Chapter 90: Ability
After refusing to challenge the dark side of human beings, Qi Fei's mood finally calmed down a lot, and his anxiety about Li Hu and Li Xingqing was also buried deep in his heart.
The motor of the fishing boat began to roar, and the longitude and latitude calculated by Qi Fei quickly drove not far away.
The distance of less than ten nautical miles was less than an hour, and everyone looked at the vast and empty sea, and everyone showed a little disappointment in their eyes.
"It seems..."Qi Fei lowered his head, trying to keep himself looking like a survivor, and the liquid in his body began to secrete, turning into tears and dotting his face.
"Cast the last fishing net." The boat boss sighed, it didn't seem like the first time he had experienced such a thing, looking at the vast sea, the power of human beings was only a passing moment after all.
The roaring motor was scattered into the sea with everyone's last hope, and with a command, the fishing boat began to drag the net in the direction of the mainland. At the same time, Qi Fei's originally restless heart finally began to calm down, and at this moment, he felt like a human being.
After calculating the driving angle with the biological computer in his body a little, and determining that the fishing net could be easily pulled to some antiques under the seabed, Qi Fei closed his eyes and entered a semi-dormant state again.
At this moment, his body contains a very large amount of nutrients, and his body is also rapidly transforming.
This time, Qi Fei absolutely completely devoured the genes of the tardigrades, and a large number of fragments in them quickly acted in the body.
The body formed by combining the genes of humans, ants, and tardigrades on the bottom of the sea has a special function that is even more terrifying than the original.
There are countless topics to talk about just how terrifying the life force of the tardigrades is.
From the majestic mountains to the endless deep sea, from bubbling hot springs to Antarctic ice, tardigrades can be found everywhere – and even in the cities where humans live. They cope with the harsh environment by entering a state of near-invincibility: they no longer crawl in a humble manner, their eight legs curl up, their round bodies become shriveled and wrinkled, and they expel almost all of their water into a dry shell known as a "crypto-huddle". Their metabolism almost stopped, as if they were dead. And they, hovering on the verge of death, just become super difficult to kill.
Scientists on Earth have done many experiments, such as trying to make water bears go into a cryogenic cryptogenic state.
Cryogenic cryptophytic tardigrades can be frozen and thawed to revive without causing damage to the body. In 1975, scientists put the active tardigrades in 2 ml -20 °C super-cold water. All experimental animals are immediately put into a keg state. It only takes one minute to thaw in water at 4 °C. 80% of the animals were successfully revived. Others have soaked tardigrades in liquid air at -200°C for 20 months, liquid nitrogen at -253°C for 26 hours, and liquid helium at -272°C for 8 hours.
As a result, the tardigrades "came back to life" as if nothing had happened.
Some polar fish species secrete antifreeze proteins that do not freeze in their bodies. But the tardigrade seems to allow ice to form in the body, or it is able to repair itself.
In times of hypoxia, the tardigrades enter another state, where hypoxic cryptophysis occurs when the oxygen content of the fluid around the tardigrades falls below a threshold. At first, the tardigrades shrink, but then they stretch to their maximum state, which is also a state of suffocation, and they are no longer able to expel water from their bodies. Some species can survive up to five days in a hypoxic state. Metabolic status is unknown when hypoxia is hidden.
When he was in the sea, Qi Fei took advantage of another state of incapacitation, which was caused by the increase in osmotic pressure in the environment. In a 15% saline solution, it will enter the keg state within 9 seconds. It can be quickly soaked in fresh water and will suffocate. But if you put it back in the water within three days, it will wake up.
In their cryptophytic state, tardigrades do not need food or water. They can easily survive in environments close to absolute zero or as high as 151 degrees Celsius. They can also tolerate the intense pressure of the deep sea, with doses high enough to kill other animals, even in a poison bath.
Moreover, they are the only animals to date that have been exposed to the vacuum of outer space and still have a life to tell this saga – or at least they have a life to lay viable eggs.
The only way to kill them is mechanical crushing. But this is precisely the kind of damage that Qifei cells are best at resisting.
The genes of water bears are extremely complex, and the reason why Qi Fei was able to successfully fuse this time is because of another characteristic of water bears, that is, gene repair ability.
When the tardigrades are dehydrated, they cause genetic damage, and the bacteria around them will also break down due to dehydration, and the DNA will be broken into fragments, and when the tardigrades wake up, these molecules will enter the cells when they absorb water. And when tardigrades connect their genomes together. At the same time, it repairs its own genes and connects these fragments.
It is this wonderful repair power that keeps Qi Fei's genes stable and does not cause the reconstructed cell structure to collapse.
In other words, after Qi Fei fused the genes of the tardigrades, his body developed a great resistance to unfavorable conditions, and if he went to the high-radiation, high-temperature area now, he would no longer have to be as embarrassed as last time.
stretched his limbs, but Qi Fei's face did not stretch, and a nameless flame inside his body was burning to an even more manic level.
Although he is not the most powerful individual in the world, he is also the most powerful human in the world. And the other party dared to do it to himself.
In this way, it seems that the range is much smaller. In other words, the other party is a group that is not afraid of its own assassination. Or, the other party may know that the martial artist is not the most powerful force in the world.
In this way, it is equivalent to narrowing the scope all at once, and at the same time, it also makes Qi Fei a little more angry.
The other party obviously knew that he couldn't kill Qi Fei 100%, so when he was besieging, he had already removed all the recognizable markings.
Although the scope is narrowed, it still cannot be accurately locked.
Well, there is still a way, and that is to use the Fountain of Immortality in his hand to trigger this guy to take the bait. At the same time, Qi Fei also vaguely guessed that the other party was still looking for him, and would throw some bait on himself to lure him into the bait.
This is a tacit game, and it is also a stage where Qi Fei can truly deter the world.
