Chapter 209 Pearl Clams of the First Generation (For the Man Who Becomes the Pirate King-1/2)
Throughout the afternoon, Shen Cong was experimenting with how to correctly find the location of meteorite fragments...しw0.
The fragment must be in the central barrier lake. He could judge from the previous radial circle map that this was the center of the radiation, but it could only be accurate to an area the size of the lake and could not narrow down the scope.
Shen Cong took the drone over and took off in the center of the barrier lake. He repeatedly shot several scenes, as if shooting a satellite map. Then he analyzed it bit by bit to see where the trees were lush and the color was darker, and used this to draw a picture. Draw many semicircle curves and want to find the center of the circle.
This is an application of the normal distribution.
However, for each curve, the center of the circle found is in a different position, distributed in various places in and around the barrier lake. There is no concept of normal distribution at all, the center of the circle is not concentrated, and it is impossible to determine where the center is.
Shen Cong took out the Geiger counter again and tried to judge where the radiation was the largest based on the radiation value. However, after walking around, he found that the Geiger counter was constantly beating and there was no accurate level at all.
After struggling until evening, I still couldn't find the exact location.
We also dug large pits several meters deep in several suspected places, but found nothing.
Seeing that it is getting dark, we can only return to Donkey Kong for the time being and come back tomorrow.
…
At night, Donkey Kong lights up his car's exterior lights.
Shen Cong stood in the light, looking at the old Pearl Clam with its shell tightly closed in the pool. He was holding a large Overlord knife sharpened by the leg of the Water Overlord's sickle, ready to pry open the old Pearl Clam's shell.
Just this morning, before Shen Cong went up the mountain, he noticed that Pearl Old Clam had reached the lv1 level and officially entered the lv1 era. Using the status classification in "Huo Xue", Pearl Old Clam is now at its peak breakthrough period, and will Enter a new breakthrough state.
Research can begin.
Not only Shen Cong has speculated about what the lv1 era will be like, experts from scientific research institutes have also discussed it.
Basically, we come to the conclusion that the body of an organism will enter a breakthrough state and produce magical changes. Of course, this change may be a gradual change over a long period of time and is difficult to achieve overnight. After all, it is impossible to upgrade like fighting monsters in the game. How many attribute points are added to the first level.
Shen Cong now wants to record the changing state of Pearl Old Clam bit by bit when it breaks through.
Pave the way for yourself to enter the lv1 era.
The old pearl clam did not cooperate. The clam shell was tightly closed with no sign of loosening. Shen Cong could only use the Overlord sword to insert it through the gap in the clam shell and then pry it hard.
His strength is about ten tons.
But when faced with the tightly closed clam shell, he pried it for a long time without even opening a gap where his arm could fit in. The old pearl clam was stronger than him and was not small at all, and the clam shell was harder than expected. , as if the tungsten alloy plate has completely become a metal material.
Click!
Suddenly, the connection between the handle and the blade of the Overlord's sword was broken. The connection was always the weakest part of bone metal weapons.
Holding the broken knife handle, Shen Cong looked a little unhappy.
There is no way to open the clam shell using conventional prying methods.
"You're forcing me." Shen Cong decided to be a little more ruthless.
He found a multi-thorn javelin, followed the two-finger-wide gap that had been pried open, and pierced it a few times. He felt that it had pierced the old clam's mussel flesh. But the old clam was too big. For this one and two shots, It seemed as if there was no reaction, and he still held on to the clam shell and refused to let go.
After pricking for five or six minutes, the tip of the spear was stained with blood, but the clam shell was still not broken open.
"Force me again." Shen Cong touched his chin.
They also found some flammable animal skins, dipped them in gasoline and ignited them, burning out thick smoke. Then they blew air into the clam shell along a crack opened by the pry, and poured all the thick smoke into the clam shell, creating an oxygen-deprived environment.
This was the method he used when dealing with the big stag beetle hiding in the nest.
It's a pity that it doesn't work against the old pearl clam. The skin is all burned up, and thick smoke is coming out from the cracks in the shell. The old clam still pulls at the shell tightly and won't open it.
"Still pushing me!"
When one move failed, Shen Cong quickly changed his move. He got into the car and took out the oxygen tube he had reserved, sprayed a little oxygen into the clam shell, poured a small bottle of gasoline into it, and lit it on fire.
boom.
There was a fire inside the clam shell.
Shen Cong could hear the gasoline burning, making the old clam's flesh sizzle. But this was not enough. The old clam had very good endurance. After burning for ten minutes, there was still no sign of opening the clam shell.
Let him be strong and let him be strong, the breeze blows on the hills.
Let him do whatever he wants, and the bright moon shines on the river.
A little tricky.
In order to record the changes in the Pearl Clam during its peak breakthrough period, Shen Cong was not prepared to kill it for the time being, nor did he want to smash its shell. After all, the shell was the active core of the Pearl Clam. Once it was broken, directly affects its life.
But now the only option is to take drastic measures.
"If you push me again, I will have to kill you." Shen Cong shook his head and was about to try the last trick. This time, he found pepper water.
The pepper water was soaked in a cloth, tied to an inactive steel pipe, and inserted into the cracks of the clam shell.
Extending forward, it directly touched the soft flesh of the old clam.
Hiss!
The power of the pepper water can kill even the Water Overlord with talent level 2 or above. It is almost an instant kill against the Pearl Clam. The effect is immediate. As soon as the cloth soaked in the pepper water touches its flesh, the old clam opens its mouth in an instant. From the tightly closed clam shell, you can see that where the chili pepper water touches it, the clam's flesh collapses quickly, like plastic foam touching the fire.
Click, click, click.
Shen Cong quickly used three large jacks made of diamond alloy to prop up the edge of the clam shell.
Then I put away the pepper water, and if it continues to corrode, it may really kill the old clam.
As soon as the pepper water was removed, the old pearl clam no longer hurt, and it immediately closed its shell tightly again, but this time it encountered a hard stubble, and three jacks held up its shell.
A 70-centimeter hole was left that could not be closed.
"It would be great to cooperate early." Shen Cong put on a headlamp and began to check for any changes inside the clam shell.
…
The lv1 era is a very interesting definition. This definition is an evolutionary stage deduced by Shen Cong based on the limit of the amount of activity contained in mutated organisms.
But because evolution, or mutation, is continuous and gradual, that is to say, there will be no leap-forward upgrades such as upgrading a level or doubling attribute points.
If evolution can continue after lv1, then from a time perspective, the mutation signs of the mutated organism will not change much at lv0999, lv1, and lv1001.
There are definitely subtle differences.
In particular, lv1 represents that the amount of activity has reached the limit. Once this limit is reached, whether evolution will stop or a qualitative change will occur is unknown information.
Now that Shen Cong finally obtained the first lv1 sample, he naturally had to observe and study it carefully.
"There are two very big pearls." The first thing Shen Cong saw was the large pearls wrapped in film and clinging to the wall of the clam shell. The pearl particles were very large, about 50 centimeters in diameter, and their oval shape was not very regular.
Ignore the pearls for now.
Continue to observe.
River mussels are molluscs. Except for the two hard clam shells, the inside is all soft meat, which shrinks into a ball and has no lethality at all.
As long as the clam shell is opened, there is no way to stop Shen Cong from studying it carefully.
Soon, Shen Cong discovered a slight difference.
The meat of the old pearl clam has a slight but very strange change from the meat of the pearl clam that Shen Cong killed before...
