Chapter 477 Cesium Chloride and Rubidium Chloride

Lu Yongchang's words made Mao Zhengzhi's expression change slightly.

"You mean..."

"Trapping this unknown creature?"

Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and glanced at the behemoth in the simulated image, took a breath and shook his head repeatedly: "No, this won't work!"

"It's too difficult."

"Not to mention whether the [Poseidon] exploration ship can withstand its repeated slapping, even attracting its attention for a long time is an extremely difficult task."

"What's more, [Poseidon] is not equipped with a weapon system, so it is impossible to cause harm to it."

Mao Zhengzhi thought for a moment, waved his hands and said: "Professor, with all due respect, this is an almost impossible task."

Lu Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi in astonishment.

"Ahem...I think you may have misunderstood me."

"I mean, is there any way to divert its attention elsewhere?"

"Then, let [Poseidon] take a closer look at its body."

Mao Zhengzhi: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Should you divert its attention...let me think about it."



While the two were discussing, the huge deep-sea behemoth had not yet let go of its strong curiosity.

The [Poseidon] exploration ship, under its constant attacks, has deviated significantly from its original route.

From the sonar receiving device, ultrasonic waves are continuously transmitted one after another.

Obviously, after finding a new toy, he fell into a state of excitement.

This is a hardship for the two pilots of the [exploration ship].

Although in the design, in order to protect the safety of the driver, the [Poseidon] exploration ship has added a lot of anti-bumping and anti-shock facilities.

But the original intention of this design was to withstand the strong storm inside the ice giant, not to serve as a toy ball for a two-hundred-meter-long monster!

"Teach, professor..."

Hansent resisted the nausea coming from his abdomen and said with difficulty: "Ugh... Is there any way... ugh... to make it stop?"

After hearing Hansent's retching sound, Hope, without saying a word, took advantage of the giant beast's distance to reach out and take off the helmet attached to the wall, and then neatly buckled it on the wall.

on Hansent's head.

Hansent's face turned green after reacting.

Looking at the transparent mask in front of him, he resisted his extremely strong desire to vomit.

Looking at the resentful looks cast by his teammates, Hope shrugged helplessly.

"I have no choice but to do this. You don't want the cockpit to be polluted, right?"

Finally, he added another blow: "Be patient, it seems we only brought two helmets."

Hansent's face turned even greener after hearing this.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

After two more rounds of impact, Academician Mao Zhengzhi's voice "like celestial music" came out from the loudspeaker.

"There is a way!"

At this moment, both Hansent and Hope's eyes were shining with light!

In their hearts, at this moment, Academician Mao Zhengzhi is their god!

“Try cesium chloride and rubidium chloride!”

Mao Zhengzhi said urgently: "Earth organisms rely on potassium and sodium salts to adjust the electrical potential of cell membranes."

"But amino organisms are different." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"In liquid ammonia, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride have better solubility than potassium salt and sodium salt."

"Also, under normal circumstances, the abundance of cesium and rubidium is definitely not as abundant as potassium and sodium."

"So, in their world, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride are probably extremely scarce resources."

As he spoke, Mao Zhengzhi frowned and thought carefully, trying to come up with an appropriate analogy.

"It's like..."

"It's like an extremely rare but indispensable seasoning!"

"Ugh!" Under the influence of Hansent, Hope couldn't help but retched, "Academician Mao, let's get to the point, vomit... let's get to the point!!"

"Cesium chloride and rubidium chloride, are they on the exploration ship?!"

Mao Zhengzhi turned to look at Lu Yongchang beside him.

"Yes!" Lu Yongchang's expression perked up and he immediately said, "There are some reserves in the exploration ship's laboratory. The quantity is not large, but it should be enough."



Under Lu Yongchang's order, Zero controlled a robot to take out a portion of cesium chloride and rubidium chloride from the laboratory.

Because he didn't know the "taste" of this deep-sea behemoth, Lu Yongchang specially asked Zero to take out the same amount of two substances.

Then, taking advantage of the free time when the deep-sea behemoth was "playing", the robot quickly placed it in two high-strength sealed containers.

This container made of the same material as the shell of [Poseidon] can easily withstand the terrifying pressure from the outside world.

As for the way to open the container, the natural choice is remote control.

After all preparations were completed, the moment the deep-sea monster moved away, the side hatch of the exploration ship quickly opened, and the manipulator forcefully threw the two sealed containers into the distance.

Subsequently, the manipulator retracted into the cabin and the hatch was quickly closed, preparing for the next collision.

The thrown sealed container did not attract the attention of the deep sea monster.

Perhaps, in its view, the two sealed containers were too small and not worth paying any more attention to.

"Bang!"

As the sound of impact sounded, there was another round of spinning.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yongchang, who was in the command center, stared at a line of data displayed on the holographic projection - that was the distance between the "bait" and the exploration ship.

In order to ensure that there is enough time to observe this deep-sea behemoth, Lu Yongchang needs to ensure that the "bait" is in an appropriate position.

First of all, the distance between it and the exploration ship cannot be too far.

Even if cesium chloride and rubidium chloride are extremely precious resources for these amino life forms, they may not be able to sense their existence because they are too far apart.

Secondly, it cannot be too close.

Once the distance is too close, the time Hope and Hansent have to explore and escape will be greatly shortened.

Therefore, controlling distance is particularly important.

Especially in the absence of detailed data, the difficulty of this operation quickly increases.

Seeing the depth of the sealed container increase rapidly, Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Open the container."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two sealed containers popped open the "hatch" under Zero's control.

The cesium chloride and rubidium chloride powders quickly dissolve in the surrounding liquid ammonia seawater.

In the distance, the giant beast of the deep sea was still flapping its tail and body excitedly, hitting the [Poseidon] exploration ship, seemingly unaware of the movement in the distance.

Failed?

"Wait a little longer."

Mao Zhengzhi's voice came from the side.

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, just held his breath and turned his gaze to the holographic projection.

So far, there is no evidence that amino organisms use cesium chloride or rubidium chloride to regulate cell membrane potential. Everything is just conjecture.

Even, neither of them is sure whether such a life has the so-called cellular structure!
