Chapter 1323: Senior Brother, are you really building a nuclear power plant for them?

 Fruit flies reproduce naturally and can produce one generation in 12 days.

In view of the fact that extraordinary power is gradually accumulated in the blood, and it cannot be transformed into an extraordinary fruit fly until it accumulates enough, Gretel must be patient and wait slowly——

The fruit flies next door used natural power to grow, and it took 12 generations before the first extraordinary fruit fly appeared. The fruit flies here were simply fed with juice, even if it only took 12 generations, it would still take 144 days...

Gretel didn't even need to count with his fingers. He just had to think about it with his knees and knew that he had to wait for a long time. 144 days!

That’s more than a third of a year, almost five months!

For five months, you didn’t do any other research, just watched the fruit flies breed from generation to generation, catching a few or dozens of them every day, scanning them, and doing experiments?

Just thinking about this kind of life makes Grete feel uncomfortable all over. Although it stands to reason that the researcher is already very lucky to have preliminary results within 144 days——

In history, Mendel planted peas in the monastery for eight full years;

Morgan, the Holy King of White Eyes, raised fruit flies for two years before he found the mutant white-eyed fruit fly;

As for other elders, if a research is only measured in years, it is considered lucky. If it is measured in ten years, it may even take half a person's life. That is not a strange thing.

But after much thought, Grete still felt that this kind of research life was too boring.

Even though he has classes throughout the day every day and only has time to go back to the laboratory after 4 p.m., he still feels annoyed just thinking about it after only dealing with fruit flies for half a year...

"Little Grete, what are you doing?"

A head suddenly appeared outside the laboratory. Gretel turned his head and took a look, and was overjoyed:

"Big brother!"

"What's wrong? I rarely see you looking so sad... Are you encountering difficulties in your research? Do you want Senior Brother to give you some advice?"

Archmage Baierbo walked in with a smile. Gretel jumped up and rushed to his side:

"Senior Brother! Why are you here free? How is your progress there?"

"I'm going very smoothly here." Archmage Baierbo slapped Gretel on the forehead and pushed him down to sit down:

"Now they are building a mage tower for me..."

"Mage Tower?!"

Gretel was shocked. What kind of achievement is it to build a mage tower on the Elf Island?!

What none of the teachers could do back then! My senior brother actually did it!

"Senior brother, what have you done?! What achievements have you made recently that made them help you build a mage tower?!"

"Ah... not bad, I just helped them sort out the structure of the Well of Eternity." Archmage Baierbo smiled proudly and reservedly:

"You can't even imagine that they directly ignited the Well of Eternity to push the volcano below! I made them a device that slowly ignites the ore and releases energy. It is currently being debugged..."

Gretel's eyes darkened. Senior brother, are you building a nuclear power plant on Elf Island?

Are you sure that your current level of research on nuclear materials is enough to build a nuclear power plant?

"Of course, to make this thing, my strength alone is not enough. I need remote support from a teacher."

Archmage Baierbo seemed to have thrown away [Detection of Thoughts] on Gretel, and at this time he spoke tactfully:

"This is the purpose of building the mage tower. If you have any questions, you can communicate with Nevis remotely and get guidance. Little Grete, look back at your paper, or you can send it directly back to Nevis. You can send as many as you want!"

Okay, okay...

So the purpose of Big Brother is really to build a nuclear power plant on Elf Island, use the nuclear power plant to guide the volcanic energy, and then use the volcanic energy to power Elf Island?

Grete thought in confusion. The discoveries related to atomic physics produced dozens of Nobel Prize winners in his previous life; in this world...

It shouldn't be a problem to confess ten, no, even five legends, right?

Of course, it seems a little early to think about the legendary path of senior brother. The main thing is that Grete really doesn't understand anything about atomic energy, so he can only wait for the papers from his senior brother and teachers.

Instead, Archmage Baierbo stared at him and asked:

"What about you? Little Grete, how is your progress now? Have you encountered any problems?"

"Not yet...just follow the steps..." Gretel shook his head in annoyance and gave an overview of his progress so far:

"It's just that the step-by-step process is a bit boring. I want to speed up the progress, but I don't know where to start..."

It’s not always necessary to catch rabbits all over the place, first-level magic rabbits, second-level magic rabbits, and third-level magic rabbits;

Go and catch wolves again, first level wolves, second level wolves, all the way up to fifth level wolves;

Let’s discuss it with the unicorns in the forest. Can you line up and come over and do a genetic sequencing for me?

When Gretel was distressed, Archmage Baierbo's eyes were already bright. He pulled Gretel happily and looked left and right:

"The extraordinary factor in the chromosome? Have you found this thing? What does it look like? Show me!"

Grete had no choice but to click on the image of the moving tower spirit to show him. Archmage Baierbo played it over and over again, fast forwarding, slowing down, comparing, and he was fascinated.

After reading it seven or eight times in one breath, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves:

"Is this what the extraordinary factor is like? Can you also test it for me? - Do you want to draw blood?"

"...This is not necessary..." Grete shook his hands wildly.

Just kidding, most of the blood is water and protein, most of the blood cells are red blood cells, and those things don’t have nuclei—

It takes a long time to draw out a tube of blood and centrifuge the white blood cells for chromosome analysis. Why bother!

"Actually, just use a few somatic cells... For example, oral epithelial cells, use a small smooth stick to scrape a little on the roof of your mouth... Yes, the magician's hands can also change..."

Gretel was at a loss as to how to instruct his senior brother to scrape the oral epithelial cells, then separate the samples and put them into the electron microscope. Then... and then...

Buzz buzz...buzz buzz...

Silence, silence is tonight's mobile tower spirit.

Fruit flies have 4 pairs of chromosomes, while humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The number of base pairs and the amount of information contained are completely disproportionate.

It only takes a minute with the computing power of a mobile tower to input and calculate the chromosome bands of fruit flies; if you want to display the chromosome bands in human cells...

Gretel looked at his senior brother, and his senior brother looked at Grete. Grete let out a long sigh:

"I don't know how long it will take... This tower spirit doesn't have a progress bar or anything..."

"Forget it, let's go eat first, and then come back to see the results after eating. Anyway, the tower spirit won't run away if it is left here..."

The dining area was crowded. Grete had one bite, but not one, and the food was tasteless. The spoon almost hit his nostrils several times.

Suddenly, a big hand was pressed on the shoulder, and a familiar voice said with a smile:

"Little Grete, what's the matter? Are you encountering any difficulties? Do you want my help?"
