How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Brain

The problem of fit has been solved, and the number of copies of the same kind of living organisms has soared exponentially.

...two...four...eight...sixteen...

The increase in quantity is also accompanied by the untie of a large number of 'shackles', which stimulates life more and prompts it to replicate and split more of the same kind.

As the number of clones cling together reaches a certain critical point, life has also changed in essence.

"I... I'm Hogu."

The living body, that is, Huo Gu, has finally had a clear understanding of himself and completely escaped from the previous muddle-headed state.

At the same time, I have to accept that I have become a 'single-cell biological cluster thinking'.

"No, maybe I'm just a person who accepted the memory of a human called 'Hogu'..."

In this matter, Huo Gu has not been entangled for a long time. After all, I am thinking about it. Only when it exists in the present can he be qualified to think about those scampous things.

At present, there are still the most difficult problems that need to be solved.

That's the part of the gene implanted by the mild phage into this single-cell cluster DNA.

After all, the mild bacteriophage is still a bacteriophage, not a good gentleman, even if it is mild.

What is a bacteriophage?

It is a virus that specializes in infecting microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, actinomycetes or spirochetes, and the terrorist killer of the microbial world.

However, unlike those toxic bacteriophages, the reaction cycle of mild bacteriophages will be longer.

This is like poison is also divided into chronic poison and strong poison. Chronic poison is not non-toxic, or not fatal, but the remaining cycle of toxicity is longer.

What's more fatal is that mild bacteriophage will infect those clones of the division with the single cell division. In other words, the single-cell biological cluster that Huo Gu is now boarding has all been infected.

As long as the mild bacteriophage enters the last bacteriolysis cycle, it means that the group of single-celled organisms staying in Hogu will also be finished.

What will happen to Huo Gu, who lost the boarding carrier, is also self-evident.

So, what should I do?

Such a question was put in front of Huo Gu, making him fall into meditation.

Bacteria and viruses are essentially a kind of things. A life based on amino acids is a different survival mode...

The gene chain is like a tape in a tape recorder. Only when it is connected can it play its original role...

"Although it's troublesome, it's the only feasible way."

Turning back from meditation, Huo Gu thought of a rather stupid method - through DNA 'unspin', gradually screening out the gene fragments that copied the bacteriophage.

But before that, it still needs to do some preparatory work.

The first is to select the experimental subject. Huo Gu did not select a single-celled organism currently in the carrier, but commanded the most peripheral replicator to split a subbody.

After splitting out, this replica is close to the single-cell biota under the command of Huo Gu.

This experiment began with the DNA of the child body. Huo Gu's spirit observed the process very attentively, and did not dare to relax at all for fear of missing a certain detail.

Then there is partial transcription, and the part of the rotation is starting from the gene fragment that replicates the protein structure, and begins to gradually expand the replication to both ends.

"Be careful... be careful... you must be more careful..."

Huo Gu warned himself in his heart over and over again that if the incomplete fragments transcribed form a toxic bacteriophage, it would be a very dangerous thing for him.

At the beginning of the first replication, after the protein structure that can be used as a connecting bridge is copied, it is just some useless proteins. Although it is docked with the transcribed bacteriophage tail, the shape is just a fluffy spherical shell, which is completely inconsistent with the bacteriophage shell.

Huo Gu also determined that one end of the gene chain belongs to his current DNA as the carrier, the single-cell cluster, thus focusing more on the other end.

At the beginning of the second replication, it was indeed transcribed this time, but only the shell of the phage, and no phage gene was copied.

Huo Gu is not in a hurry. Those who do experiments must be patient enough. This is the basic quality of a scientific researcher, and it is normal for ten years.

At the beginning of the third replication, the single-stranded base of the gene spontaneously looked for its own partner to replenish itself. As amino acids agglomeration formed proteins, the bacteriophage finally began to take shape.

The three-stent tails and the rocket-shaped protein container connected to the tail are the shell of the mild bacteriophage.

Transcription continues. This time, the amino acids are combined with each other in a completely different form than before, forming a single chain, and independently complete the base pair combination and enter the phage shell.

Huo Gu knew that the genetic fragments it had been trying to find had been found.

However, before was relieved, what happened next made it nervous, and what it was most worried about still appeared.

The single chain that is being replicated does not stop transcribing the genes of bacteriophage. The number of bacteriophage in the child cells is increasing, and the single DNA chain is completely out of control. At all costs, the gene is transcribed to create bacteriophages.

Obviously, these are toxic bacteriophages, the most threatening bacteriophages to Hogu. Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only

Huo Gu can probably guess what's going on. The gene replication of bacteriophage is still incomplete, and it is this deficiency that causes the mild phage to turn into a toxic bacteriophage.

According to the current development trend, these toxic bacteriophages will gradually explod the cell membrane from the inside out, and then infect other single-cell organisms, and perform the behavior of 'infection-replication-explosion' over and over again.

The first thing to do is the single-cell cluster that Huo Gu boarded.

Fortunately, Huo Gu took protective measures against accidents in the experiment early in the morning.

"Stay away from us."

Huo Gu gave instructions to the child body that was not connected to the single-cell cluster.

The child body filled with bacteriophage inside immediately changed its fit state, and took on the power gushing everywhere in the dark, quickly away from Huo Gu and disappeared.

Huo Gu was not idle on this side. He quickly moved in the opposite direction with the power of those gushing.

I don't know how long it took, I don't know how far I ran. After Huo Gu thought he was really safe, the single-cell cluster stopped moving.

Things are far from over. So far, information has been collected for the next step.

Huo Gu's target is on the child body of a single-cell cluster.

Next, it will have an 'operation' to save itself.
