The evolution of Zerg
Chapter 17 Research on termite formic acid
Biofilms have major flaws. They cannot store venom for a long time. Zhang Fan has not studied termite venom sacs, and they cannot store venom for a long time.
This highly acidic venom is different from the biological toxins carried by the Zerg itself and cannot be integrated into cells.
It is estimated that war ants are in the same situation, releasing an appropriate amount of toxin at a specific time.
Zhang Fan continued to do experiments when Adam sent a message: "Master, your most loyal Adam has successfully completed the task."
Zhang Fan stopped and asked, "How is the situation now?"
"Master, all the old springtails have been sacrificed on the battlefield. Those ants did not take our great clan seriously. Although Adam was very angry, he followed the master's teachings not to cause trouble and saved most of them. Active forces have entered the termite battlefield." Adam replied to Zhang Fan with a slightly rosy skin.
With a thought, Zhang Fan recalled the picture in Adam's mind.
This Adam had a very hot temper, and he couldn't stand the situation of devouring tribesmen, so he killed the bulldog ants in a fit of anger.
Now things got serious. Of course the ants would not allow the rebels to appear and began to massacre the springtails. The springtails rose up to resist, but when they were halfway through the killing, the ants stopped.
The Golden Feather Ant King was somewhat dissatisfied with the ants' self-assertion. The death of a bulldog ant was nothing, but consuming his own troops would make it unhappy.
All the ants who took action were executed, and then they took one look at the springtails and left.
Next came some battle scenes, which were nothing interesting, so Zhang Fan stopped watching them.
Zhang Fan: "Adam, you did a good job."
Adam's skin became even brighter: "Lord, everything is the result of the Lord. Without the Lord, there would be no Adam. Adam is willing to go through life and death for the Lord!"
Zhang Fan encouraged Adam and then said formally: "Now I am doing research on poisonous baneling insects, and I will share the pictures with you."
Adam received the picture inside the base, a 360-degree panoramic picture with no blind spots.
The dead bodies of some larvae and poisonous banelings were scattered on the ground, and the worker bees were cleaning up these bodies.
Adam saw the problem at a glance: "Master, Adam doesn't know how to praise your greatness. Your idea is really great. You should be thinking about how biofilms deal with formic acid."
"Yes, I have tried many experiments, but they all ended in failure."
Adam continued: "Lord, Adam has a little suggestion, I hope the Lord can adopt it."
Zhang Fan asked curiously: "What suggestions?"
Adam: "Master, under your command, the Springtails went to the battlefield and were exposed to formic acid. This acid is very corrosive. Adam is aware of it, but Master, I don't know if you have discovered anything?"
Zhang Fan: "Oh? Is there anything I haven't discovered? You continue."
Adam: "Master, you have no idea. You must have discovered it. You are testing Adam. Adam knows that although these formic acids are biological acids, their synthesis is indeed an organic chemical synthesis."
Zhang Fan was not ashamed at all and said: "Yes, that's the reason. You have discovered this. Well, it deserves praise."
After hearing this, Adam's whole body radiated with joy and glory, shaking constantly: "Lord, great Lord, your praise is the glory of Adam's life!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I want to see if you think the same as me." Zhang Fan controlled Adam to calm down. He was really afraid that Adam would get too excited and burst his blood vessels and die.
"Yes, Lord!" Adam continued: "Master, Adam can try to separate this acid, analyze its components, and then create this acid through synthetic effects. What do you think, Lord?"
Zhang Fan was very satisfied: "Yes, Adam, I'll leave this matter to you. Complete the task well."
Adam accepted Zhang Fan's order and began to separate termite formic acid. The termite formic acid here was not pure formic acid, and formic acid did not have such a powerful effect.
The elemental component of termite formic acid is still mainly carbon-based. Adam peeled it off bit by bit through bacteria, and very tiny formic acid adhered to the surface of the hairy bacteria.
Hairy bacteria are scientific bacteria specially made by Adam for biological research. Not only that, it also made deep-tube bacteria, bipartite bacteria, slice bacteria and many other bacteria, all of which are under Adam's control.
Zhang Fan also knew about the existence of these bacteria, but he didn't know how to use them. This required strong concentration and micro-manipulation ability. At this time, only Adam had this ability.
The hairy bacteria begin to be gradually corroded by formic acid, and the bacterial surface begins to collapse, but before the end of life, another hairy bacteria has taken over the formic acid.
Formic acid continues to flow on the hairy bacteria, constantly reducing its power.
After the formic acid could no longer harm the hair-growing bacteria, Adam started another job.
It controls the cone-headed bacteria to get close to the formic acid, and then separates the large substances in the formic acid little by little through the very, very fine villi on the top.
What remains after separation is pure acid, which has a weak corrosive effect but will still destroy the biofilm.
Taking this into consideration, Adam extracted the acid into vibrating bacteria. The vibrating bacteria vibrated his body at high speed, gradually breaking up the acid.
Almost out of sight! It doesn't matter, Adam also has thin slices of bacteria, which are specially designed to be used as magnifying glasses.
Working with thin slices of bacteria, Adam clearly observed the acid's internal combination of elements.
An organic acid composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
After knowing their synthesis patterns, Adam began to think about synthesis issues.
This requires a lot of experiments to verify. If you already know the answer, you can complete the task without making any mistakes in the question.
Just take some time. Living things need oxygen to breathe, and living things already contain carbon.
When it comes to the issue of hydrogen, the first thing that comes to Adam's mind is water, but how to extract hydrogen faster and better, Adam is once again troubled.
By the way, the reaction between water and alkali will release hydrogen gas. Adam began to order the worker bees to find some alkaline ores.
The most common element in stones is sodium, which is widely distributed. Adam peeled it off using the same method, and then extracted hydrogen.
The water-alkali reaction produced hydrogen gas. Adam used filter bacteria to wrap them up, and then carried out the next experiment.
Adam was doing experiments on the side, but Zhang Fan received an unexpected gift.
