Chapter 430: Knowledge is Power
The life of the international research station is boring and boring, and it is also quite an interesting life when you are really immersed in it.
Because of the melting of Antarctica, netizens have expressed their opinions and have always supported what they think is the right answer.
Scientists on the International Space Station, they are also starting to worry, as the rate of melting of Antarctica accelerates.
Holes have appeared in some places in the thick ice on the surface of Antarctica, and these holes are still random and have no pattern at all.
Even if you pass by here 10 minutes ago, there is no anomaly, and after a short period of time, it can collapse.
The ice already has tiny cracks, and if the ice melts nearby and water above zero degrees Celsius washes over it, its structure will quickly collapse.
Scientists go out to collect samples, and they are all armed and could fall into the ice hole at any moment.
Their life safety can still be guaranteed, but whoever encounters this kind of thing will suffer some hardships.
When Robert returned from duty again, he fell into the ice hole again.
"I'm unlucky, and every time I use a different unlucky experience, I remind everyone to pay attention to safety." Robert smiled wryly.
Wang Yunjie said with a smile: "The international scientific research station is jointly established by many countries, and some things need to be resolved for a long time.
In a few days, the flying car allocated to us will arrive at the international research station. ”
"That's good, you don't have to suffer anymore." Robert said happily.
He took out a hard nut from his backpack and introduced, "This is something I collected under the ice cave, this seed I have seen in paleontological fossils before, it should be the seed of an ancient plant."
What an interesting thing it would be if we could grow this seed. ”
Vermeer interjected: "It just so happens that we are idle and bored now, and the equipment in the laboratory is very advanced, let's study the seeds of this plant."
Scientists at the International Expedition Station in Antarctica began to study the seeds of ancient creatures brought back by Robert scientists.
They dated this seed by elemental decay and proved that it was the seed of a plant 60 million years ago.
He is an angiosperm, 60 million years ago was the era when the age of dinosaurs had just ended, the era of ferns was accelerating, and it was also the era when angiosperms became the mainstream of plants on earth.
Wang Yunjie was not surprised that this plant was 60 million years old, but he was surprised that this plant still maintained this weak biological activity until now.
It's exciting to be able to recreate a plant that's 60 million years old.
Scientists at the International Expedition Station in Antarctica only used the equipment of the laboratory to find a way to grow the plant.
Time passed slowly, they failed many times, and basically all of them lost confidence.
Wang Yunjie sequenced the genes of this plant and prepared to hand it over to domestic scientists to revive the plant through artificial cells.
"I succeeded, I succeeded in cultivating this plant, and it needs to absorb high-energy rays to grow." Robert said in surprise.
Finding a way to breed this plant, the scientists re-cultivated it, and soon the plant was cultivated.
It is an herbaceous plant, which is very similar to the dog's tail grass, that is, a small stem with a long spike growing on it.
Some scientists believe that it grows flower bones, and some scientists believe that it grows fruits.
In addition to announcing it, they cultivated this plant for entertainment, and no one cared about the specific effect of this plant.
Even the news that they cultivated plants 60 million years ago, which should have caused a sensation in the world, was only circulating in a small circle.
"It's blooming, my plants are blooming. The colorful flowers are so beautiful. ”
"Ahh Toxic, run. ”
On May 2, 2032, Xinghuo Technology Safety Level 6 Vacuum Biochemical Laboratory.
Zhou Yu wore a strict chemical protective suit and walked into the heavily guarded laboratory.
He saw something that made scientists fearful.
It is a delicate and delicate herb with more than 30 colorful and tiny flowers blooming at the top.
"This is the god-killing flower, a dangerous plant that caused three deaths, 12 permanent disabilities, and 16 serious injuries at the Antarctic International Research Station." Zhou Yu looked at this weak plant, and he said in surprise.
If it hadn't been for the quick response of a few scientists in Antarctica, a major accident occurred in Antarctica two months ago, and the intelligent robot immediately eliminated the god-killing flower and began to rescue others. All of these scientists are going to die.
Wang Xiaoxiao looked at this god-killing flower, and he also showed a frightened look on his face, he knew too well the power of this god-killing flower.
"Mr. Zhou, the god-killing flower needs to absorb high-energy radioactive materials to grow, and these radioactive substances undergo a series of transformations in the plant.
It produces a special radioactive substance that can affect the human brain, causing brain death or partial necrosis of the brain.
It's terrifying, it's a weapon of mass destruction, and if you put it in a densely populated metropolis, you don't care.
Its radioactive material can cover up to 3 kilometers, and less than 1% of mammals within its range survive.
Luckily, it's usually harmless, and it's only during flowering time that this lethal radioactive substance is produced. ”
Zhou Yu looked at this slender plant, he didn't expect this plant to be compared to weapons of mass destruction.
Fortunately, he became extinct 60 million years ago, otherwise how could there be mammals on Earth.
Wang Xiaoxiao continued: "Mr. Zhou, this plant is a bit lethal, but it is not useless.
After the research of our scientists, only a small dose of this special ray is needed, and it can promote the rapid differentiation of axons and dendrites of neuronal cells in the brain.
We experimented on animals to find harmless special radiometering, experimented with plant cloning, and finally verified through human experiments.
As long as the appropriate dose of special rays is available, it can make the neuronal cells of the human brain highly active.
Human beings are in this state, and they can easily enter the state of forgetting, and even if they exit this state, what they have written down will not be forgotten.
Neuronal cells are highly active, and people's ability to understand things is improved by a hundredfold, which can speed up people's learning.
This technique allows a person who has never been exposed to high math to reach the point of a college high math teacher in a month.
When neuronal cells in the brain are highly active, people are more focused on the activities they are doing, which is more conducive to learning. ”
"Where is this god-killing flower, this is a veritable god-killing flower, I didn't expect it to improve people's learning speed." Zhou Yu said with emotion.
The appearance of the Divine Flower will definitely improve the progress of civilization.
Now an ordinary person's lifespan can reach four or five hundred years old, and with the assistance of Xueshenhua, he can complete all courses from elementary school to university in one year.
How many engineers will be produced, and how many scientists will be produced.
In the future, it is foreseeable that everyone will be a knowledgeable expert.
At that time, all ordinary laborers disappeared, and people basically became engineers and scientists, engaged in mental work.
Knowledge is power, and with tens of billions of engineers and scientists, all the technologies on the science and technology tree in Zhou Yu's mind can be reproduced in the real world.
