Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 72 New material
Hearing Professor Wang talk about jelly-like substances, Chen Xuan instantly remembered that when he smelted fluorescent seaweeds, the stems and leaves of those seaweeds were also transformed into jelly-like substances.

After cooling, it becomes bioplastic.

Could it be that they extracted fluorescent seaweed?

But Professor Li Baichuan clearly said that they hadn't found it.

What's going on here?

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Chen Xuan continued to ask.

"Professor Wang, what happened to those gelatinous substances?"

"The people in this lab are doing further research. So far, the coagulation and adhesion properties of this jelly-like substance are good..."

"The gelatinous substance didn't harden when it cooled?"

Halfway through listening, Chen Xuan felt something was wrong. It didn't sound like this thing turned into a plastic-like substance?

"No, it will remain in this gel-like form after being burned. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Seeing Chen Xuan suddenly put forward such a statement, Professor Wang was also a little puzzled.

After listening to Professor Wang's description, Chen Xuan was sure.

This is definitely not fluorescent seaweed.

Then this extract should be a new material.

Coagulant and adhesive?
This property reminded him of a piece of material hidden in the corner of his memory.

gel.

This is a material that appeared on the panel from the beginning, and it is a necessary material to unlock the "Movable Type Illustrated Book Module".

Along the way, Chen Xuan collected many materials one after another, and unlocked all the technologies that could be unlocked.

There is only one last item left in the [Black Technology Module], the "Mobile Type Illustrated Module", which has not been unlocked because the gel cannot be found.

According to Professor Wang, the two seem to be somewhat related.

I don't know if this jelly-like substance is a gel.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan asked:
"Professor Wang, do you still have this gelatinous substance?"

"Yes, yes, what's the matter?"

"Can you give me some, I can exchange it with contribution points."

Chen Xuan is rich and powerful.

"We only have a small amount of this for research, and we really can't provide it to you."

Professor Wang spread his hands.

It seems that it cannot be obtained directly.

"Professor Wang, where did you find this algal plant that produces a gelatinous substance?"

Chen Xuan could only settle for the next best thing and collect the materials himself.

"In fact, we didn't get this up by ourselves, but some members of the organization department picked it up while fishing, so we don't know the exact location."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan thought the clue was lost, but Professor Wang suddenly changed the subject.

"However, judging from the nature of this algae, it should be in the shallow sea. Because of the nature of the mountain, there are some tidal flats in Dongji Mountain, and many new species have grown here."

"You can go there and look for it."

It seems there is still hope.

Chen Xuan thought about it.

At the foot of Dongji Mountain? It seems that I am going to dive again.

"But Xiao Chen, I just saw that you didn't react right. Do you have other discoveries?"

"It's like this, Professor Wang. I also discovered a kind of algae plant before. It is huge and glows at night. I collected some extracts. Although they turned into jelly for a short time during the burning process, the cooling It turned into something like this.”

Chen Xuan pretended to feel in his trousers pocket, but in fact he secretly pulled out a little bit of bioplastic from the material space.

Then I saw him take out a small plastic ball about one cubic centimeter in size from his trouser pocket.

Looking at the plastic ball shining in the sun, the eyes of the two professors stared straight.

"Xiao Chen, can you show it to me?"

It was Professor Zhang Yongqing who spoke, with a hint of eagerness in his tone, sounding very excited.

After getting Chen Xuan's consent, Professor Zhang Yongqing and Professor Wang Xinjie couldn't wait to examine and explore carefully.

Then he opened his mouth excitedly.

"Xiao Chen, can you let us study this first? We will pay you contribution points."

"Of course, this is my personal contribution to the camp for research, no contribution points are required."

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

He still has nearly 30 units, which is nothing at all.

And this behavior undoubtedly greatly gained the favor of the two professors.

"But Professor Zhang, is there anything special about this thing?"

Chen Xuan was a little curious. Although he had obtained bioplastics for a long time, he only knew a little about its properties. He wanted to know the opinions of authority figures.

"It is difficult to draw a conclusion for the time being. We need further experiments to determine the properties. But judging from the gloss and texture, this may be a substitute for plastic."

"That makes a lot of sense."

"Xiao Chen, I think you must have discovered that some polymer materials produced by artificial synthesis have decomposed for some reason, including plastics, artificial rubber, chemical fibers and so on."

"While plastics and rubber decompose very quickly, chemical fibers decompose relatively slowly."

"If it's just external energy, it shouldn't be enough to cause such a huge impact."

"So we speculate that there may be some special changes at the molecular level."

"In fact, we have also tried some chemical reactions, some are still feasible, but some reactions are much slower. There are even some reactions that can no longer be carried out."

"What about the metal, has there been any change?"

Chen Xuan asked suddenly, he remembered the gray cube in the space, and the safe in the cabin.

"How do you know the metal changes?"

Professor Li was a little surprised, but then he thought about it. The young man in front of him was a master craftsman, and it was reasonable to notice changes in the metal.

Pushing the glasses, Professor Li said seriously.

"It is true that some non-artificial materials have also undergone partial changes, the most obvious of which is metal.

After the disaster, we found that the electronic products failed very quickly. At first we thought it was the effect of the circuit board disintegration, but soon we discovered something new.

"We built a blast furnace and tried to smelt metal using the ancient method of alchemy. Unfortunately, the metal did not melt, but we unexpectedly found that different types of metals turned into a single material.

Originally, metal has good electrical and thermal conductivity, but we guess now that it also has strong conductivity for mutated energy.

In the process of heating, the metal atoms may become more active, and some subtle changes have occurred in this energy combination.

It's a pity that there is no professional equipment here, otherwise we can find out the specific reasons behind this phenomenon through further analysis. "

Xiao Chen, the impact of a flood disaster on the world is not small, but the energy brought by the flood is even more subversive.Even if the flood recedes, it is impossible for us to go back to the past.

We have now entered a new era.
