Chapter 1222 Reverse Operation



If high-yield explosives were used here, the manor would be reduced to ashes.

Without the manor, they would have to stay in that narrow aircraft, perhaps for a month, a year, or even several years, unable to move.

Xia Chujian intuitively didn't want this to happen.

Therefore, she did not want to continue using high-yield explosives to deal with these Zerg.

And it's not as airtight as a starship.

If she mishandled the operation and let one or two of these Zerg escape, she would be guilty of a great sin...

So is there any way to solve this problem once and for all?

Xia Chujian observed carefully.

She discovered that when these low-level nest builders of the Zerg curled up, their shells looked like real rocks.

And the shape is quite regular, square.

They are stacked together, so the ground is eighty centimeters higher!

I wonder how much explosives would be needed to make a Zerg shell like this...

Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered something.

Is this seemingly airtight shell really that “airtight”?

What kind of thing can penetrate these stone-like shells?

She had killed these Zergs before and knew that although they had hard shells, they were actually carbon-based creatures inside.

As long as it is a carbon-based organism, there is nothing that human weapons cannot deal with.

Now, humanity seems to be losing the war against the Zerg, mainly because of their outer shell...

Xia Chujian stared at the "ground" with hatred, thinking, I can even peel off the crab shells and eat the crab meat, so you bugs are just large proteins with shells!

However, it seems that only the softest and gentlest things can deal with the most difficult and hard things.

No matter how hard the rock is, doesn’t it have holes?

It's just that the holes are very small, and the gas can penetrate through them.

gas……

In a flash, Xia Chujian thought of her method of dealing with the ship of nest builders in the interstellar spaceship.

What if we do the opposite?

She suddenly asked, "Qilu, these Zerg nest builders don't actually breathe oxygen, right?"

Qi Lu said after a while, "Probably not. The oxygen content on that interstellar spacecraft is so low that it can be ignored."

"At the time we thought the oxygen production equipment on the interstellar spacecraft had broken down."

Xia Chujian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I felt something was wrong at the time."

"Because those Zerg nest builders don't seem to need each other's oxygen to survive!"

There was almost no oxygen in the cargo hold of the spacecraft at that time, but those Zerg nest builders could still sit together and move freely.

Qi Lu added, "Before we entered this basement room, the small nuclear fusion engine here was not started."

"A large hole was also punched through the roof, and the entire manor's fully enclosed self-circulating system was completely destroyed. Therefore, the air inside the manor is the same as the air outside."

"The air here on the asteroid has a very low oxygen content, but these Zerg nest builders have no problem at all."

"From this perspective, these Zerg nest builders, unlike the creatures in the Beichen galaxy, do not primarily rely on oxygen for breathing."

Xia Chujian nodded: "I think so too."

"With my limited knowledge of biology, I know that there are anaerobic bacteria."

Qi Lu said: "There are many types of anaerobic bacteria."

"Obligatory anaerobes are extremely sensitive to oxygen. Oxygen is toxic to them and they can only survive in an oxygen-free environment."

"Facultative anaerobic bacteria can grow in both aerobic and anaerobic environments and are very adaptable to their environment."

"There are also oxygen-tolerant anaerobes and microaerophiles."

"Aerobic anaerobic bacteria are not dependent on oxygen, but can survive in an aerobic environment and are not killed by oxygen."

"Microaerophiles are quite special. They need extremely low concentrations of oxygen to survive and cannot grow under the oxygen levels in the normal atmosphere of the Beichen galaxy."

"Excessive oxygen concentrations can also inhibit or kill them."

"Master, what kind of anaerobic bacteria do these Zerg nest builders resemble?"

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that his knowledge of biology was really superficial.

She only remembered that there was an anaerobic category among bacteria, and she didn't remember that there were many different subdivisions under this category.

Xia Chujian said: "What if they are not anaerobic at all? Of course, oxygen is definitely not the main gas they breathe, because they can survive freely in an almost oxygen-free environment."

"Look, they can survive for such a long time even though they are directly exposed to the asteroid's atmosphere."

"There's no need for this manor's fully enclosed, self-circulating oxygen production system."

"For them, it doesn't matter whether the roof is repaired or not."

A thought suddenly popped up in Xia Chujian's mind: Since it doesn't matter to these low-level Zerg nest builders whether the roof is repaired or not, why do they bother to transport those building materials from thousands of miles away?

Before she had time to think carefully, she heard Qi Lu talking and immediately forgot what she was thinking.

Qi Lu said, "So it's similar to oxygen-tolerant anaerobic bacteria?"

Xia Chujian came back to his senses and said thoughtfully, "We'll know if it's true or not after trying it."

A wicked smile appeared on her face. "Qilu, tell me, what would happen if we increased the oxygen input to this energy chamber?"

Qi Lu's childish voice became excited: "We can give it a try!"

Xia Chujian immediately drove his Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mech to the center of the energy room.
