My Xueba Life Simulator

Chapter 286

【…】

[On the tenth day, the bounty for Prototheca quickly became a sensation in the world. This is the scientific issue with the highest bounty so far, and it has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. You have spent a lot of money to establish 20 research institutes around the world. It is to study this topic, and the research institute has attracted biological experts who want to get a bounty, and they all come here especially...]

【...Many researchers put forward conjectures and suggestions, but they turned out to be wrong. The problem of Prototheca has become a difficult problem in the world...】

【No. 20 days, you published a scientific report on Jirease, which shocked the world. This is the first bacterial enzyme that is beneficial to humans extracted from Prototheca, causing a tsunami to the scientific community... 】

[No.20 One day, Tian Rui came to you by plane and told you that you won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics with a prize of 10 US dollars. You asked her to accept the award instead of you, and you must continue to do experiments in the laboratory. ...]

【…】

The final result of this simulation is the same as the previous dozen times, and nothing is obtained.

The only upside is knowing you'll be making an extra $10 soon.

Gu Feng is a little frustrated. It seems that it is really difficult to complete the task of discovering new resources. Is it really necessary to set up laboratories all over the world and call on smart people from all over the world to study together?

In the simulator, smart people from all over the world studied together, but they didn't find out why.

Gu Feng fell into entangled emotions.

"Xiaofeng, why do you look unhappy?"

Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"No."

Sitting in front of the desk, Gu Feng put down the book in his hand. When he was doing the simulation just now, he used the book to cover up his daze, but the page of the book was not turned, so Ling Xiaoxiao could still see it.

Ling Xiaoxiao handed the mechanical doll she made to Gu Feng, "Look, this is an alarm clock."

"It's really abstract art style."

Gu Feng commented, and suddenly felt that maybe he should put aside the research on Prototheca for a while, and change his mind.

"Xiaoxiao, you brought enough materials, right?"

"It's all in the warehouse, what's wrong?"

Without the blueprints, what Ling Xiaoxiao made were small wind-up toys, which didn't have a high-tech texture, so there were still a lot of materials left.

"Then let's improve the Dafang Box. I was short of materials before, and I have been forgetting about it."

"Big square box? Did you bring it?"

Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously, mainly because she has been here for so long and has never seen Gu Feng use this magical means of transportation.

"of course."

Gu Feng asked Ling Xiaoxiao to close her eyes, pretending to be mysterious and rummaging in the closet, in fact, she took out a large square box from the 1 square meter warehouse that she always carried.

When Ling Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she saw the Dafang Box placed in front of her.

"I want it to add the function of a submarine."

Gu Feng said.

"submarine?"

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Feng in surprise.

"That's right, submarine, we can dive underwater and see the scenery of the seabed together."

Gu Feng said with a smile.

"Great, so let's do it now? How do we transform it?"

Ling Xiaoxiao immediately asked excitedly.

Gu Feng took both Ling Xiaoxiao and Dafang Box to the underground warehouse, and began to use various tools to modify the Dafang Box.

While the researchers were busy doing experiments, Gu Feng was also messing around in the basement until the transformation of the big square box was completed.

A week later, Gu Feng took Ling Xiaoxiao to experiment in the sea himself, accompanied by two mechanical dogs.

In case something goes wrong with the large square box, a mechanical dog is needed for emergency rescue.

"Are you sure you want to go into the water with me?"

Gu Feng asked nervously, because he didn't know if there would be an accident in Dafang Box.

"determine."

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded, this was also an adventure for her.

"Ok."

Gu Feng did a simulation before this, and came to the conclusion that Dafang Box is very stable.

Sitting in a large square box, the two dived into the sea water and started their underwater adventure.

This is completely different from the underwater picture they saw in Phuket when they were traveling. The floating ice on the sea level actually has a large volume submerged in the sea, and some of them are as large as mountains. These sea ice are in the deep blue There are different forms in the ocean, just like irregular artistic sculptures in the kingdom of giants, decorating the endless sea palace.

The Arctic is actually an ocean basin surrounded by continents, and sea ice is the most prominent environmental feature in the Arctic Ocean ecosystem.Among them, the perennial sea ice cover covers an area of ​​about 800 million square kilometers, accounting for nearly 60% of the total sea area, so this is the most common and most magical scenery.

Sea ice supports a highly productive sea ice biome, including phytoplankton sea ice diatoms, zooplankton sword water fleas, sea ice bacteria, etc., which together breed rich crustacean biological resources such as krill, which Crustaceous biological resources provide a large amount of food for polar marine fish, provide food sources for marine mammals such as walruses, seals, sea lions and whales, and even maintain a large number of migratory birds.

The Dafang Box dived 20 meters, and it was almost completely dark. This is because the thick ice layer blocked the sunlight. When I dived to the seabed and turned on the searchlight, the light beam was like a magician's wand, and the cold and dark seabed suddenly became dark. look.

The rock face is a vibrant world of colour, with bright red sun starfish clinging to the rock, surrounded by flower-like anemones and swaying with pastel-coloured corals.

"It's so beautiful, I can't think of such a cold place with such an ecological environment."

Ling Xiaoxiao sighed, it was like going on vacation with Gu Feng for the first time.

Later, they saw sea slugs known as "jewels of the seabed", large brown algae, and arctic jellyfish.

Although the colorful arctic jellyfish is beautiful in appearance, it is very deadly. Its toxin is no less than that of cobras, and it is more powerful than man-of-war jellyfish. If you encounter it, if you do not treat it in time within a few hours, you will die Danger.

In addition to the common schools of fish, Gu Feng and Ling Xiaoxiao also saw narwhals in the deeper waters.

The weight of a narwhal can reach 1000 kg to 1600 kg, and its body length can reach 4 meters to 4.5 meters, which does not include its long teeth.

Gu Feng estimated that the two he saw were father and son or brothers. The large one weighed about 1400 kilograms, and the small one weighed less than 1000 kilograms. They belonged to small cetaceans.

But there is no doubt that both of them are giants. Fortunately, they did not have enough curiosity. They glanced indifferently at the large square box of the submarine that would glow, and then swam away on their own, feeling like a single mother and child. Chase the route of a family member.

The horns on the top of the narwhal's head are actually teeth. They have two teeth. One is exposed and grows very long, and the other is hidden in the mouth. Its length is almost half the length of the narwhal's body. One, generally grows from the upper jaw and the left side of the mouth of the male narwhal V.

Scientists disagree on the purpose of narwhal tusks, and many conflicting theories have gradually emerged.Some say it is used to show its powerful aggression, others say it is used to break the ice.

Researchers have found evidence of the basic structure of the dental tube and tooth, which is found in almost all teeth, including humans. The dental tube is the remnant of the process of cell growth, and millions of tiny particles Nerves run from the central nerve of the tooth to the outer layer of the tooth all connected together.

The tooth tubes in the human mouth are very sensitive to things that are too cold. These tooth tubes are usually covered with tooth enamel. Only when they are inadvertently exposed, we will feel uncomfortable and painful, such as tooth decay.

But the narwhal's dental tube penetrates the outermost layer of the tooth and is directly exposed to the outside world, feeling the cold environment of the Arctic.

Turns out, despite their drab appearance, narwhal tusks actually act as a kind of superficially sensitive cell membrane.Its dental tubes contained a plasma-like solution, and one explanation is that it was used to sense the saltiness of seawater.

Scientists developed a prototype device to test this theory, observing brain activity in narwhals when their tusks were exposed to salt water.

They found that narwhal activity is inextricably linked to the formation of ice sheets, which in turn affect the salinity of seawater, and that narwhals may sense small changes in seawater from miles away.

It is said that in the Middle Ages in Europe, dukes and powerful people were enchanted by a kind of "horn".For nearly 100 years, the rich and the aristocracy paid a fortune for this hard-working 'horn'.It is rumored that if this "horn" is soaked in poisonous food and wine, the color of the poisonous substance will turn black, and it will make a "pop" sound, and the poisonous effect will be lost.

In fact, this attractive "horn" is a deformed large tooth of a narwhal, so it may be more appropriate to call it a toothed whale.However, little is known about the narwhal, and even fewer people have seen the animal.

Even today, despite people's efforts to track and observe this mysterious animal, the true face of the narwhal is still largely a mystery, but this is not a scientific issue for Gu Feng to consider. He is not a biologist after all. Not much interest in studying narwhals.

That is, when he saw a narwhal, a series of knowledge about this kind of cetacean emerged in his mind, which stemmed from his rich biochemical foundation and points.

This was an exploration without encountering any danger. The Dafang Box dived steadily into the seabed 1000 meters, reaching the limit of its ability to dive, which is already comparable to the best submarine of this era.

No matter how deep it is, it can't bear the water pressure, and the human body can't bear the water pressure and water temperature outside. Once it goes out, it should turn into a gorgeous blood flower.

Dafang Box started to dive and return.

Ling Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up: "It's great, the diving function of the Dafang box."

"1000 meters is the limit, and it can't go deeper. This is also the limitation of technology and materials."

Gu Feng said seriously.

"I already think it's pretty good. Ordinary submarines can only dive to a depth of 600 meters."

Ling Xiaoxiao comforted her.

"Ah."

Gu Feng raised the corner of his mouth, and after watching the underwater scenery, he was in a good mood, and he was no longer tense because he had not completed the task for a long time.
