Although she had been exposed to medicine since she was a child, she had never seen such a heaven-defying "treatment" method. Even the secret medicine master who had sneaked into the Dan Ding Division couldn't be so exaggerated.
".......So, it is meaningless to just suppress the activity of cells. We should continue to inject the Philosopher's Stone according to the method of bacterial flora culture, and at the same time continue to treat cell tissues to keep them active. We also need to continuously repair the defeated and damaged tissues so that they can continue to fight until the gene splicing is completed?" Yu Luo concluded with an expression of disbelief.
"It seems that we have to take sides and not let any part of the heart win or lose the battle before the gene splicing is completed. I will try my best to draw a "map" of the heart for you. Sister Yu Luo, don't give the medicine to the wrong place." Jiang Yan added after thinking for a while.
However, his calmness made Yu Luo even more crazy:
"We have specialized nanorobots for internal organ imaging, so you don't need to draw a 'map.' But the heart isn't a petri dish. Who could withstand such intense forced division and cannibalism? Aren't you really afraid your heart will turn into a monster and leap out of your chest and run away?"
Repeated activation of cell division leading to uncontrolled division is nothing new. Cancer in mortals and the evil spirit body of immortals all originate from this.
Yu Luo wasn't worried about Jiang Yan getting cancer or acquiring a demonic body, but rather that a terrifying dragon, capable of devouring everything, would hatch from Jiang Yan's heart. A being born in such a brutal way would likely disregard sibling ties and mother-daughter relationships, devouring everyone in one gulp.
After all, the Luofu Chiming clan is too familiar with this script. The dead Bai Yueguang, the gambling Long Zun, the technical friends, the broken family... This script that makes everyone go crazy when they recall it, so let's not repeat it!
Facing Yu Luo's intimidation, Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said calmly:
"Well, Sister Yuluo, what you said makes sense, so don't use relaxants and anesthetics. I will speed up the intake of the Philosopher's Stone and try to force the cells to fight as quickly as possible to avoid the chance of erroneous division."
"As for monsters, we have little Ruan Mei as our last line of defense. If a monster does appear, we can subdue it and hand it over to Ruan Mei for analysis. It might even be a good thing."
Jiang Yan's stubbornness instantly made Yu Luo and other emergency personnel fall into complete silence.
That’s it, just right!
The Luofu Chiming Clan has seen too many Dragon Lords who won't turn back until they hit the wall, and they are too lazy to persuade them anymore.
it works?
At least we have two Dragon Lords in this generation. We can leave one to guard Jianmu instead of wandering around on the front lines all day long. We are much luckier than seven hundred years ago.
It's useless to say anything now. Let Little Ruan Mei start twice before persuading him. At least Mr. Dan Heng is much more honest now than he was in the days of Master Dan Feng after suffering a great crime, isn't he?
So Yu Luo accepted Jiang Yan's suggestion very readily with the self-abandoning spirit of "giving up as soon as the thought of giving up comes, and the world will open up in an instant", and stuffed an alarm into Jiang Yan's hand.
"Okay, but Xiao Jiang, if you find that Miss Ruan Mei is not starting smoothly, you must activate the warning device in advance to buy us a few seconds to rescue you, okay?"
Jiang Yan certainly wasn't so stubborn as to not even consider any means of saving his life. He nodded and took the alarm directly.
"No problem, thank you for your hard work, Sister Yuluo."
Yu Luo was deploying nanorobots by injecting Jiang Yan into the heart, and he felt hopeless. No, Shisui responded:
"It's not hard. I'm just afraid that if I don't work hard now, I won't have the chance to work hard in the future."
Soon, with the high-speed transmission and calculation of the Yuzhao system, Jiang Yan's heart was revealed to everyone, and almost scared all the alchemists out of their demonic bodies.
Which doctor wouldn't be afraid when seeing a heart with electric arcs, small flames, ice particles on its inner wall, constantly wriggling slightly, and different parts fighting over territory or even devouring each other?
You have to know that this is the result after everyone added relaxants and anesthetics and sprayed low-temperature spray to reduce activity.
How did this thing survive before the drug was given? It would be scared away if it swallowed the food! Even the rich evil creatures wouldn't be so exaggerated!
However, Jiang Yan was not surprised by the scene before him. If the Philosopher's Stone had not been almost consumed, judging by the pain it caused him at the beginning, it is very likely that the inner walls of his internal organs would have started dancing the seaweed dance.
We got through it back then. Now everyone knows the principles, has a contingency plan, and even has a final insurance. What is there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan swallowed the remaining three quarters of the "date cake" without hesitation.
Come! The supply airdrop is here!
Like to fight? Then fight to your heart's content!
No one can leave work today until a champion of the chicken-eating competition emerges!
Oops, I've been haunted by a genius! : Chapter 204 Hardware Threshold
As soon as the "date cake" entered his mouth, the second round of Jiang Yan's heart-eating chicken competition officially began.
This time it wasn't just a quarter of the heart participating, but an ultimate melee involving the entire population. Even without any monitoring equipment, the alchemists in charge of first aid could hear the sound of various forces exploding in his chest like popping candy.
The heart, the engine of the body, is no less powerful than any other part. Even a slightly accelerated heartbeat is enough to send a normal person into a state of sweat and exhaustion. More serious still, and emergency medication is required immediately to stay alive. How could anyone withstand such an ordeal? If Jiang Yan hadn't prepared in advance, using the ancient sea water surrounding him as much as possible to replace his breathing and energy flow, this initial wave of violent cardiac reaction alone would have been enough to shut down all his organs and nervous system.
What's even more terrifying is that even though the side effects are so terrible, Jiang Yan still has to bite the bullet and let his whole body continue to endure the continuous impact like the tide.
The reason is simple. If you don't constantly nourish this heart with your own blood, and allow the new blood to nourish and transform the organ, even if you win the game, what relevance will this heart have on you? How can your other organs adapt to this new engine? How can you possibly drive the full power contained within?
Soon, all the organs and nerves in Jiang Yan's body suffered as if they were a small starship equipped with a battleship engine. In a blink of an eye, his whole body began to experience varying degrees of spasms, loss of control, and even cell necrosis.
This reaction originating from the heart is not a disease. The only thing that can stop it is the brain, which is aiding and abetting it. Naturally, there is no medicine for it. The only treatment method available is the unique treatment method of the Immortal Boat - if any part is damaged, the "immortal" power will be used to forcibly activate and regenerate it, and then continue to have fun. If one time doesn't work, try twice. If two times don't work, try ten times, until the disease or injury can no longer take away the damage.
Soon, the emergency teams, having already divided up Jiang Yan's body parts, began to frantically administer medication based on the abnormalities in the organs they were responsible for:
"Second emergency team, we've noticed a sharp increase in liver activity, and we've started injecting sustained-release medication!"
"The third emergency team has discovered a small amount of necrosis in the arm nerve bundle and has begun injecting stem cells to repair it!"
"The fourth emergency team has discovered severe calf nerve spasms and is using physical therapy to alleviate them!"
Thanks to Jing Yuan's allocation of an entire medical ship, Jiang Yan now enjoys medical treatment that is unique even in the Immortal Boat. This allows everyone in his body to be taken care of, so that he won't suffer from complete necrosis or irreparable sequelae.
However, these healers were not so optimistic. Everyone looked at Jiang Yan with a very serious expression.
Isn't this just absurd? How many lives can be saved like this?
Of course, rapid regeneration isn't a panacea; otherwise, the Immortal Ship would have been wiped out long ago. In fact, each rapid regeneration boosts the vitality of the "abundant" energy within the gallbladders of the Immortal Ship inhabitants, or the "immortality" energy within the bodies of the Vajra Clan. Furthermore, intense pain and intense emotions are also formidable enemies of the human spirit, and mental fortitude also determines the survival of the Immortal Clan. Consequently, cases of frantic use of rapid regeneration for emergency treatment, resulting in failures due to this dual effect, are common, with injuries healed only to revert to demonic forms or simply transformed into eggs.
Furthermore, the Luofu Chiming Clan, whose birthplace was nearly destroyed, was well aware of the details behind the Moon Drinking Rebellion. The sudden flesh and blood that created Bai Lu was always a dagger hanging over their hearts. The little creature before them was Bai Lu's creation, so naturally, the same was true.
Even if this little guy is still young, you can't keep forcing it, right? Isn't that just waiting for the birth of an evil dragon? Don't let everyone end up with a heart of a dragon king, but in the end, the person becomes the king of evil dragons. What's the point of that?
However, they soon discovered a strange phenomenon: whenever the part of the body they were responsible for experienced rapid degeneration or rapid regeneration, a faint green light would flash, and then these conditions would suddenly stop inexplicably, as if the excess power of "abundance" and "immortality" had been consumed by these faint lights.
Seeing Jiang Yan, who was exhausted and in pain, relying entirely on his willpower to support himself, but still had no symptoms of demonic body or metamorphosis, the alchemists, especially those from the Immortal Boat, became extremely curious.
Although I already knew that his left arm had been corroded by the Sui Yang Fire, how could he still have the energy to perform such a delicate power manipulation after such a state? It's impossible!
Could it be that these flames have completely integrated into his body? This is too Zhu Ming!
However, even the Zhu Ming people's physique is not so intelligent and magical! Can they merge with our Xianzhou bloodline and produce a few offspring? We Xianzhou people are in need of this!
Ever since the catastrophe, eugenics has always been one of the main research topics of the Xianzhou people. Unfortunately, after receiving the blessing of "abundance" and thousands of years of evolution and adaptation, the Xianzhou people have become a subspecies of primates in the family Hominidae from a biological point of view. They are reproductively isolated from ordinary humans, and it is difficult to introduce high-quality gene fragments to eliminate the hidden dangers brought to the Xianzhou people by the power of abundance.
But even the Chiming Clan has begun to count on this person to give birth to little dragons, so it seems that it is not impossible for him to give birth to a few immortal boat people!
If we no longer fear the demonic body, how bright will the future be for the people of Xianzhou?
When they thought of this bright prospect, if they were not conducting an extremely important experiment, the alchemists would have wanted to take Jiang Yan's blood immediately, make a sample slice, and study it carefully.
However, everyone certainly understood the priorities. Since the excess strength could be consumed automatically, everyone's originally cautious dosage of medicine naturally became more radical. After a period of tossing and turning that was enough to replace all the parts of Jiang Yan's body three or five times, several emergency teams finally managed to stabilize the condition of Jiang Yan's organs and nerves with the help of Tingyun brand fuses.
This situation certainly did not surprise Jiang Yan. His biggest reliance on being so reckless was naturally his sister who had been helping him maintain the balance of the life force in his body.
Unfortunately, the Tingyun cloud protected his other organs and nerves, but not his heart, the battleground for the chicken-eating game. The Suiyang Fire, which could only dissipate energy but not increase other strengths, was useless. He could only rely on adding more water and more flour, and then more water, to keep them fighting vigorously for a chance of a successful merger. Jiang Yan could only bite the bullet and show off his Philosopher's Stone while the First Rescue Team, led by Bai Lu and Yu Luo, resuscitated the losers of the chicken-eating game. The fun continued, the fighting continued, until their genetic fragments were devoured and merged.
After his heart had been churning for who knows how long, Jiang Yan finally heard Yu Luo's voice, which sounded like celestial music:
"One group of cells has successfully engulfed the body! Quick! Inject a relaxant and anesthetic into area A5!"
The first-place cell naturally ends up being suppressed; otherwise, the onslaught of genetically engineered cells would quickly render the game of chicken poker undecided. Therefore, under the drug injection, the activity of these cells quickly decreases significantly, forcing them to lazily remain in their own territory, waiting for their "companions" to decide the outcome.
Fortunately, the genes chosen by Ruan Mei as samples were not weak. Soon, the lucky ones whose genes merged successfully appeared one after another, finally bringing the second round of the melee to a close. With half the number of cells reduced, the third round of battle began with even greater ferocity and intense pain.
However, Jiang Yan didn't care about the additional 100 million points of pain at this moment. At this moment, there was only one thing on his mind:
This method works!
What could be more important than this conclusion?
As long as the road is passable, no matter how many stones there are on the road, you must step over them and hit them without hesitation!
So Jiang Yan rejected the idea of cutting off the nerve connection and burning away the unnecessary painful emotions without hesitation. Instead, he regarded the madly rushing blood and the increasingly intense pain as a tempering of his organs and nerves. Under the admiring or monster-like gazes of all the alchemists, he persisted in finishing the third round of battle without changing his expression.
Unfortunately, when the fourth round, which was also the final round, just started, Jiang Yan found that the pain was not a big deal, but the biggest problem was that his heart cells could not bear it.
Gene merging is not simply the manifestation of recessive genes or gene replacement. Even the length of the genes has changed. Strictly speaking, before and after the merger, it can be considered to have become another species.
In this situation, how could Jiang Yan's body easily adapt to the finals circle genes, which were conceptually close to Gu Long's? Sure enough, not long into the finals circle, even though Jiang Yan's organs and nerves could still rely on the emergency team and Tingyun to keep him alive, his heart condition was in critical condition.
"Xiao Jiang, your skin is starting to bleed!"
"Lady Dragon Girl, continue with first aid, don't stop!"
"A large amount of cellular fluid has been detected in the blood. The cells have begun to undergo large-scale necrosis! Quick! Inject a relaxant to reduce the cellular phagocytosis!"
"No! Relaxers don't work!"
"The heart valve is damaged! Give the medicine quickly!"
"Blood is oozing out of the heart! Use the cryogenic spray!"
Jiang Yan, who had already sensed his heart was being shattered in an instant, loosened his clenched teeth without hesitation. After asking Ting Yun to temporarily burn away his pain, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth:
"Don't waste the medicine! Hurry and record the data! I can only hold out for 30 seconds at most. Then I'll shatter your heart and activate the backup heart!"
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Yu Luo also gave the order without hesitation:
"First emergency team, stop administering medication and prepare to record data! Other emergency teams, seal the blood vessels in twenty seconds until the temporary heart start is complete!"
Seeing that Jiang Yan's heart was about to collapse completely, Yu Luo certainly didn't say anything about rescuing him. He hurriedly recorded the peak data when the heart exploded and made preparations in advance for the next time. This was what a qualified attending physician should do. So in a blink of an eye, everyone got busy:
"Twenty seconds left. A large amount of blood foam has seeped into the patient's lungs. Bring in water from the ancient sea to flush it out!"
"Ten seconds left. Disconnect the aorta and most veins of each organ, open a temporary blood circulation channel, and prepare for impact!"
"Five seconds left, Xiao Jiang, get ready! First aid team, stand by!"
Jiang Yan didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his right hand, turned his palm into a knife, and placed it in front of his chest.
"Five, four, three, two, one, do it!"
However, just as Jiang Yan was about to insert his palm into his chest, he was gently pushed away by a white hand.
Then, the hand gently reached into Jiang Yan's chest for a moment, and then took out Jiang Yan's heart without a drop of blood, and gently put it into an "electric rice cooker" that had been placed next to Jiang Yan at some point.
At the same time, as the clear and strong heartbeat sound began to sound on the right side of his chest, Jiang Yan opened his eyes again.
It was only a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
"How did you come?"
Looking at Ruan Mei, who was clearly underwater but not stained by a drop of water, Jiang Yan asked curiously.
For this crazy scientist, since he said that he would give priority to studying the power of "reproduction", he naturally would not have the leisure time to participate in the experiment of the power of "immortality" in the short term.
Facing Jiang Yan's question, Ruan Mei, who was usually calm and composed, said with a little discomfort:
"I received a notification from her and was a little... worried, so I came to take a look."
However, after she finished speaking, her eyes were once again replaced by the researcher's enthusiasm:
"Good experiment, your progress has exceeded my expectations."
"Thank you." Even though Jiang Yan had just received a new heart and had no strength left in his body, he could only nod slightly to express his gratitude.
It was not until now that Jiang Yan discovered that his identity as an "assistant" seemed to have quite a lot of value. This genius who almost never interacted with anyone could actually come all the way to help and protect him. Even the Black Tower would be envious of this honor.
Of course, it would be better if the appearance was not so shocking.
Even Jiang Yan was startled, not to mention the other alchemists who, except Yu Luo, were meeting Ruan Mei for the first time. They were all stunned and almost forgot the first aid they were supposed to do.
How did she come? When did she come? How come we didn't feel anything?
Should we ask her? Say hello? Why don't I want to go?
Why didn't I have any doubts at all, and didn't even want to ask her? Is this question itself a doubt?
It’s so strange, what’s wrong with me?
However, Ruan Mei had no intention of responding to anyone's questions. She just calmly touched Jiang Yan's cheek for a full minute before she took out a complete heart from the "rice cooker" and stuffed it back into Jiang Yan's chest. She then said calmly:
"I have preserved the latest genetic state of your heart, but this is the limit of your current cellular strength in terms of its ability to bear the power of 'Immortality'."
"For subsequent experiments, the safest option is to wait until your body's strength increases before continuing."
This answer did not exceed Jiang Yan's expectations. From the fourth round onwards, the difference was not small at all. It would be a miracle if he could succeed.
Hearing the words "the safest option" from Ruan Mei made Jiang Yan feel like the recorded words could silence Black Tower and bring Screw Gumu to tears. Jiang Yan completely accepted her kindness.
But “as strength grows”?
He couldn't hold on right after entering the finals. If it were a real chicken-eating competition, wouldn't he have to practice for at least a few thousand years to prevent his heart from exploding instantly?
This made perfect sense. A heart that could rival an ancient dragon's would require a comparable developmental cycle. But Jiang Yan couldn't wait for thousands of years. So, without hesitation, he gave up this once-in-a-millennium kindness and proactively requested:
"Tell me a faster way. I'm your assistant, so it's no problem."
