Chapter 1242: So It’s Not an Earthworm?

On the synchronous orbit, a large dormant cabin was transported into the heavily guarded laboratory. What was frozen in this dormant chamber was surprisingly a specimen of a Martian species from tens of millions of kilometers away - the devil bug.

At the same time, scientists from several major member states of the Earth Defense Alliance also gathered here.

The research fields of these scientists cover a series of fields such as biology, chemistry, etc. that may provide help for research, and each of them is an authoritative figure in their respective research fields. After all, there are only a few places available to each country, and even fewer are allocated to various universities, research centers, and scientific research institutions. Even for the sake of face, it is impossible to send a fool here.

The procedure of the experiment was carried out strictly in accordance with the order decided at the workshop.

The entire specimen is strictly sealed in the isolation room, and anyone entering or exiting the isolation room for sampling or experiments must wear protective clothing. Only one person is allowed in the laboratory at a time, with a maximum of one assistant. No props in the laboratory are allowed to be taken out, and all used instruments will be destroyed directly after the experiment.

The reason for being so strict is that it is not certain whether the remains of devil bugs carry viruses, bacteria, or microorganisms that may threaten species on earth.

This is no joke.

No one knows what magical things the species that "traveled" over three billion years ago carry with them. Maybe a certain bacterium in their intestines that helps digestion becomes a biochemical weapon that can kill an endangered species on earth.

In short, under such strict supervision, the experiment began.

The first item to be studied is blood——

"...Their blood is highly corrosive and contains an organic acid that we have never seen before... Incredibly, it is more corrosive than trifluoromethanesulfonic acid!" Looking at the data displayed on the instrument , exclaimed Coverdale Taylor, a chemist from Germany.

Hearing these words from the loudspeaker outside the isolation room, shocked cries suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

As we all know, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is almost the strongest known organic acid. Not only is it widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries, it can even replace traditional inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid on many occasions, playing a role in optimizing and improving processes!

However, after separation and purification, the organic acid flowing in the blood of the devil bug turned out to be an acid stronger than trifluoromethanesulfonic acid!

This discovery alone is enough to have a disruptive impact in the chemical industry. It is foreseeable that once this news is released,

Chemical factories around the world are racking their brains to find out the chemical formula of this new organic acid, and then study its application value and industrial production methods.

Everyone looked at the test tube with heated eyes.

At this moment, a biologist from Russia suddenly spoke.

"What do we name this acid?"

There was total silence in the laboratory, and you could hear a needle drop.

This sentence caused Coverdale Taylor in the isolation room and all the scientists watching in the laboratory to fall silent. It also made everyone look at the test tube differently.

According to the rules of the scientific community, under normal circumstances, things are named after whoever discovered them. However, now there are more than fifty experts standing in this laboratory. Strictly speaking, they have participated in the experiment, and their influence in the international scientific community is not low.

If it is called Taylor acid because of the pH identification done by Verdale Taylor, the scientists here will definitely not be convinced.

Separation, purification, pH measurement, just these little things, any one of the students they teach can do it!

Verdale Taylor, who was wearing a protective suit, was obviously aware of this. He looked at Jiang Chen outside the isolation room awkwardly and wisely kicked the ball to the big boss, thus distinguishing himself from the jealousy and disapproval of his peers. He took it out with a convinced look.

"I think we should ask Star Ring Trading for their opinion. After all, they discovered and collected the specimens..."

This proposal barely won the nod of the big guys in the scientific community present.

In fact, they also know in their hearts that this problem is difficult to deal with. Anyone who takes this name will offend a lot of people.

"I agree."

"That's right. After all, it was discovered by Star Ring Trading."

"no comment."

Facing the gazes of the scientists, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.

He was just watching the excitement, so why did he have any opinions?

But since others were asking this, he had no choice but to give these people face, so he lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Let's call it Devil's Acid. As for the patent...it's signed to the Earth Defense Alliance Foundation."

"..."

Jiang Chen's words silenced all the scientists present for a while, and finally sighed helplessly.

This was an opportunity to win the Nobel Prize and even leave a name in history, but he chose such a... well, such a hasty name.

I have always heard that the chairman of Xinghuan Trading has a bad taste in naming, and today I learned that he is indeed well-deserved.

However, unlike those scientists who sighed and lamented, Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with his naming taste.

Isn't this formic acid called formic acid? In the same way, the thing extracted from the devil bug is called devil acid, right? After all, this blood is also contributed from other people's stomachs, so it's better not to take advantage of this insect.

As for what Nobel Prize goes down in history?

Jiang Chen felt that if nothing unexpected happened, his legendary life would definitely be recorded in history. Something like the Nobel Prize. When he leads the Earth Fleet to destroy the colonial ships of the Harmonious Civilization, and then beats them to the point where they cede their territory and beg for mercy... a Peace Prize will definitely not escape him.

As for that patent, it is probably worth a lot of money. But now that his family fortune is so big, he doesn't care about this anymore. And anyway, most of the funds from the Earth Defense Alliance Fund were spent on Future People Heavy Industries and Star Ring Trade.

It has to be said that his brain is not at all on the same wavelength as these researchers.

The experiment continues.

Jiang Chen originally thought that it would be great to have such a breakthrough discovery, but he did not expect that the exclamations from outside and outside the isolation room would be heard one after another.

"It's incredible! This blood cell form simply refreshed my understanding of biology...it can actually complete life activities in such an extreme acid-base environment!"

"Its blood vessels can block hydrogen ions from entering tissue cells, but will not hinder the material exchange between blood cells and blood vessel cells? Impossible... This is too unscientific!"

"Let me take a sample and experiment again! Just once! I just discovered something very important! This is exactly what I have been studying! I have to test a group-"

"Come out quickly! This experimental project is over. No matter what you find, just go to the back and line up!"

"That's right! Don't waste everyone's time!"

"..."

Standing nearby, Jiang Chen looked confused at the scientists who were going crazy over the specimens, his expression a little messy.

What about integrity?

What about reserve?

What about the style of a master?

It was fine when the seminar was held yesterday, but after meeting with the specimens, they all became like this.

However, what Jiang Chen didn't know was that for a scientific worker who aspired to be recorded in history, being reserved was not a problem at all in the face of a breakthrough discovery that could cause an earthquake in the academic world! Many of them have been stagnant in their respective research fields for a long time. This ancient creature from Mars 3.7 billion years ago is like a martial arts secret book in a martial arts novel, opening up a new world for them. 's door.

reserved? Morality? what is that?

What Jiang Chen didn't expect the most was that he originally planned to throw some "earthworms" out to whet the appetites of his allies.

Why now... seems to have evolved into the rhythm of discovering a new continent?

Believe it or not, what he threw was not a worm, but a treasure.

Looking at the excited scientists, Jiang Chen thought in his heart that he couldn't laugh or cry...
