How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Multicellular

In a boiling liquid with bubbles, a round creature is drifting with the waves, floating in this area with the flow of liquid.

"Very good, everyone keeps it up very well."

"So now it's time to close for the first time, and the inner cells are ready to divide."

With Huo Gu's order, the openings of the front and back of the floating cylinder creature began to slowly close, as if a multicellular creature was closing its mouth.

"Very good."

Huo Gu watched the whole process attentively. To be honest, he still felt a little nervous.

This is the first trial operation. Huo Gu can't 100% guarantee that there will be no mistakes. Many things, sometimes they are so unexpected, just like the double-walled cell not long ago.

"Next, start to drop enzymes into the cavity."

With the instruction, a large number of enzymes that can break down proteins are manufactured by the epidermal cells of the inner cavity and put into the liquid in the inner cavity.

Those microorganisms trapped in this cavity, whether they are viruses, bacteria or fungi, are, without exception, being decomposed by the disseminated enzymes.

The most important thing to be decomposed is microorganisms such as viruses. Their structure is too simple. The shell is a layer of protein, and bacteria, fungi and at least a layer of cell walls.

However, the cell walls of bacteria and fungi will not last long. They are facing a group-level monster. If a single microbial individual like them wants to compete with it, it is like a dream.

After a period of time, the microorganisms in the inner cavity were completely decomposed by enzymes, and only amino acids remained in this solution.

The inner wall of the cavity absorbs, processes, processes and transmits these amino acids to those inner cells, which then transports these nutrients to the epidermal cells as the main protection.

Huo Gu looked at the whole process with a little relief. Except for the initial opening of his mouth and requiring it to give instructions, all the other things were completed by the cells themselves, which was also a great progress.

After that, Huo Gu continued to carry out the second and third 'eating' behavior. As a result, it seems that they are not much different from the first time, which can perfectly kill those microorganisms and decompose them into amino acids and absorb them.

"Then the next step is the manufacture of the visual system."

After confirming that he would not be threatened by his life for the time being, Huo Gu put the 'visual system' on the agenda.

Information is extremely important at all times.

Huo Gu now urgently needs to determine where he is so that he can formulate a survival strategy.

If you want to have an eye, you need to have an eye point, a organelle that can respond to light.

However, Huo Gu does not have such organelles at present.

"Eye points..."

"Since I don't have it here, it's better to grab it from other guys."

"Well, that's it. Capture those microorganisms, analyze their genes, and then connect them to the original genes."

Thinking of this, Huo Gu began to capture microorganisms.

The 'mouth' of the cylindrical creature slowly opens.

With the displacement and flow of liquid, microorganisms are sucked into the inner cavity of cylindrical organisms without resistance.

While the two through channels are completely closed, a large number of enzymes are released. As before, a large number of microorganisms are killed by enzymes.

However, compared with before, there is still a difference. After most of the viral microorganisms are killed, the enzymes are just consumed.

Mistake?

No, this is not a mistake. It's all the development as Hogu planned.

If there are too many enzymes, there will be only amino acids left in the inner cavity. If there are too few enzymes, it will not completely kill those viruses. Maybe it will repeat the previous crisis of bacteriophage.

The key is the amount of enzymes, neither too much nor too little. The previous opening and closing of the mouths is not only to observe whether there are defects in the design of this multicellular organism, but also to know how long the virus can survive in this enzyme-filled environment.

When the enzyme is consumed, the liquid in the inner cavity no longer has the function of breaking down proteins.

Those connected protein structures are protruded and stand horizontally in the liquid in the inner cavity. Microorganisms that are locked in the inner cavity and run around are easily captured by these protein structures.

In this way, Huo Gu can directly observe the captured single-celled creatures from his perspective.

"Well...this is..."

Like a single-celled tadpole, the outermost layer is a relatively thick and very loose cell wall, which only plays a role in reducing collision and cannot defend against viruses such as bacteriophages, or aggressive bacteria and fungi.

Then there is the cell membrane, which is ordinary. The composition and structure of the cell membrane are basically the same.

Finally, there is the small tail that has been swinging, also known as flagella, which is the most surprising thing for Huo Gu.

With this sample, he can design the external organs that drive the movement of the entire single-cell cluster, so that the safety factor will increase a lot.

At least you don't have to worry about running away when you are in danger.

"Let's put the words of flagella aside for the time being. The key is to find single-celled organisms with organelles such as 'eye spots'."

Huo Gu diverted his attention and began to look at another single-celled organism captured by the protein structure.

This time, it is a single-celled organism with a double membrane without a cell wall. Compared with the previous single-cell, this single-celled organism is much more fragile.

There is no flagellum on the outside, but it does not disappoint Huo Gu, because there is a suspected mitochondrial organelle in this cell.

Mitochondria can be said to be the engine of the microbiological world. Combining nutrients and oxygen, or other combinations, it can realize the conversion of energy forms.

For example, light energy rotation energy, chemical energy to light energy, chemical energy to heat energy... and so on.

Even if the organelle of the original suspected mitochondria does not meet Huo Gu's current needs, with this mitochondria as a template, Huo Gu can also design a mitochondria that belongs to single-cell clusters.

"This is really good, but let's put it first. Finding the eye point cell organelle is the top priority. It's too dangerous not to be able to observe the situation around."

The long protein structure swings in the inner cavity, like a fishing line thrown by a fishing master on the water.

One after another, single-cell organisms have been caught out by this thin line. Among them, there are various types of organelles, and there are all kinds of strange things, but only bacteria with 'eye point' cell organs have not been found.
