Chapter 64 New Research Directions

According to the study, these insects all breathe aerobic, and the adapted oxygen concentration is about 16%-20%.

This is very good news: It shows that the oxygen content in parallel worlds is similar to that of the Earth!

At present, human technology is not able to create a completely closed large ecosystem. In the original "Biosphere No. 2" experiment, eight people survived for less than two years, and the ecosystem was paralyzed. The closed ecosystem of more than 100,000 people is completely a fantasy with its current technological strength.

But now, after learning about the oxygen concentration in the parallel world, scientists breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could exchange gases with the outside world, the ecology would be much easier to maintain. Many preparations can be given up and turned to other directions.

You can prepare less oxygen tanks, but instead install a large air filter device in the shelter.

Only by preparing the right direction can it be more conducive to the future survival of mankind.

The second batch of cleaned up were all kinds of weird props made of bug derivatives, all kinds of versatile ones. Some looked like decorations and could be worn on hands or necks; some were a large haystack full of centipedes and ants' corpses, which were very disgusting.

There are also some villains who simply tie up straw, but because of the age, the straw has fallen apart. I don’t know what the use of these things is.

One of the descriptions: "We did not check the supernatural powers on these objects. It is not ruled out that these objects have lost their supernatural powers because of their age."

This is quite regrettable.

The third batch of cleaned up were various furniture, pots and pans, and they were just some very ordinary things anyway.

"In these items, the cultural heritage of this civilization can be inferred. We believe that the culture of this ancient civilization may be similar to some areas of the Xia Kingdom."

"But it's just a similar thing...it's still unknown."

The effective information obtained from these materials is less than expected, especially because people have not found a large amount of written materials, which is a bit incredible.

Lu Yiming swallowed.

He clicked on the internal forum of the institute and started to check it out.

Sure enough, many researchers inside were already discussing this matter with great enthusiasm. The debt was too high, and the world became more and more strange. First, a notebook that crossed the parallel world, and an ancient sailboat appeared in the Yang River.

Moreover, these two civilizations are completely different civilizations. The civilization behind the notebook is equivalent to the end of the 20th century for humans on Earth; the civilization represented by ancient sailing ships is completely the technological level of the Ming or Tang dynasties, and can be sunk with a missile.

What exactly is there in Yanghe?

Have all the different civilizations fled?

This is a big problem!

The atmosphere in the forum is much better than the external network. Most of it is high-level intellectuals, and a lot of content is full of practical information, not just talking nonsense there.

"According to scientists' speculation, on the surface, this is a civilization that is good at raising insects... These insects may even be the legendary Gu insects with certain special abilities!"

"Some props have similarities with some witchcraft cultures in Miaojiang, my country. Of course, this is just a speculation. We have applied for animal experiments and don't know if animals will cause changes after eating the corpses of these insects..."

Next is a variety of professional theoretical analysis.

Lu Yiming couldn't understand what these people were saying. Literally, some new protein structures were discovered in the bodies of these bugs, which may affect the normal operation of the human nervous system...

Another biologist commented in the post: "By analyzing the structure of the organism, we are very suspicious that some insects will penetrate into the organism's head, and use these weird proteins to control the organism's brain, forcing the organism to do some specific actions."

"Don't be surprised... There are similar situations in nature. For example, if the iron nematode parasitizes in mantis, it will force the mantis to find water sources and die next to the water sources so that the iron nematode can reproduce."

"The parasites of mice will make them fascinated by the smell of cats, forcing them to run to the cats and let the cats eat them, and then these parasites can parasitize smoothly in the hands of cats."

"We don't understand for the time being what a parasite with superpowers looks like and what effect it will produce... Whether it can parasitic in the human brain and control human thinking is worthy of study and guard against."

Lu Yiming shivered. This is a bit scary.

He clicked on the next post again.

I saw that it was introduced: "Our working group found many new materials on the wooden sailboat, which were mostly sprouting insects and extremely solid. An ancient sailboat was able to last at sea for three hundred years, mostly due to these special silk materials. Otherwise, the wood alone would have rotted completely."

"The strength of this new material is comparable to that of our carbon nanotubes!"

"The most important thing is that there are some new materials that can also drive away shipworms and reduce corrosion."

Shipworms, that is, shellfish creatures that like to attach to the bottom of the ship. If these shells are attached too much, it will easily affect the normal operation of the ship. Wood or metal will soon rot.

This post kept promoting the significance of this new material in a fanatical tone.

The fanatical tone is a bit like Professor Huang’s laboratory.

Of course, it is always good to have a new research direction.

Next post.

"...We found some hieroglyphs carved on the sailboat in a small room. This should be a prison, and some information carved by the desperate prisoner with his nails... but a small amount of blood stains were found here, and some insect corpses."

"The scientific and technological cultures of various civilizations have many differences, but they also have some similarities. At least in a small part, we are sending ancient language experts from the southern Xinjiang to try to decipher these words."

"But the number of these texts is too small, and it is extremely difficult to decipher."

"But it also directly proves that this civilization has language and texts, but what about the text materials on the ship? We have hardly found any books recorded in text on the ship. Because of the lack of information, the value of this spoil has shrunk a lot."

"I have a big question here. There were no traces of serious fighting on ancient sailboats, and there were not many valuable spoils. So why did the indigenous people on the boat disappear?"

This issue is the core of this action.

It involves the important issue of whether the "Yanghe" is safe, and it also affects the future of mankind!

Lu Yiming thought for a while and thought that humans' technological strength was still far stronger than this ancient sailboat, and a missile could sink the sailboat.

However, it is hard to say about the supernatural power level. Humans have too little research on superpowers. The civilization represented by this ancient sailing ship should have mastered a small amount of extraordinary power, including bugs raised in bottles and jars, and may also possess skills such as witchcraft and curses.

"So, who is stronger and who is weak, I think it's better for a fight, we'll be stronger..."

If this ancient civilization could survive in the "Yanghe River", then humans would not have to worry too much. If soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to cover the enemy, there will always be some solutions.
Chapter completed!
