Annihilation of the solar system
Chapter 289 Purple Kelp
Although the storage unit retrieved from the Windmill probe withstood the high temperature of re-entry and the overload during hard landing, its design did not include a submersible seal, and the storage unit was severely damaged during the long period of water immersion.
Recovering data takes a long time.
However, other samples retrieved from the swamp to the east soon received test reports, and the combat command center immediately held a response meeting. Although Xia Lan had not fully recovered from the infection, her face turned pale and she was exhausted.
It was like having a bad cold but still attending the meeting.
The molecular biologist placed two transparent glass jars on the table, and he pushed one of the jars containing a purple-red ribbon object forward:
"This is a biological sample collected by Dr. Xia Lan from the submerged area. After biological characteristics and genetic analysis, we can completely confirm that the plants contained here are definitely not from the earth."
Although it was expected, there was still a slight noise in the venue. The molecular biologist picked up the jar:
"The characteristics of this thing are somewhat similar to our algae plant kelp, so let's call it purple kelp. The genetics of this purple kelp are very fragmented, and there are obvious signs of external interference.
But its adaptability is very strong. Generally speaking, algae plants on our planet cannot live without water. But the cell walls of the surface cells of purple kelp are made of very strong fibers. This not only gives it the strength of a steel cable
In addition, it is also helpful for retaining moisture, which allows them to grow even without water as long as they are in a humid environment."
"No wonder it's been raining since we left Sichuan Basin. They want purple kelp to grow all over the world!" Wei Xu said to himself.
Wei Xu's words caught the commander's attention. He pointed at the jar in the molecular biologist's hand and asked:
The first release of this book: Tadu Novel App - free and ad-free, and you can interact with book friends.
"Then what is the function of this purple kelp?"
"Their genetic chain is very short and divides rapidly. This will result in their species and function being single, but their ability to proliferate is very strong. From the analysis of their very simple organelles, their biggest consumer is carbon-based organic matter.
The emissions are mainly gaseous carbon dioxide.
This method of consumption and production is very strange, and they receive almost no energy during the entire process. Most of the energy obtained depends on photosynthesis, which may explain why they appear purple, a color that is conducive to absorbing high-energy green light.
Since the genetic gene chain is very short and fragmented, although they multiply very quickly, they have very few opportunities to evolve. This means that if they leave the environment they adapt to, they will soon die out. From a biological point of view,
Purple kelp is not like a plant we are familiar with, but more like a biological machine for producing carbon dioxide."
The chemist handed over an inspection report:
"The concentration of carbon dioxide in the gas samples collected by Dr. Wei Xu is very high. This also confirms the speculation of molecular biologists on the production of purple kelp."
Xia Lan was startled, and her already pale face turned even paler:
"Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so it's no wonder that the closer we get to the eastern region where purple kelp grows, the hotter the weather becomes."
"The temperature in the eastern region is now as high as 40 degrees, which is still covered with rain clouds and the sun cannot shine directly. If the rain clouds dissipate, the ground temperature may rise to 50 degrees or even higher in a short period of time!" Wei Xu added
.
Everyone was in an uproar, and Xia Lan frowned slightly:
Tadu Novel app has more high-quality free novels, and you can read them online for free without ads!
"This is also in line with our previous speculation that the current environment of the earth may not be suitable for their direct survival. Alien civilization is transforming the earth's environment, which will also make it impossible for us to survive."
The commander's eyes twitched and he clenched his hands into fists:
"Is there a way we can quickly eradicate these purple kelp now?"
Xia Lan sighed softly, and her face turned a little whiter:
"Now most of our cities and industrial systems have been destroyed, and the population has dropped by 4/5. Before the crisis era, our traditional methods were difficult to work on the problem of invasive species. It is difficult to survive now.
Difficult human civilization is even more difficult."
While everyone was whispering and discussing countermeasures, the molecular biologist said:
"Based on the current analysis of the characteristics of purple kelp, traditional methods such as uprooting and poisoning are difficult to work. The distribution range of purple kelp should soon cover half of the continent.
But I found that they are very dependent on light. Although purple kelp is strong, it is soft and can only adhere to the ground. If the sunlight is blocked by tall trees, it will be difficult to grow quickly. This may explain their
The reason why there was a firestorm that burned down all the trees.”
The staff officer's eyes were red and his teeth were chattering:
"A fire storm took away the lives of hundreds of millions of us, unexpectedly"

The commander sighed and lowered his head. Under his dark face, which was covered by the shadow of the brim of his hat, he said a deep voice:
"No one even looked at us from the beginning to the end."
The gloomy atmosphere began to spread throughout the conference room like the cold mist that flowed to the ground when the refrigerator was opened.
"It will definitely be too late to wait for the trees to grow up to block the sun, but we can't wait for the whole world to turn into a steamer." An officer said sadly and indignantly with his eyes red.
The molecular biologist picked up another jar containing a white sample and said:
"There is good news. The sample retrieved by Dr. Xia Lan is indeed very similar to Yuanshan, an ancient fungus that existed 4.5 billion years ago. There were no trees in that era, and the climate was humid and hot. They could grow to more than ten meters.
high.
We have confirmed through experiments that the growth environment of this fungus is similar to that of purple seaweed, and most of the required substances overlap with those of purple seaweed, which means that they will form a competitive relationship.
According to the eyewitness descriptions of Xia Lan and Dr. Wei Xu, the number of naturally growing kelps may not be enough to completely resist the growth of purple kelp, but it provides us with an idea. We can actively cultivate and propagate kelp and let them go.
Although we are not sure how effective it will be to inhibit the rapid proliferation of purple kelp, it can at least buy us some time."
The staff officer took the bottle containing the original shirt sample, looked at it repeatedly, and asked doubtfully:
"4.5 billion years ago? Shouldn't they have been extinct long ago? Why did they suddenly appear on the earth? Is our initiative to breed this kind of primitive clothes also a conspiracy of the enemy? Also, even if this ancient fungus comes from the earth,
Will it pose any threat to humans?"

The molecular biologist looked embarrassed and shook his head slightly:
"Judging from the comparison of genetic information, Yuanshan is indeed very close to the extinct species 4.5 billion years ago. However, we really cannot be sure how they were preserved to the present, let alone whether Yuanshan is an alien.
Another strategy for civilization.”
While everyone was hesitating, Xia Lan said firmly:
"No, I think the original shirt is not their product. And the original shirt will not cause much harm to humans, otherwise I would not be sitting here having a meeting. On the contrary, I think the original shirt is very important to us."
Everyone turned to look at Xia Lan, who had a pale complexion but bright eyes. The commander asked:
"Dr. Xia Lan, tell me your reasons."
