4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
3091 Mr. R.S.
"Who am I? Where am I?"
There are very few creatures who know when they know themselves.
And this creature ... remembered this moment very clearly.
That is 'dark algae'.
In an age when the world was ancient, there was no time for multicellular organisms.
This group of creatures was already full of the ocean at that time, and their consciousness spread and split with their expanding numbers ... and formed countless communities.
The neural structure on them seems to be innate, but when the group is relatively small, they are unconscious.
When a group of dark algae accumulates to a certain size, the total weight is about one kilogram, they will realize ... themselves.
Unlike most intelligent creatures, most creatures will use this wisdom to fight for more things and obtain a better chance of survival when they first gain wisdom.
Dark algae did not do this ... and they would not do it.
Their thinking, and their behavior ... have no direct connection, which means they can look for food ... while imagining things that are unrelated.
Their nervous system ... to be precise is the collective consciousness they form together. They don't think for life, they only think about something special.
For example, when they are looking for food, they may be thinking why the sky is so high, when fighting the virus, they may be ... thinking why the seabed is so deep, and when they are eating the archaeal community, they may be thinking about where they are from. Come.
Their consciousness is full of thinking that has nothing to do with life ... but it also makes their life colorful.
In addition, the stress of life at that time was very small.
Dark algae have achieved the highest ecological status in the primitive ocean, and no ancient flora can compete with them, so they began to multiply at high speed and continue to grow throughout the ocean.
In the process of growing up, the only opponent they met was ... the same kind.
Each group of dark algae has its own consciousness, no matter how large their community grows, its consciousness is only one.
But if they meet other communities, their consciousness cannot be combined.
Also, if the original large community is divided into two or more, then a lot of new consciousness will be formed.
The consciousness between different dark algae communities ... will conflict with each other, mainly because they do not agree with each other's ideas.
Because these dark algae are thinking all the time, such as where they come from, what is water?What is the sea?What is everything in this world?What is day and night?
For all these questions, there is no way to find the answer.
So, dark algae began to create answers by themselves.
Some dark algae have the idea of similar creatures ... maybe everything was created by the gods.
Some dark algae have compiled a set of theories to explain various things and phenomena.
Some dark algae like to observe. They do not think about any theory or explain anything. They just want to obtain truth through long-term observation.
There are a few dark algae that try to start ... travel, they try to go to some places in the world that have not been visited, this is a group of dark algae whose thinking affects physical activity.
Because there are countless communities of dark algae, there are also countless kinds of their imagination. I do n’t know when to start ... When the two dark algae groups are in contact, they also discover that the other party has imagined and explained everything.
They immediately thought ... the other party was wrong.
Every dark algae consciousness has the emotion of 'absolute egocentricity'.
They all feel that their theories are correct, and other groups are wrong.
As long as the two groups find that each other's ideas are slightly different from their own, they will want to destroy the other to show their own ... the theory is absolutely correct.
So they started the war.
In this era of "dark algae war", almost all dark algae communities have really begun to influence their actions with thinking.
Before, they never used the nervous system to control the body, but that didn't mean they couldn't control it.
In fact, they can control their activities.
So, the war between the dark algae communities began ... Each one was to eliminate the other for the correctness of his theory.
In fact, whether they can win has nothing to do with their theory, it just depends on their community size.
It is a matter of course that large groups swallow small groups.
This was indeed the case in the early days of the war. Large groups were almost unstoppable ... and later, small groups began to do something special.
For example, they will deliberately agree with the theory of large groups to keep themselves alive.
This is very new, because all groups of dark algae have no common ideas.
Although some group theories are very close, as long as there are small differences, they will make them hostile to each other.
It was the first time that a group fully agreed with another group.
So those large groups accepted the small groups who agreed with them, and treated them as ... ministries.
While surviving, small groups try to strengthen themselves and devour large groups.
Some large groups also notice this kind of thing. They will first use small groups to fight for themselves, and immediately eat them when they find that they are going to become stronger.
In the later stages of this war ... it became a lot more complicated.
But the original intention of the war has not changed, that is, every group ... is insisting that its own theory is correct.
The war continued for a long time. At first, the dark algae's combat method was very simple, just like ordinary fungi.
Later, they will start to use various "weapons" to fight.
The most common weapons of their time were various archaea and viruses.
Some weaker dark algae groups have found ways to use other creatures as weapons under the attack of large groups.
Like the beasts of personality biology training in the future, they use archaea and viruses to attack the same kind.
After preliminary development, they even started to understand how to use archaea to assemble some huge weapons.
The weapons of these fungi are like organs of some creatures.
For example, ancient battleships like intestines, virus production factories like hearts, and cannons like ... noses.
Relying on these technologies, weak dark algae also have the ability to fight large communities.
Some dark algae have discovered ways to affect nuclear information and have begun to modify biological behavior.
However, communities without technology will immediately learn the skills of other communities to strengthen themselves.
Everything becomes more and more complicated ... the result becomes more and more unpredictable.
