Chapter 292 Virus Planet
"At the height of the Tenzin Mountains, the exploration team discovered that in addition to nitrogen ice, there were also rock-hard water ice. Humans had long argued that it was not realistic to rely on nitrogen ice that was not very hard enough to rely on nitrogen ice alone. The hardness of this liquid methane after freezing was not suitable for forming tall peaks, and only water ice had this hardness. As a result, the exploration team discovered water ice as soon as they climbed the Tenzin Mountains." Zhang Xingxing mentioned the Pluto exploration and discovery that year.
"This is just turning the verified scientific conjecture into reality, and it is not a particularly important discovery." Duoduo was also questioning the importance of the results found by these exploration teams.
"The major discovery was precisely in these huge transparent bodies made of water freezing. The temperature of the Tenzin Mountains was as low as minus 238 degrees Celsius. Inside these cold water ice, the exploration team discovered new substances that did not exist in the nitrogen ice at all." Zhang Xingxing continued to tell everyone in detail the entire process.
"What did they find in these ice cubes?" I asked Zhang Xingxing because this was the most critical moment.
"Bacteria, bacteria that are completely frozen, countless different types of bacteria. Some of them have a width of hundreds of meters. Such a huge size makes the exploration team wonder whether these guys are bacteria, because humans have never seen bacteria of this size on Blue Star, but at this moment these monsters are frozen on Pluto's iceberg and only in the water ice." Zhang Xingxing quickly answered my question.
"Bacteria with a scale of hundreds of meters is too exaggerated. How could such a large bacteria exist? This is a wild beast." Zhang Paul showed a questioning attitude towards this phenomenon.
"After careful observation, the exploration team found that these frozen organisms all belong to single-cell structures. No matter how large their body size is, they all meet the basic structural elements of bacteria, mainly formed by cell wall and cell membrane cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Some bacteria also have special structures, such as capsules, flagella, spores, etc., which can be confirmed to be bacteria." Zhang Xingxing answered Zhang Paul's question.
"It's too unrealistic for bacteria to be over a hundred meters." Zhang Paul still maintained his doubts.
"What's wrong with this? Later facts prove that this bacteria also exists." Zhang Xingxing refuted Zhang Paul's doubts with actual real phenomena.
"What did you say? This large bacteria have been resurrected?" Zhang Paul was surprised by Zhang Xingxing's words.
"Now the super virus on Pluto, the main opponent of our operation, is a super giant bacteria with a width of more than 500 meters. This is the top secret information obtained by the Interstellar Alliance from the Holy Empire." Zhang Xingxing affirmed the existence of the super bacteria with examples.
"Xingxing, what did you say? The super virus mentioned before is a bacteria, not a group of bacteria?" I also asked anxiously when I heard Zhang Xingxing's words.
"Yes, it's just a bacteria, not a group, but all living organisms that have seen this bacteria have died. Except for the sect leader, the current information is transmitted back through robots." Zhang Xingxing confirmed that our opponent was just a bacteria.
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this that can make people die in an instant. I don't understand what method is used to do this." Lao Du also exclaimed from the side.
"It's no big deal. This virus must have grasped the common characteristics of life forms at this level of civilization, so it can be fatal in one blow. Therefore, it is only necessary to study the common points of all life forms to find this secret." Temu gave everyone a direction to think about it at this moment.
"I think it is not only necessary to consider the special abilities of this creature, but also the environment of the entire Pluto. Only when the two factors are closely combined can such a fatal effect be achieved." Baron Hughes also put forward a supplementary point.
"No matter what, the truth may not be discovered on the surface of Pluto, but it is an indisputable fact that this planet is frozen with many viruses and bacteria. How should we resist the invasion of these bacteria and achieve the goal of rescuing the sect leader is what needs to be researched and confirmed most at present." Zhang Xingxing summarized this popular science discussion.
"What else do you need to study? Are the red biscuits ready? Those treasures we brought back with us with the power of life and death." Zhang Paul immediately reminded Zhang Xingxing.
"We do now have the red biscuits provided by the Zhixing people, but this food is effective in their ancestors. It is still unknown how much resistance to viruses has in us. Whether it can only resist one bacteria, or all bacteria, or whether the efficacy of the medicine is durable, needs to be verified clearly." Zhang Xingxing quickly answered Zhang Paul's question.
"Sir, I think you have changed recently. We used to do it just by doing it, but I have never seen you so many worries?" Zhang Paul said to Zhang Xingxing directly for me.
"I have seen more killings in the past two years, and now there are fewer and fewer forces that can fight to protect our lives. We have no capital to squander and use this power at will. It is hard for humans to accept the blow that they have lost again." Zhang Xingxing's answer put everyone at the scene in silence.
"Should we send someone up first to try to see if this kind of biscuit can ensure that it can resist the virus?" I broke the silence and made a suggestion for Zhang Xingxing.
"It's too dangerous to go explore the way alone. I think it's safer to send at least two people and Duoduo together." Paul Zhang expressed his attitude of participating in the priority of entering Pluto.
"I guess this method is very difficult. At present, the Imperial Legion's defense line is difficult to break through. There is no chance that we can intersperse trial and error within its defense line." Baron Hughes directly rejected the test plan.
"Yes, this action may be the last hope of mankind. If it fails, it will be a matter of ten more days of survival, so you can only take a single bet." Zhang Xingxing also agreed with Baron Hughes's point of view.
"Since that's the case, we can only wait patiently for the news from Kate and Master Jing. Now only a day has passed. It seems that everyone should not be too nervous. Anyway, it has reached the last moment." Lao Du said to comfort everyone's emotions.
According to the current situation, Zhang Xingxing ordered an eight-hour rest and wait for eight hours to reconvene the military meeting after eight hours, and arranged to pay attention to all the action information to respond to it in a timely manner.
The rest cabin of the Marcus was not big, and I, Paul Zhang and Du, squeezed into the same room.
"Cangyue, should we eat those red biscuits in advance? What if?" Zhang Baoer asked me.
"Why should I eat it in advance? It should be taken when I act normally to avoid accidents." Old Du asked Zhang Paul in surprise for the purpose of saying this.
"I'm not relieved. Didn't you notice that there were two more people? If those two kittens couldn't figure it out and ate the biscuits, wouldn't it be very upset?" It seems that Paul Zhang was already scared of Daom's stealing biscuits.
After hearing what Zhang Paul said, Lao Du seemed to think it made some sense and even asked me if I could eat biscuits first.
"If you want to eat, eat it. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything." I said with my back to the two of them lying on the bed.
With my acquiescence, the two of them immediately closed the door and left. Less than ten minutes later, the two guys quickly returned to the rest cabin.
"Are you finished eating?" I immediately sat up and turned to ask Paul Zhang who was still thrusting his mouth.
"Well, I feel much more at ease now." Zhang Paul showed a smug expression on his face.
"I don't know if this red biscuit will work. If it cannot take effect then, maybe we will end the game in an instant." The cautious Lao Du said with concern.
"Don't worry about it, Zhang Xingxing said that if it doesn't work, it's the end of ten days early. If the blue star is gone, where can we go? Do you really plan to escape to the edge of the universe?" Zhang Paul shouted Lao Du.
"No, I think Lao Du's words make sense. If the action fails and we survive by chance, I think it is very important to have a backup plan for the continuation of life." I stopped Zhang Paul's shouting and expressed my agreement with Lao Du's point of view.
"But this alternative solution is beyond our imagination. The exploration area that the interstellar alliance can reach is limited to the range of the Milky Way. The technology of the Holy Empire can already reach the two regions of the Milky Way and the Andromeda. We have no way to reach even further distances. Therefore, no matter where we reach the existing technology, we cannot escape the pursuit of the empire at present." Zhang Paul told the actual difficulties.
"There are always more difficulties than solutions, but difficulties can always be solved. I think there is someone who can help us make a good reserve plan for the continuation of life." I suddenly looked up and said to the two of them.
"Who do you mean? Who can have such great energy?" Zhang Baoer immediately asked me.
"Tem, I believe that only he can understand the universe and give us the greatest help." I said affirmatively to Paul Zhang.
"That short guy is not reliable. He is very civilized and said high-level civilization every day, and his words are not very credible." Zhang Paul questioned Temu's ability.
"Cangyue, is that guy from the Holy Wings really willing to help us? I think we still need to observe whether it is 100% safe to count on him for such an important work." Lao Du also expressed his attitude to me that he needed to act cautiously.
"No matter what, Temu is indeed a stellar civilization. I am willing to choose to believe in a higher-level civilization. Let's take a step back and help us to check it out. I want to talk to Temu." I still stick to my point of view.
"I still think Temu is unreliable. I have experienced any stellar civilization, which means that I only know more knowledge than us. Besides, just the alternatives that the three of us came up with, the Interstellar Alliance will not adopt at all." Zhang Paul still seemed to be resentful of Temu's arrogance.
