It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right? Chapter 1459: Cracking the secret of dragon clan inheritance, summoned by brother-in-law!
Chapter 1459: Cracking the secret of dragon clan inheritance, summoned by brother-in-law!
"What?"
The old giant looked at Gretel as if he were a monster. The life essence of the dragon beast? Sir, what do you mean?
You don't mean...what I think, do you?
"Yeah, it's just..."
Gretel scratched his head, gestured, and continued speaking with difficulty.
Alas, even though he is a doctor, even though he has avoided Cerela, even though he wants to obtain some haploid male germ cells, it is not something that cannot be opened up in medicine...
The old giant's eyes widened. He didn't question Gretel's request. It was normal for the owner of the dragon's lair and his friends to ask for all kinds of weird things, but...
"Sir, why don't you... have one yourself!"
Gretel:!
!
Well, one lie needs to be followed by many lies, countless lies. I shouldn't have admitted that I was a Silver Dragon at that time...
"Don't ask any more questions! - Just tell me whether you want to do it or not!"
He had no choice but to lower his face and give strong orders. The old giant frowned and hesitated:
"...Sir, we will definitely obey your order." He leaned down respectfully:
"But the whereabouts of the dragon beast are elusive, and it will take time to find it. To get what you want... you may have to use a certain degree of violence, which will cause harm to it.
My lord, please tell me, should I mention this to Dragon Nest first?"
It's not that Gretel couldn't understand this kind of caution. He had no choice but to take the time to go to the dragon's nest. In response to his request, the half-dragon guard captain Soka didn't think there was anything wrong and said respectfully:
"You are the master's distinguished guest and the person recognized by Miss Cerela. As long as you do not cause fatal or irreparable harm to the dragon beast, you can do whatever you want.
——Do you need the guards from Dragon's Nest to help you complete it?"
"That's not necessary." Gretel shook his head. No matter how strong the dragon beast is, it is only about the size of a young dragon. It doesn't know magic yet, and is just a stronger beast. It can be tied up by digging a hole, setting up a trap or something.
There are giants who do rough work, one is worth five; he is there for magic and other things; high-end force is needed to suppress the situation, and he can also drag Idian over. As for reconnaissance, finding the whereabouts of the dragon beast, what does Tern Baka do?
A high-level flying monster that is close to being half-legendary. Although the territory of the Legendary Silver Dragon is large, he can still fly in a circle in one day...
With Sokka's words, it only took Gretel three days to find the dragon beast. The giants went out in force, digging pits, setting up obstacles, and placing bait.
Not long after, the dragon beast rumbled, following the giant hunter's lure, and rushed into a canyon that became increasingly narrow.
"Stonewall!"
"Tangled with vines!"
"Soothing spell!"
Grete stood high above the canyon, throwing spells down one after another, trapping the dragon beast and making it unable to move;
Soothe the dragon beast and make it calm down and stop panicking;
Next, um... there seems to be a corresponding spell in the "Pink Book"?
Grete returned with a full load. He carefully took out a little dragon essence, put it under a microscope, and observed it carefully:
"Well, the color is in the form of white jelly, and it gradually liquefies within 20 minutes...
The activity is very good, the proportion with the ability to move forward quickly accounts for more than 50%, and the proportion with the ability to move forward slowly accounts for more than 25%, it is very good...concentration..."
After recording all the characteristics, he took 1 ml of it very carefully, diluted it 10 times, and injected it into a female fish. In an instant, the female fish started beating desperately in Grete's hand:
"This is……"
Gretel quickly threw it back into the water, summoned the contract snake, and let it enter the female fish's body in an incorporeal state.
Gretel tried his best to observe through the eyes of the little snake, and saw that the fish eggs in the female fish's belly exploded into one ball, then another, and then another... as if they were poisoned.
One after another, finally, the female fish turned over with a white belly and floated on the water. It was obvious that she was no longer alive. The spirit of the contract circled around in her belly, not to mention the fish eggs, and even her internal organs.
All were burned to the ground.
"Uh... it seems that dragon essence is still too strong for fish... Do I need to dilute it 100 times? Or 1,000 times? Or..."
dilution!
dilution!
Try to dilute!
Dilute it once, try it once, and a female fish dies; dilute it again, try it again, and another female fish dies.
Gretel diluted it to a hundred thousand times in one breath, and only the female fish survived, but all the fish eggs in her belly were destroyed...
"Uh...I feel like it should be soon..."
Grete took a long breath and repeated the experiment again, diluting it to 200,000 times. This time, he directly performed a caesarean section on the female fish, and observed the combination process of the dragon beast's reproductive cells and fish eggs under the microscope:
"Forward...forward...fast forward...contact the outer membrane of the fish egg...enter the fish egg...uh, the fish egg disintegrates..."
Under the microscope, after disintegrating a fish egg, the reproductive cells of the dragon beast did not lose their vitality, but appeared more energetic.
It continued to swim forward quickly, and after a while, it found the second fish egg, the third fish egg, the fourth fish egg...
"If only humans were so strong, there wouldn't be so many infertility issues..."
Grete sighed sincerely. Before he traveled through time, in vitro fertilization had become very popular, and countless couples turned to this method to obtain children——
Among them, men's problems account for a large part.
The latest technology has advanced to the point where microneedles are used to directly inject individual germ cells into egg cells...
If the number is too small, don’t be afraid, just one will do; if there is no energy, you can’t swim, and you can’t break through the egg cell defense, don’t be afraid, the microneedle will just poke it in!
In this way, the success rate of cell combination is high. The problem is that escaping natural selection means that many genes that are too fragile and should not be passed on are passed on.
In the long run, what is right and what is wrong is also a question that is difficult to answer in one sentence.
In any case, the reproductive cells of this dragon beast passed five levels, killed six generals, and finally disappeared after killing eight fish eggs - and it did not successfully combine with any of them.
But Grete had already seen hope, and he kept up his efforts and continued the experiment. After trying for the twentieth time, a dragon beast reproductive cell finally settled in the fish egg——
Grete's eyes widened. He quickly urged the mage's hand to remove the precious fish egg from the petri dish and threw it into the microscope.
After waiting patiently for a day, under the electron microscope, wonderful scenes appeared one by one with the light emitted by the oak stick:
The chromosomes of dragon beasts are not in pairs, but are just single-stranded chromosomes spread out in fish eggs.
Those belonging to fish have fewer and shorter single strands of chromosomes, and they also unfold. Then, the two sets of chromosome chains begin to get closer, some are glued together, and some, but there is no way to glue them together...
As a result, the dragon beast's chromosomes began to rapidly disintegrate. Little by little, they scattered piece by piece and disappeared. I don't know whether they disintegrated into various purines and densine, or were dissolved by some enzyme and turned into smaller components.
.
All in all, when everything is over, only the chromosomes similar to the original size of the fish are left in the new fertilized eggs.
It is longer and has a few more segments, but no matter what, it is still far behind the size of the dragon's chromosome.
"It's really...wonderful..."
Grete sighed softly:
"It turns out that when the dragon race combined with other races, the chromosomes looked like this...most of the content was lost, leaving only the core..."
Therefore, those dragon fish, dragon frogs, dragon lizards, and even various magical beasts and intelligent creatures with dragon bloodline can get pregnant normally and pass on normally.
It turns out that their genes were only embedded with some fragments, rather than being completely rewritten to look like dragons.
"So, what about me? What about Cerela and I? How much information can our children carry? Will the information I provide not be enough?"
Grete thought about the number of his chromosomes and the number of points, and then recalled Cerela's, and was deeply aware of the crisis.
But this cannot be solved in a short time. All he can do for the time being is to be patient and work hard to do follow-up research:
"During the cell combination process, wind energy is continuously supplied at 1 unit/hour for 12 hours..."
"Continuously supplying 1 unit/hour of frost energy for 12 hours..."
"Continuously supply evenly mixed frost energy and wind energy, 1 unit/hour, lasting 12 hours..."
Experimental results show that continuous supply of energy helps to improve the success rate of cell union and also contributes to further cell division.
For dragon beasts of silver dragon bloodline, the combination of providing the silver dragon's preferred frost energy and wind energy, as well as the natural life energy, has the highest success rate.
Going a step further, Grete estimates that by gradually increasing the energy supply according to the development cycle, the success rate of successfully hatching arowana eggs will be the highest.
"It can be speculated that during the mating process of dragons, if strong energy can be continuously supplied, it will help the dragons to successfully conceive, and it will also help the dragon eggs to hatch..."
Gretel's eyes were bright and he was writing vigorously. He was raising fish! He was raising arowana!
There are so many arowanas with dragon bloodline, and there is a high probability that every dragon chromosome that can be passed down will be different!
Identify their traits and abilities one by one. You can always count on cracking not just half, but 10% of the mystery of the dragon chromosomes, right?
"What are you studying?"
Suddenly a head stuck out of the laboratory. Cerira looked around, her nose twitched, and she frowned:
"It smells so weird here! What have you been doing lately?"
"Uh...Celera, you can compare the chromosome points I deciphered and exercise on your own. Have you got any results?"
"Not yet...don't care! Come with me! Brother wants to see you!"
