Chapter 239 Theseus's Dragon?
It is a strange ring-shaped plant with thorns like a crown.
The "crown", an ornament worn by leaders, itself embodies various cultures and is a manifestation of culture and history.
The "crown" that people are familiar with, the headband-style headdress, itself originated from the "wreath".
Different regions have different symbols of royal power.
Even if it is the same headdress, different regions have different shapes and development histories, creating different appearances.
In early societies, the tools used by humans became a symbol because of their small number.
But after gradually being manufactured, as a tool for rulers, because the rulers, because these leaders themselves gradually separated from production, they would gradually become symbolic and gradually turn into ornaments.
In most countries, the scepter comes from early culture.
And because the early leaders and rulers themselves were the high priests of various primitive religions.
**** is an ancient and primitive ruling structure.
In the country where he was alive, the early cultural settlement of Sanxingdui unearthed a wooden stick wrapped in gold, which was named the Shang Golden Scepter.
Ancient Egypt had flails, ankhs, and pear-shaped and disc-shaped scepters.
Until his lifetime, a certain religion still retained the symbolic artifact of the scepter.
Most of the tools that were eliminated in the early days were transformed into tools. In the development of cultures in different regions, the artifacts transformed into symbols of royal power were also different.
Just for the scepter alone, some are symbolized and decorated with sickles for harvesting,
some are symbolized and decorated with stone axes and stone hammers used to hunt animals in the Stone Age.
Some are symbolized and decorated with trophy bones of killing certain large prey.
In the country and region where he lived during his lifetime, the symbol of royal power such as the scepter was abandoned very early, and it may even have disappeared before the "country" was created, when it was still a state or even a settlement.
But it is not necessarily the case. After all, according to the latest research results he learned during his lifetime, the country where he lived did not have a single origin, but multiple tribes developed simultaneously, from settlements to states, from states to kingdoms, and then conquered each other to unify.
Some use containers for holding water and food as symbols of royal power, some use exquisite clothes as symbols of royal power, some use jade carvings as symbols of royal power, and some use carved totem huabiao as symbols of royal power.
The crown is one of the typical ones.
The origin includes but is not limited to the operation of covering the head with various prey skulls or furs.
As far as Yao Yan knows, the two most famous sources of the ring-shaped and headband-style "crown" are the headband caps of ancient Persia, a semicircular crown.
One is often considered to be the laurel wreath that appeared in the "Greek" period.
At least, the shape of Yao Yan's crown of thorns comes from ancient Rome.
The crown given by ancient Rome to the leader who returned triumphantly.
It's a pity that Yao Yan doesn't know whether this is the culture inherited by ancient Rome from ancient Greece, or vice versa, whether ancient Greece learned it from ancient Rome, or whether it originated from the same primitive religious period.
Otherwise, it can be used as a basis for dating the source in a certain trial space later.
"Plant" is a patch shape that Yao Yan thinks is most suitable for the jungle dragon.
First, because their gene template originated from demons, and now they still retain the ability to photosynthesize like plants.
It is a better way to use the extended plant-oriented ability as a patch template.
Second, because the reproduction speed and desire of dragons and dragon people are really not good enough to meet his plan.
Of course, it is not to let dragons and dragon people reproduce like plants. Plants only reproduce a few times a year, which is even more impossible to meet his requirements.
What he wants is for dragons and dragon people to cross-reproduce with plants.
Let plants be used as a reproduction tool for dragons and dragon people.
This is also an experiment for him to try to imitate the mechanism of those "producers" who specialize in producing demon eggs in the demon city.
If successful, then a new classification can be opened up among dragons and dragon people, and because it is produced among dragons, it can be accepted by dragons and dragon people.
As for whether dragon people and dragons will accept it?
The pursuit of power, life, and status will make their biological instincts confidently pursue.
However, in fact, this dragon crown of thorns was the tool he used to do "gene adjustment" before.
An upgraded and improved version of the tool he used to make the gene template of the dragon.
However, he made this tool alive and made this tool itself into a gene template of a creature.
A plant driven by his will, which would wither as long as he evacuated the mother Shadow Crow.
In the dragon's residence, dragons were watching a strange plant.
The strange ring-shaped thing and the slightly swaying branches and leaves made them sure that this thing was a plant.
As a demonstration, Yao Yan also used the collection-type dragon, the Dragon of Wisdom, which he controlled, as a model to combine with this plant.
The dragon crown of thorns worn on her head did not pierce her keratin scales, but only hugged the scales on her head.
The head is the location where most biological senses are aggregated and processed because of vision, senses, and movement direction.
Therefore, the head, as a key point, will be valued.
Yao Yan will certainly pay attention to avoid rejection by the dragons.
Originally, his plan was that this plant could directly pierce the dragon's body with its spikes, obtain the dragon's cell genes for template modification, and when the dragon reproduces and lays dragon eggs, the modified gene template is made into dragon eggs.
But later he made a change.
Depending on whether the dragon crown of thorns is placed on the dragon eggs or on the dragon itself, different effects are formed.
The dragon egg modification is the effect of the dragon crown of thorns placed on the dragon eggs.
After the dragon wears it and forms a symbiotic relationship, the dragon crown of thorns will gradually combine with the dragon itself over time and become a part of the dragon's body. Intervene in the cell replication process of the dragon's body and use Yao Yan's new template to replace the original gene.
This operation comes from the technology of artificial humans transforming demon hunters in the paradise.
Demons need to develop to a certain stage and cannot continue to grow before they will develop a second, third, and fourth time.
But the demon hunters in the paradise can directly enter the stage of additional development through artificial intervention.
This technology is very mature. For Yao Yan, the main thing to do is actually to improve the dragon's gene template and adjust the gene tool sites.
There is also the issue of cell rejection.
But these are nothing in front of the ability of the Deformed Shadow Crow.
What Yao Yan needs to pay more attention to is that at this stage, he will start with new gene template cells and undergo another high-speed growth and metabolism.
It only takes half a month for this wise dragon to complete the replacement of all the cells in his body:
"Theseus Dragon?"
