Chapter 374 Organic polymer materials that cannot be decomposed

The "Chemical Origin Theory" believes that life is born and grown on 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 production of biological macromolecular substances from organic small molecules; third, the composition of a multimolecular system from biological macromolecular substances; fourth, the evolution of organic multimolecular system into primitive life.

The most important point is that genetic material that can be replicated by itself. At present, only DNA and RNA are found on various planets. Perhaps humans are too ignorant and have not experienced enough planets, or perhaps this is already a fact of the universe.

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

The basic idea of ​​"life game" is to give an initial configuration and then formulate some basic rules to observe the evolution of life, whether a series of similarities will appear.

At the beginning, all cells were randomly distributed in large grids, and the evolution rules were very simple, with only 4 short pieces.

, "too small population": Any living cells, if there are fewer than 2 living neighbors in the surrounding area, will die.

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

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

4. "Reproduction": If any dead cells are exactly 3 living neighbors, they will come alive.

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

What does it mean?

In other words, through this game, it is explained that some very simple rules can evolve into extremely complex structures, which actually have many similarities with the birth and reproduction of life.

The craters and seabeds of each planet, these initial environments are almost the same. High pressure and humid complex environments provide the same rules for the birth of life.

Under these rules, simple organic matters are randomly combined into complex organic matter.

These complex chemical substances can further synthesize self-replicating genetic substances such as DNA and RNA, which explains the universality of life in the universe and explains why the organisms encountered by humans all have genetic substances.

Even though the types of these genetic materials vary greatly, they are still species centered on genetic materials.

"It is very regrettable that we have not yet found the original DNA, RNA, that is, the simplest genetic material that can be replicated by itself... Otherwise, this hypothesis will truly become theorem."

The initiating this discussion was Professor Yamamoto who was the Unreal Laboratory and some geography experts who studied in Riley Star.

Zhang Yuan sat down 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 are talking about the mass extinction of life. Should I do any scientific experiments on the Riley civilization without approval? Especially biological virus experiments..."

"You should know that although our current laws do not have any content on alien civilizations, this is a big loophole. However, random biochemical experiments are not allowed by morality..."

"Captain, I know, I know, I swear I will definitely not make this mistake." Yamamoto stood on the stage, a little impatient, maybe because there was too much dark history, and people around him were skeptical.

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

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

Various patterns about the "Life Game" are displayed on the screen, "There are 256 rules in this game. Under each rule, due to the different initial conditions, the final results are also different."

"But the rules it can form are still limited, namely: changes end in a constant image, periodic changes occur, image changes are almost random, and there are some complex laws in the image."

"If this two-dimensional game is compared to a civilization in a two-dimensional world, can it be understood in this way: change ends in a constant image, which is equivalent to a civilization being completely classified and civilization will no longer change."

"There is a periodic change, that is, the phenomenon of historical reincarnation appears. Although it is dynamic in images, there is no progress. These two categories are all mediocre civilizations considered by the history of new civilizations."

"The image changes are almost random, and there are some complex laws in the images. Only in these two situations can we have non-mediocre possibilities. Our new civilization history wants to penetrate this kind of complex laws..."

"Don't forget that there are only a few simple rules that support the operation of life games. We usually believe that the laws that support the operation of the universe should also be simple. Can we get some inspiration from it?"

Zhang Yuan frowned and thought. Yes, this is just the simplest two-dimensional image. A real cosmic civilization can be much more complex than a two-dimensional image... But in some aspects, can an individual of a civilization be compared to a geometric body composed of some laws?

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

But it is too difficult to truly crack these mysteries.

Yamamoto changed his subject and continued: "By the way, everyone, the discussion of this meeting is not about the historiography of new civilizations, but about the imminent spontaneous mass extinction of species on this planet."

Mass extinction of species?

A few people below came back to their senses just now when they heard about this topic.

He didn't keep it a secret, and took out a piece of finger-sized and wood-like thing from a box, and started an experiment on the spot.

"Look, this is the heart of the World Tree, that is, the hardest part. This group of tree hearts comes from a 5-year-old tree, as tough as steel bars. Without the heart of the tree, the world tree cannot grow so tall. Please rest assured that we have undergone special sterilization treatment, and you can observe it at close range."

Zhang Yuan took a small piece of Shuxin handed over by the staff and made it hard. Its hardness was very high. Even if he used all the strength on his body, he didn't even bend at all.
