Chapter 1407 Feasibility Report
After a period of silence, the professor still did not dare to immediately approve Ancier's crazy plan.
Taking the initiative to create a plague or something sounds outrageous.
More importantly, he had limited understanding of the sarcopterygium and the special plague that was formed by the symbiotic combination of fungal spores and miasma microorganisms.
If something goes wrong in any link and there is a biochemical crisis or something, no one will be able to laugh.
Hunters are mostly opposed.
On the contrary, the leader of the third phase of the group, who usually gave people a calm and calm impression, voted in favor of this crazy plan.
The reason is quite simple.
The research base has been living in the wild for nearly thirty years. When it comes to understanding the Miasma Valley and the Corpse Dragon, no one in the entire investigation team can match her.
She put down her pipe and said: "You all know that the miasma in the Miasma Valley is composed of some kind of microorganisms. This kind of creature is afraid of high temperatures and is also afraid of light.
They can be easily dispersed with flames, and when exposed to sunlight, these microorganisms will die and become inactive within a very short period of time.
Do you know why Lu Coral Platform is directly above the Miasma Valley, but has never been affected by miasma?
It is precisely because when the rising miasma comes into contact with sunlight, it immediately loses its activity and turns into pure nutrients.
That's right, what feeds the countless coral polyps on the mainland coral platform is actually the miasma that has been 'inactivated' by sunlight.
So this miasma is not as scary as you think. "
After proposing this conclusion, she paused for a second before continuing: "Next, let's talk about the miasma released by the Corpse Dragon.
That kind of miasma is different from the miasma naturally formed in the Miasma Valley. Miss Feng Ying should understand this. "
"Uh-huh."
Feng Ying, who had had a close battle with the Miasma Corpse Dragon, nodded quickly, "The miasma attached to the Corpse Dragon's body is blue-gray, while the miasma that pervades the canyon is dark yellow."
"That's right, the bluish-gray miasma released by the Corpse Dragon has a corrosive power that far exceeds the ordinary miasma naturally formed in the valley, and it is directly commanded by it.
Take the Paralyzed Thief Dragon as an example. The Paralyzed Thief Dragon, which has long been accustomed to the environment of the Miasma Valley, is able to ignore the ordinary miasma environment.
However, the miasma of the Corpse Dragon can still corrode them, plundering their lives and turning them into nutrients to feed the Corpse Dragon.
It can even be understood that this special miasma is part of the 'organs' of the corpse dragon's body, and those microorganisms are also a special kind of body cells. "
"Is this gray miasma directly released by the Corpse Dragon also afraid of fire and sunlight?" Julius quickly grasped the key.
"Of course, this is also the main reason why the Corpse Dragon cannot leave the Miasma Valley, and the emergence of a certain fungus has completely changed this situation."
The leader of the third phase team glanced at Feng Ying, "About two years ago, Master Yuanye discovered the existence of this fungus in the Miasma Valley.
After Miss Feng Ying's investigation, it was confirmed that the fungus and the cadaver dragon had reached some kind of wonderful symbiotic relationship.
After combining with the spores of those fungi, the weakness of the Corpse Dragon's blue-grey miasma's fear of sunlight has been compensated to a large extent.
This also gave the Corpse Dragon the ability to leave the Miasma Valley and survive in the outside world.
We regard it as a special individual and name it - Miasma Corpse Dragon.
Well, that’s what Mr. Anhill hopes to ‘cultivate’. "
".I see." Julius glanced at Ancil thoughtfully.
When they heard Ancier describe his plan before, they were still a little confused, but now they finally understood the reason.
Well, this guy is a dangerous person. We need to add a number to his file later and remind the guild to pay more attention.
"However, according to my subsequent research, the combination of spores and miasma is actually not that close." The leader of the third phase team changed the subject.
“The terrifying thing about the Miasma Corpse Dragon is that it can release spores over a large area, and the spores parasitize flowers, trees, and even animals, forming countless sporangia.
After the sporangia mature, the spores are further sprayed into the environment, making the air full of spores like mist. This is the origin of the word "fog" in the word "miasma".
The existence of spore mist will greatly increase the ability of Miasma Corpse Dragon to release miasma and control it.
But after all, the spores are only parasitic on it, not part of its body like miasma.
The relationship between spores and miasma is like a glove and a hand. Without the glove, the hand can still move, but it has lost some functions and protection.
And without the hand, the glove is just a piece of cloth on the ground. "
When the professor heard this, a flash of understanding flashed under the thick lenses of his glasses.
"I just want to ask you a question, if the Mist Miasma Corpse Dragon dies, will the miasma combined with the spores also lose its activity, right?"
"Yes, part of the microorganisms that form the miasma will be inactivated, and the spores will turn back into ordinary spores.
I have done experiments on this.
The spore samples combined with the miasma will naturally lose their activity if they are kept away from the miasma corpse dragon for a period of time.
It's like cutting off a hand. So what if there are still gloves on the severed hand? Can it still move on its own? "
The professor pondered for a moment, "In that case, the feasibility of this plan is relatively high.
If we encounter the worst case scenario and the plague has a tendency to spread outside the island, we will directly kill the Mist Miasma Corpse Dragon.
Prevent the spread of the disease from its roots. "
The professor looked up at Ansil, "But to be honest, I'm still not very reassured.
I allow you to go to the Miasma Valley to collect spore samples, but after that, I will personally check those spore samples.
After repeatedly confirming that there are no problems, we can start the 'cultivation' of the corpse dragon."
"Of course." Ansil shrugged.
For him, this is just a plan that he came up with temporarily.
If it is feasible, it would be the best.
If the risk is too high and the plan is eventually terminated, there is nothing to regret, it's just a waste of time.
It's better to say that with the professor who personally established the Crazy Dragon Disease Research Institute and scholars who have in-depth research and understanding of various epidemics and microorganisms, he can safely implement this plan.
"In this case, the matter of taking spore samples will be handed over to your Silver Edge team."
The professor was interrupted by Ansil halfway through his words.
"No need. It will take at least a week to go back and forth to the Miasma Valley. It's a waste of manpower for the whole team to go there. I can go alone just to collect some samples."
"I'll go with you." Gale leaned over. "We took off the 'clothes' of the Miasma Hazrat with our own hands. It's safer to go with two people."
"Okay."
"By the way." Gordon said at this time, "If you go to the Miasma Valley, don't forget to go to the research base and bring the Miasma-resistant stone.
If you have to hunt the Hazrat in the end, the Miasma-resistant stone is the key."
"Okay." Ansir raised his chin and agreed.
Then he turned to Feng Ying and said, "Let Mushroom follow us this time. They are the natives of the Miasma Valley and should be able to help a lot."
Feng Ying asked Mushroom for his opinion. After seeing the latter nodded, he said reluctantly, "You have to take good care of it."
Seeing that Anxiel's itinerary was confirmed, Gordon grinned again and asked with a smile:
"When you two go to the Miasma Valley, we can't just wait here. Do you have any other crooked ideas?"
"Yes."
Anxiel said casually, "Didn't we find the Exterminating Dragon? The Exterminating Dragon has the habit of preying on ancient dragon species. Its breath will make other ancient dragons feel fearful and uneasy.
Look around. There should be a lot of thorns left where the Exterminating Dragon is active. Collect those thorns and stick them all over the island.
Well, no one should sleep."
