In the distant ancient kingdom of bacteria, high temperatures that suddenly came up mercilessly took the lives of bacteria. In the face of disaster, the King of Bacteria was determined to practice the "thermophilic magic skill" to improve the heat resistance of its cell membrane and protein, and led its group to board the "Noah's Ark" to achieve the reproduction. Bacteria not only adapted to high temperature but also fell in love with it, becoming "thermophiles". Through collaboration with human scientists, thermophiles have played an important role in industrial production and other fields, discovering a "new continent" for realizing their own value.
