Chapter 0475 Biological Laboratory
Talented predatory alien insect!
According to the experimental data statistics of the chip, this alien insect can only carry out talent plundering once in its life, which is the moment when it evolves from a larva to an adult.
And its plundering also has its limitations.
17% of the gene fragments are the upper limit of the talent ability of this alien insect to plunder the host. If this upper limit is exceeded, too many foreign gene fragments will cause its original genes to become unstable, thus causing the gene chain to collapse.
And this obviously cannot achieve Grimm's goal of obtaining 100% of the gene chain of the target organism!
The wizard world is so powerful and prosperous that even Grimm himself does not believe that no wizard has ever discovered the strange ability of this alien insect. However, due to the fact that the wizard world has not yet developed a complete microscopic system, even the most powerful wizard in this world can only extend the tentacles of witchcraft to the level of material molecules.
Going down, when witchcraft research enters the atomic level, high-level wizards become helpless.
This is actually a necessity!
In the previous life, the earth was a low-magic world, lacking the existence of extraordinary powers, so precise science emerged. Even the most ordinary human can see a more subtle level of material molecules through auxiliary facilities such as microscopes.
In the social environment of high magic, no matter how difficult it is to cure a disease in mortals, it can be treated with a small "removal technique". If it doesn't work, a bottle of healing potion prepared with the water of life can also bring people back to life and rejuvenate.
It is precisely because of the convenience and magic of extraordinary powers that all wizards regard witchcraft as the only way to solve problems when they encounter difficulties. This has also led to a serious lag in natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, and precise sciences in various material planes.
And these have inevitably been replaced by a certain system of witchcraft!
The organ transplantation that the earth has also exists in the high magic world, and it is more convenient and more brutal. The wizards involved in the operation do not even need to be proficient in human organs and vivisection, but only need a small witchcraft of "organ activation".
Even though they always make the biological dissection bloody and the operating table is just like a slaughterhouse, the creatures in the high magic world also have super vitality that is ten times stronger than the creatures on Earth. No matter how simple the surgical conditions are or how rough the surgical process is, when the light of extraordinary power shines on them, the dissected objects are still full of energy and violent when they climb down the operating table.
The artificial intelligence possessed by the Earth can also be found in the high magic world, that is, the tower spirit possessed by the top wizard tower.
Even when the earthlings are still worried about the "rebellion" of artificial intelligence, the wizards have already tamed the tower spirit into the most loyal and reliable servant. Many wizards spend their entire lives in their own wizard towers. Some particularly infatuated wizards even merge the souls of their lovers who died halfway with the tower spirit in order to achieve the goal of staying with their lovers for life.
And the technology of stripping the soul and merging the soul with matter is a level that is difficult to reach even when the earth's technology has developed to a very high level.
Therefore, in two different environments, similar material conditions gave birth to two completely different civilizations.
Technological civilization and witchcraft civilization!
As a witness of two civilizations, Grimm himself is a real wizard, but the chip in his mind is the crystallization of technological civilization. Therefore, when he tried to combine the two civilizations, he also had a life pattern and soul level far beyond that of ordinary wizards.
When other wizards were in his position, they were still indulging in various conspiracies and power struggles, but he always wanted to uncover the veil covering his eyes and see the truth of this world with his own eyes!
It was this condescending perspective on life that made him immediately aware of the power of this magical alien insect.
Of course, this kind of power is difficult for ordinary wizards to reach. Only individuals like him who have two civilizations can find a feasible solution to bypass the upper limit of gene absorption in a different way.
Therefore, in recent days, Grimm has devoted almost half of his time and energy to the study of alien insects. Although no breakthrough has been made for the time being, several alternatives proposed by the chip have been verified one by one.
At present, Grimm is working hard to extract the mysterious substance that can plunder life genes from the body of the magical insect. And this is undoubtedly extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming!
…………
This is a biological laboratory full of magical colors.
The entire wall transmits bright and soft colorless white light, illuminating the inside.
But in the center of the laboratory, there are more than a dozen translucent giant cocoons standing tall. Under the giant cocoon is a thick layer of fleshy material, which crawls all over the floor of the biological laboratory like a fungal blanket, and some places even extend to the wall.
The giant cocoon and the fungal blanket are connected by several thick meat tubes. These meat tubes cling to the surface of the translucent giant cocoon, winding like blood vessels in the human heart, and constantly transporting light yellow nutrients into it.
Through the translucent cocoon membrane, you can vaguely see embryos of various sizes floating in the cocoon bubble. Judging from their shape, size and body characteristics, the embryos in these cocoons should belong to different developmental stages after asexual proliferation of the same organism.
In the huge cocoon bubble in the center, the mysterious alien insect that Grimm captured from Medusa was floating inside with its limbs spread out, and even the scorpion tail was hanging limply, as if it was in a state of deep anesthesia.
As for Grimm, the owner of this biological laboratory, he was wandering between the cocoons at this moment, silently observing the evolutionary process and development direction of each embryo.
Due to the lack of precise scientific support, it was simply too much for Grimm to build a biological laboratory similar to the Earth from scratch. Therefore, Grimm borrowed the thinking of Earth's biological science and various means of witchcraft civilization to create such a magical version of the biological laboratory.
The nutrient solution that supports the survival of alien insects and embryos contains almost all the nutrients needed for biological evolution. It is a magical potion carefully prepared by Gargamel, the top pharmacist of the Fire Throne, according to Grimm's instructions and requirements.
Any life embryo put into it can complete the evolution from larvae to mature bodies at the shortest speed under the stimulation of super-concentrated life potions. And this process is still controllable. The concentration of the life potion input at every moment is under the control of Grimm, the master of the laboratory.
Because the alien insects are precious, Grimm could not find the second one even after searching the old spider's nest carefully again. So in order to avoid completely destroying such a precious experimental specimen due to his own operational errors, Grimm first needs to cultivate a large number of substitutes for the alien insect specimens before extracting the alien insect gene fragments.
Although this alien insect is only a larva, Grimm still successfully extracted its life genetic material in the deep scanning of the chip.
So, the next thing is to work hard to cultivate alien insect No. 2, alien insect No. 3, alien insect No. 4...
When the alien insect specimen is not unique, some in-depth work of sample slicing and gene separation can be put on the agenda.
Grimm soon came to a cocoon bubble, in the pale yellow nutrient solution, an irregular piece of meat the size of a palm was floating inside. A dozen long fleshy tentacles hung on the side of the meat and waved constantly, allowing it to swim freely inside like a fish.
Although no body organs such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose can be seen on it, and no secret life cycle system is found in the meat. But when Grimm's eyes were cast on the meat through the cocoon membrane, it stopped all activities like a frightened little beast and sank to the bottom of the cocoon bubble without moving.
Playing dead?
This seems to be a survival ability that only intermediate intelligent life can master!
Could it be that such an inconspicuous "piece of meat" already has the wisdom required by intermediate life forms?
Grimm grinned and sighed silently.
The magic of the life system in the wizard world is indeed beyond the limit of one's imagination. Any past cognition and laws are shackles on subsequent research and exploration. If you want to make progress in this new mystical system, it is most important to get rid of the interference of inherent thinking in your mind.
Grimm silently drew a rune in the air and injected it into the fungal carpet under him.
As the flesh tube coiled on the cocoon membrane trembled slightly, a stream of rich life potion was injected into the cocoon bubble. Grimm lay on the cocoon membrane, staring at the reaction of the "meat block" without blinking.
The meat block that was still "playing dead" began to shake violently under the stimulation of the strong life potion. A dozen fleshy tentacles retracted into the body, and the meat block began to expand and deform.
In Grimm's almost perspective chip scanning and mental perception, the meat block kept absorbing the nutrient solution into the body, and then quickly transformed into the corresponding flesh and blood tissue and internal organs. Some muscles and bones appeared out of nothing, and gradually developed and formed, and then were stretched to the right position by the muscle fibers attached to them, and spliced into the initial model of the future alien insect frame.
This process was magical and mysterious, with both the rigor of life science and the ingenuity of mysterious power, which made Grimm secretly admire it while monitoring.
But just when the skeleton frame of the alien insect was just built, an inexplicable gene shock suddenly destroyed everything.
The chain breakage at the gene level caused the alien insects that had evolved halfway to explode into a bloody sauce.
This time the explosion was so uniform that there was not even a trace of meat left in the cocoon bubble, and it turned into fine blood and flesh, evenly painting the cocoon membrane into a dazzling blood red.
Grimm straightened his waist in disappointment.
In his mind, a series of prompt messages from the chip sounded.
"Ding, the 125th clone sample evolution failed... Reason for failure: gene chain break... It is recommended to destroy the remaining samples..." chapter;
