Let’s return to current research for now.

For trolls, and even evolved elves, severe damage to the brain is almost certain to lead to death. Even minor injuries may cause disability and other sequelae depending on the degree;

The reason is caused by the drag on the regeneration ability of neurons and various passive brain areas, which can take hundreds of years.

But higher salamanders seem to be different in this respect.

Through observation, the witch doctors found that the back of his head, accounting for about one-fifth of the entire brain, had been completely charred by the lightning strike, and the remaining one-quarter of the brain had been damaged by the indirect effects of the lightning strike.

Suffered varying degrees of trauma.

However, the area of ​​his brain that was attacked by natural thunder is currently recovering itself at a speed much faster than that of the elf's brain;

Among them, one-fifth of them are completely charred and have lost their activity and are being rejected little by little. Their residues will be gradually excreted from the body along the descending blood vessels in the neck and other pathways;

The rest of the wound area is rapidly proliferating to fill in and replace the missing cells in the damaged area.

Judging from the current observations, even without the intervention of witch doctors, this process will not end in the short term;

It is expected that the recovery process should last about 200 to 300 years, provided that there are no other influences from this side.

In other words, the same brain injury, with 1/5 completely destroyed and 1/4 severely damaged, did not become a 'fatal injury' to the advanced salamander.

Trolls, elves, salamanders, and advanced salamanders all have the ability to regenerate, but the advanced salamanders have shown an overwhelming advantage, showing a regenerative ability that is completely different from the first three.

The witch doctors were very curious about this. Although they knew that the life level gap between the two sides was too large and there was actually no comparison, they still wanted to try to find out the essential reason for this gap.

Therefore, Nesta rarely has the opportunity to obtain complete cells and observe the structure of its internal organs, and has not made much progress in confirming its conjectures.

The unknown self-powering method of advanced salamanders has not been explored by our own forces yet, but the witch doctors have through separation experiments have clarified the leading role played by the 'nuclear body' in this process, which is only based on its unprecedented strength.

Structure, there is currently no means of further observation.

But this time it was different. Both advanced salamanders suffered huge trauma due to different reasons;

According to limited observations, although the regeneration of cave wolves is not comparable to that of advanced salamanders, the gap between the two is mainly reflected in the 'regeneration speed' based on racial talent (guess, inference), rather than '

'above life intensity';

In terms of cell functionality, it also shows a tendency to be 'fuzzy'.

If the witch doctors do not interfere with it in the future, its body will recover first within a period of time, while the injured area of ​​the brain will slowly recover at a much slower rate than the former.

In this transformation process, which varies in length and is susceptible to external interference, it is the "ambiguity" that enables it to survive under such a degree of trauma and hindered self-healing, and wait for the opportunity to regenerate in the trauma area.

the most important support.

However, its core body has undoubtedly achieved the ability to reproduce all aspects of cell structure, different cell biases, and higher overall functionality. In a sense, this is not a manifestation of 'information'

;

The core itself is material. As a carrier of the above two functions, if it can improve energy utilization, spirit and information, then blood regeneration, hair cloning and other methods may not be impossible to achieve.

In his observation, these things may have been difficult to carry out, and there may be shortcomings that cannot be ignored, but they have indeed achieved the "ambiguity" in the speculation.

As for what happens after that, it’s more of a guess based on imagination.

For example, it may eventually be possible to achieve a 'trinity' of information, matter, and energy. They will no longer be distinguished from each other, but can freely transform into each other depending on the situation.

Of course, this is just his guess, and it is already at the end of his imagination at this stage. Whether it is true or not is unknown. Only some related signs have been seen in higher organisms.

The same is true for the observation of regeneration at the organ level. Even if all external nutrient intake channels are cut off (this only refers to what the witch doctors think can be done), the regeneration will not be stopped. At most, it will have some impact on the speed.

That's all.

This is the most direct reason why the first-level trolls, second-level elves, or Nestas who have reached the third level at this time are different from the advanced salamanders in terms of regeneration ability. It is also the reason why their life strength cannot be compared with the former.

One of the most important reasons for comparison.

And perhaps after the recovery period of anywhere from tens to hundreds of years is over, another 'new' advanced salamander will appear in the world.

But the advanced salamander is different. It can complete regeneration in a short time, but it does not necessarily need to complete regeneration in a short time.

Because when regeneration is blocked, other existing cells will take over the basic functions of the lungs, giving the body more, and even almost endless, time to repair itself.

Earlier, because the body of the cave wolf was too complete when captured, the witch doctors could at most cause some abrasive damage to its body surface, thereby obtaining the rare high-energy and high-nutrient liquid;

This kind of phenomenon is also reflected in the cave wolf;

This direction is essentially a functional transformation of cells from single to multifaceted, which essentially goes against the natural evolutionary trend of organisms;

At least judging from the relevant theoretical knowledge of Nesta's previous life, it deviates from or even reverses the natural evolution process of complex organisms. Without the integration of a transcendent consciousness or will, such cells are almost unnecessary and should not be formed together.

A whole.

For example, the brain's role as a thinking center may be replaced by the body as a whole;

Perhaps the next step of 'fuzzy' is to complete all-round functional integration at the cellular level? Individual 'consciousness' is the gathering and explicit expression of all cells in the body.

The witch doctors speculate that during the recovery period of the brain, the body will enter different states such as instinct drive, semi-dormant, complete dormancy, etc., depending on the degree of damage to the injured area's functions, so as to survive the lack of a command center.

time.

If we can go one step further and continue to simplify the other functional structures in a single cell except for the nuclear body, then the high-energy and high-nutrient cell fluid, cell membrane, and even the cell itself will have no meaning of existence, and the various organ structures will no longer need to be

Maintain and thereby make the "complete and integrated" body something that can be present or not.

However, although this energy-level explanation is essential enough, it is not the direct cause of the reproductive gap.

In fact, long before that, when Nesta's own 'omnipotent cells' were born through the body's self-screening, he had some vague associations with the way forward and the state of the bodies of higher organisms;

Coupled with the extremely limited experimental contribution of the Burrow Wolf, this association finally gradually took shape.

But after all, energy still needs a transformation process, and it is not yet able to directly replace the functions of the organs;

As for Nesta, he more or less observed part of his own guess in the regeneration state of the advanced salamander after being injured.

The lightning strike caused severe damage to many internal organs, including the brain, but the advanced salamander did not experience any substantial functional shutdown of the body due to damage to the internal organs.

Based on this, although there are only three individuals and two races in the sample, Nesta has basically determined the reason for the essential difference in the 'regeneration ability', and has further seen a corner of the direction of physical evolution of higher organisms.

And I had some imagination going a little further afield.

Fortunately, the higher salamander's body has more wounds than the cave wolf, allowing the witch doctors to get a better observation field, giving them the initial conditions to continue their research.

In the subsequent explorations, whether it was the isolated observation of different types of single cells or the overall study of the functions of the organs, it was considered that many of the blind spots in the knowledge of higher organisms were filled by the witch doctors.

To sum up, this advanced salamander seems to the witch doctors to be a completely lossless machine that can perform its functions without any fuel.

As a result, it has a huge and almost endless self-sustaining ability, which supports its terrifying regeneration, natural lifespan, etc.;

Regardless of whether the brain is injured or the organs are missing, the mere energy and time consumed are nothing compared to its almost unlimited self-sustainability.

Moreover, when the above-mentioned high-energy and high-nutrient liquid regeneration, cell reconstruction and other processes occurred, the witch doctors did not even supplement the advanced salamander with any nutrients;

For another example, the function of pumping blood and supplying blood to the heart may be completed independently by the blood terminal;

In the same way, the lungs, liver, or similar organs will gradually abdicate, and their many tasks will be replaced by multifunctional and replaceable comprehensive cell groups.

Going a step further, material, spiritual, and information can achieve true mutual transformation.

If it could really be done, it would be no different from the ‘Shen Zhuan’ in previous life novels, right?

Among these conjectures, there are still too many things that cannot be understood and cannot be understood;

In terms of cells, the conclusion is similar to that of the Burrow Wolf. It is a large nuclear body structure with unknown specific functions, and there are also abundant reserves of high-energy and high-nutrient liquid outside;

When the cell structure is complete, the internal high-energy and high-nutrient liquid will supply the operation of other structures in the cell, thereby supporting and keeping up with the operation of the upper structure;

However, it is this evolutionary method that deviates from the evolutionary path at first glance that gives advanced salamanders such tenacious vitality;

Although the brain is still a brain, and the internal organs are still internal organs, they are all responsible for part of the tasks in the overall operation of life, and their respective functions are extremely powerful and have sufficient energy support;

Nesta believes that when an individual's evolution reaches a certain level, the functional divisions of its internal organs are likely to become blurred.

Let’s first look at trolls, elves, and inferior volcanic salamanders for comparison. Although they also have super strong regeneration capabilities, if a specific organ is severely damaged and the regeneration is suppressed from the outside;

For example, the lungs, the troll's regeneration ability is enough to be repaired in a short time, and it must be repaired in a short time, otherwise it will usher in real death.

In every corner, some cells may not be as efficient as complete organs, but they are sufficient to maintain the basic functionality. Even the central tasks undertaken by the brain are supported by various cell communities through 'autonomy'

It has basic operation and interaction capabilities.

In this state, the liquid will be replenished within a period of time after being withdrawn;

But when the nuclear body is separated from the cell as a whole, the original cell will stop functioning, and there will be a tendency to complement the cell functions around the nuclear body. Cell membranes and other structures will surround the separated nuclear body, and in the new

Positions are born in turn.

In other words, its body has truly lost its 'fatal weakness'. Even if areas such as the brain and heart are severely damaged or even completely destroyed, it seems to only cause 'more trouble'.

There will no longer be distinctions between blood cells, muscle cells, etc., every cell will be an all-rounder from thinking to energy supply;

For example, the cells that make up hair are exactly the same as the cells that make up the heart, or maybe the fingernails can also complete breathing independently, and even a series of subsequent nutrient transformation activities, if breathing is really needed at that time.

This gave the witch doctors an opportunity to sneak in, and a large number of functional vines had already taken this opportunity to penetrate into their relatively fragile inner abdomen and even their brains;

This method not only allowed the two new mother trees to produce much more high-energy liquid than the cave wolves, but also gave the witch doctors more observation 'perspectives' and many previous observation results.

For example, what would the body look like? Would it be composed of tiny nuclei gathered and dispersed by the mind? But how is the main consciousness retained in it?

For another example, in what form does energy exist?

For another example, what is the way to realize the imaginary "Trinity" at the level of "god"?

Advanced salamanders are far from being so magical. I don’t know if this guy has not evolved enough, or if this idea is simply delusional?

But one thing is clear: at present, when the conversion rate of totipotent cells in the body is less than 0.1%, this is still a valuable but overly forward-looking thinking, and does not require a clear answer immediately.

But this does not mean that they are "too ambitious". At least this thinking and research has clarified the super vitality of higher organisms, and prompted the department to make the decision of "restriction" and "continuous weakening" to prevent them from

One day the trapped dragon ascended to heaven.

There is a final assignment that is due tomorrow, but I completely forgot about it

I have to stay up late today to catch up on my homework, so I only have 4,000 words. Sorry┭┮﹏┭┮
