Did the first RNA copy only one protein?

Ancient DNA is supposed to have consisted of RNA or similar ACTG bases.

The first RNA on earth, if not from space, appeared in a warm and misty primal evaporative lake or ocean, in a chemically stable environment with some kind of rich sludge or brine, and a long reaction time to experiment through trillions of chemical combinations.

That poses a problem for biology, because amino acids are produced in sparse quantities by geology, and we must identify stable amino rich geological processes, like geothermal caves or evaporation systems, where amino acids can be produced, distilled and filtered into sizeable stable blobs. Geologically produced stable amino acid/oily/polymeric sludge left to crystalize into combinations that could make an RNA.

It is logical to suppose that the first RNA discovered how to make a single mucus polymer to protect itself, because it would be fragile without a cell wall, and a cell wall is necessary to make the first RNA. A single protein cell wall is a necessity for the first RNA. It could be a ACTG base that only produces some kind of slime. What is the simplest form of Slime?

Primal RNA perhaps made one of the simplest mucus or oil polymer possible that has the greatest protective protective capacity, an aggregating organic polymer that can contain repeating ACTG code within a single continuous strand of itself. The strand would only need to break into discreet segments to with ACTG contained within each segment, to signify the first living cells on the planet. The single polymer organism would simultaneously grow and protect the RNA produced within it.

It is a theory that may be considered, to base research upon for a narrower identification of possible simplest ACTG-slime chemicals that can be made in a laboratory and that are the simplest for of RNA based life possible.
