Chapter 3030: Poems of life! (1/2)
No one knows exactly how lightning life appeared, just as no one knows how the original organic molecules such as amino acids were born from the crazy collisions and fierce reactions of inorganic substances. In short, in the atmosphere of ancient giant stars over the past billions of years, fierce energy Waves were released and exploded in the form of lightning countless times. Relying on incredible coincidences, lightning caught some unusual particles-rare elements from the depths of ancient giant stars or outer space, such as argon, and so on.
When the strong lightning penetrates the core of the argon element, it is immediately vaporized by the extremely high temperature into crystal clear and perfect plasma balls. The free electrons with negative charges form its outer layer, which carries a positive charge. Ions form its inner layer, and the inner and outer layers form a clear boundary, but they allow energy to circulate and transform freely, just like the membrane and wall of biological cells, a great yin and yang that can communicate with the heavens and the earth.
In other words, the coincidence of countless lightning surges created a miracle of life, a gaseous, pure energy, and plasma ”cell”.
Of course, this ”plasma cell” is not the same as a cell in the sense of carbon-based life, and it does not have the so-called ”genetic material”.
However, the form of life is inherently gorgeous and colorful. Genetic information does not need to be transmitted by genes. The five definitions of cells are defined-capable of self-replication, capable of transmitting information, having a metabolic mechanism, capable of self-growth, and having a clear boundary separate from the outside world. Conditions, ”plasma cells” are all met.
Although at the beginning, its ”life” can only last a few subtleties, but in its short and brilliant life, it can also continuously draw energy from the outside world, expand and even split. It can stretch out the tentacles of lightning and move the surrounding area. The neutral elements, such as argon, helium, and even methane, ethane, etc., are adsorbed, adding their own energy response, glowing colorful light, and even splitting themselves into two different plasma cells , Every plasma cell carries the same electromagnetic characteristics.
It can even transmit information by radiating electromagnetic wave energy into other plasma cells, so that the atoms in each plasma cell maintain the same oscillation frequency.
If this is not a ”cell” and this is not a ”life”, then what is the meaning of the definition of life?
Li Yao noticed that this kind of wonderful lightning elves did not appear for a long time, far less than the glorious 100,000-year history of human civilization, and it is even more incomparable with the civilization of Pangu civilization or even the ”black wall maker” hundreds of millions of years ago. Up.
Their ”history” is only about two to three thousand years.
Two or three thousand years ago, that was the time when the two high-quality stars close to the ancient giant star entered the end of their lives and began to bloom violently, and the signs of ”supernova explosion” appeared.
Perhaps it was the dying violent ejection of matter and energy that injected new vitality into the atmosphere of the ancient giant star before the star's decay, which led to the birth of these lightning elves.
They are out and about, ”children of the sun.”
Although they only have a history of two to three thousand years, they have crossed the journey of carbon-based intelligent life that took hundreds of millions of years to complete.
Their lives are short and fierce. Each lightning pierces the sky of the ancient giant star. It can only last a few seconds to ten seconds at most. Within ten seconds of this sparkling stone fire, hundreds of millions of plasmas Cells are born in lightning. Lightning is their river of life and their eternal destination. They will continue to absorb various elements in the atmosphere within a dozen seconds, try new discharge structures and electromagnetic binding force fields, and try to Let themselves and the lightning last longer, even a microsecond. If they fail to do this, they will split and multiply crazily, and try to ”jump” to another lightning that has just been born before the lightning is annihilated. on.
”Survive, survive, survive!”
Li Yao seemed to be able to hear that the newly born plasma cells roared with infinite desire in the ”cracking” arc.
That's right, the meaning of life is definitely not just survival, but if you can't even survive the original, then no amount of meaning can be found.
At the source of any life just born, especially at such a harsh and cruel source, survival itself is the only meaning.
Every brain cell of Li Yao was surrounded by lightning.
He is full of respect and ”appreciates” this poem of life that has lasted for thousands of years and hundreds of millions of years.
He ”sees” that countless plasma cells are holding on to just a few subtle lives, constantly adsorbing and swallowing the surrounding elements, trying to use various elements and atomic oscillation frequencies to form the cornerstone of his life.
Among them, 99.99% of the attempts ended in failure. Those plasma cells that swallowed the wrong element and used the wrong oscillation frequency were instantly annihilated, not even a single ripple was left. In exchange, 0.001% of the lucky ones were able to destroy them. His life lasted more than 0.001 microseconds.
