Chapter 42 The Three D's
He began to observe as many blue bacteria as possible, the entire process of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Soon he discovered the problem. The reason why blue bacteria died so quickly was because there was no forming cell membrane. It simply exchanged substances with the external environment based on its own tissue fluid alone, which was powerless to harmful substances, and the efficiency of substance exchange was also very low.
For example, when absorbing carbon dioxide and water vapor, it is easy to inhale toxic and harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide, and they will get poisoned and burp on the spot.
Or when cyanobacteria comes into direct contact with the soil, they are easily invaded by mud and other substances.
He thought for about half an hour and finally came to the conclusion.
I need cell membranes!
Only the formed cell membrane structure can block external invasion and enhance the efficiency of absorbing nutrients by forming more detailed channels on the membrane.
He began to actively strengthen his spiritual connection with a small blue bacteria community around him.
"Mold making machine, start!"
Within one second, this part of the cyanobacteria began to actively regulate resources in the body, gathering towards the edge of the body, and trying to harden these resources to form a shell.
But after the blink of an eye, the coverage of blue bacteria around him, which was about the size of a palm, instantly withered and his vitality quickly dissipated.
All dead.
Xu Zhifeng was stunned for a while.
Little brother, you guys died so miserably!
Five seconds of silence.
The still alive blue bacteria community next to it spread again, and this yellowed area was quickly covered by the new blue bacteria community, and the color was slightly lighter than before.
Start summarizing failed experiences.
When the hardened shell appeared just now, the reasons why this spore community was completely destroyed can be summarized as follows.
First, too many nutrients are transferred away to maintain the needs of life.
Second, the hardened shell is completely closed with the outside world, cutting off the material exchange.
Third, hardened shell deformity.
Fourth, the damaged shell not only fails to serve as a protection and exchange of matter, but instead becomes a leak of air leakage.
There are countless billions of blue bacteria in this area. Anyway, it is destroyed to the point where only one remains, which means that his thinking is not working.
He changed the blue bacteria and tried it again, and it was true.
Change again.
Destroy again.
After trying ten consecutive times, the conclusion was completely formed, and the road was blocked and the probability was zero.
So what exactly is the problem?
Xu Zhifeng began to recall his high school biology knowledge.
He suddenly remembered the rhizobacterium powder he had sprinkled when he was planting Xuanling Grass, and suddenly realized it.
etc!
My direction is wrong!
The cell membrane is not simply a accumulation of cellular tissues, and an important substance is missing!
protein!
The simplest single-cell biocyanobacteria must develop towards complexity and versatility, and first evolved from the function of using nitrogen to synthesize amino acids and then using amino acids to synthesize proteins.
Then, the cell membrane can be destructured based on protein!
"Change your mind, I'm here to protein!"
Xu Fuzi roared again in a coarse manner and grabbed a handful of fertilizer bottle next to the pillow.
There are ready-made proteins and amino acids in the fertilizer.
He analyzed the structure of these things, not to produce them himself before stuffing them into the body of the blue bacteria army, but to understand their structure first.
Only in this way can he manipulate the cyanobacteria in a targeted manner to evolve in the direction of being able to synthesize proteins on its own.
He thought of many ways.
He first copied the protein in the body once, and then called out the protein-like protein in the body to compare it with the corresponding one.
Then he used his deepening understanding to release some of the protein components of the ontological genes and introduced them into the experimental field blue bacteria.
Three hours later, he didn't know how many times he failed, and finally succeeded.
A small piece of diversified cyanobacteria survives and proliferates rapidly.
The new type of cyanobacteria is slightly larger than the first generation of cyanobacteria and survives longer, but the splitting speed is slightly slower.
Xu Zhifeng waited for about three or four hours, and was about to take the initiative to guide him without much time before waking up, but he suddenly discovered that a new variety of refined varieties was born in the new blue bacteria!
The new varieties have different shapes, some are long strips, some are conical, some are smaller in size, and some are larger than before.
The new varieties all have one thing in common, and they all have cell membranes with different shapes and functions.
To borrow a biology teacher’s words.
Biodiversity is beginning to emerge.
Xu Zhifeng was too lazy to name one by one, and still regarded it as a blue bacteria community in general.
New bacterial species gradually spread far away in the competition, and their spheres of influence were expanded intertwined.
At the same time, the original basal cyanobacteria is also constantly expanding its area, so there is no need to worry about being completely replaced by new dominant species.
Various colonies will form a wonderful balance.
Basic cyanobacteria enrich resources, rapidly expand the scope of influence, and leave nutrients.
The new colonies each exert their own advantages, perhaps because of their lifespan, perhaps because of their huge size, or perhaps because of their stronger proliferation ability brought by smaller size.
Of course, no matter which species of bacteria it is, it will eventually die and become the nutrients of the spore clone.
It was almost dawn, and Xu Zhifeng's long sleep was about to end.
At this time, the land that had been changed in color had spread to more than ten meters in radius.
Today's farming work is almost completed. The next step will be to continue to promote the evolution of the cyanobacter community, and strive to allow some dominant species to evolve into ribosomes as soon as possible to form a more complete protein system that can generate more types and larger amounts of proteins.
This will increase the average lifespan of new colonies and may even form nucleoids.
Single-celled organisms with nucleoids will have stronger proliferation ability and the proliferation offspring will be more stable and reliable.
Dinglingling...
The alarm clock rang.
When he got up and went out, Chen Xi was placing things on the dining table in his pajamas.
Xu Zhifeng glanced at him and found two bowls of meat and rice porridge!
He walked over and asked disbelief: "Do you eat two bowls today?"
Chen Xi glanced at him, "Is it your bowl, do you like to eat?"
Xu Zhifeng sat down excitedly, "Wow, that's the attitude. Yesterday I was so disgusted."
Chen Xi raised his foot and stepped on another chair casually, pressed his right elbow on his knees, shook his head and hair all over: "Isn't that true? Brother, I feel very uncomfortable too! Alas, I'm really suffering, what can I do in the future."
"Oh, I'll change shifts, Teacher Han is not bad either."
"Xiao Fengfeng... don't do this..."
"I'm damn. I'm wrong."
Xu Zhifeng's whole body was trembling as if he was shaking.
Outside, I knew she was acting, but she could barely accept it. At home, this lonely man and widowed man and woman were very different from her usual appearance, which was too distorted.
"By the way, I'll ask you something, what is the background of this kid Hu Dingxing?"
Xu Zhifeng asked casually.
Chen Xi must be clear about this matter.
"Hu Yuanlang's son, I thought you were Wen Xingtong, and there were people you didn't know."
Xu Zhifeng suddenly realized, "I remembered it."
Chen Xi asked in confusion: "Didn't you reconcile? Why are you still asking him for?"
Xu Zhifeng smiled, "Am I not curious? By the way, otherwise you might as well tell me what else is the matter of Xuan Shi."
Chen Xi curled his lips disdainfully, "If you don't say it, the feeling of listening with your ears is completely different from seeing with your eyes. If it is really like you said, then the Internet will clearly write it out. I'll tell you now, that's a harm to you."
"Okay, listen to you."
After breakfast, Chen Xi hurried out again. She didn't have to go to school today, so she could go to the motor team to get some field fees.
After she left, Xu Zhifeng slowly took out the little black book.
Hu Yuanlong, d.
Hu Dingxing, d.
The entire Hu family, d?
