Son of the Stars

Chapter 45 New Discoveries

Ever since Lu Chen and Mu Zhiran proposed the concept of "quantum mechanical contagion", Mu Zhiran has been thinking about a very serious problem.

After confirming that quantum release syndrome is also a "quantum mechanical contagion", Mu Zhiran submitted the question he had been thinking about to the research group for discussion. The excited state falls back to the ground state and explodes, so why don't other animals and plants?

Or... do we need to worry that a fallen leaf, a puppy, a salted fish, or a mosquito can blow a person to pieces?
A mosquito weighs about 2.5 milligrams. If the abundance of hydrogen contained in its body is the same as that of humans, then its explosive equivalent is almost 1.5 grams.Under this equivalent, the killing radius of 5 psi overpressure is about 7.6 cm.

If this mosquito just exploded on the forehead of a person - considering their natural habits, the probability of this is actually very high - then these damn little bugs are almost the same as self-exploding assassin drones.

If you look at a smaller range, it is not impossible to have a killer that is more hidden than a bug.For example, the intestinal flora that coexists with humans suddenly began to release ultraviolet rays and a lot of heat.Estimated by the total mass and quantity of intestinal flora, the intestinal tract of a normal person will be burnt and perforated in the blink of an eye.

Of course, people's physiques cannot be generalized, and some people's intestines may be directly cooked to nine maturity by bacteria.

But no matter how people's physique cannot be generalized, people with cooked intestines are designated as unable to survive.

When Academician Tang Qinglong dug deep into the past record data, Mu Zhiran was not idle.She sent a commission request to researchers in North America, hoping that these colleagues who are interested in hunting can provide some tissue samples of local wild animals.While waiting for these entrusted samples to arrive, Mu Zhiran walked around the green space around the research center twice, collecting many leaf samples of the same plant.

Most of the researchers in North America have two extreme personalities, one is similar to Giuseppe, and the other is introverted, homely, and cowardly.Whenever they are free, their favorite place to go is their dormitory bedroom.Occasionally there will be some group activities, such as getting together and playing "board games" such as Dungeons and Dragons, each with a handwritten paper notebook.

The rest of the researchers went in another direction—they liked personal vehicles with 25-inch upward tires, and they had to be "pickup" versions with rear buckets.They also like guns. Electromagnetic guns are not bad, but the best guns have to be guns with brass cartridges and fixed gunpowder.

These researchers will drive such vehicles on their off days and plunge into the swamp to start hunting.From elk to mountain lions, bison to alligators.No matter what kind of wild animal it is, as long as it passes in front of these old brothers, it will have to be shot twice.

Sometimes there is no decent prey for a whole day, and the "hunters" with itchy hands will even go to the university [-] kilometers away with their weapons.The "food street" outside the university is full of rats on the back kitchen road, and at least one or two hundred of them can be killed overnight by squatting.

Of course, the "experimental samples" they handed over to Mu Zhiran did not include rat meat or duck necks.But there were plenty of other meats—smoked venison, stuffed beef sausage, even salted lion and bear.

After these samples were tested, Mu Zhiran got two surprising results.

In all samples, lithium atoms showed a normal tendency to scatter.And after the extracted hydrogen atoms stood in a dark room for more than 24 hours, no trace of any ultraviolet emission could be detected.

Animals and plants appear to be innately insensitive to quantum mechanical contagion.

This discovery was released by Tang Qinglong today, mainly to boost everyone's morale.After all, this unlucky Watanabe went out and didn't bring any good news back. This unlucky thing came back with a downcast face. What about the morale of this team?
In order to solve the problem of team morale, Tang Qinglong also worked as a theoretical mathematician to come up with an observation and hypothesis that still has no answer.This incident was enough for Old Tang, and after talking about Mu Zhiran's discovery, he coughed dryly for a long time.

Almost spit it out.

But the others listening didn't think there was a problem, and everyone was even excited about it.

"We really don't understand high-energy physics and quantum mechanics, but the study of biology...we are quite good at it." Yang Jianmin became interested, and he continued enthusiastically, "If we can find them, they will be able to control the quantum mechanics of infectious diseases." Can the cause of insensitivity be reversed to deduce the route and cause of human infection?"

Just now Yang Jianmin was hooked with a little bit of enthusiasm and daydream, and Lu Chen's cold water poured over him, "The Quantum thing can't be seen with a microscope—besides, what infection source can choose a specific species to infect?"

High-level creatures are actually not a very big "circle". In this field, most creatures have something in common.This commonality is not such a big and generalized feature of "one nose and two eyes".It is built on a more microscopic level, and even a lower level of common ground.

For example, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, such as DNA replication, such as the role of mitochondria, and the specificity of AQP aquaporin.

These characteristics of advanced organisms are basically the same, only individual species may have the problem of lacking some special biological enzymes.

That's why dogs can't eat chocolate, but they can be used as experimental samples to help study the safe range of human drug doses.

However, Yang Jianmin withstood Lu Chen's ruthless attack this time, and came back directly with an A, "Research in this field is valuable even if it fails-it can also help researchers in other fields to clarify their thinking and find new ideas. A new entry point..."

"Brother, if you're tired recently, just tell me." Lu Chen said with concern, "Would you like to take a rest in the afternoon?"

Yang Jianmin blew his beard and stared at him and retorted, "What do you mean, kid? Do you mean I want to be lazy?"

"One day, I'll look at the case for you."

"Thank you Brother Lu." Yang Jianmin's face changed without warning, and he said with a smile, "Then I'll go back to the dormitory first."

The small theater of the master and the apprentice did not win the support of many people. On the contrary, Lu Chenpo's sentence "dogs and humans have similar drug safety levels" served as a reminder for everyone.

"If there is any obvious difference, it should be the height." Giuseppe, who was just pulled into the group meeting today, said, "The height of these animals is lower than normal humans. The average height of Nigerians is 1.63 meters. Does this mean that short people have significantly lower rates of mental illness than tall people?"

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, a little uncertain whether Giuseppe's words were racial discrimination.Tang Qinglong frowned and asked, "The average height of Dongsang people is not too high, right? Their incidence rate is almost catching up with North America."

"The average height of Dongsang people is 170 centimeters, which is above average." Watanabe defended himself and his compatriots, "This speculation is still a bit rough. If it is affected by height, does it mean pilots or even astronauts? Are you more likely to get sick than ordinary people?"

Watanabe was about to say something more, but his cell phone rang suddenly.After answering the phone, Watanabe's expression quickly "frozen",

He hung up the phone and said to Lu Chen and Yang Jianmin, "The Sicilian is going to be transferred to your hospital. His condition is very bad."
