Chapter 871: The Ruler of the Microscopic World
Although Xu You did not go to the Mars exploration project in person, he only participated in it by controlling the Martian robot. However, when facing these Martian creatures on the front line, Xu You was braver than anyone else.
At this moment, everyone suddenly stopped talking to each other.
Because, according to the computer equipment of the aerospace fighter, Xu You has regained control of the Martian robot.
"Old Xu, why are you here again?"
Hearing this news, Hu Shucheng was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked Xu You.
The others also looked very surprised, because at this time, Xu You was the only one who could rescue everyone from the fire and water.
"I believe everyone has heard the latest news. I know that everyone may feel very panicked after hearing this news, but in fact, things are not that bad. The situation that I and the Shenzhou Space Agency talked about is only the worst case scenario. And even if this is the case, I am confident that this Martian biological crisis can be resolved in a short time."
After hearing what Xu You said, everyone felt a lot more at ease and was no longer as panicked as before.
"Old Xu, what's going on here? I heard that these Martian cells can grow to half the height of a human. Is it really that scary?"
Xu You nodded slightly, indicating that the news was indeed not alarmist.
"Yes, according to my simulation, this is the result. Of course, the accuracy of my simulation is not 100%, but since such a result can be simulated, we must pay attention to it."
In fact, in all these years of simulation experiments, the number of experimental errors is very few, because Xu You will only conduct such experiments when he is absolutely sure of the goals of the simulation.
"Hearing what you said, this thing is indeed terrifying. Old Xu, what should we do now?"
Xu You came here specially, of course, not just to calm everyone down.
"Let me take a look at these Martian cells first."
Xu You didn't say much. He came to the experimental area and observed these Martian cells through instruments.
It didn't matter that he looked at it, Xu You's expression also changed.
Judging from the data inside these cells, these cells are now on the verge of awakening.
These Martian cells have existed in this suitable environment for a month. According to Xu You's previous estimation, they are indeed on the verge of awakening.
"These Martian cells should wake up soon. Prepare to record the specific time it takes for these Martian cells to wake up."
The other members of the Mars exploration team, because they do not know the specific parameters of the various states of these Martian cells, naturally cannot predict their recovery time.
"Academician Xu, their cell shell structure hasn't changed at all. Can they really be revived in a short period of time?"
According to normal standards, these cell shell structures should be dissolved little by little, but according to Xu You's research, the actual results are not like this.
Sure enough, not long after Xu You finished saying these words, one of the Martian cells quietly began to dissolve this cell structure.
This phenomenon cannot be detected under the macroscopic level, but it is indeed very obvious under the microscope.
The whole process is just like a chick coming out of an eggshell, and it doesn’t take too much time.
However, after the cell shell structure was broken, these Martian cells did not discard the cell shell materials, but absorbed them completely in a special way.
Seeing this phenomenon, everyone had an incredible expression.
"They... just absorbed the cell shell structure like that? Are they planning to use it again?"
Amidst everyone's surprised looks, Xu You patiently explained:
"In fact, inside the cell, this cell shell structure is very easy to decompose. The cell shell structure is like a hard lock, but these Martian cells have the key to unlock it, and the keyhole is inside the cell shell. And this material that forms the cell shell structure is very precious. Each Martian cell only has a part of it, so they must recover this material."
After a pause, Xu You continued:
"Also, even if they grow to a very large size under very suitable conditions, when they sense that the environment is about to change, they will quickly collapse and restore their size to the normal level of single-celled organisms. Because if the size is too large, this cell shell structure will not be able to cover their cell surface... "
Listening to Xu You's story, everyone's expressions kept changing. It was obvious that they found it hard to believe that such strange creatures could exist on Mars.
At this time, Hu Shucheng asked:
"Old Xu, if these organisms grow to a very large size, when they encounter danger, won't they be able to create cell shell structures in time and be unable to escape the harsh environment in time?"
The question raised by Hu Shucheng is indeed very reasonable, because excessive size and the ability to withstand harsh environments are indeed two inconsistent characteristics.
"Old Hu, the question you raised is exactly what I am going to explain. In fact, due to the conditions on Mars, almost no Martian organisms will grow to a relatively large size. Most of them only maintain a minimum size. When the environment is suitable enough, their population will also limit the growth of each cell individual, and will not allow all individuals to grow to a very large size."
Such a phenomenon existed in Xu You's simulation.
Even if the conditions for cultivating these Martian cells are suitable enough, there will still be a part of the Martian cells that "stubbornly" maintain their original tiny size.
"After thinking about it, I think the reason is to ensure the survival rate of the population, so that the population can continue under any conditions. To some extent, this simple single-celled organism has reached a certain level of intelligence."
According to normal human understanding, the intelligence level of humans on Blue Planet is unique and completely surpasses any other species on Blue Planet.
But if we change our perspective, the humans on Blue Planet are merely ruling the world in their own dimension.
