Chapter 5 The War Between Cells
And he also knows that this place is a crater, the hole left by the extinguishing of the volcano.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan's heart broke out in a cold sweat, no matter how much he did, he couldn't resist a volcanic eruption.

The spores were floating in the air, and suddenly he discovered a terrifying thing!

It turns out that I am not the only life on this planet, there is actually a community whose development has far surpassed my own.

The other party is in a super large lake in the west, so it is more appropriate to call it an inland ocean.

Zhang Fan's spores landed in the moss, and he was surprised to find that the moss had evolved into a fern.

"Could this be the primitive life of this planet?" Zhang Fan said to himself.

But the good times didn't last long, Zhang Fan was absorbed by the moss on the ground and turned into nutrients.

Another thing worried Zhang Fan even more, because there was life in the ocean.

This made the pretentious Zhang Fan a little embarrassed.

"What should I do? Attack back and forth."

There should still be a lot of life communities, Zhang Fan thought, he must start from the small ones, and the ocean is currently an area that he can't touch.

But what to do?Without the strength of transportation, you can only wait for death in the end.

Spores are the most basic method of transmission, but once they fall into the enemy's interior, they will definitely be destroyed.

correct!Virus!
Zhang Fan suddenly thought of the virus.

A virus is a non-cellular life form, which is composed of a long chain of nucleic acid and a protein shell. The virus has no metabolic mechanism of its own, and no enzyme system.

Biological viruses, whether they are virulent phages or mild phages, must be able to replicate and reproduce in living host cells. They use the nucleotides and amino acids of the host cells to autonomously synthesize some of their own components, assemble the next generation of individuals, and reach them. the goal of.

Zhang Fan thought of the virus insidiously, and began to make the virus. First of all, he had to avoid the impact of the virus on his own cells.

Phagocytes are on standby at any time, and can be eliminated immediately in the event of uncontrollable factors.

After a period of experimentation, the probability of failure is very, very high. I don't know how many cells were consumed. Zhang Fan finally developed the first-generation original ecology virus.

A little spoof named it T virus.

The movement mechanism of this T virus is not complicated, and Zhang Fan found that he can also control it.

After the T virus enters the cell, it absorbs the nutrients in the body and then reproduces, which can quickly cause the death of the cell. It is not big, only about one-tenth of an ordinary cell.

Countless viruses were taken away by spore detonation.

"This is the only one worthy of being the ruler of the world!" Zhang Fan thought to himself.

Contrary to expectations, the virus in the ocean cannot effectively spread out. The seawater in the ocean contains salt and poor penetration factors. The virus is dead before it starts to work.

Some of the viruses heading north also died due to the lack of cold resistance.

At this time Zhang Fan thought: "North? Is there life too?"

There is indeed life in the north, and their source is the ocean. There are white plants growing in the ice and snow, and even the moss at the base is white.

This time Zhang Fan is going to deal with the western biosphere.

The moment the spores fell, it meant that the war had begun.

The selected location is still placed on the moss.

After a little observation of the overall situation, the number of this community is larger than my own, and the species are more abundant, but most of them are in the lake.

The virus landed and began to run, and the outer walls of mosses also had a protective cell membrane, but Zhang Fan had already thought of a countermeasure.

He brought the phagocytes, and specially developed some larger spores to store the phagocytes.

The phagocytes were the first to attack, and the opponent was hit by the decomposing enzyme without any defense.

Suddenly there was a hole in the cell wall, at this time the other party seemed to be alert and began to close the cell wall.

But can it be resisted like this?

Before the cell wall was closed, Zhang Fan controlled the virus and instantly transferred it into the cell body.

The other party's moss cells were green, the emerald green kind, they were the real chlorophyll, the pigment that Zhang Fan had always wanted but failed.

Don't rush to destroy the opponent's body, control the virus and carefully observe the enemy's internal structure.

The cytoplasm of plant cells can be divided into membranes (plasma membrane and tonoplast), hyalin and organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, plastids, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, ribosomes, etc.).

The nutrients that the virus needs to absorb are in the hyalin.

Plastid is a unique organelle in eukaryotic cells. It is in the shape of a tablet, disc or sphere, with two layers of membranes on the surface. Its functions are closely related to energy metabolism, nutrient storage and plant reproduction.

Looking at it like this, it is much more reliable than its own cyanobacteria, at least the internal structure of the other party is distributed according to the golden ratio, while its own plant cells are made by itself.

Suddenly Zhang Fan felt uncomfortable, as if the opponent started to fight back.

"Where is the counterattack?" Zhang Fan observed the surrounding environment.

"Got you!"

Zhang Fan discovered that there is a kind of particularly small bacteria inside the moss cells.

Their image is not the common spherical shape in our life, but needle-shaped bacteria.

The needle-shaped bacteria launched a charge on the virus, stabbing the surface of the virus one after another.

Zhang Fan couldn't sit still and began to absorb the surrounding transparent matter.

The needle-shaped bacteria seemed to know the crisis of the situation and accelerated their attack speed.

But it was too late, halfway through the absorption, Zhang Fan began to split, and the split process could not be interrupted.

No matter how the needle-shaped bacteria attack, the virus divides as usual.

After the division is complete, the entire cell begins to shrivel up, and the needle-shaped bacteria no longer have the ferocity of the origin.

Keep absorbing!

The nutrients in the entire cell are completely absorbed, and the cell dies, along with the outer cell wall.

"Not good! Collapsed!" Zhang Fan said in surprise.

This is the opponent's second attack method. The dead cell wall cannot effectively support the combination of the upper and lower cells.

They began to slowly move closer together, and finally ended with a one-for-one ending.

The war must be won quickly. In the situation just now, if there are phagocytes to support it, it will definitely be able to escape.

The situation at that time was a bit ignorant, and Zhang Fan didn't expect it for a while.

Continue to attack, it was just a trial before, this time it is a full-scale attack, countless viruses have entered the body of the moss cells, devouring the nutrients inside.

The phagocytic cells are constantly swallowing and phagocytizing the decomposing enzymes.

The fruits of victory are great, and amidst the corpses new spores have descended.
