Metal-based organisms, all called metal-based-carbon-based organisms. The enzyme system in this type of organism has undergone an incredible transformation. In the part of the protein that constitutes its body, the skeleton that connects the amino group and the carboxyl group is not a carbon element, but a specific metal element.

Because the ability of metal elements to lose electrons is not equal to the ability to obtain electrons, the proteins expressed by human original genes will generate extra electrons when expressed under this life system. Under the orderly effect of life, these proteins will be arranged in a specific way in a specific area.

So the protein complexes of metal-based organisms will show some of the characteristics of metal clusters.

For example, the structure of "brain-machine barrier".

Metal-based cells have the ability to resist damage far exceeding Earth's native carbon-based cells. It is also very resistant to hypoxia and has a longer lifespan.

However, Shang upward does not think that metal-based plants have more competitive advantages on this planet.

The reason is very simple.

Most of the metal elements in metal-based organisms have extra carbon atoms in the number of external electron layers. These substances participate in the reaction and require higher energy levels.

The enzyme system of metal-based organisms needs to operate in a higher-energy environment.

The body temperature of the benchmark person is much higher than that of Homo sapiens.

Of course, the temperature of protein denaturation is much higher than that of Homo sapiens.

A temperature of 37 degrees Celsius is enough to make most metal-based proteins lose the reaction conditions.

Xiang Shan remembers that the body temperature of a benchmark person is generally around 50 degrees Celsius.

All other metal-based organisms face this problem.

They need a higher reaction temperature.

But here is the problem.

"High body temperature" is impossible to appear out of thin air.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the increase in internal energy of an object is equal to the sum of the heat absorbed by the object and the work done on the object. If you want high temperatures, you need more energy.

Human beings can rely on a developed industrial base to use electric energy to meet this energy demand.

But most creatures in nature do not have this condition.

This is also the reason why Xiang Shan and the others dared to carry out this kind of genetic modification on animals. Because in theory, even if the experimental animals escaped, it would be difficult for them to successfully reproduce on Earth.

The native species may not have their strong resistance to damage and battle strength, but they are better at "energy saving" and have a greater competitive advantage.

Under normal circumstances, metal-based organisms impossible form large-scale populations in the wild in Earth.

If it is near the equator, there may be a little possibility.

After all, carbon-based organisms can also appear in the Antarctic and Arctic.

But no matter what happens without human intervention, metal-based organisms cannot eliminate Earth's native species in the Earth environment without developing civilization.

Just as every time a mass extinction, giant species like Tyrannosaurus rex are all on the street, while small species survive in large numbers, the population competitive advantage brought by "energy saving" is really too great.

Xiang Shan remembers that he relied on this kind of reason to persuade the biologists who were committed to protecting the ecology.

And he insisted that "plants should be green" for the same reason.

If there is no external force interference, the "copper sugar tree", a customized version of the metal-based species, is impossible to eliminate the Earth's native carbon-based species in Earth.

The benchmark man is only able to play a stronger role than Homo sapiens in an industrialized society.

Yuki nodded.

He still remembers what Xiang Shan told him months ago.

Cui Shou said: [At this latitude, green plants may still be rare. But there are some more on the Arctic Circle...]

Xiang Shan nodded: [The higher the latitude, the colder it is. Enzyme system has more obvious disadvantages for metal-based organisms with high temperature requirements. If you think about it, maybe the tundra is the greenest place on Earth right now. 】

Cui Mukuro exclaimed: [Senior is experienced and knowledgeable...]

"Okay, it's this layer."

Xiang Shan Looked inside. There are still one or two shacks on the floor, but not everyone is inside. Two or three shacks were occupied.

This is probably a home built by homeless people a long time ago.

Xiang Shan led the entire group into it. There is a large shack. He pointed to the big shack: "Just here. Put your luggage down, go to the side to demolish a few shacks, and repair them. This is the base for the current stage."

Yuki puts his hands down. My little fellow, and a few other people went to tear down the surrounding shack. Xiang Shan looked at the little fellow, and the little fellow worked hard to lift the head and looked at Xiang Shan.

"Yeah! Ah! Da! Don't be afraid!"

She said so.

"It's a pity, I don't understand what you are talking about." Xiang Shan leaned down, patted the head of the little fellow, and then sorted out the kennel-like shack a bit.

Although there is surveillance around, in theory this is only the personal behavior of the lord. You want to block the surveillance, it is your own freedom. And if this behavior arouses the suspicion of the lord, it is also an individual having only oneself to blame.

Huang Yiguang tries hard not to think about what the adhesive of these cheap sheets is.

This move has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the surroundings. It's just that Xiang Shan, Cui Shou, and Huang Ouguang are all Martial Artists, and Yuki's transformation is not low. Compared to these natural persons who have hardly any decent transformations, they are simply outrageous.

Those people will not take the initiative to provoke them.

Soon, a few people put together a shack enough for four people to sit in.

And Xiang Shan carelessly spread the metal composite sheet he carried on the inner wall of the shack. When necessary, these gadgets can withstand small-caliber gunshots, which can be regarded as "better than nothing."

"Let’s take a good rest today." Xiang Shan said: "We still need a day or two to get acquainted with the city, listen to the information, and be fully prepared."

Xiang Shan said so.

Next is the time to rest.

Although for the knights, Pine Eagle City is full of crisis, long-term emotional tension may still cause people to fall into a negative state and make various mistakes. Rest is also necessary.

Cui Mou still needs to exercise himself and restore his internal strength cultivation base. Yuki is busy training.

Huang Ouguang took the little fellow and was on guard outside.

Xiang Shan entered the state of meditation again, and extended his will with the help of a new version of the online meditation room.

This time is still nothing. The mysterious internal strength expert I encountered last time seemed to have never existed.

Xiang Shan is not depressed. He changed his mind and connected to another website.

That is a blockchain.

The existence of that mysterious not only gave Xiang Shan the latest version of the online meditation room, but also left some information.

The information points to several well-known blockchains on the Internet.

Xiang Shan soon realized that these blockchains should have been established after he fell asleep. He knew some blockchains himself-of course, he only remembered after seeing these addresses.

This is to ensure that he can get martial arts no matter what.

In the blockchain that the mysterious person gave him, there are three martial arts: "Mecha Steel Fist", "Kalashnikov Flow Gun Battle Technique", and "Rebel View of Different Colors" .

These three martial arts are the oldest cyber fighting technique, the oldest Gun Battle Technique and the oldest forming internal strength mental technique.

The "old" here does not mean that they are weak. Of course, the primordial versions of these three martial arts are indeed very weak compared to today's martial arts. However, they themselves are also in constant iteration.

In the past two hundred years, celebrities have continuously uploaded their Martial Dao experience and their own updated versions to the blockchain in Xiang Shan's memory.

However, this also brings huge problems.

The blockchain will fork.

Let's put it this way, the blockchain can be imagined as a set of "rules" shared by all people in the world to write a huge content. In the era when it was first born, this "content" was the "ledger". In the subsequent era, this "content" is "Martial Arts Secret Book".

Because the blockchain is naturally decentralized, it is difficult for powerhouses to delete it with their own will.

This ensures that martial arts can be spread forever.

In many cases, this "rule" can be implemented by "application".

On a certain day, an application suddenly upgraded and added some table structures that were not recognized in the previous version. What will happen?

This new version of the application will continuously package blocks that are not recognized by the "old version application", creating a completely different link from the old version of the packaged blocks.

This is the "fork".

In the traditional centralized software system, because the data storage is centralized, the version management is also centralized, so if there is a major upgrade, it can be set to "cannot log in without downloading the new version "To ensure that users always use the correct version.

But the blockchain is different.

Xia Ke chose it to save the cheats, precisely because it is decentralized, and the cost of deletion is too huge.

But this also means that you can never guarantee that all users will always use only one "uniform rule" to package blocks.

That is something that only centralization can do.

Therefore, the blockchain is inevitably "forked."

This is also one of the inherent flaws of the blockchain ledger-in the era when humans were madly digging virtual deposits, there were continuously relatively short forks that were abandoned.

And those blockchains that Xiang Shan remembers, the problem is more serious.

The whole world is uploading martial arts experience on it. Among these uploaders, quite a few of them are successful in internal strength or have their own understanding of Inner Strength.

This leads to...the "rules" of "packing cheats blocks" can never be unified.

The ancient blockchain in Xiang Shan's memory has too many soft and hard forks and too terrifying.

It’s also mecha Gang Fist. The ancient blockchain that Xiang Shan remembers is like an academic database-level content summary, which is very complicated, and you have to start with the oldest version. , Has been looking for the evolution of this martial arts.

The one given to him by the mysterious person is completely different.
