In addition, there are countless strange forms of carbon based intelligent life, and even Li Yao is hard to tell whether it is carbon based, silicon-based or other forms of life, all falling in different test levels.
What impresses Li Yao deeply is a kind of intelligent life with abnormal brain expansion.
Their noumenon seems to have only a huge brain, far more powerful than the Pangu''s brain, but it is stored in a magic weapon similar to a flying saucer. Relying on the supernatural power and spiritual magnetic field, they absorb all kinds of mechanical arms and external magic units, carry them onto the flying saucer, and combine themselves into various forms, It can be called the perfect combination of biology and machinery.
However, such a perfect creation also fell in front of the black star gate and turned into a gray statue.
The moon watchers said that there was once a very intelligent race whose evolutionary level was among the top 100 ancient civilizations, which perfectly solved every problem thrown out by the original ancestors, passed the ultimate test without any flaw, and was finally ruthlessly wiped out by the original ancestors.
Before its demise, this intelligent race howled, saying that the ancestors had not left any precious inheritance at all. It was just a cruel death trap, and warned the latecomers not to fall into the trap again.
To think of it, the brain is deformed and expanded, and the flesh and blood are completely degenerated, but the race is replaced by steel and iron, which is what the moon watchers call the "perfect customs broker".
And the meaning of these pictures and these messages in Li Yao''s mind is also clear, which is a warning, a warning and a threat.
Yuanzu seems to be telling the tester in this way that its secret treasure is not something that can be easily obtained, and the cost of failure is extremely tragic. Therefore, the tester had better think clearly in an extremely calm state whether he should turn around and go home.
This is the last chance to give up testing.
Unfortunately, there is no word "give up" in Li Yao''s dictionary.
Over the countless paintings of civilization annihilation, over the countless more intelligent, stronger, braver, kinder or colder corpses of civilization than him, Li Yao''s speed is faster and faster, piercing the center of the dark abyss.
The giant magic soldiers are fragmented, the mustard combat suit and crystal armor are turned into powder, and the flesh and blood are all broken up and disappeared. Even the blood demons and LV Qingchen are swept away by a powerful force, so that Li Yao can no longer contact them. To think about it, some program of "ultimate test" takes them as independent individuals Blood demon and LV Qingchen prepared for three tests at the same time.
They have to do it alone.
Li Yao is more anxious and more determined to fight. No matter who is bloody, Lu Qingchen, miezhongdao, long Lianzi or anyone else, he can''t be faster than him. He must be the first one to pass the customs!
Finally——
The stars dissipated, the darkness shattered, and a faint light appeared in his field of vision. Although the light was a little blurred and distorted, he could barely distinguish the layers of scenery.
In front of him, Li Yao was shocked and stunned.
Through the black gate, through the corpses of countless civilizations, back to the ancient time and space, he seems to fall into a hot primitive ocean.
The sky is full of thick black clouds and fierce thunder. Lightning like a golden blade cleaves to the sea and stirs the ocean up and down. The plate activity on the bottom of the sea is extremely intense. Orange red magma and black plumes of smoke gush from time to time in the tearing crevices, just like strange ancient creatures.
At this time of the sea, silence and noise coexist.
Silence is because the first real life has just been born and has not yet mastered the ability of swallowing and communicating.
The noise is caused by the volcanic eruption on the sea floor, the constant collision of ocean currents and waves, the endless roar of thunder in the sky, and the rise and fall of the mainland, all of which awaken the initial vitality of the sea and present hundreds of millions of possibilities of a big explosion of life.
When Li Yao was in the ancient ocean, he found that he had lost his body and turned into an ancient fungus.
No, it''s not appropriate to use "an Archaea" to describe it. In fact, he felt that he had become a large collection of Archaea of the same nature, a bacterial blanket with a diameter of several hundred meters, attached to the side of the submarine volcano, relying on the heat of the magma to make a living.
But on the other hand, his consciousness is not only condensed on the mushroom blanket, but also can expand to the sea floor thousands of miles away, and even roam in the lightning, thunder, and unpredictable sky. It''s like standing in the perspective of a "third party" and quietly watching how the original creatures of the world evolved.
"Isn''t that right, again?"
Li Yao wants to gape, but now he has no eyes and tongue, and even no flagella for waving. He can only think, "is this the ultimate test? It''s like some kind of" game "with consciousness. How can he pass the test? Now he''s just a piece of slowly wriggling fungus blanket, and he doesn''t even have half an object for communication, Where are the ancestors and what are the rules? "
Just as this idea flashed through his mind, there were glittering and translucent streams of pale gold information, falling like a waterfall from his vision, providing him with countless data and options.
Lee yew understood in an instant.
This is the "first question" of the ultimate test. The tester has to manipulate these primitive bacteria blanket, repeat the road of evolution, and evolve into a carbon based intelligent life that can communicate with the original ancestor, so as to get the inheritance of the original ancestor.
Every Archaea in the original bacterial blanket is growing, splitting and dying. In the process of countless splits and deaths, there will be minimal variation. The tester must choose the "right" variation direction, and eliminate the "failed" variation. Only in this way can the whole group become more powerful and finally ignite the fire of wisdom.
Of course, different testers have different understanding of what is "right" and "wrong".
At the beginning of life, every tiny direction of variation will determine how strange, intelligent and tough the intelligent life will be.
Before he had time to think about it, the direction of hundreds of millions of variations exploded within his vision.
The ultimate test condensed the evolution of millions of years in a short moment. Therefore, every second, there are countless variation directions waiting for Lee to choose.
Some variation directions can make Archaea live longer at the cost of slower division.
There are also some variations in the opposite direction, which shorten the life span of Archaea by half, but increase the speed of division by 50%.
Some variations can make Archaea into spherical, spiral, rod-shaped, discoid and irregular States, while others can make Archaea evolve Lee Yew''s favorite flagella, which can improve their mobility and ability to devour food.
Some variation directions can change the structure of the outer membrane of archaea, making Archaea more suitable for the environment near the submarine volcano, but there are also other changes, which can improve the strength of flagella and the overall strength of the fungus blanket, so that the fungus blanket can move away from the submarine volcano and March to the broader seabed.
Every second, there are hundreds of pale gold options floating in front of Li Yao''s vision. Many times, he has no time to think about it, so he can only choose by intuition.
Lee yew instinctively screened out the mutation directions that extended the life of archaea, but retained the ability of "more division times".
Only more splits can bring more evolutionary possibilities. Now is not the time to talk about longevity and stability at all.
Later, he ruled out changing the structure of extracellular membrane to absorb more heat from magma.
Li Yao is very clear that life is inert. If Archaea evolved a structure that is very suitable for the submarine volcanic environment, they will stay here forever. They will always maintain a simple and low-level structure. It is impossible for them to march into the wider sea and evolve more, more complex and more advanced structures.
Born in peace, died of hardship, any life is like this, too adapted to the environment of the form, is killing blood can not see the gentle Township, only always forward, always and the environment, and fight heaven and earth, toward the cruel unknown March, is the true meaning of life!
At this time, a new mutation direction, from Li dazzle before a flash.
Li Yao''s consciousness almost shrunk to the tip of a needle and grasped this option like lightning.
That''s it!
After a long period of competition and evolution, an Archaea in his flora finally mutated into the ability to carry genetic information with "deoxyribonucleic acid"!
Before that, all Archaea used "RNA" to store and transmit genetic information.
Li Yao is very clear that although "RNA" is also a long chain molecule that is very suitable for carrying information, it is far inferior to "DNA" in terms of the amount of information stored and the stability!
Only by evolving "deoxyribonucleic acid", can the capacity of genetic information explode exponentially, completing the leap from "archaic life" to "ancient life"!
Boom!
Just after he chose to replace most of the functions of "RNA" with "deoxyribonucleic acid", the whole primitive ocean was engulfed by golden spheres of light, like an earth shaking explosion.
Then, the surrounding environment became completely different, the eruption of submarine volcanoes gradually subsided, the crust and weather changes became relatively stable, and more and more ancient marine life also evolved. All kinds of multicellular advanced life like trilobites, Nautilus and armored fish roamed freely among sea anemones, seaweed and colorful jellyfish.
Once again, Lee is faced with a life and death choice.
The golden information stream tells him that according to the mutated genes he has now mastered, he can choose to evolve into trilobites, Nautilus or armored fish and other top predators in the ancient ocean, and of course he can also choose to become a second-class predator, so as to get compensation from other evolutionary directions.
