Chapter 642: Dissecting a Sea Monster
Wang Tao personally escorted everyone back to Changhe Base smoothly.
The follow-up matters were left to Gu Yun to handle. He didn't rest for a moment and came outside the base again. But this time I brought Qu Shilin with me.
Qu Shilin has also been promoted to the sixth level, and is now a genuine sixth-level awakener.
"Wang Tao, where is the sea beast?"
Qu Shilin had just woken up not long ago. If Wang Tao hadn't found her, she wouldn't have known the changes that had occurred in the crack in the past two days.
Qu Shilin was naturally very interested in the sixth-level disaster-level sea beasts, and she was now also a sixth-level awakener, able to withstand the disaster awakening emitted by dead disaster-level creatures.
So when Wang Tao asked her to study sea beasts, she immediately agreed.
"Don't worry."
The golden eagle flew to a barren hilltop. Wang Tao and his team jumped off the golden eagle. Then they saw Lightning's mouth open, and a mini version of the sea beast's corpse spit out from its mouth, and it quickly grew in size.
After Lightning advanced to the sixth level, the black hole-like space in its mouth became much larger and could store a lot of things. But if they are to be digested, they still have to come one by one.
Moreover, Lightning's attack mainly relies on its mouth. If its mouth is not opened, its combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 70%. Therefore, Lightning can currently only be used as a temporary storage space, but it is enough.
Soon, the corpses of more than a dozen sea beasts were spit out by lightning. Like hills, they piled up in front of Qu Shilin.
"..."
Looking at these ferocious-looking big fish, Qu Shilin's mouth became O-shaped.
Although she already knew the information about the sea beasts from Wang Tao in advance, she was still shocked when she saw so many sea beasts with her own eyes and felt the oppression and disaster awakening on the sea beasts.
Can humans really defeat so many and powerful monsters?
Qu Shilin, whose combat power is only 5, said it was hard to imagine.
"These are the sea beasts."
Wang Tao pointed at these sea beasts.
Although the sea beast is dead, there is still a disaster awakening after all. Moreover, we still need to do some research on them to ensure that any accidents may happen, so Wang Tao thought it would be more appropriate to stay outside the base.
Then Wang Tao looked at everyone's blood loss and nodded silently.
After the death of a disaster-level creature, the effect of disaster-level awakening will be greatly weakened. Probably similar to the fifth level disaster awakening.
And the disaster awakening of these sea beasts was not strong to begin with, and now they are dead. So their awakening effect... Wang Tao's visual inspection should only be at the fourth level.
For everyone with 1 million blood at the sixth level, the fourth level disaster awakening naturally poses no threat.
In fact, just as Wang Tao speculated, although everyone was losing blood in front of the corpses of these sea beasts, it was not a big problem. Lan Yulian's random treatment can restore everyone's blood volume to full.
This was the first time for Qu Shilin to experience the awakening of a disaster at such a close distance. She was a little uncomfortable with it, but she was a scientific researcher after all and was very adaptable. After a while there was no problem.
"Which one do you start with?"
Wang Tao asked.
"Just this one!"
Qu Shilin took her toolbox and came to the body of the sea beast closest to her, and then called on everyone to help her.
"Please help me dissect, my knife can't cut..."
"good."
These sea beasts are different from the creatures Wang Tao has seen before. Wang Tao has no understanding of them, so he has to let Qu Shilin, a professional, study them to see how these sea beasts and other mutant beasts, monsters, zombies, etc. , are there any similarities or differences?
In particular, the disaster awakening of the sea beast is similar to what Wang Tao thought - it is impossible to exert its full strength in the air.
If this is the case, then the threat from sea monsters may not be as great as previously thought.
And if you want to prove this, it's easy. Just get some more water and put the sea beast in the water and give it a try.
One day later.
Wang Tao threw an awakening seed exploded by the sea beast towards the sea beast that had been dissected until only a small half of its body was left. When the seeds landed inside the body of the sea beast, they quickly took root and sprouted. Wang Tao was relieved when he saw this.
"You can plant awakening seeds. It seems that you need at least one-third of the flesh and blood..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Then let's see if the number of Awakening Fruits grown from this half of the corpse will be less. If not, then the next few sea beast corpses will do the same thing..."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Generally speaking, awakening seeds are something that disaster-level creatures must explode. After killing a disaster-level creature, planting the awakening seeds in its body is the result of maximizing benefits.
But these sea beasts are different...
After three days of research, Qu Shilin discovered that the corpses of these sea beasts can be said to be full of treasures——
Its flesh and blood contains a large amount of energy, which can be absorbed by the human body! After humans eat it, their physical fitness and vitality will be enhanced. Its bones, teeth, and scales are extremely hard and have a certain degree of plasticity, and can be used to make weapons and equipment...
The most important thing is that these sea beasts are mutated fish in the sea, not zombies. Although there are impurities in their bodies, they are not yet to the extent of forming zombie viruses. Even if humans eat its flesh and blood, there is no safety issue as long as it is not excessive!
And this is only the preliminary research result of Qu Shilin. In the future, experiments can be continued to see whether the flesh, blood and other things of these sea beasts will react chemically to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Even Qu Shilin has thought of some things, such as adding the flesh and blood of sea beasts to genetic potions and awakening potions. In theory, it can also enhance human physique, and it is better than simply drinking blood and eating meat!
Of course, this is just Qu Shilin's current speculation. Whether this is the case, she will have to continue to do many experiments to confirm.
Anyway, the bodies of these sea beasts are good things for humans.
Therefore, Wang Tao and his party were divided on whether to plant awakening seeds on the corpses of sea beasts.
Because the corpse planted by the awakening seed is equivalent to supplying the energy in the body to the awakening seed, and the corpse cannot be reused.
Whether you want the sea beast corpse or the awakening seeds, you can only choose one of the two.
Some people think that it is better to have the corpse of a sea beast. After all, the flesh and blood of such a large corpse is enough for many people to eat. It can not only keep full, but also improve the strength. How great!
Some people also think that it is safer to turn corpses into awakening fruits. After all, there is no detailed data on how much improvement the sea beast corpse can bring to people, but the awakening fruit can actually promote people and even awaken them. So no need to take risks...
In the end, Wang Tao decided to give it a try first to see how much flesh and blood could make the seeds of awakening germinate.
In the past, when he hunted zombies and monsters, he would often beat the enemies to pieces, but that still did not affect the cultivation of awakening fruits. Therefore, Wang Tao has reason to speculate that planting the Awakening Fruit does not necessarily require a complete corpse!
So Wang Tao is going to test how much flesh and blood can be retained to allow the seeds of awakening to germinate. And see if the number of awakening fruits planted under this situation will be small.
Wang Tao initially used 1% of corpses, and the result was obvious. The seeds of awakening would not take root in these flesh and blood at all.
Subsequently, Wang Tao slowly increased the amount, and finally when it reached about one-third, the awakening seeds were finally willing to take root.
This means that at least one-third of the flesh and blood of the corpse must be preserved, otherwise there will be no way to plant the Awakening Tree.
Now there is only one last question left - how many awakening fruits are grown from one-third of the flesh, and whether the quality has changed.
If there is no change in the quantity and quality of the awakening fruit as before, then only one-third of the flesh and blood of a sea beast will be left. Part of the remaining flesh and blood can be given to the research institute and the city hall, and the rest can be distributed to other people.
Next, continue to study sea beasts and wait for the awakening fruit to mature.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Tao returned to the base.
The base has been very lively these two days, and everyone is talking about sea beasts. Especially those who participated in the last "fishing plan" have become the focus of attention these two days.
The city hall did not ask them to keep it secret, so they all described what happened in vivid detail. Even if many people have not personally participated, just by listening to these descriptions, they can feel the terror of the sea beasts and the power of Wang Tao and others. They all envied the people who could participate in this operation. They would probably brag about such a big scene for a lifetime.
But contrary to the excitement of the people, the city hall is a little worried.
Although the threat of sea monsters has been temporarily resolved, no one can guarantee that sea monsters will no longer appear in the cracks, so the water collection work is still suspended indefinitely.
And since there are sea beasts in this crack, there may be some in other cracks as well. There are many cracks in the world. If there were such sea beasts, their strength would be terrifying. After all, these sea beasts can come ashore!
Then there is the issue of temperature. During the last fishing plan, many senior officials also went out to experience the high temperature outside. They are more worried about high temperatures than sea beasts!
At least Wang Tao and the others of the sixth level of awakening can deal with sea beasts, but what about the high temperature? If the temperature is so high that the barrier cannot withstand it, then the Changhe Base may be in danger...
When Wang Tao saw Gu Yun, the latter had a sad face.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I have some good news for you."
"What good news?"
Gu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the good news.
"Sea beasts are full of treasures..."
Wang Tao shared the research results of the past two days with Gu Yun.
"Fuck! So good!"
Gu Yun was overjoyed when he heard the news.
No matter what difficulties you want to solve, your own strength is the most important and fundamental. If you don't have the strength, even if you know the solution, you may not be able to complete it because your strength is too weak.
Therefore, for the people in Changhe Base, improving their own strength must be one of the most important goals.
And the flesh and blood of sea beasts can enhance people's strength!
Gu Yun was excited when he thought that the sea beast was so huge and could contribute a lot of flesh and blood.
This was definitely the best news he had heard in the past two days.
But suddenly, Gu Yun seemed to have thought of something, and asked quickly:
"By the way, aren't the corpses of disaster-level creatures planted with awakening fruit trees?"
"It is necessary to plant the awakening fruit, but after testing, only one-third of the flesh and blood of a sea beast can make the awakening seeds germinate. After three days, I will see how the awakening fruit is. If there is no problem, then Leave 30% of the flesh and blood to plant the Awakening Fruit, and the rest can be distributed freely," Wang Tao explained with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!"
Gu Yun clenched his fist fiercely.
The overall strength of the base can be improved again!
"However, it is not something that ordinary people can do to eat these flesh and blood. Because these flesh and blood are still emitting disaster awakening continuously, ordinary people can't bear it. It is best to let people above level three use it, and the treatment department personnel must be prepared on the side to prevent accidents..."
"And there are impurities in these flesh and blood. If you eat too much, it may increase the impurities in your body. But after Qu Shilin's test, the impurities brought by eating the flesh and blood of sea beasts are not permanent, but can be discharged through metabolism! So if you want to eat these flesh and blood, you have to eat them regularly and quantitatively. You can't eat too much at one time. After eating a certain amount, you need to stop eating and wait for the impurities to be discharged..."
Wang Tao told Gu Yun all these things and asked him to prepare them in advance. When the awakening fruit is ripe and there is no problem, the flesh and blood of the sea beast will be sent back.
"Okay! I will arrange it!"
Gu Yun immediately patted his chest and said.
After telling Gu Yun about this, Wang Tao left. He didn't rush to find Qu Shilin, but went to the previous crack again.
During the last battle, the water in the crack was dyed red by the sea beasts, just like a blood pool.
But now, the water here has returned to clarity.
If it weren't for the traces of fighting on the shore, you might not even know that a big battle had taken place here.
Wang Tao asked the golden eagle to fly over the crack to see if there were any sea beasts.
After flying for a while, nothing was found, and the water surface was very calm.
It was hard to tell whether he was happy or regretful, Wang Tao shook his head and left here.
Back to the nameless mountain before, Qu Shilin and others were discussing fiercely.
Seeing Wang Tao coming back, everyone talked about today's research results.
"We just pried open the skull of the sea beast, and I finally know why they kill each other so easily-their brains are too smooth and too small!"
As we all know, there is a certain relationship between the number of folds in the brain and the level of intelligence. For example, humans have many wrinkles on their brains, and their heads take up a large proportion of the human body, so humans are relatively smart. However, some small animals have small and smooth brains, so they don’t have much IQ.
Now this kind of sea beast is just like that small animal, with poor intelligence.
In addition, they can devour each other to evolve, and their awakening has no effect on each other, so once provoked, they will easily kill each other.
Then the question is, even this kind of "fool" can be promoted to the sixth disaster level, what about other sea beasts? It can't be that they are all fools...
