Unconsciously, four days later, Chang Haitao suddenly froze when he checked No.33 again.

He called up the photos of a few days ago and compared them with today’s photos. He found that the colors of the two radiator plates of detector 33 changed from gray to gray again.
"What is this?" Chang Haitao once again lost in thought.
After reporting this discovery to the expert group, this new phenomenon made everyone interested.
After careful research, they quickly found the key problem, that is, the nuclear pool may be the core factor causing this radiator failure
The expert group immediately decided to let No.33 near the unloaded nuclear pool.
After throwing the nuclear pool before, make sure that the safety team is away from the nuclear pool for more than 700 meters with No.33.
To find out what happened, No.33 turned around and returned again.
The problem was finally found when No.33 approached the nuclear pool disposal position less than 2 meters.
See the nuclear pool is covered with a layer of dark gray things, which are wrapped around the nuclear pool like spider silk.
"What is this?"
"Some kind of Martian creature?"
Everyone was surprised to discuss it. Obviously, this situation is that some creature is growing and reproducing by relying on the heat of the nuclear pool.
No.33 sampling manipulator took several samples and carried instruments to conduct a careful test on this unknown creature.
With the continuous feedback of laboratory data, people finally figured out some characteristics of this strange creature, and what will cause radiator failure.
Chapter seven hundred and forty Strange
This Martian creature attached to the nuclear pool is a fungus.
Although it is not quite the same as fluorescing fungi, it should have a common ancestor from the situation that some gene fragments of both sides overlap.
However, focusing on high-speed mutation is different from the fluorescent fungi, which have relatively stable gene sequences and evolved a unique growth mode-heat-eating.
Thermophilic fungi have very strong thermophilic characteristics, which can resist nuclear decay radiation and absorb heat energy generated by nuclear decay continuously.
In order to study thermophilic fungi, the Ministry of Space urgently called some researchers specializing in the research project of fluorescing fungi.
These professional researchers study the true face of the heat-eating fungi day and night, and finally they are revealed a little bit.
First, it was determined by researchers that nature is the relationship between thermophilic fungi and fluorescent fungi.
They should have a common ancestor or the thermophilic fungus is a specific variant branch of the fluorescent fungus.
After all, the terrible mutation rate of fluorescent fungi is still unknown after such a long time.
Researchers speculate that the fluorescent fungi may have encountered a natural radioactive mining area in the past, or encountered volcanic eruptions and asteroids hitting Mars, resulting in the appearance of mantle radioactive materials on the surface.
Fluorescent fungi encounter this special thermal environment and undergo a series of adaptive evolution to mutate into thermophilic fungi.
In this process, due to the serious gene differentiation, thermophilic fungi and fluorescing fungi gradually differentiated into two relatively independent species.
At the same time, the thermophilic fungi also lost their high-speed variation characteristics and replaced them with thermophilic characteristics and radiation resistance.
The radiation resistance of thermophilic fungi is the strongest known organism among the organisms that researchers have seen.
Of course, there is a similar situation in Bluestar, that is, similar fungi have evolved in the abandoned Chernobyl nuclear plant area, which also has super radiation resistance.
Never underestimate biological adaptability and evolutionary ability, especially those humble microorganisms, who are the real masters of evolution.
The second achievement developed by researchers is thermophilic fungus thermophilic substance.
You know, after the nuclear pool is out of control, the temperature has been maintained at 5~6 degrees Celsius enough to melt many compounds.
Ordinary blue star organisms will disintegrate and deteriorate when they encounter this high temperature.
This is also what we often say, "burnt", that is, the organism protein is not resistant to high temperature and decomposes.
However, thermophilic fungi can withstand the high temperature of 5~6 degrees Celsius to absorb the required heat energy from the nuclear pool.
There must be a secret in this
After research, the root cause of the high temperature resistance of thermophilic fungi finally came to the bottom.
The reason is that thermophilic fungi are "mimicry" creatures, and each fungus seems to be an independent individual, but in fact they have division of labor and sociality.
Thermophilic fungi will adapt to the high temperature environment, and if the environment temperature is suitable, they will directly enter the reproduction mode.
If the high temperature environment exceeds the body’s tolerance limit, they will make another change
According to the data obtained from the study, when the limit temperature of thermophilic fungi exceeds 136 degrees Celsius, the organism will deteriorate and decompose.
Does the thermophilic fungus bear the high temperature of 5~6 degrees Celsius in the nuclear pool?
The reason is that once the high temperature metamorphism meets the extreme high temperature, they will continue to approach the high temperature area by suicide.
Then those thermophilic fungi killed by high temperature will degenerate into a special nanostructure due to high temperature, which can block high temperature and transfer heat in high temperature area to the outside to form a heat energy transfer channel.
This is the dark spider filaments around the anterior nuclear pool. Those spider filaments are the heat transfer channels.
There are also reasons why thermophilic fungi sacrifice some individuals to build heat transfer channels in this way.
Researchers speculate that this should have something to do with the Martian environment. There are three main sources of heat energy for the Martian surface.
One is solar energy, the other is local geothermal energy, and the third is natural high-concentration radioactive minerals.
Because Mars is relatively far from the sun, the heat energy available every day is very limited.
Therefore, local geothermal energy and high-concentration radioactive minerals become very valuable heat sources.
In order to maximize the benefit of this heat source, thermophilic fungi must adopt special methods to maximize "heat preservation"
This is also the reason why the heat dissipation of detector 33 will fail.
Because of the thermophilic fungi, detector 33 is regarded as a heat source, and then the heat preservation function is activated. They prevent the heat energy from radiating to the air, and then the heat energy can be maximized.
It is precisely because of this heat preservation function that the heat dissipation plate of detector 33 appears normal heat dissipation.
At the same time, due to the continuous movement of No.33, the thermal energy transfer channel constructed by thermophilic fungi method did not appear filament, which made Chang Haitao and others not find the problem
However, after the No.33 detector was thrown into the nuclear pool, the thermophilic fungi naturally fell off without a heat source, so that the heat dissipation plate returned to normal.
At the same time, the discarded nuclear pool also grows rapidly around the new target of thermophilic fungi, and then the thermal insulation layer wraps the nuclear pool to realize the thermal insulation function.
After the heat energy transfer channel is built, the area around the nuclear pool becomes a habitat for the growth of thermophilic fungi.
Only then did Chang Haitao and others see the scene where black-gray filaments covered the nuclear pool.
After more than a month’s attempt, the temporary research team successfully reproduced the high-temperature resistant nanostructure constructed by thermophilic fungi.
