Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

Are you kidding me?
Petroleum organisms?

Some viewers looked at that one photo.

They are questioning it one after another.

"This doesn't look like a living creature at all. It's clearly leaked asphalt or oil."

"Yes, this is obviously some kind of crude oil or asphalt that leaked."

"I don't believe there is anything as outrageous as petroleum organisms in the world."

Obviously no one believed what Ye Zhen said about the petroleum organisms.

Because this is really too outrageous.

This was also Professor Yan Xin’s first reaction.

"How could such a creature exist in the world?"

"Could it be that the oil we use is all the excrement of these petroleum organisms?"

But up to now, they have seen many more outrageous things on Ye Zhen’s show.

But no one knows what life is like in the underground world.

Who says that such life cannot exist underground?

"If you look at it from a scientific point of view, it's not impossible."

“The tenacity of life is beyond our imagination.”

"Things like tardigrades can sleep in an exposed environment in space."

"Once the environment is suitable, it can be revived."

"We have already discovered that there are some anaerobic bacteria and fungi in oil that feed on oil."

"Even traces of primitive archaea have been found in recovered oil."

"If the environment on the surface of our blue planet could evolve to what we have now."

"It seems possible that those creatures that feed on oil could evolve into oil-producing creatures underground."

After Professor Yan Xin used his knowledge to analyze.

The discovery of petroleum organisms may seem outrageous.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.

But all this is based on the premise that the environment in the underground world is really suitable for the existence of living things.

In a special environment, organisms that are suitable for that environment will inevitably evolve.

So it seems that petroleum organisms are not that unacceptable?
On the side of the Yansheng trio.

Professor Zhou frowned, as if he had thought of something.

But I'm not very sure about it.

"Do you still remember what happened in the underground world of Antarctica?" Professor Zhou suddenly asked.

Si Xiaoping nodded and immediately replied, "Of course, I watched that episode several times."

"It's still fresh in my memory. I can still remember the contents clearly now."

Just like everyone has their own preferences.

Among Ye Zhen’s shows, there will definitely be a few episodes that you quite like.

Old Wu nodded, "I still remember most of it."

“After all, it was after that episode that we went to the Eye of the Sahara.”

But then Professor Zhou fell silent and stopped talking.

Si Xiaoping and Old Wu looked at each other, and both of them had a puzzled feeling.

what happened to him?
In the 749th Bureau, they have seen many strange beasts.

So for ordinary people.

This kind of strange creature should not exist, and it is difficult for them to accept.

But for the people in Bureau 749.

No matter how strange the creature is, they can accept it.

After all, we have experienced the incident with the Nian beast.

They also know that there are some strange beasts in the world that they cannot understand.

"Could the so-called petroleum creatures be some kind of unknown strange beast?" Ning Xiu thought of this possibility at the first time.

Bin Zhou nodded slightly, "I don't rule out this possibility."

"After all, oil is not a modern product."

"It has been buried underground all along."

"It doesn't seem strange that a strange beast feeds on oil."

It’s just because our country has too little oil.

For some countries that make a living by selling oil.

my country's oil resources can be said to be extremely scarce.

So it seems reasonable that my country has not found any petroleum organisms. Lao Chen is the most experienced and qualified person.

"If this kind of exotic beast is unique to foreign countries."

"Due to various confidentiality factors, it's not surprising that we don't know."

"Because foreign countries also have agencies like ours to handle abnormal incidents."

“Don’t let the incident spread further.”

Therefore, everyone in Bureau 749 felt that it was not surprising that such strange beasts existed in the world.

Song Xuan looked at the things in the photo.

"This so-called petroleum creature really looks like some kind of giant python or dragon."

“I just don’t know how many there will be.”

Now the experts in Russia have seen the photos shown by Ye Zhen.

In fact, it was already popular in the last century.

But at that time, no one thought that this thing really existed.

In the end it was nothing.

But it wasn't until more than ten years later.

Drilling begins on the Kola Peninsula.

In later days, they dug up similar petroleum organisms.

That’s right, the Kola Superdeep Borehole unearthed oil organisms.

Everyone knows that there is no oil here on the Kola Peninsula.

But petroleum organisms were dug out.

When it was first dug out, those former Soviet scientists touched the oil organism.

According to their recollections.

"At that time, in the narrow passage, it suddenly seemed like something was blocking it."

"We thought it was another malfunction in the drilling process."

"After all, malfunctions are commonplace."

"But we later discovered it during maintenance."

"A dark substance like oil suddenly gushed out of the well."

"We were all shocked at the time and thought we had struck oil."

"Because it's almost the same as crude oil that you dig out of the ground."

"But the thing started to squirm and twist as if it had life."

"Like some kind of fluid, it gradually turned into a long, python-like creature."

"Some of us are bold enough to touch it with our hands."

"I found that the creature was warm, not cold-blooded like reptiles."

If that were all, it would simply prove that the petroleum organisms from more than a decade ago were real.

But then they discovered that this oil organism didn't seem that simple.

The old Soviet man recalled.

"The petroleum organisms actually contain various biological components and remains of the most primitive archaea."

"Initially we thought the oil organisms were soft-bodied organisms like jellyfish."

"Otherwise how can it come out from that hole?"

"Later, we sent this petroleum organism to the laboratory for research."

"The consciousness of the organisms that discovered oil is very primitive, with only the most basic primitive reactions of seeking benefits and avoiding harm."

"It's like some kind of most primitive and low-level organism, like a fungus."

"Then we got some of the ingredients out of it and started analyzing it."

"We found that it was full of hydrocarbons, in addition to some very ancient fungi and anaerobic fungi, as well as various slime molds and primitive biological substances that are difficult to analyze."

"This is actually a life form composed of various microscopic organisms."

Simply put, we humans can also be considered aggregated life forms.

Aggregate life refers to a life form composed of multiple life units, such as cells, individual organisms, etc.

Grouped together in some way, compactly or discretely.

An object or system with high-level overall functions.

These life units achieve overall survival, reproduction and development through interaction, coordination and division of labor.

For example, a certain organ is composed of various types of cells.

Each cell is an independent living individual.

Isn't it the same for us humans? We are made up of countless motionless independent cells. (End of this chapter)
