In the petri dish, ten minutes had passed, converted to the time of the petri dish, about 30,000 years had passed, and his life span had been reduced by another 20 minutes.

Under such a terrifying time flow, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the petri dish.

"The speed is too fast. I can only see a general idea. I can't observe the birth and death of species at all. I only know that countless cells have died..."

Under the observation of the microscope, Yang Shou was not able to record the experiment well, but after 30,000 years, a strange species suddenly bred in the garbage soil.

Because it is taken from the soil of the earth, the soil originally contained the genes and cells of the earth species, but after three thousand years, these cells consumed the organic matter in the soil, and suddenly faced a crisis of lack of food.

The energy of all things is conserved, and if there is no food, they will starve to death, and a new round of natural selection has begun.

Most of the cells were starved to death, and a small number of cells chose to sleep, closed their cell walls and cell membranes, and waited for the day when the environment recovered.

But even in a deep sleep, energy is still consumed, even if it is extremely low.

After 10,000 years, 99% of the cell walls of the dormant cells began to crack and die.

But the miracle of life still happened, the survival instinct made these cells start self-remodeling and evolution.

They gave up the structure of the cell wall and chose to transform the cell wall into an organ that specializes in absorbing free small molecules in the air for a living.

Yang Shou didn't seal the petri dish, they survived without food by relying on this function.

Another 10,000 years have passed, and the entire petri dish is full of this new type of cells.

They reproduce rapidly, but even if the air circulates outside the petri dish, the free substances in the air in reality are not enough to support the uncontrolled reproduction of this kind of cells.

The development of cells fell into a bottleneck period of 10,000 years, and when Yang Shou picked up the microscope to observe, exactly 30,000 years had passed.

In the 30,000th year, in order to obtain more food and strengthen the race, this group of cells actually tried to evolve legs, wanted to move their position, and actively searched for food.

It may be that the obsession with obtaining food is too strong, they have evolved a total of sixteen legs!

"Centipede? Could it be that these are the cells of centipedes on Earth?"

Yang Shou frowned, fluffy legs grew out of every cell, wriggling crazily, from the garbage soil, some of them rushed to the land and some to the sea.

Using a microscope, Yang Shou saw that the cells in the accelerated state were moving rapidly, and the death of generations of cells made them divide into two parts and settle in land and sea.

"The ocean is the cradle of life because of the abundance of organic matter in seawater, and the cells on land chose a wrong path."

Yang Shou also focused on the observation of the ocean. Those cells that left their homes and left the garbage dump encountered another extinction in the ocean.

Even if they don't have the concept of breathing, they won't drown, but most of them die because they absorb too much water and swell.

A new species extinction has begun, and only less than 10% of the cells survived, continuing a new round of adaptation to the environment and continuous evolution.

In the seawater, there was plenty of food, and in the 40,000th year, the ocean cells multiplied wildly, filling the entire ocean.

And land cells, because they found new food, also became the overlord of land.

The fluff on the legs of the ocean cells is green, so the whole ocean turns green.

In order to adapt to the ocean environment, the physique of marine cells has softened and their defenses have declined, but correspondingly, the efficiency of food absorption and utilization has become much higher.

On the contrary, land cells have improved defense and evolved a hard shell to cope with the complex terrain environment on land.

In the 300,000th year of petri dish evolution, marine cells finally ushered in a great change.

A small number of cells fused by chance, and the leg hairs of dozens of ocean cells fused with each other, intertwining them tightly.

After countless fusion deaths, new types of creatures are finally evolved.

Because of the fusion of sixteen legs, the survival of the fittest has only one leg, and the fuzz is chimerized, and the new creature formed has legs all over.

"New types of cells are born."

Yang Shou was a little surprised that this "ancient creature" was born under his own witness.

If the sixteen-legged cells still have the shadows and genes of earth creatures, slow down the current legworms, after 300,000 years of evolution, have become independent "alien species" --- petri dishes species.

With 300,000 years of evolution, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are alien species, and they are very different from earth species in both internal and external structures.

"The generation of composite organisms, what is the direction of their development next?"

Ocean cells have legs that can eat and walk, but they are still facing a food crisis. If they want to evolve again, they must get more food.

Neither the air nor the ocean is enough to support them to obtain more food, so the core of these cells began to transform, giving up the animal-type eating method, and imitating plants to start to produce substances similar to chloroplasts, carry out photosynthesis, and feed on sunlight, Mimic plants get nutrients from sunlight.

It was the afternoon, and Yang Shou was doing experiments in the yard. The warm sunlight provided food sources for the cells in the petri dish.

Gradually, the entire ocean was filled with a kind of green, multi-cellular plant similar to algae, which can swim in the ocean for food and perform photosynthesis by twisting its body.

"Already able to self-sufficient oxygen, it's time to completely isolate the petri dish to prevent the earth's air from entering."

Yang Shou completely sealed the petri dish, artificially created a world different from the earth's environment, and continued to observe their development.

If you don't do this, the earth's civilization will have too much influence on them.

What he wants is the evolution of a different species, so that it is possible to evolve a path of civilization that can cure his cancer.

Moreover, he has been using the ability to speed up time now, causing his lifespan to be reduced to half of what it used to be, that is, he has to find a way to solve the cancer problem within one and a half months.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Shou continued to observe. Two hours passed, which is the 360,000th year of the petri dish world.

The unsatisfied ocean that occupied the marine algae plants tried to invade the land, and launched a survival battle with another group of compatriots more than 300,000 years ago.

However, the algae can't break the tortoise shell of the land cell, and the land cell has sixteen legs and moves very fast.

The hard carapace is responsible for defense, and the sixteen legs are responsible for offense. In an instant, the algae plants that climbed onto the land began to rout.

But as time went by, relying on the crazily developed quantity, the algal plants made up for the quality gap with quantity, and forcibly ground the land cells to death.

No way, land cells reproduce too slowly because of food, while algae plants rely on photosynthesis and can reproduce infinitely. The difference in the number of the two parties is too great.

So far, the petri dish has entered the era of marine life, and the algae plant has become the protagonist of this era, the well-deserved overlord, and has a tendency to spread towards the glass walls around the petri dish, trying to climb out of the petri dish.

Is this worth it?

Yang Shou took a pot of boiling water silently, made a small opening in the petri dish, and flooded the whole petri dish.

The age of algae, over.

"Experimental records: In the ancient era of divine grass, algae and marine plants spread endlessly throughout the world, and even found an invisible ladder leading to the gods. They tried to reach the sky in vain, offended the gods of heaven and earth, and poured down boundless boiling water, destroying the world."

Yang Shou took out his notebook and recorded this fleeting era.

Really, this race is too inflated. With legs, occupying the land, and wanting to go to the sky?

It’s okay to let you run out, who knows if it will cause a butterfly effect on the earth’s environment.

Resolutely not allowed!

Yang Shou observed silently, waiting for the next evolution of species.

In the 380,000th year, with the extinction of algae marine life, the next species was born, a legged, invertebrate reptile was born in countless algae corpses and boiling water, they were born with high temperature resistance, six legs, The hard shell fused with ancient terrestrial cells began a mighty journey to explore the world.

"Animals, finally there are animals!"

The emergence of animals needs sufficient food and other survival foundations, and the endless corpses of algae plants are their best breeding grounds.

"You really have to thank the algae."

Yang Shou took a deep breath, and named this four-legged hard-shelled creature a hard beetle.

Invertebrate means that there is no emotion and consciousness, and there is still a long way to go from intelligent creatures.

But Yang Shou is already very satisfied. Watching the evolution and extinction of species, in just two hours, the evolution of more than 300,000 years, compared to a human being in just a hundred years, he has witnessed too much splendor.

But because of the acceleration of time, he can't observe all the time, he can only see a rough idea.

"In the long time, I will definitely be able to find a way to survive."

He still has 190 million years left!

Petri dishes, because of the legacy of algae plants, began to enter the era of biological explosion.

All kinds of organisms have begun to diversify. Aquatic and terrestrial plants have inherited the photosynthesis of algae plants and spread all over the entire petri dish continent.

All kinds of invertebrate organisms are born in every corner of the petri dish, every breath of Yang Shou, there are organisms being born and dying.

"No, the petri dish is too small to accommodate the explosion of species."

Yang Shou discovered the key problem. It is still in the early stage. The largest creature in the petri dish is no bigger than a little finger, but as time goes by, sooner or later, there will be creatures as big as dinosaurs on the earth.

They were born in this Petri dish with a length, width and height of 40 centimeters?

It's scary just thinking about it!

But Yang Shou didn't think of a way to solve this problem for a while. He could only witness the continuous explosion and evolution of creatures. A variety of small ants, grasses and trees seized territory in the petri dish.

In the 450,000 year, countless small original species were born in the petri dish. From the outside, the petri dish is full of ants.

Finally, these species found the end of the world, and there was no way to expand the four directions. They found the invisible ladder and tried to ascend to the sky.

"hehe."

Yang Shoumo smiled emotionally, brought another pot of boiling water, and flooded the petri dish.

The second species extinction in prehistoric times was again because these species tried to ascend to the sky, provoking the majesty of the trainers.

"Experiment Notes: The second mass extinction of species. After the biological explosion, each species is not satisfied with the status quo, and climbs the ladder again, triggering the endless boiling water again, and the world is destroyed."

Another hour passed, and the petri dish ushered in the 480,000th year.

On the basis of the diversity of the previous batch of species, the evolution rate of species was much faster, and the birth of vertebrates and fishes ushered in for the first time.

"It's not far from intelligent creatures, but their size must be limited, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable."

How to limit their size? Yang Shou had a shallow idea in his heart.

Organisms will adapt to environmental variation and evolution, self-modify the genetic state, and adapt to the environment.

Then if every ten minutes, that is, 30,000 years, when they develop to the point where the petri dish can no longer hold them, he pours boiling water into the petri dish to destroy the world.

Then will they evolve genes autonomously to control their body size to prevent the lack of space in the petri dish, instinctively climb the ladder, and then become extinct.

After two extinctions, Yang Shou has actually discovered that the species born in the 480,000 year are much smaller than before.

"If they could write body size into their genes, that would be a perfect solution to this problem!"
