Chapter 820 Ultrapure Water (Part 2)
Although the first-level combat readiness has been lifted, the basic order of life among the major academies of science has been restored, and there is no need to worry about the catastrophe of legal weapons that may come at any time, the top leaders of the academic community have not completely relaxed their vigilance.
In particular, the major central colleges are still almost secretly maintaining a high level of alert.
After all, this is an aircraft from an alien civilization.
Before life and death, nothing will be purely accidental, and no one is willing to use his or her life and death as a bet.
As Laura's Secret Garden Laboratory continues to conduct in-depth exploration of the tidal civilization aircraft, the laboratory has basically determined that the civilized species that built this aircraft is indeed a soft-bodied insect with an extremely fragile body but a high degree of intelligence.
The next ten days.
The laboratory is completely focused on three aspects: discovering the coordinates of tidal civilization, analyzing the principles of catastrophic weapons, and new applications of ultrapure water magic materials.
The research project Lei Luo is responsible for is to analyze the catastrophic weapons in the aircraft.
In the ultrapure water aircraft with a diameter of two meters, there is no so-called structural layering at all except for the densely packed weak current superconducting lines that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
According to the light screen projections brought back by the alliance's special scholars, its interior was once completely filled with a liquid whose composition was very similar to the moon well water. However, as the liquid was lost, these alien civilizations inside species died painfully from suffocation in a short period of time.
After careful and meticulous processing in the laboratory, Lei Luo separated a total of seven biological specimens from the bottom of the aircraft.
Separating this pool of bugs that are mixed together like egg whites into individuals one by one is definitely a technical job that tests patience and knowledge. After all, this is a brand-new creature that the academic community has never come into contact with!
Lei Luo assigned one of them at the scene as a specimen for the next experimental study.
Of the remaining six, two were divided into dozens of parts and sent to various well-known academies of science. Four remained intact and were temporarily stored in the top-secret herbarium of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences for emergencies.
"In today's academic world, it is almost impossible to find such a fragile creature again."
The old bachelor beside Lei Luo sighed while recording various test data.
"Not to mention that after the wasteland disaster, the creatures in the academic world have undergone extreme adaptive mutations. Even during the period when the Light Creator was enveloped by the Law of Holy Light, this kind of soft-bodied bug with almost no self-protective evolution could only pass through that layer. It can’t even be called the outer membrane of the skin. It passively absorbs nutrients into the body and probably won’t exist. They are as harmless as chlorophyll..."
He sighed as he kept clicking his tongue: "I even suspect that they did not die from suffocation, but from heat, dust in the air, and microbial infection. The natural environment we are accustomed to may be hell for them. , otherwise the ultrapure water would not need to maintain a constant temperature of 12 degrees."
The old man talks a lot.
For so many days, he was the only one in the laboratory who liked to sigh. Fortunately, what he said was not nonsense, so no one expressed any opinions.
In comparison, Lei Luo is undoubtedly much silent.
This made many people who secretly paid attention here and hoped that Lei Luo would make some remarks were slightly disappointed. After all, there were not many opportunities to get in close contact with these academic leaders.
Lei Luo didn't care at all about these external things. He was completely immersed in experimental observation and research. He kept directing the experimental assistants and carefully studied his experimental specimens.
Under a strong light microscope.
After Lei Luo continued to study the soft-bodied bug as a whole for several days, it had been cut into four equal-volume samples.
The body of this creature is in a gelatinous state. It is not distinguished by pure flesh and blood cells. It is more like an energy element creature and is highly malleable. Therefore, it cannot calculate the length or shape like ordinary biological samples. Only data with weights between 2 and 3 grams were obtained.
The digestive organs, excretory organs, and sensory organs in the sample's body are all very few, and the defensive organs are almost nonexistent. It is not difficult to understand that the old man concluded that they may not have died from suffocation, but from pollution or temperature. remarks.
Not only was such a fragile creature not killed by other species in the local food chain, but it was also able to evolve into a civilized society?
Then there is only one explanation.
These ridiculously fragile bugs are really likely to be born in a place like a 'paradise', a closed space filled with high-purity life fluid, where there are almost no natural enemies.
"Tide Spirit."
Amidst the doubts of the experimental assistant on the side, Lei Luo said a noun, and then added: "I want to name this soft-bodied creature species Tide Elf."
After the explanation, Lei Luo personally dimmed the microscope lighting slightly so that he could observe the neurons in the sample more clearly and intuitively.
The fluorescein has already entered the body of the sample during the previous soaking.
It is different from most creatures in this world.
More than 99% of the biological specimens collected by the academic community have their own central nervous system, which is an independent thinking organ similar to the brain. This can help organisms carry out high-power intelligent memory operations. It is a gathering area for the spirit and soul, and is often a gathering place for the spirit and soul. Vulnerable areas of organisms.
But the tidal elves, like the octopus, do not have nerves similar to the brain.
Its neurons are distributed in every energy structure, or elemental cell structure, which means that each of its cells is relatively independent, and the central organs of the brain are dispersed throughout the body.
"One third of a second, 0.001 degree micro-current stimulation."
Lei Luo said suddenly.
He seems to be moving on to the next stage of experimental observation.
Except for a few studies, most laboratories may not use such a short and weak weak current stimulation experiment once in decades.
Microcurrent testers are extremely expensive, so except for a few advanced laboratories, the entire Academy of Sciences does not have one, which is normal.
Zi.
The static electricity flashes away.
Lei Luo, who was observing intently, thought for a moment and then said: "One-half second, 0.002 degree micro-current stimulation."
Zhi...
The static flashed again.
Only this time, some changes were evident in the neurons of the specimen under the microscope.
The old man next to him hurriedly suggested: "Its neuron memory is not completely dead yet, and it mistook the microcurrent as a nerve signal. Maybe we can extract some of their cell memory feedback by repeatedly stimulating the neurons." !”
Unlike searching for memories through the spiritual soul.
Searching for memories through cells and neurons is like opening a blind box. No one is sure what information will be obtained. It can only be said that there is a high probability of obtaining the deepest memory of this creature during its lifetime.
After more than ten consecutive microcurrent stimulations, each time about one minute apart, the microcurrent stimulation only briefly stimulated neuronal activity and did not feed back any nerve signals.
The experiment temporarily reached a bottleneck, and Lei Luo temporarily stopped the experiment.
"Each experiment will permanently destroy about 5% of the neuronal memory. If the correct test direction cannot be found, such repeated trial and error experiments will only destroy the specimen."
The old man nodded in agreement.
He sighed: "Even if we get feedback, with the strength of such low primitive creatures, the mental information that can be passively fed back is probably very little for us. Their life strength is not as strong as for us. Microorganisms are equally huge. Due to the huge difference in life forms between the two sides, it will be extremely difficult to achieve communication, and the required environment and information conversion methods may also be extremely demanding. Summer insects cannot talk about ice."
Just like this, more than a month passed.
Such a high-intensity research experiment involving multiple people for more than two months is quite rare in academia.
And in the process.
The laboratory finally has a certain degree of understanding of the catastrophic weapons of the tidal civilization, and through the technology of catastrophic weapons, it reflects some aspects of the civilization behind it.
"I will temporarily name this catastrophic weapon super-heavy water."
[The Exterminator] In Sicily, the strong woman’s posture is clearly visible.
She stood on the temporary demonstration table in the corner of the laboratory and took out a glass test tube with a serious expression. The liquid inside looked quite transparent, just like ordinary water.
Then she used a glass test tube to extract a drop of super-heavy water and dropped it into simulated seawater filled with high salinity.
drop.
As the super-heavy water is incorporated into it, the high salt content in the FRP simulates seawater and does not seem to have changed much.
Everyone waited silently, not knowing why.
Sicily noticed everyone's emotions, and she chuckled. It was her pleasure at having solved the mystery of the truth through her wisdom and hard work.
Sicily took out a piece of experimental material from the space box and placed it in the experimental glass jar.
This experimental material is an ordinary piece of plastic product.
Just when everyone was confused, a magical scene appeared!
This extremely light piece of plastic product unexpectedly fell to the bottom of the tank as if it weighed more than a thousand pounds the moment it came into contact with the simulated seawater inside the fiberglass.
You must know that everyone here is a senior scholar in academia. Almost as soon as they saw this plastic product, they analyzed its physical properties in their minds and were almost 100% sure of its physical properties. The nature must float on the water.
"And this is just the lawful effect of the passive influence of super-heavy water."
Then Sicily took out another piece of metal while everyone was watching.
She gently opened her palm, and the piece of metal suddenly floated in the center of her palm without any energy support from Sicily, and rotated and swayed slightly with her movements.
This turned out to be a piece of magic material with anti-gravity effect.
"Zero Realm Gold Essence."
Regarding this precious magic material, even if everyone in the laboratory is a senior scholar in the academic world, not everyone can have detailed information. After all, this is a magic material originating from the curvature of space-time. The acquisition of a piece of Zero Realm Gold Essence means that the academic community has paid massive amounts of energy to the Shadow Demon for this purpose.
Immediately afterwards, Sicily placed the zero-realm gold essence above the water tank dripping with super-heavy water.
Bo.
This piece of anti-gravity magical object suddenly became unable to maintain anti-gravity floating and sank into the water tank.
This is obviously because there is some kind of law force that affects the magical properties of this piece of anti-gravity metal, causing it to not float.
But it is different from the previous plastic products.
Although this piece of Zero Realm Gold Essence did not achieve anti-gravity floating, after it fell into the water, it did not completely sink to the bottom, but remained suspended in the water.
Sicily seemed to have expected this.
She took out an energy crystal fragment smaller than a mung bean. The energy contained in this piece of dregs was almost negligible.
As she put this piece of scum into the water, the Zero Realm Gold Essence in the water tank, which was originally in a semi-suspended state, soon lost its anti-gravity magnetic field at a speed visible to the naked eye, or it could be said that it was dragged by some kind of law. It sank to the bottom of the tank.
After two tests, Sicily reached out and took out the reference object from the water tank.
"Combined with the oral confessions of the coral guards, as you just saw, this super-heavy water catastrophic weapon created by the tidal civilization clearly has the ability to change the physical force field of matter, causing matter to lose the reference for relative force."
Loss of relative power?
According to macroscopic physical laws, matter has a gravitational effect and approaches each other.
According to the laws of microphysics, the centrifugal particles of basic particles rotate around the core particles at high speed due to the influence of magnetism and cannot be integrated into one body.
"Although I can't give a detailed scientific explanation of this law, what is certain is that if this kind of catastrophic weapon wants to exert its greatest power, it must be in the deep sea area. Its impact on land is almost negligible. This It should be caused by the living environment and historical factors of tidal civilization. In the sea area attacked by it, any material, including sea water itself, will be affected by the power of its laws and be forced to sink to the bottom of the deep sea for burial, thus forming There were terrifying undercurrents and whirlpools in the Coral Guard's mouth, and that ancient creature only relied on its own incomparable huge biological energy and brute force to escape to the Island of Annihilation with a narrow escape."
Is it a catastrophic weapon that can only be used in the ocean?
So except for some coastal cities, the impact of tidal civilization's catastrophic weapons on the academic world will probably be minimal.
From this point of view, this civilization, which has been tentatively named tidal by academic circles, must have been born in the ocean.
"Try this."
Lei Luo suddenly took out a piece of pale golden magic material. If the Zero Realm Gold Essence is a magic material that only a few scholars have access to in academia, then there are undoubtedly even fewer people who know about this piece of pale golden metal. Only those front-line alchemists who have been exposed to the construction of Sky Fortress for many years will be relatively familiar with this anti-gravity material.
It is also the main magical material used by Lei Luo to cast the star's true body structure, the first gold plating.
"Huh?"
Sure enough, after Lei Luo took out the first gold plating, most people in the laboratory were in a state of doubt.
Lei Luo didn't say much, and casually released a high-temperature field exceeding 250 degrees. After the first gold plating was stimulated by the high temperature, it magically activated its physical properties, becoming light red and transparent, and at the same time slowing down. Slowly floated up.
Lei Luo placed it above the super-heavy water test tank.
"hiss……"
After the light red transparent metal shook for a while, although it barely floated in the air under the gaze of everyone, Lei Luo quickly took a deep breath and looked slightly solemn.
As the magic material used to cast the true body structure, Lei Luo certainly understood its physical properties very well. He also showed considerable disbelief at the energy cost consumed by this piece of magic material to levitate at this moment.
"It actually requires a twenty-fold increase in energy consumption to barely maintain the anti-gravity state. Compared with the energy contained in that mung bean dregs crystal, the energy power output by Lei Luo at this moment is already more than a thousand times higher."
…
A few days later.
The Moon Well water produced by the Tree of Life Academy of Sciences was transported thousands of miles away by a few half-elves to the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences as quickly as possible.
A full 10 liters of moon well water, with a total weight of 35 kilograms!
If ordinary scholars knew that such a huge amount of Moon Well water was purchased here at one time, they would be stunned. You must know that the Tree of Life Academy only sells a few hundred grams of this high-level magic material to the outside world every year, and you can only sigh in your heart. Lanzhou Academy of Natural Sciences has such courage and ability.
And if they knew that such a huge amount of Moon Well water was only used as consumable materials for an experimental study, then they would probably jump in and yell at them, and it would be a waste of natural resources.
Lei Luo carefully poured the Tide Elf specimen into a container filled with Moon Well water using a glass spoon.
This process must be quite fast and precise to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Otherwise, the life energy of the Moon Well water will be diluted and polluted by nature.
Lei Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief after resealing the vessel filled with Moon Well water.
He raised his head and said to the experimental assistant: "One-half second, 0.009 degree microcurrent."
Zi.
The static electricity flashes away.
The billions of remaining neurons in the experimental specimen reacted subconsciously. Immediately after a "pop" sound, a static electricity ripple centered on the experimental specimen swayed in the container filled with Moon Well water. It was difficult for ordinary scholars to detect. , but it is undoubtedly extremely clear to these senior scholars who pay serious attention.
"Neuron feedback signal!"
Lei Luo couldn't help but murmur in surprise. He finally got what he wanted.
It seems that these creatures once did live in a high-purity liquid comparable to moon well water. This liquid is not only their survival element, but also seems to be the intermediary of their spiritual signals. Once they are separated from this high-purity life liquid, , they can no longer maintain even the most basic survival.
"It is indeed a neuron feedback signal!"
The old scholar studying the mysteries of evolution on the side also couldn't restrain his surprise. More than two months of hard work and experimental materials were not wasted, and the experiment finally made progress.
Generally speaking.
When a creature in the Star Veil dies, its neurons will die within an hourglass.
However, due to their special physiological mechanism, the neurons of these tidal elves still maintain their functions two months after death. This is quite incredible in terms of the current knowledge of the academic community.
"However, the communication method of these micro-current ripples may be quite troublesome to decipher, and it will consume some more specimens and a considerable amount of time."
Lei Luo agreed with the old man's point of view.
He said with confidence: "But as long as we can get the other party's civilization coordinates, it is worth spending some time. Even a rough direction and a vague concept of coordinates will do."
time flies.
After more than three months of intense and continuous experiments by many senior scholars, the sealed door of Laura's Secret Garden Laboratory was finally opened again.
The tired and excited people dispersed one after another.
It is not difficult to see from their eyes that they have achieved the expected results, and even exceeded the expectations!
With the full cooperation of several top scholars, this test of a tidal civilization aircraft has achieved a number of experimental progress in the academic world.
"It's another distant coordinate. It's very blurry. The straight-line distance is about sixty star screen units, but it is undoubtedly much closer than the coordinates of the Black Death Civilization. As long as the curvature space-time jumping technology can achieve practical application progress, straight-line flight It’s just less than a year away.”
On the vine swing, the tired Lei Luo smiled and told Laura about the results of the experiments over the past few months.
Her long red hair spread out on the swing.
Her face was filled with unconcealable happiness, and she felt extremely happy every time she spent time with Lei Luo.
"I heard that prehistoric ruins seemed to have been discovered at the Thunder Century Academy of Sciences. Many people went to explore it, but there was no accurate information yet. The reason why they blocked follow-up information at that time was because this incident disrupted the plans of the Thunder Century Academy of Sciences. Don’t you go and take a look?”
When Lei Luo heard this, he couldn't help but snort at the corner of his originally smiling face.
"Master Chubbac has gone too far this time. The Frost Warlock has expressed serious dissatisfaction to me. If it were not for the special circumstances over there, the seat replacement at Thunder Century Central Academy would have already been mentioned in the next alliance. It’s being discussed in the Big Ten Conference.”
Just one month later.
The Vladikko War Academy made a high-profile announcement in the academic world that the Vladikko War Academy has made breakthroughs in the field of energy confinement through technical research on ultrapure water in tidal civilizations, and has applied the technical principles of ultrapure water shields to The major academies of science have made it public.
Under the same defensive power, the energy application power of a protective cover made of ultrapure water technology is almost double that of traditional forbidden products.
Vladik War College even threatened to completely dismantle the defense mechanism of the Sky Fortress, which is more than 50% complete, and use the latest ultrapure water defense technology to make targeted improvements.
For a while.
Papers on the protection and restriction application system of new ultrapure water materials have sprung up almost like mushrooms after a rain.
Affected by this, the Neutrino Underground Laboratory of the X Academy of Advanced Sciences, which stores a huge amount of ultrapure water, cannot help but start to attract attention.
People began to suspect that this laboratory might not be as simple as he said?
