Chapter 843 Origin of Life

Having said this, Xu You finally understood the deep meaning in Severly's words.

If it were another planet with even harsher conditions, even if the creatures on the blue star were put on it, all of these creatures would become extinct within a short period of time.

Unless it is a creature with a very high degree of intelligence and civilization like human beings, it can rely on its own technology and not be destroyed by the harsh environment.

"According to this way of thinking, Blue Star is not a planet that is easy to give birth to life, but a planet suitable for the development and continuation of life. Similar biological theories have never appeared on Blue Star."

According to the traditional biological theory, the blue star is a planet that is very easy to give birth to life, and planets similar to the blue star are very rare in the universe.

However, the latest discovery made Xu You have a different view on this issue.

"If possible... let's verify it now through my brain simulation skills."

Xu You was very curious about the real conclusion, so he said to Lin Shi and Severly:

"Lin Shi, Severly, you two have a look at the Shenniao aerospace fighter first. I need to study this issue in depth."

"Well, yes, teacher."

After explaining this to Lin Shi and Severly, Xu You entered the state of brain simulation and simulated this problem.

"Ms. Xu... is he going to enter his magical state again?" Severly asked Lin Shi.

For Xu You's special ability, Severly felt very incredible. On Proxima b, Severly had never seen any Proxima person with similar ability to Xu You.

"Yes, this is the magical ability of the teacher. Sometimes, I feel that the teacher doesn't look like a blue star." Lin Shi laughed.

While Lin Shi was chatting with Severly, a planet had been created in Xu You's brain simulation world.

Xu You tried to simulate various conditions to verify that this planet is very capable of producing life.

"No, the speed of the simulation is still too slow. At this speed, after a few hundred years, it is impossible to be sure that life will be produced."

Even though Xu You has used the fastest simulation speed, this speed is still too slow on the scale of planetary development.

Thinking of this, Xu You immediately tried to further speed up the simulation, so as to make the generation of life faster.

After some trials, Xu You finally adjusted the speed of the simulation to very fast.

According to Xu You's estimation, one second of time in the outside world is already equal to one million years in the simulated space.

With such a fast speed, the simulation error will be slightly larger, but it is a sacrifice that must be made in order to be able to simulate the results.

"If a planet can't produce any life or the substances necessary for the structure of life for billions of years, then this planet basically has no hope of giving birth to life." Xu You thought.

Now the life of the blue star has been 4.6 billion years, and the earliest life of the blue star was probably born between a few hundred million years and a billion years after the blue star appeared.

This basically shows that after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it is enough for a planet suitable for the birth of life to give birth to life.

When the first simulation entered the second billion years, Xu You reluctantly ended the first simulation.

"No, if our simulation is accurate, it proves that such conditions cannot breed life."

This time, the conditions of the planet Xu You chose were similar to those of Venus.

According to the simulation results, even if Venus is given enough time, it is impossible for life to be born.

Next, Xu You changed the conditions and set the planet to be very similar to Mars.

After completing the settings, Xu You continued the simulation.

But this time, Xu You obviously found that the simulated situation of the planet was very different from the last time.

On the surface of Venus, relatively active reactions appeared, and the matter on the surface of Venus continued to become more complicated.

"At the beginning, the matter on Venus was relatively monotonous, and there were not many types of elements. However, after continuous evolution, Venus became more and more complex, and more and more organic matter began to appear."

These reactions are very similar to the reactions after the formation of the blue star, which also made Xu You begin to believe that Venus indeed has the conditions for the birth of life.

When the simulation reached the 300 million year, Xu You discovered that some amino acid structures appeared on the surface of Venus, that is, organic compounds containing basic amino groups and acidic carboxyl groups.

This is a necessary substance needed to form proteins, marking the possibility of life becoming more likely.

By the time the simulation reached its 500 millionth year, proteins had emerged on the planet, along with other chemicals needed for life of all kinds.

At the eighth year of the simulation, the first life was officially born.

This is a very simple cell structure life, even without a nucleus, but it is already different from those organic macromolecules that do not have life.

"The first life...has it finally appeared?"

Seeing the picture in the simulated world of his brain, Xu You couldn't help becoming excited.

Although this is just a simulated world, Xu You knows that the accuracy of his brain simulation is very high.

If it is a situation that can appear in the simulated world, it is very likely to appear in the actual evolution.

But soon, Xu You discovered a new problem.

The appearance of the first life does not mean the appearance of the first species.

Because this life does not have the ability to reproduce offspring, after it died, the planet re-entered an era without life.

"It turned out to be like this... It seems that in order for species to really appear, a lot of life may have to be born." Xu You thought.

In the following simulations, multiple lives were born, but every life died in a similar way.

Moreover, the structures of these lives are different, they just have some similar characteristics.

Only when a new kind of life was born, did the life of the planet enter a new era.

Different from the previous lives, this life has the ability to split. Although the vitality is not the strongest, it can rely on this method to allow the life to continue to multiply and resist the reduction in the number of lives caused by the extinction of life.

"It turns out that the first life and the first species are two completely different concepts."
