Chapter 26 Ships and Sea

Buzz-buzz-buzz-

A low humming sound echoed slightly in the air, and the silver-white room was filled with the ionized smell of the air purifier.

Li Heng changed into a white coat at this moment, and now he looks more like a researcher who is really engaged in scientific research.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that there would be such an exquisite and clean laboratory in such a remote mountain village.

Fortunately, Li Heng purchased various drugs and chemicals through multiple accounts and through various channels. Otherwise, if this scene was spread, I'm afraid it would be regarded as some kind of "Frankenstein" or "Breaking Bad".

"Teacher", what kind of shameful deeds are you doing in a small village?

After a few dozen seconds, the buzzing stopped. Li Heng opened the chimeric cover of the centrifuge and slowly took out the test tube inside.

The test tube with a capacity of tens of milliliters is now clearly divided into three different colors of liquid layers. The uppermost layer is the transparent plasma layer, and the lower part is the blood cell layer. The blood cell layer is mainly composed of white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells.

Liquid layer of ingredients.

"The results of staining and microscopic examination of the plasma and blood cells after stratification should be more clear."

Li Heng stared at the test tube, and at the same time looked at the "low-temperature storage library" he had transformed from a refrigerator not far away, which also displayed some white blood cell suspensions, red blood cell suspensions and part of the serum that he had previously separated.

These are reference samples for comparison, and the serum can be used for other chemical experiments, and the results of pre-set chemical reactions observed in vitro can be used to infer the reactions in the body.

The microscope rotates its lens to record the cell-level blood samples in each smear, and then saves them in the built-in memory. In the past few days, Li Heng has generated hundreds of gigabytes of image data.

Next to this microscope, in addition to blood smears, there are also his urine, sweat, tears, saliva, lymph fluid, gastric juice, even X fluid, etc... various body fluids.

It makes people say it has a strong taste!

But now Li Heng is able to play with and inspect the substances he produced without feeling disgusted, without any expression on his face.

Pursuing the path of evolution is really useless if you can't overcome even a little bit of mysophobia.

On the contrary, he will be happy if he can find any useful data from it now. Even if he sees his "son" swimming in it, he can calculate it in his mind. The energy supply of Mi Qingzi is the mitochondria in the tail and the cytoplasm in the head.

The cellular respiration produced and observing its movement, which is the "swimming speed", can infer the energy supply efficiency at the cellular level in your body.

"It has become about 5% stronger again."

Li Heng looked at the active tadpole twisting its strong tail and said to himself.

The body is strengthening step by step, and the reproductive system is also growing. Although it requires a certain amount of conversion to infer his own life intensity through this activity rate, it also indirectly shows that his body is not capable of reproducing offspring even at the level of reproduction.

Completely changed.

"But...if you really look at it from the perspective of reproducing future generations, this is not a good thing."

Li Heng thought calmly as he looked at his "super babies" whose vitality far exceeded that of ordinary men.

"Because these little guys are so energetic! Almost every one of them is a super rice child. Once they enter the mother's body, they will be immediately recognized as invading pathogens by the opponent's immune system and then killed!"

This is the miracle or contradiction of the human body. Whether it is insufficient vitality or excessive vitality, it will lead to infertility.

This is too much and not enough. The way of yin and yang lies in balance and harmony. If yin does not grow alone, yang does not grow alone, and yin and yang do not harmonize and cannot be unified, then there will be no reason for all things to exist.

The truth was revealed thousands of years ago.

"If this is the case..." Li Heng couldn't help but frown slightly, "As I continue to evolve, my body will continue to approach the limit of human biological physique, and may even exceed this limit."

"At that time, my reproductive system may not be able to conceive any woman in the world, because their vitality is too weak to bear and accept it. In other words, there will be reproductive isolation between me and ordinary humans?!"

"If that's the case, can I still be called a human being?"

From the current biological definition, once reproductive isolation occurs, it can be declared to be different species.

However, his current inference is limited to the birth method of natural union. His Mi Qingzi will naturally be rejected by the mother and cannot conceive, but it may be possible through in vitro fusion similar to in vitro fertilization.

Unless, until one day, even his chromosomes and DNA are completely changed and cannot be combined with ordinary humans, maybe at that moment he will truly break away from the scope of the human species.

After thinking a lot, Li Heng temporarily put down his research and test tubes.

This issue involves a very deep level, not only in the field of life sciences, but also in ethics, the definition of human beings and even the philosophy of "what makes a human being"...

For some reason, after thinking deeply about this issue, Li Heng's mood suddenly changed, and he no longer continued to study and explore with such enthusiasm as before.

It wasn't that I was slacking off, but that I suddenly had an unknown emotion, which seemed like reluctance and a little melancholy.

This feeling was like a weakened version of the feeling he had after the breakup.

Inadvertently, a familiar face suddenly appeared in his mind - Chen Xi, his ex-girlfriend, and the only woman he had ever had in his life.

However, the next moment, the tide ebbed and flowed in his mind, and the waves quickly washed away the image of the face that emerged.

Li Heng was slightly anxious and wanted to wave his hand to stay, but he didn't raise his stretched out hand after all. He was stunned for a while and then put it down.

"There are more and more things in my mind, and some existences that I once regarded as important have become relatively weak."

This is not because his friendship with his girlfriend has changed. If his heart was once a puddle, then his girlfriend was a big ship occupying nearly half of his water. Now her weight has not changed and she is still a ship, but Li Heng

But it is already a lake. There are other islands, ships and other scenery on the lake. Relatively speaking, the original ship is no longer so conspicuous.

In the future, Li Heng may become a sea, so compared to the entire ocean, a ship may not be much different from a fallen leaf.

After specially adjusting the current data and sending it to "Liu Yizhen" again, he took off his white coat and left the laboratory.

Then he jumped directly from the second floor of his house to the first floor without taking the stairs.

Not far away, a rural woman who was hanging clothes on the roof was so shocked that she could stuff an apple into her mouth, and the sheets in her hands fell and blew away in the wind.
