Xu Zhi searched for a long time. The most outstanding one was a beetle-shaped creature.
"It has armor and is agile. The most important thing is that this creature also has armor on its head. It has no hair … You are the lucky one. You will become the bald overlord of the homo sapiens for the next era, or even several eras."
Xu Zhi picked up this ant-like beetle with metal pliers and put it into a transparent test tube.
Then he looked for food to feed this species. He came to a brand-new experimental field that was only one square meter in size and put it in.
Cell division speed: 10,000 times!
In a short period of time.
The number of their species multiplied wildly, died, and was reborn. The population suddenly reached hundreds of thousands.
Xu Zhi picked up a large number of transparent test tubes and placed them on the ground. "Come, obediently come to the tube and line up. One test tube for 300 beetles."
Influenced by the mother nest, the "ants" lined up and entered the test tube.
Then, Xu Zhi marked each test tube with an experimental number.
He diluted the blood of the gorilla and dropped drops of blood into each test tube. Then he controlled the mother nest to let them pierce the skin. Their body fluids and the gorilla blood fused together. The huge blood rejection reaction caused them to die instantly.
He was not a senior biologist. What he needed to do was simple and crude. Even a child could do it.
It was the survival of the fittest.
When the blood mixed, those that could not survive the blood rejection reaction would die!
After two days of testing, countless batches of test tubes, tens of millions of beetles died.
In the end, in the three test tube samples of 1042, 2041, and 2415, there were beetles that mutated and began to fuse with the gorilla blood. They successfully survived the genetic rejection reaction.
However, the ones that survived were not necessarily perfect genes. They could also be deformed.
Among the three test tubes, he selected the most successful test tube specimen, the test tube creature number 2041.
It was a tiny and delicate species that was smaller than an ordinary ant. It was hairy and looked like an ape with black armor. He named it Insect Ape. Unfortunately, it was not bald as Xu Zhi had imagined. Its body was full of hair, and the top of its head was also naturally full of hair.
This ape was in the transparent test tube, knocking on the glass wall and roaring in an unknown and strange voice.
Listening to the syllables, what was the bottom?
"Lie Di!"
"Balding!"
"Balding!"
…
The voice gradually turned into a familiar word.
"????"
Xu Zhi was dumbfounded.
I wanted to make you bald, but instead, you had a head full of thick black hair, and you even crazily mocked me for being Balding?
Brother, you've gone too far!
Balding was obviously a short-term aftereffect of chemotherapy. After stopping chemotherapy and resting for a month, hair would grow back.
One look and you could tell that it wasn't a good species.
Xu Zhi took a deep breath and felt that he should crush it to death. "I may be the only creature in the world that was created by myself. Mocking the bald creator."
It had just been born, yet it dared to mock the great creator who had given it life?
What kind of treason was this?
The personality of this species was bound to be cruel, vile, crazy, warlike, and a scourge to all living beings. It had to be eliminated!
But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, the survival of the fittest had only given birth to a mutated species. He couldn't kill it now. He would endure its mockery and record it in his notebook before killing it.
And this poor creature completely didn't expect that after it was born, its instinctive roar would make a vengeful and petty creator hold a grudge against it. The future era would bring a disastrous fate to its species.
"Little brother, let's settle this score in the future …"
Xu Zhi took a deep breath and put it back into the experimental field, allowing this ape to reproduce.
Accelerated cell division: 10,000 times!
This strange ape died quickly, ending its sinful life of roaring "Balding". In a short period of time, it quickly reproduced into a group of tens of thousands. They walked on the ground like a nest of black ants.
"Balding!"
"Balding!"
"Balding!"
The delicate and tiny ape walked unconsciously in the sand table. They faced the giant in the sky and ran around happily, letting out collective roars.
"Are you poisonous?" Xu Zhi was speechless. After putting in the orangutan gene, he planned to put in a second gene, the white ant gene.
This time, he failed.
He repeated the process more than 70 times, destroying hundreds of thousands of ape's "Balding" life, but he didn't succeed in fusing with the termite gene even once.
"It should be because the species level is too low and can't accommodate too many genes at once."
Helpless, he could only put aside the termite gene and let these ape split 10,000 times faster, multiplying in large numbers, waiting for them to develop their own intelligence and civilization.
But no matter how many generations these ape reproduced, they still looked like they had no intelligence at all. They still roared "Balding", "Balding".
Xu Zhi thought about it and suddenly realized.
"I'm really stupid. If a person only has a lifespan of 10 seconds to accelerate cell division by 10,000 times, how will they have time to think? To create civilization? Language? Words?
"Should I adjust the speed of cell division back to normal? But it will take too long for them to reproduce normally. Humans need thousands of years to give birth to civilization! "He started to search for information in the mother nest, feeling that there must be a solution.
As expected, there really was one.
According to the unit of counting of the insect race, one time was one year.
Cell division 10,000 times faster was equivalent to 10,000 years in a day.
This kind of acceleration, birth, mating, and death in a few seconds, would leave no time for creatures to think. Their brains simply couldn't withstand such a terrifying speed of division. They could only rely on a huge base number and instinctively adapt to the environment.
However, when the cell division was adjusted to 100 times, another change would occur.
At this time, the brain of the creature began to be able to withstand the division speed of 100 times. The brain cells and neurons of the brain would accelerate their thinking speed by 100 times.
"Their bodies are accelerated by 100 times, and their thinking speed is also accelerated by 100 times. This is equivalent to their time flow being accelerated by 100 times …" Xu Zhi thought about it and ordered the mother nest.
"For this area, cell division speed: 100 times."
After adjusting the speed of cell division, these ant-sized ape's thinking speed was 100 times faster, and their movements actually kept up with their brains.
This was because every cell in their body was crazily dividing by 100 times, releasing energy by burning their life force, making their movements extremely fast, as if they had opened the Eight Inner Hidden Gates.
At this time, the entire sand table seemed to be living in a world of accelerated time, turning into a blur.
He suddenly became curious and asked the sub-brain of the mother nest:
"Can I carry out cell division 100 times faster myself?"
The mother nest replied mechanically:
"No, this is a unique racial ability of the insect race. After transplanting insect cells, cell division can be carried out 100 times faster … At that time, the brain cells will be in a state of 100 times faster division, and the world will be slowed down by 100 times. Moreover, cell division 100 times faster in every part of the body will release a powerful force, and the movement will also keep up with the accelerated thinking."
The synchronization of movement and thinking was equivalent to the acceleration of the entire person's life force by 100 times?
Was it really the berserk state of burning life force?
Xu Zhi thought about it and shook his head:
"Right now, my cancer cells will also divide 100 times faster. I will probably die instantly in the late stages of cancer, right?"
At this time, Xu Zhi spent two days experimenting with the insect apes. On the other side of the sand table, under the 10,000 times acceleration, it was equivalent to another 20,000 years. Some powerful species had already appeared.
The trees towered into the clouds.
A large number of giant species appeared, entering a terrifying era similar to the Jurassic Period.
The largest were the beasts, the shelled beasts with a black disc on their heads. They had reached the upper limit of the size set by Xu Zhi, which was the size of a cat.
Such a size on the insect apes, which were only the size of ants, was like a human encountering a giant ancient Tyrannosaurus rex that was nearly 100 meters long.
"I wonder how they will survive?"
Xu Zhi thought about it and began to directly slow down the cell division speed of the sand table to 100 times, which was able to withstand the speed of thinking. After all, it had to be synchronized.
"The experiment is complete. Find a place in the sand table and put these ancient insect apes."
Stepping on the blue shoes used in the laboratory, Xu Zhi held the 300 insect apes in a transparent test tube and walked on the ground of the orchard. On the ground of the orchard, there were small green and delicate valleys and small lush forests.
The trees began to collapse, the ground shook, and countless species in the deep forest fled frantically.
"Let's do it here."
Xu Zhi put these experimental insect apes in a large canyon surrounded by green trees to the south of the sand table.
