Chapter 418 International Scientific Research Station

The public is usually belatedly aware of the melting of Antarctica when it is particularly evident and only discovered through media reports.

They are worried about some foreseeable dangers. As long as they read some information roughly, anyone knows that the large-scale melting of Antarctic glaciers, Arctic sea ice, and mountain glaciers will definitely lead to sea level rise.

Major countries in the world have thousands of satellites scanning the earth, and they are also deploying monitoring stations around the world.

Especially in the Antarctic region, major countries in the world have scientific research stations to monitor changes in the Antarctic region at any time.

The temperature in the Antarctic region has just begun to rise, and the top leaders of various countries have already heard the news.

They are not worried about rising sea levels due to melting Antarctic glaciers.

The annual melting rate of Antarctic glaciers is limited, even if there is no channel for transporting water resources from the earth to outer space.

There are many arid and water-scarce countries in the world. They dig several large reservoirs to store fresh water after desalination of seawater.

This would account for most of the water that Antarctica's glaciers melted into the ocean.

Coupled with rising global temperatures, the ocean evaporates faster, and more water evaporates into the atmosphere.

Now there are too many means to regulate the total amount of seawater, and the world's major powers are not worried about this problem at all.

World powers are getting nervous when they learn about the melting Antarctic glaciers, but for another reason.

Ancient microorganisms and plant seeds are sealed in Antarctic glaciers.

The natural world is very amazing. Even after a long period of dormancy, some organisms will still resume their corresponding activities when they wait for a suitable environment.

There is a species of frogs in North America that can keep their cells dormant at minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Once the temperature rises, their cells will resume life activity.

For high-value livestock, embryos can be preserved through frozen embryo technology, and the cell viability can remain unchanged for decades.

But these are to preserve the life activity of animal cells in a short period of time.

However, existing biological theories cannot support that animal cells that have been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years are still alive.

However, there have been examples in the world that prove that microorganisms and plants can still maintain life activity even after tens of thousands of years.

With global warming, the tundra in the Arctic Circle began to melt. It not only released a large amount of methane gas, but also released many ancient microorganisms.

Most ancient microorganisms are not adapted to the current environment and will die soon.

But there are some ancient microorganisms, like invasive species, very adapted to the current environment, causing huge damage.

Huaxia collected the lotus seeds of the thousand-year-old lotus, and after cultivating them, the lotus flowers grew again, and the ancient lotus flowers that were very different from the current lotus flowers bloomed.

The world's major powers are trying to prevent the release of microorganisms in Antarctic glaciers into the ecological environment, causing irreparable damage to the world.

Certain plant seeds inside Antarctic glaciers are regerminating, causing species invasions.

All major countries in the world have jointly established an international scientific research station in Antarctica. They have brought together top biologists from various countries to continuously monitor the ancient creatures released by Antarctic glaciers.

Antarctica International Research Station, which is located in the hinterland of Antarctica. There are often blizzards here.

Wang Yunjie was walking around the Antarctica International Scientific Research Station in a thin self-heating protective suit.

He threw the small dried fish in his hand to the colony of emperor penguins who often come to the international scientific research station.

These emperor penguins are used to being fed by people. When they feel hungry, they come to the international scientific research station to show off and wait for people to feed them.

Wang Yunjie walked into the International Scientific Research Station. The layout here is similar to that of the general laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Italian scientist Vermeer saw Wang Yunjie walk in, he gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: Yunjie, the experimental equipment donated by you from China is too advanced, and the analysis results can come out very quickly.

The proliferation of scientific research equipment is very fast. When you return to China, your country's laboratories will have already purchased these equipment. Wang Yunjie speculated with a smile.

A wet middle-aged man walked into the international scientific research station. His whole body was wrapped tightly.

Robert took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel.

He resignedly complained: If it is not for participating in international project cooperation, you can accept the transformation of longevity light technology and live longer, who would want to suffer here in Antarctica.

Wang Yunjie asked: Robert, did you fall into the ice hole again?

As temperatures in Antarctica warm and the ice sheet thins in places, nothing appears to be wrong on the surface.

Vehicles walking in these places will directly crush the thin ice layer, and even people and equipment will fall into the ice hole.

Robert sighed: In such a bad environment, we won't be assigned a flying car.

I went to collect samples from the auto-collection box, and on the way back somewhere the ice broke, and luckily there was water in it, or I might have broken another bone.

I will rest for the next few days, and it is your turn to collect samples.

If you don't want to suffer, we collectively apply for a flying car for our international scientific research station.

After Robert finished speaking, he greeted the outside, and the intelligent robot came in carrying a small box.

He handed the box to Vermeer and said, These are the samples collected this week, please analyze the results quickly.

Wang Yunjie and Vermeer brought the samples collected by Robert into the laboratory.

There are more than 10 scientists in the laboratory, and almost every well-known big country has sent a scientist to join the international scientific research station.

Their main purpose is to understand the situation of the international scientific research station.

If it is found that there are highly harmful microorganisms, they can first learn about the information and prevent them.

If valuable ancient creatures are found, they can also grasp the information in advance.

The scientists used advanced instruments to quickly complete the analysis of the samples.

The collected microbial DNA is compared with known microbial DNA.

As soon as undocumented microbes are found, scientists start testing those microbes for their hazards.

After intensive testing, the scientists quickly obtained the test data.

Each scientist receives a copy of the final test results.

Wang Yunjie looked at the test results in his hands, and they really discovered something new this time.

This week, a total of 5 microorganisms that have not been entered in the database of known microorganisms were found in the atmosphere, water sources and animals in Antarctica.

After DNA sequencing, 4 kinds of microorganisms are revived ancient microorganisms.

Among the five newly discovered microorganisms, three microorganisms are not suitable for the current environment, and it is difficult for them to reproduce in nature.

Of the remaining two types of microorganisms, one type of microorganism is harmless and is not worthy of attention at all.

Another microbial host cell is sheep, which can cause disease and death in various types of sheep.

Scientists have started to study the vaccine, and after the vaccine is successful, it is recommended that all countries in the world vaccinate farmed sheep and wild sheep.

They need to establish a robust immune barrier before the creature spreads out of Antarctica.

This is their daily work. Wang Yunjie knows that it is important to save sheep, and more importantly, to discover microorganisms that are harmful to humans in advance.

Before it spreads, an immune barrier must be established and specialized therapeutic agents must be produced.

Now the development of biotechnology is very good. As long as human civilization is given a certain amount of preparation time, any microorganism can be contained, and it is impossible to cause serious damage like major infectious diseases such as influenza.
