Chapter 36: Chapter 36 The Desire to Survive
After meditating for a long time, Huo Gu still made that choice - to create a real macro life!
The rhizome grows and spreads towards the channel along with the ocean. This process is very slow compared with the spreading speed of the rhizome growing in other directions. The resistance caused by the influx of seawater is the biggest difficulty in upward growth. Each rhizome needs to grow a large number of roots and plunge deep into the rock wall to ensure that it will not be The sea rushed back.
Hard objects involved in the vortex are also an obstacle to the spread of the rhizome, such as gravel, stones, glazed fragments, det-footed titanium snails, etc. At the acceleration provided by the vortex, they will hit the rock wall at a speed of 14 kilometers per hour. The rhizome skin is like a hot knife for cheese, which has no defense.
For this reason, Huo Gu had to thicken and strengthen the rhizome.
On the other hand, Huo Gu began to build a specific model framework for designing macro life in his thinking. The first is to build the core, just like the foundation of a high-rise building and the keel of the steel wheel, which are absolutely indispensable parts.
What is the core of macro life?
It is the carrier of thinking, that is, the brain, the habitat of life, which feeds on entropy.
Of course, it can\'t be the human brain\'s operation of 1x10^30 times per second, and it can\'t remember and store trillion pieces of information, but the most primitive and simple can only be organs, which can automatically give feedback on external changes.
In fact, in essence, this self-feedback function is available in every cell and every microorganism. Although there are no neurons, it can make subjective feedback to the outside world through the ion channels formed by proteins in the cells.
Ion channels are also a key way for neurons to communicate and send signals. It allows information to be transmitted between nerve cells, which is a bit like a charge passing through a wire, and every response made by the brain is based on this communication method.
In a sense, neurons are based on an upgraded version of this ion channel. Electrons that can transmit and carry information per unit distance time get an exponential increase, that is, the feeling of upgrading ordinary broadband to optical fiber broadband.
What Huo Gu wants to do is just to enlarge the template in the cell, move the microstructure to the macroscopic to become an organ, and improve its original performance. In addition to the fine-tuning of small details, this process is roughly right.
But it\'s not that simple. Just like now, Huo Gu has encountered a problem that makes it helpless.
"Intelligent organs are really no problem, but... how can I make the designed macrobiotics understand the concept of \'I\'?"
\'I\' is the foundation of thinking. If the concept of \'I\' is extended, there will be emotions such as fear, hunger, anger, like, pleasure... and so on. It is the beginning of understanding and thinking, even the beast that drinks blood is no exception.
However, it is extremely difficult for Huo Gu to make the macro-life realize the concept of \'I\', because it has no knowledge about this, nor did human beings at the beginning. The concept of consciousness of \'I\' is still in the stage of research and exploration.
Obviously, this road doesn\'t work.
Huo Gu reorganized his own ideas, and he wanted to find a new design idea.
"Life is a phenomenon. In order for this phenomenon to be maintained, they will need to absorb entropy from the outside world, so their internal entropy will be constant or change very little, and the increase of external entropy will increase..."
"The first can extend the concept, that is, \'life can do whatever it takes to exist\'. This concept can explain why life is afraid of death, which is the root of \'desire to survive\'."
"This desire is above any emotion except the concept of \'I\'. It is an instinct in instinct. It is precisely because of this that the life of the earth can be passed on for billions of years."
After sorting out the rules, Huo Gu suddenly realized something, the driving force that drives life to keep moving forward.
Those two words quickly amplified in its mind - desire."...Maybe, I don\'t have to make them realize \'I\' first. It doesn\'t matter if they can\'t even meet the most basic requirements of drinking blood. Basically, I need them to work actively, not the \'intelligence\' of engaging in mental activities."
"So, I can take advantage of desire to survive..."
The idea gradually became clear, and Huo Gu began to put this idea into the design.
"Yes, just like the so-called symbiotic relationship, it can weaken the stomach of microbial collectors so that they can only digest a specific type of amino acid, so that the collected organic materials are essentially useless to them."
"The output of this specific type of amino acid is handed over to the rhizome system. In this way, in order to survive, those collectors of organic materials must constantly provide organic materials for the rhizome system."
"Variability is extremely high. There are many examples on the earth, such as bees,
They are also contaminated with pollen when picking nectar. In this way, they can complete the pollination between flowers."
For individuals collecting organic materials, Huo Gu chose the gourd as the template. The part where the brain exists is placed in the area of the original perceptual cells by Huo Gu. Other functional components are still the same, but there is an extra stomach at the front end of the water storage cavity, and the absorption of the inner cell membrane is also limited.
At the moment when the design was completed, Huo Gu suddenly showed a strong sense of guilt. Its behavior seemed to be very similar to that of the slave owners in the old feudal era...
Huo Gu hurriedly waved away this terrible idea.
"No, how can I be that kind of villain?"
"At most, this is just the company\'s business model. You have to work to get paid. The boss is not a fairy who can get something out of nothing. At least the slave owner will not care about the life and death of the slaves, and even use it for fun. I have medical insurance here. If any of them is injured or sick, I will provide them with the best medical service. This kind of blessing There is not even a human society. How can it be the same?"
Even if he knew that only it could hear it, Huo Gu still defended himself in this way.
The sample of the first collector was squeezed out of the meat cavity of the conical creature.
The newly out collector is very small, about one-tenth of an adult\'s slap, and he doesn\'t move, as if Huo Gu\'s design failed.
Huo Gu was not in a hurry. He put a little special amino acid into the water, and the collector who sensed these amino acids immediately moved.
It clumsily swings the fins on both sides and finally completes the first eating behavior in its life.
This performance of the collector means that Huo Gu\'s design idea is not wrong.
