183 To die is to live
Lupin received a call from Dr. Ge saying that the analysis had come to fruition.
Last time, Lupin collected some biological samples and environmental samples such as coral rocks from the Life Canyon and brought them back for him to analyze, because Lupin wanted to know how such a magical place as the Life Canyon was formed?
It's important to him!
Because if there is still a place for naturally occurring life to thrive at the bottom of the sea, which is full of hell toxins, then maybe there is more than one such place on earth?
You must know that every such place is a great treasure for Lupin! He worked hard to save money and buy expensive genetic potions, where could it be easier than finding a real place where creatures gather and eating directly?
After several days of careful analysis and testing, and consulting some documents in the Crystal Palace Library, Dr. Ge finally sorted out an idea.
"It's all about the little things." Dr. Ge held up a test tube and leaned in front of Lupin, "Look. ”
Lupin looked fixedly.
There are plankton the size of a grain of rice in the tube, with tiny tentacles.
"What is this?" He asked.
"This is the polyp body of a polyp, which I isolated from the coral specimen you gave me." Dr. Ge said, "Didn't you say before that magical first-line sky canyon that the cliffs on both sides are porous structures? It fits the reef very well, and I did find polyps in it. ”
"And then, why are they the key?" Lupin was puzzled.
"Because they're the nemesis of the Hell Toxin!" Dr. Ge was astonishing.
"How is that possible?" Lu Pin was stunned, "Hell toxin, isn't it that no means on the earth can be removed so far, only the divine water of the gods can be solved...... How is it possible for these little things to break down the Hell Toxin? ”
"No, no, not decomposition." Dr. Ge knew that Lupin would be wrong, and hurriedly said, "It's solidification!" These polyps solidified the Hell Toxin in the reef, so the water inside the canyon was reduced in terms of Hell Toxin. ”
"Tell me about it?" Lupin came interested.
If this is the case, it is undoubtedly good news, polyps are definitely not uncommon in the sea, could there be many such canyons of life?
Dr. Ge nodded, gathered his thoughts for a moment, and then spoke:
"The terrible thing about the Hell Toxin is that it will accumulate in the body of living beings, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will lead to the death of living organisms...... But the physiological characteristics of polyps almost just restrain the hell toxin.
"First of all, coral is a social life! Each coral is formed by the dead corpse of a polyp, and when the polyp is alive, it will continue to absorb the calcium in the seawater, and although the body decays after death, the calcium and other inorganic substances remain, forming a structure similar to a pile of bones...... The offspring of the polyps multiply on the bones of their ancestors and then die again, constantly expanding the size of the 'bone pile' to produce brilliant corals.
"In other words, even without the existence of hell toxins, polyps will continue to die from generation to generation, and the death of microscopic individuals is equal to the 'growth' of macroscopic individuals! In this bizarre and contradictory way of living, the Hell Toxin is not only not the poison of the polyp, but the catalyst for the growth of the coral reef. ”
In the process, the Hell toxins were also condensed in large quantities in the reefs, resulting in lower concentrations of toxins in nearby waters. Listening to your description, the terrain of that life canyon is like a ray of sky, then I guess...... The lower the body of water, the more obvious the filtration of the corals and the lower the Hell Toxin content should be!
"And considering that large-sized creatures tend to be more complex systems and have less resistance to the toxins of hell, then in that canyon of life, the area near the mouth of the canyon should be dominated by small plankton! And the deeper the water, the average size of the organisms should be larger......"
Lu Ping looked at Ge Xu in surprise, and his heart was a little admired.
He had been there himself, so he knew that it was indeed as the other party said...... The lower the body of water, the lower the toxin content and the larger the organism.
"Of course, I'm just guessing, and there are some things I haven't figured out clearly." Dr. Ge added, "For example, how to ensure the oxygen content in that canyon and how to circulate energy, there are almost no algae capable of photosynthesis at such a deep seabed...... Another example is why the growth of coral reefs has not completely closed the first line of sky...... These require more information to be analyzed. ”
"It's okay, it's already good." Lupin nodded, "I'll give you more samples to analyze when I have the chance." ”
The two talked for a while.
Suddenly, I saw that the light outside seemed to change suddenly.
But then look out through the glass window...... But nothing seems to have changed.
"Is something going on?" Lupin frowned secretly.

Meanwhile, about 200 meters above the Crystal Palace.
The virtual projection barrier of the Crystal Palace is generally shrouded in a height of 125 meters above the many buildings in the underwater city, and within this height, it is the interior of the Crystal Palace!
This distance is the optimal height that is finally determined after considering many factors including power consumption, visual deception, sound attenuation, etc.
On weekdays, the virtual projection barrier of the Crystal Palace is maintained at a height of 125 meters, but at this time, the virtual barrier extends outward by more than 70 meters above a certain building, reaching a height of 200 meters!
And it is this expansion that encircles a piece of sea water at a height of more than 70 meters, and this sea water ......
More than a dozen crab-shaped submersibles and more than fifty aquatic transcendents of different shapes are surrounding the 12 undead.
"Whoa......"
"Human! That's a lot of humans! ”
"Shhh...... Lair...... Human's lair ......"
The undead's eyes lit up, their saliva flowed, and they almost forgot about their fear.
But in the next moment, a battle broke out between the two sides, almost completely crushing, and the transcendent side captured all 12 undead alive unscathed!
The reason why it is so easy is also because among the transcendents, there is a woman in red.
She is the Red Jiao King Zhu Mei! Even if she didn't change into a giant dragon form, her strength easily surpassed that of a third-turn immortal.
And among the 12 immortals in this team, the most powerful ones are only a few second turns.
"Nissa, you're coming." Zhu Mei beckoned, and a petite girl with hair covered in countless colored jellyfish tentacles swam over from the rear - she had been hiding far away from the battle just now, and she had not participated in the battle at all.
"These are a few turns, you should be able to control them, help me see what they have in their heads." Zhu Mei gestured.
The girl nodded.
Colored tentacles floated up and enveloped the head of an undead...... The other party immediately had a blank look.
But her face still twitched a few times occasionally, as if she was cursing, and Nisha, a girl with extraordinary jellyfish genes, also blushed and gritted her teeth hard.
The color of the colored tentacles changed, and the two seemed to be competing.
After a few moments, Nissa's face changed suddenly.
"Oh no!" Her little face turned pale, and she suddenly rushed to Zhu Mei's side, holding her by one arm, "There are so many immortals, coming this way......"
"It was the command of their king! A giant with a head of a shell has sent his undead in droves to search in our direction! ”
"Many, many, many......"
