Microbial Civilization Precursors

Would a creature similar to semi-aquatic slime mold living on a mostly freshwater planet with shallow seas be able to build technology to the extent that modern humans do? Assuming that each individual cell in the slime mold had a form like that of amoeba in the genus Chaos and had organelles that effectively work as dna computers, would the collective be able to have an intelligence greater than or equal to that of a human if each colony contained, say, 100 billion of the single cells? And finally, depending on if the answer to the previous question is yes or no, would colonies have the capability of working together to achieve common goals?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance
