#945 - Chapter 945: It is not appropriate to use it here
"Yes. Slime loses its viscosity in sufficiently low or high temperatures. We can use this to remove the slime," Nata explained.
"How can we achieve that?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"The cheapest and fastest method is to use Shape Memory Crystal Steel in coordination with the Salt Crystal Forest," Nata said, presenting the first solution.
"The ultra-low temperature produced by the Salt Crystal Forest can freeze the slime. And frozen slime shatters with a single shake, making it very easy to clean up."
"This method won't work. The Shape Memory Crystal Steel is still in the Iron Mountain Small World and is not suitable to be sent over," Dongfang Chen Er waved his hand, directly rejecting the plan.
"Then we can only use high temperatures."
"For high temperatures to rapidly degrade the slime, the temperature must exceed 400 degrees Celsius. That means we need to heat the surface of Sirius to at least 400 degrees Celsius," Nata proposed another solution.
The active temperature of Shape Memory Crystal Steel exceeds 700 degrees, so it can naturally survive. However, heating Sirius to 400 degrees is not an easy task.
"This method won't work either, think again."
"If a room temperature exceeding 70 degrees can eliminate those bugs, do we still need to heat it to 400 degrees?"
Dongfang Chen Er waved his hand, disapproving of this solution as well.
"That's right! Dad. We don't need to use Transformers at all. If we just figure out a way to change the climate of Sirius, won't those bugs die on their own?" Nata's eyes widened immediately upon being reminded.
"No, the Transformers must be deployed," Dongfang Chen Er still disagreed.
"Why?" Nata didn't understand.
"If we intervene, won't Long San know who the enemy is? Don't end up trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, getting ourselves caught," Dongfang Chen Er explained.
"That's true!" Nata scratched his head.
The Transformers were newly controlled by Nata and were not Dongfang Chen Er's original forces.
Furthermore, he suspected that the Transformer race might also be an ancient civilization, perhaps even like the Silicon-Based Octopus and the Shape Memory Crystal Steel Crystal Leopard, species brought in from the outside.
If that's the case, there's a high chance Long San would recognize them.
By doing so, this war would become a war between the Transformers and the Arthropod Civilization, and it would have nothing to do with him.
"Think again. I have only one requirement: the Transformers must kill these bugs," Dongfang Chen Er was too lazy to think and completely pushed the task to Nata.
"Dad, can't we temporarily shield the magnetic field of Sirius like we did with Blue Star? That way, the high-temperature plasma storms ejected from the star could quickly raise the surface temperature," Nata asked.
"No. We already used this trick on Blue Star. If Long San isn't an idiot, he'll immediately realize it's us," Dongfang Chen Er rejected Nata's plan again.
Nata scratched his head, continuing to think of solutions.
"I think the high-temperature solution still has a problem that can't be solved, it's best to think from a different angle," Dongfang Chen Er added.
"What problem?"
"They can burrow underground. The Transformers don't have an advantage fighting underground, and they'll still face the problem of being countered," Dongfang Chen Er explained.
"Ah! That's true," Nata agreed.
"Mengka, I remember you said that you cleaned up the bugs on Blue Star two hundred million years ago. How did you do it back then?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
Nata also looked at Mengka.
"My method is very simple, but it's not suitable to use here," Mengka replied.
"Tell us about it?" Dongfang Chen Er asked curiously.
Nata had Mengka's memories and knew what she had done.
It was indeed not suitable to use here.
Mengka didn't put on airs and explained:
"Back then, I just scattered the seeds of plants from Ancient Mercury onto Blue Star. I also dumped a lot of pre-cultivated green algae into the sea."
"Oh, oh, I remember," Dongfang Chen Er remembered.
Mengka had been scattering seeds onto the ancient continent of Blue Star day after day.
Since the trees on Ancient Mercury were relatively tall, their growth accelerated the consumption of carbon dioxide on Blue Star.
At the same time, the green algae in the ocean had no natural enemies and developed unscrupulously, further accelerating this process.
This led to the oxygen on Blue Star doubling in a very short period of time.
These were secondary.
The most important thing was that the reduction of carbon dioxide led to a decrease in Blue Star's temperature.
In the following millions of years, Blue Star was completely frozen, entering the Ice Age.
Those bugs naturally couldn't survive on the surface and either entered the underground world or died.
However, this method certainly couldn't be used.
Because they didn't have that much time to wait.
Guiguzi said that the exit anchor coordinates would be calculated in another two or three months.
Such a short time, planting any seeds wouldn't work.
