Chapter 098 Weapons
After taking a short rest, Yunze took Wang Liangyi to the room that served as a temporary research room.
The door uses a simple isolation curtain. This special rubber curtain with its own disinfection function can automatically disinfect people when they enter and exit.
It is a temporary disinfection tool used by the fortress for field research and is widely used in reverse world research.
Yunze and the others passed through the disinfection curtain and came indoors.
In the room, three of Kong Zhang's students were performing pre-processing work on some bacterial specimens. All processes were carried out in isolation tanks.
Students only need to operate the robotic arm to complete these processes.
Yunze walked to the side and watched as a student skillfully cleaned the sample and then cut it into tissue blocks as thin as cicada wings. He then used tools to fix them, and then used special chemicals for secondary rinses.
After further dehydration, some of the bacterial slices are sent to the observer on the Kong Zhang side. Some of them are put into special chemicals for transparent treatment, and then the tissue is preserved through processes such as waxing and embedding for taking back.
The fortress serves follow-up research.
Kong Zhang's observer has multiple functions. The tissue samples sent from the students were placed in several independent observation boxes.
These observation boxes can simulate the natural environment to analyze the performance of adverse plants in different environments.
When Yunze walked over, the old man was operating one of the observation boxes. The observation box simulated a normal sunlight scene, and the tissue samples were exposed to the light without any change.
"Teacher, what have you discovered?" Yunze lowered his voice for fear of disturbing the old man.
Kong Zhang rubbed his glasses, took out a data pad, and handed it to Yunze.
"My previous guess was correct. When this thing is exposed to light, its cells completely stop moving."
Kong Zhang patted another observation box, which simulated a dark night environment: "But in a dim environment, its cell activity is quite large. Look, it has been processed into sliced tissue. But now, it has begun to grow.
Mycelium is coming out.”
Yunze looked towards the box, and sure enough, the fungi in the box had fluffy hyphae sprouting from the edges.
"It's strange, these things weren't so active before."
At the Yunxiang base, the Yun family has at least one-third of the management rights, and the Yun family has family members stationed at the base all year round.
Yunze was no stranger to Gemstone Town, and he also knew about the glowing flora in the town. Moreover, it was not the first time that Kong Zhang came to Gemstone Town. The old man had been here eight years ago.
At that time, samples of bacterial flora were also collected, and apart from the discovery of luminescent bacteria adhering to the surface of these things, no other abnormalities were found.
Yunze had read the report, so he knew very well that the vitality of the bacterial flora was now too strong.
Compared with eight years ago, there are almost two species.
"Look at this."
Kong Zhang looked solemn and pointed to another observation box. That observation box simulated an extremely cold environment. In this environment, the color of the bacterial flakes was gray. In fact, most of the tissue had turned into powder.
"This is?"
Yunze looked at the old man.
Kong Zhang clasped his hands behind his back: "When this thing is around minus 60 degrees, the tissue will die and shatter. However, this does not mean that it is really dead."
Kong Zhang tapped the data pad in Yunze's hand a few times, and a line of information appeared on the data pad.
Yunze's pupils dilated slightly: "Their tissues will die in a cold environment. But they will leave behind spores, and these spores will still remain active in this environment?"
Kong Zhang nodded: "Yes, this may be a self-protection mechanism for them. Next, I will do a few more sets of tests to see how those spores perform in other environments."
"If they can still maintain cell activity in other environments, such as light, then it is certain that these things have strong propagation properties. It is possible that these are biological weapons that have evolved against the world to deal with us!"
Yunze gasped.
Even the enigmatic Wang Liangyi didn't look good at this time.
Although the cells of the bacterial colony will stop moving when exposed to light, if their spores can remain active in various environments, then once they flow out of the reverse boundary, they will reach the other side of the Kraff's Gate.
Sooner or later, these things will cover the world. After all, the reverse world can be dark for many years, but there is no way the sun will hang high over the door forever.
Kong Zhang sighed: "In fact, some scholars from Qiongcang Castle and I hold the same opinion. We should not go too deep into the reverse world, let alone ask for too much. The reverse world is always changing. Maybe one day, the worlds on both sides will be different because of Kra
The husband's door overlaps."
"At that time, it may be the end of the world outside the door..."
Yunze forced a smile: "No, there are teachers, other scholars, and fortress cities. Such a thing will definitely not happen."
Kong Zhang smiled: "I hope so."
...
The sky was awakened by some light, and when I woke up, the whole room was filled with deep blue light.
The young man stood up in surprise and ran to the window to take a look, only to find that the bacteria in the town were all emitting a hazy, faint blue light.
It looks like pieces of blue gemstones. No wonder this town is named after gemstones.
It's a pity that these things look beautiful, but are extremely aggressive. They are a threat to both the environment and living creatures.
Thinking about it this way, Tianyang didn't think they were pretty.
At this time, he noticed that he was stepping on a huge blue light spot.
That's because there happens to be a strange tree outside the building, which is covered with bacteria. When the bacteria glow, the whole tree looks like a huge blue torch.
The light poured in from the window, forming a blue spot.
Tianyang suddenly had an idea, and he suddenly remembered that there was also a row of strange trees occupied by bacteria outside that strange building.
Moreover, there is a strange cross-shaped window on the door of that building.
If the glow of the flora shone through that window, maybe...
Thinking of this, Tianyang Wuwu packed up his equipment and didn't bother to say hello to Adam who was sleeping soundly next to him. He directly opened the window and jumped into the blue world outside the building.
After falling to the ground, Tianyang felt something in his heart and turned around to look back.
The building cast a large shadow in the faint blue light of the bacteria. Tianyang could not see anything unusual, so he left with peace of mind.
However, behind the small building, in the shadow of the corner.
Someone came out, holding a food stick and took a big bite.
When I came to the strange building again, sure enough, the row of strange trees across the street, the bacteria on the trees were all glowing. The bright but not dazzling blue light illuminated the entire street.
Tianyang entered the door of the building and saw a cross light spot on the ground.
