In subsequent experiments, Yawgmoth's plan led to sporadic deaths in primate experimental animals. These death cases were basically due to the fact that the brain transformation speed was too slow and could not keep up with the progress of the body transformation.
But these are just sporadic accidents.
Most primates can survive this period by relying on ordinary cooling methods.
The problem lies in only two aspects.
The first point is that the cognitive ability of apes is far lower than that of humans. Even if there is slight damage to the advanced parts of the brain, it will not be noticeable for a while.
And the second point...
As a top geneticist, Yawgmoth ignored a physiological perspective.
The complexity and power consumption of the human brain are much higher than those of ordinary primates.
Humanity has paid too much for this brain.
Human babies must be born when their development is incomplete. If they wait until the brain is fully developed and the skull is completely closed before birth, they will inevitably get stuck in the birth canal. Compared with many animals, full-term human babies are "premature babies."
.
Even so, human female childbirth still bears extremely high risks.
It's all for this brain.
The heat dissipation capacity of the human brain is only "sufficient", but it has not considered dealing with the task of "baseline conversion".
In this transformation surgery, the difficulties that other primates can barely overcome are real obstacles for humans.
The neurotropic virus originally prepared by Yawgmoth was a herpes virus. Herpes viruses have an affinity for skin, mucous membranes, and nerves. One virus can transform several different tissues, and it is relatively safe.
He didn't have such a creative plan to get rabies at the beginning.
But later research showed that reducing the power of rabies is the right answer for humans.
"I can only say that it's really lucky." Xiang Shan thought about it.
Modern science has been broken down to this level. Top geneticists like Yawgmoth will also make mistakes where they can be avoided.
Scientific research activities are no longer something that can be accomplished alone.
"It's not easy to recruit that team. How much time wasted on me..."
"I also need to help him finish the whole thing... Tsk. Speaking of which, I was the one who used this incident to create momentum and packaged it... Damn, how many good things did I make up for that bastard?"
"However, only by building momentum can the Ethics Committee... tsk..."
Many memories from his youth are rolling through Xiangshan's mind.
This movement woke up both Kane and Jardel. Kane asked: "Unknown hero, what's the matter?"
"Nothing. I remembered something unpleasant."
Kane scratched his head: "I see you are quite happy."
Xiang Shan was silent for a moment: "Have you ever had this kind of experience? You risked everything just to save a guy's life. Then many years later, he became an enemy."
Kane shook his head and then nodded: "You ask me... When I was a child, it was decades ago. I was still young at the time, and our elders sponsored a knight to rebel and become an officer.
And they lead people to destroy our community.”
"Decades ago? Before the Eighth Martial God?" Xiang Shan nodded: "I heard that after the Seventh Martial God, no Martial God was born for a long time, and people in the world were quite confused."
"But that's not the reason for him to retaliate for kindness." Kane was a little angry, "His outer armor and other things are all provided by us. There are also various rare metals and so on. What's the result?"
He glanced at Xiang Shan again: "If you ask me, you shouldn't have saved that bastard at that time."
Jardel wanted to turn down the corners of his mouth. He vowed that when he returned, he would install a prosthesis on the lower part of his face that could output expressions—even abstract expressions.
The single-killer king knows the true identity of the unknown hero. Now his mind is filled with questions of "who is that guy?"
Xiang Shan thought for a moment and laughed out loud: "If you think about it carefully, in that case, he would have become the number one knight in ancient and modern times, and I would have become a reactionary figure. It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. It's a loss."
Kane was angry: "The knight! The knight deserves to be betrayed, right?"
"No one can predict the future. It is enough to make a clear conscience choice at the moment." Xiang Shan said, "Besides, the Ninth God of War also once betrayed his army in front of the battle. The government will also accept betrayal."
Kane nodded: "That's true."
Xiang Shan thought: "The officer who betrayed you..."
"He died when the Ninth Martial God liberated the earth." Kane said.
Xiang Shan nodded: "That's alright - by the way, where are we going?"
Kane compared the recorded data of the flatbed truck with the estimated action plan and said, "We'll be there in a few hours."
Xiang Shan nodded.
Not long after, they reached the end of the tunnel. There was a hole vertically above the end of the tunnel, which looked like a natural crack in the ground. A small amount of sand and dust leaked out.
Several people put on camouflage nets and climbed up.
The camouflage net that the Earth-Drilling Dragon had hung near the exit was filled with dust. Soon, a few of them emerged from the ground.
This place has been separated from the encirclement of King Agni.
Looking far toward the mountain, I saw a drone in the distance.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly pulled out a gun-like thing.
This is a signal transmitter that can send a small beam of signal to the drone at a fixed point.
The frequency band of this small beam of signal is close to that of the satellite signal.
Signals in this frequency band can penetrate the ionosphere. Knights rarely transmit signals in this frequency band themselves, and they may be detected by satellites.
But if your marksmanship is good enough, you can use this method to accurately "snipe" drones.
This thing was found by Kane in the underground stronghold. This gun-shaped signal transmitter can only be regarded as a "household magic weapon". The cost is very low, and most people don't like it.
Using Xiangshan to do this can be regarded as recalling his own martial arts skills.
But it was a pity that when the drone was aiming towards the mountain, it flew into the distance and quickly fell below the horizon.
Xiangshan put away the transmitter and said: "It looks like we are surrounded by a protrusion. Let's go."
The three of them moved on and came to the beach.
Then, just dive into the sea water.
They have almost no need to breathe.
Of course, generally speaking, you need to change your prosthetic body before going into the sea. Many martial arts, including Xuanwu Zhengang, are difficult to perform in the sea. Moreover, the resistance of sea water is much greater than that of air.
Among Martial Ancestor's martial arts, there is also a small part that is specially used in the underwater environment.
But this time they are not fighting at sea.
After walking for a while under the sea, the three of them arrived at a secret door.
Go inside and you'll arrive at another underground base.
Xiangshan met Yuan Wenren and Master Blackhand here.
