Chapter 1107: Chapter 19: Flowering in Desperation_2
“I understand now.”
Lin Xian paced around the laboratory, trying to summarize:
“So, only biological entities can undergo ti travel, whether naturally occurring or artificial… even dead cells can do it.”
“Then I want to ask, generally speaking, in those films and shows, space-ti travelers travel naked, based on what you said, does it an wearing animal skin clothing is also possible?”
Gao Wen gave a slight smile after hearing this.
He turned and went to a device resembling a freezer, opened the door, and beckoned Lin Xian to co closer to inspect:
“Your ability to infer is strong, co take a look, this is a [Shuttle Suit] made from otter skin, specifically for space-ti travelers.”
Lin Xian went over to observe.
It was jet black, resembling a tight-fitting suit.
He touched it.
It was cool, smooth, and very resilient, it should be comfortable to wear.
Most importantly, there were no tal zippers or plastic buckles on the entire suit, needless to say, the threads used for sewing the suit were either made from pure cotton fibers or biological threads like animal sinew.
“So that’s how it is.”
Lin Xian recalled the thrilling night before, where the no. 17 Blue-Eyed Girl assassin, was wearing a similar tight-fitting suit, obviously made of animal skin or biotechnology.
Clearly, she had just traveled through ti to this era and hadn’t had the chance to change clothes, whereas previously, whether it was Huang Que, Lin Yuxi, or the counterfeit Yuxi, all wore normal clothing.”
“So that’s how it is.”
From the clothing that no. 17 Blue-Eyed Girl did not have ti to change, it could be deduced the ti point she traveled from, naturally, this also verified a deduction in Gao Wen’s manuscript—
“[Only at the mont of a world-line leap, and the ti when Millennium Stakes are installed, a Space-Ti Rift can appear; thus, the ti of travel for a Space-Ti Traveler cannot be chosen freely, it must be through a Space-Ti Rift.]
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Lin Xian continued pacing in the Underground Laboratory.
Continuing to think.
Could it really be…
Impossible to use the Ti Shuttle Machine to send Astatine-339 to myself in 2024?
He closed his eyes.
Again analyzing all possibilities.
“Hmm…”
Frowning.
Lin Xian stopped walking, coming up with another idea:
“Gao Wen, our bodies, including inside our cells, definitely do not contain tals or elental substances, but, there are lots of tal ions and tallic compounds.”
“For example, the sodium ions in sodium chloride, calcium compounds in bones, and iron ions in hemoglobin cells… these substances are widespread within the human body, in cellular fluid, blood, bones, muscles, and internal organs.”
“So, I have a novel idea.”
“If we could also convert Astatine-339 into a kind of ionic compound, letting it dissolve in blood, dissolve in cellular fluid… and then travel back to 2024 with the ti traveler, subsequently extracting the compound and carrying out a reduction reaction to revert it back to Astatine-339 elent, wouldn’t that work?”
“Just like how the human body contains large amounts of sodium ions existing as sodium chloride, but as learned in high school chemistry, the industrial production of tallic sodium is through the electrolysis of sodium chloride at high temperatures, producing tallic sodium and chlorine gas.”
“So, can we borrow this line of thought? If Astatine-339 ions are toxic, we don’t need to dissolve it in blood or cellular fluid, we can inject it into apple cells, letting the transmigrator carry the apple along during the travel!”
Lin Xian felt, this thod should be feasible!
There are lots of inorganic substances inside the human body, and they can still undergo ti-travel; it seems like the current rule is just that elental substances aren’t allowed to travel.
Astatine, although a radioactive non-tallic elent, has very special properties, so Lin Xian rembered it clearly from chemistry lessons…
When Astatine dissolves in water, it can form cations like a tal, as well as anions like a halogen, truly a miraculous radioactive elent.
Since Astatine-339 ions can dissolve in water, blood, and cellular fluid.
Then his recent idea theoretically has no issues!
Lin Xian looked at Gao Wen with hopeful eyes.
This ti…
Gao Wen did not shake his head but gave a look of approval:
“I must say, Lin Xian, your brain is indeed very bright, originally, Chen Heping had also put forward the sa notion as you.”
OK.
Hearing this, Lin Xian’s excited heart instantly went cold.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The dream collaboration between Gao Wen and Cat Dad, as the ultimate geniuses in human history, wouldn’t they have thought of sothing even he could co up with?
Gao Wen said as much.
There’s no need to think further.
This idea wouldn’t succeed.
As expected.
Gao Wen continued to explain:
“Do you rember what I just said? That cot ca from an outer space-ti, an outer universe, and the elents it brought from that outer space-ti, outer universe were likewise. The reason I said all elents from the cot are valueless is because…”
“[These foreign elents do not react with any substance in our universe, their stability is unimaginably high.]”
“Even though Astatine-339 is a radioactive elent, can you imagine? It has absolutely no half-life in our universe! This is the most amazing point about Astatine-339, and why it can be used to make the calibration module in the Ti Shuttle Machine.”
