It is common sense that paper will burn when it encounters fire, and water will extinguish the fire when it encounters fire.

There is a very interesting physics experiment, using ordinary A4 paper to fold a small pot, then fill the paper pot with water, put the paper pot on the outer flame of the candle to roast, and ask if the paper pot will burn.

The result of the experiment is no, the paper pot with water can be used to boil water, and the water in the pot will be boiled and steamed until the paper pot will boil.

Su Wanqing did this physics experiment when she was very young and thought it was very interesting.

The paper, which was originally easy to ignite, was burned charcoal black in contact with the flame, but it still did not burn.

Because the boiling point of water is 100 degrees, when the flame raises the temperature of the paper pot to 100 degrees, the water boils and changes to steam, and the temperature does not continue to rise until the water dries, and the ignition point of the paper is higher than 100 degrees, so the paper pot will not burn, and the water in the pot can be boiled.

She wasn't reminiscing about her childhood, just reminiscing about this part of the memory in passing.

The mother, which is mostly made of water, looks like a liquid creature.

A creature made of water is not afraid of the kinetic energy generated by an explosion.

A bomb can blow up a building, but it can't blow up the water in a lake.

After a cloud of mud is blown away, it can still be gathered together.

The heat energy generated by the explosion can indeed cause damage to the parent body, but the first to suffer from the heat damage is still water, and when the water of the attacked part is evaporated, it will be its turn to destroy its internal structure.

Therefore, if you want to hurt it with flames, you must first evaporate all the water in its body.

But Su Wanqing also figured out another property of the mother body in the experiment, they can draw water from the environment.

If a group of bacteria is placed on the surface of the water at one end and below the surface of the water at the other end, no matter how much the liquid on the surface of the water is roasted, it will not be damaged, and they can quickly exchange and transport the water in the environment through the membrane to resist the burning of heat energy.

This life is unlike any known species on Earth, it doesn't look like it was born on Earth, it looks like it came from outer space.

Su Wanqing sorted out the experimental records, and the assistants resealed the water tank, and placed all the bacteria that had been taken out in the incinerator for collective incineration, and turned to face the camera.

She took the notes, sorted out her thoughts, and said: "According to the experimental results, the bacterial liquid of the mother, when exposed to light and heat, can convert energy into molecular chemical energy in a reaction similar to photosynthesis and store it in the body. ”

"Its transformation efficiency is related to the number of bacteria gathered in one place at the same time, the more the number, the faster the transformation rate, roughly calculated, the weight of the parent body in Zhoushan City is about 37 tons, and every time a bomb explodes, it can absorb about one thousandth of the energy equivalent to the explosion energy."

"The bomber crew dropped a total of 800kg high-explosive aerial bombs on it, two groups of honeycomb missile groups, and the energy of the explosion of these bombs allowed it to recover its own volume at the same time, it also increased its size by about one-twelve, so that the total weight increased by about 2 tons."

She faces the camera and explains the results of her experiments to Command, in order to veto Command's intention to drop an incendiary bomb.

"According to the current known information, the water content of the mother body is extremely high, accounting for about 85 percent, and only with ordinary bombs, all the body tissues of the mother body cannot be destroyed in an instant, because all the energy must be used to evaporate the water in its body first, and after the water is dried, the temperature can rise to the extent that its internal structure is destroyed."

"It deliberately walked the riverbed so that it could absorb water at all times."

"With incendiary bombs, the flame will only burn above the surface of the water, and it can also absorb water from the riverbed to withstand the heat."

"Dr. Su, I probably understand what you said, but is it possible to temporarily block the upstream river, wait for the riverbed to dry up, and then drop incendiary bombs on it and burn it." A neutral voice came from the loudspeaker.

"I'm afraid not, even if there is no water in the riverbed, it has the rest of the water source."

Su Wanqing called up the underground 3D model of this river basin, and it can be seen from the model that there is an underground river vein below this area.

"Meaning, ordinary weapons, can't stop it from advancing?"

"Instead of stopping it from moving forward, it will help it grow, and we are dropping bombs like discharging nitrogen and phosphorus-containing wastewater into eutrophicated freshwater, hoping that this sewage will poison the green algae in freshwater, but this will only exacerbate the eutrophication of the water and make the 'bloom phenomenon' more difficult to suppress."

"Dr. Su, do you have any other ways to deal with it?"

"No, with the existence of the parent body, we can't establish a research base in Zhoushan City, we only have two choices, either evacuate from Zhoushan City and choose another area to dock, or drop a hydrogen bomb to destroy the parent body, but in the process of sailing, we have already sent reconnaissance planes to explore the adjacent area, Zhoushan City is already the best choice under comprehensive conditions, or we can only sail farther to the sea, and try to choose extreme environments such as deserts to dock."

There was silence on the other end of the intercom for a moment, and then responded: "We understand, in twenty minutes, there will be a meeting to decide whether to use the hydrogen bomb, please gather in the main conference room." ”

"Roger." Su Wanqing hung up the call, waved her hand, and motioned for the assistants to deal with the laboratory site.

She took a step, staggered, and fell to her right.

The assistants exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly helped her.

She signaled that she was fine, just a little dizzy.

She was helped to the changing room, took off her thick protective clothing, and disinfected and sterilized her whole body.

The face under the helmet was already sweating profusely.

She was covered in sweat, and the inside of her protective suit was stuffy and hot, and she was overwhelmed by the weight she wore on her body.

She has been in the laboratory since last night, and she has only rested once, it is past five o'clock in the evening, and since nine o'clock in the morning, she has not taken off this dress, during which she has not drunk water, gone to the toilet, or eaten.

Before that, she had stayed up all night.

It is difficult for a man in the prime of life to support her for so long, let alone that she is a researcher who lacks exercise.

The assistant wiped her sweat and brought her a water cup, she simply chewed a box of compressed biscuits, pressed her temples, and asked the assistant to make her a cup of coffee.

She was going to an important meeting next and she didn't have time to rest.

"Teacher, why don't you sleep for a while, and we'll wake you up five minutes before the meeting starts." The assistant brought coffee.

"No need." She shook her head and drank her coffee: "You clean up the laboratory and let Xiaowei go to the ward with me." ”
