoeba stored in the body are also decomposed, but not digested, but converted into a water-like, but It is a more viscous liquid.

Lin knows that these liquids are called oils.

This cell converts the food it eats into oil and stores it in the body. These oils are easy to carry and seem to contain more energy and take up less space than the direct storage of food.

Lin didn't know how they formed. It wasn't controlled by Lynn, but what happened to the cells themselves.

Lin is not 100% in controlling cells, such as splitting and other behaviors, all of which are cells that operate. Oil is also determined by themselves. It seems that there are some deep mysteries in the cells, something that Lynn doesn't know. .

With the gradual increase in intelligence, Lynn can fully grasp this.

Lynn gave this cell a name - the keeper.

Lin can also let the clerk split, but the new cells that the clerk splits are oil-free, and they need to eat food to turn it into oil.

A good feeling, as long as there are more, then you are not afraid of being hungry, but this kind of cells can not be too much, after all, can not fight, the speed of action is also very slow.

Eating continues. After a while, the body of the amoeba is only about 10% left. The cell community of Lin has almost recovered its original number, and the number of reservoirs has also been 30. It is possible to let Lin's community move a considerable distance downstream without eating.

But what Lin wants most now is to regain acid and cone cells.

Lin first tried to make the digger evolve into one of the two, using the old method, and constantly thinking in the thoughts to make this cell become like that.

But it didn't work. Excavating the cells and splitting them is still excavating cells.

Kolin did not give up, it continued to experiment, for example, let the diggers do something like a cone, or simply try to squeeze a cell into a cone with other cells.

Of course, all failed. At the end, Lynn felt that her method was stupid...

But Lynn has not stopped letting them evolve in their thoughts. Eventually, a cell responded to it.

That is the basic cell, the original, the kind of cells that have no function.

This cell can only be split by the only cell with vision: the observer.

The observer has not been involved in any activities, so in addition to vision, everything remains the basic appearance, and the cells it splits do not have vision.

These cells are called basal cells, and they usually evolve into diggers when they work with the diggers, but this time, the cell has not yet had time to become a diggers, and it receives a signal from Lynn.

Just like a miracle, after the cell has digested the food that has just been eaten, its body begins to grow longer, and then grows a tapered mouth like a cone of cells, which is covered with spiral sawtooth... ...

It is exactly the same as the original cone.

Next, Lin tried to make the basic cells evolved into acid injections, and the results were very simple.

So, that is to say, although the basic cells have no function, but they will evolve?

But can it evolve into something else?

Lin thought so, it tried to make the basic cells evolve into amoeba or strange cells.

……no response.

It seems that only the cells belonging to the Lin community can change the basic cells. They do not have any evolutionary ability, but record this evolutionary information.

But how are they recorded? Has the observer been watching it all the time?

Lin didn't know, but now the most important problem has been solved, Lin feels very happy.

Next, go to the vast world and explore all the unknowns!

The amoeba has been eaten dry, with 1233 cells, and Lin swims to the boundless dark blue...

Lin has no goal. In this dark blue, it can't see any goals, but there are some things that attract Lin.

That is warmth.

Having been swimming in this direction, Lynn feels more and more that it has got rid of the cold before, and the water is getting warmer and more comfortable.

This direction seems to be above.

The closer it is, the more bright and warmer the water is. Lin speeds up and swims warmly. It seems to bring power to its cell community. This is completely opposite to the cold contraction. It feels very good. Comfortable.

Just then, the observer who was in the front position found fresh food.

Above the Lin's community, there are countless purple creatures.

They are oval in shape, and the body is covered with dense cilia, about half the size of the cells, but they are quite numerous.

More, covered with the range of vision that the observers can see.

The preliminary calculation is about 10,000 or more.

This is another kind of cell. Lin doesn't know what they are called, so I just call it the simplest name 'purple cell'.

These purple cells don't care about the appearance of Lin's community. Even if Lin's cells are close to them, they will not attack and have no reaction, but they are rushing to swim in the same direction.

The warmth that Lin wanted to go was in the same direction.

If this is the case, then check it out.
