American Comics: My Dad Is Batman

In nature, there are many very magical creatures.

Some creatures can emit light, and some creatures can produce highly poisonous substances.

And some creatures can discharge electricity.

The electric eel is one such creature.

As the creature that can produce the largest electric current in nature.

Humans call it high voltage lines in the water.

It can discharge electric current up to 800 volts.

This is the result of years of evolution.

On both sides of the electric eel's tail, there are many muscle lamellae that have evolved over many years.

Each muscle slice can generate very little electric current, but tens of thousands of muscle slices are connected in series.

The electric current emitted is quite objective.

The reason why these evolved muscles can emit electric current is also very simple.

The head of the electric eel is the positive pole, and the tail is the negative pole.

There are a lot of special proteins in evolved muscles.

These proteins are under the control of nerve signals.

It can push ions to penetrate the cell plasma membrane and form flowing charged ions.

This also forms electric current.

This electric current flows from the head of the electric eel to its tail.

Can kill small fish or large fish.

And the electric eel.

Because of the good insulation properties of fat originally, it should have the ability to generate weak electric current if it evolved over many years.

survived.

For Jason, these cells are very important. (cgde) Because this kind of cell is powered by ATP.

ATP hydrolysis releases a large amount of energy.

Only when the electric eel discharges the proteins in the muscle cells can the back pressure of the ions push the ions into the interior of the plasma membrane.

At the same time, the sodium ion pump above the plasma membrane slowly pumps the exchanged sodium ions into the cell.

This creates a cycle.

no doubt.

The energy utilization efficiency of this summary is very high.

The energy inside ATP is directly converted into electrical energy.

No other conversion steps are required.

Improved energy utilization efficiency.

What they want to study is actually this transformation mechanism.

Replace the cytoplasmic membrane with a thin film of some kind of inorganic substance.

Ion pathways are then built to simulate protein action.

In this way, a directional electric current can be formed outside the inorganic film, which can fully meet their requirements.

They were doing sampling work at the moment.

"Jason, have you finished sampling?"

Tony Stark stood a few meters away from Jason with a look on his face as if he was in danger.

Jason holds a dead electric eel in one hand.

Remove the cells as you go.

The eyes of the electric eel located on both sides of its body are looking at the sky, some of them unwilling to rest in silence.

"It's almost done. It only needs a few more pieces to complete."

"Unfortunately, after these cells were frozen, the cell structure has been destroyed.

"And many proteins also lose their activity."

"Our research would be very troublesome."

Jason said with a frown.

If it were on earth.

There are so many types of electric eels they can use.

And they are all alive.

But on the spaceship.

This is an ingredient that Tony Stark brought here for a taste.

It's their only experimental material.

It's really very troublesome.

The sampling work was completed with care.

Jason looked at Tony who was hiding a few meters away.

"Why are you traveling so far? Come here to analyze the protein structure."

Jason picked up the petri dish and wanted to hand it to Tony Stark.

but.

Tony Stark stepped back.

"Can I choose not to participate in this event?"

| "I see, your old habits are back again, right?".
