Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 78 Special Materials of Dongji Mountain
Bioplastics actually have luminous properties?
If it is true as what Professor Zhang said, it is really good news.

Because there is no electricity now, I can only rely on the traditional lighting method of firelight, and I am worried that I cannot find a lighting method that can be brought underwater.

This is simply sleepy came to send a pillow.

Chen Xuan really wants to give Professor Zhang a big hug now.

However, bioplastics have been in their hands for a long time, but they have not found any luminescence.

After the stems, leaves and fruits of the seaweed were taken off by him, they no longer glowed.

What will Professor Zhang do?

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Professor Zhang, can bioplastics really emit light? But I have obtained this material for so long and have never seen it emit light."

"In theory, it should be like this. According to my current experience, this material should be said to be able to conduct and release light energy."

"But further research is needed to determine the conditions and methods of excitation."

Professor Zhang pushed his glasses habitually and explained carefully.

"The fluorescent materials we have come into contact with before are nothing more than two kinds. One is to absorb light energy and store it and then release it slowly through the form of fluorescence, while the other is radioactive elements that emit rays due to their own properties."

"In addition, there is another kind of fluorescent protein that exists in organisms that can also emit light, but this is generally used in the field of research."

"It has not yet been determined which type of bioplastic belongs to."

Although there is no specific statement yet, Professor Zhang's words did bring hope to Chen Xuan, so that the underwater lighting will have a direction.

Now I just hope that Professor Zhang can research the luminescent method of bioplastics as soon as possible.

Then, Chen Xuan didn't stay any longer, and Li Shuo took him to see other areas of the laboratory.

"Mr. Chen, I don't know where you want to go first."

It was already some distance away from the laboratory. Seeing that Professor Zhang was no longer by his side, Li Shuo, who was originally stiff, relaxed a little.

"You don't have to be so polite, you can just call me Chen Xuan. Brother Li, can you show me the materials of our Dongji Mountain first, I want to learn more about the relevant situation."

"By the way, it's best to use materials that have mutated."

Although the two are similar in age, Chen Xuan still calls Li Shuo the eldest brother, after all, it's not surprising that there are many polite people.

And Chen Xuan's behavior immediately added a lot of points in front of Li Shuo.

Originally, Li Shuo was very curious about Chen Xuan's identity, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth to make friends. Now it seems that Chen Xuan has no airs, so he should be easy to talk to.

"No problem, just tell me if you need anything."

Seeing Li Shuo nodded, his tone was much more enthusiastic than the businesslike one before.

Then he took Chen Xuan to walk all the way, and at the same time, the conversation between the two also increased.

Through chatting with Chen Xuan, I learned that although the experiment site is very large, there are not many scientific researchers in the camp. There are no more than 30 people in total, and these people are also put together, and their professionalism is not very high. .

Just like the Li Shuo in front of him is not actually a biology major. In fact, among the few people in the laboratory before, only one or two were biology students, and the rest were half-way monks.

Because I have a little bit of scientific research literacy, and I am also curious about materials, after the end of the world, I will carry out research work with Professor Zhang.

"Actually, I didn't expect that one day materials science would become so important."

"You know, this was a major that persuaded people to quit before. I heard that after learning the materials back then, they all changed their careers to become code farmers."

Because of getting acquainted, Li Shuo said a few words to Chen Xuan.

However, although Li Shuo was curious about Chen Xuan's identity, he never had the nerve to ask about it.

While talking, they arrived at their destination.

This is a rather large room, it looks like a warehouse, but it is very tidy.

It can be seen that there are many scaffolds inside, and many samples are displayed on them.

There are everything from ordinary stones, flowers and plants, to the body tissues of mutated animals.

Then Li Shuo said:

"The large and small species in the Dongji Mountains are already extremely rich. After discovering the variation of creatures, we have carried out investigations on almost every creature."

"We found that the energy that causes biological variation does not have a great impact on the original materials, such as these stones, wood and so on."

"While the logs are originally taken from the trees, they are practically the same. Just as fuel, the logs become more resistant to burning and last two or three times as long."

"Among all materials, soil is the least affected. Although the plants planted in the soil absorb special energy and mutate, the soil itself still only exists as a culture medium."

"The influence of metal is the greatest, but there is no good forging method now, and further research is still underway. I heard that a master craftsman came to the camp recently. Maybe that big guy will have a way."

Uh, in fact, I don't have a good way to use metal for the time being.

Chen Xuan secretly said something in his heart.

But Li Shuo didn't know that the master craftsman was right in front of him, so he took Chen Xuan to the innermost row of shelves.

From it, Chen Xuan immediately discovered the beak of the mutated seagull. The orange beak is very eye-catching, even if it is mixed in a pile of colorful materials, it still stands out.

From a rough look on this shelf, there are about twenty or thirty kinds of materials.

"Even here, most of the materials with special properties that we have discovered so far are obtained from living things."

Li Shuo patiently explained to Chen Xuan one by one.

"This is the torso of a mutated mantis. Although the shape of the mantis has not changed much, its body is very strong. We found that its body tissue seems to be turning into a metal-like substance, and its two front legs are like Nepalese army knives. .”

"This is the venom gland of a mutated spider. The poison is much stronger than before. When the survivors in the camp found it, two people were poisoned to death immediately."

"There is also this shell that the survivors picked up on the coast. It is quite strong. We originally wanted to make it into equipment, but found that its plasticity is not strong. We are looking for other ways to use it."

"This is an underwater coral tube. This is a good thing. After mutation, it has a strong filtering performance. It can directly filter and purify seawater into fresh water. Thanks to the discovery of it, the drinking water crisis in the camp was alleviated."

"This is the venom gland of a mutated snake. Its teeth and snake skin are as poisonous as a spider's. Moreover, its snake skin is quite strong. Fortunately, its weakness is still there, otherwise it would be really impossible to deal with."

"Mutated snake?"

Chen Xuan suddenly thought of the mutant python that Xu Feng was talking about.

　I'm really busy today, so I can only update it temporarily. I'm really sorry everyone, I'm really sorry, I hope you understand.
