Remember https://. If it's only 500 meters in the sea area, it's understandable that the coral is thick.

After all, after the Great Xia Period, the environment has changed dramatically, and it is understandable that corals have become more adaptable.

However, 1000 meters, 2000 meters...... After reaching the 7,000-meter-deep trench, Emperor Boat still saw a variety of colorful corals.

That's a bit of a weirdness!

At this time, even Tingting knew that the situation was wrong, and no longer admired the beautiful corals, but squinted her eyes and began to seriously examine these strange corals.

The world will change, and that's acceptable.

But any change should have a limit, beyond the limit, that is, weird, once there is an extremely weird situation, usually speaking, there is a big problem.

For example, the Great Xia period will be very hot and hot, and the temperature will rise much, much.

The Great Drought will also come.

The Great Xia Era had a Great Drought Era, which was an expected event.

However, ten suns appeared in the sky!

This is not a normal event, but a special case that occurred in the Great Drought Era, which brought the most dangerous test to mankind.

If coral spreads from 200 meters of water to 1,000 meters, or even 2,000 meters of seawater, it is probably acceptable.

However, there are large areas of corals at the bottom of the 7,000-meter seabed, and they are still growing very well. Together, because of the coral, there is a more complete marine ecological environment.

Like the coral groves in the shallow waters, many small fish swim leisurely in the dark and cold waters.

This is completely abnormal!

Fang Yun had to think about what kind of coral this was, how could it be so evil.

The results observed by Emperor Zhou shocked Fang Yun incomparably.

If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, Fang Yun didn't rush to dive, suspended the emperor boat in the seawater, and said to Leng Linwu: "Doctor, let's take some coral samples and do a simple study to see what secrets these corals hide." ”

Leng Lin nodded and said yes, but immediately said softly: "But on the biotechnology side, I am not a strong point, I can only cooperate with you to study, and there is also that the rerefining time of the Emperor Boat is too short, and the test equipment inside has not been installed, so it may be difficult to detect too many things." ”

Fang Yun nodded, looked at the quantum display, and said to Liang Xiaoying: "Xiaoying, in this way, you gather some biologists to observe remotely in the Cloud City Laboratory to see if you can discover some secrets of corals." ”

The quantum communication flickered slightly, and Liang Xiaoying appeared on the screen and said with a smile: "Okay, Xianggong, however, my long-range observation may not be accurate, anyway, I will do my best." ”

Leng Linwu chuckled and said: "As long as the coral is a little strange, then there should be some discoveries in remote observation, without further ado, I will go and take specimens." ”

After speaking, Leng Linwu operated the emperor's boat, released a detector, found a coral that looked like antlers, knocked off a deer antler, and quickly returned to the emperor's boat.

Originally, in Fang Yun's imperial boat, there was the world's strongest laboratory and the world's best library.

When the Emperor Boat was refined, the test equipment and library were transferred to Cloud City.

The Emperor Boat completed the refining, and Fang Yun simply set it up, and before he had time to seriously arrange the Emperor Ark, he led the team on an expedition, at this time, within the Emperor Boat, there were only simple test facilities.

After the antlers were brought in, Leng Linwei began to make slices very skillfully, and it didn't take long for a small piece of coral to be placed under the microscope and began to be observed.

Although Dizhou's laboratory is rudimentary, the most basic observation can still be made.

It's just that the effect of this observation was somewhat unexpected by Fang Yun.

Leng Lin worried about the sliced coral, but did not see a single live polyp.

The whole slice looks like a dead coral.

On the side of the quantum display, Liang Xiaoying saw this result, and said quite puzzledly: "No, under normal circumstances, the corals floating on the surface of the sea are dead corals, and the corals that grow in the sea are generally alive, as long as the coral is cut, it should be easier to find the polyps, how is it all cuticle and limestone on this slice?"

Leng Lin frowned, thought for a while, and said softly: "I think that this coral is definitely not a dead coral, there must be some kind of secret hidden in his body, and I haven't been able to discover it yet, so let's do it, Dr. Liang, I use the quantum communication device to aim at the coral slice, and you use our high-end equipment to observe the coral carefully and see if you can find it." ”

Liang Xiaoying nodded and said, "Okay, Dr. Leng, wait a minute, I'll let them prepare a little bit." ”

Only five minutes later, Liang Xiaoying appeared on the quantum monitor with a smile and said softly: "Ready, Dr. Leng, take the slice, I'll see what secrets this coral hides." ”

Leng Linwei put the coral slice on it and pointed it at the coral with his own quantum communication device, which was convenient for remote observation over there.

This kind of operation has a certain degree of difficulty, and it is the first time for everyone to operate, so I don't know what the effect will be.

After about ten minutes, Liang Xiaoying's image reappeared on the quantum communication instrument, and said with a smile: "There are some discoveries, doctor, you see, this is our observation......"

After speaking, many pictures appeared on the quantum communication instrument.

Liang Xiaoying clicked on a picture and explained: "You see, we still found some live polyps here, but now this kind of polyps has become very small in size, and basically immobile, hidden in limestone, it is difficult to find." ”

When Fang Yun saw Liang Xiaoying's picture, he couldn't help but have many doubts in his heart.

It felt a little wrong, but what was wrong, Fang Yun couldn't say.

In his mind, Fang Yun couldn't help but think of the records of modern technology about polyps.

Polyps, only hydroid-type individuals, are hollow cylindrical in shape, with the lower end attached to the surface of the object, the top of which has a mouth, and is surrounded by one or more circles of tentacles. The tentacles are used to collect food, which can be stretched to a certain extent, and there are specialized stinging cells on them, and when the stinging cells are stimulated, they turn out the spiny sac to paralyze the prey.

There are two biggest characteristics of polyps, one of which is common meat.

That is, the meaning of sharing the flesh, many polyps, can share a stomach pouch, but the mouth, is separate.

This characteristic has created a large number of corals in various forms.

The second characteristic is that polyps need to hunt and will feed on plankton.

Then, Fang Yun looked at Liang Xiaoying's picture and found the problem, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoying, but if the polyps really show you such a tiny thing, how can they hunt?"

Liang Xiaoying smiled, stretched out her hand, pulled open the second picture, and explained with a smile: "This is my second discovery, that is, these polyps can not only share meat, but also share mouths, you look at this picture......

In that picture, a tiny polyp with a large, hollow, seemingly limestone mouth.

The polyps solidify the bones of their dead kind, turning them into hollow pipes to pounce on, turning them into their own mouths.

And from the outside, if you are not careful, you will think that this hollow pipe is a small gap in the limestone.

Leng Lin patted his head and said with some sighs: "I see, what a wonderful coral structure, but this still can't explain how they can live at such a deep seabed, there is really no reason." ”

Before the Bactrian period, the most suitable living environment for corals was about 20 degrees Celsius, about 50 meters deep, some special corals could barely reach a depth of 200 meters.

The depth of 7,000 meters is completely beyond imagination.

Liang Xiaoying smiled, stretched out her hand and swiped lightly, and another picture was revealed: "I also discovered a little secret, that is, these polyps make full use of the gap in limestone to form a living space similar to the effect of air conditioning, and they can reasonably adjust the surrounding temperature, you see......"

The picture changes again, and a very elaborate structure of a polyp greenhouse appears on it.

Seeing this structure, Leng Lin slapped his thigh worriedly, and said with a sigh: "The creature is really magical, before the Great Xia Period, when termites built ant towers, they would build some special constant temperature structures, but I didn't expect that now in the deep sea, I saw such a miracle, such a magical coral, it was really an eye-opener......

Fang Yun's heart was also full of sighs.

The mystery of the natural world is really unimaginable, and I never imagined that even the simplest creature coral could evolve such a powerful ability.

With an incubator, wouldn't this coral survive anywhere?

Isn't the bottom of the sea becoming a sea of coral sooner or later?

Beside Fang Yun, Leng Lin gave Liang Xiaoying a thumbs up, and praised him: "Dr. Liang is really amazing, he has made so many discoveries so quickly, and finally revealed the secret of coral, okay, since this is the case, we can continue to dive." ”https://./10_10466/
