Chapter 411 The Possibility of Symbiosis
When everyone was confused by the device and leaned against the wall, only Martin straightened his back. He helped Hannah up: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Rorschach recovered first. He ordered: "Please ask Teacher Caroline and Miss Hannah to rest and continue the test. Andre will be responsible for recording the experimental information. I will take Martin to check his body."
Without waiting for others to react, Rorschach dragged Martin out of the isolation room and entered another room.
"This is..."
"Does it look familiar?" Rorschach brought him to the previous biological laboratory. It was still the same disinfection process. After entering, there were all kinds of jars and small animals raised.
There was also a construct with multiple hose arms feeding small animals dedicated to magic. It opened the cage, and a sharp explosion came from inside. The construct stuffed the food into the cage and closed it immediately, and the sound disappeared. It is a good container to isolate smells and sounds when necessary.
However, Martin noticed that the wall facing the door before had become a transparent glass greenhouse. It was lush inside, but if you look closely, the plants planted were a bit monotonous.
The light source in the greenhouse should be artificial. When they came in, it had changed from the midday sunlight to a dim afterglow.
Rorschach followed Martin's gaze and explained briefly: "Since the war, the raw materials for producing energy potions have been cut off, so new ones are being cultivated now. Don't go in through the door."
Martin didn't delve into the reason, but just followed the instructions honestly. Rorschach went through the magic testing process again and was amazed:
"When Andre tested you, he just wrote down 'no magic', but now it seems that you are much more special, Martin. Even the plants in the greenhouse now have a stronger spiritual light than you."
Martin had heard the familiar comments before, and his mood fluctuated little at this time. He shrugged: "Yes, I know I don't have talent."
"No, no, no, as long as you are special enough, it can definitely be developed into some kind of advantage. For example, at this moment, the most suitable thing for you to do is to record the experiment on behalf of Andre - in the isolation room, only you are not affected by the magic-banning device."
Martin felt better after being comforted. Rorschach took out the living water microorganisms from the pendant on his chest: "Look at the results of your feeding."
He opened it and found that the biological activity inside was not very good. Rorschach could see the gel slowly wriggling in the bottle, but the bacterial mass was filled with the breath of "lying flat" and was listless.
Is it also the reason why Martin's magic power is too low? Rorschach divided half of the amount, added a small amount of white sugar to the small bottle to "replenish the body" of these little guys, and resealed it and returned it to Martin.
The sample taken out has another use.
Rorschach opened a metal box, and Martin, who was standing beside him, suddenly felt a chill. The mage took out the slime mold found in the Black Forest.
In the petri dish, they were white like flesh, samples cultivated in the Forest Tower, and were used to replace the broken respiratory organs of a tuberculosis ghost. Now the recovered boy changed his name and became Mr. Hasse's assistant.
Rorschach sprinkled the microorganisms cultivated by Martin evenly on it, just like sprinkling berry jam on cream. However, the combination of the two is not a wonderful dessert. The two began to pupate and entangled with each other.
Rorschach dripped an appropriate amount of culture solution, resealed the petri dish, and put it back in the "refrigerator". Before the heavy and thick door of the box was closed, the active bacteria inside made the glass cover crackle.
"As you can see, I mixed the two organisms together. They didn't merge at first, but fought. So put them in a low-temperature environment and give them an arena that is not suitable for survival. Ideally, they won't fight to the death, but may stop fighting and coexist with each other."
When the elves of the Black Forest were first discovered, the white mycelium, plant analogs, and other microorganisms coexisted to form the body. The Forest Tower extracted these mycelium and cultivated them separately.
Since the discovery of mycelium and living water microorganisms is related to Rorschach, he can still receive the follow-up research results of the Forest Tower in the first time, and occasionally get samples.
Professional research is done by professional mages. Rorschach made bold attempts under the theoretical guidance of the Forest Tower. For example, starting from the symbiotic habits of mycelium and the clustering characteristics of living water bacteria, he forced two potential microorganisms to "match".
"The white tissue you saw before can even be used to repair and replace some human organs, but it also requires multiple generations of special cultivation.
"As you can see, if the two little guys can coexist, they are likely to establish a symbiotic relationship with humans."
Rorschach's words made Martin swallow: "You mean, if I can..."
Rorschach interrupted him: "But the current mixing is just an attempt, and it cannot guarantee success. So you have to continue to cultivate the microorganisms in the vial to provide materials for subsequent experiments."
"Yes!" Martin answered with more energy when he saw hope.
Assuming that everything goes well, Martin can form a symbiotic relationship with the two microorganisms and gain the ability to cast spells. But there is still a risk. It would not be fun if Martin turned into a monster.
Rorschach's eyes swept across the empty cages.
I hope Martin's special physique can bring hope, and we need to add a few more insurance measures to reduce the risk.
When the two went out, the experiment in the isolation room happened to be over. Caroline and Hannah tested all the spells logged into the "Spell Cloud" as planned, and Andre recorded the anti-interference effect.
"Ugh." Hannah vomited as soon as she went out.
The obsidian silver wire wall of the isolation room originally had a strong shielding effect, but this also meant that the magic power that was expelled would not form a dead magic zone without magic power, but would be reflected by the wall and flow back, giving a "super double".
I don't know when the construct followed Rorschach and Martin out, and a hose hand stretched out, accurately received the vomit, and then handed over water.
Hannah drank the water that was originally used to feed the animals without thinking.
"Teacher Rorschach, I will go back and sort out the results and data of the experiment, and give it to you tomorrow. There are still things to do in the factory, so I will leave first."
"Thank you for your hard work." Rorschach signaled that others could leave, and he saw Martin helping Hannah out of the hall of the wizard tower.
Caroline did not leave, she still needed to check the stability of the portal, especially after the isolation room triggered a continuous surge of magic power.
She had another purpose: "What is this?"
"It's a construct that takes care of the arcane garden for me, so it's codenamed 'Gardener'. It can also be used to clean the tower."
This construct has short legs, but its arms are very long, and it looks like it's very good at work.
Caroline stared at Rorschach seriously: "This construct is not controlled by the tower spirit."
