Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 1860
[Chapter 19]
Tiange Wuxiang Jianqi is a kind of supernatural power developed for “conspiracy”. Although the fluctuation of sword energy is difficult to cover up, the visual “invisibility” adds a bit of confusion to it. It can use the principle of far infrared to far ultraviolet to cut people with invisible sword light.
However, when the Immortal Alliance discovered that there are many species in the world whose visible light frequency bands are completely different from those of the human race, they lowered the evaluation of this spell a lot, and the Anbu Three Divisions strongly do not recommend this spell.
However, at other times, the spell can still be useful.
such as disinfection.
Starship artifacts, including any other biosphere items on the starship, must go through the bombardment of this sword energy when entering another biosphere (including but not limited to the biosphere in the back soil of Shenzhou). Among them, if the starship wants to enter the atmosphere, it needs to be exposed to Phaseless Sword Qi or similar spells for up to five hours.
And now, Song Shufu obviously wants to use this spell to do something.
An invisible sword energy slashed out and swept over the tube of solution.
Then, call it a day.
“Because the most accurate UV meter I can buy, the smallest frequency band that can be distinguished is far inferior to my own control, so I will complete this step by myself and it will be faster.” Song Shufu said: “This is what it is. The most terrifying feature is that it is difficult to kill even with ultraviolet radiation.”
Chen Feng was stunned.
Not because of consternation, but because…
it’s all too familiar.
Citrine plague poison also has strong resistance to ultraviolet rays…
The principle of ultraviolet inactivation is to stimulate free radicals, that is, to transmit energy through light, causing uneven cracking of covalent bonds in living matter, resulting in unproductive group on electrons.
In other words, ultraviolet rays are very damaging to substances with covalent bonds. Covalent bonds such as carbon-hydrogen and carbon-oxygen are the most common types in living beings.
Of course, due to different structures, different essentias also have different resistances to ultraviolet light.
However, the nucleic acid, the substance that burns the blood, is extremely sensitive to ultraviolet rays.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for ultraviolet rays to cause cancer or even cause spiritual mutation.
Tianling Palace thought that the one that really resisted the ultraviolet rays was the Aluer Xianli attached to the Huangjing Plague Poison. But what if this ability comes with the citrine pathogen?
For example, the structure of the essentium shell of living beings is special…
“I have locked the ultraviolet rays in a special band, and this band is more easily absorbed by the blood vessels.” Song Shufu said: “According to common sense, there should be no active pathogens in this one. , but!”
“It can still cause disease.”
Chen Feng was extremely surprised. He almost wanted to shout “impossible”.
And Song Shufu had already gone out to bring real life.
Three tubes of liquid were gently poured into the three sleepy horses.
And Chen Feng felt that his mind seemed to be a mess.
He looked at Song Shufu and said, “Senior Brother Song, this… what do you think?”
“How do you think? How else can you look at it.” Song Shufu shook his head: “Of course, the extremely terrifying pathogens are limited to hard-to-kill and hard-to-kill pathogens. Find it. For monks, it’s basically harmless.”
“I mean…” Chen Feng said, “Have you analyzed why this happened?”
“Well, I have some guesses.” Song Shufu pulled a stool and sat down, then He threw another one to Chen Feng, motioning him to sit down too: “I suspect that I have found a brand new type of pathogen.” The
words trembled. There was an undisguised excitement in his tone.
This is bound to be an achievement in the annals of celebrity history.
Discover a new pathogen type!
It’s like defining “germs” and “viruses”!
Chen Feng nodded. He thought of Huang Jing again.
If UV resistance is an inherent ability of the new pathogen’s inherent structure, then…
“First of all, it is definitely not a parasitic disease, because my spiritual sense cannot find any parasites or parasite eggs.” Song Shu replied: “Perhaps some monster insects can produce eggs that conceal the spiritual consciousness of monks, but that kind of parasite cannot be harmless to monks, let alone, it is difficult for people to infect.”
Chen Feng nodded and said yes.
“Then, it can’t be a plague in the general sense, because the plague can’t produce enzymes, and it can’t complete most of the physiological activities necessary for survival. It must be parasitic in the living body to survive.” Song Shufu stretched out his finger , flicked the specimen jar just taken out: “And this piece of rotten meat, it is impossible to have Mars even a living cell. Therefore, it must have an independent enzyme system that can complete physiological activities.
” It is a dormant state, and living creatures will change slowly, otherwise, it will be dead.
“But at the same time, it can’t be a plague. Because the plague can’t resist the ultraviolet rays just now.” Song Shufu then asserted: “Unless there are any special organelles that can make blood vessels as large as [chromosomes]. The structure must be wrapped, and it must be thick enough. Otherwise, as long as there is a little gap, the ultraviolet rays can penetrate directly.”
“It is even impossible to say that some endospores of certain blast fungi are impossible.”
Endospores, also known as spores , is a dormant body formed spontaneously inside the cell by some bacteria under harsh conditions. Spores have lower water content than the cells themselves, and have thicker, denser cell membranes.
“However, the plague can’t spontaneously complete any physiological activities, and the plague is too large to protect itself, so this pathogen must be smaller than the plague, but greater than the plague. At the same time, its outer layer has The thicker essentium shell is resistant to ultraviolet light.”
Chen Feng pondered: “You mean… Li Ci [Rickettsia. According to a certain correspondence method, in this world, it was discovered and named by a person surnamed Li] or Chlamydia? No, these two The pathogen is only smaller than the plague bacteria but greater than the plague virus, but it is not enough to resist ultraviolet rays.”
Litella and chlamydia are both new fields that have only been developed in the last few hundred years. However, in these two fields, there are not as many research objects as plague bacteria and plague poisons. Among them, Li Citi was named in recognition of the sacrifice of a monk named Li, the god of plague, in the research process.
Neither pathogen has all the attributes of a “bacteria”. They have complete and independent cell membranes, independent enzyme systems, and independent genetic material, but only lack the enzymes for synthesizing high-energy substances. This makes them parasitic inside the cell to reproduce. But in contrast, if the high-energy substances obtained are scarce, they may also be dormant, but they are only more resistant than viruses.
Definitely not to the point where “cutting a piece from a specimen is still pathogenic”.
Song Shufu grabbed the conversation: “So, a new type! A new type! Absolutely, definitely an unknown type!”
“Smaller than the plague fungus, bigger than the plague poison…?” Chen Feng repeated this sentence, and then asked: ” Brother, can you use a filter or filter to verify the size of this plague?”
Song Shufu’s face sank, and he said, “Hmph… I have used it, but I can’t get a finer filter, so I can only prove… After all the cells have been filtered, the pathogen of the corpse-refining horse plague can still exist in the solution.”
Chen Feng was stunned.
The senior brother who fainted in Tianling Palace not long ago is indeed an extraordinary person.
The method of constantly approximating the volume boundary of a very small object by constantly adjusting the density of the filter screen, although the students of the Immortal Academy can also think of it, but the general cultivator really can’t use it. How many filters with different rules does this require? How much work would it take if all of these were to be customized?
Not to mention, extremely fine filters or membranes are already very expensive.
For a monk like Song Shufu, who was limited everywhere, using a filter to determine the upper bound of the volume of the corpse-refining horse plague pathogen was already the limit.
Cultivation and funding limit a monk’s research ability at the same time.
Thinking of this, another data surfaced in front of Chen Feng again.
Citrine pathogen minimum cross-sectional diameter, ten nanometers.
Ten nanometers, this is far smaller than the general plague, and it is impossible to be a pathogen that is “greater than the plague and smaller than the plague”.
Do corpse refining horse plague and topaz really have similar structures?
Or…
Song Shufu continued: “A few years ago, because of the unexpected resistance of the corpse-refining horse plague protective layer to ultraviolet rays, I applied for a fund from the Guanghua Hall of the Guiyi League, but the Guanghua Hall was not responsible for this. Not much interest. For them, there are as many spells as they need to resist harmful electromagnetic radiation. If it weren’t for the possibility of this plague extracting an unprecedented structure and containing unknown principles, maybe I wouldn’t even be able to get that funding. It is precisely because of this application that I got a batch of better instruments from Guanghua Hall, and Tiangexing was also trained by asking the monks over there.”
“Unfortunately, there was no research until the funds were spent. The results have been achieved, so there is no additional funding for the Guanghua Palace.”
Song Shufu’s tone was full of regrets.
No wonder. No matter how rich the resources controlled by the Chinese people are, the total amount is limited. It must only be possible to increase investment in key areas.
And the “possible” offered by Song Shufu was not worth the investment for Guanghua Palace, and it was already the limit to get a sum of money.
But…
is that really the case?
Citrine pathogen minimum cross-sectional diameter, ten nanometers.
At such a small scale, is it really possible to form a structure that is strong enough to resist ultraviolet rays?
Or, Huang Jingwen Huang, and corpse refining horse plague, are not the same existence at all?
Chen Feng said: “Senior Brother Song, is there any public evidence record?”
“Well, yes there is.” Song Shufu stared at Chen Feng and said, “But then again, how much funding does your project have? I know. , Secret-related projects are generally … rich, right?”
