"Doctrine of Chemical Origin" holds that life is native to the planet and evolved from inorganic matter. It divides the origin of life into four stages: first, the stage of generating organic small molecules from inorganic small molecules; second, the generation of biological macromolecules from small organic molecules; and third, the composition of multiple molecules from biological macromolecular substances System; fourth, the organic multimolecular system evolved into primitive life.

最 The most important point is that the genetic material that can self-replicate is, for now, only the genetic material found on each planet. Maybe humans are too ignorant and not enough planets to experience, or maybe this is already a fact of the universe.

Some people find it incredible, why do different planets have the same structure? To better explain this, there is a very famous math game called "Life Game".

The basic idea of ​​the "game of life" is to give an initial configuration, and then formulate some basic rules to observe the evolution of life. Will there be a series of similarities?

At the beginning, all cells were randomly distributed in a large grid, and the evolution rules were very simple, with only four short ones.

1, "Too small population": Any living cell will die if there are less than 2 living neighbors nearby.

2, "Normal": Any living cell continues to live if there are 2 or 3 living neighbors.

3, "Overpopulation": Any living cell dies if there are more than 3 living neighbors.

4, "Breeding": Any dead cell will survive if there are exactly 3 living neighbors.

Just such simple rules will evolve extremely complex dynamic images, and these dynamic images will form very strange dynamic laws.

What does that mean?

In other words, through this game, it is explained that some very simple rules can evolve into an extremely complex structure. This has a lot in common with the birth and reproduction of life.

初始 The crater of each planet, the bottom of the sea, these initial environments are almost the same. The high pressure and the complex environment of humidity provide the same rules for the birth of life.

Under these rules, simple organics are randomly combined into complex organics.

These complex chemicals can further synthesize self-replicating genetic material, which explains the universality of life in the universe. It also explains why all human beings encounter genetic material.

Even though the types of these genetic materials are very different, they are still centered on genetic materials.

"It is very regrettable that we have not found the original, which is the simplest, genetic material that can replicate itself ... otherwise, this hypothesis will really become a theorem."

This discussion was initiated by Professor Yamamoto of the Unreal Lab, as well as some geographers who are taking part in the Riley Star Scientific Examination.

Zhang Yuan sat below, just an ordinary listener.

He frowned, not knowing what Yamamoto was going to say, so he raised his hand and asked directly: "Professor Yamamoto, time is limited. I would like to ask what you said about the extinction of life. What scientific experiments were performed on the Riley civilization without approval? Especially biological virus experiments ... "

"You need to know that although our current law does not contain content about alien civilization, this is a large loophole. However, random biochemical experiments are not allowed by morals ..."

"Sir Captain, I know, I know, I swear that I will not make mistakes in this regard." Yamamoto stood on the stage, a little impatient, probably because there is too much black history, and everyone around him came With skeptical eyes.

He responded quickly: "Listen to me first, it won't take up much of your time."

"An example I just gave, the game of life ..."

The screen displays various patterns about the "game of life". "This game has a total of 256 rules. Under each rule, the final results are different due to different initial conditions."

"But the laws that can be formed are still limited, namely: the change ends in a constant image, there are periodic changes, the image changes almost randomly, and the image has some complex law."

"If you compare this two-dimensional game to a civilization in a two-dimensional world, can you understand it like this: change ends in a constant image, which is equivalent to the solidification of a complete class of civilization, and civilization no longer changes."

"There are periodic changes, that is, the phenomenon of historical reincarnation. Although it is dynamic in the image, it no longer progresses. These two categories are all mediocre civilizations considered by the history of new civilization."

"Images change almost randomly and there are some complex laws in the images. These two situations have the possibility of non-mediocre. Our new history of civilization wants to penetrate through such complex laws ..."

"Don't forget that the rules that support the operation of the game of life are just a few simple rules. And we generally also believe that the rules that support the operation of the universe ~ www.readwn.com ~ should also be concise, can we get some from it? Inspired? "

Zhang Zhang frowned and thought. Yes, this is just the simplest two-dimensional image. The true cosmic civilization can be much more complicated than two-dimensional images ... but in some ways, can an individual civilization be compared to a three-dimensional one, composed of certain rules What about the geometry?

This is a very novel perspective, and many mathematicians have fallen into meditation.

But it's too difficult to really crack these mysteries.

She turned around and continued: "Yes, guys, this meeting's discussion is not about the history of new civilization, but about the imminent extinction of species on this planet."

大 Species extinction?

A small group of people still just heard about this topic and went back to God.

也不 He didn't sell Guanzi either. He took out a finger-thick, wood-like thing from a box, and started an experiment on the spot.

"You see, this is the heart of the world tree, which is the hardest part. This batch of tree hearts comes from a 15-year-old small tree, which is as tough as steel bars. Without the heart, the world tree cannot grow. It ’s so tall. Please rest assured that we have undergone a special sterilization process so that everyone can observe it closely. "

Zhang Yuan took the small tree heart handed over by the staff and stung it hard. Its hardness was very high. Even if all the strength in the whole body was exhausted, there was no bending at all.

"It's really good material."
