A laser beam descended from the sky, penetrating the thick atmospheric layers, significantly losing energy before reaching the ground.
At the center of this area on the ground, there was a cubic block of metallic element placed ten minutes ago.
This is a solid block of tungsten, with a purity beyond the imagination of 21st-century Earthlings.
Through earlier sample tests, researchers discovered that the ant colony digests tungsten metal slowly, using it as bait for testing.
The current test aims to examine the ants' tolerance to high temperatures.
As the power of the emitter continuously rises, the energy level of the laser increases, and the temperature of the irradiated area starts to rise.
Astonishingly, even as the temperature surpasses 3,400 degrees Celsius, causing the tungsten block to begin melting, these white ants continued to bask in the high temperatures unphased, persistently chewing on the gradually liquefying tungsten block and reproducing at an incredible rate.
