I Am the Swarm

Although the start was crazy, the next experiment was not so smooth.

After that, Rowan first tested his ability to survive in the cold environment.

He already has cold resistance genes in his body, which can easily resist ordinary cold environments. But the low temperature in outer space and the coldness on the planet are not the same concept. At the beginning, Luo Wen only vaguely remembered more than two hundred degrees below zero, but he couldn't remember the exact number.

The Ratman is limited to industrial manufacturing capabilities, and the laboratory can only simulate an environment around minus 150 degrees at most.

But that alone caused Rowan to suffer a huge setback. Soon after entering the simulated environment, his body began to lose a lot of heat, the surface of his body began to form frost, and then his body fluids began to freeze.

At this time, the emergency device in the body starts to activate, enters dormancy protection, the metabolism begins to drop rapidly, the flow of body fluids almost stagnates, and the body begins to paralyze.

If Luo Wen hadn't become a "networker", maybe his consciousness would be forced to shut down and enter a dormant state.

But hibernation cannot prevent the damage of low temperature to the body. Five minutes later, Rowan's body began to be destroyed at the cellular level. If in the past, Rowan, who was forced to go offline by hibernation, could only die in a painless sleep.

But now, he was able to notify the "self" outside the experimental cabin in time to stop the experiment and take out his body.

Afterwards, it took three days for the main body to be cocooned and repaired before the damage suffered in the experiment was repaired. And this made those "half of us" shout inconceivable.

During the time when the main body was being repaired, Rowan thought carefully. He felt that he was subjected to an anaerobic experiment and his mentality was inflated. No matter how powerful his talent is, it still needs a period of evolution.

But if he was rashly placed in an environment beyond his ability to bear, his body would collapse before his talent could take effect.

In layman's terms, it means taking too big a step.

After learning the lessons learned this time, during the second experiment, the temperature of the experimental cabin was adjusted to between minus 50 and 60 degrees.

Filling the tail fat organ with energy, Rowan climbed into the experimental cabin. In the natural environment before, the lowest temperature he experienced should be twenty or thirty degrees below zero. This time I lowered the temperature by 30 degrees. Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, I can bear it.

The hibernation gene in his body kept trying to force him offline. Luo Wen moved a little bit, feeling the gradually paralyzed limbs, and did not resist much, entering a dormant state.

The body gradually cocooned, and the consciousness returned to the swarm network.

Two days later, the main body broke out of the cocoon.

Then the third experiment started, this time after entering the experimental cabin, Rowan's dormancy system did not alarm again. He has fused several genes this time, but he can't remember which ones he came from. After all, he has collected too many genes over the years.

The fusion of these several genes is prompting Rowan's body to secrete an oily substance at this time. This oily substance blended into the body fluid, lowering the freezing point of Rowan's body fluid, and as it continued to be secreted, the concentration in the body fluid continued to rise, and the freezing point of the body fluid also dropped further.

Last time in this environment, his body fluids would start to crystallize, but this time under the action of oily substances, this did not happen. The normal flowing body fluids supported his body to function normally.

After several experiments, the temperature of the experimental cabin continued to be lowered, and the concentration of oily substances in Rowan's body also continued to increase. After minus one hundred degrees, this oily substance couldn't hold on any longer and began to crystallize.

As the temperature continued to drop, Rowan's hibernation system started to alarm again and forced him to log off. The temperature continued to drop, and the main body finally entered a dormant state, but it did not cocoon.

There is no gene in the gene pool in his body that can resist this low temperature. However, as the temperature continued to drop, his body was not damaged.

This is his innate ability to continue to evolve dormancy skills. With the evolution, the cells in his body began to shrink, and unnecessary substances were expelled from the cell wall.

When the temperature dropped to the limit of the Ratman's technology, 90% of the contents of his cells had been expelled, leaving only the core.

The expelled material ice crystallizes outside the cell wall, wrapping the cell, but also playing a certain protective role.

At this time, his consciousness forcibly returned to his body, but because the body fluids in his body had stagnated and stopped functioning, he couldn't drive his body in this situation at all.

Under his notice, the experimental cabin stopped supplying energy, and the temperature inside gradually rose. The ice crystals outside the cells of the body gradually melted and were reabsorbed by the cells, and the cells began to recover their activity.

After the temperature rose to 100 degrees below zero, oily substances began to be secreted, body fluids flowed again, and his body gradually returned to normal.

After the inspection, this low temperature experiment, his body did not suffer any damage. But this did not make him happy. After the temperature dropped to minus one hundred degrees, he lost the ability to move.

He didn't go to outer space to sleep, and this kind of result couldn't meet his requirements at all.

The oily substance itself has shackles, and this road has no potential to continue to evolve. He must find another way to find a new way to fight against the low temperature environment.

But he doesn't need to fight the low temperature to the end now, let's put this project aside first. While letting the Ratman continue to improve the performance of the experimental cabin, he will also send a large number of bugs to search for the poles of the planet. Maybe there are some rare creatures in some corners that can survive in extremely low temperatures and move freely. .

After a few days of delay, Rowan began to conduct space radiation adaptation experiments.

Although it is talking about simulating space radiation, the specific radiation in space is beyond the scope of Rowan's knowledge reserve. The Ratmen have not yet flown out of the atmosphere, and cannot detect them.

This makes the radiation sources of this experiment mostly some ores or by-products of other experiments. The radiation in space is definitely not these, he just wants to use these radiations to find a way to fight.

In fact, all objects in nature, as long as the temperature is above absolute zero, will release radiation to the surroundings in the form of electromagnetic waves and particles.

What Rowan needs to protect is those radiation values, harmful radiation exceeding a certain standard. These radiations will cause the body to decay and cause lesions in the nervous system and other organ systems.

In the first experiment, after one hour of continuous exposure to harmful radiation, the Rowan body began to cocoon. But this cocoon skin protection can't stop the penetration of radiation at all.

As time went on, under the irradiation of radiation, the temperature in the cocoon became higher and higher. After more than twenty hours, the cells of Rowan's body began to suffer irreversible damage.
