Chapter 394 Magna

"So, why are you looking for me?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes were filled with the word "threat".

Fang Xu, who was "caught", had a wry smile on his face, clasped his hands together, and repeatedly begged for mercy: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"Mao Zhengzhi's project has made some progress. I just wanted to report the good news."

Looking at Lu Yongchang's face, Fang Xu directly gave half of the blame to Mao Zhengzhi without saying a word.

When he heard that it was about the biology laboratory, Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became more serious.

"How to say?"

When Fang Xu saw this, his eyes lit up with joy and he quickly started to explain.

After some explanation, Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that I have to go to the biology laboratory first..."

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "I didn't expect the progress to come so fast. I thought it would take at least a few months to hear any movement..."

Fang Xu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I have to go to the biology laboratory."

"If you go, maybe the progress of the experiment can be accelerated!"

Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu with a half-smile.

"What did you just see?"

Fang Xu subconsciously said: "You and Su Yutong..."

Suddenly, he swallowed and shook his head: "No, no, no, I didn't see anything!"

Lu Yongchang nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted Fang Xu's shoulder "gently": "Very good."

"Make sure you remember your answer now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the biology laboratory.

Only Fang Xu was left standing there with an annoyed face.

So good, why do you want to go to Lu Yongchang's office?

If he had known this would happen, he would have just sent a message.

How could something like this happen!

…

Biological shipboard laboratory.

Lu Yongchang felt the brisk atmosphere in the laboratory as soon as he entered the laboratory.

Obviously, the progress mentioned by Fang Xu has lightened the burden of all scientific researchers a lot.

Mao Zhengzhi, who was sitting in front of the experimental table and concentrating on operating the holographic interface, suddenly felt that the brightness of the laboratory had dimmed a bit.

He frowned and raised his head to look at the light above his head.

A familiar figure.

Mao Zhengzhi was stunned and said with a look of astonishment: "Professor Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Yongchang was looking at the information in the holographic screen with relish.

Hearing Mao Zhengzhi's voice, he waved his hand and said, "You go about your business first."

"I'll just see for myself."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded, without saying any polite words, and immersed himself in his work again.

…

Lu Yongchang carefully moved two steps to the side, waved, and pulled the holographic projection on the side in front of him.

Looking at each item of information, his eyes became brighter and brighter!

In the information, one kind of creature is mainly introduced.

A creature from Proxima b.

Magna.

This is the name given to this huge creature by the Proxima Centauri civilization.

Magna, land viviparous animal.

Extremely large in size.

The largest adult individual can reach 35 meters in length.

Weight enough to reach over 70 dens.

It can be called a terrestrial blue whale.

Due to its large size, Magna is slow in movement.

According to the information left by the Proxima Centauri civilization, the last Magna died about 500 years ago.

The cause of the extinction is, on the one hand, the hunting of Proxima Centauri, and on the other hand, the reduction of the habitable environment.

As for why we mentioned this extremely large creature, we naturally have to start from another aspect.

Proxima Centauri b has a surface gravity of 1.1g.

Normally, in such an environment, such a large animal cannot exist on land.

Just like the earth.

Under 1g gravity, the largest animal on land since modern times should be the African elephant.

An adult African elephant can reach a maximum height of 4.1 meters, and the heaviest weight recorded is 13.5 meters.

The only larger ones are creatures in the ocean, such as blue whales.

Push forward.

Until the age of the dinosaurs.

The largest dinosaur that humans can determine is probably Argentinosaurus.

The body is more than thirty meters long and weighs 73 meters.

It can be said that Magna of Proxima b is equivalent to the existence of Argentinosaurus!

Under 1.1g gravity, it is almost impossible for this kind of creature to appear!

Neither bones nor internal organs can withstand such pressure under normal circumstances.

"It's unbelievable..." Lu Yongchang muttered to himself as he looked at the information in front of him.

I don't know when, Mao Zhengzhi completed his work and quietly came to Lu Yongchang.

"Yeah, it's unbelievable." Mao Zhengzhi's voice came from the side.

Lu Yongchang turned his head and glanced at Mao Zhengzhi.

“From the beginning, I was going to look for inspiration from the creatures on earth.”

Seeing Lu Yongchang turn around, Mao Zhengzhi continued with emotion on his face.

His emotion successfully aroused Lu Yongchang's curiosity.

"Then what?" Lu Yongchang quickly took over and asked.

"What else can be done?" Mao Zhengzhi shrugged, "To solve this problem, I must check out the giant creatures in the biobank."

"Those terrestrial animals in modern times on earth obviously cannot meet my needs."

Lu Yongchang nodded.

Indeed.

To solve this problem, we can only find experience from some extraordinary creatures.

"So I tried to check the database of Proxima civilization." Mao Zhengzhi pursed his lips, "Here, this is it."

"To be honest, I am really grateful to Proxima civilization."

"They actually kept the gene samples of Magna."

"This has reduced a lot of burdens for our experiments."

A trace of surprise flashed in Lv Yongchang's eyes.

"This..."

"This is indeed thanks to Proxima civilization..." He said with a strange look.

"By the way." Mao Zhengzhi suddenly became excited, and he reached out to drag the holographic image next to him.

"Do you know how these Magna overcome the influence of gravity?"

"According to the anatomical data left by Proxima civilization, the surface of the internal organs of these Magna is actually covered with a layer of reticular membrane!"

"Reticular membrane?" Lv Yongchang frowned and repeated Mao Zhengzhi's words.

"Yes!" Mao Zhengzhi quickly operated and called up a copy of the latest data.

In the holographic images, the surface of each huge organ is covered with dense white grid-like substances.

It is like a tight net that holds the internal organs.

"These reticular membranes should be their magic weapon to resist the gravity of Proxima b."

"Besides that." Mao Zhengzhi quickly flipped through the holographic images in front of him, excitedly showing various research materials to Lu Yongchang.

"Their genes are very different from ordinary Proxima creatures."

"Stronger heart muscles, stronger lungs, thicker blood vessel walls, increased bone strength..."

"Based on the research during this period, we have successfully locked on more than a dozen gene fragments."

Mao Zhengzhi smiled and opened the last holographic projection, which showed a genome that was completely different from that of Earth creatures.
