Knowing this most important plot element, the connection of the entire plot will be easily solved. The reason why the "Destroyer Star" is used to seal the "Gate of Hell" is obviously because the spores of ancient mold will regularly erupt from the Korra borehole and then scatter all over the world. These mold spores that take root on the ground and develop rapidly will trigger rounds of "world-destroying bacterial disasters."
Thinking about it conversely, there is a high probability that only the ancient mold in the "Gate of Hell" has the ability to reproduce uninterruptedly. Those spores that spread to the surface of the earth are likely to lose their ability to reproduce after growing into mold. Just like some social creatures, only the "Queen Ant" and "Queen Bee" have the right to reproduce. It is also similar to the fact that among large mammals, only the strongest males have the right to mate.
Therefore, as long as the "Gate to Hell" is sealed once and for all, this human catastrophe can be completely ended. As for the mold colonies on the ground that have lost the ability to reproduce, just remove them slowly. Perhaps, it is possible.
"Okay, old sir." This conversation gave Wu Chen enough information.
"Young man, be sure to pay attention to the air filter in your car at all times." Seeing the polar storm turning from weak to strong, Dennis Tito gave the final warning before the satellite communication was interrupted.
"Okay, old sir." Wu Chen nodded happily.
Air filter refers to an air filtration device, generally used in clean workshops, clean factories, laboratories and clean rooms, or for dust prevention in electronic machinery and communication equipment. There are primary-efficiency filters, medium-efficiency filters, high-efficiency filters and sub-efficiency filters. Various models have different standards and performance capabilities.
Fungi is a kind of eukaryotic organism that is "eukaryotic", "spore-forming" and "chloroplastless". Including molds, yeasts, mushrooms and other fungi well known to humans. More than 120,000 species of fungi have been discovered. Fungi are separate from animals, plants and other eukaryotes and form a kingdom of their own. Fungal cells contain chitin and can produce spores through asexual and sexual reproduction.
Generally speaking, the size of eukaryotic microorganisms is in the micron range: molds are 2 to 10 microns; fungi are 2 to 30 microns. The largest ones are eukaryotic organisms, which can reach 100 microns. The cell diameter is generally 10 to 100 microns.
For molds of 2 to 10 microns, a "medium-efficiency filter" that can remove dust particles of ≥1.0 microns is enough. Of course, to be on the safe side, use a "sub-high-efficiency filter" that removes dust particles ≥0.5 microns, or a "high-efficiency filter" that removes dust particles ≥0.3 microns, or even a "super-high-efficiency filter" that removes dust particles ≥0.1 microns. The more advanced, the better.
Dennis Tito reminded Wu Chen to always pay attention to the air filter in the car. Apparently, although mold in the earth's environment cannot reproduce, it seems that it can still infect humans.
Wu Chen didn't scan the vehicles in this world, so he didn't know what kind of air filter the people in the "Catastrophe" used, and what kind of air filter element they used. However, as the "T815 Extreme War Truck" has been optimized many times by the "Blending Master", the self-purifying air filter combined with the "Nano Nest" can filter down to the nanometer level. You know, 1 nanometer = 0.001 micron. Molds of 2 to 10 microns cannot penetrate at all. As for the nanosuit mold on everyone's body, it is also impenetrable.
Another more important thing is oxygen.
Wu Chen has asked the beautiful girl warriors to prepare liquid oxygen breathing tanks.
1 liter of liquid oxygen (≈1.143 kg) can produce about 850 liters of gaseous pure oxygen after gasification. 1 cubic meter (1000 liters) of pure oxygen can generally be used for about 11.5 hours to 14 hours under normal atmospheric pressure. It is calculated that 1 liter of liquid oxygen can be inhaled for 12 hours and can be used for 24 days (it is recommended that oxygen inhalation should not exceed half an hour a day).
Moreover, inhaling too much 100% pure oxygen can cause harm to various systems of the human body. Such as lungs, eyes, brain, etc. If the human body inhales too much pure oxygen, it will cause "oxygen poisoning", leading to physiological dysfunction, organ function damage, and even death. Therefore, when using it, pure oxygen must be diluted to about 21% to breathe normally. It is enough for each person to carry a 1-liter liquid oxygen tank. The technology of using nanosuits to filter the air in the environment when breathing is diluted evenly and then filled into the forehead of the helmet is not complicated.
Just imagine, Wu Chen can easily achieve rejuvenation and resurrection. Fighting against the "world-destroying bacterial disaster" is not easy.
Near noon, the "T815 Extreme War Truck" arrived near the target point.
Human remains begin to appear.
Many of these man-made objects obviously related to "space" come from the ISS International Space Station. Scans revealed that there are more man-made objects frozen under the thick ice.
"They said they had found several adventure teams before?" The large-scale scattering of man-made objects made Valkyrie a little unbelievable: "This is too many."
"It's not just the remnants of a few adventure teams. Perhaps during the 'Dispersion Days' at the beginning of the cataclysm, the coalition government that did not escape to space also wanted to close the 'Gates of Hell' more than once. ISS International The survivors of the space station just continued the previous plan after the demise of the coalition government." Wu Chen thought of a possibility: "General mold is afraid of high temperature, dryness, cold and low oxygen environments. It is also difficult to withstand ultraviolet exposure. Maybe in that During the turbulent cataclysm, humans on the earth tried various methods to completely solve the bacterial disaster. The frozen man-made objects in front of us are the relics left by various attempts."
"If all attempts are aimed at the 'Gate of Hell', then your judgment on 'spore dispersion' must be accurate." Valkyrie thought: "Only one 'mother strain' has the ability to release spores. "
"Yes, Megan." Wu Chen nodded slightly: "Try to scan man-made objects to find useful information."
"As you command, my lord." The Valkyrie immediately acted.
The "T815 Extreme War Truck" was driving toward the center while scanning as many man-made objects scattered around as possible. All characters and graphics that can be recognized are accurately recognized.
The fragmented information pieced together bit by bit confirmed Wu Chen's first judgment. Many of these man-made objects come from space. It is the various scientific research instruments launched from the ISS International Space Station to the ground and even the large remains of the "return capsule". As for the astronauts inside, there is no trace left. There is only one identifiable "trace" left behind after being devoured, like a shadow.
The return capsule seemed to be torn in half with bare hands, frozen in a shallow layer a few meters away from the wheels. If the nanocomposite armor is turned on, it is visible to the naked eye through the front windshield.
In other words, at some time very recently, the ISS International Space Station also tried to send personnel to the Kola Deep Hole. As a result, during the course of the plan, he was unfortunately infected and died, and no bones were left.
Mold spores are ubiquitous and will multiply rapidly in the host's body after infection.
As a type of fungus, mold is characterized by a relatively developed mycelium and no large fruiting bodies. Like other fungi, it also has a cell wall and lives in a parasitic or saprophytic manner. Some molds can transform host tissues into toxic substances, and some may produce toxins in the host body, namely mycotoxins. It causes great harm to human health, mainly manifesting as chronic poisoning, carcinogenesis, teratogenesis, and mutagenesis.
Mold reproduces so quickly that the first wave of reproduction can be completed in 7 to 8 hours. In a humid environment, it will double in about 20 minutes.
Within one day at the latest, the infected people can be completely "eaten".
