Chapter 642: Anatomy of Sea Beast
Wang Tao personally escorted everyone back to Changhe Base smoothly.
The follow-up matters were left to Gu Yun to handle. He did not rest for a moment and came outside the base again. But this time I brought Qu Shilin with me.
Qu Shilin has also been promoted to the sixth level and is now a genuine sixth level awakener.
“Wang Tao, where are the sea beasts?”
Qu Shilin had just woken up not long ago. If Wang Tao hadn't found her, she wouldn't have known the changes that had occurred in the crack in the past two days.
Qu Shilin is naturally very interested in the sixth-level disaster-level sea beasts, and she is also a sixth-level awakener now, and can withstand the disaster awakening emitted by dead disaster-level creatures.
So when Wang Tao asked her to study sea beasts, she immediately agreed.
“Don’t worry.”
The golden eagle flew to a barren hilltop. Wang Tao and his party jumped off the golden eagle, and then saw Lightning’s mouth open, and a mini version of the sea beast corpse emerged from the It spits it out of the mouth and quickly grows in size.
After Lightning advanced to the sixth level, the black hole-like space in its mouth became much larger and could store a lot of things. But if they are to be digested, they still have to come one by one.
And Lightning's attack mainly relies on its mouth. If its mouth is not opened, its combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 70%. Therefore, Lightning can currently only be used as a temporary storage space, but it is enough.
Soon, the corpses of these dozen sea beasts were spit out by lightning. Like hills, they piled up in front of Qu Shilin.
“…”
Looking at these ferocious-looking big fish, Qu Shilin’s mouth became O-shaped.
Although she already knew the information about the sea beasts from Wang Tao in advance, she was still shocked when she saw so many sea beasts with her own eyes and felt the oppression and disaster awakening on the sea beasts.
Can humans really kill such many and powerful monsters?
Qu Shilin, whose combat power is only five, said it was hard to imagine.
“These are sea beasts.”
Wang Tao pointed at these sea beasts.
Although the sea beast is dead, there is still a disaster awakening after all. Moreover, we still need to do some research on them to ensure that any accidents may happen, so Wang Tao thought it would be more appropriate to stay outside the base.
Then Wang Tao looked at the blood loss of everyone and nodded silently.
After the death of a disaster-level creature, the effect of disaster-level awakening will be greatly weakened. Probably similar to the fifth level disaster awakening.
And the disaster awakening of these sea beasts was not strong to begin with, and now they are dead again. So their awakening effect... Wang Tao's visual inspection should only be at the fourth level.
For everyone with 1 million blood at the sixth level, the fourth level disaster awakening naturally poses no threat.
In fact, just as Wang Tao speculated, although everyone was losing blood in front of the corpses of these sea beasts, it was not a big problem. Lan Yulian's random treatment can restore everyone's blood volume to full.
This is the first time Qu Shilin has experienced the awakening of a disaster at such a close distance. She is a little uncomfortable, but she is a scientific researcher after all and is very adaptable. After a while there was no problem.
“Which one do you start with?”
Wang Tao asked.
“Just this one!”
Qu Shilin took her toolbox and came to the body of the sea beast closest to her, and then called on everyone to help her.
"Please help me dissect it, my knife can't cut it..."
"Okay."
These sea beasts are not similar to the creatures Wang Tao has seen before. Similarly, Wang Tao didn't know anything about them, so he had to let Qu Shilin, a professional, study them to see if there were any similarities or differences between these sea beasts and other mutant beasts, monsters, zombies, etc.
In particular, the disaster awakening of sea beasts is similar to what Wang Tao thought - it is impossible to exert its full strength in the air.
If this is the case, then the threat from sea monsters may not be as great as previously thought.
It’s easy to prove this, just get some more water and put the sea beast in the water and try it.
One day later.
Wang Tao threw an awakening seed exploded by the sea beast towards the sea beast that had been dissected until only a small half of its body remained. When the seeds landed inside the body of the sea beast, they quickly took root and sprouted. Wang Tao was relieved when he saw this.
"You can plant awakening seeds. It seems that you need at least one-third of the flesh and blood..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
“Next, let’s see if the number of Awakening Fruits grown from this half of the corpse will be less. If it is a lot, then the next few sea beast corpses will do the same thing...”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Generally speaking, awakening seeds are something that disaster-level creatures must explode. After killing a disaster-level creature, planting the awakening seeds in its body is the result of maximizing benefits.
But these sea beasts are different...
After three days of research, Qu Shilin discovered that the corpses of these sea beasts can be said to be full of treasures -
its flesh and blood contains a large amount of energy, which can be absorbed by the human body! After humans eat it, their physical fitness and vitality will be enhanced. Its bones, teeth, and scales are extremely hard and have a certain degree of plasticity, which can be used to make weapons and equipment...
The most important thing is that these sea beasts are mutant fish in the sea, not zombies. Although there are impurities in their bodies, they are not yet to the extent of forming zombie viruses. Even if humans eat its flesh and blood, there is no safety issue as long as it is not excessive!
And this is only the preliminary research result of Qu Shilin. In the future, experiments can be continued to see if there will be a chemical reaction between the flesh and blood of these sea beasts and other things, so as to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Even Qu Shilin has thought of some things, such as adding the flesh and blood of sea beasts to genetic potions and awakening potions. In theory, it can also enhance human physique, and it is better than simply drinking blood and eating meat!
Of course, this is just Qu Shilin's current speculation. Whether this is the case, she will have to continue to do many experiments to confirm.
Anyway, the corpses of these sea beasts are good things for humans.
So Wang Tao and his party were divided on whether to plant awakening seeds on the corpses of sea beasts.
Because the corpse planted by the awakening seed is equivalent to supplying the energy in the body to the awakening seed, and the corpse cannot be reused.
Whether you want the sea beast corpse or the awakening seeds, you can only choose one of the two.
Some people think that it is better to have the corpse of a sea beast. After all, the flesh and blood of such a large corpse is enough for many people. It can not only keep full, but also improve the strength. How great!
Some people think that it is safer to turn the corpse into an awakening fruit. After all, there is no detailed data on how much improvement the sea beast corpse can bring to people, but the awakening fruit can actually promote people and even awaken them. So there is no need to take risks...
In the end, Wang Tao decided to try it first to see how much flesh and blood can make the awakening seeds germinate. In the past, when he hunted zombies and monsters, he would often beat his enemies to pieces, but that still did not affect the cultivation of awakening fruits. Therefore, Wang Tao has reason to speculate that planting the Awakening Fruit does not necessarily require a complete corpse!
So Wang Tao is going to test how much flesh and blood can be retained to allow the seeds of awakening to germinate. And see if the number of awakening fruits planted under this situation will be small.
Wang Tao initially used 1% of corpses, and the result was obvious. The seeds of awakening would not take root in these flesh and blood at all.
Wang Tao then slowly increased the amount, and finally when it reached about one-third, the awakening seeds were finally willing to take root.
Then this means that at least one-third of the flesh and blood of the corpse must be retained, otherwise there will be no way to plant the Awakening Tree.
Now there is one last question left - how many awakening fruits are grown from one-third of the flesh, and whether the quality has changed.
If the quantity and quality of the awakening fruits remain the same as before, then only one-third of the flesh and blood of a sea beast will be left. Part of the remaining flesh and blood can be given to the research institute and the city hall, and the rest can be distributed to other people.
Next, continue to study sea beasts and wait for the awakening fruit to mature.
Taking this time, Wang Tao returned to the base.
The base has been very lively these two days, and everyone is talking about sea beasts. Especially those who participated in the last "fishing plan" have become the focus of attention these two days.
The city hall did not ask them to keep it secret, so they all described what happened at that time vividly. Even if many people have not personally participated, just by listening to these descriptions, they can feel the terror of the sea beasts and the power of Wang Tao and others. They all envied the people who could participate in this operation. They would probably brag about such a big scene for a lifetime.
But contrary to the excitement of the people, the city hall is a little worried.
Although the threat of sea monsters has been temporarily resolved, no one can guarantee that sea monsters will no longer appear in the cracks, so the water collection work is still suspended indefinitely.
And since there are sea monsters in this crack, there may be some in other cracks as well. There are many cracks in the world. If there were such sea beasts, their strength would be terrifying. After all, these sea beasts can come ashore!
Then there is the temperature issue. During the last fishing plan, many senior officials also went out and felt the high temperature outside. They are more worried about high temperatures than sea beasts!
At least Wang Tao and the sixth-level awakeners can deal with sea beasts, but what about the high temperature? If the temperature is so high that the barrier cannot withstand it, then the Changhe Base may be in danger...
When Wang Tao saw Gu Yun, the latter had a sad face.
"Don't be so pessimistic, let me tell you some good news."
"What good news?"
Gu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the good news.
"Sea beasts are full of treasures..."
Wang Tao shared the research results of the past two days with Gu Yun.
"Fuck! Good, good!"
Hearing the news, Gu Yun was overjoyed.
No matter what difficulties you want to solve, your own strength is the most important and fundamental. If you don't have the strength, even if you know the solution, you may not be able to complete it because your strength is too weak.
So for the people in Changhe Base, improving their own strength must be one of the most important goals.
And the flesh and blood of sea beasts can enhance people’s strength!
Gu Yun was excited when he thought that the sea beast was so huge and could contribute a lot of flesh and blood.
This is definitely the best news he has heard in the past two days.
But suddenly, Gu Yun seemed to have thought of something, and asked quickly:
"By the way, aren't the corpses of disaster-level creatures planted with awakening fruit trees?"
< br>"It is necessary to plant the awakening fruit, but after testing, Only one-third of the flesh and blood of a sea beast can be used for the awakening seeds to germinate. After three days, I will see how the awakening fruits are. If there is no problem, then leave 30% of the flesh and blood to plant the awakening fruits. The rest can be planted. Free distribution." Wang Tao explained with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!"
Gu Yun clenched his fist fiercely.
The overall strength of the base can be improved again!
“But it is not something that ordinary people can do if they want to eat these flesh and blood. Because these flesh and blood are still emitting disaster awakening, ordinary people cannot bear it. It is best to let people of level three or above come. Use it, and you have to have the treatment department staff prepare it to prevent accidents..."
"And these flesh and blood contain impurities in the body. If you eat too much, it may increase the impurities in your body. However, after Qu Shilin's test, the impurities in the body caused by eating sea animal flesh and blood are not permanent, but can be eliminated through metabolism, so if you want to eat these flesh and blood, You must eat regularly and quantitatively, and you cannot eat too much at one time. After eating a certain amount, you need to stop eating and wait for the impurities to be discharged..."
Wang Tao told Gu Yun all these things and asked him to prepare in advance. When the awakening fruit matures and there is no problem, the flesh and blood of the sea beast will be sent back.
"Okay! I will arrange it!"
Gu Yun immediately patted his chest and said.
After telling Gu Yun about this, Wang Tao left. He did not rush to find Qu Shilin, but went to the previous crack again.
During the last battle, the water in the cracks was dyed red by sea beasts, just like the blood pool.
But now, the water here is clear again.
If it weren’t for the traces of battle on the shore, you might not even know that a big battle happened here.
Wang Tao asked the golden eagle to fly over the crack to see if there were any sea beasts.
After flying for a while, I found nothing and the water was very calm.
I couldn’t tell whether he was happy or regretful. Wang Tao shook his head and left.
Returning to the unknown mountain top again, Qu Shilin and others were having a heated discussion.
Seeing Wang Tao come back, everyone talked about today's research results.
“We just pried open the skulls of sea beasts, and I finally know why they kill each other so easily—their brains are too smooth and too small!”
As we all know , there is a certain relationship between the number of folds in the brain and the level of intelligence. For example, humans have many wrinkles on their brains, and the brain occupies a large proportion of the human body, so humans are relatively smart. Some small animals have small and smooth brains, so they have little IQ.
The current sea beast is just like that small animal, its intelligence is worrying.
In addition, they can devour each other and evolve, and their awakenings have no effect on each other, so once provoked, they can easily kill each other.
Then the question is, even this "idiot" can be promoted to the sixth level of disaster level, what about other sea beasts? They can't all be fools...
