"Isotopes of carbon?" Chengying wondered, carbon 14? Obviously impossible! In terms of physical properties, most isotopes are not very different from their original form, so the possibility of being used as a catalyst is not very high.
"Well, it's another isotope, the structure of the atomic nucleus. It's a bit weird, and our current technical level is still a bit difficult to analyze. It seems to have half an extra neutron, which is measured by mass, but why is it half a neutron?
"It's not clear where the mass of this half of the neutron comes from." Liu Tianxin shrugged, saying that with existing technology, it might be difficult to explain this strange phenomenon.
"Oh, if we can't do it for the time being, then let's not do it. We should have a way to extract this substance. It seems that they are the key to the rapid growth and development of these plant-based soul beasts. If we can also increase the production of this substance
Speed, that would be even better." Yake is also quite pragmatic. If you don't understand something, just put it aside and wait until the technology is enough to study it.
It is undoubtedly a waste to forcefully waste funds and energy on technologies that cannot yet achieve breakthroughs.
"This requires our detector to go under the lake water to explore. The lake water here is not real water, but a mixture of various molten inorganic salts formed by the carbon isotopes I just mentioned.
Because the temperature there is extremely high, it is in a liquid state. Huo Yuhao also used this spring water to cause serious injuries that are difficult to heal, not just because of severe burns. Simple burns are actually easier to recover. Larger ones.
The trouble is actually? Many toxic compounds remain in his body, constantly destroying his body tissues.
There should be a mixture of liquid gas and certain oxides on the other side of the ice. The composition is still in the process of analysis. When I came back, there were other mineral veins under the lake water. Certain radioactive elements were detected in the springs on both sides. These radioactive elements were
Elements are probably energy sources that can maintain extremely high and extremely low temperatures without water. Otherwise, it would be difficult to create a high temperature above 6,000 degrees on the ground relying on the enrichment of geothermal energy from geological movements."
"Hmm... But the problem of extracting the catalyst used to accelerate the reaction should not be big. We only need a nanomembrane... Hmm... There seems to be a problem. Our nanomembrane needs to adapt to extreme temperatures. Wait for me and I will readjust it.
Just click on the parameters and it will be printed out in a moment." Cheng Ying returned to the computing platform in his head.
"My biological petri dish is ready." Yake said to Liu Tianxin: "Have you finished copying the transcribed RNA? This guy has several very rare amino acids in his body, and the standard transcription module is not easy to use.
."
"Done! But there is a small problem, which may affect our production. The special amino acid you mentioned, the carbon atom inside is the isotope with half an extra neutron, and it must be synthesized with carbon extracted from the lake water.
." Liu Tianxin was a little helpless because he lacked technical capabilities. This was a disadvantage and he needed to rely on natural resources. Fortunately, it only transcribed RNA, which required very little carbon. It was difficult to scale up to the level of industrial mass production.
When it comes to mass production in the laboratory, the problem is still not big.
"Done! The only thing missing is the reaction conditions! If there are no problems with our observations, it should be the conversion back and forth between extreme temperatures. This is the least difficult, let's get started! See if we can produce their life essence without relying on the plants themselves.
"Chengying put the final catalyst into the biological petri dish.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen biological petri dishes were sent into the extreme environment simulation chamber and cultivation began.
Through the transparent car window, Youxiang Qiluolan could see two people busy inside. She could see that her petals were sampled, and a very small trace was placed under a microscope for observation.
He was a little scared, but also a little curious. He didn't know what these humans were doing. They didn't want his life essence, but they were interested in his leaves and petals. Could it be that they had developed an appetite for him and wanted to eat him?
But the plant itself doesn't have much nutritional value! Even if you eat it, your cultivation will not improve. He wants to persuade these people not to eat themselves. It really doesn't taste good.
But the two people on the other side of the glass were indifferent and didn't pay attention at all, or they didn't even realize that someone was talking to them outside.
Not long after, Yuxiang Qiluolan saw that they had sent 16 petri dishes into an oven-like place, and then started to wait for a time. At least he could understand the time. The hourglass on the screen was very vivid.
About ten minutes later, the console in the extreme environment simulation area made a ding sound, which can be said to be quite unpleasant. It always reminds people that the rice is ready...
Yake opened the isolation door and the cold air hit his face, making him frown. In his reaction just now, Yang Mi and his companions absorbed more heat than they calculated. This caused the extreme environment simulation area to still be in an extremely low temperature state after the cultivation was completed.
"Well... although there was a bit of an accident, the result was not bad." Liu Tianxin took out the tray. Every time he cultured, there was an extra colorful bead.
Seeing this scene through the glass, Youxiang Qiluolan almost jumped up on the spot and pulled her roots out of the soil.
What did he see? In ten minutes, these two weird humans used their even weirder instruments to create 12 orbs that he could have accumulated for thousands of years.
Liu Tianxin casually picked one up, opened the car door, and threw it to Youxiang Qiluolan: "Can you help us see the difference between this thing and the bead on your body? Although it was synthesized with your DNA, there will inevitably be differences.
"
Youxiang Qiluolan stretched out its leaves dullly and took the bead, which was invulnerable to all poisons in his hand. The whole flower was in bad shape. He felt like a waste. Ten thousand years was worth less than ten minutes.
He observed the beads carefully, hoping that they were just fake, even if the effect was a little weaker than the one he produced, but it was not the case, and it was even slightly higher in purity.
After studying for a long time, Youxiang Qiluolan finally said solemnly: "If you want to say it is different, there is still a big difference."
Liu Tianxin was stunned: "Is there a big difference? The internal chemical composition we analyzed has already matched the organic macromolecules sampled from you. In theory, apart from the purity, there may be slight differences, and the proportions of various molecular contents are subtle.
Difference, everything else should be the same."
Youxiang Qiluolan shook her head and said, "You don't have a patella. Mine has been patted for more than 10,000 years."
