No one knows how lightning life appears, just as no one knows how the original organic molecules such as amino acids were born from the crazy collision and fierce reaction of inorganic matters. In short, in the atmosphere of the Paleo superstar in the past billions of years, violent energy fluctuations have been released and exploded in the form of lightning countless times. Relying on incredible coincidence, lightning has captured some unusual particles - rare elements from the depths of the Paleo superstar or outer space, such as argon, etc.

When strong lightning penetrates the core of the argon element, it is immediately vaporized by extremely high temperature into crystal clear and perfect plasma balls. The negatively charged free electrons form its outer layer, and the positively charged ions form its inner layer. The inner and outer layers form an obvious demarcation, but allow energy to freely circulate and transform, just like the membrane and wall of biological cells, a great yin and yang that can communicate with the heaven and earth.

In other words, countless chances of lightning storms have created a miracle of life, a gaseous, purely energy, plasma "cell".

Of course, this kind of "plasma cell" is not the same as a cell in the sense of carbon-based life, and it does not have the so-called "genetic material".

However, the form of life is originally colorful, and genetic information is not necessary to be transmitted by genes. The five definitions of cells are defined - being able to replicate themselves, being able to transmit information, having metabolic mechanisms, being able to grow by itself, and having obvious boundaries separated from the outside world. These conditions are all met by "plasma cells".

Although at the beginning, "life" could only last for a few short and subtleties, in its short and glorious life, it could also continuously draw energy from the outside world, expand and even divide. It could extend its lightning tentacles, adsorb the surrounding neutral elements, such as argon, helium, even methane, ethane, etc., add its own energy reaction, emit colorful light, and even divide itself into two different plasma cells, each plasma cell carries the same electromagnetic characteristics.

It can even transmit information by radiating electromagnetic wave energy into other plasma cells, so that the atoms in each plasma cell maintain the same oscillation frequency.

If this is not considered "cell" and not considered "life", then what is the meaning of the definition of life?

Li Yao noticed that this wonderful lightning elf has not appeared for a long time, far less than the glorious history of human civilization of 100,000 years, and is even more incomparable to the Pangu civilization or even the civilization of the "black wall maker" billions of years ago.

Their "history" is only about two or three thousand years.

Two or three thousand years ago, it was the time when two high-quality stars close to the ancient superstar entered the end of their lives and began to bloom violently, with signs of "supernova explosion".

Perhaps, it was the violent jets of matter and energy that struggled dyingly before the stars fell, which injected new vitality into the atmosphere of the ancient giants, which led to the birth of these lightning elves.

They are perfect, "children of the sun".

Although it only has two or three thousand years of history, they have crossed the journey that carbon-based intelligent life takes billions of years.

Their lives are short and extremely intense. Each lightning breaks through the sky of the ancient superstar, and can only last for a few seconds to ten seconds at most. Within the ten seconds of lightning, billions of plasma cells were born in lightning. Lightning is their river of life and their eternal destination. They must constantly absorb various elements in the atmosphere within ten seconds, try new discharge structures and electromagnetic binding force fields, and try to continue both themselves and lightning for a longer time, even if a microsecond is good. If they cannot do this, they will split and proliferate wildly, and try to "jump" to another newly born lightning before this lightning is annihilated.

"Survival, survive, survive!"

Li Yao seemed to be able to hear that the newly born plasma cells roared with infinite desire in the "cracking" arc.

Yes, the meaning of life is not just survival, but if you can't even survive in the first place, you can't find any meaning.

At the source of any life that has just been born, especially in such a harsh and cruel source, survival itself is the only meaning.

Every brain cell of Li Yao is surrounded by lightning.

He was full of respect and "appreciated" this poem of life that lasted for thousands and billions of years.

He "sees" that countless plasma cells seized the short and delicate lives, constantly adsorbing and swallowing the surrounding elements, trying to use various elements and atomic oscillation frequencies to form the cornerstone of his life.

Among them, 99.99% of the attempts ended in failure. The plasma cells that swallowed the wrong elements and used the wrong oscillation frequency instantly annihilated, without even a ripple. What they received was 0.001% of the lucky ones, who could extend their lives by 0.001 microseconds.

Before annihilation, these lucky people immediately used electromagnetic radiation to transmit new elements, vibration frequency and other information, and shared them with all "compatriots" in the same lightning.

These "compatriots" either split wildly, increasing the number of plasma balls in lightning with geometric stages, or trying to jump out of lightning like a moth to a flame, slashing waves in the sea of ​​methane and helium elements, finding another new lightning bolt, and fighting for a few more seconds or more for the entire tribe.

It was such a crazy attempt. Within tens of tens of seconds, the survival time of the plasma balls increased from a few subtle to nearly one second. The lightning they lived in was transformed by them to be different from ordinary lightning, which could last for several minutes, dozens of minutes or even longer. They even consciously seduced several lightning together and in an incredible way, "weaving" into a three-dimensional geometric shape that was sophisticated. Everything was just to improve the survival time of lightning in the atmosphere and the ability to transmit ultra-long distances.

They are building their own "star sea warships and spaceships". They are refining lightning into their own spaceships!

Li Yao "sees" that the plasma cells that upgraded lightning into a "warship" gradually gained a high level of self-organization ability in the fierce battlefield of life. Their exploration of the entire planet also unfolded. They are no longer limited to the most intense places of lightning, but they control lightning, circling the magnetic field, and spread to all directions of the ancient superstar.

Then, they discovered that it could further leap in life and evolve into "civilization", which was the most obvious red spot on the ancient superstar.

The Great Red Spot is a super strong cyclone with a diameter of more than thousands of kilometers, and often lasts for more than one hundred years.

Within the super cyclone, the violent changes in air pressure can make the lightning discharge reaction more violently, faster, and create more possibilities.

The super cyclone constantly stirs up the surrounding matter, and even absorbs a large amount of matter from the depths of the ancient giants and gushs out. It also looks like a volcanic eruption in the depths of the primitive ocean, bringing rich energy and matter in the center of the earth, becoming the initial cradle of life and bringing more abundant elements to plasma cells.

The special substance "red phosphorus", which constitutes the great red spot, can release magnificent and unpredictable flames in the ultra-high-speed friction of lightning, and become the carrier of "civilization".

That's right, each beam of "red phosphorus fire" can only last for a few minutes and a maximum of several hours. It is a "fleeting" thing measured by human time scale. However, for plasma cells that can pass on a generation of subtle and seconds, the combustion of a beam of flame is long enough, just like a paper that can last for decades of undecay, it can be used to make "books" and inherit "wisdom".

In this way, plasma cells control lightning, looking for one big red spot after another, reproduction, prosperity and development, and establishing a true "lightning civilization".

Their civilization is of course completely different from the civilization established by carbon-based intelligent life. At least, Li Yao could not understand 99% of the information he read - he had no idea what these plasma cells were doing, what they were building, and what they were pursuing.

On the other hand, if the "lightning civilization" can observe the human world's wine, sex, wealth, love, hate, national rise and fall, heroic epic, etc., they will definitely not be able to understand what these highly self-organized carbon element condensates are doing, right?

However, there are some things that are common to all "civilizations".

Li Yao "saw" that plasma cells actively ignited bundles of red phosphorus fires deep in the Great Red Spot, and recorded specific information with jumping flames.

Perhaps, that was their major research discovery, their understanding of the world and the universe, their secret method of inheriting life, and their method of constructing a more powerful "blitz warship".

It is also possible that it is their verses of "faith" and "love", which are gorgeous and useless displays, and even the mantra of superstitious religion developed based on their origins.

Similarly, just like they tried to transform the lightning where they were, now they began to transform the super cyclone where they were. They accurately manipulate current, charge and voltage, control the clouds made of helium and methane, and control the speed and angle of the storm, just to make the Great Red Spot where they are larger and stable, last longer, and can draw more elements from the depths of the ancient superstars, and can carry more magnificent red phosphorus fire.

The naturally generated erythema can only last for hundreds of years, but after their transformation, it can last for three to five hundred years - in the scale of lightning civilization, this is almost eternal.

Then, there is war.

——War, especially civil war, is an indispensable part of the growth process of all civilizations.

The war between two large red spots, billions of lightning, and uncalculable plasma cells has begun!
