Chapter 820: Mutant Plant: Blood Cotton
After looking around the No. 2 laboratory, Su Yang did not find the No. 2 experiment, and he looked at Mrs. Martha of charcoal poison curiously.
Martha led him to the middle of the lab, in front of a test box that looked the size of a wardrobe, and then reached out and gestured, "This is Experiment No. 2." β
Su Yang followed Martha's hand and looked at it, the experimental box was made of glass, and it contained a vine plant that was sinuous like a snake and could move freely.
It is green all over, and the leaves are a bit like maple leaves, and under each leaf, there are two tender plant claws.
This plant was also collected by Su Yang a few days ago, and it was inconspicuous at the time, but I didn't expect Martha to study it thoroughly first.
While Su Yang was looking, Martha also whispered the plant in his ear, "We named this plant [Blood Cotton]. β
"It's the most aggressive and vital creature of all the mutated creatures we've collected."
"Even, if you don't use special equipment, maybe an ordinary adult is not necessarily his opponent."
Saying that, probably afraid that Su Yang would not believe it, Martha gestured to the researcher next to her, and the researcher made an OK gesture. Obviously, they wanted to show Su Yang what this plant was capable of.
After gesturing, the researcher opened the crisper next to him, took out a piece of pork from it, and placed it on the conveyor belt of the test box.
Then he pressed the button, the conveyor belt activated, and a small glass opening on the experimental box opened, and the pork was transported into the small mouth.
It's just that as soon as the piece of pork entered the experimental box, the plant named [Blood Cotton] "crawled" towards the pork as if it had a sense of smell, and the tender claws of the small plant at the bottom of its leaves also stretched out and wound towards the pork.
In just a moment, the plant was completely wrapped around the pork, and the tender little paws of the plant also grabbed the pork directly.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the surface of the pork has been corroded by those small paws and has made small holes.
As the hole became larger and larger, the pork was also corroded and shrunk rapidly, and finally only a puddle of blood-colored liquid remained, dyeing the originally green vine into the color of blood.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Yang's mouth opened wide in surprise for a while. And Martha also explained in Su Yang's ear, "That's why we named it Blood Cotton." β
"He's very aggressive, and his claws secrete a corrosive dissolved fluid that can easily corrode the flesh and fur of animals."
"So every time it hunts, it leaves behind a blood-colored liquid, but because it is bound to the prey when hunting, it causes it to become bright red."
Su Yang nodded slightly.
Seeing that Su Yang was interested, Martha pointed to the claws of the blood cotton plant, and then continued to explain, "According to our research, this creature is similar to plants such as pitcher plants and trapping vines, and they all belong to parasitic plants. β
"But unlike plants like pitcher plants, its predatory organs are its roots, the little paws. Upon contact with its prey, its roots will cling to the organism and release a dissolved fluid that grows inside it. Finally, kill the prey and complete the nutrients that become it. β
"This predation is similar to that of the legendary parasitic plant, except that the predatory organ of the pitcher plant is the sac leaves, while its predatory organ is the roots."
"In addition, there is no such thing as a man-eating flower that can eat people, and the largest known insectivorous plant in the world is a pitcher plant that grows in Java, India, with a capsule leaf capacity of up to eight liters, and is said to be able to prey on small mice."
"So, after we discovered [Blood Cotton], it is now the most hunting plant in the world."
Speaking of man-eating flowers, Su Yang glanced at Martha.
You must know that Martha's monster prototype is the man-eating flower, or the prototype of the man-eating flower: Rafflesia.
Su Yang still remembers that when she resurrected Martha, she saw a blooming flower tattooed between her thighs, and when she was excited, the flower would also sway.
In addition to the "real flower" between the thighs, Martha's thighs, arms, and cheeks also have a tattoo symbolizing a cannibal flower.
That's why Su Yang said before that Martha's monster characteristics made her even more bewitching...
Martha didn't seem to notice Su Yang's gaze, she looked at the blood cotton in the glass case, and then explained, "Actually, if this plant is just aggressive and its predatory methods are dangerous, then maybe we won't be so careful about it." Another characteristic of it is that it is extremely powerful. β
Speaking of which, Martha gestured again to the researcher who had just done the experiment.
The researcher, nodding, put on his protective suit, put on protective gloves, and after making a full set of protection, he opened the cabinet and reached inside with both hands.
Just like the scene just now, as soon as his hand reached in, the [Blood Cotton] quickly wrapped around his hand.
The scientist had obviously done many such experiments, and he didn't panic, but grabbed the blood cotton, reached out and took the hammer handed over by another researcher, and smashed it wildly towards the blood cotton.
Listening to a few "bang, bang", the blood cotton seemed to be enraged, not only did it not have any injuries, but also resisted fiercely, and its little claws frantically drilled towards the scientific researcher's glove.
The scientific researcher was not frightened by the tenacious appearance of the blood cotton, he continued to beat the blood cotton with a hammer, and so on dozens of times. The blood cotton trembled for a moment, then let go of his little paws, and lay dying in the test box without moving.
Seeing this scene, Su Yang was shocked, and thought that the scientific researchers had killed the blood cotton, but after a closer look, he found that the body of the blood cotton was actually still trembling slightly, and the tender little paws were shrunk under the leaves, one by one, as if waiting for an opportunity: it was obviously only scared, and it was not hurt multiple times...
After scaring the blood cotton, the researchers picked up a piece of pork again, threw it into the experiment box, and then closed the experiment box.
As soon as the researchers closed the experiment box, it stretched out its little paws and wound it towards the pork.
After a while, the pork was corroded again, leaving only a puddle of blood...
After watching the whole process, Su Yang had an intuitive understanding of the aggressiveness, danger and vitality of blood cotton.
He felt that this plant, if it was used to guard the home and the hospital, should be a sharp weapon: only if he found a way to restrain it. Otherwise, let alone guarding your own home, maybe even this home will be taken away...
Martha seemed to have guessed Su Yang's thoughts, and as if she had just explained this, she said, "When we were studying blood cotton, we also experimented with it with various substances. In the experiment, it was found that the creature has almost no natural predators, but it is not impossible to restrain it. β
"First of all, its hunting methods are only for animals and not for plants. In other words, plants are not in the category of its prey. Secondly, in the experiment, we found that he did not have any resistance to heated aluminum. β
"So, if we want to use it wisely, then we can plant a circle of weeds at the edge of its growth. With weeds as a barrier, then he won't slip out of the enclosure. β
"And if we feel that it has multiplied too much, we can also harvest it with heated aluminum, or pour liquid aluminium water on its body, and if it touches it, it will curl up and even lose its life."
Hearing this, Su Yang asked curiously, "Why is it afraid of aluminum?" β
Martha corrected, "It's not that I'm afraid of aluminum. Rather, it is afraid of the heated aluminum. β
"This is probably because of the dissolved fluid in its body, and it is rich in a variety of high-valent metal compounds. Once the hot aluminum comes into contact with its body, a displacement reaction occurs, causing the cells in its body to collapse, directly threatening its life. β
Regarding the damage of heated aluminum to blood cotton, Martha just explained it and did not show it to Su Yang. Su Yang guessed that this might be because the stock of blood cotton was not much, so it was still cherished.
After all, Xuemian is not like a golden coconut tree, as long as you bury gold in its roots, you can continue to produce golden coconut fruits, and then further propagation and experimentation.
After learning about the No. 2 experiment, Su Yang highly praised the work of Martha, the wife of charcoal poison: in less than a month after the institute opened, Martha was able to make such an achievement, which was actually really beyond Su Yang's expectations.
It also made him miss the sea serpent even more.
After all, like the sea snake, he knows what he needs, and he does everything possible to get something, and his subordinates are too few.
You take a look at the three shortcomings: as long as you talk to Su Yang, there is no whole sentence. Every day, one word jumps out.
Look at Xiaoha again: although its role is big, its personality is also annoying! This caused Su Yang to often feel that if Xiao Ha didn't have such a big effect, maybe one day he would be angry and directly sew Xiao Ha's mouth shut.
Look at Fei Fei again: it has never regarded Su Yang as its master. I know how to bully Su Yang every day, if it weren't for Su Yang's palm thunder now, maybe I wouldn't be able to move it.
So when you think about it, the sea snake is really a loyal subordinate!
But even nostalgia for the sea serpent is useless. According to Sangu's estimate, with an injury like the sea snake, it will take at least half a year to recover, and then crawl out of the soil.
So Su Yang could only wait silently...
...
And when Su Yang was visiting the scientific research center, at this time, in the center of the magic capital, Qu Xuan's home, Qu Xuan finally waited for his baby girlfriend: Xue Ya.
Xue Ya was obviously coming to Qu Xuan's house for the first time, so even though Qu Xuan said that there was no one at home, when she changed her shoes, she still looked left and right secretly like a frightened bird.
Looking at her like that, it is very similar to a woman hiding in a hidden corner of Qu Xuan's house, and it is a woman who will suddenly pop out when the blood crow is not looking...
So, seeing Xue Ya's cute appearance, Qu Xuan walked to the kitchen with a smile and said, "It's your first time coming to the boy's house, right?" So careful. β
Xue Ya and Qu Xuan have been staying for a long time, and her temperament is obviously much more lively, she secretly looked at it while retorting, "How can there be." I've been to other boys' houses. β
Qu Xuan poked his head out of the kitchen and asked curiously, "Whose house have you been to?" β
Xue Ya proudly stood with a bear, "Guo Xiaoying's family." β
Qu Xuan paused for a moment, and then laughed. He retracted his head, but laughter came through the kitchen, "I feel acceptable to you when you say that." β
Xue Ya shook her wit and was so happy. She changed her shoes, walked around the living room, and after confirming that there were no Tibetans, she politely stopped looking at it and went to the kitchen to find Qu Xuan.
In the kitchen, Qu Xuan was frying vegetables with an apron.
Seeing Xue Ya come in, Qu Xuan raised his head and asked, "How about eating pine nut corn and braised eel tonight?" β
Xue Ya nodded obediently, "Okay." I like these two dishes the most. β
Qu Xuan glanced at her, smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Since you like tonight's dish so much." Why don't we 'fire a cannon' to celebrate? β
Xue Ya was stunned for a moment, but then she understood what Qu Xuan meant. Her face turned red, and she stomped her foot, "You hate it! β
Qu Xuan smiled evilly, "What do you hate here?" How can you not celebrate such a happy day. β
Xue Ya said angrily, "You have too many days of great joy!" When you play a goal, it's a big joy, you have to fire a cannon to celebrate; I was overjoyed to meet me at school, and I wanted to fire a cannon to celebrate; Even eating an ice cream is considered a big joy, and you have to fire a cannon to celebrate! β
"Everyone else is 'only ploughed oxen, not ploughed bad fields', I feel that if this continues, my field will really be ploughed through!"
Seeing Xue Ya's shy appearance, Qu Xuan laughed. His smile was always so bright, and his seven shining teeth sparkled like seven suns.
After laughing, Qu Xuan leaned into Xue Ya's ear and whispered, "Look at you, what's the use of being angry." Since you can't be angry, then work hard and exhaust me! β
"After allβ" he lengthened his voice, then winked at Xue Ya, "I wish to die on you." β
Xue Ya: ...
"Qu Xuan!" Xue Ya was ashamed, and her voice was an octave higher.
But then, her words were blocked by Qu Xuan with his mouth, and then... She was picked up by the princess directly and carried all the way to the bedroom...
For a while, the guns were all famous, and the house was full of "pink", which made people feel young and good...
Apart from...
The dishes that haven't been turned off are still burning there...
So, in the middle of the night, Su Yang received a call from Qu Xuan...
When he received Qu Xuan's call, Su Yang hadn't slept yet, and was reading a book there.
Picking up the phone, Qu Xuan's voice was a little low, "President, have you slept?" β
