Chapter 360 Suspended Death

"Inject as little venom as possible, don't kill this one." Seeing that the centipede was about to attack the second mouse, Su Jing emphasized it again.

"The mouse didn't die before." The centipede stopped, and the tender voice entered Su Jing's ears. This centipede should be very young, and the voice transmitted through the longevity card was similar to that of a little boy. However, the intelligence of the creatures from the immortal anti-time and space is different, and the communication is much more fluent than ordinary animals, it is like talking to a normal person.

"Not dead? How could it be?" Su Jing was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to touch the mouse that stretched out its limbs. The body has become cold, there is no breathing, and there is no heartbeat. Is this still not dead?

"Wait." After five seconds, the mouse's heart suddenly jumped, very faintly. If it wasn't for Su Jing's sensitive sense, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it. Su Jing's eyes lit up, and after waiting for about a minute, he found that the mouse's heart beat every five seconds.

"It's really not dead?" Su Jing was shocked. Generally speaking, the smaller the animal, the faster the heartbeat. An elephant's heart rate is twenty or thirty beats per minute, a human's heart rate is sixty to one hundred beats per minute, and a mouse's heart rate is sixty to one hundred beats per minute. The heartbeat is about five hundred beats a minute. However, the rat's heartbeat is now about twelve times a minute. In this state, can it not die?

"It's really not dead, so it's easy to preserve the prey and keep the meat delicious." The centipede explained.

"How long will this state last?" Su Jing asked.

"About two days. After two days, you will wake up, you will only be a little weak, it will not cause much harm, and you may even launch a resistance. Therefore, it is best to eat the prey within two days. If you really can't finish it, just wake up. The second injection before, but repeated injections may kill the prey, and once the prey dies, the meat will easily deteriorate and become unpalatable." The centipede seemed to think that Su Jing wanted to ask for instructions on how to deal with the prey, and explained in detail.

"So that's the case, this poison is really useful." Su Jing's eyes lit up slightly, this venom is like the legendary feign death agent, the heart rate of rats is so much faster than that of humans, and it is reduced to once every five seconds after injection. Will the heartbeat become slower when people are injected?

In that case, even if you go to the hospital for examination, you will be judged as dead, right? Of course, even if this venom is only used as an attacking weapon, it is very powerful. It can knock down the enemy at once. Even if it doesn't die, it will take two days to wake up. Isn't this time at your disposal?

"Change the amount of venom to test the effect." Su Jing instructed, and the centipede did as it was told, changing the amount of venom to inject into the mice. After dozens of experiments on mice, Su Jing found that the more venom injected, the slower the heartbeat, the better the effect of suspended animation, and the longer the suspended animation, but the closer to the real death. really die. On the contrary, it will approach a conscious state. If the venom is too low, the mouse will not suspend death, but will return to normal after a period of sluggishness.

"If it can be tested on humans, and then by controlling the amount of venom, three kinds of medicines can be formulated: a slowing agent, a suspended animation agent, and a death agent, then this venom is definitely very useful, but who should I ask for the experiment?" Su Jing suddenly I regret sending Song Junhao to prison. Wouldn't it be great to use him as an experiment?

"By the way, can this venom be used as medicine?" Su Jing suddenly thought about it. As we all know, poison is often medicine. Otherwise, snake venom would not be so easy to sell. Although snake venom can be deadly, it can be used well. Cancer treatment, anticoagulation, hemostasis, labor pain, beauty and other effects. Centipede venom is similar to snake venom, and it also has many medicinal values ​​such as anti-toxic, anti-cancer, relieving wind and relieving spasm.

The venom of this giant centipede from the immortal anti-time and space is so magical, what medicinal use can it be used for?

Su Jing suddenly remembered such a report that he had read. It is said that scientists have studied the body size, lifespan and other characteristics of various creatures, and they have finally found a decisive indicator of the length of life - the number of heartbeats.

Specifically, each animal, regardless of species and size, basically beats around 1.5 billion times in its finite lifespan. Therefore, generally speaking, animals with faster heartbeats have shorter lifespans, and animals with slower heartbeats have longer lifespans.

This phenomenon also applies to humans. Among humans, those with long-lived heartbeats generally have slower heartbeats, while those with fast heartbeats generally have short lifespans. Of course, accidental deaths such as diseases and accidents are excluded.

Athletes have a fast heartbeat when they are exercising, but more often when they are not exercising. Usually, their heartbeat is much slower than that of ordinary people. Because the heart gets better exercise, the myocardial fibers become thicker, the ventricular wall becomes thicker, and the heart itself expands, and it does not need to beat so fast to meet the needs of the body. Therefore, people who exercise regularly will actually have less heartbeat, and their bodies will be healthier and live longer.

So there is a theory that heartbeat determines lifespan.

Su Jing thought, can this centipede venom be used in this area, and even can it be used to practice the legendary Taoist turtle breathing technique? Wouldn't that just live as long as a tortoise?

"This venom is worth studying. You have to find a chance to test it. Of course, it is best to find someone you can trust, otherwise it will be easily leaked. After all, those researchers will be very excited to see this venom, right?"

Su Jing took a small glass bottle and let the centipede inject it a little bit, only to find out that the venom was white and translucent. He carefully covered it and put it in the storage bag, ready to take it for a test.

"It's so tiring!" Centipede did the experiment according to Su Jing's request, wasting a lot of venom and was a little weak.

"These are for your reward. Eat them quickly. I'll buy you a lot of insects and let you eat enough." Su Jing said, and threw the two jade-toothed fish to the centipede, and the centipede quickly ate it, calling "Delicious, delicious," and obviously likes to eat.

Now that he knows the magic of this centipede's venom, Su Jing will naturally treat it better and take good care of it.

However, in the future, it is not possible to feed all the jade tooth fish, and it must be mixed with ordinary food, otherwise the jade tooth fish will consume too fast. I just asked about this centipede. Like ordinary centipedes, it likes to eat all kinds of insects, but there are no insects that big on the earth enough for this centipede to eat. Come to feed the fish to feed the poultry insects, anyway, insects are not expensive.

"There are guests."

"Wang Zhuo, Boss Ji, Boss Zhou."

Two parrots flew in to report, Su Jing was a little puzzled, Wang Zhuo's arrival was normal, with his relationship with him, he had a lot of business to discuss, and he might come here for a meal if he had nothing to do, but Boss Ji and Boss Zhou were Which two? Confused, he went downstairs to open the door.
