Chapter 6 Extraction of
Richard did not listen to what Edward said and appeared in the room of the independent laboratory.
What caught my eye was a spacious room with an area of more than 50 square meters. The walls were very white, and there were several black walnut wood tables on the ground in the middle. It looked like an operating table. Carcasses of boa constrictors.
Around the table, there are many wooden racks, some of which are placed with various instruments, experimental materials, knives, etc., while others are instruments themselves. Most of them are far beyond the current level of scientific and technological development in this world.
To put it simply, in the room where Li Cha is now, the level of technology exceeds the entire era by more than three hundred years, and the scientific thinking contained in it exceeds seven or eight centuries.
Squinting his eyes, Richard stepped towards a wooden frame. There is a handle on the side of the wooden frame, a nozzle under the handle, and a wooden barrel under it.
Li Cha stretched out his hand and pulled it, and put his hand under the nozzle. After a short wait, a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor flowed out of the nozzle and onto his hand.
This is alcohol with a concentration of 75%, which can act as a disinfectant. Li Cha carefully rubbed each finger to make sure that everything was cleaned, closed the nozzle, and shook his palm a few times until there was residual alcohol on his hand. Completely evaporated, and walked to another wooden frame.
He took out a set of knives that had long been sterilized by alcohol, and came to the wooden table where the python was placed.
At this time, Li Cha's eyes fell on the corpse of the python, and he carefully observed this strange creature that could burn flames all over his body.
"The proportion of the head is relatively small." Li Cha measured the python's head with his hands and said. He opened his mouth to see that there were no slender fangs, and said, "Non-toxic, with a flat snout."
"There are 3 pairs of lip sockets." Li Cha looked at the part of the python that was similar to the human upper lip, and saw 3 pairs of depressions, knowing that this was a special structure of the python, similar to an infrared sensor. It allows the python to detect warm-blooded animals in the surrounding environment at night, and to determine the exact location of the animal for tracking and attacking.
"Tan." Richard's eyes retracted from the python's head, and then fell on the python's entire body and back. "The back is yellowish, with arrow-shaped markings and a large number of irregular cloud-shaped markings."
"The abdomen is white." With a slight force, he turned the whole python over, Li Cha looked at the lower body part, where the excretory cavity of the python was, and saw a pair of protrusions, "There are also a pair of degenerated claw-shaped stumps. ."
"In this way, it looks like a Burmese python." After observing, Li Cha said to himself, and the data about this python quickly flashed in his mind:
Burmese python, also known as Burmese rock python, piano snake, double-banded boa, scientific name: Python bivittatus, one of the subspecies of Asian rock python, the third largest python on the modern earth. Known for its huge size, it can reach 7 meters in length and 91 kilograms in weight. The longest Burmese python in the world is 9.75 meters...
"7 meters? 9.75 meters?" Li Cha read aloud, looking at the python that was only more than 3 meters long on the table, thoughtfully, "So, you are not yet an adult. However, if you are not an adult, it can emit up to 1500°C. What kind of effect will the flame of an adult have? Tsk, it really is a magical magical creature."
The next moment, Li Cha took a deep breath, grabbed a knife that had been prepared a long time ago, and stabbed it towards the python's body. With a "puff", the sharp blade easily cut through the python's skin, and with a slight force, it swiped downwards with ease, cutting open the entire body of the python, revealing everything inside.
Reaching out and searching through his internal organs, Li Cha narrowed his eyes.
According to the descriptions of many entertainment novels on the modern earth, magical creatures like the current python,
There should be a "crystal nucleus", "magic crystal" or the like in the body to provide energy for the release of spells.
From a scientific point of view, since a python can burn flames all over its body, it must have more special organs or glands than other pythons.
But none of these were found by Richard.
Li Cha frowned slightly, and finally his eyes fell on the python skin.
He pursed his lips, grabbed the knife and slashed down, quickly separating the python skin and flesh, and soon Li Cha got a complete python skin.
Then under the python skin, Richard found a sticky yellow substance like grease.
"This is……"
Without any hesitation, Richard quickly scraped off the yellow substance a little, took an iron plate from a wooden stand next to it, and put it inside to set it on fire.
With a "puff", I saw orange flames rise into the air, and the air heated up instantly, but the iron plate did not show any signs of being burned red, and it was extremely cold when I reached out to touch it. Looking at the slowly decreasing yellow substance in the iron plate, Li Cha was somewhat enlightened.
"This substance that exists under the skin can penetrate from the scales to the surface, and then burn to generate a high-temperature flame, which is used to attack. At the same time, it takes away a lot of heat to ensure that the body surface is in a low temperature state and is not burned. "
"If you say that..." Li Cha's eyes lit up, "The so-called magic substance should be contained in it. If the grease and impurities are filtered out, then the pure magic substance should be left behind."
"In this case……"
Li Cha didn't go on, but started to do it quickly.
Use a knife to scrape all the golden grease-like substance from the inside of the python skin, put it in a jar, and start the distillation.
Li Cha did it himself, which was naturally much faster than the unqualified ponytail maid outside.
After a while, Li Cha distilled the excess water in the golden oil-like substance, separated the oil and other impurities, and finally obtained a small bottle of liquid with a color similar to rose, which looked like blood, but had no smell of blood.
"A real magic substance?" Li Cha watched the rose-colored liquid narrow into a slit, feeling that some of the answers he was looking for could be solved.
The next moment, Li Cha quickly disinfected with alcohol, washed his hands, picked up the liquid in the bottle and strode out of the laboratory.
By this time, several hours had passed, and it was already dark.
Outside the door, Edward was still waiting, watching Richard come out, he opened his mouth and was ready to continue to persuade him to say something.
Richard waved his hand and said, "Edward, ask someone to clean my laboratory, and then guard the gate of the palace. I have important things to do now, and no one is allowed to disturb me. I won't eat dinner either. The situation will wait until tomorrow."
"Forehead……"
After speaking, Richard walked to the side of the hall, followed the wooden stairs quickly to the second floor, entered his bedroom and the connected study, and closed the door with a bang.
