Chapter Twenty-Five: The Return to the Island
Xu Wu sat on his knees, kneeling in the direction of the game equipment, looking at the ground, his hands in his field of vision, trembling slightly.
There was a slight chill on his face, and something slipped down his cheeks and flowed all the way to his chin, which was a little uncomfortable. Xu Wu wiped it with the back of his hand, wiping away the tears that slipped down.
Sure enough, it still failed. I still hurt a young creature.
He performed a series of commands, then stopped and adjusted, allowing time to flow. Intermittently carrying out his own plans.
Successfully degenerated the rabbit's cranial nerves into embryonic stem cells. Immediately again, it differentiates into neurons.
These have all succeeded. But he still failed.
Although the neurons formed later appear to have reconstituted the brain, they are also larger than before. But instead of getting smarter, the rabbit seemed to lose the ability to think and became an idiot. More precisely, it became a plant rabbit.
In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago, the so-called redifferentiation process is only redifferentiation at the cellular level, but at the tissue and organ level, he has not adjusted it at all. I don't know how to adjust it. So what comes out of the brain tissue is just a mess, a mess that doesn't have any connection to each other. Nerve connections to other organs were also forcibly disconnected and were not reconnected.
Not to mention thinking, he can't even control his body to make movements, and he has completely lost his feelings, which is more terrifying than a vegetative person, if it weren't for Xu Wu's lack of brainstem and cerebellum, probably this rabbit wouldn't even be able to maintain its vital signs.
The rabbit's fate soon came to an end. It wasn't it that died, it was the mother rabbit who felt that it didn't move and bit it to death.
Xu Wu just looked at it, didn't do anything, and couldn't do anything. Maybe Mother Rabbit is the direct murderer of Baby Rabbit, but in the final analysis, it was he who killed Baby Rabbit.
He knew early on that Mother Rabbit had such a habit and knew it before making this attempt. After all, he has raised rabbits.
Do you want to try again? Do you want to stain your hands with the blood of a young rabbit again?
He couldn't get his hands on it, and no matter how many tries he tried until the plan was improved, the results would not change. Could it be that he can simulate all the processes of a rabbit forming in an embryo? Is it right to give all the hormone regulation instructions? No, he can't do it. He's not Superman, and probably Superman can't.
Only God, the god of nature, can generate such instructions by chance again and again. Achieve the beauty of balanced development in living organisms.
He's just an ordinary guy.
Wait, embryos? By the way, why can't I adjust the rabbit before it is formed? I can adjust it during the division of brain cells, so that the rabbit's brain can increase in size without having to think about the process of forming later.
Yes, that's right, the process of differentiation after that is handed over to the hormone regulation of the mother, I just need to prolong the process of division a little bit, and if there is not much intervention, the situation should not collapse, and the rabbit will not have to die like this.
As soon as he thought of it, Xu Wu shouted at Phantom Moon: "Phantom Moon, help me find a pair of breeding rabbits, which are about to be fertilized." ”
Xu Wu didn't worry about finding the corresponding rabbit, after the rabbit was four months old, it was basically in the breeding period, and the tropical climate temperature was not worried about the temperature of the rabbit at all, and the rabbit in all states could be found naturally.
That's how hares flourished in Australia. If it weren't for the fact that he could invest in rabbit predators at any time to suppress the rabbit population, he would probably follow in Australia's footsteps.
But when it comes to estrus, probably Teddy is the model. Pulled away, and cast his gaze on Phantom Moon.
Phantom Moon nodded, her eyes losing their luster again, and her attention shifted to the island.
A creature's undetectable gaze kept skimming over the island, combing all the rabbits on the island like a comb.
Soon the newly pregnant rabbit was shown in a list.
The list was very long, Xu Wu casually clicked on a number, enlarged the projection of the island, and at the same time told Phantom Moon: "Phantom Moon, as soon as these embryos enter the mesoderm stage, they will teleport me to the island when they are about to form organs." ”
Xu Wu said as he locked the door of his room, took off all his clothes at the same time, and looked at the rabbit that was foraging for food naked, his eyes were full of concentration.
Phantom Moon watched Xu Wu's behavior on the side, she already knew something about this human society, and she had a strange feeling, but she couldn't express it.
"In three seconds, the mesoderm period will be passed, so please get ready. After Phantom Moon finished speaking, Xu Wu took a deep breath and went through his plan again in his mind, after making an OK gesture.
The familiar blue light enveloped Xu Wu, and silently, Xu Wu disappeared from his room.
Xu Wu touched his body up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it didn't hurt this time, he knew too well how determined he was to dare to let himself teleport to the island again.
The last experience was too painful, probably a hundred times more painful than the so-called pain of breaking melons. Although he didn't know how painful the so-called pain of breaking the melon was, the area of the injury was at least 10,000 times that of the other party. In other words, it is a hundred times more painful.
Xu Wu patted a tall sycamore on the side and sighed: "This time it's in the forest, and I don't know where it is." ”
"Phantom Moon, can you let me see the target rabbit?" Although Xu Wu knew that he could only use the time difference on the island to adjust in the short embryonic period and achieve his goal, he was still a little apprehensive about whether he could turn on the projection on the island and whether he could use the genetic adjustment function on the island.
The phantom moon appeared beside Xu Wu, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, it is possible, island master. ”
After speaking, Phantom Moon waved her hand, and a map-sized projection of the island appeared in front of Xu Wu.
This map is not much different from the three-dimensional projection that Xu Wu usually sees, except for the size. This sense of familiarity made Xu Wu quickly familiarize himself with the operation, and quickly found his position on the island and the location of his target.
He picked up some banana leaves casually, blocked his vital point, and then leaned back against the sycamore, adjusted his posture, and magnified the mother rabbit until he saw into the other party's womb, looking at the embryos that were thriving.
I have to say that the Phantom Moon Card time card is very good, and Xu Wu can already clearly see the embryonic form divided into three levels and gradually split towards the organs.
At this time, Xu Wu needs to pause the differentiation a little, prolong the division time, and increase the number of cells that differentiate into the brain part.
How do you do that? This brings us to the process of regulating embryonic development. In fact, the process of embryonic development and differentiation has always been regulated by maternal hormone levels.
This is naturally not Xu Wu's fantasy or fantasy, and it has been proven in previous studies that the mother's hormone level will affect the development process of the embryo.
For example, in the simultaneous embryo transfer of cows, if the hormone level of the cow receiving the embryo transfer (recipient cow) is not adjusted to the hormone level of the original embryonic mother, the embryo will die.
At the same time, some studies have also shown that somatomodulin C, growth hormone, and cortisol in maternal blood play an important role in influencing the growth and development of the fetus in utero by regulating metabolism.
In addition to these, Xu Wu also found hormone expression genes in the gene pool that represent the regulation of embryonic growth.
What he has to do now is to slightly reduce the concentration of hormones in the mother rabbit that control the development of the embryo to the next stage, thereby delaying the differentiation process of the embryo.
To this end, he deliberately asked Phantom Moon to help him make a real-time change chart of the hormone level changes in the mother rabbit's body, so that he could easily issue instructions when the hormone was close to the threshold.
There is a red line on the graph for each hormone, which is the instruction concentration of the embryo to move to the next stage.
The histogram is rising little by little, not fast, but unwavering. waited until he was close to the threshold in Xu Wu's heart, and Xu Wu quickly spoke: "Target, grass rabbit number 67443 adjustment." ”
Time stopped again. The scenery around Xu Wu quickly faded, and the colorful map became more and more prominent.
The rabbit on the map levitated, and under Xu Wu's operation, the image was magnified to see through the changes of these embryos. Although he knew that this was an operation where time stopped, Xu Wu's eyes were still staring, and he didn't dare to let go of any detail.
"Negative feedback regulation of growth hormone expression in the mother, expression level of ......"
After giving the order, Xu Wu closed the adjustment, looking forward to the next change.
There is no doubt that after his operation, the embryonic changes in the mother rabbit's belly did stop developing towards the next stage, and under the regulation of hormones, the cells began to divide again.
Is this a success? Xu Wu was a little excited, but more than expected.
Suddenly, Phantom Moon's voice sounded in Xu Wu's ears: "Island Master, please take a step forward." ”
Xu Wu's body subconsciously took a step forward out of trust in Phantom Yue, and his naked back only felt that something slippery passed by, cool and cool.
Xu Wu got goosebumps, and jumped forward in fright, shouting in his mouth: "What is that, Phantom Moon, what is that." ”
"Island owner, please don't panic, it's just a non-venomous python. You put it in the woods yourself, didn't you?" Phantom Moon clasped her hands around her chest and explained calmly: "Attention the island master, the python is attacking again, this time in the left rear, lying down and rolling forward. It's good to do it, but the movements are not smooth enough, and two points will be deducted. ”
"Hurry up and find a way for me, don't talk cool here. Xu Wu rolled forward, dodging another attack from the python. didn't bother to clean up the mud on his body, his eyes were fixed on the python that was slowly swimming, his limbs were slightly relaxed, ready to escape at any time.
"Naturally, there is a way, seeing that there is no stone not far from your left, pick it up while dodging, dodge sideways when the python attacks you, and take the opportunity to grab seven inches, hit its head with a stone, and naturally resolve the crisis. Phantom Moon pointed fingers at the solution to the crisis.
Xu Wu looked at the stone nearly ten meters away, and compared the distance between himself and the python, and couldn't think of how to pick up the stone without being attacked by the python. Not to mention catching the snake god who is about to have a fist.
What kind of international jokes, whether he is strong enough or not is mostly a question.
When Phantom Moon was pointing fingers, the python attacked Xu Wu again, and Xu Wu, who had been staring at it, naturally wouldn't be hit, so he dodged to the side, and continued to ask: "Phantom Moon, give me some more operable methods, I may not be able to run past what you said." ”
"There are other ways, naturally there are also, seeing that there is no sycamore behind you, climb up at high speed, and then jump towards the big tree next to you, and use your flexible movements to throw the python away. ”
Xu Wu shouted anxiously: "I can't climb trees!"
"That's not going to happen, Lord, you really should reflect on why you have so few skills. There's no way, I can't run and run, I can't fight and fight, it looks like I'm going to find a new owner. ”
Phantom Moon spread her hands and watched Xu Wu flee irresponsibly.
Xu Wu was no longer in the mood or free to fight with Phantom Moon, and the only thing he knew to do now was to keep dodging the python's attacks.
The chest rises and falls like a blower, soaking oxygen into the lungs with the smell of dead leaves in the forest. The python's wide open mouth constantly stimulated Xu Wu's body to secrete adrenaline, and his heart beat faster and faster, transporting fresh blood full of oxygen to his whole body, and his pale skin faintly revealed a little red light.
Left, left, right, right, rolling, relying on his body that has suddenly improved recently, Xu Wu dodged attack after attack, and it was also the first time that he felt the changes in his body in all aspects.
The strength is much stronger, and the speed is also faster, and in the past, he would have died in the first attack. The five senses are also much sharper, and they can clearly catch all the movements of the python.
As he became more familiar with his body, Xu Wu became more and more relaxed to avoid the python's attack, and had the ability to continue to ask Phantom Moon: "Phantom Moon, have you thought of any other way?"
Before he could reply, Xu Wu suddenly felt that his feet slipped and his body was crooked, and the whole person fell down like this.
The blood basin bit down on Xu Wu's neck!
