178 The Room Next to Consciousness
Lupine only had more than one million crystal coins and could only afford one gene potion from the Crystal Palace.
Ge Xu also had a lot of research on marine life. When Lu Ping chose the gene potion, he consulted him many questions before making the final decision.
At this time, the "suburbs" of Crystal Palace.
In a private underwater house rented by a certain Lupine.
[Obtain 100% of the "Pacific Octopus" gene...]
Lu Ping took the gene potion and looked at the system prompts. He was a little surprised, because this bottle of gene potion had not been artificially deleted.
You know, this kind of thing happens from time to time. If a certain gene potion is confirmed by a large amount of experimental data, a certain gene fragment in it can easily cause adverse reactions in the human body, then when the potion is subsequently produced, this part of the gene fragment will naturally be artificially
Remove in advance.
Lu Ping has also purchased a lot of gene potions from the Spark Organization in the past. Among them, the gene potions that have deleted some genes account for at least 60%.
"Many marine creatures have certain regenerative abilities, and octopuses are the best among them." Lu Ping thought to himself, "I now have the third-level reorganization of the top combat power level available whether on land or underwater, but my body
The regeneration speed is only equivalent to the second revolution... the regeneration ability can't keep up with the strength.
"But with the octopus gene, if it can be expressed at the same time as the green iguana's regeneration gene, my regeneration ability might be improved again... I just don't know to what extent it can be improved?"
Lupine began to try to integrate the newly acquired octopus genes into the [intelligent dolphin form].
In fact, if you use Pandora's substance to forcibly fuse, you don't need to adjust the genetic proportions bit by bit, preset expected plans, etc. It can be done in one second, and the fusion is mindless.
However, Lu Ping still prefers to slowly adjust the most suitable reorganization plan by himself!
Just like when I played games in my previous life, try little by little.
Because, first of all, Pandora's matter is not infinite. Although it seems to be enough today and there is still a lot of surplus, in the future when the reconfiguration becomes more complicated, there may still be a day when it is not enough;
Secondly, you must build it yourself to take advantage of the automatic optimization function of the biological editor! If you use Pandora's substance to force the fusion, you will skip the step of optimizing the gene chain. It is like a building block building. Without careful design, it relies on
The "external forces" are stacked higher and higher, such as leaning against the corner of the wall or external reinforcement brackets. Lu Ping always feels uneasy when building high-rise buildings with the help of external forces!
Moreover, only you can load such a recombinant state. If it were anyone without Pandora's substance, no matter how many bottles of evolutionary serum you inject, it would be absolutely impossible for the transformation to be successful.
Lupine planned to manually create the optimal gene chain first, and then integrate it into Pandora's substance to simply enhance the effect.
This time it went more smoothly...
Lupine finally integrated 64% of the Pacific octopus genes into the form of the wise dolphin, including the parts related to regeneration ability, and the gene chain that became longer again was still very stable.
"Not bad, let's try loading it first." Lu Ping thought to himself.
This is the northern suburb of the Crystal Palace! The underwater city of the Crystal Palace occupies a circle on the seabed with a diameter of about 20 kilometers, and the straight-line distance from here to the city hall is about 11 kilometers. Lu Ping rented a house here specifically to avoid the Scarlet Dragon King Zhu Mei
.
Lu Ping also asked Chu Zixue that the perspective of the undead's soul is actually similar to that of the human eye. It can see up to a few hundred meters and cannot penetrate physical obstacles, but it can see through virtual projections or color-changing camouflage.
The smart dolphin form loads and appears quickly.
The appearance still didn't seem to have changed much, but when Lupine used his flipper to rub the knife he had prepared in advance, and cut a bloody gash 30cm long and 5cm deep in the skin, it only took two breaths for this to appear.
The huge wound healed and disappeared!
The skin of the wise dolphin has returned to smoothness, without even a mark, everything is as before.
"This regeneration speed..." Lu Ping turned his flippers over and over to observe, nodding slightly, "It is indeed the regeneration speed of the third level!"
"It's just..." A strange feeling gradually arose in Lu Ping's heart.
It was an indescribable weird feeling, as if my brain had changed from one room to two rooms and one living room, as if there was an extra space.
"Could it be that..." Lu Ping remembered some of the knowledge Dr. Ge told him about octopuses before.
An octopus has nine brains!
But it is said that there are nine, but actually the largest and most developed brain inside the torso is the main brain, responsible for most of the thinking.
The eight accessory brains are distributed among the eight tentacles and are also responsible for a very small amount of thinking, mainly how the tentacles bend and move, how the suction cups shrink and other subconscious motor behaviors. Its function is somewhat similar to the human "cerebellum" which is responsible for balance.
But unlike the human brain/cerebellum division of labor, octopuses have two separate memory systems.
The main brain has its own memory system! The eight deputy brains share another memory system.
Lu Ping's strange feeling at this time was very much like the feeling of "an extra memory system"! If human consciousness is compared to a villain, then this villain originally lived in his own room, with various things placed
Which, how to use it, etc., are already familiar...
But at this time, it seemed that there was suddenly a "next door room". The conscious person could even poke his head in to look, but it was empty and there was nothing there.
"This feeling is not strong enough." Lu Ping frowned slightly, "Is it because I only incorporate 64% of the octopus genes..."
He couldn't bear his curiosity, so he simply created a new recombinant form in the biological editor, using 100% octopus genes as the base!
Then Pandora's substance was used to strengthen 100% of human genes, and was forcibly integrated into it to allow it to be expressed.
The preview interface... shows a weird big octopus. After zooming in on the main torso, you can see that it contains a complete human brain and various human organs.
But at the same time, there are indeed eight accessory brains in the tentacles!
"Load it slowly and take a look. If it's not right, just cancel the loading immediately." Lu Ping thought to himself.
He is more cautious about things involving human consciousness. He doesn't want to accidentally become a dual personality like Guo Yululun... When he integrated the Chinese white dolphin gene, he specifically set expectations to make the dolphin
Brain genes must not be expressed.
However, the accessory brains of octopuses are different. They are similar to the human cerebellum and only control simple movements and have no complex thinking ability. He is relatively relieved.
Loading with silent thoughts.
The shape of the wise dolphin started from the tip of the tail and gradually differentiated into eight soft tentacles. This change spread little by little, and finally Lupine turned into a main body with a diameter of about one meter, and the eight tentacles were two to three meters long.
Big octopus.
The big octopus clattered to the floor and its eyes rolled.
"What a magical feeling." Lu Ping exclaimed.
At this time, he finally clearly felt the "next door room". It was a separate room. If he wanted to, he could leave some memories and thoughts there.
However, in the "next door room", there were eight other "villains" at this time, but they were all very dull.
