Chapter 230 Differences in Life Forms

Xiang Gan was also shocked after hearing the news. This is the first time that humans have found the life form that carbon-based life thought. △¢4△¢5△¢中△¢文↗Apex novel, no one knew the life form of the Lilan tribe back then, because after the Lelan tribe parasitized humans, it also became a carbon-based life. As for the Lilan tribe’s body Whether it is carbon-based life, no one knows.

"Now that we know its life form, can we develop a genetic virus to deal with it based on its genes?" Xiang Gan immediately thought of this question. For now, all the attack methods of human beings have no effect on Regteros at all, which means that human beings have no way to deal with it.

Now that we have the internal tissue structure of Regteros, if we can develop a gene virus that specifically targets it, then things will be easy. Energy attacks don't work, and physical attack defenses are too strong, but Xiang Gan doesn't believe that it can also defend against genetic attacks.

"It's hard to say. I'm not an expert in biology. After returning to Earth, these civilizations will be studied by the Green Star civilization. After all, they are experts." The scientist said awkwardly.

"Okay, I see." Xiang Gan nodded and said.

After the Green Land returned to Earth, Xiang Qian immediately organized the team of scientists from the Green Star Civilization and the Academy of Life Sciences led by Ning Ning to work together to crack the gene of Regteros.

Originally, Xiang Gan also wanted to say a few words to the team of scientists of Green Star Civilization, and proposed some incentives to speed up the cracking speed. But he didn't expect that after the group of scientists heard him say that there were tissue samples from the new form of life for them to study, they didn't even wait for him to finish speaking, and started clamoring for immediate research.

Facing such a group of passionate free labor scientists. Xiang Gan didn't say anything anymore, and took the person directly to the laboratory. Then...then he became an idler, and no one paid attention to him at all. Even Ning Ning told him that he would not go home at night.

Well, there is no reason to talk to a group of scientists who are going crazy, Xiang Gan pouted and left the laboratory, planning to come back tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Xiang Gan finished his official duties and came to the laboratory again after lunch.

As a result, at this meal time, there were no fewer people in the lab than when he left yesterday afternoon.

"Honey, have you eaten yet?" Xiang Gan came to Ning Ning's side. Said to Condensation who was manipulating the computer.

"The nutrient solution I just drank, I don't need to eat." Ning Ning glanced at Xiang Gan, and then continued to study the things on the computer.

"... Has the gene virus been researched?" Xiang Gan asked speechlessly.

"Not so fast. This new type of life structure has overturned many theories of our known biological disciplines. Before the research on this new type of life form is understood, it is impossible to study the gene virus targeting it."

"What's the difference? Please explain it to me carefully. Although I always heard about carbon-based life and silicon-based life in the past, now there is a multi-light element aggregation life. What is the relationship between these lives? What's the difference. I still don't know very well, especially why human beings are called carbon-based life." Xiang Gan blocked the condensation and prevented her from looking at the screen.

Ning Ning rolled his eyes at Xiang Gan, and stopped helplessly. He said to Xiang Gan: "The difference in life forms is mainly due to the difference in the basic elements that make up life, just like human beings are called carbon-based life, that is because the organs and tissues of the human body are composed of carbon elements..."

"Wait. According to what you said, what are the basic elements that organize life? What kind of life does life belong to. Then why haven't I heard of life forms such as iron-based life and copper-based life? Instead, what kind of silicon-based life? I have heard about life many times. It is basically found in science fiction novels. Could it be that other elements cannot form life, or is there some other reason.” Xiang Gan asked, interrupting Condensation.

"Don't interrupt, listen to me. I can't say that there is no such thing as iron-based life in the universe, but as far as human beings are concerned, it is really impossible for iron-based life to exist. Although the element cycle There are many elements in the table, but organic organisms often only contain five or six of them in large quantities, and one of the main elements that organic organisms contain in large quantities is carbon.

Carbon is the main component of almost everything in your body, such as sugar, protein, fat, dna, muscle tissue, etc. Without carbon, human beings would not exist, which is why human beings are called carbon-based life.

What makes carbon so special is that it is the electronic configuration of a single atom. The electrons are distributed in concentric "shells" around a central nucleus. A carbon atom has four outermost electrons. The most stable atoms have 8 electrons, which means that each carbon atom can form four bonds with surrounding atoms.

Although carbon is not the only element that can form four bonds, atoms with four outer electrons such as silicon, tin, and lead all have this property. The special thing about carbon is that it can form a double bond with one more electron than other atoms, which is why silicon-based life only exists in science fiction, but human beings actually exist. "Condensation said, while displaying carbon atoms and silicon atoms on the screen, which is more conducive to understanding.

"But with the current human technology, it should be no problem to form silicon-silicon double bonds, so does it mean that humans can create silicon-based life?" The keys should be fine.

"Synthetics are materials, not living matter. Only the life formed by the naturally evolved matter in nature can be regarded as a complete life. What is made by human beings is called a robot, not a life.

And there is also a problem with what you said. You haven't thought about why carbon has this double bond characteristic, but silicon doesn't. I'm telling you, it's because of the volume.

A carbon atom has the least number of electrons in its four outermost shells, which means that the electrons in the upper and lower orbitals are spaced close enough to overlap and form a second bond. Silicon, however, has many more electron orbitals, the bulk of the entire atom is larger, and it is nearly impossible for the outer orbitals to come close enough to form a double bond.

This is why carbon dioxide is a small gas molecule composed of two carbon-oxygen double bonds, while silicon dioxide is a behemoth composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, commonly known as sand. So you think about life made of countless silicon elements. How much is its volume, we can know why nature chooses carbon element to form life. instead of silicon. "Ning Ning said to ignore the dazed work and continue working on the screen.

"It's no wonder those Transformers are so big. It's not that they don't want to get smaller, but that the silicon atoms are too big, and their posture is too high." After Xiang Gan muttered, he didn't want to make fun of himself here. Anyway, at present, human beings can't research any genetic viruses, so don't count on this matter, let's think of other ways.

Xiang Gan did not return to the headquarters of the Earth Federation, and came to the Academy of Sciences to see if the data brought back this time was of any help, and at the same time hold another meeting. Discuss a solution.

"How is the research on the data I brought back yesterday? Have you come up with any solutions?" In the first sentence of the meeting, Xiang Gan directly asked the core question.

"According to the data, we can be sure that the super electromagnetic railgun still caused some damage to it. But we don't know how much. According to the data analysis, before it was hit and after it was hit, the radiation data has Obvious change, although this change is not large. But the radiation data has dropped significantly.

However, as for the means by which the second super electromagnetic railgun was intercepted, we don't know the principle at all, and there is no way to crack it. But because it has interception means, we can only give up long-range attacks in the future. So I think. For the next attack method, it is best to study energy, the speed of electromagnetic weapons is always a flaw. "

Xiang Gan finished speaking. A weapon researcher stood up and said, but he said a lot. But it's all nonsense, that is, the last sentence is somewhat useful.

"The energy attack weapon. Do you have any good suggestions?" Xiang Gan continued to ask.

"The energy weapons we are currently researching, whether they are particle weapons, ray weapons, etc., are all composed of positive matter particles. And the composition of that monster is also composed of a large amount of positive matter, similar to the interior of the sun.

Since positive matter has little effect on it, can we try something other than positive matter. Such as negative matter, antimatter, and dark matter, the energy attack composed of such matter particles may have unexpected effects on them. "The scientist who dismantled old man Li last time said again.

As a result, old man Li immediately counterattacked, saying: "Hehe, negative matter, antimatter, and dark matter are easy to say. Antimatter also appeared in the particle collider, and the time of appearance is still counted in microseconds, even if it is super strong. Magnetic field capture is only a fraction of a second, not to mention how to make a weapon. Not to mention dark matter, you find me to open my old man's eyes.

Negative matter is easy to say, there are many negative matter such as negative electrons, but basically these negative matter will not separate from atomic ions to form a group alone. Then tell me, how do these three kinds of substances form weapons, you must never say that you can directly make bombs by extracting a few tons of antimatter. "

"Even if these three substances can't make weapons yet, I think that as long as the energy level is high enough, even ordinary laser weapons can cause damage to that monster."

"That's right, the energy level is high enough, then if you raise the energy level of the laser weapon to the level of a supernova explosion, it will definitely kill that monster."

"If the super-strong magnetic field..."

"Wait, don't even talk about it." There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Xiang Gan's mind just now. "Teacher, what did you just say?"

"Uh... I didn't say anything, I was just joking." Old man Li said awkwardly. He also knew that it's not good to be so arrogant in this kind of venue, so he blushed rarely.

"No, teacher, I didn't mean to blame you. What you said just now can't blow up that monster." Xiang Gan frowned and finished speaking. He actually thought of something just now, but he didn't catch it. That aura was related to what Old Man Li said, so he wanted Old Man Li to say it again.

"I said anti-matter, negative matter..." Old man Li saw Xiang Gan's serious expression, and knew that Xiang Gan was not playing with him. Although he didn't know what Xiang Gan was going to do, he was about to repeat what he said, but he just started to say It was interrupted by Xianggan.

"Teacher, it's not this paragraph, it's the one you said later."

"Um... I said that if the energy level of the laser weapon is raised to the level of a supernova explosion, it will definitely kill that monster."

After hearing this, Xiang Gan finally grasped the flash of inspiration. That's right, it was a supernova explosion.

"If a supernova explodes, and the monster is right next to the supernova that is going to explode, do you think that monster will die?" Xiang Gan asked excitedly.

Many scientists below were stunned for a moment. Although this possibility was basically not possible, theoretically speaking, it was really possible to blow up the monster directly.

"If a supernova explodes, it should be able to inflict a lot of trauma on that monster. As for whether it can be killed, it's hard to say. Because the inside of the monster is similar to a star, it will be much more resistant to the radiation after a supernova explosion, so This is a problem we need to pay attention to. But as long as we have data on its resistance to radiation and energy attack resistance, we can calculate the upper limit of the energy level it can withstand." A scientist said cautiously.

"That's it, I see. Xingkong, take out the data after the giant star explosion was detonated by the green star civilization last time. Later, you can study the energy level of this giant star after the explosion. The meeting is over." Xiang Gan said left.

His idea is very simple, since human beings can't make weapons of such a powerful energy level, they should rely on the power of the universe to deal with Regteros.

That's right, Xiang Gan just wants to detonate the giant star again, and have a supernova explosion.

Soon, Xiang Gan rushed to the research center of the Green Star Civilization, and found the dean of the Academy of Sciences of the Green Star Civilization to explain his purpose. He wants the Green Star Civilization to make a plant weapon that detonates the giant star, and the effect is better than the last time, and the power after detonation is stronger than the last time.

Faced with Xiang Qian's request, the Green Star Civilization immediately began to organize personnel to start scientific research. They have not studied the plant weapon that detonates the giant star for a long time. Unexpectedly, Xiang Gan now asked them to continue to study the kind of weapon that would hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-damage by eight hundred, so they could only start temporarily.

But fortunately, the current Green Star civilization is not the previous three-level initial civilization. With the current technology reserves of the Green Star civilization, it is much easier to create more powerful plant weapons than before.

Therefore, after Xiang Gan made the request, in less than three days, the supernova explosion seeds made with the highest technology of the green star civilization were researched. According to calculations, the detonation power of the giant star this time is definitely a hundred times that of the previous one. above.

After getting the seed, the remaining thing is to know how strong Regteros' defense against energy attacks is. For this reason, Xiang Gan specially asked Li Cheng to take 3 million people and drive the Qianjin number to collect data. Only the energy insulation properties of special rare metals can defend against the powerful energy attack of Reggettros. (To be continued..)
