Chapter 369: Stalled Cell Division

The body of the earth is constantly diving into the deep sea.

And in the process of his body diving into the deep sea, the current, directly through his body, squeezed into his body.

The water element was also squeezed into his body.

And at this time, the "hole" opened by the body of the earth was also closed.

From the perspective familiar to humans in previous lives, this can be called "drinking water", it can also be called "breathing", or it can be called "submarine equilibrium pressure".

However, soon, he stopped diving and looked up at the sea, where an electric current was growing in his body.

The fluid is filled with organs that evolve from air sacs and become close to secondary palatal structures when flesh and blood close, forming a closed space.

The gas formed by the electrolysis of water filled his body with air sacs, and the strong buoyancy pushed his body to the surface of the sea.

Far away from him, beaked feathered wyverns were also diving deeper into the water again and again.

In terms of "sound", Spinosaurus had infrasound waves to use, but it was not difficult for the beak-feathered wyvern with its huge cavity to convert the ultrasonic waves they often use into infrasound or regular frequency sound waves.

Di Xing can observe that as they dive into the sea again and again, the air sacs in their bodies and the scales on their body surfaces, just like when they first entered the water, the muscles on the periphery and inner and outer walls, combined with the life force and wind elements, compressed the air and wind elements inside, and reduced their volume.

In the middle of the water, their bodies swing and shuttle like fish.

Air bladder.

I don't know if the airbag structure evolved from the swim bladder, or the structure of the same origin as the swim bladder.

In the previous life, the swim bladder, which would be filled with a large amount of oxygen, could also be used as a reserve and auxiliary breathing, similar to an air sac to a certain extent.

However, whether evolutionarily, the air sac itself is a part of the fish swim bladder that is specialized, or whether it evolved after the evolution of the lungs.

But there is no doubt that the swim bladder is homologous to the lungs of terrestrial vertebrates, and structurally speaking, the air sac is an extension of the lung.

It can be used as a throat bladder for fish - it is replenished by direct inhalation of outside air.

The reason why fishing drags fish to the surface first is to inflate the swim bladder of these fish, which is relatively more difficult to sink.

Although both are inflated, there is a difference between oxygen and hydrogen.

For the local line, this ability is really a "by-product".

The function of using buoyancy is also a very common ability for other creatures, as well as for creatures in previous lives.

As we all know, the pressure of seawater is basically determined by the depth of the water.

Fish in the more submersible sea areas generally have the organ structure of "swim bladder" or "fish bubble", which can control its volume by charging and releasing gas and seawater, so as to obtain different buoyancy.

That is, the basic principle of the submarine.

As long as the muscles around the swim bladder are strong enough to resist the pressure of the seawater, theoretically, it is no problem to dive to the deepest depths.

However, for creatures from this otherworld, there are easier and easier ways for them to float themselves.

Directly control the water element, take the "updraft", and you can float directly.

There is no need to rely on this swim-bladder-like organ to float at all.

To a certain extent, these otherworldly sea creatures are all "deep-sea species".

In the past, the vast majority of deep-sea fish, especially cartilaginous fish, did not have such an aerodynamic structure.

However, they went the other way.

In the case of the typical shark of cartilage fish, the shark is able to adjust the relative density of itself and the water with the help of a body in constant motion, using the squalene, a type of oil that is slightly less dense than water, in the liver.

And these marine races, under normal circumstances, have a higher body density than the sea, and in the absence of exercise, the body will naturally sink.

Relatively speaking, this method of producing gas through electrolysis is close to the swim bladder commonly used by bony fish, and he only needs to control the muscles that contract and relax the wall of the air sac to achieve the density adjustment and buoyancy control of the swim bladder.

At the same time, because the earth row can produce a liquid that is heavier than ordinary water, it can also achieve the density and buoyancy of cartilaginous fish.

The earth has tried several different ways over and over again.

For the Thundertide Dragons, who are able to use the water element and bioelectricity, their heavy body can combine the two means of inflatable fish bladder and water elemental power to achieve ups and downs.

For spinosaurs, which could not use the water element, the swim bladder was their main, if not the only, way of density regulation.

Moreover, the cavities in the body are also good vocal organs, which can exert their performance better than when they are active in the air, and also provide a good amplification chamber for their infrasound emission waves.

However, compared to these......

As he used the air sac in his body as a reaction chamber to produce hydrogen and heavy water, he discovered a problem.

After all, all kinds of respiratory metabolism and ionic reactions in carbon-based organisms are related to water.

As the heavy water in his body gradually replaces the regular light water, the speed of cell division is slowing down.

At a rough estimate of close to 90%, close to 95%, the cell division of some of his organs stopped.

For this result, the local line was slightly surprised but expected.

In previous lives, as long as more than a quarter of the water was replaced with heavy water, the body's reactions would gradually stop, and cell division would naturally stagnate.

Although the body of the earth is said to be based on "vitality" as the core, not "ion homeostasis" as the core, it is not surprising that organs such as bioelectricity are suspended, but why do other organs all stop?

Because his body still has a large carb structure?

He felt the state for a moment.

However, at this time, he suddenly found that his vitality could still circulate normally....... Even, faster?

Even the wind elemental stored in the air sac in his body, as well as the water elemental that was sucked in together when he was absorbed, became more active.

This is the most unexpected thing that makes the earth walk.

Theoretically, the buffer of heavy water ......

At this time, Dixing remembered something.

Compared with ordinary water, which is "light water", heavy water is indeed not radioactive.

But......

There is overweight water.

Conventional hydrogen, which has only one proton and no neutrons.

Heavy hydrogen has one proton, one neutron, one electron.

Tritium hydrogen is one proton and two neutrons.

The average person may not understand α decay, β decay, γ decay and the corresponding rays, but in contrast, it is easy to understand.

α decay, releasing a nucleus composed of two protons and two seeds, which can be called α particles or helium, the so-called α rays, which are a series of particle beams.

β decay, emitting or capturing an electron, and these streams of electrons are called β rays.

γ decay is much simpler, there are no particles released or absorbed, just different levels of electrons running into different orbits.

This can be compared to two magnets, the distance of 1 meter is one track, the distance of 2 meters of the second track, running from track 1 to 2 is γ decay.

It only emits electromagnetic waves to the outside world, the so-called γ rays, which are invisible light.

Alpha, Beta, Gama.

Of course, there can be no α decay of super heavy hydrogen, it is β decay.

Dixing remembered that its radioactivity was here, and as for whether it was accompanied by γ decay, he didn't remember much.

Is there tritative hydrogen in the ocean? He only vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he said that the half-life of super-heavy hydrogen was about ten years, and even if it did, it would disappear soon, and compared with uranium with a half-life of 700 million years, it was basically impossible to find a stable existence in nature.

But is electrolysis of water capable of producing tritium?

Or is it ...... What other radioactive material elements?

How is it synthesized?

The earth travels to sense the changes in the body, and follows the location of the organs that have been destroyed and stopped to find the source......

Then, to his surprise, the source was-

There are many organs centered on blood vessels and the heart.

It is not the main heart, but the second heart, which has evolved from the digestive organs.

Based on the consumption organs of the swamp dragons, the heart that converged and evolved.

Are there anything special about the marsh dragon's organs?

Thinking about it, the earth can only think of the source of the digestive power of the swamp dragons, and converge with the "dragon blood" that has evolved from the kobolds who have almost been forgotten by themselves.

PS: Thank you for your concern, however, this pandemic situation is difficult for most people to avoid, book friends take care of yourself.

....... Do you have any book friends like me who have a low fever on the third or fourth day, and when they have a low fever, their bodies are even weaker than high fever? When you have a high fever, do you feel better?

Feelings that should not have anything to do with swollen lymph nodes in the neck? After all, it's an old problem.

But it seems that it should be related, after all, the lymph nodes are immune organs.

Having said that, I suddenly remembered that when the group of crows (the book dropped by the pigeon) was first written two years ago, I was still thinking about what kind of impact the long-term isolation and frequent lockdown of the epidemic would have on social concepts and culture, and now I let it go.....

I've seen some people here who deliberately run out after the yang, especially the guys who run to crowded places, and even those who deliberately find "friends" to party after the yang.

For a crispy skin like mine with an underlying disease, come a few more times......

How to say, when I hear about these people, I always have the idea of "whoever deliberately comes to infect me will exchange his life for a life".

Even though it's just impulsive, and the thoughts are gone after the emotions come down, you know......

In the words of habit - "the idea of xx planted a seed in someone's heart".

As we all know, among the crimes such as homicide, passion (emotional) killings account for the vast majority.

You say, after that, will something similar happen? Although I can't be sure, and I don't have the means to estimate, when I feel emotional, I don't think it's an isolated case that I will have thoughts of revenge like mine.

I still live alone, and I don't have any other family members with me, if it's those who have families......

The way of the world has begun to change.

It's hard to say anything else, but I'm sure—

Although in terms of overhead, take the first place, but on the bizarre side, it may still be relatively realistic.

No one watches the outrageous, but the bizarre reality will attract attention.
