Use the sensor to detect that there is some mixture inside. But what exactly is here? It may be that some substances are transmitted through this water pipe. But if it’s so concealed, why not transport it directly by car or ship? Instead, pipeline transportation is used.
Qin He said: "Several strange things have happened now. Water hyacinths mutate, saw-toothed moles destroy pipes, and fern worms produce poisonous spores. Is there any relationship between these things?"
Shi Rui said: "If there is a relationship, which one comes first and which one comes last?"
Xia Yueling said: "There are several cases where the water hyacinth mutates, causing saw-toothed moles to smell its scent, search more urgently, destroy the pipes, and bring the water in the pipes to the woods, causing the fern to produce toxic spores."
"The water hyacinth mutates, causing the water in the pipe to be carried into the woods, causing the fern to produce poisonous spores, poisoning the saw-toothed mole, and driving it to destroy the pipe."
"The saw-toothed mole destroys the pipe, and the pipe water hyacinth mutates. The water in the pipe is carried into the woods, causing the fern to produce toxic spores."
"The saw-toothed mole destroys the pipes, causing the water in the pipes to be carried into the woods, causing the fern to produce toxic spores, and the water flows back, causing the pipe water hyacinth to mutate."
"Fern Kei first produces poisonous spores, poisoning the saw-toothed mole and driving it to destroy the pipe. Water hyacinth encounters special elements and mutates and enters the pipe."
"The fern tree first produces poisonous spores. The water hyacinth encounters special element mutations and enters the pipe, causing the saw-toothed mole to destroy the pipe and look for the water hyacinth."
"What we know now is these three events. Based on the events we have encountered so far, there are three, 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321. Arranged like this, there are only so many possibilities in total."
Shi Rui said: "Let me check it out. The water hyacinth and the saw-toothed mole are relatively close. They may have been connected first. Lake water pollution caused the water hyacinth to mutate. It attached to the float guardrail and was taken to the basement by workers. The saw-toothed mole is used The tail brought it back to the lake. But some water sources leaked and were brought to the green plants. The green plants were transplanted to the forest. They came into contact with nearby fern baskets, causing them to mutate and produce toxic spores that spread, causing danger."
Deng Fei said: "What you said is really complicated."
Shi Rui said: "In short, pollutants have caused a lot of mutations."
Xia Yueling said: "I think there is a logical relationship here. It is not the mutation of fern trunks directly caused by pollutants."
Shi Rui said: "That is to say, the mutation of water hyacinth blue combined with the material from the saw-toothed mole's tail, plus the material from the plant, led to the mutation of the fern trunk."
Xia Yueling said: "That's what it means."
Ferns absorb special elements from the soil through their roots. These special elements may be a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and other elements, but the content is abnormal, or other unknown elements.
The absorption of special elements causes genetic mutations in ferns, leading to changes in their genomes. These mutations may occur in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA, changing the way the gene is encoded. The mutated gene begins to produce new functional proteins through regulatory mechanisms. These proteins may be toxic or associated with enzymes that synthesize toxic substances.
After regulating gene expression, ferns begin to synthesize poisonous substances, harmful or deadly toxins. The effects of these toxins on plants may be defensive or predatory effects on feeders. The synthesis of toxic substances usually occurs in the spore-forming organs of ferns, such as sporangia. This formation process involves multiple chemical reactions and catalysis by enzymes.
Once toxic spores are formed, they are released by the fern into the surrounding environment. These spores can be spread by wind, water or animals, affecting other plants or animals.
Harmful substances and chemicals that are not treated in industrial wastewater may have adverse effects on the growth and development of water hyacinths, leading to their mutation. The process by which industrial wastewater causes water hyacinth mutation may be as follows. The root system of water hyacinth absorbs industrial wastewater in the soil and absorbs harmful substances and chemicals in it, such as heavy metals, organic compounds, harmful gases, etc. Harmful substances enter the root cells of water hyacinth and interact with their organelles, causing damage to cell functions, abnormal metabolic processes, and even cell death.
These substances may cause mutations in the water hyacinth gene and change the DNA sequence. These mutations may occur in specific genes. After gene mutations, the gene expression regulatory mechanism of water hyacinth may change. Some genes that were originally suppressed may be activated, and some genes that were originally activated may be suppressed.
Due to changes in gene expression regulation, water hyacinths began to show morphological changes, growth rate changes, flower color variations, etc. These characteristic variations may be adaptive variations produced by water hyacinth to adapt to the living environment of harmful substances.
Qin He said: "What we are seeing now is that the shape of hyacinth hyacinth has changed, it has become longer, and the growth rate has changed, that is, the growth rate has become faster."
Xia Yueling said: "Suppose that the substance A produced by the mutation of water hyacinth, and the substance B of the saw-toothed mole's tail, plus the substance C of green plants, are mixed into D, causing the fern to mutate and produce toxic spores."
Shi Rui said: "The substances in green plants do not necessarily participate in this chemical process, they just serve as a carrier."
Deng Fei said: "The substance in water hyacinth causes the fern trunk to mutate. It may be that the substance in the saw-toothed mole's tail causes the fern trunk to mutate."
So the water coming out of the water pipes is transported from the forest to the city, so this water may contain the same substances as fern kettle.
The changes in the characteristics of water hyacinths, the changes in the habits of saw-toothed moles, and the mutation of ferns may all be caused unintentionally. However, water pipes are man-made, and so are the institutions. Transporting water from forests to cities is man-made. So what is his purpose? Who is doing this?
The bottle containing the water sample has been sent to the chemistry laboratory.
After dissolving and filtering. Several analytical methods were selected depending on the nature of the sample and the elemental analysis required. Including spectral analysis (atomic absorption spectrometry, mass spectrometry), chemical analysis (titration) and instrumental analysis (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, electron microscopy).
Data are processed and interpreted based on the analysis results. Including calculating the content of elements, comparing differences between samples or comparing with standard values.
Deng Fei said: "It's been a day, have you finally analyzed what elements are in this?"
Qin He said: "The analysis showed that there is the element phosphorus, which is not in the periodic table of elements."
Deng Fei said: "Will such a thing happen again? Is it caused by meteorites?"
Xia Yueling said: "I don't know. There is also the water distribution stone that can control the flow of water. No one knows what's going on."
