Ten minutes passed in the petri dish. When converted into petri dish time, about thirty thousand years passed, and his lifespan was reduced by another twenty minutes.

Under such a terrifying flow of time, earth-shaking changes took place in the petri dish.

"The speed is too fast. I can only see a rough outline. The birth and death of species cannot be observed at all. I only know that countless cells have died..."

Under microscope observation, Yang Shou was unable to record experiments well, but 30,000 years later, a strange species suddenly emerged in the garbage soil.

Because it was taken from the earth's soil, the soil originally contained genes and cells of earth species. However, after three thousand years, these cells exhausted the organic matter in the soil and suddenly faced a crisis of lack of food.

The energy of all things is conserved. Without food, we will starve to death, and a new round of natural selection begins.

Most of the cells were starved to death, and a small number of cells chose to sleep, sealing their cell walls and membranes, waiting for the day when the environment recovers to wake up.

But even if you are sleeping, you still consume energy, even if it is very low.

After ten thousand years have passed, 99% of the cell walls of the sleeping cells will begin to dry out and die.

But the miracle of life still happened. The survival instinct caused these cells to begin to transform themselves and evolve.

They gave up the structure of the cell wall and chose to transform the cell wall into an organ that specialized in absorbing small molecules free in the air.

Yang Shou did not seal the petri dishes. They relied on this function to survive in an environment without food.

Ten thousand years have passed again, and the entire culture dish is filled with this new type of cells.

They reproduce rapidly, but even if air circulates outside the petri dish, the free substances in the air are not enough to support the uncontrolled reproduction of such cells.

The development of cells fell into a bottleneck period that lasted for 10,000 years, and when Yang Shou picked up the microscope to observe, 30,000 years had passed.

In the 30,000th year, in order to obtain more food and strengthen the race, this group of cells even tried to evolve legs, move their position, and actively search for food.

Maybe because their obsession with getting food is too strong, they have evolved a total of sixteen legs!

"Centipede? Are these the cells of centipedes on Earth?"

Yang Shou frowned, and every cell grew fluffy legs, squirming crazily, and from the garbage soil, part of it rushed to the land and part of it rushed to the ocean.

Through the microscope, Yang Shou saw cells moving rapidly in an accelerated state. The death of generations of cells caused them to split into two parts and settle on land and ocean.

"The ocean is the cradle of life because seawater is rich in organic matter. Cells on land have chosen a wrong path."

Yang Shou also focused on the observation of the ocean. Those cells that left their homes and left the garbage dump met another demise in the ocean.

Even if they have no concept of breathing and will not drown, most of them die because they absorb too much water and expand.

A new species extinction has begun, and less than 10% of the cells have survived, continuing a new round of adaptation to the environment and continuous evolution.

In the sea water, there was plenty of food, and in the 40,000th year, marine cells multiplied crazily and filled the entire ocean.

And the terrestrial cells, because they found new food, also became the overlord of the land.

The fuzz on the legs of the ocean cells is green, so the entire ocean becomes the color of forgiveness.

In order to adapt to the ocean environment, the physique of ocean cells has become softer and their defenses have decreased. However, correspondingly, the efficiency of food absorption and utilization has become much higher.

On the contrary, terrestrial cells have improved their defense and evolved a hard shell to cope with the complex terrain environment on land.

In the 300,000th year of the evolution of petri dishes, marine cells finally experienced a huge change.

A small number of cells actually fused by chance, and the leg hairs of dozens of ocean cells fused with each other, tightly intertwining them.

After countless fusions and deaths, new types of creatures eventually evolved.

Due to the fusion of sixteen legs, the surviving creature has only one leg, and the villi are chimeric, resulting in a new creature with legs all over its body.

"A new type of cell is born."

Yang Shou was a little surprised that this "ancient creature" was born under his own witness.

If the cells of the previous sixteen legs still have the shadow and genes of earth creatures, slow down the current legworms, after 300,000 years of evolution, they have become an independent "alien species" -----

Petri dish species.

After 300,000 years of evolution, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are alien species. They are extremely different from earth species in both their internal and external structures.

"After the emergence of composite organisms, what will be their next development direction?"

Marine cells have legs that can eat and walk, but they still face a food crisis. If they want to evolve again, they must obtain more food.

Neither the air nor the ocean was enough to support them in obtaining more food, so the cores of these cells began to transform, giving up the animal-type eating method, imitating plants and starting to produce chloroplast-like substances to perform photosynthesis and feed on sunlight.

Mimics plants getting nutrients from sunlight.

It was the afternoon, and Yang Shou was doing experiments in the yard. The warm sunlight provided a source of food for the cells in the petri dish.

Gradually, the entire ocean was filled with a green plant that could twist its body, swim in the ocean for food and perform photosynthesis, a plant with a multi-cell structure similar to algae.

"Now that it is able to provide self-sufficient oxygen, it is time to completely isolate the petri dish to prevent the entry of earth air."

Yang Shou completely sealed the petri dish, artificially created a world different from the earth's environment, and continued to observe their development.

If they don't do this, Earth's civilization will have too great an impact on them.

What he wants is a different species evolution, so that it is possible to evolve a civilized path that can cure his cancer.

Moreover, he has been using the ability to accelerate time, which will reduce his lifespan to half of his previous life. This means that he will have to find a way to solve the cancer problem within one and a half months.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Shou continued to observe. Two hours had passed, which was the 360,000th year of the petri dish world.

The dissatisfied ocean that occupied the marine algae plants tried to invade the land and started a battle for survival with another group of compatriots from more than 300,000 years ago.

However, algae cannot break the turtle shell of the land cells, and the land cells have sixteen legs and move very fast.

The hard carapace is responsible for defense, and the sixteen legs are responsible for offense. In an instant, the algae plants that climbed onto the land began to collapse.

But as time went by, with the crazy development of numbers, the algae made up for the quality gap with quantity, killing the terrestrial cells.

There is no way. Terrestrial cells reproduce too slowly due to food reasons, while algae plants rely on photosynthesis and can reproduce indefinitely. The difference in numbers between the two is too big.

At this point, the petri dish has entered the age of marine life, and algae have become the protagonists of this era, the well-deserved overlord, and have a tendency to spread towards the glass walls around the petri dish, trying to climb out of the petri dish.

Is this okay?

Yang Shou silently took a basin of boiling water, made a small opening in the petri dish, and flooded the entire petri dish.

The era of algae is over.

"Experimental record: In the ancient divine grass era, algae and marine plants were boundless and spread throughout the world. They even found an invisible ladder leading to the divine world. They attempted to reach the sky, angered the gods of heaven and earth, and rained down boundless boiling water, destroying the world."

Yang Shou took out his notebook and recorded this short-lived era.

Really, this race is too inflated. It has legs, it has occupied the land, and it still wants to go to heaven?

Even if you are allowed to escape, who knows if it will cause a butterfly effect on the earth's environment.

Absolutely not allowed!

Yang Shou observed silently, waiting for the next evolution of species.

In the 380,000th year, with the extinction of algae marine life, the next species was born. A kind of invertebrate reptile with legs was born from countless algae corpses and boiling water. They were born to withstand high temperatures and had six legs.

The hard shell fused with ancient terrestrial cells began a mighty journey of exploring the world.

"Animals, animals finally appear!"

The emergence of animals requires sufficient food and other survival foundations, and the endless corpses of algae plants are their best breeding ground.

"You really have the algae to thank."

Yang Shou took a deep breath and named this four-legged, hard-shelled creature a hard beetle.

Being invertebrate means that there is no emotion and consciousness, and there is still a long way to go before intelligent creatures.

But Yang Shou was already very satisfied. Watching species evolve and become extinct, in just two hours, more than 300,000 years of evolution, he witnessed too much splendor compared to a human's short period of a hundred years.

But because of the acceleration of time, he couldn't observe it all the time and could only see an outline.

"In a long time, I will definitely be able to find a way to survive."

He still has 1.9 billion years left!

Petri dishes, because of the legacy of algae plants, have begun to enter the era of the biological explosion.

All kinds of creatures have begun to diversify their evolution. Aquatic and terrestrial plants have inherited the photosynthesis of algae plants and spread throughout the petri dish continent.

Various invertebrate creatures were born in every corner of the petri dish. Every time Yang Shou took a breath, creatures were born and died.

"No, the petri dish is too small to accommodate the explosion of species."

Yang Shou discovered the key problem. It is still in the early stages. The largest creature in the petri dish is no more than the size of a little finger. But as time goes by, creatures as big as dinosaurs on the earth will appear sooner or later.

Are they born in their own petri dish, which is 40 centimeters long, wide, and high?

It’s scary just thinking about it!

But Yang Shou didn't think of a way to solve this problem for a while. He could only witness the explosive evolution of living things, with a variety of small ants, grasses, and trees occupying space in the petri dish.

In the 450,000th year, countless original small species were born in the petri dish. From the outside, the petri dish was crawling with ants.

Finally, these species discovered the end of the world and there was no way to expand. They found the invisible ladder and tried to reach the sky.

"hehe."

Yang Shou smiled emotionally, brought another basin of boiling water, and flooded the petri dish.
