Chapter 863: Cells in Feigned Death

From the perspective of the chain of contempt in the biological world, single-celled organisms are obviously at the extreme end of the chain of contempt in the biological world.

In the eyes of the Blue Star people, this kind of single-celled organism can be killed by even a mouthful of salt soda, and it has no viability at all.

However, this creature discovered on Mars will undoubtedly break the human stereotype of single-celled organisms.

If this kind of single-celled organisms on Mars also exist on the blue star, then they are likely to survive on the blue star for hundreds of millions of years, and will not die in large numbers or even become extinct due to the environmental changes of the blue star.

After all, the environment on the blue star is much milder than that of Mars, which is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of living things.

Even the five mass extinction events that occurred in the history of Blue Star are not as harsh as the environment on Mars.

After some research, Xu You only felt that there are too many things worth studying and learning about this kind of creature.

For a while, Xu You was having a hard time deciding which direction to start researching first.

"Let's first determine the conditions for this organism to restore normal cell activity."

This is an experiment that Xu You absolutely cannot avoid, so Xu You finally decided to carry out this research first.

Soon, Xu You was simulating the relevant conditions in his own 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.

"It is similar to the conditions suitable for the existence of microorganisms on the blue star, and the scope is wider."

Through brain simulation, Xu You basically determined that under the right conditions, this kind of creature has the possibility of recovery.

As long as their cell structure is not substantially damaged, then this cell shell structure is enough for them to exist underground on Mars for a long time, and will not be easily damaged by the external environment.

After finishing the brain simulation, Xu You hurriedly 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."

Hearing Xu You's words, everyone expressed their agreement.

"Okay, Academician Xu, of course this is no problem, then we are ready to start the experiment now."

The project team has prepared special experimental boxes for a long time. These devices are relatively easy to carry, and can also be used for preservation and experiments on Martian soil samples.

In the process of preparing for the experiment, Hu Shucheng asked Xu You in a low voice:

"Old Xu, can this thing really be revived? It won't pose any risk to our bodies, right?"

Hu Shucheng's abilities are mainly displayed in the field of aerospace. He doesn't know much about the field of biology, and he only stays at the level of high school.

"Well, according to my simulation, there is such a possibility. I haven't found that such creatures have the ability to invade or parasitize large creatures. Judging from the environment of Mars, there is a high probability that they will not They have such capabilities, but it is always good to take precautions in advance. As long as we seal the experimental box well, they still have no possibility of causing harm to us."

"That's good, but Xu You, how do these things keep their cell structure undamaged? They stay in the underground world of Mars, maybe in units of ten thousand years?"

In fact, according to Xu You's estimation, Wannian's unit is still a bit conservative, and even a longer period of time is not impossible.

"From the current information, it is likely to take longer, because the special structure of this creature allows them to maintain the integrity of the cell structure almost permanently. In this dormant state, they will not Expend any energy, not even breathing gas. It's like putting your life on hold."

To some extent, this is the same as the human body cryogenic technology, but the current Blue Star's human body cryogenic technology 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 on the cells of Blue Star creatures?"

"Yes, it is. This structure is different from the cell membrane and cell wall, and it does not appear when the cell is alive normally. However, when the cell senses a huge change in the external environment, or is about to experience a huge change When the time comes, they will immediately form this structure on the outer layer of the cell to protect themselves from being damaged by the external environment..."

While Xu You was explaining, he was directly drawing the corresponding model on his personal computer.

Xu You made the model extremely fast. In just a few words, Xu You made a relatively complete and very accurate model, which made the other team members stunned.

This is Xu You's powerful ability to control the Mars robot. Even for subtle operations such as finger movements, Xu You can perform very flexibly.

After listening to Xu You's explanation, everyone quickly understood what Xu You wanted to express.

"The ability of this kind of creature is really very special. In the records of Blue Star's biological world, there has never been a similar creature."

Because the hypothesis made by Xu You fits very well with the information obtained so far, which makes everyone feel that there is indeed a possibility of recovery of this creature.

After everything was ready, the experiment officially started.

This time, the experimental box set the experimental conditions, including temperature, humidity, pressure, various gas contents, and so on.

In fact, according to Xu You's calculations, judging from the current conditions on Mars, it is completely impossible to revive this kind of creature, and it is even far from the recovery conditions.

Xu You felt that a long time ago, there must have been a period of very suitable conditions on Mars, so that this kind of creature could be born and survive on Mars for a period of time.

"Academician Xu, look, the data inside these creatures has begun to change!"

Soon after the experiment was carried out, the experiment achieved considerable results.

On the computer screen, you can clearly see the changes in various data in the cells.

When the external environment changed obviously, this kind of creature did feel the change in the external environment, and some stress responses appeared.

This basically proved Xu You's conjecture that this creature did not really die, but was in a state of "fake death"!

At this time, Xu You was also very excited, but this emotion did not pass through Xu You's heart, and was expressed on the Mars robot controlled by Xu You.
