After looking around in Laboratory No. 2, Su Yang did not find Experiment No. 2. He looked curiously at the Charcoal Lady Martha.
Martha led him to the center of the laboratory, in front of an experiment box that looked to be the size of a wardrobe, and then she stretched out her hand and gestured, "This is Experiment No. 2."
Su Yang followed Martha's hand and looked over. The experimental box was made of glass and contained a snake-like vine that could move freely.
It is green all over, and its leaves are a bit like maple leaves. Under each leaf, there are two tender little plant claws.
This plant was also collected by Su Yang a few days ago. It was inconspicuous at the time, but I didn't expect Martha to study it thoroughly first.
While Su Yang was looking at it, Martha also introduced the plant softly into his ear, "We named this plant [Blood Cotton]."
"It is the most aggressive and vital creature among all the mutant creatures we have collected."
"Even if he doesn't use special equipment, an ordinary adult may not be his opponent."
As she said this, perhaps fearing that Su Yang would not believe it, Martha gestured to the researcher next to her, and the researcher made an OK gesture. Obviously, they wanted to show Su Yang the power of this plant.
After making the gesture, the researcher opened the fresh-keeping cabinet nearby, took out a piece of pork, and placed it on the conveyor belt of the experimental box.
Then he pressed the button, the conveyor belt started, a small glass opening on the experimental box opened, and the pork was transferred in through the small opening.
But as soon as the piece of pork entered the experimental box, the plant named [Blood Cotton] "crawled" towards the pork as if it had a sense of smell, and the tender little plant claws at the bottom of its leaves also
It stretched out and wrapped around the pork.
In just a moment, the plant was completely wrapped around the pork, and those tender plant claws directly grabbed the pork.
Visible to the naked eye, the surface of the pork has been corroded by tiny claws with tiny holes.
As the hole got bigger and bigger, the pork meat was corroded and shrunk rapidly, and finally there was only a pool of blood-colored liquid left, dyeing the originally green vine the color of blood.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Yang opened his mouth in surprise. Martha also explained in Su Yang's ear, "This is why we named it blood cotton."
"He is very aggressive. His claws secrete corrosive solution that can easily corrode the flesh, flesh and fur of animals."
"So every time it hunts, it leaves a pool of bloody liquid, but because it is tied to the prey when hunting, it turns bright red."
Su Yang nodded slightly.
Seeing Su Yang's interest, Martha pointed to the plant claws of blood cotton, and then continued to explain, "According to our research, this creature is similar to pitcher plants, man-catching vines and other plants, and they are all parasitic plants.
"
"However, unlike plants such as pitcher plants, its hunting organs are its roots, which are those small claws. After contacting the prey, its roots will tightly grasp the living body and release dissolved
liquid, and grows in its body. Finally, it kills the prey and completes its transformation into nutrients."
"This method of preying is similar to that of the legendary parasitic plant. The only difference is that the preying organ of Nepenthes is a leaf capsule, while its preying organ is a root."
"In addition, in fact, the legendary piranha flower that can eat people does not exist. The largest known carnivorous plant in the world is a pitcher plant that grows in Java, and its leaf capsule can hold up to eight liters.
It is said that it can prey on small mice.”
"So, after we discovered [blood cotton], it is now the plant with the strongest hunting ability in the world."
Speaking of piranha, Su Yang glanced at Martha.
You must know that the prototype of Martha's monster is the piranha, or the prototype of the piranha: Rafflesia.
Su Yang still remembered that when he resurrected Martha, he saw a blooming flower tattooed between her buttocks. When she was excited, the flower would sway accordingly.
In addition to the "real flower" between her buttocks, Martha also has a tattoo symbolizing the piranha flower on her thighs, arms, and cheeks.
That's why Su Yang said before that Martha's monster features made her look even more coquettish.
Martha didn't seem to notice Su Yang's gaze. She looked at the blood cotton in the glass cabinet and then explained, "Actually, if this kind of plant is only highly aggressive and has dangerous predatory methods, then maybe we won't be so careful.
Another characteristic of it is that it has extremely strong vitality."
Having said this, Martha once again gestured to the researchers who had just conducted the experiment.
The researcher nodded, put on protective clothing and protective gloves, and after completing a full set of protection, he opened the cabinet and put his hands in.
Just like the scene just now, as soon as he put his hand in, [Blood Cotton] quickly wrapped around his hand.
The researcher had obviously done this experiment many times. Instead of panicking, he grabbed the blood cotton, reached out and took the hammer handed over by another researcher, and smashed it crazily towards the blood cotton.
Hearing just a few "bang bang bang" sounds, Blood Cotton seemed to be irritated. Not only was he not injured at all, but he also resisted fiercely, and his little claws crazily dug into the researcher's gloves.
The scientific researcher was not intimidated by the stubborn look of the blood cotton. He continued to hit the blood cotton with a hammer, dozens of times. The blood cotton trembled all over and then let go.
He lost his little paw and lay dying in the experimental box without moving.
Seeing this scene, Su Yang was startled. He thought that the scientific researchers had beaten the blood cotton to death. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the body of the blood cotton was actually still trembling slightly.
The tender little paws were curled up under the leaves, opening and closing, as if waiting for an opportunity: it was obviously just frightened by the beating, but not seriously injured.
After scaring the blood cotton, the researchers picked up a piece of pork again, threw it into the experimental box, and then closed the experimental box.
The blood cotton plant was indeed pretending to be dead just now. As soon as the researchers closed the experimental box, it stretched out its little claws and wrapped itself around the pork.
After a while, the piece of pork was corroded again, leaving only a pool of blood.
After watching the entire process, Su Yang had an intuitive understanding of the aggressiveness, danger and vitality of blood cotton.
He felt that this kind of plant would be a sharp weapon if used to protect the home and courtyard: but the premise was that he must find a way to restrain it. Otherwise, let alone protecting his own home, he might even let it take over this home.
Gone
Martha seemed to have guessed what Su Yang was thinking, and seemed to have just finished explaining it. She said, "When studying blood cotton, we also conducted experiments on it using various substances. In the experiment, we found that blood cotton
This creature has almost no natural enemies, but it is not invincible."
"First of all, its hunting method only targets animals and does not work on plants. In other words, plants are not among its prey. Secondly, in experiments, we found that it has no resistance to heated aluminum.
"
"So, if we want to use it reasonably, we can plant a circle of weeds on the border where it grows. With the weeds as a barrier, it will not slip outside the circle."
"And if we feel that it has reproduced too much, we can also harvest it with heated aluminum, or pour liquid aluminum water on it. As long as it touches the aluminum, it will curl up and even lose its life."
Hearing this, Su Yang asked curiously, "Why is it afraid of aluminum?"
Martha corrected, "It's not that I'm afraid of aluminum. It's that I'm afraid of heated aluminum."
She explained, "This should be because the solution in its body is rich in a variety of high valence metal compounds. Once the hot aluminum comes into contact with its body, a replacement reaction will occur, causing the cells in its body to collapse.
, directly threatening its life."
Regarding the damage caused by heated aluminum to blood cotton, Martha only explained it and did not show it to Su Yang. Su Yang guessed that this might be because there was not much blood cotton in stock, so he cherished it.
After all, Xuemian is not like a golden coconut tree. As long as gold is buried in its roots, it can continuously produce golden coconuts, and then further reproduce and conduct experiments.
After learning about Experiment No. 2, Su Yang highly praised the work of Charcoal Lady Martha: In less than a month after the institute just opened, Martha was able to achieve such results. In fact, it is really
It was beyond Su Yang's expectation.
This also made him miss the sea snake even more.
After all, there are very few subordinates like Sea Snake who know what they need and do everything possible to get it.
Take a look at Sanque: As long as he talks to Su Yang, he can't finish a sentence. He keeps talking about one word after another every day.
Take another look at Xiao Ha: Although its effect is great, its personality is also irritating! This leads Su Yang to often feel that if Xiao Ha is not so effective, he might just get angry and kill Xiao Ha one day.
His mouth was sewn shut.
Take another look at Fei Fei: he has never regarded Su Yang as his master. He knows how to bully Su Yang every day. If Su Yang didn't have the thunder in his palm, he might not be able to control him.
So when you think about it, Sea Snake is really a loyal subordinate!
But there is no use even thinking about the sea snake. According to Sanque's estimate, with an injury like the sea snake's, it will take at least half a year to recover and crawl out of the soil.
So Su Yang could only wait silently.
And while Su Yang was visiting the scientific research center, at Qu Xuan's home in the center of the magic city, Qu Xuan finally waited for his precious girlfriend: Xue Ya.
It was obviously the first time for Xue Ya to come to Qu Xuan's house, so even though Qu Xuan said that there was no one at home, when she was changing her shoes, she still secretly looked around like a frightened bird.
Looking at her, it looks like there is a woman hiding in a hidden corner of Qu Xuan's house, and she is a woman who will pop out suddenly when Blood Crow is not paying attention.
So, seeing Xue Ya's cute look, Qu Xuan walked towards the kitchen with a smile and said, "Is this your first time at a boy's house? You are so cautious."
Xue Ya had been with Qu Xuan for a long time, and her temper was obviously much more lively. She looked at her secretly and retorted, "No way. I have been to other boys' houses."
Qu Xuan poked his head out of the kitchen and asked curiously, "Whose house have you been to?"
Xue Ya proudly said, "Guo Xiaoying's house."
Qu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He retracted his head, but the laughter still passed through the kitchen, "If you say that, I actually think it's acceptable."
Xue Ya shivered and was so happy. She changed her shoes and walked around the living room. After confirming that there was no one hiding, she politely stopped looking and went to the kitchen to find Qu Xuan.
In the kitchen, Qu Xuan was wearing an apron and cooking.
Seeing Xue Ya come in, Qu Xuan raised his head and asked, "How about eating pine nuts, corn and braised eel tonight?"
Xue Ya nodded obediently, "Okay. These are my favorite dishes."
Qu Xuan glanced at her and smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes. He said, "Since you like tonight's food so much, how about we celebrate by firing off a cannon?"
Xue Ya was stunned for a moment, but then she understood what Qu Xuan meant. Her face turned red and then she stamped her feet, "You hate it!"
Qu Xuan smiled evilly, "What's so annoying? How can we not celebrate such a happy day?"
Xue Ya said angrily, "You must have had too many happy days! When you scored a goal while playing football, you were so happy that you had to fire a cannon to celebrate; when you ran into me in school, you were so happy that you had to fire a cannon to celebrate; you even ate a piece of ice cream
It’s such a great joy, we have to fire off cannons to celebrate!”
"Other people are like, 'There are only cows that plow, but no fields that are plowed.' I feel like if this continues, my field will really be plowed through!"
Seeing Xue Ya's shy look, Qu Xuan burst out laughing. His smile was always so bright, and his seven shining teeth shone like seven suns.
After laughing, Qu Xuan leaned into Xue Ya's ear and whispered, "Look, what's the use of just being angry? Since you can't get angry, then work hard and tire me out!"
"After all," he lengthened his voice, and then winked at Xue Ya, "I hope to die on you."
Xue Ya:
"Qu Xuan!" Xue Ya was so embarrassed that her voice rose an octave higher.
But then, her words were blocked by Qu Xuan, and then she was picked up by the princess and carried all the way to the bedroom.
For a time, guns and guns were equally famous, and the house was filled with "pink", which made people feel young and good.
Apart from
The dishes that haven't been turned off are still burning there.
So, Su Yang received a call from Qu Xuan in the middle of the night
When he received Qu Xuan's call, Su Yang was still reading a book.
After answering the phone, Qu Xuan's voice was a little low, "President, are you asleep?"
