Blue Star, a planet that has existed for 4.55 billion years, holds far more secrets than people imagine.
There are many, many more special organisms like Volcano Blue-Green Algae on Blue Star.
Why are Volcano Blue-Green Algae considered special? Because these cyanobacteria belong to both organic and inorganic life forms, and can even switch between the two.
When the environment is harsh, these Volcano Blue-Green Algae will transform into inorganic life forms, which can sustain life by absorbing heat and light energy.
When the environment is relatively comfortable, it will transform into an organic life form.
They can survive through Photosynthesis and also consume plankton to ensure their energy supply.
In other words, this thing can be either a plant or an animal.
The reason it has remained undiscovered for so long is that it is difficult to detect when this Volcano Blue-Green Algae switches between different forms.
It is Volcano blue coral, it is Volcano Blue-Green Algae, it is Volcano blue nematode.
People have seen many forms of Volcano Blue-Green Algae, but they never knew that these were actually all the same organism, different forms of Volcano Blue-Green Algae.
The scientist named Bates also accidentally discovered the morphological switching process of Volcano Blue-Green Algae.
They then discovered Ancient Gene within Volcano Blue-Green Algae, which are the Ancient Gene that allow Volcano Blue-Green Algae to freely switch between various forms.
"Extracting this segment of Ancient Gene is not easy; it must be done at a temperature of -255 degrees Celsius. Only at this temperature will the Ancient Gene be extracted independently."
-255 degrees Celsius, which is close to Absolute Zero, or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
This is why Ling Yi requires a Level 5 laboratory; ordinary laboratory equipment is difficult to operate normally at this temperature.
At this moment, Ling Yi is typing code on his Computer.
To be precise, it involves Programming all the CNC equipment in the laboratory.
"Are you planning to use the devouring Fusion effect of this Ancient Gene to eliminate the cancer cells in your brain?" Bai Jinshan frowned.
"Yes, the cancer cells in my brain have spread widely, and it's difficult to save myself through conventional methods. I can only try other approaches."
" Ancient Gene can perfectly Fusion with any gene, granting the organism extremely strong adaptability after Fusion."
"The ability to switch between organic and inorganic life forms is enough to demonstrate the power of this Ancient Gene."
"Of course, it's all just theory. We'll only know the results after the experiments."
Bai Jinshan nodded; he naturally understood this principle.
Everything depends on the experimental results.
At this moment, Bai Jinshan was fiddling with a large tank containing freshly delivered Volcano Blue-Green Algae.
When this thing is soaking in water, it looks like Tuantuan of blue cesium sponge.
"If Ancient Gene are really that powerful, then this Volcano Blue-Green Algae should be incredibly strong. According to you, it can perfectly devour Fusion other genes, so wouldn't it be invincible?"
Director Bao asked curiously.
"It's probably because the conditions haven't been met. To devour Fusion other genes and complete evolution, there must be certain conditions required," Ling Yi explained.
Bai Jinshan nodded and said, "That makes sense. Otherwise, these Volcano Blue-Green Algae would probably have evolved into the most terrifying creatures on Blue Star long ago, ruling the Blue Star."
"So, where do you think the Ancient Gene in these Volcano Blue-Green Algae came from?" Director Bao asked again.
"Where did you come from?" Bai Jinshan didn't understand what Director Bao meant.
" Director Bao means that these Ancient Gene are not inherent to the Volcano Blue-Green Algae themselves, but rather they may have originated from some powerful ancient creature," Ling Yi said.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
"Perhaps. After all, humanity knows too little about Blue Star. Perhaps powerful beings truly existed in ancient times." Bai Jinshan nodded.
"Is it possible that the ancient palaces on the moon were built by these ancient creatures?"
Upon hearing Director Bao's words, both Ling Yi and Bai Jinshan were taken aback.
"Ancient gods?" Bai Jinshan shook his head. "We'll only know after the Ancient Gene are extracted."
At 8:22 a. m. on June 9, all preparations were completed.
Ling Yi took a deep breath, looked at Bai Jinshan, and said, " Elder Bai, you start it up!"
Bai Jinshan shook his head. "You are the one who leads this experiment, so naturally you should start."
Ling Yi didn't refuse any longer and pressed the Enter key. Immediately, the laboratory was filled with the hum of machinery.
"The temperature continues to drop, it's currently -35.9 degrees Celsius, and the cyanobacteria haven't shown any Changes," Bai Jinshan said, looking at the images transmitted from the high-powered electron microscope on his Computer.
"At -79.45 degrees Celsius, cyanobacteria cells swell."
Ling Yi frowned. At such a temperature, the cyanobacteria Yu Bing. To be precise, the cyanobacteria's organisms had been destroyed, and theoretically, they were already dead.
This is normal; Ling Yi and his team only extracted genes.
The temperature continued to drop until it finally stopped at -255 degrees Celsius.
The crucial part is what follows.
All three of them stared at the Computer screen, which displayed a gene image magnified more than 4,000 times and Simulation using a Simulation model.
Simply magnifying the image 4000 times only reveals the molecular structure. Therefore, Computer needs to use algorithms to Simulation the gene structure in order to see the gene image more intuitively.
"Damn it, is this a genetic image?" Bai Jinshan suddenly cursed.
Because the so-called Ancient Gene on the Computer screen are completely different from traditional gene images.
It's a double helix, but what it ultimately spirals out of is a Tai Chi Diagram.
Although it's not perfectly round, it looks remarkably like the Tai Chi Diagram.
At the two fish tail positions of the Tai Chi Diagram, there are other normal gene segments, which are the regular double helix gene segments.
If you reduce the magnification, you'll find that these Ancient Gene are like tiny nodes, connecting other genes into a network.
Indeed, the gene chains of these Volcano Blue-Green Algae actually form a gene network.
This is a major violation of the genetic structure of conventional organisms.
Next comes the process of extracting Ancient Gene.
"The process of Extraction and extracting the genes is quite lengthy, estimated to take at least 8 hours."
Eight hours later, it's 4 PM.
" Professor Bai, Director Bao, you should go and rest. I'll keep an eye on things here," Ling Yi said.
"You should go and rest too!" Bai Jinshan.
Ling Yi shook his head. "No need, I want to keep watching. Besides, you all know I can't sleep; if I fall asleep, it will restart."
Director Bao shook his head and said, "I just want you to rest, not to fall asleep. Even just closing your eyes and resting for a while would be good."
"Besides, aren't you going to eat? This thing is automatic anyway, go eat first, then rest for a while."
Ling Yi yawned and said, "Alright!"
Extracting genes takes time, so there's no point in just waiting here.
Perfect timing! Ling Yi used this time to learn some other skills.
The headquarters of the Special Incident Bureau was huge, much larger than Ling Yi had imagined.
Ling Yi originally thought that the base was just a hollowed-out mountain, but in reality, the base had been dug down more than Wu Bai meters.
That's absolutely outrageous.
This also sparked Ling Yi's intense interest in the Special Incident Bureau.
The Special Incident Bureau wouldn't be so foolish as to build such a massive base, especially considering it houses various top-notch laboratories and researchers.
Therefore, the issues that the Special Incident Bureau has to deal with are definitely not simple.
In the base's canteen area, Ling Yi, Bai Jinshan, Director Bao, and Gu Yun were having lunch.
" Ling Yi, I've prepared the equipment. When you restart, you'll need to enter the equipment beforehand. Is that alright?" Gu Yun asked.
"No!"
"That's good. I think we should have a pretty good harvest this time." Gu Yun said with a hint of excitement, his full Whitebeard trembling with his excitement.
"By the way, Ling Yi, you've restarted so many times, have you gained any special insights into time?" Gu Yun asked casually, not expecting Ling Yi to give any definite answer.
"Hmm, time isn't a straight line, it's an arc," Ling Yi said after thinking for a moment. He was surrounded by scientific geniuses, and although he possessed a vast amount of knowledge, he only had theory, not practice.
Perhaps we can gain some inspiration from them.
"Huh? Time is an arc? How can time be an arc? How did you come to this conclusion?"
This conclusion greatly surprised Gu Yun.
In conventional thinking, time is an axis, seemingly a linear axis, and one that can only extend infinitely backward. How could it possibly be an arc?
"I'm now trapped in an infinite time loop, like a repeating branch has appeared on the main timeline."
"Logically speaking, I should belong to the character timeline, which is already outside the main timeline."
"Yes, is there a problem with that?"
"However, my testing shows that what I did during the reboot period still affects the main timeline after the reboot."
"How did you test it?" Gu Yun asked curiously.
"My initial restart cycle was 24 hours later, from 7:25:30 on the No. 7 to 7:25:30 on the No. 8."
"But if I do something big during the restart period, I can extend the restart time, so it's been extended from one day to three days."
"Is this a big deal?" Director Bao asked.
"Yes, big things, the bigger the better."
"So what big things have you done before?"
"I launched Amai Chou's fireworks into the Radiant Water Country."
"Wow, really?" Director Bao was shocked. They'd launched Amai Chou's giant fireworks into the Radiant Water Country?
That's incredibly daring!
"Young man, you're really something."
"How did you do that?"
"Hacking techniques."
He paused, then added, "I've also exposed all the scandals in the entertainment industry, and it was precisely this script that confirmed the timing of the arc."
"How so?" Gu Yun asked.
"When I broke the news, it wasn't instantaneous. I edited all the gossip into a video, and it was automatically published after the computer was restarted."
"You mean parallel timelines can have subsequent effects on the main timeline?" Gu Yun immediately understood Ling Yi's meaning.
