After closing the door to the laboratory, the first thing Todd has to do is to confirm the state of his body.
He roughly calculated that there are currently more than ten kinds of powers in the body, such as clairvoyance, weakness, eagle eye, speed, regeneration, strength enhancement, underwater breathing, metal skin, pain suppression, earth control, appearance change, soul link, etc.
Due to the physical mutations caused by the Sutherland Archaea, the body's tolerance environment has been greatly strengthened, which has greatly increased the upper limit of the capacity of the super-powered bacteria in Todd's body and exceeded the original limit on the number of super-powered bacteria.
The mutations caused by archaea can evolve the body into a monster form that matches the superpowers. For example, metal skin can turn the mutant's outer skin into a strong semi-metallic armor; speed can evolve the limbs to be more suitable for running and
Jumping monster form. However, mutation will also cause all cells in the body to be attacked indiscriminately, eventually turning the organism into an unconscious monster.
The Tyrant Virus is mainly active in the nervous system. Its benefit is that on the one hand, it can enhance the super-powered bacteria, and on the other hand, it can force the mutation in the body to stop. Its harm is that if there is no mutated Sutherland in the organism,
Archaea, then the Tyrant Virus will attack the entire nerve center.
The current task is to find a way to let the successors possess the evolved abilities of the Tyrant on the basis of maintaining their consciousness. Based on this premise, Todd wrote down the Sutherland archaea, supernatural bacteria, and Tyrant virus in his notebook
, words like monster form.
The first is the issue of the dosage of Sutherland Archaea. At present, Sutherland Archaea has entered the mass production stage. In the special factory, there are more than fifty volcanic environment simulators used to produce archaea, and each day
About 60 successors can be artificially cultivated in a month, and there are now more than 800 successors in the entire Muxi City. Therefore, the production of archaea is not a problem.
Todd gave Sutherland Archaea a cross.
Then there is the issue of super-powered bacteria. In Muxi City, the kingdom regularly organizes heterogeneous sampling and extraction of super-powered bacteria, and has built special places to cultivate and store bacteria, so the stock of super-powered bacteria is not a problem.
Todd put another cross on the supernatural bacteria.
Next is the tyrant virus. This virus is essentially a special phage that can reproduce and expand by engulfing bacteria, so there is no need to worry about the number of viruses at all.
The Tyrant virus has been marked with a cross.
Todd looked at the phrase "monster form" in his notebook and fell into deep thought.
If the successor has not yet mutated and is exposed to the Tyrant Virus, the nerve center will lose its function due to the virus. But if the successor is the mutated successor and comes into contact with the Tyrant Virus, although the attack of the virus can be suppressed, the entire body's
All organs and tissues will be destroyed and changed due to mutation, and then become a mindless monster.
These problems put the use of Tyrant Virus into a dilemma.
Without mutation, people will die; if they mutate, people will become unconscious monsters...
Todd threw away the pen in his hand, looked at the word "monster form" at the end, and scratched his hair in distress.
Is there no way to protect the successor's consciousness from being destroyed during the mutation process?
Thinking of this, Todd's mouth opened slightly and he froze on the spot.
He suddenly remembered that there was indeed a successor who had completed the mutation and retained consciousness after being exposed to the Tyrant Virus. This person was Todd himself!
Todd rubbed his forehead vigorously with his hands and murmured to himself: "Think about it, think about it carefully, how did I come into contact with the Tyrant Virus?!"
Memories of the past flooded into Todd's mind like a tide.
The life and death battle with Clarence.
The underground temple of the Shadow Realm.
A huge whirlpool beneath the island.
The dark door deep under the sea.
Finally, Jingsu’s Blackstone Beacon Tower…
Todd frowned and secretly wondered, could it be that the reason why he was able to preserve intact consciousness during the mutation process was because of the mysterious beacon tower?
If true, then applying tyrants to successors would become an almost impossible task.
Because if the kingdom wants to cultivate a tyrant successor, it must let him go through a fateful trial of near death. This approach is simply a fantasy.
Todd thought for a while and then remembered that there was an identical beacon tower in the ruins of the North Island. Can it be used to complete the mutation of the successor?
Later, Todd rejected the proposal.
Jingsu once said that the energy of the beacon tower on the North Island has been exhausted and is no longer in operation. Moreover, allowing other people's consciousness to enter the space of the beacon tower means meeting and meeting Jingsu.
No one can predict what will happen, and the uncertain risk factors are too great.
Todd leaned back hard, looked at the ceiling, and sighed.
Wanting to use beacon towers to complete the mutation of the successor seems to be an unachievable solution.
As a last resort, Todd had to use other methods to realize the tyranny of the successor.
The first thing that came into Todd's mind was the quantitative control commonly used in biochemical experiments. To put it simply, it controls the mutation and evolution process of organisms by strictly controlling the number of archaea and viruses injected into the organism, using time differences and alternating reactions.
, to achieve the purpose of successor evolution.
Next, Todd conducted repeated experiments on the dosage and addition time of Sutherland Archaea, Allergic Bacteria and Tyrant Virus through experiments with forty-nine mice, and finally came up with a solution.
Depressing conclusion.
It is basically impossible to achieve the evolution of successors using quantitative control methods.
Of the forty-nine white mice used for the experiment, thirty-one died, thirteen completed the mutation but became zombies, and only five of the white mice retained their consciousness and survived.
But these five mice are all incompletely mutated, that is to say, part of their bodies have completed the mutation, but other parts are still in the state of normal mice, just like Jerome, the seventh person in the Legion of Disputes, became a
A half-tyrant heir.
Todd, who had been experimenting continuously for eleven hours, looked at the rat corpses all over the floor in the experimental box with his sore and achy eyes open, and had a splitting headache.
Placing a dead white mouse on the dissection table, Todd used a scalpel to open its skull, looking at the brain tissue that was slowly being devoured by the black reticular membrane, he closed his eyes in despair.
So far, the results of the experiment are obvious.
The collapse of consciousness caused by the mutation of the successor and the destruction of brain tissue caused by the tyrant virus are like a pair of poisonous snakes biting each other's tails. There is no perfect way to solve this deadlock.
If you really want the Tyrant Virus to be actually applied to the successors, you will have to unlock the secret behind the beacon tower. But at present, the latter is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
At his wits' end, Todd threw the scalpel on the table, climbed up from the chair, and walked helplessly to the living room next to the laboratory, intending to rest for a while. When passing by the constant-temperature warehouse, he suddenly glanced at the warehouse where the keel parasites were stored.
wooden barrel.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through Todd's mind.
Tyrant virus attacks brain tissue and neurons in living organisms, but what will happen if it is injected into parasites that have no brains at all and only have the most primitive nerve fibers?
