Chapter 175: Kun is small, but there is essence
Seeing the novel Jupiter biosphere, Dong Qingchen was really excited for a few days, and even the people in the company could feel his excitement.
It's just that after a few days of novelty, it entered the research stage, and the situation was not so optimistic.
Jupiter giant jellyfish and Jupiter giant rays are well studied and have huge biological air sacs in their bodies, which are full of hydrogen gas, and when they warm the hydrogen in the air sacs, they can fly.
As for how to heat up, they also have a way, that is, "crossing the catastrophe".
At first, Dong Qingchen didn't think about it, until he saw them drifting towards the thunderstorm area, and then stretched out his long tentacles to touch the thunder and lightning.
Only then did he realize that these giant jellyfish could absorb lightning and turn it into energy to heat the helium in his body.
"This ability to survive and evolve is really powerful, this kind of biological organ can evolve!" Dong Qingchen looked surprised.
"No, sir, they are also dangerous when exposed to lightning."
Regarding Dong Qingchen's sigh, Chu Xue still sought truth from facts, took a screenshot of the picture and enlarged it, showed it to Dong Qingchen and said: "Sir, you see, some tentacles have been split and obviously turned black. ”
Looking at the enlarged picture shown by Chu Xue, Dong Qingchen suddenly understood one thing, "I know, the scum that fell from those pterosaur-like scrambles before should be these, after the tentacles newly grow, these necrotic tissues will fall off." ”
"Yes, sir, it's very likely." Hatsuyuki also replied.
Dong Qingchen nodded, continued to observe the video materials sent back, and watched those tentacles take the initiative to be struck by lightning, he always felt weird.
The lightning slashed into the tentacles, and he tensed.
Finally, he stroked his long hair and wondered, "What the hell is going on?" ”
………………
The "Kunpeng" followed this group of creatures for a long time, in addition to the fact that the other creatures were very large, and the spacecraft seemed very small, it also obtained a lot of information for Dong Qingchen, such as the flight ability of the "Great Kun".
I have done research and calculations before, and the size of the big kun is not small compared to the home planet, after all, it has caught up with the size of a supercarrier, but this size is really nothing on Jupiter.
And because of the limitation of its size, no matter how heated the air sac in its body is, it is not enough to make it float in Jupiter's atmosphere, but it not only floats, but its body is also extremely flexible, and it has become the most flexible little ghost in Jupiter's native area.
At first, there was really nothing to gain, until the spacecraft continued to dive deep with the original big kun, overcoming many difficulties and reaching the deeper layers of Jupiter's atmosphere.
The atmosphere here is more viscous, the pressure is greater, and the temperature has risen to more than 200 degrees, and it is here that a major discovery has finally been made.
A large kun with a body size of 600 meters, but unfortunately it was already a corpse, but on this corpse, he discovered the secret of the big kun.
Although it is a corpse, and the time of death has reached more than a year, its temperature is not low, and it is not cool, after all, the more you go inside, the hotter it gets.
The corpse was thinner than a living large kun, but it was not decomposed, but it was bitten and mutilated.
And there was also a juvenile kun hidden in the corpse, which was only ten meters long......
Well, it is indeed a juvenile, equivalent to half a year of human beings.
The larvae were very excited to see the arrival of the giant kun, and they screamed happily on the corpse, and they could move like seals with the help of their pectoral and tail fins, but they could not fly at all.
This made Dong Qingchen very curious, the spacecraft felt that the temperature was not abnormal when scanning the live Da Kun, but when he scanned the corpse, he found problems, especially those mutilated parts that were not bitten, and the temperature revealed made him feel surprised.
"It's kind of unbelievable that it's 2,000 degrees."
Dong Qingchen was very surprised at that time.
But then I learned that the surprise was early, and there were even more surprises to come.
After careful research, it was found that the body of the giant kun indeed contains an anti-gravity substance, and the giant kun can also flexibly use this substance, which is why they can fly freely in the area of gravity twice the home star.
"Well, it's not incredible, it's not unscientific, it's just that human knowledge is really too little."
Of course, it should be shocked!
Originally, his mind was open and he thought that it might be the cause of biological anti-gravity, but when it was confirmed, he still couldn't believe it.
As he continued to investigate further, the entire Jupiter flew back and forth, crossing the wind wall between different regions, crossing the more violent North Pole, venturing to explore the Great Red Spot, bravely entering the thunderstorm zone, etc., and he completely solved the mystery of the Great Kun's flight.
They can eat the flesh on the corpse as they grow up until they bite through the corpse and eat it to the "anti-gravity organ", they need to obtain anti-gravity substances from the anti-gravity organ, and only when they get these substances can the young body fly.
They need to absorb the anti-gravity matter into their "anti-gravity organ" with the tentacles on their chins, and then heat the anti-gravity material to more than 2,000 degrees in the "anti-gravity organ", and then they can get rid of the constraints of gravity.
It is precisely because their heating organs are extremely powerful, can heat up to that temperature, and can also protect against that temperature for a long time, that they can become Jupiter's overlords.
Dong Qingchen originally thought that they would not attack giant creatures, and that giant creatures could use special tentacle discharges to defend and attack if they were in a hurry, but after seeing a few attacks with his own eyes, he recognized it.
It was later discovered that the giant kun could also use electricity to heat its own organs, but the electricity treated by the giant creature was much safer than direct contact with the rampaging thunderbolts.
This clever mind, coupled with such advanced biotechnology, directly made the great kun the apex predator of Jupiter.
However, the top predators are not so easy to be, they have many hurdles in life, and the first hurdle is whether they can complete the first takeoff.
If the juvenile kun does not quickly obtain anti-gravity material from the corpse, they will eventually fall into the depths of Jupiter with the corpse, be crushed into powder by high temperature and pressure, and then rise back into the air with the change of air current, becoming plankton food, and contributing to the biological food chain on the other hand.
After all, the dead giant kun has no external energy supply, and it will naturally cool down after a while, and without a high enough temperature, the effect of anti-gravity matter will not work.
The second is that the anti-gravity material should also be replenished after flying, and the anti-gravity material will also react in the process of high-temperature heating, and the anti-gravity material will gradually become less.
There are two ways to obtain anti-gravity matter, either by plundering it directly from one's companion, or by filtering the air with tentacles that contain very low levels of anti-gravity matter.
The source of anti-gravity material in the air is the Great Red Spot, a violent updraft that continuously ejects anti-gravity material deep in the depths of Jupiter.
Knowing this, Dong Qingchen almost jumped up from his seat.
"I'm finally building an anti-gravity ship!"
