Chapter 546: Things I Did When I Was God
"Ignore other meteorites and satellites for now and let them evolve naturally."
Yu Yifeng really didn't put much effort into the familiar "Pluto", "Sedna", Kuiper Belt, etc. In fact, at this point, it can already be generated naturally.
It is really not easy to be a god. After working on these planets, he needs to take a good rest to restore his "physical strength".
As for...why create so many seemingly useless planets. Yu Yifeng himself didn't know. He remembered that in an astronomy class, he once commented on the usefulness of each planet in the solar system. It is said that Jupiter can help block meteorites, Saturn can be used as an interstellar springboard, etc...
"After all, there is nothing wrong with copying the solar system. No matter what, you can miss it."
Seeing these eight planets, Yu Yifeng was in a good mood. He was usually busy resting. As long as he had more physical strength, he could do the next thing.
The self-evolution of the planet began... For the convenience of naming, Yu Yifeng directly let them use the names of various planets in the solar system, such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, etc.
Only the third planet, called "Blue Star", is slightly distinguished from "Earth".
Yu Yifeng also mainly focuses on "Blue Star" because it is located in a better livable zone.
In the early days of the formation of the solar system, there were many meteorites in the starry sky. Various meteorite bombardments brought a lot of water to the planet, which Yu Yifeng was happy to see. Water is the source of life. Anyway, in the first few hundred million years, there would be no life at all. He knew this well.
He also created some accidents, causing more meteorites to continuously hit the third planet, greatly increasing the water content of the planet.
That's right, what he wants to copy is still the earth as it once was...
The volatile gases produced by volcanic eruptions began to generate secondary atmosphere, the main components of which are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide and other gases with relatively heavy molecular weights.
These gases and the earth's solid matter are attracted to each other and dependent on each other. They were not abandoned by the huge centrifugal force of the earth at the beginning, and were an ideal environment for nurturing life.
"By the way, there must be a massive satellite. Without the moon, Blue Star would be the same as the Metamos civilization. It would be impossible to flip the axis of rotation..."
After thinking about it, Yu Yifeng, who was full of "divine power", viciously dug out a huge rock from the planet!
"Hey!"
He used brute force to push this huge meteorite into the sky, then found a suitable distance and started spinning.
Just like that, a "moon" was created!
The original big crater will gradually recover under the influence of the planet's rotation. There is still plenty of time anyway.
After completing the entire step, he was secretly delighted by this powerful power of reaching for the stars and the moon.
This feeling is so realistic and powerful. Even if the entire new human civilization wants to get a moon, it will take a lot of time.
Now he can do it with just a grab, and he can even fly a little closer and throw it out of the solar system!
How could you be unhappy!
"What a special fairy mode..."
Then, after he regained his breath, he began to frantically create accidents, including various lightning, hurricanes, rain, and various volcanic eruptions. According to current theories, complex organic matter will be born with a small probability from these phenomena.
Well, until now, new humans still don’t know what the original origin of life is. Some people think that it is the self-catalytic replication of naturally occurring RNA, while others think that it is simple life brought by meteorites.
In short, Yu Yifeng believes that "marginal civilizations" should not embarrass people in places like this.
He is not a biologist, so it is impossible for him to recite the complete DNA sequence. If he cannot even create a life, then it is just a joke...
So... after a while, he had to speed up the passage of time and became bored to the point of wanting to play on other planets.
"There is no life, there is no life..."
Finally, it took 800 million years under extremely harsh conditions...
After waking up from a nap, Yu Yifeng discovered with tears in his eyes that...
A heat-resistant methane bacterium was born in the scorching liquid at the bottom of the ocean!
This archaea is capable of metabolizing methane to allow cells to replicate themselves.
It is the "1" of the whole world.
“It’s really hard to start something from nothing.”
The birth of life finally gave Yu Yifeng a real possibility to solve this problem. Seeing this strange, small, simple, self-conscious life, Yu Yifeng suddenly felt that he had a strange feeling of being a father... "Is it the source of everything?"
The environment at this time was still quite scary. The sun was too young and not stable at all. It was hot and cold, and volcanoes often erupted on the surface. If people on earth were allowed to live in that kind of environment, they would be completely extinct in less than a week, because the water here is completely boiling and the climate is like Venus!
Yu Yifeng could only take good care of them and prevent these newly born little ones from being killed by unexpected events.
Slowly, he felt quite tired. Due to the long-term labor, his physical strength... was gradually depleted.
He could only sigh and stop this caring behavior.
But soon, Yu Yifeng unexpectedly discovered that the series of care he had just taken was wrong. These little things were struggling and evolving rapidly!
The strength of life is fully demonstrated in this environment. They are like a small boat in the sea, which may capsize at any time, but they are struggling to persist.
"Survive, survive!"
After 200 million years, these things have occupied the entire planet and have given birth to various species.
Yu Yifeng was overjoyed. With a huge base, he could do more things and evolve faster...
In order to make life evolve faster, "oxygen, photosynthesis, and multicellular organisms" became the keywords.
He could only guide them in this direction as much as possible.
"Evolve!"
Life became more and more numerous, and the original methane energy began to be useless. Fierce competition... officially began.
"Evolve!"
Cells began to devour each other in order to survive and reproduce.
From prokaryotes to eukaryotes, from anaerobic to aerobic, and from single cells to multicellular, every step was cautious, but also wonderful, like witnessing great epics again and again...
But he felt that he, the "God", was getting weaker and weaker. Although he was still very strong and could greet meteorites, trigger volcanoes, and earthquakes at will. But in this case, strength doesn't seem to have much effect.
Evolution and mutation in order to adapt to the environment have become the main means.
When "blue algae" was born, an extremely serious species extinction occurred, and many lives were killed because they could not adapt to the environment with increasingly high oxygen concentrations.
Yu Yifeng watched helplessly as more than 99% of the species were killed...
He sighed bitterly, scratched his head and ears, and fidgeted, as if a large piece of meat was cut off from his heart.
But he had no choice but to watch them die.
"'Blue algae' means oxygen. High oxygen environment means... it is easier to give birth to larger life!"
He could only comfort himself in this way. Although complex life and even super life can be born in an oxygen-free environment when magnified to the entire universe, the probability is always small... Even if life is born on a large number of planets without atmosphere, most of them are microorganisms, and they can never go up.
