Chapter 600: Transplantation of cyanobacteria

The pretty lieutenant was also pleasantly surprised, and exclaimed, "Yes, I feel it too." There is a lot of aetheric qi here, and if you cultivate in such a place, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but ......"

"But what?" Captain Junsu asked.

The pretty lieutenant said with shyness: "But if you want to say that the cultivation is fast, it is his help that comes quickly!" ”

Captain Junxiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the other party meant, his jade cheeks suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but spat at the other party, and scolded coquettishly: "You nymphomaniac, you want your sweetheart crazy!" ”

The pretty lieutenant snorted and said, "Is Urìna telling the truth!" ”

These two people are Brenda and Urìna, and the two of them came to Wang Hengxing this time precisely for the cyanobacteria that are rumored to be able to give birth to the aetheric qi here.

The two laughed and got off the boat, and someone below greeted them, and when they saw the two of them, they called them "Ataiji" and "Urìna Sacrifice Lord" more than once.

This small base was built by the Mayans, but like the Gendana base, it was not large, and it was obviously not very interesting for the Mayans to run this base, but only to have a foothold here.

This time, the two of them came with several experts in the field of high-level biological genes, and the main purpose was to figure out why the cyanobacteria here could not be transplanted to live on Titan or other places.

The first few times the Mayans sent personnel to collect samples of cyanobacteria all over the planet and bring them to Titan for cultivation, but the results all failed without exception. This cyanobacteria can be cultivated in the laboratory with a nutrient solution. But once transplanted into the outside soil, it cannot survive.

And the reason for this, Mayan biologists have not yet figured out.

After getting off the ship, Brenda and the others did not take a short rest, and were led by the person in charge of the base, and went to the base's biochemistry laboratory to visit.

The head of the lab, Dr. Kangel, heard the news and greeted him.

in various experimental analysis rooms. The staff is busy with various experiments on cyanobacteria.

Without further ado, Brenda hurried around and went outside to a living room to rest, with Dr. Cangel carefully by his side.

"Doctor, has there been any progress in the recent research on this cyanobacteria?"

After sitting down. Brenda didn't say much nonsense, and got straight to the point.

"Ataiji!"

Before speaking, Dr. Kangall bowed to the other man, who was also a Mayan and a sorcerer.

With a hint of shame on his face, he replied: "Recently, the laboratory has done a lot of experiments on this cyanobacteria. A larger amount of experimental data has also been obtained, and more data about this cyanobacteria have been obtained, but we have not yet found out why this cyanobacteria cannot be transplanted and survived! ”

Brenda listened. Dai's eyebrows frowned, and her face was a little ugly.

Dr. Kangel hesitated. He continued: "Recent work has not been completely without progress, and we have also put forward several speculations about the reason why this cyanobacteria cannot survive transplantation, but we have not yet been able to confirm. ”

Brenda listened, took a little interest, and said, "Oh, what a guess, you tell me." ”

Dr. Kangel said, "We were inspired by a previous research article on this cyanobacteria. As mentioned in this research article, this kind of cyanobacteria on Wang Hengxing can be regarded as a group of organisms, a single Wang Heng bacteria may seem very simple, but there are inextricable relationships between individuals, aggregated into a whole, a single cyanobacteria and other cyanobacteria, there are frequent material exchange behaviors, in particular, between them, there is a constant flow of weak biological energy, as if a link, linking them together......"

"After reading this article, we thought, could it be because the cyanobacteria sample we brought back was separated from its mother body, without the nourishment of its mother's material energy, and thus lost the ability to survive and develop itself......

Hearing this, Brenda was slightly moved, thought carefully for a while, and asked, "Doctor, do you mean that this cyanobacterial creature all over the planet is a whole, and we can only retrieve a part of the sample, and we can't maintain its overall characteristics, so we can't let it transplant it to other planets?" ”

Dr. Kangall nodded, "That's what it means." If we want to transplant this cyanobacteria to other planets, we may need to retrieve a larger and large enough sample to preserve a part of it as a whole and thus transplant it to other planets. ”

"We can't yet draw conclusions about how large a sample size is needed to keep it at least alive, and we need to do experiments to know what to do. However, according to my estimate, the large-scale samples required for this are difficult to do in reality, for example, it may take a sample as large as one square kilometer to maintain its overall viability and be successfully transplanted in other places! ”

When Brenda heard this, her face was sad again, just think about it, if you need a sample as large as one square kilometer, this is indeed impossible to do with realistic means.

She pondered for a while, and then asked, "Is there no other way to think of anything else?" ”

Dr. Kangel shook his head and said, "We can't think of anything else. ”

As he spoke, he looked ashamed and said, "There may be other ways, but we haven't found them yet." ”

Brenda pondered there for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Doctor, you just said that you were inspired by a research paper on this cyanobacteria?" So I don't know who the author of this research paper is, since he can write such an article, it means that there is a certain amount of research on this Wang Hengxing cyanobacteria, and we may be able to find him and consult his opinion. ”

Dr. Kangall nodded, "That's an idea, maybe she can offer us something of value." The author of the research paper is named Catherine and is now a mid-level researcher at the Academician Imidia Studio of the Federal Academy of Sciences. I also checked her resume, she used to be a volunteer of Wang Hengxing's expedition, perhaps it was because of that expedition that she came into contact with this strange Wang Hengxing cyanobacteria and began to study it. ”

An intermediate researcher in the studio of Academician Imidia? A former Wang Hengxing's expedition volunteer?

Hearing this, Brenda's face showed a little strangeness, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Urìna on the side.

Urìna was also looking at her at the moment, and the two glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but think of someone in their hearts.

Isn't Jiang Ping also a former Wang Hengxing's expedition volunteer, and has a close relationship with Academician Imidia's studio, could it be that he also knows the author of this paper named Catherine, a little bit related?

Brenda retracted her thoughts, glanced at Dr. Kangal, and instructed, "Then Doctor, you should contact this Catherine researcher as soon as possible, and ask her about this Cyanobacteria of the King's Star." ”

Dr. Kangel agreed.

Dr. Bride was very happy to introduce her to several experts in the field of biological genetics research, all of whom were experts and professors who had made great achievements in the field of biological genes, and their participation would naturally be of great help to the research of cyanobacteria.

After the matter was settled, Brenda didn't bother here too much, got up to say goodbye, Dr. Kangall and the others got up to see them off, Brenda waved his hand to stop, and told them to go about their own business.

Out of the laboratory, led by the person in charge of the base, he went to the headquarters of the base.

The head of the base is named Battle, and he is also a Mayan sorcerer.

On the way, Brenda had time to inquire about the recent affairs of the base, and Battle's report was simple and clear, the Maya did not want to expand here with great fanfare, and there was nothing to do with the base recently.

However, thinking of an incident that happened yesterday when a base personnel was injured, Battle thought about it for a while and decided to report it truthfully to the other party.

"Ataiji, yesterday an explorer from the base went to explore the jungle in the south, but was bitten by a strange mutated fly." Battle said.

Brenda listened and said indifferently, "Oh, is it, strange mutant flies? After all, this is an unexplored planet, and it is not surprising that there are some strange things, so it is enough to ask the personnel of the base to pay more attention when they go out in the future. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't care too much about this, Battle hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "According to the injured man's description, the strange fly foot he saw was the size of an egg......

A fly the size of an egg?

Brenda felt goosebumps on his body when he heard this, and muttered: "Is this true, didn't I listen to the Federal Star Survey Department swear that there are no large animals in this Wang Hengxing, if there is really such a big fly, it shouldn't have been discovered before." ”

"The strange place is here, and I don't know where such a big weird fly came from, maybe the man didn't tell the truth, and he exaggerated a little." ”

Brenda asked again, "How is that man now, how are his injuries?" ”

Battle said: "That person is not in danger of life now, but he was bitten by that strange fly a few times, presumably because the saliva in the mouthparts of the strange fly is poisonous, and now this person is still weak and bedridden." ”

So far, the whole body is weak and bedridden?

Brenda listened, her face became a little solemn, what kind of fly is this, a few bites, it will have such serious consequences?

"Is there no cure for the toxin of this strange fly?" Frowning, she asked again.

Battle nodded heavily and said, "Yes, the doctor at the medical station said that the toxin of this strange fly is a brand new toxin, and there is no particularly effective detoxification gene liquid yet. ”
