"After landing, you must be careful not to turn on the lights, understand?" Wang Liang reminded on the way.
"understand!"
"After landing, follow Dr. Wang's orders." Wang Liang continued.
"Yes!"
The landing craft shook slightly, and everyone landed safely. All the windows of the landing craft were completely covered. Even if the lights were turned on inside, there was no trace of light outside.
Wang Liang and the others walked out in the dark.
"Although it's still a little light, it feels really good to be down-to-earth!" Wang Liang couldn't help but sighed.
"Do you think there are planets suitable for human habitation in this vast universe?" Fang Meng asked.
"There must be, or would that unknown force stay in space forever?" Wang Liang replied, "Anyway, I don't believe it."
Wang Jianwei took a plastic petri dish, took a handful of soil from the ground, and then covered it. Five samples were taken in this way, and then five empty petri dishes were placed on the ground. After a period of time, the lid was closed. Lid walked straight back to the landing craft.
Before entering the landing craft, the two took off the outermost layer of dust jackets, passed through the air shower, and then entered the landing craft.
"Don't turn on the lights yet, I'm worried that this kind of microorganism will be carried in the air." Wang Jianwei said to his two assistants.
If there were any in the air, there would definitely be in the five empty petri dishes. Wang Jianwei first put the other petri dishes in the dark room.
The five empty petri dishes were placed on the test bench, which was completely made of hard plastic, and the source was naturally the factory system in the farm game.
Wang Jianwei directly put a small piece of iron into the five petri dishes, and then turned on the light to observe carefully.
There were no rust spots on the five iron blocks, and the possibility of the existence of such organisms could be basically ruled out in the air.
Wang Jianwei took out a soil sample, then threw a piece of iron into it, turned on the light source, and the piece of iron rusted and corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wang Jianwei observed the stacks under a microscope and performed a chemical analysis of their final products.
It was eventually found that this was indeed an iron-eating microbe that, under the action of light, could rapidly convert iron into iron sulfide.
Wang Jianwei conducted high temperature and ultraviolet inactivation experiments on it, and found that both sterilization effects are good.
After reaching these conclusions, Wang Jianwei sealed up the samples he took of the bacteria.
"Be careful, if this thing is leaked, our entire battleship will be finished." Wang Liang repeatedly urged.
"Master, I understand, don't worry!" Wang Jianwei replied.
Wang Liang agreed to keep this strain sample, not because of Wang Jianwei's request, but because he thinks this thing is a double-edged sword, if used well, it may be a great weapon against the enemy.
"Release the news and tell Liguo and Xiong'ou Base that the iron-eating bacteria can be inactivated by high temperature and ultraviolet light, and let them find a way to mine!" Wang Liang said.
"Then how are we going to pick it?" Qin Feng asked.
"It's simple, all mining machines are equipped with ultraviolet sterilization lamps, and they should be irradiated for a while before work." Wang Liang said.
"Okay, let's do it first!" Qin Feng immediately installed an ultraviolet lamp on the mining machine in front of them, and then turned it on for half an hour.
This time is Wang Jianwei's suggested time, and this length of time can already kill 99% of the above iron-phagic bacteria. This is the name Wang Jianwei gave to this bacterium.
