Chapter 862: Cells in Suspended Death
From the perspective of the biological world's contempt chain, single-celled organisms are clearly at the very end of the chain.
In the eyes of the people on Blue Planet, this single-celled organism can be killed by even a sip of salt soda and has absolutely no ability to survive.
However, this creature discovered on Mars will undoubtedly break the human stereotype of single-celled organisms.
If this type of single-celled organism on Mars also exists on the Blue Planet, then they are likely to survive on the Blue Planet for billions of years and will not die in large numbers or even become extinct due to environmental changes on the Blue Planet.
After all, the environment on the Blue Planet is much milder than that on Mars, and is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of life.
Even the five mass extinction events that have occurred in the history of the blue planet are not as harsh as the environment on Mars.
After some research, Xu You felt that there were so many things about this creature that were worth studying and learning.
For a moment, Xu You found it difficult to decide which direction to start his research.
"Let's first determine the conditions for this organism to restore normal cell activity."
This was an experiment that Xu You absolutely could not avoid, so Xu You finally decided to carry out this research first.
Soon, Xu You simulated the relevant conditions in his brain.
This level of simulation is not complicated for Xu You . As long as he has a strong enough level of biology, he can draw accurate conclusions quickly.
"The conditions suitable for the existence of microorganisms are similar to those on the Blue Planet, and the range is wider."
Through brain simulation, Xu You basically confirmed that under the right conditions, this creature has the possibility of reviving.
As long as their cell structure is not substantially damaged, this cell shell structure will be enough to allow them to exist for a long time underground on Mars and will not be easily destroyed by the external environment.
After finishing the brain simulation, Xu You quickly said to everyone:
"I have determined the conditions under which this single-celled organism may wake up. If possible, let's start the experiment as soon as possible."
After hearing Xu You's words, everyone expressed their agreement.
"Okay, Academician Xu, that's no problem, let's get ready to start the experiment now."
The project team has already prepared special experimental boxes. These devices are relatively easy to carry and can also be used to preserve and experiment on Martian soil samples.
While preparing for the experiment, Hu Shucheng whispered to Xu You:
"Old Xu, can this thing really be revived? It won't pose any risks to our bodies, right?"
Hu Shucheng's abilities are mainly demonstrated in the field of aerospace. He doesn't know much about biology, and his knowledge is only at the high school level.
"Well, according to my simulation, this is possible. I haven't found that this creature has the ability to invade large organisms or parasitize large organisms. Judging from the environment on Mars, they probably don't have such ability, but it's always good to take precautions in advance. As long as we seal the experimental box well, they won't be able to harm us."
"That's good, but Xu You, how do these things keep their cell structures intact? They can stay in the underground world of Mars for tens of thousands of years, right?"
In fact, according to Xu You's estimation, the unit of ten thousand years is still a bit conservative, and even a longer time is not impossible.
"From the information we have obtained so far, it is likely to be even longer, because the special structure of this organism allows them to maintain the integrity of their cell structure almost permanently. In this dormant state, they do not consume any energy at all, and do not even need to breathe. It is like pressing the pause button on their own lives."
To a certain extent, this is the same principle as human body freezing technology, but the current human body freezing technology on Blue Star is far from reaching such a high level.
At this time, another team member said to Xu You:
"Academician Xu, you said that outside the cells of this creature, there is a structure that has never been found in the cells of Blue Star creatures?"
"Yes, that's right. This structure is different from the cell membrane and cell wall, and it does not appear when the cell survives normally. However, when the cell senses that the external environment has undergone a major change, or is about to undergo a major change, it will immediately generate this structure on the outer layer of the cell to protect itself from damage due to the external environment..."
While Xu You was explaining, he was drawing the corresponding model directly on his personal computer.
Xu You made the model extremely quickly. In just a few words, he made a relatively complete and very accurate model, which left the other team members stunned.
This is Xu You's powerful control ability over the Martian robot. Even subtle operations like finger movements can be performed very flexibly by Xu You.
After listening to Xu You's explanation, everyone quickly understood what Xu You wanted to express.
"The ability of this creature is really very special. In the records of the biological world of Blue Star, there has never been a similar creature before."
Because the hypothesis made by Xu You is very consistent with the information currently obtained, everyone feels that there is .
After everything was ready, the experiment officially began.
This time, the experimental box set the experimental conditions, including temperature, humidity, pressure, various gas contents, etc.
In fact, according to Xu You's calculations, given the current conditions on Mars, it is completely impossible to revive this kind of creature, and the conditions are even far from those for revival.
Xu You feels that a long time ago, there must have been a period on Mars when the conditions were very suitable, which allowed this kind of creature to be born and survive on Mars for a period of time .
"Academician Xu, look, the data inside these creatures is starting to change!"
Soon after the experiment was carried out, considerable results were achieved.
On the computer screen, you can clearly see the changes in various data within the cells.
When the external environment changes significantly, this creature does feel the changes in the external environment and shows some stress reactions.
This basically proves Xu You's guess that this creature is not really dead, but is in a state of "suspended death"!
At this time, Xu You was also very excited, but this emotion did not pass through Xu You's heart, but was expressed on the Martian robot controlled by Xu You.
