Chapter 247: A Test Specimen Falls from the Sky
Recently, Richard discovered another function of the magic pattern in the drifting bottle through research, which is to allow cells to fuse with foreign substances. This substance can be an inactive substance, such as a pigment, a dye, or another active cell.
The cells living in it can quickly absorb foreign substances and make some changes in themselves, and stabilize these changes.
The mechanism is not well understood, but it can be guessed that it is likely to be some kind of modification of genetic material at the DNA level.
This function is obviously very powerful, and the giant squid encountered at sea may have become so strong by fusing a variety of foreign substances through this function. But then again, while powerful, it's hard to use. Because after fusing foreign substances, the performance of the primary cell is not stable, and it is difficult to control the specific direction, just like a mutation.
It was hard to use physically, after all, he didn't want to make his skin tougher and greener, or to make his bones stronger, and cause his hair to fall out.
This kind of magic pattern function with certain side effects is risky to use on him, and if there is a chance, it may be used to try to cultivate some experimental materials that are in demand.
Richard thought so, and quickly wrote down his thoughts on a papyrus scroll, ready to study them later when he had a chance.
After that, after a brief tidying up, Richard began to think about what to study next.
The research of the magic pattern of the drifting bottle has been considered to have completed a stage: some basic magic patterns have been successfully cracked, and the remaining magic patterns are either unclear or too complex, like fusion cells.
Therefore, unless you are prepared to invest a lot of energy and time, it is difficult to get results easily. And he wasn't going to do it, after all, the Drift Bottle was just a windfall, and he didn't want to take too much of the long-term plan.
Besides, instead of studying the functions of the many magic patterns, he is more like figuring out the mechanism of the magic pattern and the core of the spell system, which is the existence that has the possibility of contacting the truth of the world, just like the inference about the "super-heavy nuclear stability island element".
After that, there was the research on the "Spartas Heroic Elixir", and so far some results have been obtained, and the potion that is even more powerful than the original has been successfully produced. However, if you want to go further, for example, some research on the activation of bloodline seeds, it is difficult to carry out, because ...... There are no test products.
After all, unless a person with a bloodline seed can fall from the sky to study him, there are many secrets between the "Spartan Heroic Elixir" and the bloodline seed, and it will not be possible to dig out no matter how many secrets there are.
Richard was thinking about it, but he heard a soft noise in the front yard, as if someone had jumped over the wall.
Well?
......
After Gutas turned over the courtyard, he watched the darkness around him vigilantly, listening to the movement around him. After a long time, there was no one there, so I breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up.
"Whew-"
Gutas let out a cloudy breath and walked to the side, observing the room in the courtyard and muttering to himself.
"No one seems to have lived in this room. ”
"This one doesn't seem to be lived in before, and it doesn't look like a storage room. ”
"And what about this one? Well, no, it's empty, there can't be anything like that. ”
Gutas frowned slightly: "No, according to that fat man's words, this is the right place." Is it in the backyard?"
After Gutas finished speaking, he stepped forward to walk to the backyard, and then saw the light, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Sure enough, it's all in the backyard, so ......"
Gutas pursed his lips and was about to make a move, when the next moment his body suddenly froze.
"Smack!"
There was a soft sound, a hand on his shoulder, and a voice sounded from behind him: "What are you looking for?" or ...... Can I help you?"
"Brush!"
In an instant, Gutas bounced out like a rabbit, his eyes sharp at the man who appeared behind him. At the same time, the blood vessels under the skin bulged rapidly, and the scorching white vapor exhaled from the mouth and nose, and a faint blood-red light reflected in the depths of the eyes.
Richard looked at it, slightly surprised.
Bloodline Seed?!
What did you think just now - unless a person with a bloodline seed fell from the sky to study him, the follow-up research of the "Spartan Heroic Elixir" would be temporarily over.
So, this is a gift from heaven? When did he have this good luck?
Gutas watched Richard's expression change from surprise to surprise and then to smile, and couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, you're not afraid of me?"
"Why are you afraid?" asked Richard.
"I'm no ordinary person!" Gutas said in a deep voice, "Can't you see, I have the power of my ancestors, and I can easily shred your lean body like a little chick!"
"Are you sure?" asked Richard rhetorically, not doing anything superfluous, just snapping his fingers, and with a "poof", a flame appeared on his fingertips.
Before, on the streets, facing many people from the Redsk Gang, it was difficult to use spells to solve them, and they could only use the power of the flesh. But now, in the remote location of your own laboratory, there is not much to worry about.
Flames danced in Richard's fingertips, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
"You ......" Gutas wanted to say it, but it clicked into his mouth in an instant, and his eyes looked straight at Richard. After looking at it for about three seconds, he turned around sharply and ran towards the courtyard wall without hesitation, ready to escape over the wall, his mouth full of unwilling scolding: "Damn! Wizard!"
"Whew!"
Richard struck and cast a multi-layered "Wind Knockback" spell, and the air surged, turning into a solid wall of air, chasing Gutas's body and slapping it.
"Bang!"
With a bang, Gutas was slapped to the ground.
After being knocked down, Gutas did not lose his resistance, and rolled violently, bounced up and continued to approach the courtyard wall, and then was about to jump.
At this time, Richard came behind Gutas, grabbed Gutas by the neck, and then dragged Gutas to the ground.
Gutas stubbornly got up again, ready to flee for the third time, but Richard reached out to lock Gutas's neck.
As soon as he exerted force on Gutas's neck, Gutas's eyes widened, and the whole person fell limply - fainted.
There are two main reasons why it has gone so well.
On the one hand, where Richard exerted his force, was Gutas's carotid sinus. In this area, baroreceptors, which contain the body's special sensory nerve endings, are extremely sensitive to pressure, and when they are hit suddenly or under heavy pressure, they will transmit false high-pressure signals to the nervous system.
After receiving the signal, the body will carry out mandatory and efficient antihypertensive adjustments, resulting in a sudden drop in heart rate, full dilation of resistance blood vessels, and a decrease in blood pressure below the safe line, causing coma.
On the other hand, Gutas's strength is not strong, and in Richard's opinion, it is not as good as the swordsman he met at the swordsmanship conference in "Kairo City" before, who also has a bloodline seed and is called Tuotie. It seems that Gutas's bloodline seed is weaker. Moreover, Gutas really has no fighting spirit, and has been thinking about escaping, so he will naturally be easily cleaned up.
Looking at Gutas who fainted on the ground, Richard's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself: "What a good experimental material, and it is very tenacious, so the vitality should not be weak, it can be used to do a lot of experiments, tsk......"
The next moment, Richard dragged Gutas backwards into the main laboratory.
