Chapter 5.14 The struggle of protozoa. Organic integration
In the course of more than ten days, more than thirty ant nests on the hilltops were destroyed.
How unethical is Wei Keng's method of destroying ants: for the sake of environmental protection, each shell of the cluster bomb contains sugar, so every unexploded bomb will be left to the ants for detonation.
The ants never thought that other creatures would come to drill their holes!
That tunnel can only be drilled by small animals! And such a small animal, if it runs on four legs, would not weigh more than forty kilograms. If such a light creature is not an awesome node creature, it will be able to crawl through it in just a few hours.
Contaminated by radiation from the biome.
Wei Keng, who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, can withstand radiation for a day or two. Later, he even relied on the battery pulley system on his abdomen to move around inside, coming and going very fast.
What's even more unexpected is that after getting in, it can not only resist radiation, but also decipher the life fluctuation language inside the ant colony.
…
Under the most unlikely circumstances of being penetrated, it was like inserting a key into a keyhole, and it suddenly entered.
If a little more effort is put into it, the nest ant colonies of this era can be transformed into livestock systems by humans just like the pigs, cattle and sheep of the old era.
The reason why pigs, horses, and dogs are easily domesticated is because they have evolved social behaviors. Humans can control a group of animals as long as they hold the leader and keep them in a designated area.
Now this large ant is a truly social creature and has the potential to become a "bamboo rat".
Therefore, the land and resources statistics department in the unified logging area has established a project to conduct a comprehensive survey on the population size and nest structure of this type of creature.
During the investigation, even more surprising ecological discoveries were made.

After exploring ant caves on more than thirty hills, Wei Keng discovered that among the life radiation of ants on dozens of hills, no one ant's gene frequency band occupies a dominant position.
But ants with different genetic sequences do share a constant life radiation frequency band! However, it does not seem to belong to ants.
As a result, after careful analysis, this life radiation turned out to be from a flagellate.
If analyzed based on core genes, it may not necessarily be correct to compare the ant community here with the Tallinn nest master community in South America. The main gene of the South American community is obviously army ants, and here is flagellate, so this is actually a flagellate community.
.
When the earth was still in the era of species, termites and flagellates were symbiotic and cooperated to share an ecological niche. It didn't matter who was dominant! But in this Pandora era, it is very important who is dominant!
This is not an era when species are separated from each other. Whoever occupies a dominant position can control the expansion direction of genetic radiation!
~
This is just like before the 18th century, global capital was still regional capital, tied to the rise and fall of the local nation.
It doesn't matter which one is more important or less important, capitalism or nationalism, but they should unite and look outward.
However, in Europe, after the two super wars, the national prejudices between European and American white asset holders were shattered. Europe and the United States began to expand with capital as the leading factor, rather than with nationality as the leading factor.
As long as you are an asset holder, regardless of whether you are of Irish descent, Angsa descent, Germanic descent, or even Jewish descent in the United States, you have the right to increase the group's assets.
In this kind of dominance of international capital (white capital), the expansion concept is: wherever (Western) international capital can make a profit, it can get investment.
The focus of such investment must be the coastal areas with cheap labor and convenient transportation around the world. (Of course, the leaders of international capital must still be Westerners. It is still impossible for you with yellow skin to integrate.)
And what if the priority is still to be nationality?
There is such a historical direction that has failed in modern times: in the conception of the Third Reich, only the Germans could hold assets, and other ethnic groups could only become vassals of the empire.
Only areas where Germanic people gather will receive investment. According to the head of state's vision, if the Germanic people want to survive in the East, then Eastern Europe will definitely be the focus of investment, while East Asia and Southeast Asia, no matter how cheap the labor force, cannot develop.
The low-end area. If it develops and has the potential to challenge the excellence of the Germans, it will inevitably lead to war (The Man in the High Castle timeline)
~
Express it according to the above concepts.
The owners of the Tallin nest in South America are from the Third Reich, and the main genotype of their life radiation is army ants! They spread the genes of army ants to all ant species, establishing a genetic empire with ants as the core.
However, the ant nests in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River are obviously a bit international capitalist. Although they were developed in termite colonies, they have also expanded to other ant colonies.
And even though the ant colony is the most powerful animal group in this genetic community, are ants all they have?
After Wei Keng submitted his findings, the Bai Linglu team of the Space and Time Management Bureau changed their thinking and re-analyzed the area.
subsequently
Good guy!
In the genetic community on the periphery of the entire upper reaches of the Huaihe River, among all the species that have been observed, the number of plant-eating species is significantly greater than in other areas, and some carnivorous organisms show omnivorous characteristics! That is, they devour directly.
Fiber. Behind this is infection with flagellates.
The most common diseases that Yecheng adventurers are likely to suffer from after entering this jungle area are indigestion and urinary tract infection, which are all characteristics of Giardia infection.
[Wei Keng’s life radiation is too strong, and he has not yet experienced such symptoms. 】
~
The main world certainly needs to verify this kind of situation.
After Wei Keng collected a large number of animal and plant specimens at the temporary observation station here, he reached conclusions consistent with his deductions.
In other words, a small protozoan gene that relies on organelles actually has the intention to establish a large community in this Pandora world!
Therefore! The current threat of genetic radiation is far from the tigers, apes, and carnivorous plants that humans can see. It is more likely to come from protozoa that were previously dismissed! This is indeed true for the early Qing-level travelers who explored the Pandora plane.
It's Cthulhu.
But that's it for now
Now that this highly hidden protozoan gene community has been found, it faces scientific analysis and elimination.
In the words of Bai Linglu Zhonger: "Wherever the light of science shines, the mysterious darkness will retreat."
…
Wei Keng concluded: "When termites and flagellates expanded together in the early days, they were still indiscriminate. However, as the expansion of termite biological forms was restricted, ants were added. However, ants could not accommodate the flagellates' energy extraction from plants. Flagella
The protozoa passed over the ants and expanded towards the jungle. It happened that other genetic communities in the jungle had not yet emerged and the protozoa had not been destroyed by radiation, so these protozoa began to counterattack!"
Nowadays, these protozoa are so powerful that they have not only penetrated into the digestive tract, but even penetrated into the nervous system.
The highest-ranking commander in the swarm is still the mother worm, but it is no longer the nerves of the ants that convey and receive information. Once the protozoa expands into non-ant genetic communities and takes root successfully, then the flagellate
The consciousness of the genetic community is no longer in the body of the ant, but transferred to the community of other species.
This is just like capital. At this stage, it is in the core of your country and your country, giving orders to your country and your country. Once it finds the "New World", it will immediately break away from the host like a parasitic civilization.
~
After Wei Keng dug out samples of all the protozoa around him, he finally found the original gene that could carry the life cells of the insect swarm.
The unified cutting area will focus on cultivating this kind of cells.
However, this kind of cultivation is also destined to be under the influence of human genes!
What is finally created is like the big radish soaked in the pond. Although it will become a community system with sufficient energy supply, it will eventually become surrendered.
~
Here is an explanation of the master-subordinate relationship between genetic communities.
Now the human genetic community is the master, and organisms including the radish rely on human industry to provide energy as the slaves.
So the proteins that can be replicated in human genes are not allowed to be used by your submissive gene community. You only have the proteins that cannot be replicated in human genes. This is the status of a younger brother within a younger brother.
Using the analogy of the globalized industrial chain, in the industrial chain of protein synthesis, the human cluster itself is complete. The "backward groups" that submit to the gene community must find a supply chain from the genes in the human community in order to complete the replication.
Without human genes to provide a large amount of core proteins, even though the Chen clan has a seemingly brilliant flow of biological energy, it will be finished at any time due to the lack of a human supply chain.
~
The Tongfa District has begun construction of a production line for this type of carbon-based communicator.
This factory will have a large number of petri dishes, which will be integrated in the petri dish through current and frequency band effects, and then attached to the vascular tissue to supply energy.
Eventually, an organization the size of a mouse head will be formed! This organization can convert the electrical information entered on the keyboard into the life frequency band and transmit it. It can also display the life signals sent by the signal tower on the interface, or directly translate them into signals that can be used by humans.
Understanding the language of the mind.
Put the tissue into a glass shell, place it in a constant temperature area under the armpit, and add sugar cubes regularly for replenishment. Then, communication technology! It’s done!
~
Use cell integration instead of silicon-based circuit board integration. The technical route is completely different.
Although a large number of cells have reached the micron level, they appear to be weaker than those based on silicon. However, silicon-based integrated circuits are carved on a surface, while cells can be three-dimensionally integrated. Moreover, each cell is not binary.
In Pandora's field, the synthesis and deformation of different proteins can emit unique frequency bands.
After the current technical route emerges, the standard for technological breakthrough is not how many nanometers are needed, but how to integrate cells more effectively.
The brain of a whale weighs 7000 grams and that of an elephant weighs 5000 grams. They are both larger than humans, but they are definitely no more advanced than humans.
Every capillary and the construction of a neural chain need to be studied and optimized. What will be created now may take hundreds of years to overcome the technical chain to its limit.
To maintain this technical chain, a large number of petri dishes must be used to cultivate the ant nerves genetically modified from flagellates. In this way, materials are continuously replenished and their genes are replicated. According to the ecological energy supply, a community will definitely be formed.
And such a community must depend on humans.
…
Bai Linglu has been pushing to increase the actual importance of the Pandora plane.
And carbon-based communication was the last straw that made the top review department of the Great River System's space-time management department make up its mind!
Since the end of the First Plane War, many high-level travelers have made predictions when passing through the Pandora plane: as long as this plane can be controlled, then this will be the best biotechnology research plane.
For the main world, if we could go through decades and hundreds of years of biological evolution experiments and re-enact the evolution of specific organs and biological tissues that took place for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years, the value would be sky-high.
For example, starting from a more primitive starting point, we can build a developed brain tissue, muscle nerve response system. This kind of template that humans inherited from their ancestors can give humans a deeper understanding of the formation of wisdom.
~
Of course, during the first plane war, the upper management of the Space-Time Administration did not hesitate to praise the potential of this plane, because this is always potential.
And a certain sergeant who "accidentally" opened a new historical line in the Pandora plane was still busy in other planes.
When the "sergeant" comes back to continue to start history, whether the scientific research attributes of this plane can really be stimulated will require an updated argument.
But now, Bai Linglu has been submitting a report every day, using formulaic but sarcastic words to report the progress: "Look, look, you guys slowly argue, my technology patents are full, and I need to apply for advanced confidentiality procedures. Already."
~
Indeed, when Wei Keng's partial consciousness returned to the plane of Pandora, major milestone discoveries popped up one after another.
Bai Linglu: Finding the right explorer to carry out the mission will get twice the result with half the effort. Now even the apostle life form in this high-risk plane, (Wei Keng) can be defeated at any time!
Biochip technology and "reproduction technology" derived from artificially evolved organs and tissues also see the light of day.
All obstacles to the rise of human civilization have been removed. There is a smooth road ahead, and a lot of fruits are waiting to be picked. If you are quick, you will get it, but if you are slow, you will not!
~
Bai Linglu quickly got what she wanted, and her rank as a supervisor in the Space-Time Administration was significantly improved.
She is already superior to Qin Xiaohan in terms of position and can intervene in the current deployment of the Kong Twisting Plane.
In the Kong Twist plane, her supervisory authority is almost the same as that of the leader Qin Xiaohan. But now she is much more experienced, and she does not exercise the right to interfere with the mess of Kong Twist, she is only making suggestions.
On the other side of the air twisting plane, Wei Keng was still accumulating skills without limit and avoided frontal combat, which actually made Qin Xiaohan's guidance ability questionable.
…
On the shore of the Yangtze River port, the surface of the river that was once called the Huangpu River has now become whitecaps due to the lack of human industrial activities.
Jianye City set up a military fortress here that could accommodate 5,000 people. The fortress was not high, the people coming and going wore homespun clothes, and the carriages and horses in the city made it look like the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
But through the heavy fog on the river, you can see the magnificent ruins of the city to the east!
In Puhai City, the largest city in mankind before Pandora's arrival, skyscrapers that have lost their glass skins stand empty, becoming "ghost fingers" shrouded in clouds and mist.
In the cracks in the glass, something that seems to be a tentacle or a vine hangs down from it, claws and teeth. Every evening, under the sunlight, you can occasionally see tens of meters of slender "spider crabs" climbing on the top of the building. Walking. It used to be the most prosperous place in the old civilization era, and the housing price of each house could squeeze out the hard work of generations of people from other places. But now it has become a ghost haunted by the East China Sea genetic community.
Compared with the prosperity of Puhai in the past, this mottled bastion fortress made of blue bricks mixed with red bricks looks like an industrial garbage dump, but it is now the easternmost stronghold in Jianye that can reach the sea to the east.
Today, people here started patrolling the outer river as usual, and blocked the life communities entering the inner river from the ocean.
However, in the distant Urami City, a large number of flying life forms were startled! The diffuse smoke that originally covered two-thirds of the building, like a brothel woman's long gown, quickly dissipated, revealing the entire building at once.
Immediately afterwards, a sad dragon roar came from the other side of the sea!
