Chapter 869 The Problem
Just after Xu You adjusted the environmental parameters, the environmental conditions gradually changed.
The speed of change of these environmental parameters is not fast. In fact, Xu You deliberately controls them to make the changes relatively slow.
Only in this way can we better judge when these Martian cells will respond to this stress and generate cell shell structures outside their own cells.
After the environmental parameters continued to change, Xu You indeed discovered that some changes had occurred in these Martian cells.
From the microscope, it can be clearly seen that after the environment began to become unsuitable for biological survival , a solid cell shell structure began to form on the outside of these Martian cells.
This cell shell structure is very strong, which can protect Martian cells from being affected by the external environment and ensure that their cell structure is stable and not destroyed.
After the cell shell structure is completely formed, the entire cell remains in a dormant state and all cell activities cease.
After seeing these experimental phenomena, Xu You couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"Sure enough, everything is exactly as I imagined. The ability of these Martian cells can indeed prevent them from being destroyed by the harsh environment. I just don't know if they will have a chance to revive if they stay on Mars."
According to the exploration results of the Mars exploration team on Mars, these dormant Martian cells are basically buried at least fifty meters deep underground on Mars.
At such a deep location, it is almost impossible for them to recover. Even if the environment recovers to be suitable for biological survival, they will not be able to obtain any gases needed by organisms.
Unless something happens, the soil carrying Martian cells will return to the surface of Mars, and the environment at that location must be suitable enough.
After completing the experiment, Xu You made a brief summary and then contacted the Shenzhou Space Administration as soon as possible.
"This phase of the experiment has been preliminarily completed. According to my experimental results, these Martian cells can indeed generate cell shell structures outside their own cells when they sense changes in the environment. The speed of this behavior of generating cell shell structures is relatively fast. Under a microscope, it can be clearly found..."
While Xu You was giving a general description of the experimental phenomena, he was also passing back the relevant experimental data.
"Okay, Academician Xu, we have received the relevant experimental data."
At this time, the person on the other side paused, and then said:
"I wonder when Academician Xu plans to come back? You have been on missions in low-Earth orbit for a long time. Do you need to come back to adjust your body?"
Speaking of which, although Xu You is very confident in himself, there are still some concerns about Xu You's safety within the company.
It is inevitable that people will feel uneasy to have the greatest scientist on the blue planet stay in low-Earth orbit all the time.
Xu You naturally understood the meaning of the words, but he had no intention of going back immediately.
"Thank you for your concern. However, our aerospace technology is advanced enough now. Being in low-Earth orbit is no different from being at home. My physical condition is very good, and I still have some experiments that I haven't done yet. Instead of going back to adjust, I might as well finish all these experiments as soon as possible before going back. These are all very meaningful things."
Xu You knew that if he went back to Blue Star now and wanted to come into space to conduct experiments again, all the procedures would need to be done again, which would be a troublesome thing in any way.
Seeing Xu You's firm attitude, the people on the other side stopped trying to persuade Xu You.
"Okay, Academician Xu, we got it. If Academician Xu has any requests, we will immediately provide assistance to Academician Xu. Please keep the information open at all times."
At this time, near the aerospace fighter where Xu You was, there were several other aerospace fighters flying alongside, ready to be on standby at any time.
Xu You originally didn't want to go through so much trouble, but the Shenzhou Space Administration insisted on protecting Xu You in this way, so Xu You had to accept this arrangement.
After finishing the report with the Shenzhou Space Administration, Xu You continued with the experiment at hand.
What Xu You needs to do next is to further analyze the mechanism and conditions of the cell shell structure generated by these Martian cells.
The Mars Exploration Team is already responsible for the research project on Martian cell resuscitation, so Xu You does not have to worry about this project for the time being.
Just as Xu You was about to continue the experiment, he suddenly discovered that some of the Martian cells in the control group had undergone some new changes.
The Martian cells in the control group were all in a completely suitable environment, growing and reproducing normally.
However, Xu You keenly discovered that the growth of some of these cells had exceeded the normal level.
"The size of these cells is much larger than normal. According to the cells we found on Mars, they should not grow to such a large size."
Thinking of this, Xu You extracted some larger Martian cells and continued the "pressure experiment".
When the environment became harsh, these cells also quickly produced cell shell structures and entered a dormant state.
However, Xu You discovered a new detail.
"After these cells formed the cell shell structure, their volume actually returned to its normal size... Wait a minute!"
After a brief thought, Xu You quickly figured out the problem.
In fact, Xu You has never been sure how big the volume of these Martian cells is.
All of the cells found on Mars were in a dormant state.
Strictly speaking, this so-called "normal volume" is just the volume of this Martian cell when it is in a dormant state.
As for what state they will be in under normal circumstances, Xu You still doesn't know.
At this time, some new guesses emerged in Xu You's mind.
"If the environment is suitable enough, this Martian creature will grow to a very large size, right?"
In people's impression, single-cell organisms are very small and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
But in fact, some single-cell organisms are not small in size and can even be seen with the naked eye.
For example, the diameter of the single-celled organism amoeba can reach ten centimeters, which is far beyond the average person's cognition.
