The microbiology laboratory, including Wei Shiqing, Bai Jianwu, and the leading researcher Li Renzhe, all placed great emphasis on the Mutated Red Spirulina, especially since it had also acquired the approval of Zhao Yi. They all participated in the testing work together.
After three days of detailed testing, the characteristics and detailed data of the fifth generation of Mutated Red Spirulina were detected and listed on a form.
Zhao Yi was in the School of Sciences office when he received the form. He was working on spatial mathematics research and imdiately stopped his thoughts to look over it.
"The fifth-generation Mutated Red Spirulina can perform a process similar to photosynthesis in plants, yielding large organic molecules as the product of the reaction. Subsequently, it synthesizes a large quantity of acidic enzys to support intracellular tabolic operations."
"These acidic enzys can decompose various organic substances, including proteins, whose products continue to participate in processes similar to plant photosynthesis."
"This forms a tabolic cycle. In other words, the growth and reproduction of Mutated Red Spirulina primarily rely on the decomposition of organic matter."
"But at the sa ti, it also secretes a significant amount of oxygen."
"The process of the reaction is similar to plant photosynthesis, and the volu of oxygen produced is also quite substantial—"
Zhao Yi carefully examined the data.
The data was obtained from a one-day test, providing only a general range, but it was still highlighted as a key point. One glance at it and a rough estimate made clear just how astonishing the data was.
The fifth generation of Mutated Red Spirulina produced an imnse quantity of oxygen. With just one square ter of Mutated Red Spirulina, the volu of oxygen tabolically produced could match that of a small cluster of shrubs.
This was a truly remarkable data point.
One square ter of Red Spirulina might sound like a lot, but in reality, it’s calculated in ’single-layer deploynt’. The total amount of bacteria in the laboratory’s cultivation tanks was enough to cover several square ters.
There was also another data point, "When the oxygen concentration in the air exceeds twenty-five percent, Red Spirulina dies off in large numbers. The death process of Red Spirulina is a reversal of tabolism, that is, the massive decomposition of acidic enzys, absorbing oxygen and converting it into carbon dioxide, and finally dying from nutrient loss?"
"This—"
"So that’s how it is!"
Zhao Yi finally understood what was happening. No wonder the cultivation tanks where large amounts of Red Spirulina had died even took on a different color.
Additionally, not all the bacteria in the cultivation tank died. A portion always survived, and those that did were in very good condition, seemingly unaffected by any adverse impacts.
This was probably the way Mutated Red Spirulina survived and reproduced.
Even in ’extrely harsh’ conditions, they activated their species’ genetic defenses and used a reversal of tabolism to release the carbon dioxide needed for survival and reproduction. This provided other bacteria with a better environnt to live in.
"I guess, this is a kind of bacterial greatness!" Zhao Yi said, deeply moved by the report.
Every species has its own way to live.
Many organisms, in order to reproduce, are even willing to sacrifice their lives. Even sothing as tiny as Red Spirulina does this, giving up and sacrificing itself in the hope of providing a better environnt for its kind.
Don’t humans do the sa?
Many heroic figures are willing to sacrifice their lives in hard tis to provide protection for others, to create a better living environnt.
Even if they know their role is minor, they’ll do it without a second thought.
That is why they are heroes.
"Magnificent!" Zhao Yi felt that Mutated Red Spirulina too deserved praise. However, under the laws of survival of the fittest, Mutated Red Spirulina could only be used as a tool.
That was an unavoidable reality.
What Zhao Yi found even more significant was the potent effect of the Mutated Red Spirulina’s tabolism in producing oxygen.
Even the current data were impressive. If used in a Lunar Base, it could completely replace the role of plants.
And it was not just about the Lunar Base. In the industrial system, the role of Mutated Red Spirulina could be even more significant.
For example, in wastewater treatnt and organic waste processing.
Using Mutated Red Spirulina could clean out the organic matter while simultaneously breaking down a large amount of oxygen.
In the food processing and dical fields, Mutated Red Spirulina might also play a significant role.
Of course, there was much more to uncover gradually.
After looking at the data report, Zhao Yi imdiately went to the microbiology laboratory. As soon as he entered, he couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "I saw the report, it’s incredible!"
"Such an astounding discovery and research! Congratulations Old Li, you’re going to be famous!"
Li Renzhe was analyzing the data with Wei Shiqing. The experintal research was mainly conducted by the two of them, with Bai Jianwu also participating and jointly testing the Red Spirulina.
Although Bai Jianwu was not part of the experint team, he was a pillar-level researcher in the microbiology lab, and since the research would include a portion from the microbiology lab, he was directly involved.
"I always knew this research was incredible," said Li Renzhe with a beaming smile. "But thank you for the heads up, Zhao Yi."
"No problem, it is remarkable indeed!"
Zhao Yi didn’t tear the project down but rather said, "This research could have further directions. I think it’s possible to continue the cultivation, such as adapting it to a variety of environnts or further enhancing tabolic strength."
Everyone in the lab listened intently.
"That’s also a direction for mutation research," Zhao Yi explained. "If it can be further strengthened in one aspect, the potential for future applications will surely be even broader."
