How to become a mermaid

Chapter 441 Ole is saved!
It has been two days since Shaman Lele experimented with Aore and the mutant fish.

In the past two days, he really encountered the mutated monsters from Digea again, and they were not just one, but several of them gathered together.

Although the number of intruders was more than before, because they already had experience in cleaning up, Shaman Lear and the others did not encounter any trouble, and instead solved these guys faster than before.

It is reasonable to say that it should be a relaxing thing to solve the troublesome enemy, but Shaman Lair is not happy at all.

The thing about the mutated monster staring at his soul has always made him a little bit worried.

"Why on earth...Edwin has never seen my real body, only me in the form of a mouse!"

"He has such great powers, can he play tricks on me from a distance?"

"But if it wasn't him, then who did it?"

These few questions have been circling in his mind, making him feel a little out of control these two days, and he doesn't even enjoy eating.

However, this state of his will soon come to an end, because the big monster bird sent by Moni has finally arrived!

The big monster bird arrived in the afternoon, and all the dragons, including Shamanleir, were lying on the coast to bask in the sun.

Just when they were drowsy from the sun, Leon suddenly got up from the ground, raised his head and yelled in the direction of the sky: "Come down!"

Hearing its sound, all the dragons looked up in unison, and found a small black spot approaching rapidly.

And the figure in the sky seemed to have heard Leon's order, and flew faster all of a sudden, and even made a sound of piercing the air between the flapping of its wings, piercing through the clouds and appearing in the sight of all the dragons .

However, its speed seems to be too fast, and it seems that it will hit the ground soon.

No, it's not like it seems, it really happened!

"Boom!" There was a dull impact, and the big monster bird that delivered the letter plunged into the ground like an arrow, and braked with its face!

"Quack quack quack quack quack!"

There was a panicked cry on the beach, and the big monster bird flapped its wings desperately and twisted its buttocks, trying to pull its huge head out of the ground.

"Crack!" Seeing its embarrassing appearance, Leon covered his face a little bit unbearably.

Other dragons and sea anemones can give birth to good sons, so how come their offspring look like this!
Ah... It's really difficult for a dragon to live, and the fate is unfair!
"Are you okay? Want me to help you?"

Just when Leon was beating his chest and feet in his heart, feeling that the fate was unfair, Shamanlael had already come to the big monster bird and extended a helping hand to it.

With his efforts, the huge head of the big monster bird was lifted up little by little, and finally pulled out from the ground with a "boo"!

"Quack quack!"

Finally regaining freedom, the big monster bird screamed, fluttered its wings and danced on the ground.

While dancing, it still didn't forget to use its mouth to bite the wrapping belt tied to its body, and put down the wrapping on its back.

Only a "click" sound was heard, and the package fell to the ground, and it officially completed the mission of delivering the letter.

Seeing that the thing he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, Shamanlael couldn't care less about anything else, and hurriedly picked up the package from the ground, and took out a book inside.

This book is indeed as old as what Moni said, the paper has turned yellow and black, and there are even many traces of moths on it, almost every corner of the page is incomplete, and it does not look Know how many years it has existed.

"90.00% of the little secrets of the sea anemone that nine Auer star people don't know... This book should be right, I hope it can help me!" He whispered the title of the book on the cover page, Sha Manrell opened it with anticipation.

A fragrance of knowledge (a musty smell) hits the nostrils.

"Ahem!" He couldn't help coughing twice, and fanned the smell overflowing from the book with his hands, then carefully pinched the brittle pages of the book, and turned to the part introducing the blue flashpoint sea anemone.

[Blue flash point sea anemone, a common small and medium-sized sea anemone species in the ocean.

According to the survey, the sea anemone is mostly distributed in tropical waters, prefers to live alone, dioecious, and the mating season is from June to August every summer.

During the annual mating season, each male blue flashpoint anemone produces about 50 billion to 100 billion reproductive cells.

Among them, less than one in [-] can successfully pair with female germ cells, and even after successful pairing, only one in ten thousand can develop into an adult.

Female blue flashpoint anemones mature at about ten to 12 years of age, while males mature sooner, taking up to eight years.

The adult blue flash point anemone is about one meter in diameter (there is no big difference in size between male and female). Even after sexual maturity, it will not stop growing, but will continue to grow at a slower growth rate. until the physical function declines.

According to statistics, the average lifespan of blue flashpoint sea anemones is about 50 years, and females generally live longer than males.

Among them, the blue flashpoint sea anemone that grows in the volcanic area has abnormal behavior, and occasionally shows signs of life span exceeding the limit of the race and signs of physical regression.

Through the research on this part of sea anemones, it is found that when these sea anemones are in an extremely high temperature environment of more than [-] degrees, the body surface will secrete a large amount of opaque jelly-like substances, wrapping the whole body into a pupal shape to survive the crisis.

Among them, most sea anemones will quickly emerge pupae within a few days after pupae.

After emerging from the pupae, their shape has not changed significantly, but most of the injuries they suffered before will be repaired, and their heat resistance has been greatly improved, and they can even survive around submarine volcanoes.

However, a small number of sea anemones never chrysalis, and will "reborn" into a new blue flash point sea anemone until a few days later.

For these sea anemone pupae that take a long time to hatch, we have made the following attempts.

One, artificially cut open the sea anemone before it emerges naturally.

There is no shadow of the sea anemone inside the cut sea anemone pupa, only a mass of semi-viscous liquid matter and a very small part of solid matter remain.

This part of solid matter basically only appeared in the upper part of the sea anemone pupae. After identification and analysis, it was found that they were the remaining tissues of the sea anemone before pupation.

For the convenience of calling, we named this part of the residual tissue "basal".

The cut sea anemone pupae were left untreated, and placed in the water to observe their changes. Two days later, the sea anemone pupae turned black and smelly, and the base rotted and deteriorated. Soon after, it was declared completely dead.

Second, cut the sea anemone pupa into two parts horizontally, and separate them with a layer of transparent glass in the middle.

A few days later, the upper half of the sea anemone with the base successfully pupated and turned into a small sea anemone whose body functions had returned to its juvenile state.

Everything was normal except that the anemone was smaller than other normal pupated anemones.

The second half of the sea anemone pupae did not pupate for a long time, and died after half a month.

Three, turn the base position.

Through the last attempt, we guessed that the base part is probably the key to the pupation of the sea anemone, so we cut open a sea anemone pupa again, and transplanted the base material located in the upper part of the sea anemone pupa to the lower part.

A few days later, the upper half of the sea anemone pupae that lost the substrate did not pupate, but the lower half successfully pupated, and the results were similar to the last time.

Fourth, cut vertically to divide the base into two.

Both sea anemones died without pupation.

Fifth, transplant the base material of other sea anemones.

In this attempt, we swapped the base material of two sea anemone pupae.

A few days later, the two sea anemone pupae successfully pupated one after another, each turning into a new little sea anemone.

After closer observation, we found that the two new anemones retained some substrate-providing habits.

And as time goes on, they will become more and more like the base provider in appearance and habits, rather than the original "self".

It can be seen that the "rebirth" of the blue flashpoint sea anemone is determined by the substrate. The mucus material transformed into their original body may be just a kind of "nutrient solution", even if some parts are missing, it will not be harmful. How much their final shape matters.

And their "rebirth" is not a real new life, but a process of "self-repair".

We speculate that it may be that the damage these sea anemones have suffered in the extreme environment has exceeded the limit that their bodies can bear, so they chose to give up most of their bodies and keep only important tissues, and based on this Reorganize your body in a way that helps you save yourself.

Although it is such a fragile and small creature, it has such advanced and effective means of self-protection.

If they can crack their self-protection mechanism and apply it to human beings, this will be a great progress for the entire human society! 】

Shamanleir originally thought that this old book was just something written by anthropologists in their spare time.

After all, there are so many valuable creatures in this world, and things like sea anemones that can be seen everywhere in the sea are not special at all, let alone have research value, but I didn't expect them to actually research tricks and research value.

After reading the experiments on sea anemone chrysalis in the book, he immediately felt that he still knew too little about sea anemones, and couldn't help expressing emotion: "It's really underestimating sea anemones to have such abnormal abilities. Woolen cloth!"

"What's the matter, what's written in the book?" Hearing Shamanleir's emotion, several dragons on the side became interested and moved their heads over.

Seeing that they were curious, Shamanlael did not hide it, and held up the books in his hand for them to read.

After carefully reading the description in the book, the eyes of these dragons lit up.

"So, Ole turned into an egg because of the sea anemone's ability!" Leon said this.

"And it should be the same as it was before, because its "base" has not been replaced..." This sentence comes from Neville.

"Since this is the case, as time goes by, it will become more and more like the previous Ole! Then remember the past!" And this sentence comes from Fabrien.

A few of them looked at Shamanleir with burning eyes, as if they had seen the dawn of hope.

However, before they were happy, Alducci poured a basin of cold water down.

"But...the book only says that you will retain your previous habits and habits. Many of these things are subconscious behaviors, and you can do it even without memory!"

"Even if we take a step back, if the memory can really be retrieved, it will be very difficult for us to operate. Brother Ole is so hostile to us now, how can we wait for it to recover naturally?"

"It's impossible to keep it closed until it remembers?"

"And it's nightshade, not an ordinary sea anemone. What if we encounter a special situation and can't remember it, and even hate us from now on, and never forgive us, so what should we do?"

It may be the case that he said the cruelest words in the most innocent tone.

It was just a kind reminder, but unexpectedly, it punctured the beautiful imagination of these dragons and made them wilt instantly.

After hearing what it said, Fabrien instantly showed an angry expression on his face, and reprimanded his son: "When the adult dragon is talking, you young dragon should not interrupt indiscriminately!"

It also knows that what is written in the book is only theoretical knowledge, and accidents may occur in actual operation, but what can it do now, it can't hold Ao Lei's head and shake it all the time, forcing it to remember, right?

"Alducci is right!" Samantel said just when the emotions of several dragons fell into a trough again.

"But...we still have hope!" He flipped through the book, pointed to a page and said, "In addition to waiting for the sea anemone to recover naturally, there are also several ways to effectively stimulate the sea anemone to help How to find their memory as soon as possible!"

Hearing his words, the dragons widened their eyes and looked at the book again.

[Actually, whether the sea anemone after "rebirth" can still be regarded as the previous sea anemone has caused a debate among us.

After all, from the perspective of the most common values, the soul or thought of a creature is the benchmark that determines his identity.

I am me because my soul and mind never change, I remember everything that happened to me from my childhood to the present, and these memories and experiences have made me who I am now step by step.

Even though my age is growing year by year, even if the cells and tissues in my body are renewed and replaced, I am still me because I remember that I am me.

But if I forget all this and never remember it again, am I still me?
And what about these anemones?Do they remember who they are?
Although it is indeed difficult to demand a sea anemone with human values, we still want to know whether these sea anemones still remember who they are after "rebirth".

To this end, we tried to study them in various ways.

In the end, we found that there are two ways to effectively help them recover their memories.

The first is more radical, which is to stimulate them with electrotherapy.

The right amount of electric current can activate the activity of their bodies, and at the same time activate their memories.

As long as it lasts for a month, their memory can basically be restored, but it may also bring some sequelae, such as becoming manic and irritable.

The other method is milder. It needs to bring these anemones to live in their most familiar environment, feed them the most common food, see the most common "partners", and let them repeat some of the things they have experienced before. matter.

In this way, their memories can be slowly recalled.

It's just that these memories don't come out all at once, but appear in fragments. They will think of specific things in specific scenes, and then bit by bit, like a jigsaw puzzle, they will piece together their former self. 】
