After enduring the scorching sun of the day, the seventh night began to fall.
The purple silk grass still lived peacefully in the ocean. It had been able to withstand the alternating sun and moon for five thousand years.
At the same time, with its rapid reproduction, the photosynthesis of these aquatic plants caused the oxygen content in the seawater to increase significantly. The conditions suitable for the birth of marine animals had been met.
In nature, if there were no aquatic plants in the water and there was no flow, it was difficult for oxygen in the air to integrate into the water. Such a pool of stagnant water could not produce a suitable environment for aquatic animals.
Soon, the spores in the sand table ocean began to evolve. The first to appear was a group of black beetles, similar to the ancient Paleozoic marine species on Earth, the Placopodium horseshoe crab.
At this point, marine animals stepped onto the historical stage of the Evolutionary Era.
"My world sand table … Marine animals have finally evolved from single cells. I have waited for you for a long time. I have waited for two mass extinctions."
The moment the animals appeared, Xu Zhi showed a gratified smile. After a day and a night of exhaustion, his body finally couldn't take it anymore. He went straight back to his room, lay down, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already the eighth day of the sand table's creation.
Anyone who studied biology knew that the ocean was the origin of life, but Xu Zhi found that there were already marine animals that began to be dissatisfied with the fierce competition in the ocean. They gradually evolved toes and scales, evolved into amphibians, and lived on the barren coast.
Seeing this, he wrote down the last page of the Guangwu Era in delicate handwriting.
This third era of evolution should be completely reborn after the mass extinction. Xu Zhi named it the Neozoic Era:
[The Neozoic Era ushered in a new era, and all kinds of animals exploded. The first marine animals appeared, and the species flourished. Invertebrates relied on their shells and dominated the sea for a while, becoming the hegemon of the era. However, it didn't last long. Vertebrates were born, and with their advantage in dexterity, they defeated them. Vertebrates became the hegemon of the Neozoic Era. They climbed out of the sea and will rule a long era!]
After writing all this, Xu Zhi silently closed the book.
The eras on Earth were the Cambrian Era, the Ordovician Era, and the Silurian Era …
And the eras of Xu Zhi were the Dark Warrior Era, the Guangwu Era, and the Neozoic Era …
"That's fast. I slept for a night. The spores are about to walk out of the ocean and evolve into terrestrial species …"
Xu Zhi's eyebrows suddenly twitched. "But it's unknown how many epochs it will take for intelligent creatures to evolve. Since an ecosystem has appeared, why don't I …"
"Cause some trouble?"
He looked at his finger and wanted to cut it and drip his blood on it. He wanted to let some species absorb its genes and quickly evolve into human-like intelligent creatures …
In the ocean of sand tables in the orchard yard, beautiful Naga mermaids appeared?
On the sand table in the garden, there appeared the strong intelligent apes of the Taishan Clan?
"It's exciting just thinking about it. A miniature sand table world in the yard."
However, he rejected the idea again. He was somewhat against using humans as experiments to evolve intelligent species. "I remember that in the city outside, there's a zoo. I can secretly get a few gorillas' fur, get some genetic models, and stir up some trouble …"
He went straight out the door.
A few hours later, Xu Zhi entered the zoo. He was surrounded by couples showing off their love, or families of three. The parents were showing off their love while bringing their children to the zoo to play.
He was a bachelor and was very eye-catching.
After all, who would come to the zoo alone to look at monkeys? It was easy to be seen as a monkey.
The family of three secretly whispered to each other.
"Dad, look at this uncle … He's bald. He looks very strong!"
"Don't say that. He's bald and doesn't look strong. He's probably sick. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so old. A seriously ill patient coming to the zoo alone. No matter how you think about it, he must be a pitiful person with no one to accompany him …"
Xu Zhi was only a young man in his early twenties. The strong side effects of chemotherapy were very obvious. He was too old, and his hair was sparse. But to say that he was pitiful …
He was quite pitiful before, but now he was having fun. It was quite fun to evolve into a species.
"Hehe, believe it or not, I, a bald young man, can evolve long black hair the next day, modify my evolutionary genes, cure cancer, and restore my youth?
"But I don't believe it myself. Evolution is too slow. My orchard is still in the Paleozoic Era's sea and land." He studied for a while in the orangutan park and took a fancy to a male orangutan with the best physique. He directly looked for the manager and simply and crudely said that he was a medical student of a nearby university. He had a research topic given by his tutor and needed the blood of orangutans to write a graduate thesis.
"Young man, you said you are the assistant of a laboratory professor, a top student, and knowledgeable … I believe you." The uncle looked at Xu Zhi's sparse hair and also had a look of pity. "But it's impossible for you to get the blood of the orangutan I raised. I raised it myself. I treat it like my son. Even if you threaten me, give me money, or bribe my leader, I can't …"
"A tube of blood."
Xu Zhi took out 3,000 yuan and placed it on the table.
The uncle's eyes were bright. This was his monthly salary. He could not help but jump up and said, "Just one tube of blood? I can take a few more. "
"Big brother, I only need one tube."
Xu Zhi laughed.
He stroked the sparse Balding hair on his head with his palm and laughed like a demon that seduced people. "Don't worry, I won't tell your leader. If possible, we will cooperate in the future. For example, I am very interested in the blood of the peacocks and cranes in your zoo."
"Okay, okay." The uncle rubbed his palms excitedly. "It is a very meaningful thing to support university students to research biological topics."
After a while, Xu Zhi left very calmly.
After he dealt with the orchard, he would have hundreds of thousands of savings left. He would not enjoy anything. As long as he was not extravagant, he would not be able to use it all in a short period of time.
He was rich and overbearing. The bald head had become stronger! He already had the ability to make money. He was so arrogant!
Then he thought about it and got some termites that he saw by the roadside. After all, the ant gene gave him infinite strength, and it was free …
At around five o 'clock in the afternoon, when he returned to the front of the courtyard, Xu Zhi was suddenly stopped.
"Hey, are you Xu Zhi??"
Xu Zhi turned his head and looked at the roadside of the village. A beautiful girl riding an electric scooter was looking at him.
"I'm Chen Xi, the one who often visited your house when I was young. Recently, I saw the lights in your courtyard turn on at night. Are you really back?" The girl could not help but be surprised. "How did you become like this? Weren't you like this in the past … "
Chen Xi?
Xu Zhi remembered. "It's because of stomach cancer, hair loss, mental exhaustion, and chemotherapy."
"You have cancer? How could it be …" She stared at Xu Zhi with her eyes wide open. For a moment, she was so shocked that she could not speak.
She suddenly said, "Last year, I also got into a university. It's also your university …"
"Bless you."
Xu Zhi nodded. Only now did he remember that it should be the summer holidays. She returned to her hometown for the holidays.
As soon as this thought passed, Xu Zhi was in a hurry to go back. After all, he had not been here for half a day. He did not know how those Zerg species with terrifying reproductive abilities had evolved!
He was in despair previously.
Silently waiting for death. Now, the boring life had become unknown and interesting.
He was extremely high now!
Reproducing species and creating life. It was as if he was on drugs. He could even entertain himself.
"You're leaving." Chen Xi did not stop him. She felt a little conflicted.
Pursing her lips, she looked at the idol that she had always wanted to chase after. It was obvious that he was running away. His optimism now was all an act.
After all, he was bald!
He was bald!
Just the thought of this rare amount of hair made her heart ache!
Chen Xi suddenly felt that the dream that she had been chasing after had collapsed. However, they could still be friends. She shouted from afar, "Hey! Come to my house to play when you're free. If there's anything, you can come and discuss with us. "
…
Xu Zhi's head hurt.
Why are all of you staring at my head with sad and nostalgic expressions? I've already said that it's the side effects of chemotherapy. It's normal, alright?
Even if the cancer was not cured, now that the chemotherapy had stopped and the patient was gradually recovering, his hair would still grow back!
"Hehe, it's time to evolve into a powerful species that doesn't grow hair. I'll let them have a taste of the terrifying power of baldness!" Xu Zhi scratched his head. He returned to the courtyard and looked at the pond.
At this moment, another half a day had passed.
After the species climbed onto land, they reproduced at a terrifying speed. They almost covered the entire 100-acre miniature sand table. The mountains and rivers were filled with greenery. The plains were also covered with strange-looking trees. There were also animals swimming in the rivers.
"There are fish in freshwater too. Saltwater fish have already left saltwater and developed into freshwater rivers.
"They only evolved for ten days from a single cell to such a complex multicellular level. They achieved biological diversity and evolved into an ecological world. This is simply a terrifying speed of reproduction and evolution."
This was already a miniature sand table ecological world. If not for the nest limiting the range of reproduction and not allowing them to go out, it might have caused a species invasion on Earth.
"Then, let me randomly choose a lucky person and carry out a genocide treatment. I'll add the genes of gorillas and ants. As long as it survives, it will be reborn. It will become the ancient insect ape race of the ancient era in the sand table in my courtyard …"
Xu Zhi wore the blue plastic shoe covers he bought and walked into this huge 100-acre experimental field. Along the way, he did not know how many green trees and animals the size of ants were trampled to death.
He did not care.
"This is natural selection, survival of the fittest. Being trampled to death by me can only mean that you're unlucky and eliminated by nature." He squatted down and silently looked at the species. "Choose the one with the most potential and evolve into an intelligent ape."
He thought for a while and added.
"Well, it's best if it's bald."
