Chapter 368: Heavy Water
The body of the earth, swimming in the sea.
The huge body of more than 40 meters long, wide and strong, even if the front and rear limbs and claws are constricted and close, the main and auxiliary wings are stretched to the side, and only the tail and wing wings swim, the height of his body, or "thickness", is also close to ten meters.
As his behemoth swam through the sea, the area he swam through was stained with blood.
With a single thought, he would generate a huge amount of bioelectricity around his body, and along the blood flow that served as conductors, he would be able to give his enemies an electrotherapy.
Flapping the wide main wings and ailerons, the body of the ground walks, diving towards the bottom of the sea.
The cold feeling of the sea water was transmitted to his body.
"Thermostat" is an extremely resource-intensive setting for small creatures.
However, for huge creatures, "constant temperature" is not an unusual thing.
Because of the heat dissipation structure, the larger the size of the organism, even if the species itself is ectothermic, when its size reaches a certain level, because of the difference in surface area and volume, the heat dissipation cannot keep up completely, it will become a "homeothermic animal".
In the ocean, you don't need to think about this kind of problem, but you need to think about how to keep warm.
After all, as a liquid, water also has a relatively high thermal conductivity.
The "residual temperature" emitted by cellular respiration is the source of the body temperature of various organisms.
The efficiency of glucose, ATP energy conversion, is about 40%, and the rest, are emitted in the form of heat.
As a result of the "life energy" system, not only the efficiency of energy conversion and storage has become higher, but also the problem of lower body temperature due to high efficiency and less heat loss.
Merely.......
For otherworldly life, a low body temperature is not a fatal problem.
Why is low body temperature fatal to earth creatures in previous lives?
There are many reasons for this.
At the cellular level, a large number of cells are regulated by various ions as "nerve signals".
And various ions, because of the different temperatures, "precipitation crystals" is not uncommon.
Another point is that some chemical reactions, at different temperatures, the reaction rate is different, even more than or below a certain temperature, the reaction is not carried out or becomes other reactions.
The simplest and most common, most closely related to temperature, is combustion.
This, in turn, involves the fundamental problem of the rate of activity of microscopic particles.
The higher the temperature, the more intense the irregular motion of various molecular atoms and particles.
This is the reason why many problems in previous lives can be solved through "temperature".
However, this world is different.
This is because the body is no longer an "ionic homeostasis" environment with "solutions and electrolytes" as the core.
The existence of the power of "life force" has made these otherworldly creatures in this world embark on a very different path.
Low temperatures, high temperatures, are not extremely lethal to the creatures of this world.
Because, the creatures in this world, the microscopic system in the body, are structured with "life energy" and various "elements" as the core.
If you want to make an analogy, it's like ....... Magnet.
The stronger the magnetic force of a substance with the same volume and mass, the more "strong" its structure is.
This is because the magnetic field itself is also "strengthening" the structural material itself.
The vitality is like this, the vitality exists, and the living beings have life energy in their bodies, then the more stable this structure will be.
And the weaker the vitality, the "more fragile" it will be.
It can be said that the creatures of the previous life, all and all the lives, are based around the general framework of "thermal motion", and they are related to "thermal motion".
Temperature affects homeostasis, temperature affects life, temperature affects structure, and temperature affects process.
In a sense, "temperature" is the core of everything.
To some extent, it can be said that if a creature has the ability to freely control its own body temperature, and with knowledge, then it has the basis to transform itself.
However, because of the difference in this different world, these beings have become very different.
In this ocean, the concentration of various ions is frighteningly high.
It can be said that it is not impossible for the concentration of certain ions in the human body to exceed the standard, and the person will die immediately.
However, here, in this world, even if you desperately pour this lethal amount of seawater into your mouth, you can't do it.
The homeostatic core in the body is "life energy", not "ion concentration".
Di Xing's gaze fell on the tips of his claws.
A layer of impurities with a hint of luster clung to the tips of his claws.
That's the metal that precipitates because of electrical discharge.
Electrically conductive, one of the characteristics of electric current is that it flows in the direction of the fastest channel.
The principle of the Faraday cage is here.
Because the electric current runs along the metal with the highest conductivity efficiency, it does not pass through the body, so it does not hurt.
Muscle cells only need to be fine-tuned to evolve into power-generating cells.
By accumulating superimposed fascicle muscle cells, the ability to release electrical current can be obtained.
It's just that, in general, creatures such as electric rays and electric eels do not appear in terrestrial environments.
When an electric discharge is made in air, the resistance of air is greater than that of water.
When discharged in water, electricity can travel along the current, but if it is in the air, then it is itself that is being electrified.
This is also the reason why it is difficult to smoothly evolve electrically discharged organisms on land.
But......
As long as the internal environment is not centered on ionic homeostasis, the impact will be greatly reduced.
It will also be possible to release bioelectricity directly into the air.
However, it is necessary to change the body material, at least to change the power generation organs, so that the conductivity related to the discharge organs is not so high.
But for the local bank, the most important thing for the bioelectric energy system is that it has given him the means to produce heavy hydrogen.
Heavy water is basically unusable by ordinary living organisms.
Too high a concentration can be fatal.
Normal "otherworldly creatures" don't need to worry about this problem at all.
But......
It is necessary to pay attention to the re-evolution of ionic homeostasis structural organs for biological discharge, such as the current one.
In fission nuclear reactions, heavy water is used as a buffer.
In fusion nuclear reactions, heavy hydrogen is the raw material.
Heavy water is less susceptible to electrolysis than ordinary water.
In order to prepare heavy water, of course, not in the places where this and other waters circulate, but to separate them separately.
The process of electrolysis to produce heavy water is actually "concentrating".
When it reaches a certain concentration, the heavy water you need is prepared.
Then, there's .......
Try the water molecules throughout the body, all replaced with heavy water.
ps: No problem, I went to buy antipyretic medicine and cold medicine a few days ago (although it is probably because of this that I became a little yang person)
Burned to 41.2 was also last night's thing.,Got up and coded today.,Misty Lake and Lake yard to noon and sleep.,Sleep until four o'clock in the afternoon.,Now it's more than 38 degrees.,Relatively speaking,Probably still a low-grade fever? It's just a little bit of a maze.,Pick up the previous yard and spell it for half a chapter.,It's still a problem to put together a verbose chapter.。
Body temperature is really important for living things.
Now I don't know if it's the fourth or the third day.
By the way, in addition to the fact that you can't take cold medicine and fever medicine at the same time, and it may cause an accident to your body in an overdose, it is best to prepare yourself with a little throat lozenge or something.
My throat hurt like a knife, and I couldn't even drink water.
