Survival At Sea: Starting From The Back Of A Whale

The sea is rippling, and the big black fish has lost its trace.

The extremely cold ice seed blades in Su Yu's palm trembled, giving off a dazzling stream of light.

Turning his head, Su Yu seemed to be listening.

"No, it's not the time yet, you are still vulnerable."

Hearing this, the symbiote in Su Yu's hand no longer trembles, and his calm is restored.

T800 glanced at Su Yu's hand, and bowed slightly to him, "Master, I'll take care of the follow-up."

"good."

Su Yu nodded, turned and walked towards the attic.

I haven't slept all night, and I need to refresh myself.

...

6 hours ago……

Mechanical workshop, late at night...

Su Yu Lotus Position sat in the glass room, closed his eyes and entered Meditation.

But with so many thoughts in own mind, he couldn't enter deep Meditation at all.

His eyes opened suddenly, and Su Yu pushed open the glass door and walked out.

At this time, in the huge space, there were several huge airtight boxes suspended, and inside were all sea beasts used for experiments.

Some were not parasitized, some served as a control group, and some failed to parasitize.

"T800, I also participate in the experiment."

Su Yu changed into his protective clothing and stood aside.

"Okay master, the electric shock test is now going on."

A light curtain in front of T800 zoomed in to show the spore ice flower in the water.

Zi Zi Zi-

A ray of electric light shot out from the top of the robotic arm and disappeared into the water.

On the light curtain, the densely packed spore ice flowers did not move at all.

Didi——

On the other section of the instrument, the degree of electricity in the water is displayed.

"Almost immune to electric current, their shell has a special layer of material, which is quite insulating."

T800 was operating the instrument while reporting to Su Yu.

"Master, a series of experiments such as fire, pressurization, and corrosion have just been carried out."

"They are tenacious, strong pressure, strong acid and strong alkali can not destroy them."

"But they are very sensitive to temperature."

"Thanks to the special climate here, the sea temperature has reached below zero."

"At minus 15 degrees Celsius, they are dormant."

"Once this temperature is exceeded, they will immediately hatch."

T800 transmitted instructions to the console, and the water in the water tank began to slowly heat up.

On the scale on one side, the water temperature gradually ascending from minus 20 degrees to minus 14 degrees.

The image on the light curtain immediately moved, and signs of activity began to appear inside the spores above.

Strands of white silk threads stick out from inside, like larvae of shrimps.

They floated with the current and gradually spread to the entire tank.

"Next I will raise the temperature again until it is above 0 degrees."

At the bottom of the water tank, a series of small bubbles began to form, and the temperature was obviously ascending.

The spores in the water began to change in appearance, and the strands of silk thread retracted into the shell and returned to the state before hatching.

Quietness is restored in the water tank.

"This is?"

Su Yu frowned, and gradually discovered something.

In my mind, a series of factors are connected with the extreme cold sea, temperature, fire and heat preservation.

"Now it is obvious to draw a little conclusion."

"The spore ice flower is immobile at temperatures above zero, that is, it cannot be parasitic."

"In other words, as long as they have heat, they can't multiply at will!"

"And one of the elements to survive in the extremely cold sea is to maintain the temperature."

Su Yu let out a sigh of relief, and an imminent crisis was resolved.

Subsequently, Su Yu remembered the law of the reverse problem.

If the spore ice flower wants to thrive under the condition of temperature, what kind of conditions need to be met?

temperature!

Only lower the temperature!

Su Yu recalled the situation where the spores had just been discovered, the derivatives all over the ground, and the creatures in the ice.

Is it possible that those derivatives are their means to lower the temperature?

It releases heat, condenses into a blossoming ice and snow plant, and then creates conditions suitable for its growth in the host's body.A word appeared in front of Su Yu.

Just like the Cordyceps and parasitic wasps in the last world, they will have a certain degree of parasitic performance after being parasitized!

Then this parasitic manifestation appears in this world!

That is-low temperature performance! !

Su Yu yelled, and pointed his arm to the airtight box.

"T800, move the sea beast that has been parasitized!"

Immediately, a sealed box appeared, and Su Yu walked to the front to observe.

This is a C-rank sea beast, seven-gill fish.

Su Yu stared at the surface of the sea beast, scanning inch by inch.

There is a discovery!

Along its scales, Su Yu saw a block of translucent objects, these translucent objects were tightly fastened to the surface of the scales, and they couldn't be found if they didn't look closely.

"pick up."

Su Yu raised his hand and gave orders to the robotic arm.

"Analyze the ingredients!"

"Analyzing... Ingredient: ice."

Su Yu clapped his palm fiercely, own inference is correct!

For organisms parasitized by spore ice flowers, the low temperature performance is the appearance of ice crystals on the body surface.

In this way, the temperature of the parasitic part is reduced, and the whole organism is eroded a little bit.

In this way, the most intuitive way to distinguish parasitic creatures or survivors is to observe their bodies to see if traces of frost can be found!

But on the other hand, if you want to suppress parasitic, then increase the temperature?

"Increase the temperature in the water tank."

Su Yu said, "Monitor biological physiological performance."

Dididi——

The temperature of the water in the sealed box gradually increased, and the sevengills began to show unsuitability.

Restlessness, tumbling, hitting glass, twitching...

At the same time, its scales detached one by one, and blood stains spread in the sealed box.

"Already showed serious physical resistance."

"While parasitism, it also changes the physiological habits of the host."

Su Yu also thought of another example. Insects such as praying mantises parasitized by iron nematodes often act against biological instincts and commit suicide by throwing water into them.

Everything is for oneself to pass the early stage steadily.

In this way, a series of heating behaviors such as lighting a fire will be disgusted by the host.

If you want to keep the body's temperature loss, you can only eat a lot of high-heat food.

In the extremely cold sea, the most indispensable is high-calorie food.

Among them, the meat of sea beasts contains the most calories!

...

Rustle--

Su Yu kept writing on the notebook with a pen.

The preliminary secret of Spore Binghua has been revealed.

In the early stage, they will change the host's internal environment, the most obvious is the appearance of icing.

At the same time, it shows resistance to high temperatures such as flames.

The host will increase energy intake, and sea beasts are the best source of energy.

This can also explain why the thorny turtle in the early stage would devour the two failed items.

At this point, Su Yu's hand stopped.

"Spore Binghua's solution:..."

Looking at the writing in the notebook, Su Yu's pen shook, not knowing how to write.

There is also a solution for the extremely cold ice seed.

Scratching his hair, Su Yu lost his thoughts for a while.

Is own too anxious, thinking about solving this problem overnight.

【Ding! Do you want to start today's check-in? 】

A reminder sounded in Su Yu's ear.

Um? For a while, Su Yu looked up and looked around, the lights were brightly lit.

"Call up the time." Su Yu clicked on the display next to it.

Time: 6:01.

It's already a new day.

Su Yu shrugged, and time passed without knowing it.

"Sign in."

Su Yu readily agreed.

【Ding! Start signing in! 】
