The space elevator project on the Origin Star started construction in a mighty manner. A large number of construction workers found new projects to work on. They began to work hard for wages and benefits again. The northern base instantly became a large-scale construction site, bustling with activity. It doesn't look like an extremely cold place.
After worrying about the material supply issue here, Chen Lin turned his attention to the fog portal on the Taka continent.
At this time, the foggy world has been officially named, and it is called [Fog Hidden Star]. However, Chen Lin is still more accustomed to calling it the foggy planet, and he has not changed it.
Anyun Base invested hundreds of millions in total funds to explore the entire planet. Later, it was discovered that the planet’s fog covered the entire area, and even areas close to outer space had similar poisons floating around. Fog exists.
The exploration of the misty world continues, and new discoveries are made almost every day. The new content discovered by the exploration was even laid out in front of Chen Lin. Finally, Chen Lin asked for the corresponding All data were converted to electronic format, thus preventing the entire desk from being filled up.
Chen Lin looked at the newly sent information on his computer with a tired look on his face. Of course, the content about the Hidden Mist Star was at the top of the list.
The Kiryin Star is a relatively special planet. The ocean on its planet occupies 60% of the surface, and the land is divided into countless islands scattered in the vast ocean-the planet they are currently on The area is actually the largest island, its size is about half of the Taka continent.
The natural environment of this planet is similar to that of the Earth, but fog is the most significant feature of this planet. Thick fog covers the foggy star all year round, making the visibility of the planet extremely low. Even during the day, it is difficult to get sunlight. Penetrating the thick fog layer, the normal photosynthesis of vegetation is also restricted. Most of them do not rely on photosynthesis to survive, but rely on absorbing substances in the dense fog.
This results in the air on Kiriyin Star containing a large amount of toxins. Normal humans cannot even take a breath when entering it without special equipment.
Due to the existence of fog, the creatures on Wuyin Star have evolved a unique way of survival. Previously, more than 40 kinds of creatures have been discovered here at Anyun Base. With subsequent exploration, the types of creatures have once again has been expanded, and now more than 200 species have been detected and discovered.
The creatures on the Hidden Star have different forms, but most of them have powerful sensory systems, which ensures that they can accurately perceive the surrounding environment in the fog. After all, in this dense fog environment, having good eyesight has no effect. .
The creatures here often have special skins or shells, which ensures that many of them can reflect or absorb the light in the fog in order to better camouflage themselves or attract prey.
The feathered snake-like creatures discovered by drones in the clouds in the sky are actually similar to the cloud snakes in the inner world of Blue Sea Star, but these mist feathered snakes are even more terrifying. According to the calculations and estimations of the omnic, the length should be hundreds of meters, which is far beyond all of their knowledge.
Based on the many observations of the omnic drone later, we can basically see some of the characteristics of this thing.
This creature is a huge aerial snake. Of course, they can also be called a mixture of birds and snakes. The bodies of these guys are covered with soft and tough feathers, and their feathers can The fog absorbs and reflects light, making them virtually invisible in clouds.
The body length of feathered serpents exceeds 100 meters. They swim in the mist like giant dragons gliding in the sky.
Quatted Serpents are apex predators that feed on other creatures in the mist - their hunting method is unique and efficient, using the mist as cover to quietly approach their prey and attack it directly These things are so huge that almost no creature can easily escape.
Quatted Serpents have keen senses. Their eyes can capture weak light in the fog, and their sense of smell and hearing are also extremely sensitive and can sense prey in the distance. Omnic drones are very useful for These creatures are actually very noisy mechanical devices. These devices have destroyed many drones. In the end, the staff couldn't hold it any longer and used special means to capture a feathered snake.
It is precisely because of the research on this feathered snake that Anyun Base has a better understanding of it.
The feathers of feathered snakes are not only their camouflage, but also their weapons. These things can shoot their feathers like arrows. Each feather has a barb, which can easily penetrate the prey's body. skin.
When hunting, feathered snakes will suddenly descend from the clouds, cover their prey with feathers, and then quickly capture them. These feathered snakes are called snakes, but they actually have the sharp claws of birds, which will directly kill the creatures in the fog. Catch them into their nests and eat them slowly.
However, although the feathered serpents are the top predators, they are not invulnerable. There are still some creatures in the mist world that can resist the hunting of the feathered serpents.
For example, some flying creatures discovered by omnic drones have organs that can emit strong sound waves. These sound waves can interfere with the senses of feathered snakes and make them lose their sense of direction. Once the feathered snakes perceive these sound waves, they will Will directly choose to avoid it. The omnic drone later simulated this sound wave, which greatly reduced the crash rate of the drone.
There has actually been a breakthrough in the research on feathered snakes. Subsequently, personnel from the Institute of Biology reported detailed research data on feathered snakes, which covered research on the flesh, flesh, external scales, and feathers of this creature. After reading the data, Chen Lin was quite satisfied.
These feathered snakes are huge but extremely light. Their flesh contains a special enzyme. This enzyme has strong healing ability, can accelerate wound healing, promote tissue regeneration, and is useful for treating serious injuries and The disease has a significant effect - this has been certified by the expert group of the Red Dragon Association. It can be seen that the subsequent survival on the Hidden Mist Star will not be too stable.
With a body of hundreds of meters, the feathered snake has a lot of flesh and blood. Through research, it has been found that eating the flesh and blood of the feathered snake can enhance the individual's physical fitness and even improve the resistance to harsh conditions in the foggy environment.
This is somewhat of a good thing for those who need to carry out follow-up work in the foggy world.
The flesh and blood of this thing has been analyzed, and it can be eaten normally after cooking. Someone at the Mist Research Institute at Anyun Base has eaten it in advance. Of course, Chen Lin is not sure about the taste. He can only feel it from the text evaluation on the computer.
However, it seems that the reviews are quite good, saying that the meat is fresh and tender, almost the same as crocodile meat and chicken.
The group of scientists at the institute are conducting in-depth research on the flesh and blood of the feathered snake. They all hope to analyze its healing and strengthening mechanism, so as to develop new medical technologies and biological enhancers, preferably It can also enhance the golden mist factor liquid.
Chen Lin also specially approved four million more research funds for this group of people. Of course, he also supports these works. The feathers of the feathered serpent have unique optical properties that can absorb and reflect light in the fog, thereby achieving near-perfect invisibility. These feathers can be used to make advanced camouflage clothing and stealth devices, which are extremely useful for explorers and the military. Precious, this was somewhat beyond Chen Lin's expectation.
There is no such thing as magic on the entire Misty Hidden Star. Creatures have their own unique physiological characteristics and abilities to ensure their own survival.
Most creatures can emit sounds of specific frequencies and use sound waves to navigate and communicate in the fog. Creatures that have not evolved this ability have a highly developed sense of smell and can track smells in the fog. .
Creatures that don't have special skin have special skins that can absorb moisture and nutrients in the fog to survive in extreme environments.
In fact, among these research materials, what interests Chen Lin the most is the exploration of the foggy star ocean by intelligent mechanical equipment.
There are also various strange marine creatures living in the ocean of Kiriyin Star. Because of the special foggy environment of Kiriyin Star, the entire ocean is in an attitude of eternal darkness, so if you want to survive in this special To survive in the dark ocean environment, you must have a unique way of evolution.
For example, the vast majority of marine organisms have luminous organs, which can emit light in the dark deep sea to attract prey or mates. This causes the ocean of Kirigakure to be even larger than that of Earth, Origin Star, The blue starfish is much more magnificent!
It’s just that this magnificence is a bit weird, as the entire ocean turns blue. When the omnic drone first took pictures, the staff even mistakenly thought that something was wrong there.
The food chain in the ocean of the Hidden Star is complex and diverse, ranging from tiny plankton to huge ocean predators. There is a unique cyanobacteria in the ocean that is completely different from the algae on the earth. According to the subsequent Research shows that it can absorb fog components and release some oxygen and other gases, which itself is a part of the unique ecology of the Hidden Star.
"This cyanobacteria...can't be cultivated on a large scale?"
Chen Lin sat alone in front of the computer and muttered to himself. According to the scientific research information displayed on the computer, these gadgets can be absorbed on a large scale. The mist component even causes a layer of "isolation zone" between the entire ocean and the air. This isolation zone is sucked out by this gadget.
He quickly clicked on the detailed introduction interface of this cyanobacteria. It can be seen that the entire Anyun Base's research work on this cyanobacteria has actually started very early. The discovery of this thing on Wuyin Star is actually important. It is no less powerful than when gold veins were discovered on the Origin Star.
This kind of algae can absorb moisture and tiny particles in the fog and convert them into energy and nutrients. The discovery of this kind of algae provides new possibilities for changing the environment of the foggy star.
It is enough that algae can convert the absorbed water and particulate matter into biological energy, and at the same time release oxygen, which helps to improve the air quality of the Hidden Star. After all, according to the understanding of conventional marine algae, Algae organisms generally reproduce very quickly and can grow in large quantities in a short period of time, covering a wide area. Only by relying on this can the ecological environment of a planet be truly transformed.
The current plan of the Institute of Biology is to genetically edit this algae to enhance its ability to absorb fog, improve its transformation efficiency and reproduction speed. Through genetic modification, the algae can survive in various environments on the Hidden Mist Star. Including sea, land and even air.
Of course, it is not that simple to achieve. Studying how to control the growth and distribution of algae is a difficult problem for these researchers. Algae cultivation on the earth itself is quite mature, but the same technology cannot Applying it to Kirigakure Star, things here are new after all.
This thing is named foggy algae. It not only absorbs water and particles, but also releases a special substance that helps dispel the fog and allows the sun to shine on the land again.
Chen Lin stood up. He felt that it was necessary to go to the laboratory to see the situation in person and what stage it was at.
This research has attracted the attention of many people in the Red Dragon Association. Anyun base may not be able to handle it alone, so the outpost and Dalad have sent people to help. The laboratory is currently working As we work on the reproduction of these algae and gene editing, we will probably be very busy.
Under the close attention of the Red Dragon Association, the laboratory at Anyun Base has ushered in an unprecedented busy scene.
Elite teams from the outpost and the Dalad region have arrived, and their arrival has injected new vitality into the research.
A group of scientific researchers are surrounding these algae in the laboratory and are currently conducting intense gene editing projects.
“The reproduction rate of these algae is much faster than we expected. I am afraid that by then we will not stimulate the growth of these algae, but control the growth of these algae.”
a The researcher looked up from the microscope and said worriedly: "The difficulty of gene editing is a bit too high, and our current funds may not be enough."
"The gene editing potential of these algae is huge. If we can successfully unlock their genetic code, it may bring about a revolution in the energy field... However, the priority is to use these algae to change the environment on the Hidden Mist Star. If we can Transforming it into an ecological environment like the Origin Star is a huge achievement for the entire Red Dragon Association."
Everyone was a little excited when they heard this, and they had begun to imagine that these algae transformations had completed the entire fog. What the Hidden Star looks like after that, the Hidden Mist Star currently seems to be about the same size as the Origin Star, or even bigger than the Earth. If the transformation is completed, the Red Dragon Association will once again have a planet - this temptation is No one can refuse it.
The Red Dragon Association is obviously aware of this, and has continuously dispatched various algae cultivation experts to the Anyun base, and the gene editing team has also followed. A large number of strange resources on the Misty Star It was still very new to the Red Dragon Association at this time.
When Chen Lin arrived at the laboratory, everyone felt it was quite abrupt, but they didn't care about anything else at this time. They just asked Chen Lin directly for various resources and equipment, which made Chen Lin Lin was also a little bit dumbfounded.
Is his trip a timely help or the icing on the cake? (End of chapter)
