Chapter 557: The tentacles are very cute? I drop Maye
On the other hand, Olendrake has been at Shoreline University for some time, and has been leading and taking charge of the new hibernation project during this time.
Oren was very excited. This time it was a new research direction for him. The hibernation project he led this time did not copy and continue his research in Alcor, but adopted brand-new technical methods.
An experimental chimpanzee has been transported to the laboratory yesterday. This is undoubtedly a new development, and today we will enter the freezing technology of chimpanzees.
In the morning, Ye Hua took several of his students to visit Oren's laboratory in order to cultivate their scientific interests. Two students, Lin Zifan and Feng Chao, were very excited when they learned that they were going to visit the laboratory.
Their biggest ambition now is to have their own laboratory.
At this moment, two adults, Ye Hua and Xiao Liu, led eight young people to the hibernation laboratory center.
"...In fact, the concept of 'cryopreservation of the human body' was first proposed in a science fiction novel, and the real technical research can be traced back to 1967. Medical scientists at that time believed that terminal diseases that cannot be treated currently will be treated in the future.
Technology may be able to treat it, and patients can wait until that day comes by freezing their bodies. This is the original intention of hibernation technology rather than space travel."
There was a hibernation project researcher leading the way, leading Ye Hua and others through a curved corner. Several students looked around curiously. After a while, Ye Hua continued:
"This idea may have been inspired by early explorers from the innate ability of some animals. Whenever they enter hibernation, these animals will undergo a series of physiological changes in their bodies, such as: heartbeat slows down, breathing weakens,
The sense organs become dull, the body's energy consumption is greatly reduced, etc., to help them survive even if they don't eat or drink throughout the winter."
At this time, everyone came to a transparent tempered glass door. The researcher who led the way took out his work card and swiped it. The door opened by itself. Ye Hua took Lorentis and others into the laboratory. Lin Zifan and
Feng Chao was the most excited.
The hibernation project center has a large space, and there are several sterile and dust-free isolation laboratories inside the laboratory, where you need to wear isolation clothing to enter.
Ye Hua saw Orendrake walking towards him, and immediately turned to look at Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, take them to look around and keep an eye out."
"Okay principal."
After a while, Orendrake came over and shook hands and said hello. Ye Hua asked casually: "Professor, when will the freezing of experimental subjects begin?"
"We are preparing, but we are almost there." Oren said: "We found that hibernating organisms will activate a set of self-protection mechanisms during hibernation to avoid brain and muscle damage. How to master this mechanism is undoubtedly the key to the development of hibernation technology.
Crucially, we have discovered the adenosine ai receptor that controls the lowering of body temperature in hibernating animals, but the principle of animal hibernation is still unclear."
"Tardigrades can withstand extremely harsh conditions for long periods of time. We have found that they can put themselves into a 'cryptobiosis state', that is, slow down or stop their metabolism for a long time. We are continuing to study this 'cryptobiosis'
We will conduct further detailed research on the state' to improve our understanding of its long-term survival mechanism and its conditions, and we found that your theory shows that this 'cryptozoic state' is closely related to the virtual field. Perhaps we can use it in this direction.
Find out the feasibility of letting humans take advantage of this function."
A researcher walked up to the two of them: "Professor, the preparations have been completed."
"Then let's get started."
Orendrake looked back at Ye Hua, exchanged a few words and then left with the researcher.
Ye Hua looked around. Several students were scattered around the experimental center to visit. He casually walked next to Lorentis. When she saw Ye Hua approaching, she asked casually: "Teacher, what is this?"
Hearing this, Ye Hua came to the microscope, took a look, and said with a smile: "This is called a tardigrade. It can sleep for thirty years. This name is the common name for creatures from the phylum Tardigrade. They are very small. They may be the oldest species in the world.
It is the most vital creature we know, able to survive in various extreme conditions, even in a vacuum or under radioactive rays."
"A long time ago, scientists discovered some tardigrades in the bryophytes of Antarctica and refrigerated them. Decades later, in 2014, the scientists decided to thaw them and conduct further research to save those tardigrades.
When the worms are placed in a warm environment, they show signs of life on the first day of thawing, recover after two weeks, and produce intact, normal offspring."
"Tardigrades do not refer to a single species, they are actually a huge group: the phylum Tardigrade. You heard me right, a whole phylum, in which there are currently thousands of species known only to us humans.
There may be many more species that have yet to be discovered."
"They have a huge family and are widely distributed, from Antarctica to the North Pole, from mountains to seas, from fresh water to moist soil and moss. They basically occupy the whole world. Duchenne albicans, which is the most common
One of the tardigrade species.”
Laurentis blinked at Ye Hua with admiration: "Teacher, you are so amazing, you know everything."
Ye Hua smiled and said nothing. Laurentis looked at them again and couldn't help but murmured curiously: "So familiar, it seems that I have seen them somewhere a long time ago..."
"Mostly you must have seen the Marvel movie "Ant-Man and the Wasp". In the plot of the movie, Dr. Pym encountered a strange little bug, which was actually this kind of tardigrade. To be sure,
It’s called hypsibius-dujardini, and it’s probably the most bizarre supporting cast in the history of Marvel.”
"They look so cute, so cute," said Lorentis.
Ye Hua was slightly stunned, thinking of the little bugs he had just seen: "Classmate Luo Lan, why do you think this kind of thing looks similar to a smaller version of the big-tailed maggot... How on earth is this thing so cute? How cute is it?
Already?"
"It's really cute..." Laurentis rarely saw the majestic Teacher Ye complaining, and said with a smile: "Look carefully at their little claws, aren't they very cute? Super
Love the furry feel.”
"Okay, the little claws are so cute." Ye Hua said perfunctorily, thinking in his mind that you, cute little ones, Lorantes are much cuter than them.
It's very puzzling, I can't handle those little claws with tentacles at all. Why does she feel so cute?
Ye Hua was stunned...wait a minute!
Little claws? Tentacles? Very cute? I really like the furry touch?
