Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Architecture

The shell of the spore began to grow gradually, and the tolerance continued to grow.While it's still hard to see them with the naked eye, that moment isn't too far away.After building the spore shell, the tiny cell-like device uses the same material to start building what lies beneath the shell—a framework that contains the newer, larger organism. This is a growing organism. The larva then proceeded to build a third and final microstructure that was free to move.In addition to the "readers" who collect DNA templates and the "builders" who make shells and tissues, there are now "herders".

The "herdsman" rushes into the body of the host, looking for a specific kind of cell -- the stem cell. The DNA template revealed that the stem cells were exactly what the hatchlings needed. Herders find these stem cells, cut them out and drag them back into their growing, expanding framework.First, the "herdsman" glues these stem cells to the framework through simple chemical bonds, waiting for the arrival of the spherical "reader". The serrated jaws of the spherical "reader" cut into the stem cells, though more gently this time.Microfibrils, just nanometers long, drill into the stem cell's DNA, where a cascade of changes begins.

Because the "reader" can not only read... They can also be written. Stem cells are unaware.They do not know that they are enslaved.They remain the same, producing new cells.Although the newly grown cells are very similar to the cells the stem cells were originally intended to grow, there are some subtle differences.New cells intersperse the growing framework, forming muscle or more specialized tissue. The microorganism that was a tiny spore when it landed has already manipulated the body of the host, using the original biological processing process in the body to create a heterogeneous body, a heterogeneous body that is more evil than a virus.

Moreover, since there is no concept of time for larvae, they will complete their task in just a few days.
