Kill! Kill them all! Kill them until they become extinct! Only by letting them die can we be safe!

Such violent thoughts occupied Hogu's thinking, and his thoughts were transmitted to all single cells. The cells were like soldiers receiving orders. From the beginning, Hogu operated them to resist with enzymes, and gradually evolved into them.

Spontaneous resistance, as long as the phage is parasitic, it will immediately commit suicide and seal the cell membrane, and die together with the phage.

The mutation of the single cells instantly reversed the stalemate between the two sides. The single cell cluster on Hogu's side began to gain the upper hand and pushed back against the corpses of its companions.

When the last phage parasitizes, it dies from a single-cell suicide attack, and the life-and-death battle ends.

Corpses were scattered everywhere, and even if the surroundings were surrounded by endless darkness, Huogu could roughly construct the scene. The single-cell cluster had shrunk to one-twentieth of its original size.

After regaining his composure, Huo Gu only felt scared for a while. If he still had a human body now, he would probably have been submerged in ice water.

The battle just now would be over if there were twice as many phages...

"No, we must find out the cause of death of double-walled cells immediately!"

Huo Gu's attention quickly turned to the completely dead double-walled cell.

"First eliminate those impossible factors one by one..."

"It can't be 'antibiotics'. Although it is possible for fungi and bacteria to produce them, only viruses such as bacteriophages cannot do it. Their structures are too simple, and if they are derived from single cells themselves, then double-walled cells

There should be a certain degree of resistance..."

"What could be the reason?"

Hogu found himself back to the original point of the question - how do double-walled cells die?

"First of all, when it's single walled, it's fine..."

"Wait, single wall? That's right, it's single wall!"

Huo Gu suddenly thought of something and suddenly focused his attention on the slightly intertwined tunnels.

Because of this mutual stagger, the tunnels form a material exchange tunnel that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle.

Originally, this is used to allow single cells to interact with the outside world in terms of matter, energy, and information. This is something that is absolutely indispensable for all life to maintain its own activities.

Now this tunnel is blocked, and what blocks the tunnel are those small molecular groups and large molecular groups.

This is like blocking a person's mouth and nose, and the death of double-walled cells is a matter of course.

"So, this is a design flaw from the beginning, but what should I do? Even if the DNA is corrected, the clogging problem cannot be solved. If we give up narrowing the tunnel, we will not be able to defend against those phages that deserve a thousand cuts.

"

The idea gradually reached a dead end. After a while, Huogu's ideas became a mess and he could not think of any good solution.

"Maybe I should try another way..."

Since this path doesn't work, it's better to simply change the path. Huogu's mind flashed back to the scene of fighting the phage swarm before.

"I am not me, but we..."

"Individual abilities are always limited, maybe I should work hard in this direction..."

A prototype gradually appeared in Huogu's thoughts - multicellular organisms!

"In the case of skin, the cells in the outermost layer can be made into completely closed cells. Life support is left to the inner cells protected by this layer of 'epidermis'."

The long bamboo-like creature appeared in front of Huo Gu.

"The inner cells are only responsible for transporting supplies, and the work of defense and attack is left to other types of cells."

"It is best to have an inner space inside to facilitate targeted strikes."

The long strip of creature in his mind became transparent, and the interior took on the appearance imagined by Hogu. The inner wall of the cavity had the same surface cells as the outer skin. When the microorganisms entered the cavity, the epidermal cells in these cavities would release

A large number of enzymes are used to break down the microorganisms in the cavity into amino acids.

In this way, the cavity is a completely harmless nutrient solution. Although it contains a large number of enzymes, as long as the cell walls of the epidermal cells in the cavity are maintained and the two sides are balanced, the 'digestive juice' in the cavity is harmless.

of.

"It involves two openings, so when the entire single-cell colony moves, the flowing water itself will bring those microorganisms inside the cavity."

At this moment, Huogu's thoughts suddenly came to a halt, and he discovered that there was something wrong somewhere.

How to absorb the amino acids broken down by enzymes?

This is a very serious problem. If there is no way to absorb the amino acids in the cavity, then all the previous designs will be in vain.

Is there no way? Huo Gu fell into deep thought again, recalling the memories of the human period and looking for the biological designs recorded in the books.

"What about people?"

"How do people achieve nutritional intake after eating?"

Huo Gu asked himself this question.

"Gastric mucosa, gastric mucosa is alkaline and can neutralize gastric acid, so gastric acid does not pose any threat to the stomach unless the gastric mucosa is destroyed..."

"I could try to formulate an inhibitor of the 'digestive fluid' enzyme, so that I don't have to worry about the enzyme breaking down the cavity wall."

"So, the cell walls of the epidermal cells on the inner wall of the cavity don't have to..."

Huo Gu's thoughts suddenly stopped and he gave up the idea.

"No, it is still necessary. What if those microorganisms complete the infection and parasitism of the cells in the cavity before digestion?"

This issue must be paid attention to, and Hogu decided to continue to retain the original cell wall design of the cells in the cavity.

Next is the design of ‘open mouth’ and ‘shut mouth’.

This difficulty is not too great. There is a ready-made protein structure as a 'rope', which can simulate the 'tendons' of multicellular organisms.

Although there are no muscle fibers to provide assistance, it does not matter, the driving force can be provided through cell division.

The only drawback is that it cannot open and close its mouth as quickly as those multicellular organisms with muscle fibers.

However, Hogu is not worried about this shortcoming, because the opponents it faces are microorganisms, and the speed of opening and closing its mouth does not mean much.

It can be said that as long as it is not fighting multi-cellular organisms, Huogu's design is invincible. Even if it faces the previous group of phages, it is guaranteed to crush it.

The current situation is no longer as it was in the past, each fighting on its own and as loose as a piece of loose sand. Under this design, the single-cell cluster is like a clenched fist, capable of destroying any microorganism that dares to punch it.
