Chapter 557: The tentacles are cute? I drop Mayer~~
On the other hand, Oren Drake has been at Shoreline University for a while now, and has been working on a new hibernation project for a while.
Oren was thrilled that this was a new direction for him, and instead of copying his research at Alcor and continuing it, Oren was leading the hibernation project, which used a completely new technical approach.
A chimpanzee has been transported to the lab since yesterday, which is undoubtedly a new development, and today it will enter the cryonzee surgery.
In the morning, Ye Hua took several of his students to visit Oren's laboratory, the purpose was to cultivate their scientific interests, Lin Zifan and Feng Chao were very excited to learn that they were going to visit the laboratory, and their biggest ambition now is to hope to have their own laboratory.
At this moment, Ye Hua and Xiao Liu, two adults, led eight young people to the center of the hibernation laboratory.
“…… In fact, the concept of "cryopreservation" was first proposed by a science fiction, and the real technical research can be traced back to 1967, when medical scientists believed that the terminal diseases that could not be treated at present might be treated in the future, and the patient could wait until that day by freezing the body, which was the original intention of hibernation technology rather than space travel. ”
In front, a research staff member of the hibernation project led the way, taking Ye Hua and others through an arcing corner, and several students were also curious to look around, and after a while, Ye Hua continued:
"The idea may have been inspired by the innate ability of some animals to go into hibernation, and when they go into hibernation, these animals will have a series of physiological changes in their bodies, such as slower heartbeats, weaker breathing, dulled sensory organs, and greatly reduced energy consumption of the body, so as to help them survive even if they do not eat or drink all winter."
At this time, everyone came to a transparent tempered glass door, the researcher who led the way took out his work card and swiped it, and the door opened by itself, Ye Hua took Lorantis and others into the laboratory, Lin Zifan and Feng Chao were the most excited.
The hibernation project center is very large, and there are several sterile and dust-free isolation labs inside the laboratory, where you need to wear an isolation gown to enter.
Ye Hua saw Oaron Drake walking towards him, and immediately turned to look at Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, take them around to watch and watch." ”
"Okay headmaster."
After a while, Oaron Drake came over, shook hands and said hello, Ye Hua asked casually, "Professor, when will you start freezing the test subjects?" ”
"Preparing, but it's almost soon." "We have found that hibernating organisms activate a set of self-protection mechanisms to avoid brain and muscle damage during hibernation, and how to master this mechanism is undoubtedly crucial in the development of hibernation technology," said Oren.
"Tardigrades are able to endure extremely harsh sessions for long periods of time, and we have found that they can put themselves in a 'cryptobiotic state', i.e., slow down or stop their metabolism for long periods of time. We are continuing to conduct further detailed research on this 'cryptogenic state' to improve our understanding of its long-term survival mechanism and its conditions, and we have found that your theory suggests that this 'cryptogenic state' has a strong correlation with the virtual transmission field, and perhaps the feasibility of allowing humans to use this function can be found in this direction. ”
A researcher walked up to the two of them: "Professor, the preparations are complete. ”
"Let's get started."
Oren Drake glanced back at Ye Hua, and after a few words, he and the researcher left.
Ye Hua looked around, several students scattered around the experimental center to visit, casually walked next to Lorentis, she saw Ye Hua walking and asked casually, "Teacher, what is this?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Hua came to the microscope and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "This is called a water bear, it can sleep for thirty years, this name is the common name of the tardigrade animal phylum, they are very small, they may be the most vital creatures known in the world, they can survive under various extreme conditions, and even survive in a vacuum or under radioactive rays." ”
"Scientists have long found some tardigrades in the bryophytes of Antarctica, refrigerated them at low temperatures, and decades later, in 2014, scientists decided to thaw them, conduct further research, put those tardigrades in a warm link, and on the first day of thawing, they showed signs of life, and after two weeks, they recovered, and they were able to produce normal offspring without defects."
"Tardigrades are not referring to a single species, they are actually a large group: the phylum tardigrades. You heard it right, there's a whole door, and there are thousands of species that we humans know about alone, and there may be many more that have yet to be discovered. ”
"They have a huge family, and they have a very wide distribution, from the Antarctic to the Arctic, from the mountains to the sea, from fresh water to moist soil, moss, they basically occupy the whole world. Dunaline Taller, one of the most common species of tardigrades. ”
Lorantis looked at Ye Hua with a look of admiration: "Teacher, you are so powerful, you know everything." ”
Ye Hua smiled and said nothing, Lorantis looked at it again and couldn't help but muttered curiously: "It's so familiar, it seems that I saw them somewhere a long time ago......"
"Most of you must have watched a Marvel movie "Ant-Man: The Wasp", in the plot of the movie, Dr. Pym encountered a strange little bug, in fact, it is this kind of water bear, to be exact, it is called Hypsibius-Dujardini, which may be the most bizarre dragon trick in Marvel history."
"They look so cute and cute." Lorantis said.
Ye Hua was slightly stunned, thinking of the little bugs he had just seen: "Classmate Luolan, why do you think that this kind of maggot that looks like a miniature version of a big-tailed maggot is not much different...... Where the hell is this thing cute? Where's the cuteness? ”
"It's really cute, it's cute......" Lorantis rarely saw the majestic Teacher Ye complaining, and said with a smile: "Look closely at their little claws, aren't they cute?" I love that furry touch. ”
"Alright, Little Paw's Cute Baby." Ye Hua said perfunctorily, if you want to say that you are much more cute than them.
It's very puzzling, she can't pick up those little paws with a little tentacles, why does she feel so cute?
Ye Hua was stunned...... Wait a minute!
Little claw claw? Palp? Cute? Super fond of that furry touch?
Lorantis She ...... Vodi Mayer~~
