Chapter 652
In a sturdy glass container, a box of nematodes writhed and wriggled like balls of thread, and the sharp ends of their bodies hit the glass with intensive aggressiveness, with considerable force.
Bai Yang looked at the box of nematodes in a daze.
Zhang Lao's guess is not unreasonable, the activity of substances will increase at high temperature, and this principle is also applicable to living things.
Some animals hibernate in winter to save heat so they can survive. If they are placed on this nematode, the temperature in the depths of the ocean is low, which makes them inert and does not waste energy to reproduce. Therefore, the sea is calm and has not been destroyed. This creature is destroyed.
"Whether this kind of creature will become inert at low temperature can be tested a little..." Bai Yang said after thinking for a moment.
There is no way, this kind of creature is too scary, Bai Yang must understand their characteristics, otherwise he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"This is quite simple." Mr. Zhang also agrees with Bai Yang's point of view. As a biologist, when he encounters an unknown and terrifying creature, it is his duty to understand its characteristics.
If you want to artificially create a low-temperature environment, if you are outside the island, it is very simple, and the refrigerator can handle it, but it is not possible on the island, even if you bring a small refrigerator, you cannot use it.
But this can't help scientists.
Alcohol is available, spray it directly on the surface of the glassware, use the volatile properties of alcohol to take away the heat and lower the temperature, and easily create a low-temperature environment. Although the temperature is not too low, it is enough for observation.
It turned out that Mr. Zhang's guess was right. As the alcohol evaporated and took away the heat, the nematodes in the glassware were not as violent as before.
It can be confirmed that low temperature can make this nematode inert, but this kind of insect has not reached the level of hibernation at low temperature, and still maintains a certain activity.
At low temperature, Mr. Zhang threw another fish into the nematodes. After observation, he said: "They are still laying eggs and multiplying, but not as violently as before. If the temperature drops to a certain level, maybe they will stop breeding. indefinite"
Bai Yang won't answer this point, the temperature is low enough that this thing will die...
"The biological chains in nature are diverse, and they are mutually restrained to achieve balance. The environment is one aspect. This nematode has not ravaged the world, and there may be natural enemies. But, what kind of organisms can restrain this terrible nematode?"
Finally, Bai Yang fell into deep thought again.
Nematodes are already so terrifying that they can penetrate almost 99% of the bodies of living things in the world, so is their natural enemy another terrifying creature?
Don't know, haven't seen it yet.
After staying in this position for nearly two hours, I understood almost everything that should be understood, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
After destroying all the experimental nematodes with flames, Bai Yang approached Su Xishui and asked, "Shall we continue to explore the island or return the same way? If it takes a long time, we won't be able to go back outside today."
Looking up at the sky, Su Xishui thought for a while and said, "I think we should go back and report the situation on the island. Only when we understand the situation on the island can the higher-ups plan the next move."
Bai Yang has no objection, so let's go back. He just warned everyone not to leave a distance of 100 meters from him when walking outside the island. There is no way, he is really afraid of that kind of creature, and he can't protect everyone's safety if he is far away.
There are too many treasures on the island, and everyone will be greedy. Under such circumstances, Su Xishui can restrain himself from sticking to the principles of the soldiers, which has to be said to be commendable.
As for Bai Yang... Standing at his height, the treasures in the eyes of the world are just playthings to him, and they cannot shake his heart.
The way back was far easier and quicker than when they came here. It took them half a day to enter the island, but it took them less than two hours to go out.
Perhaps because of the horror of the nematodes, everyone was a little impatient when they left. Even mountains of gold and silver are not as important as life.
However, when everyone returned to the beach, they were dumbfounded. The faces of dozens of elite soldiers changed drastically, and a group of scientific researchers, especially young people, almost collapsed.
The Zodiac they used to navigate the chaotic waters is gone!
"How did this happen? We're trapped on the island..." A young woman slumped on the ground, trembling with fear and tears streaming down her face.
The island cannot communicate with the outside world. Without a ship, they are trapped on this terrible island!
Su Xishui clenched his fists, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't panic, choose the camping area to camp and rest for the night. As for leaving the island, I will find a way!"
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the night would come soon. At this time, it was not about the disappearance of the assault boat, but how to spend the night was the key.
Although the assault boat was gone, there were still tents in the salute they carried with them. Although there were not many, it was enough to squeeze in.
"I don't want to die, I want to go home..."
"Where did the boat go? Why is it gone?"
The terrified scientific researchers talked in horror, some were crying, some were furious, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
"Shut up, with us here, we won't put you in any danger." Su Xishui, who was brain-swollen from the quarrel, roared angrily.
Facing her cold eyes, a group of scientists shuddered and shut up obediently.
Watching the surroundings, choosing a place to camp, preparing food for the evening, all in an atmosphere of silence.
Under the setting sun, Su Xishui slammed her fist on the rock, the surface of the rock was covered with cracks, and she gritted her teeth.
Taking a strange look at the jade color revealed under the rock she smashed, Bai Yang came to her side and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's careless. I subconsciously think that this is just a deserted island. No one will plot against us. No one was left to guard the ship, so that we were trapped on the island. This is my negligence," Su Xishui said in a deep voice.
Her eyes were as cold as a knife's edge. If she knew who took the boat away, she would probably be tortured and killed a hundred times by her.
"It's not your fault, to be honest, I didn't think of this either, what the hell, who would steal someone else's boat so badly?" Bai Yang said with a speechless expression.
Slightly taken aback, Su Xishui looked at Bai Yang with bright eyes and said, "Can you take us away?"
"Yes," Bai Yang nodded with certainty.
Overjoyed, Su Xishui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great."
"But I won't do that." Shrugging, Bai Yang grinned.
With a stiff expression, Su Xishui asked, "Why?"
"There are so many reasons why, I am not a savior. Although I only did the job of a savior not long ago, it was to catch ducks on the shelves. I am not a superhero whose mission is to save the world. If I encounter difficulties, I will help. Then What else do you need? In the face of difficulties, how can you rely on others? People, you still have to rely on yourself. I am only responsible for everyone’s safety, and I don’t care about the rest. Of course, if there is no other way in the end, I may help... ..."
Interrupting Bai Yang's eloquence, Su Xishui took a deep breath and said, "You don't need your help, it's just a boat, no matter who stole it, just find it and get it back, and kill the person who stole the boat by the way, hehe, if you can't find it Those who steal the ship are not the only ones on the island from our Huaxia people, but those who rob other people!"
"Tsk, this is the Su Xiaoniu I know, domineering," Bai Yang looked at her and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
With a snort, Su Xishui gave Bai Yang a glance, turned around and left, and said, "I'm afraid some people will be uncomfortable this night. There is no fragrant and soft daughter-in-law to sleep with her arms around, it's pitiful..."
Bah, it makes the uncle look like a lecherous villain who can't sleep without a woman...
Night fell as expected, and the night temperature on the isolated island dropped sharply. Although it did not reach zero, it was extremely cold. People were disturbed and filled with fear, and few people could fall asleep.
A group of two-thirds of the people crowded into a dozen single-person tents kept warm, and the silent night looked particularly terrifying, as if a demon would jump out of the dark place and swallow him at any time.
On a big rock with a wide view, Bai Yang sat bored, holding a bottle of peach blossom wine from Taoshan County in another world in one hand, and a delicious big crab in the other hand, not to mention how moist it was.
cluck cluck...
Hearing the sound of teeth grinding, Bai Yang looked down, raised the wine in his hand, looked at Su Xishui below and said, "Hey, Su Xiaoniu, it's been a long night of sleepless sleep, so you can't sleep either."
"Where did you get the wine?" Su Xishui asked through gritted teeth.
What kind of person is this, when everyone is frightened, you are actually enjoying life, it is simply too annoying, it should be destroyed humanely.
"You care about me" rolled his eyes, Bai Yang continued to enjoy the food and wine.
Looking at the big rock that Bai Yang was sitting on, there was nothing to climb around, and it was nearly six meters high. Su Xishui took two steps to run up, jumped up, stepped on the stone with his toes in the middle, and used his strength to get down to Bai Yang He reached out to grab the wine in his hand.
Bai Yang waved his hands away and said, "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to have sex with you, I'm going to find your daughter-in-law, and I'll share the wine." Su Xishui took a sip and persisted in grabbing it.
Bai Yang continued to hide, and said speechlessly, "Su Xiaoniu, you have become dirty."
"It's none of your business? By the way, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you die if you drank a sip of wine?" Su Xishui sat beside Bai Yang and said unhappily if he couldn't grab it.
"You are not my daughter-in-law, so of course it's none of my business... Nuo, drink this, the grass-returning-dan wine you are familiar with, you can't drink the one I drank." Bai Yang shrugged and handed her a bottle The 'Gao Huan Dan' wine sold at home.
What he said was the truth. The peach blossom wine in Taoshan County in the foreign world contained torrential energy, which was far beyond what she could bear. If she ate it, she would probably get nosebleeds like she did back then.
"Stingy" snatched the Cao Huan Dan wine with his hands, and mumbled half a bottle down, Su Xishui muttered.
Ignoring her complaints, Bai Yang drank a mouthful of peach blossom stuffing, breathed out a mouthful of alcohol and asked, "Do you have any clues?"
"Some footprints were found around, only the footprints of coming and not leaving. Our boat should have been driven away. Two guesses, either people who went to the island before secretly stole the boat, or people from other countries stole it. The purpose of leaving the boat is to make it impossible for us to leave," Su Xishui said gloomyly...
