Chapter 12? Dragon workers interfere with the size of the ethnic group
A wet little thing crawled out of the pupa with difficulty.
Isaac dilated his pupils, observed carefully, and recorded the first piece of data.
"It takes eight days to pupate and three days to emerge, a failure."
In his theory, the birth of the dragon fly group is based on trace amounts of "magic ingredients" contained in the dragon's excrement, but this does not mean that the descendants of dragon flies must be dragon flies.
.
If the descendants of dragon flies must be dragon flies, I am afraid that the entire world will be covered by this extremely fecund creature. In fact, only a very small proportion of the descendants of dragon flies can evolve during the emergence process.
For baby dragonflies.
To grow healthily, baby dragonflies also need an environment with "magic ingredients", which to a large extent limits the size of their population.
Why does he keep "clinging" to Long Jie?
In addition to hugging the thighs, to a large extent, Zheng also has this aspect in mind.
Failed products can only be eliminated.
After all, the "magic environment" that the two young dragons can provide is limited, and there is no need to provide it to the failed products. Although the failed products may have a slight chance of evolving if it has a long-term impact, from a scientific point of view, it is not worth it!
After taking in a bit of the failed specimen, Isaac flicked it away with one finger, completely losing the meticulous care he had shown earlier.
With the first, there are more.
In the next two days, he recorded more and more data and more and more specimens.
"It takes eight days to pupate and three days to emerge, a failure."
"It takes eight days to pupate and three days to emerge, a failure."
…
The records that were completely identical were all failures.
But Isaac was not disappointed.
He has recorded the formation time of all fly pupae. He has noticed that several fly pupae have been formed for more than three days, but they still have not reached the final stage of emergence.
Isaac marked them all.
Another day later, as a small thing with a long tail crawled out of a certain marked chrysalis with great vigor, the first piece of different data finally appeared in the record.
"Eight days to pupate, five days to emerge, dragon fly baby."
Isaac injected the little guy very carefully, taking only a tiny bit of the specimen, and then gently put it back.
The little guy immediately twisted his body, his wings were vibrating, and he looked like he was trying to fly.
"Don't be anxious. I'll give you oxytocin in a few days. You won't be able to grow slower even if you want."
For his first "child", Isaac's eyes were full of "care".
In the next two days, one after another, all the marked pupae were opened, but only three baby dragonflies came out.
According to the inventory data records, 015's first batch of offspring had a total of 246 egg worms, and only four baby dragonflies evolved.
To say it is high, it is definitely not high, but to say it is low, it cannot be considered too low.
It mainly depends on how many times a female fly can give birth in her lifetime, and how long it takes before she can start the next round of production.
In addition, how long it takes for baby dragon flies to enter the apricot maturity stage is also an important factor.
Of course, this kind of efficiency, even if it is not low, will never satisfy Isaac.
Contributing a little of his own blood from time to time, he continues to promote the growth of baby dragon flies. At the same time, he is also paying attention to when the 015 family of four will start the second batch of production.
The first batch was natural reproduction to record specimen data, but starting with the second batch, Long Gong interfered.
…
The time soon came half a year later.
The White Crow Principality is thousands of miles away, or even further away.
An investiture ceremony is underway.
The evil alliance's invasion was finally repelled by them.
Although it was difficult in the early stages, and several strong men fell to evil plots, they finally managed to hold on thanks to the heroic counterattack by the Knights of Aroden, commanded by Archduke Strachey himself.
And with the arrival of assistance from the Glorious Line of Defense's ally, the Duke of Jiange, and several archmages called upon by the Grand Duke, the situation was gradually reversed, and they finally eliminated the "Deathrattle Tyrant" once again. The evil Green Dragon and
The orc warlord had already fled a few steps earlier.
"Grand Duke, this is information about the Forest of Thorns. The Queen of Thorns has not moved for several years and was originally raising a young dragon. Judging from the situation exposed in this war, one of the young dragons must be paid attention to. If left alone,
, in a few decades, another powerful evil green dragon may appear."
Baron Wells from Lordingburg Fortress is reporting to Archduke Strachey.
Although many tragic events are related to him.
For example, a strong member of the Knights of Aroden led a team to reinforce the Lordingburg Fortress because of his letter asking for help, but was sniped halfway and died.
Another example is that the castle of a certain nobleman behind the fortress was bloodbathed because he failed to block the invasion of monsters. Unfortunately, this nobleman also had a daughter who was also a student with a close mage friend of the Grand Duke.
But he always believed that the Baron's character could be trusted, and Archduke Strachey did not even remove him from his position as military commander of Lordingburg Fortress.
"The evolved baby dragon's life energy level is suspected to have reached level 10."
After looking through the intelligence information, I found that at the young dragon that the Baron mentioned, after looking at it a few more times, Archduke Strachey's expression did not change.
Young dragons, no matter how much attention they need, will not make big changes in a short period of time.
And the current principality does not have much power to go deep into the Forest of Thorns and hunt them under the eyes of the Queen of Thorns.
After all, his main enemy has always been the lich in the Zulas Mountains. If he cannot kill it completely, he will never be able to leave Hindenburg!
And other people in that forest may not be the opponents of the adult green dragon.
After weighing it in his mind, Archduke Strachey said: "The military will not take action on this matter for the time being. I will issue a huge reward and let the adventurers solve it."
"yes!"
…
Goblin Valley.
After ripening the dragonfly babies three times and completing the first stage of eggworm interference experiments, directly pushing the evolution success rate to more than 10%, Isaac expanded the size of the dragonfly population to three digits in one fell swoop.
But at this time, he couldn't continue.
If you want to accelerate ripening at this scale, you don't know how much blood you have to drain.
Moreover, on such a scale, the "magic environment" provided by him and Long Jie can no longer be maintained.
This is when he only picks baby dragonflies and kills all the failed ones without any unnecessary losses.
"If we want to go further, we can only find out the synthesis principle of magic molecules, find a structure similar to the magic molecule, and be able to produce it quantitatively."
"A three-digit dragon fly population is almost enough to cope with the experimental losses."
"Then let's readjust our research efforts to the Forest of Thorns period."
