Chapter 477 Cesium Chloride and Rubidium Chloride

Mao Zhengzhi's face changed slightly at Lv Yongchang's words.

"You mean..."

"To trap this unknown creature?"

Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and glanced at the huge monster in the simulation image, took a breath and shook his head repeatedly: "No, this won't work!"

"It's too difficult."

"Let alone whether the [Poseidon] exploration ship can withstand its repeated beatings, it is also an extremely difficult task to attract its attention for a long time."

"What's more, [Poseidon] is not equipped with a weapon system, and it is impossible to cause damage to it."

Mao Zhengzhi thought for a moment, waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Professor, forgive me for being blunt, this is almost an impossible task."

Lv Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi in astonishment.

"Ahem... I think you may have misunderstood me."

"I mean, is there any way to divert its attention to other places?"

"Then, let [Poseidon] observe its body closely."

Mao Zhengzhi: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he scratched his head awkwardly: "Divert its attention... Let me think about it."

...

While the two were discussing, the huge deep-sea monster had not yet put down its strong curiosity.

And the [Poseidon] exploration ship, under its constant beating, has deviated greatly from its original route.

Ultrasonic waves continued to come from the sonar receiving device.

Obviously, after finding a new toy, it fell into an excited state.

This made the two pilots in the [exploration ship] suffer.

Although in the design, in order to ensure the safety of the driver's life, the [Poseidon] exploration ship added a lot of anti-bumping and anti-shock facilities.

But the original intention of this design was to withstand the strong storm inside the ice giant, not to be a toy ball for a 200-meter-long monster!

"Teach, professor..."

Hansent resisted the nausea in his abdomen and said with difficulty: "Ugh... Is there any way... Ugh... Can it stop?"

Hope, who was standing by, heard Hansent's retching and took off the helmet attached to the wall without saying a word while the giant beast was away, and then put it on Hansent's head.

Hansent's face turned green when he reacted.

Looking at the transparent mask in front of him, he resisted his extremely strong desire to vomit.

Looking at the resentful eyes cast by his teammates, Hope shrugged helplessly.

"I am helpless too. You don't want the cockpit to be contaminated, do you?"

At the end, he added: "Hold on, we seem to have only brought two helmets."

Hearing this, Hansent's face turned even greener.

Fortunately, this situation did not last too long.

After two more rounds of collisions, the "fairy music" voice of Academician Mao Zhengzhi came out from the loudspeaker.

"There is a way!"

At this moment, Hansen and Hope's eyes were shining!

In the hearts of the two, at this moment, Academician Mao Zhengzhi is their god!

"Try cesium chloride and rubidium chloride!"

Mao Zhengzhi said hurriedly: "Earth organisms rely on potassium and sodium salts to adjust the potential of cell membranes."

"But amino organisms are different."

"In liquid ammonia, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride are more soluble than potassium and sodium salts."

"Moreover, under normal circumstances, the abundance of cesium and rubidium is definitely not as high as that of potassium and sodium."

"Therefore, in their world, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride may be extremely scarce resources."

As he said, Mao Zhengzhi frowned, thought carefully, and tried to make an appropriate analogy.

"Like..."

"Like an extremely scarce, yet indispensable seasoning!"

"Ugh!" Influenced by Hansen, Hope couldn't help but dry-heaved, "Academician Mao, get to the point, ugh... get to the point!!"

"Cesium chloride and rubidium chloride, are there any of these things on the exploration ship?!"

Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and looked at Lv Yongchang beside him.

"Yes!" Lv Yongchang's face brightened, and he immediately said, "There are some reserves in the laboratory of the exploration ship, not much, but it should be enough."

...

Under Lv Yongchang's command, Zero controlled a robot to take out some cesium chloride and rubidium chloride from the laboratory.

Because he didn't know the "taste" of this deep-sea monster, Lv Yongchang specially asked Zero to take out the same amount of the two substances.

Then, while the deep-sea monster was "playing", the robot quickly placed it in two high-strength sealed containers.

This container made of the same material as the shell of [Poseidon] can easily withstand the terrifying pressure from the outside world.

As for the way to open the container, remote control was naturally chosen.

After all the preparations were completed, when the deep-sea monster was moving away, the side hatch of the exploration ship opened quickly, and the manipulator threw the two sealed containers far away.

Then, the manipulator retracted into the cabin, and the hatch was quickly closed, ready for the next collision.

The thrown sealed containers did not attract the attention of the deep-sea monster.

Perhaps, in its eyes, the two sealed containers were too small to be worth paying more attention to.

"Bang!"

As the sound of the collision sounded, there was another round of dizziness.

"Wait a little longer!" Lv Yongchang, who was in the command center, stared at a line of data displayed in the holographic projection - that was the distance between the "bait" and the exploration ship.

In order to ensure that there is enough time to observe this deep-sea behemoth, Lu Yongchang needs to ensure that the "bait" is in an appropriate position.

First, the distance between it and the exploration ship cannot be too far.

Even if cesium chloride and rubidium chloride are extremely precious resources for these amino life forms, they may not be able to sense their existence because they are too far apart.

Secondly, it cannot be too close.

Once the distance is too close, the time Hope and Hansent have to explore and escape will be greatly shortened.

Therefore, controlling distance is particularly important.

Especially in the absence of detailed data, the difficulty of this operation quickly increases.

Seeing the depth of the sealed container increase rapidly, Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Open the container."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two sealed containers popped open the "hatch" under Zero's control.

The cesium chloride and rubidium chloride powders quickly dissolve in the surrounding liquid ammonia seawater.

In the distance, the deep-sea behemoth was still beating and hitting the [Poseidon] exploration ship with its tail and body excitedly, seemingly unaware of the movement in the distance.

Failed?

"Wait a little longer."

Mao Zhengzhi's voice came from the side.

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, just held his breath and turned his gaze to the holographic projection.

So far, there is no evidence that amino organisms use cesium chloride or rubidium chloride to regulate cell membrane potential. Everything is just conjecture.

Neither of them was even sure whether such a life would have a so-called cellular structure!

Therefore, at this moment, both Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi were extremely nervous!
