Chapter 047: Anatomy Teaching
Early the next morning.
The sun rises in the east, and the sky is clear as if it has been washed by water. In the forest, many animals return to normal after a night of madness.
The sound of "squirping" sounded, and the animals of the forest walked out to the waterhole at the bottom of the hill and lined up to start drinking. Many of the animals are scarred, and some have missing arms and legs.
Pandora watched quietly by the waterhole, and didn't show anything out of the ordinary, even though she had been attacked by many crazy animals last night.
In fact, most of the animals that can come here to drink water today have not participated in the battle against the hill, or they would have fallen under her tree trunk or fallen in the flames of Grigory.
After a night of madness, all the animals behaved very honestly at this time, even the wild boars, who usually love to cut in line, also lined up obediently.
Pandora nodded in satisfaction, turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as she turned her head, she suddenly sensed something, and turned back sharply, and saw that the wild boar was about to arch forward, arching while carefully looking at her, and then looked at each other......
This time, Pandora didn't make a move, and the wild boar that was caught walking out of the group and walking towards the back of the line with his head down.
Pandora stood in place, looking directly at the wild boar, the wild boar was a little hairy, and finally it was its turn to drink water after a long time, and quickly poured a few sips, and ran away with four legs.
Pandora then turned around and walked back to the hill.
In the clearing at the top of the hill, Richard was busy. The tide receded, but there were not many corpses left, some of which were devoured by their companions, and some of which were burned to ashes by Gregory.
However, the damage caused by the beast tide was not small, at least the buildings that had been built on the vacant land were destroyed: the windmills had collapsed, the mixing shafts had collapsed, and the shallow pools had been flattened......
This can't be stopped, after all, according to the original situation, it is impossible to defend the entire mountain
That's a problem.
Richard's brow furrowed as he inspected the damage and calculated the time it would take to repair it.
Although I don't know how often the beast tide occurs, it is a threat to my own research. Now there is less construction, and if it is damaged, it is damaged. But in the future, if you build a large number of technological buildings by yourself, and the outbreak of the beast tide encounters Gregory's absence, resulting in all the damage, it will be unbearable.
Thinking like this, he sensed something, and when he turned his head to look, Richard saw Pandora appear and stand aside.
His eyes flashed, and Richard exclaimed, "I have some ideas about the tide of beasts in the night. I don't know how often this beast tide will break out......"
"A month. Pandora said.
"Well, a month. Richard nodded knowingly, "That's a month." This is very frequent, and every time it happens, it is considered a disaster. It's not so much of a safety concern, but it's annoying enough. Even if Gregory intervened, it could not be completely eliminated. During the night, several of the buildings I had built before were damaged, and it would take a lot of work to rebuild them. ”
Speaking of this, Richard paused slightly, thought for a while and continued: "This kind of thing, we still have to find a way to put an end to it." One of my options is to build a wall, using a plastic-like earth-based spell to build a wall that surrounds the entire hill. But access would be a problem, and if there were enough mad beasts, they could be stacked up and over the walls.
In this case, it is better to defend than to attack. The effect of the liquid oxygen bomb last night was quite good, although it was not as good as Gregory's flames, but it could achieve the effect of clearing the field in an instant. In fact, there are ways to make more powerful bombs, such as cluster bombs. But time and materials are all issues. ”
"In fact, these two methods are both palliative, not the root cause, if you want to completely solve the beast tide, you still have to figure out the source of the beast tide. At night, I had a sense that the reason for the beast tide should be the reason for the mountain not far away. Richard spoke, gesturing with his hand.
Pandora looked in the direction Richard was pointing, her eyes blinking.
"Scare?"
"It's true, I'm sure. Richard said, "But the specific situation is not clear, I am going to wait until the next beast tide to occur, and then take a closer look." When the time comes, figure out the real cause, and then find a way to solve it once and for all. But it will take that Gregory must be there at that time, because when I perceive it, I can't be affected by the beast tide. ”
"He'll be there. Pandora said with a grimace.
"That's good. Richard nodded, didn't say anything more, turned and walked towards the castle, and found Pandora following behind him, his eyes flashing, "I'm now preparing to dissect a magical creature that I killed yesterday, are you sure you want to be together?"
"......" Pandora did not answer, nor did she deny it.
Richard walked straight into the room on the first floor of the castle.
It was a freshly cleaned room, which had been used as a special laboratory by Richard, and the corpse of the silver rabbit was lying flat on the table in the laboratory.
Yesterday there were a lot of creatures affected by psychic powers, but there were very few magical creatures, and Richard even suspected that the silver rabbit on the table now might be the only one. It's a bit lucky to get the corpse of this magic silver rabbit, but of course, it's the key to study something from inside.
With this in mind, Richard washed his hands with alcohol, put on gloves and began to dissect with a knife.
Glancing at Pandora, who was standing in the doorway with a curious gaze, Richard didn't think much of it, holding the knife and landing on the hare's neck, and then slashing towards it.
Gently cutting open the outermost layer of the silver rabbit's fur, Richard saw Pandora suddenly walk out.
Sure enough, it's still unacceptable.
Richard thought to himself.
Just as he was about to continue the dissection, he saw Pandora reappear, and he didn't know where to move a high stool more than a meter high, walked into the room, put it down next to the table, and sat down.
Originally, Pandora's height of one meter and two was far shorter than Richard, but now sitting on the barstool, she felt a little condescending. Pandora propped her chin with her hands and looked at the silver rabbit under Richard, as if to say: I'll just take a look, you whatever.
Richard had a slight headache.
When I do experiments, think, and study things on my own, I still don't like to have others around me and I don't like to be disturbed. Of course, when I was in the Blue Lion Kingdom, it was another thing to explain to the maid while doing experiments, because it was teaching.
"You're curious?" asked Richard.
"Scared. Noncommittal answer.
Richard couldn't help but shake his head, and the knife in his hand slashed again, explaining as he slashed, wanting to see if Pandora was really curious: "What you see now that I am cutting is the cortex of this silver rabbit, which is the main component of the skin. ”
Pandora nodded.
"Whew. With a light breath, the voice of explanation paused slightly, and then sounded: "Generally speaking, the cortex can be divided into three layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Among them, the epidermis is located under the coat of hair, close to the top of the dermis, and is a relatively thin part, but there are many structures in it, including the stratum corneum, the transparent layer, the granular layer, the spinous cell layer, and the basal layer.
Underneath the epidermis is genuine leather, which is often used to make leather and fur sheets. Generally, there are fibers, substrates, cells and other structures. The main thing is to give the fur elasticity and provide a metabolic site.
Finally, the subcutaneous tissue, which is generally composed of loose connective tissue and fat lobules, adjacing the muscle membrane. It has the functions of preventing heat dissipation, storing energy and resisting external mechanical shocks. ”
After saying this, Richard glanced at Pandora again, and found that Pandora did not have any obvious change in expression, but nodded from time to time.
Uh, okay......
Stroke down hard, tossing the entire chest of the silver rabbit, and Richard continued to speak as he pointed.
"This is the trachea, which is connected to the lungs and ensures breathing. You can see that this silver rabbit has two lobes on the left and four lobes on the right, which is two on the left and four on the right. This is different from humans, who are left and right. Why silver rabbits and humans belong to the same class of mammals, but there is such a difference, can only be said to be natural selection in the process of evolution. ”
Richard said, cutting out the entire lungs of the silver rabbit and putting it in a container. Pandora sat on the barstool and continued to watch, listen, and nod her head. The expression was cold, not relishing, but it didn't show much disgust. Actually, under normal circumstances, Pandora is like this.
Richard shrugged and continued.
"Next to this is the heart, this is the left ventricle, this is the left atrium, this is the left atrial appendage. Well, in general, the atrial appendage is considered part of the atrium. Therefore, it has no independent role, but is only involved in the electrical activity of the heart and the secretion of certain hormones...... And it's a coronary artery, and the reason for that name is simple, because you can see that it goes around the heart for about a circle, much like a crown worn on the heart. And then this is ......"
