After searching through the 279 Nuclear War Tanks and Doomsday Fortress Chariots, the drone swarm finally discovered traces of biological tissue.
The bottom exit of the fortress tank closest to the ground was breached by an unknown explosive. The sharp edges of the ugly huge gap, as if disemboweled, left unknown biological genetic tissue. And just by being exposed to the lighting of the drone, these mycelium-like biological tissues "exploded" one after another. The tentacles, which can only be seen under a microscope, are stretched in the direction of the light source and release a weak electric current.
"How is that possible?" The Valkyrie frowned secretly as she witnessed the "conductive tentacles" through the display screen in front of her.
"This is the 'microbial conductive nanowire'." Wu Chen said softly.
Microbial Conductive Nanowires (abbreviated as 'MCN') are simply the conductive tentacles of microorganisms. It is also a living "wire".
As early as 1910, British botanists discovered that certain microbial culture fluids could generate electricity and created the world's first microbial battery. Today, hundreds of microorganisms related to electricity have been discovered in the real world, and these microorganisms are named electrochemically active microorganisms (Electrochemically Active Bacteria, abbreviated as 'EAB'). Not only that, scientists have also discovered microbial nanowires in some electrochemically active microorganisms, which can help microorganisms transfer electrons over long distances. Through research, it has been found that conductive nanowires have two main functions: participating in the physiological metabolism of microorganisms and mediating the symbiotic relationship between microorganisms.
Participate in the physiological metabolism of microorganisms: For example, the conductive nanowires of Geobacter sulfurreducens can transfer electrons in the cell to insoluble iron-containing minerals far away from it, reduce ferric iron, thereby completing the respiration process and storing it. Energy required for life activities, this process is also called "Fe(Ⅲ) respiration".
Mediate symbiotic relationships between microorganisms: Conductive nanowires can help microorganisms transfer electrons to other adjacent microorganisms. For example, Geobacter metalreducens can transfer the electrons generated by its own oxidation of ethanol to Geobacter sulfurreducens through conductive nanowires. Geobacter sulfurreducens uses the obtained electrons to reduce fumaric acid, thereby achieving symbiosis between the two microorganisms in an environment rich in ethanol and fumaric acid. For another example, Geobacter metalreducens can also transfer the electrons generated by oxidizing ethanol to Methanarchaea through conductive nanowires, and Methanarchaea uses the obtained electrons to reduce carbon dioxide to methane, thereby achieving symbiosis between the two microorganisms.
Microbial nanowires adhere to the surface of microorganisms such as bacteria and look like a flowing "hair" of microorganisms. The discovery of microbial nanowires is considered a milestone in the field of bacterial power generation in more than a hundred years, and has promoted the formation and development of electromicrobiology. With the help of microbial nanowires, electrons generated by intracellular metabolism of microorganisms can be transported to extracellular receptors or other microorganisms over long distances, changing the understanding that the electron transport chain is only limited to the intracellular compartment. With the deepening of research, scientists have discovered that microbial nanowires have high conductivity and stability, and have huge application potential in the fields of new bioenergy, biomaterials, and environmental remediation.
For example, "Air-gen" can generate electricity by simply using bacterial "hair" to extract electrons from water molecules in the air. Compared with other power generation methods, "air generators" are not subject to environmental constraints and can work in almost any environment on earth.
After using the shortest time to supplement the necessary scientific knowledge to the wasteland female warriors, Wu Chen finally got to the point: "In other words, as mycelium's MCN conductive nanowires, these tentacles can help each other' conduct long-distance communication. 'Electron transfer' and thereby 'achieve symbiosis'. This is obviously a transfer of energy or information."
"What other magic do we not know about these bacteria that are so small that they cannot be seen?" Ferossa, who was concentrating on driving, sighed.
"They used 'long-distance electron transfer' to cross the thick ice and escape to the Cora Deep Hole underground." Wu Chen gave a more terrifying answer: "You can understand it as... time and space travel."
"My lord, you are saying that they transported their bodies and wills across time and space into the gate of hell." Valkyrie expressed her understanding with a surprised look on her face.
"There is doubt whether the materialized body can be transmitted. But the brain waves should be absolutely fine." Wu Chen gave his own judgment. The technical basis behind it is: photoelectric transmission. A technology that transmits information through optical signals. It uses the characteristics of light for data transmission, converts optical signals into electrical signals, and then converts electrical signals into optical signals to achieve information transmission.
If these molds, which are microorganisms, can reduce their "body" to an "electron", or perform "light (quantum) gridding" to transform themselves into a "(light) quantum state", physical teleportation can be realized.
Valkyrie let out a long breath: "Look, how the earth has become inwardly rolled."
He does not mean that. Wu Chen nodded happily: "It is indeed too much involution."
Christina Koch, the "raiser" who manages the "Extended Locomotive Room", immediately asked: "Sir, does this 279 nuclear battle tank doomsday fortress need to be repaired?"
"Well, it not only needs to be repaired, but also transformed into a self-propelled turret." Wu Chen said with a smile: "Considering the upcoming adventure of going deep into the 'Gate of Hell', it is best to have a pioneer."
"Understood, my lord." The beautiful female warrior mothers said in unison.
"Judge" Antoinette Klermann gave new advice: "My lord, sisters, it's best not to wait around."
"Can the Volvalini transforming locomotive withstand the severe cold of minus 110 degrees Celsius?" Wu Chen knew that they were making necessary upgrades to the transforming locomotive along the way.
Christina Koch, the "Governant," replied: "No problem, my lord."
"Okay. Be careful and leave early and come back early." Wu Chen also understood that the next blasting mission would require the assistance of Vovalini's deformed locomotive.
"As you command, my lord." The beautiful female warrior mothers immediately dressed up and set off.
The "expanded locomotive cabin" was opened steadily in the polar storm. There were three Vovalini deformed motorcycles on the left and right, speeding away as they increased the accelerator.
"All vital signs are stable, my lord." Always paying attention to the status bar of the beautiful girls and mothers arranged on the screen, Valkyrie is no less worried than Wu Chen.
"The '279 Nuclear War Tank Doomsday Fortress' transformation plan, the modeling is completed." Wu Chen shared the holographic modeling of the multi-function watch: "Let's see if there are any improvements."
"Tsk tsk, my lord is indeed the one who once enjoyed a never-ending feast with the master of the 'Hall of Valor' in the Asgard Palace. He also caroused all night long with the ancestors of the heroic spirits in the 'Hall of Courage' called Sognard." 'That man'." Valkyrie knows Wu Chen's classic lines with her own BGM by heart.
"Then, let's do it." Ferosha glanced at Wu Chen with infinite affection.
"Okay." Wu Chen responded calmly. What can I say that I have never seen big winds and waves? As long as he is sincere, Wu Chen can accept anything.
Renovation started on the spot.
The 3D printing of a brand new body was completed using consumable cans collected from the original resources of Shattered Time and Space in the 279 Nuclear War Tank Doomsday Fortress tank.
Name: Fortress of Doom-279.
