<h4>Chapter 2: Insto</h4>


    Split again - this is the next purpose of action for life after calling fruitlessly.


    In response to the surging and magnificent forces in the dark, the single cell stabilizes its shape as much as possible, so that it can maintain a rtively stable state.


    The split begins again.


    Repeating the previous process, in the darkness of time, the self-replication of living organisms soon reached the final stage.


    The feeling of shackles untied emerges again, and even the living body can feel that the dark world around it is bing different.


    When the separation outer membrane ispletely formed, the two single cells begin to gradually separate, and the shackles appear and slowly lock.


    The easy feeling is slowly disappearing, reced by an unspeakable sense of stagnation. The organism does not want to ept such a thing, and it also wants to continue to maintain this.


    "...Don''t go."


    Life calls so instinctively.


    There should be no reaction, but there are so many strange things in the world.


    The sub-body that has not beenpletely separated from the mother body actively fits together with the body of life. Those surging forces be the force that is suitable for life after the shape of the body is properly changed.


    "I''m so happy..."


    "...What is ''happy''?"


    As always, it can''t answer the questions.


    When the living body turns its attention to itself, it suddenly finds that it can ''see'' more things.


    At first, it could only rely on feeling to ''see'' to a point.


    Then, after being attacked by the bacteriophage, what you can see extends from the point to your whole body.


    Now, the vision in the dark world has been expanded again, and it can see the whole internal situation of the sub-body close to itself.


    Yes, this is a change, the same change as before.


    The living body is happy about this. It doesn''t understand why it is happy, but its instinct feels like this, so it follows this instinct.


    "I want more... more changes..."


    This is desire, and living beings have learned ''desire'' unconsciously.


    Driven by this desire, it wants to continue to replicate itself.


    Self-replicating materials are not scarce. They are everywhere in the dark. Every time they are moved by force, life can always hit a pile of such things.


    With the help of the replicator close to the parent, the living body quickly collected all the materials needed.


    "More...more..."


    In the biological current of the pleasure of living beings, a new split begins.


    In the dark world, two more members of each other were suddenly added, and the children also copied themselves under themand of living beings.


    Then came the double sense of impact of unshackles.


    "A lot... It''s great..."


    Enjoying this feeling ofprehensive upgrade, the untie of the ''shackles'' is apanied by more and more fresh things. Compared with the hazy feeling of being alone, everything seems to be gradually bing organized.


    What follows is a greater desire, which drives living beings to act.


    Just the closeness of four individuals can feel the current level, so what will happen if more individuals are copied into a group?


    The organism can''t wait to start self-replicating behavior.


    The four are gradually split into eight, apanied by endless freshness,fort after clear thinking, and other countless and difficult feelings.


    These feelings make the living body deeply fascinated, eat the marrow and know the taste, and can''t stop.


    Unfortunately, these feelings did notst long.


    A spiral power wraps eight clinged cells, and the fragile single-cell polymer will usher in the fate of disintegration.


    "No!"


    The living body resisted, but it was just useless work. No matter how it changed its shape, it could not resist the power emerging in the darkness.


    Around it, once again, there was only one individual left, drifting aimlessly.


    From heaven to hell.


    "...unsult..."


    It has tried to form a group of life with seven children, and once again feels the situation of a single individual, but it is more ufortable and difficult. It doesn''t want to stay in this situation for even a quarter of an hour.


    The replication action continues, and now this desire is stronger and stronger than before.


    When the new child appears, while enjoying the clear mind, the living body realizes that the empty shell of the mild bacteriophage is still firmly attached to its outside and is not thrown away by the sudden force like other children.


    "Why haven''t you been separated?"


    With such a question, the living body began to observe the empty shell of the phage.


    "The six scaffold tailsposed of proteins are connected to the cell membrane to form a whole, thus ensuring that it is difficult for external forces to separate them."


    "What is ''protein''?"


    "What is ''cell membrane''?"


    This is the answer subconsciously obtained by living beings, and it also does not understand why it is just observing. can get such a transparent answer.


    As before, it can''t figure out this situation.


    Giving up pursuing such a question without head and end, the living body began to pay attention to collecting materials. Now that the question has been answered, there is only action left.


    The key point is the six tails with connection function. Thanks to the special perspective, it is easy for living organisms to see the macromolecr structure of the six scaffold tails.


    The collected materials are ced in the cytosm.


    A messy core began to partially unravel, and a small part of the experimental attempt was to find the bacteriophage gene chain hidden in the gene chain.


    After countless attempts, the living body finally found the part it wanted, that is, the gic blueprint for the bacteriophage to assemble the tail.


    The gene chain begins to y its role in application. The single chain captures therge molecules that are free in the cytosm toplete themselves.


    Soon, the macromolecule in the cytosm was consumed and reced by dozens of protein structures that are the same as the tail of the bacteriophage.


    These structures have the same function as the tail of the phage.


    That is, it can form a whole with the exposed outer membrane.


    Thepleted organisms can''t wait to transport these protein structures from the cytosm to the extracellr membrane.


    The scaffold-shaped protein structure naturally extends from the gap of the cell membrane, forming a whole with the replicator outer membrane close to its mother.


    Immediately after that, there are sessive multi-root protein structures. The connection between the two single cells has be more and more unbreakable. The ubiquitous surging forces are no longer a threat that can separate them, but a help that can make them move faster.
