Xu Zhou immediately sat up and answered the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Xu? Come over to my side! The results are out!"
One could hear the anxiety from Liu Zhongmin's tone. Xu Zhou's heart slowly sank, and he finally said in a concentrated voice:
"I'll come right over!"
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhou quickly walked into Liu Zhongmin's office. At this time, in addition to Liu Zhongmin himself, there was a middle-aged man he had never seen sitting aside.
The two of them were talking about the information on one side. When they saw Xu Zhou coming in, they immediately greeted:
"Xiao Xu is here, come and sit."
Xu Zhou didn't hesitate and sat down across the table.
"This is Qian Jiufu, a marine biology expert from the Dragon Kingdom."
Liu Zhongmin introduced the middle-aged man, then pointed at Xu Zhou and said:
"Xiaoqian, this is Dean Xu Zhouxu, the president of the Ark Academy of Sciences."
When Qian Jiufu heard this, he was immediately surprised and said:
"It turns out to be Xu Yard. His thunderous presence during this period can be regarded as a legend in the Dragon Kingdom in recent years."
"Everywhere, the seniors are the ones looking up to me."
Qian Jiufu has often seen the name Xu Zhou recently. Whether it is on TV stations, media news or short videos, he can see introductions about his identity.
In addition, the previous opening ceremony was popular all over the Internet, and Xu Zhou's legendary deeds were constantly publicized by the Propaganda Department. Now many middle school students have begun to regard Xu Zhou as their idol!
Now after seeing the real person, I have to sigh, to reach this position at such a young age is truly unprecedented and unprecedented!
Liu Zhongmin waved to Xu Zhou directly and said:
"The test results are out. A total of 1,688 marine life samples of various species have been collected in the waters of Sakura Island. After a day of overtime testing, a large number of nuclear nuclei were detected in all the samples. Radioactive material exists in sewage!”
"And some of these organisms have begun to mutate, and their genes are undergoing automatic distortion...or it can be said to be evolution!"
Xu Zhou was a little dumbfounded. Things had really come to this point, and now the situation was obvious.
Because after Sakura Country's nuclear sewage was discharged into the sea, this offshore area has now been completely polluted.
"Dean, what do you mean by evolution?"
Liu Zhongmin said:
"It literally means evolution!"
"Some of these polluted marine organisms will die quickly within a period of time, some will starve to death, and some will be polluted to death, but the genes in the group that have not died have already changed."
"And most of the changes are for the better. For example, previously docile creatures have now become more violent and aggressive."
"Some have no defensive parts, but they have evolved carapace!"
"These changes are in a sense preparation for survival, so it can be said to be evolution."
Xu Zhou took a breath of air, and the most feared situation appeared.
Various unpredictable changes occurred when organisms were infected by radiation. The giant ones became larger, and their bodies were made of soft bodies and began to evolve carapace for self-defense.
If this continues, will it evolve to the point where it can dehydrate and go ashore?
"Now there is no doubt that the highly concentrated nuclear sewage around Sakura Island has infected the creatures in the sea with large-scale radiation. I even suspect that it has radiated to the surrounding areas. We must also start random inspections in the waters of Dragon Kingdom."
Xu Zhou nodded in agreement and said:
"So what can we do now?"
Liu Zhongmin also had no idea what to do.
At this time, marine biology expert Qian Jiufu interjected:
"In fact, this kind of thing must be controlled in the early stages. My suggestion is to use multi-frequency seabed echo sounders on a large scale from the sea to the seabed to explore whether there are still such giant objects on the seabed."
"If there are any creatures similar to the size of an octopus, they must be dealt with, otherwise the sea will be in danger at any time, affecting the safety of fishing boats and sailing vessels."
Xu Zhou nodded in approval.
"With a size of fifty meters, ordinary fishing boats will basically die if they encounter it. This is indeed something that needs to be solved as soon as possible."
At this time Liu Zhongmin said:
"I will immediately report and arrange this matter, and finally impose a temporary blockade on the waters around Sakura Island, prohibiting going to the sea!"
Everyone discussed the initial response, and Xu Zhou quickly returned to his research room.
Through the search in his mind just now, Xu Zhou has basically determined the technology that he will urgently develop in order to deal with the deep sea.
He just hopes that with a little more time, as long as it is not developed and deteriorated in a short period of time, he can develop a latest device that can explore, navigate, and even fight in the deep sea area.
For now, there is no need to worry about materials. The super alloy technology originally used by the Orca can fully cope with the water pressure strength below 10,000 meters under the sea.
After the problem of water pressure is solved, the biggest problem now is to have a power and energy system that is stable and can run for a long time with enough power and small enough size.
Regarding this, Xu Zhou couldn't help but look at the huge magnetic circle in the research room with some anticipation.
He started preparing for this thing a month or two ago, when the oil system was forced to expel Dragon Coin, but in the end the crisis was solved by space-based weapons.
But Xu Zhou was thinking that the reason why the oil settlement system has such great influence is simply because of energy issues.
If there is something that can replace oil, will the world still need an oil settlement system in the future?
So after that, Xu Zhou spent all the more than three million proficiency points he had saved for a long time at once, and then unlocked the technology he was currently working on.
It is clean, efficient, long-term stable, safe and can also control the amount of energy!
This is the problem that all developed countries in the world have been trying to overcome in recent years. They can control nuclear fusion energy!
Commonly known as artificial sun!
Why is this a technology currently being pursued by all countries in the world? The main reason is that it has too many advantages over traditional energy sources.
First of all, the fuel for this thing can be said to be inexhaustible.
At the beginning of the last century, someone discovered that a deuterium nucleus was accelerated by an accelerator and collided with a tritium nucleus at an extremely high speed. The two nuclei fused and could form a new nucleus!
In this process, a full 17.6 trillion electron volts of energy are released. This is also the principle why the sun can continue to shine and heat for billions of years, and it is also the reason why controllable nuclear fusion is called an artificial sun.
Deuterium, the two raw materials used in this technology, exists in large amounts in seawater. The deuterium contained in 1 liter of seawater can provide energy equivalent to the energy released after burning 300 liters of gasoline after nuclear fusion!
As for tritium, although it does not exist in nature, it can be produced by interacting with lithium, and seawater also contains a large amount of lithium.
Because the nuclear fusion reaction does not produce radioactive substances, the helium produced does not pollute the environment. It can be said to be clean, easy to use and safe.
Now that Xu Zhou has been studying and simulating day and night during this period, this technology has finally passed the early theoretical stage, and the next step is to start manufacturing real objects!
With this technology, in the future it will not only be used to explore deep sea areas, but also be applied to the exploration of the aerospace universe.
In short, it will be of great help to the future development of Dragon Kingdom in various fields!
Xu Zhou patted his face, then cheered himself up and said:
"Although it is difficult, it may not be impossible to succeed. With systematic support, maybe I can really make history!"
Thinking of this, Xu Zhou temporarily forgot about the mutation of underwater creatures and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the subsequent research.
At the same time, on the other side, Liu Zhongmin immediately reported the results to the senior officials of Longguo.
The top management will also give full support to future plans.
So three days later, on a sea area on Sakura Island.
A formation consisting of two research ships and five frigates slowly set off and arrived at the location where the giant octopus was originally discovered in the Sakura Sea.
For this operation, the Dragon Kingdom organized more than a dozen marine research experts, and several biological researchers from the Dragon Academy of Science also cooperated to go there simultaneously.
When the investigation formation arrived at the predetermined sea area, everyone began the formal investigation work after a brief rest.
Under the operation of professional instruments, several wavy lines appeared on the screen inside the ship.
This is feedback from the echoes on the ocean floor.
A few hours passed slowly, and the formation also moved slowly after inspecting a place to investigate the surrounding area.
"I said, the boss didn't say what they were doing, so they just asked us to come over and do these things. Are there any changes at the bottom of the sea?"
At this time, a staff member said boredly while recording the data.
"Hey, let us just do it honestly. Why worry so much? Just leave the data to those experts."
"No, I'm just curious. It doesn't feel like an ordinary seabed survey this time. It feels like I'm looking for something."
"Looking for something?"
"Yes, you see, this geological analysis does not require our attention, and we have to constantly move the location for investigation. Isn't this what we are looking for?"
"What can you find, a sunken ship on the bottom of the sea? What's the use of finding it so deep? You just know it's nonsense."
At this time, the man who just spoke smiled and said:
"Who said he was looking for death? I don't think he was looking for anything alive!"
After saying this, several staff members were numb, and they laughed and cursed with some fear:
"You're talking nonsense, hurry up and finish the work as soon as possible!"
Bah...
But at this moment, a series of sounds came out of the instrument, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted to it.
After their eyes moved to the screen, the next moment everyone's mouths opened slightly, with horror in their eyes.
"This...this is..."
"Hurry up and call the expert team! Hurry!"
