Rigid Carbon-Chitin Skin—the High Temperature-Resistance Function |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Human skin can only endure temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius. High temperatures can stimulate the pain receptors on the skin, inducing pain to make blood vessels dilate and causing the skin to turn red and then get rid of the heat. In addition, high temperatures can increase tissue temperature, accelerate cellular metabolism and the osmosis and transfer of body fluids, reduce blood viscosity, increase the flow of blood and lymph and the mobility of white blood cells, induce inflammation and suppurative reaction, cause tissue necrosis and lead to systemic infections. The Rigid Carbon-Chitin Skin of the New Human Line is synthesized from collagen, fibrin and chitin nanofibers. Since chitin is a long-chain polymer structure with molecules tightly and firmly bound, it can be decomposed only when the temperature is as high as 390 degrees Celsius and will not dissolve in common weak inorganic acids, organic solvents or alkali liquor. Therefore it can resist high temperature. The pictures below show different skin conditions of Mr. Yuan Lin, the first New Human Line that has successfully evolved from Homo sapiens, after his thigh was scalded by a nearly 100℃ boiling hot soup. Picture 1: The skin becomes red after scalding.
