As the question was raised, the atmosphere between the two gradually grew strained.
After a long silence, Mao Zhengzhi let out a soft breath and shook his head firmly.
"We're going in the wrong direction. We shouldn't be focusing on the deep-sea fluid."
"Making deep-sea fluid with roughly the same density as air is practically impossible!"
Lü Yongchang said nothing and merely nodded in silence.
He raised his head and looked at the white mouse beside them, several tubes inserted into its body as it lay quietly submerged in the pale yellow deep-sea fluid.
Gradually, his dull eyes began to brighten.
"Say..."
Lü Yongchang spoke in a slightly low voice. "Why don't we insert the tubes directly into its lungs?"
"Like a feeding tube-inject the deep-sea fluid straight into the hibernating mouse's lungs, then use the tubes to help circulate it?"
Mao Zhengzhi's eyes lit up!
"That's right!" He slapped his thigh hard, looking a little excited. "That makes sense! Since they can't inhale the deep-sea fluid after entering hibernation, why don't we just pump it straight in?"
As he spoke, he eagerly got to his feet and walked over to the lab bench.
The laboratory was well stocked with equipment, and before long, a thin tube resembling a feeding tube lay before Lü Yongchang.
Unlike a simple feeding tube, the main tube of the "lung tube" branched into two slender tubes at its tip, accounting for the fragility of lung tissue and the presence of both a left and a right lung.
Once the device was finished, a new problem emerged.
Unlike a feeding tube, the lung tube was clearly far more difficult to insert.
For one thing, the airways within the lungs formed a complex network.
For another, lung tissue was extremely fragile.
As a result, merely inserting
