Chapter 29 Purifying Bacteria
A bacterium that can swallow spore toxins made Lin Chen think about it.
Originally, he thought that the entire earth's biosphere had been completely polluted by this spores, after all, there was no living life on the surface of the earth.
And once the original ecosystem collapses and dies, even if human beings can survive now, they will still not be able to escape the fate of extinction in the end. After all, human beings are only one part of the ecosystem, and the entire earth's ecosystem has collapsed, so can human beings still live alone?
But now seeing the existence of this strange bacterium that can devour spore toxins, Lin Chen couldn't help but praise the miracle of creation.
Life is great, and even in dangerous desperate situations, with enough time, they can evolve to adapt to their environment.
Maybe give these bacteria millions of years and a new ecosystem will emerge on Earth. A new ecosystem that grows on the basis of this bacterium.
Then the whole earth may be reborn. However, it is difficult to say whether human beings can wait until that time.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked, "Old Zhao, is it possible to use this bacterium to purify the toxins in the surface water?" β
"Yes, it is theoretically possible that, after my research, this bacterium has an extremely strong phagocytic ability, they are able to engulf sporotoxins and break down this toxin into energy and other harmless substances."
"But this bacterium has a huge disadvantage, that is, it will die quickly in the low-temperature, low-pressure, and high-oxygen environment on the surface. This particular bacterium is an anaerobic bacterium that wants to be used to purify the surface unless it waits for the oxygen on the surface to run out and they evolve to the surface to adapt to the environment. However, it is estimated that it will take millions of generations of evolution to make this possible. This is whether it will take decades to complete the evolutionary screening before the end of the world, or whether it is possible to find this effective evolution by chance. If something goes wrong, it's hard to say if this bacterium will turn into something else scary! β
Lao Zhao, who had calmed down a little, said.
When he first discovered that this bacterium could purify spore toxins, Lao Zhao was a little too excited, but now that he calmed down, he realized that there was still a long way to go before this bacterium could be put into use.
Seeing that Lao Zhao was a little discouraged, Lin Chen comforted and said, "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time." What I need to know is if this bacteria survive on the ground, as well as their approximate purification capacity! β
"Survival time, purification power! Oh! Wait, I'll do the math! β
When Lao Zhao heard Lin Chen's request, he quickly picked up his pen and wrote and drew on a simple blackboard, on which a large number of inexplicable formulas and characters soon appeared.
However, as a former alchemy master, a super-god-level technical otaku, no matter how complicated the formula is, under the influence of Lin Chen's perverted spiritual power and the Book of Truth, he can quickly parse it out.
I saw Lin Chen say while looking at Lao Zhao writing:
"Twelve hours of survival time, the purification effect decreases in order of hourly units. Fifteen million bacteria are needed for each cubic meter of purification. β
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Lao Zhao's body couldn't help but be shocked, and he looked at Lin Chen incredulously and said, "Lord Lin Chen, how do you know, have you done research on these bacteria before?" β
"Of course not, I just deduced it according to the formula you listed!" Lin Chen replied!
"By my formula, oh my! Are you a supercomputer? I haven't finished writing it yet, and you'll be able to get the calculations? β
Hearing Lin Chen's deduction, Lao Zhao said that he had received 10,000 points of damage. I'm also a biology expert who says it. But now, the formula he has researched has not been calculated, and the young man in front of him has directly said the answer. This makes the faces of these old experts go where to rest.
Lao Zhao, who did not believe in evil, hurriedly listed all the derivation formulas, and then entered all these data into the computer and began to calculate.
"Wait, wait, I'll calculate, oh my gosh, depending on the sample splitting time, plus the temperature and air pressureγγγγγγγ The survival time is really twelve hours! β
Looking at the results calculated by his professional computer for a long time, it was exactly the same as Lin Chen's, and Lao Zhao's expression was like a ghost.
In Lao Zhao's eyes at this time, Lin Chen was simply a humanoid self-propelled supercomputer.
"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible! If you come here to do biological research, Lord Lin Chen, you will definitely become a top scientific researcher, and you will win the Nobel Prize! β
Hearing Lao Zhao's praise, Lin Chen smiled slightly.
He knew his own family, and the Book of Truth did give him amazing computing and comprehension skills, but this thing was like a supercomputer, and it couldn't invent new technology like a human being.
I saw Lin Chen walk up to Lao Zhao and said slowly: "Lao Zhao, human civilization is withering, the earth is about to perish, and we are still suffering from internal friction for some trivial things, to be honest, I feel very worried when I see it." β
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Lao Zhao's face couldn't help but darken. To be honest, as a biologist, Lao Zhao knows very well what the fate of human beings will be after the collapse of the entire natural world. It's just that he's been running away from it before.
"But what can we do with just a few of us? The fate of human extinction is inevitable, even if we try hard, we can only survive, sooner or later this world will be completely occupied by these insects and beasts, and the history of our human race will come to an end completely! β
Hearing Lin Chen's question, Lao Zhao said with some pessimism.
But Lin Chen didn't think so.
"Lao Zhao, human civilization will not be cut off, and our efforts will not be useless. If you will believe me, I will lead you out of this pre-dawn darkness! β
βγγγγγγγβ
Lao Zhao was silent and did not answer. He neither refuted nor admitted. Although he thought in his heart that Lin Chen might just be flying a kite, human beings had already reached this time. A little more hope is better than despair! Even if what Lin Chen said couldn't be realized, it was better than everyone giving up.
Seeing that Lao Zhao did not respond, Lin Chen continued:
"You can study here with peace of mind, and be sure to do your best to optimize this bacteria, and I'm sure you'll take my word for it soon!"
After speaking, Lin Chen left here with Bi Yuwei.
Seeing Lin Chen leaving, Lao Zhao couldn't help but sigh. Although Lin Chen's words just now were a bit exaggerated, after all, this mysterious young man saved everyone in that crisis of the insect and beast tide.
Although I don't know how he did it at that time, Lao Zhao has a feeling that he may become a new witness to human history.
Maybe humanity will really be reborn and start over!
"Hehe, it's really old, and they would believe in such ethereal things!" Finding that he actually began to believe in such a thing as fate, Lao Zhao couldn't help laughing at himself.
However, in his heart, he really hopes that the thing of fate really exists, that human civilization will continue again, and that human beings will not take a curtain call from the stage.
After Lin Chen left, he came to the top of the building with Bi Yuwei. Where there is a secret room, it is Bi Yuwei's secret workshop, and it is also the place where Bi Yuwei's father used to use it.
Where is there a CNC 3D printer.
Although the machine capable of printing metal components has long since fallen into disrepair, it is still one of the rarest treasures in this apocalyptic world.
If Steward Huang knew that this little girl had a 3D printer that could still be used, it is estimated that someone would have been sent over to rob it.
With this thing, as long as someone knows how to use it, they can make some parts that can still be made up and repair the water intake device.
And now Lin Chen is ready to use this half-paralyzed machine to make something new that can change the world.
