Chapter 165 Radiation Gene

"Yan Xia, both your body and mecha are very old now."

Ella was wearing a pink apron with a strawberry pattern and cooking in a 40-square-meter kitchen.

It first served some appetizers, spicy and sour dragon and phoenix liver, grilled Jörmungandr heart, cooked frozen fire demon horn meat, low-temperature slow-cooked Cthulhu octopus tentacles...

The seasoning of each dish was very good, but these top-quality ingredients were actually no different from ordinary meat.

The real main course was just a pot of soup, which contained some chicken wings of the Roc, bones of the bone dragon, roots of the world tree, tail of the Chimera, and spine of Fenrir. The stewed soup was used as a topping and poured on a slice of Kun meat as thin as a cicada's wing.

It was crispy and chewy, and full of flavor.

"I still have a long life, and with your protection, it's okay to get a new one later." After eating the Kun meat, Yan Xia asked Ella to bring the pot of soup over to make a thick soup hot pot as the base.

"But it's not good for you to leave too much."

"You know, the humans in the Federation are very different now."

Yan Xia's main research direction is still biology, and he is well aware of the cutting-edge content of Federation biology.

The average height of humans in the Civilization Federation was more than 2 meters thousands of years ago. Although it has not increased much recently, it has reached 2.10 meters.

This is not a concern. Now the creatures in the Civilization Federation have long stopped developing towards a large body size, but pay attention to their own quality.

To put it bluntly, it is weight.

The average weight of humans in the Civilization Federation is about 628 kilograms.

This number is not wrong, it is above half density.

One reason is that the creatures in the Civilization Federation have begun to generally purchase built-in liquid metal equipment.

For example, the liquid metal lung lobe auxiliary device used to strengthen the breath weighs 10 kilograms, and there are metal skeleton modifications that increase the weight of the bones in the whole body several times, and there are other electronic components in the body, etc.

The second is nanorobots.

Quark robots can certainly do a lot of things, but at the same time, because quark robots are too small, there are many inconveniences. In addition, nanorobots have now matured and can do very delicate things. The most important thing is that nanorobots can be used as an auxiliary to increase the computing power of quark robots, which makes nanorobots in the body become mainstream.

Today's nanorobots are not the kind that are injected with a needle like in novels and movies in the 21st century. The average amount of nanorobots in the body of each citizen of the Civilization Federation is 37.24 kilograms. It can no longer be expressed by specific numbers but by direct weight.

In order to withstand so many built-in machines, the cell structure in the organisms of the Civilization Federation is also continuously optimized.

The cells have become smaller and the density has become greater. Originally, a 2-meter-tall, skinny person would weigh only 100 kilograms, but now it is impossible to guess. The most likely weight is 400 kilograms or more. If he is a little stronger, half-density is basically the bottom line.

The last time Yan Xia went to the hospital to get some samples, he saw someone transfusing blood. The blood was no longer liquid at all, and it felt like mercury.

At that time, Yan Xia suddenly remembered the descriptions in many fantasy novels, blood like mercury slurry, which is actually realized now.

However, if you insist on calculating, there is still a big difference. The density of mercury is 13.59g/cm³, while the blood density of the federal humans is 4.09g/cm³, which is close to the density of titanium.

The small pistols of the 21st century cannot break the skin even without the mecha 9mm bullets. The rifles can break the skin, but it will only bleed.

This is true for humans, and other species as well. Even the rifles of races that originally had exoskeletons or keratinized skin and scales can only leave white marks on them. If you really want to shoot, you have to use armor-piercing bullets.

As for Yan Xia.

Just as Ella said, he has not yet upgraded.

Although there was a wave of upgrades when he left / Star City, that upgrade was mainly to let Yan Xia recover. The technology used was also on the battleship. The battleship had left the Federation Star Region for more than 3,000 years, and the technology was even more backward, so Yan Xia's body has not reached this level yet.

Yan Xia himself didn't care.

This is not because he didn't want to change, but because he felt that there was no need to change now.

Because the current body is far from reaching the level of qualitative change.

"The biological cell technology of the 縸 has been completed. Don't you really want to try it?" Ella brought a large plate of dessert, plus double cream ice cream.

"Really?"

Yan Xia got excited when talking about this.

"Of course it's true."

"We didn't consider the issue of radiation when optimizing the body before, so the original human genes of the Federation can withstand about 1.7Sv of radiation. In the new research, I started to cultivate radiation-resistant genes. I originally wanted to cultivate balanced radiation-resistant genes, but I found that it didn't work."

"If all types of radiation are resisted, the amount of radiation that the gene can withstand will only change from the original 1.7Sv to 2.3Sv, which is not a big difference."

"So I later cultivated a specific gene that can only resist one type of radiation, which increased the tolerable equivalent to 11.71Sv, so that the organism can release 4789 joules of energy without a mecha."

4789 joules is equivalent to 4789 watts per second, 1.33 watt-hours or 0.00133 kilowatt-hours, that is, 0.00133 kWh per hour.

It looks pitifully small.

But in fact, the sockets in the 21st century are all 10A or 16A current plus 220V voltage, which is 2200 watts or 3520 watts. Not to mention the radiation itself, the energy generated by this radiation is enough to supply large household appliances.

"But there is a disadvantage." Ella said.

Yan Xia instantly knew what Ella was going to say.

"Fever, right?"

Radiation itself is actually a kind of electromagnetic wave. You have such a large amount of radiation, so you will get fever, right? If it is bigger, it will directly emit light, or in the eyes of some creatures that use infrared rays, which are invisible to humans, this kind of radiation gene creature is a small sun.

"Yes, but it is not a big problem. As long as the radiation energy is continuously consumed or collected by mecha, this disadvantage can be eliminated."

Ella smiled, and it seemed to want to know what it was like for Yan Xia to glow all over.

"It seems that the upper limit of physical radiation in a short period of time should not exceed 15Sv."

"This is a huge change."

To be honest, Yan Xia was a little moved.

What is radiation?

Radiation is the blue bar of magic, the spiritual energy of immortal cultivation, and the internal force of martial arts, but it is wishful thinking to want to achieve it through any kind of cultivation.

"The power of thought should be able to control radiation." Yan Xia asked.

"Yes, the power of thought itself is mental power, and mental power comes from the electrical signals of the nervous system, which are all electromagnetic forces."

"So magic and the like should be initially realized after the popularization of radiation genes."

Ella's words made Yan Xia agree to genetic modification instantly. He was already impatient to try the feeling of releasing attacks with his own body.
