The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 306: , Me, both a virus

   Regarding the white flower bone found in the swamp, Alice certainly did not expect Evan to make any breakthrough discoveries.

   can't be too difficult, after all, isn't it a botanist?

   Moreover, with the current technological means, it is impossible for Yiwen to prove Alice's guess at the time, that is, the flower's ability to capture prey with mental power.

   However, he still reported an unexpected content.

   "Through current experiments, it is known that this unknown plant has a very strong demand for water. In a microscopic state, the rhizome cells that are dissatisfied with thorns like thorns can exponentially increase the rate of water absorption.

As    explained, Yiwen walked into a room. Then, from this room used as a greenhouse, he took out a plant root that was two feet in length.

   Alice said, "Did you cut it from that flower?"

   "Yes, it's a long story, let me briefly prepare first."

   Yiwen prepared the experimental equipment lightly, but the content was simple. Fill a large-capacity measuring cylinder with 100ml of tap water and put it on the empty white long table.

   "The roots can survive on their own even if they are separated from the plant itself, and according to plant slices, it can be proved that when the roots of this flower absorb water, 90% of the water elements are stored in the roots."

   said, he has put the rhizome into the graduated cylinder.

   There is no change.

   Xiqian frowned and walked forward, head leaning forward, staring at the measuring cylinder that was still at the water level.

   Ashley also observed it in the same pose, and the closer her head was, her nose was almost sticking to it.

  Miya: "Ashley, pay attention to nose oil."

   "You have oil on your face! Who doesn't wash your face every day!?"

   Cici: "Idiot Ashley, go up!"

   "I wipe..."

   Seeing the two jokes playing tricks, the others laughed. Alice looked down at the information directly, and Wu Mi asked Ivan: "Professor, it seems that the speed at which the rhizome cells absorb water can really see the visual effect in a short time?"

   "According to the current volume and diameter of the measuring cylinder, it will drop by an inch in ten minutes on average."

Yiwen easily said a very sensational statistic: "Yes, girls, the water level will drop by an inch every ten minutes, and 300 ml of tap water can be completely absorbed within an hour, and this is only a trivial matter. The ability of roots is nothing more than that."

   Alice nodded and said, "Is it the limit?"

   "It's not the limit. After letting a certain rhizome absorb 300ml of water, I prepared the same amount of tap water. Although the speed has dropped, it still only took two hours..."

   "Look, it's down!"

   Cici pointed to the measuring cylinder in surprise and said: "I swear it has definitely dropped!"

   Alice can be seen clearly even if she is far away. The water level that just happened to be stuck on the scale has dropped by three or two millimeters at this time. Counting the time, it seems to be one minute from the time the rhizome was stuffed in.

   "Really eh, eh, did you see Mai Mi? It's down, eh, it's not on the scale anymore!"

   "Ashley, don't put your head on it, bastard!"

   "...Well, then the quality of the rhizome increases."

The two girls were yelling, and Yiwen patiently explained to the other two: "Everyone knows the density of pure water. I have done many grouping experiments. No matter how much water this rhizome absorbs, it does not matter how much water it absorbs. It is stored in its cells...hehe, Alice, what did you guess?"

   "Although this rhizome is two feet in length now, when you first cut it off, it must not have been so long, right?"

   Ashlee and Cici both raised their heads, now it's the time to reveal the secret.

"Yes, this observation experiment has been going on for a whole month. When I cut it out, it was only one foot in length. After absorbing so much water, it is already four feet in length. You see now This one is the result of my truncation of that one."

/>    For a time, four weird eyes all stared at the rhizome in the graduated cylinder.

Alice murmured: "Even desert plants, although they have extremely exaggerated root systems, it is nothing more than extremely drought-tolerant, and it is impossible to have such an exaggerated water absorption rate? What's more, this is clearly a flower. Rhizome, how can desert plants dare to do this?"

  While speaking, the water level has dropped a little bit again.

   Mai Ya raised a question: "Professor, the contact area of ​​this rhizome is very large now, and it is still immersed in pure water. This speed shouldn't be particularly exaggerated, right?"

Ivan shook his head and chuckled: "No exaggeration? Miss Akaman, you have said that this is a pure water environment. This rhizome will unceremoniously absorb three wholes in just one hour. One hundred milliliters of water, what if we plant it in the soil? It will rob the surrounding plants as much as a living environment?"

"Or, have you never raised narcissus? Add 300 ml of water in the first hour, add 300 ml of water in the next two hours, and add 300 ml of water in the fourth to eighth hours. The rhizome length soars by four in a month. Double, from one foot to four feet, when have you ever heard of such a greedy guy?"

   "So from the current situation, it should be an ecological killer."

   Alice gently pushed Ashley away and moved her head to the measuring cylinder. At this time, the water level in the measuring cylinder had dropped by 1.5 inches, and the time before and after it was only about five minutes, and the main body of water absorption was just the roots of a one-foot-long plant in the root zone.

   "But when we found this flower in the swamp, it was a whole swamp, Evan."

Alice is also really puzzled. God knows, her initial curiosity was only about the predation method of this flower. How could it be related to the water absorption ability of the rhizome: "Does this guy still have the ability to feed back? Wrong... "

   Yes, not only Alice, but the other three girls also immediately remembered. According to the old news they heard from the governor of North Carolina, and based on field investigations, it was known that as early as fifteen years ago, this flower should have grown in the middle of a soft swamp that could sink people!

   "It's not right, it's not right."

Alice whispered: "Fifteen years, this is a long time. When I pulled out this **** flower, the rhizome length was not exaggerated to a dozen meters. It's impossible. The water in the entire swamp sucked up and down, and it didn't interfere with normal plant growth. The waist-high grass around this flower is really a backfeeding?"

   There is no doubt that although it is still thousands of miles away from finding out its predation method, after such a period of research, Yiwen really has some wonderful discoveries. Plant rhizome cells, which are like thorns and covered with spikes, absorb water at an almost greedy rate. What practical value can this discovery have?

Finally, she waved a small hand and concluded: "Let’s prioritize. Ivan, I’ll contact my family immediately and promise to send Caesar to Windsor within two weeks, but you will have to take care of the adoption procedures. It's done, is it okay?"

   "Of course there is no problem. But do you have a good name for this virus?"

   Evan smiled and said, "Although I was responsible for the research, it was you who first discovered it in Caesar's lymph fluid. Alice, you have a well-deserved naming right for this virus, don't you?"

   Name the newly discovered virus.

   This is a very glorious thing.

   But it is also very Alexander, very inspirational!

Alice thought about it with a headache, and finally came to the conclusion: "The current role of this virus is to improve immunity, so it is named i-virus... OK? No? Isn't it a bit too casual? You guys. Say it?"

  I-virus (i-virus)?

Cici was the first to say that she was not calm: "i-virus? i, virus? I said my dear, are you reading Asimov's novels, or do you no longer want to be a human?'i, robort' also Forget it, what is'i, virus'!?"

   Ashley is always a fearless world

People, of course you have to yell at this moment: "That's right, what a broken name! You want scientists from all over the world, and virus students to study it, open their mouths and shut up and say that you are Is it a virus? This is too... eh? This is cool!"

   "Ashley? Who are you helping!?"

   "I will help whoever is interesting~www.readwn.com~Oh, it's not good, tell the truth! Oh, help! Cici hit me~"

A certain golden-haired girl ran out of the room in a hurry, and it was fortunate that she didn't touch any experimental equipment along the way, but the Cici who was chasing behind was miserable. An accidental one suddenly came on the smooth marble floor. I fell on the ground!

   "I want to fight outside the house, and Cici, be careful to get out of it."

A glance at someone’s trousers, Alice curled her lips, but fortunately she blocked Ivan Delov’s sight: "In any case, it’s so decided. The name of this virus is i-virus. Mai Mi, Professor , What do you guys think?"

  Mumi shrugged indifferently: "You figure it out."

Yiwen smiled and watched the two girls playing outside. A glass wall in the research room was convenient for him: "I thought you would call it Caesar virus, or orangutan virus. I didn't think about it. After this name?"

Alice waved her hand and said, "It's too narrow and too casual. If this virus can really be applied to the field of clinical drugs, it is a big project that can bring me tens of billions of income, whether it is Caesar or apes. , Doesn’t this cause ambiguity.”

   said, she touched her chin, muttered to herself at a volume that only she could hear.

   "i-virus. Well, the medical field has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, what should I do?" (To be continued.)
