More than an hour later, Zhao Zijie closed the Hall thruster with satisfaction.

"Wow!"

Gao Yang quickly walked to the porthole and looked down.

"The effect is great!"

A smile appeared on Zhao Zijie's face: "That's not, high temperature is the natural enemy of these creatures!"

"According to the test results, most of these organisms are liquid methane."

"Just like water in the living organisms on Earth."

"Under the current air pressure, the methane liquefaction temperature is about -160 degrees Celsius."

"In other words, as long as the ambient temperature rises above 20 degrees Celsius, these organisms will explode and die."

"But even so, they still can't control their nature."

As soon as he finished speaking, a holographic image suddenly appeared next to the captain's seat.

"Captain Zhao Zijie, are the creatures outside still alive?"

Lu Yongchang's rapid voice came from the speakers.

...

Oh, it's over.

Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Captain Zhao Zijie? Can you hear it?" Lu Yongchang's urgent questioning continued, "You probably haven't taken action yet, right?"

Zhao Zijie's face turned bitter.

Let alone taking action, they are all ready to clean the battlefield.

"Ahem!"

Zhao Zijie coughed gently, and said with his mouth twitching: "Teacher, professor, your communication is a little late."

"Those jellyfish have already..."

In the holographic picture, Lu Yongchang was already stunned.

"All, all dead?"

"Yes." Zhao Zijie became more and more embarrassed, "Why would I go to the sea to catch you a few more?"

Lv Yongchang: “…”

"Forget it." He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let's wait for the next high tide."

"It just so happens that some test results have not yet come out."

Gao Yang's eyes showed a little curiosity: "Professor, have you discovered something?"

“These jellyfish are useful to us?”

Lu Yongchang didn't hide it, and nodded and said directly: "Not bad."

"The bodies of these jellyfish are mostly composed of liquid methane, so you should be clear about this."

Seeing the two nodding, Lu Yongchang reached out and picked up the water cup beside him and drank water, soothing his dry throat.

"During the process of life activities, a large number of chemical reactions will occur."

"Liquid water is a solvent with excellent performance that allows all kinds of chemicals to react fully."

"That's why we have always focused on finding liquid water in search of extraterrestrial life."

"But these jellyfish have pointed us out another way."

"Their body composition, except for liquid methane, is mostly lipid compounds."

"These lipid compounds can be dissolved in liquid methane more easily, which lays a good foundation for life reactions."

Gao Yang murmured to himself: "So, I said they look like fat, so I'm not wrong?"

Lu Yongchang was stunned.

"Although it's a bit inaccurate, it can be understood so."

"These jellyfish are like a large pile of moving fat."

"The next thing I want to say."

Lu Yongchang's voice paused.

"According to the detection, these organisms are multicellular organisms and have the most basic cellular structure."

"But they chose acrylonitrile to make cell membranes."

"Acrylonitrile?" Zhao Zijie was slightly stunned, "I remember that there are a lot of acrylonitrile in the atmosphere and surface of Titan?"

"Yes." Lu Yongchang nodded in praise, "I have a good grasp of the basic knowledge."

"Acrylonitrile, in liquid methane at -179 degrees Celsius, can still maintain good flexibility, which is why you see these jellyfish's body round, smooth and elastic."

"So, do they have any effect?" Zhao Zijie asked subconsciously.

Hearing this question, Lu Yongchang's expression became strange.

"Do you remember what I just told you that their bodies are made of lipid compounds and liquid methane?"

"The test shows that the mucus they secrete is extremely lubricating and has a stable property, making it very suitable for use on starships."

"Besides mucus can act as lubricants, their respiration is even more heart-warming."

"Respiring hydrogen, consuming acetylene, and producing methane."

"They produce methane at a rate of dozens of times faster than we do through chemical means."

"There is still a large part of the test results that have not been released yet, but no matter what, these creatures have helped us a lot."

"If conditions permit, I want to keep them."

Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang nodded silently.

There is no way, the boss has spoken, what else can they do?

The two of them could even imagine their next life.

In addition to extracting liquid methane, he acts as a fisherman in the Kraken-Mare Sea.

It has a different artistic conception.jpg

...

Half a month later.

With Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang looking forward to it, the Kraken-Marehai finally ushered in a second high tide.

Like the scene half a month ago, the hurricane drowned the phoenix starship in the sea with huge waves.

However, this time, in order to better capture the jellyfish, a cage composed of fine wire mesh was temporarily built on the open space outside the Luanniao Starship.

Inside the cage, there is a large electric heater.

After power on, the temperature of the electric heater will reach -170 degrees Celsius, which is 9 degrees Celsius higher than the surrounding temperature.

"Gaoyang, start the trapping plan."

Zhao Zijie sat in the captain's seat and said with a relaxed look on his face: "The tide is almost rising, you can turn on the electric heater."

Gao Yang didn't say anything, but just turned on the switch silently.

The electric heater starts working.

The temperature on its surface gradually rises.

200 meters deep in the Kraken-Mare Sea, countless huge jellyfish with light yellow color swim in liquid methane.

With their own heat-sensitive organs, they are constantly looking for areas with higher temperatures in seawater.

Suddenly, one of the jellyfish stopped wandering.

It turns direction and looks towards the sea of ​​methane.

Under normal circumstances, they are not interested in the sea surface.

After all, the temperature above is too low.

It's OK to go, but it's not necessary.

But this time it is different. In its senses, an extremely powerful heat source suddenly appeared near the sea surface!

Not only it, all the jellyfish around him stopped their movements and neatly turned their heat-sensitive organs towards the sea.

After a brief wait, these giant yellow jellyfish were like great white sharks sniffing the smell of blood, rushing towards the heat source frantically!

Among the phoenix starship, Gao Yang sat restlessly and looked around.

"Zijie, do you think there are jellyfish in the sea?"

"We won't put all the jellyfish last time..."

Zhao Zijie's mouth twitched slightly: "Shut up your crow's mouth."

"If this is true, I will tie you up and throw you out to attract jellyfish!"
Chapter completed!
