Chapter 1243 (2/2)

”Oh?” Jiang Chen is waiting for his words.

”In addition to the strong acidic blood, we also found some special organic substances in its blood.” With that, verdel Taylor wrote a series of chemical formulas on the whiteboard that Jiang Chen's chemical knowledge could not understand. ”And this kind of organic matter can only exist in strong acid environment.”“…… My chemistry level is only undergraduate. ” Looking at the long string of chemical formulas on the whiteboard, Jiang Chen Khan said.

”You don't have to understand it. You just need to recognize this symbol.” Verdel Taylor shook his head and pointed to the letter O in the series of chemical formulas. ”These are oxygen atoms.”

”I still know that...” Suddenly, Jiang Chen found a strange place in the chemical formula.

Almost every few letters, you can see a capital o.

This may be too amateur, but it is very intuitive to reflect the problem.

”Even if this Martian creature can survive in an acidic environment, it will never survive without oxygen.” Said verdel Taylor in a positive tone. ”We haven't named this kind of organism yet, but it is this kind of organic matter that can only exist in strong acid environment, which provides the devil insect with the ability to move in an anaerobic environment!”

Jiang Chen can understand the words of Walter Taylor.

There is no oxygen on the surface of Mars, not only on the surface, but also in underground mines. In the bottom layer, the devil worm, like an earthworm, must have an organ that can hold its breath for a long time. At first, Jiang Chen guessed that it was some kind of high-pressure air bag. Unexpectedly, the reason appeared in the blood

Wait, if there's no oxygen on the surface or underground, where do they breathe?

There is also Gaia civilization. He has never noticed this problem. How did the civilization built in the underground solve the problem of oxygen. Can't we say that they mastered air filtration technology in the stone age?

How do these Martian creatures survive underground?

Jiang Chen suddenly realized this problem.

And that's the answer to that question.

”Mars has less than 1% oxygen in its atmosphere, and it's impossible to provide this large arthropod with the oxygen it needs,” said verdel Taylor with a hint of excitement. ”So we can say that there must be a place under Mars where there is abundant oxygen! We call it the ”oxygen supply layer”! ”

”Oxygen supply layer?” Jiang Chen frowned.

”Yes ”I'm sure there must be some kind of anaerobic fungus growing in this special underground space. This fungus can adapt to Martian environment, survive in acidic environment, consume carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. Its energy source may be geothermal or devil's excrement, acting as producer and decomposer at the same time. It is because of the existence of this fungus that Mars's underground biosphere can form a locked ring! ”

”I was invited by SpaceX to design an anaerobic bacterium that can survive in a medium acid environment for their Mars atmospheric modification project.”

”Do you know what this bacterium means to us?” Said Walter Taylor, with an air of fanaticism.

Although he had already guessed something, Jiang Chen couldn't help swallowing and spitting.

”What does it mean?”

”It means that we will be able to transform the Martian atmosphere!”
