"Investigation Report on the Human Effects of Sakura Element (Part)"
Everything in the universe is made of matter, and the matrix unit of matter is composed of more than 100 kinds of chemical elements written on the periodic table, and the same is true of the human body, and there are more than 60 kinds of things that have been discovered.

Of the elements that make up the human body, the highest content is oxygen, which is 65%. However, since organic matter is the main component of the human body, the highest amount of oxygen due to the high content of water is not the main object of study. Carbon is in second place in the list of elements of the human body with a content of 18%. Since carbon is the main building block of organic matter, people often spend a lot of effort to analyze and discuss its existence.
Among the elements of the human body, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen account for about 96%, which has an absolute majority in the ingredient list. In the human body, the elements exist in two main forms: water and carbon-containing organic matter.
There are more than 60 known elements in the human body. It is now believed that there are 19 essential elements for sustaining life: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur, magnesium, iron, silicon, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, iodine, and molybdenum. There are questions about the need for fluorine. In addition, the necessity of elements such as boron, aluminum, gold, silver, mercury and so on is questionable. There are many people who believe that these elements enter the human body by accident and are not necessary for the human body.
The constituent elements of the human body, from the periodic table, are widely distributed in groups I to 8. Most of the elements belong to the 1st to 4th periods, and the atomic number is relatively small, so most of them are relatively light elements.
In addition to carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen, for other elemental components, calcium and phosphorus are abundant in bone, potassium is more in intracellular fluid, and sodium is more in extracellular fluid, that is, blood and interstitial fluid. Sulfur is a protein component, chlorine and magnesium are salts present in body fluids, iron is a component of heme, copper is a component of enzymes, manganese is a component of coenzymes, iodine is contained in thyroxine, and cobalt is contained in vitamin B12.
However, all this is the situation on Earth in Li You's previous life.
However, in the world of Code-Geass (hereinafter referred to as the CG world), there is an additional chemical element: the cherry element.
The so-called: the slightest mistake is a thousand miles. This phrase is interpreted in modern science and corresponds to a mathematical term: the butterfly effect.
Small differences at the input can quickly amplify to the output, which means that in a power system, a small change in the initial conditions can lead to a huge long-term ripple effect of the whole system.
The human body, on the other hand, can also be seen as a dynamic system.
So, under the premise of adding the cherry element, how will the humans, animals and plants, microorganisms, and even the entire biosphere in the CG world world change?
Proteins, inorganic salts (minerals), enzymes, hormones, ...... Cell fluid, organelles, cell structure, cell type...... Structure, tissue, organ...... Locomotor system, digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, reproductive system, endocrine system, immune system, nervous system and circulatory system......
The entire human body system, starting from the most basic building blocks, layer by layer, and ending with the embodiment of macroscopic functions and traits, is very different from the modern Homo sapiens of the earth in the previous life.
Sakura element, element symbol: p (the element symbol for the phosphorus element of the whole world is PH), atomic number 5, arranged after beryllium (be), before boron (b), relative atomic mass of 10, separate into a group......
To be honest, when I first saw the periodic table of chemical elements in this world, Li Youquite had a feeling of "you are trolling me" and "are you crazy or am I crazy", but the problem is: the cherry element really exists, it is there!
However, when he saw that the modern version of the periodic table of chemical elements took out the cherry element separately and put it aside, and looked at the chemical history of this world, Li You was quite pleased: the people of this world also realized that the cherry element was wrong......
The content of cherry blossom in the human body is about 1.1%, and it is concentrated in neurons, muscle cells and bones.
In Li You's previous life, there were many tests on the physiological differences between the world's races, and here only the data on the brain is taken and simplified to blacks, whites, and East Asian yellows.
Brain volume: Black (1267), White (1347), Yellow (1364);
Number of neurons in the cerebral cortex (million units): black (13185), white (13665), yellow (13767);
Average IQ test: black (85), white (100), yellow (106);
But in the CG world, the data has changed a bit.
Brain volume: black (1327), white (1357), yellow (1368);
Number of neurons in the cerebral cortex (million units): black (13652), white (13765), yellow (13874);
Average IQ test: black (96), white (118), yellow (124);
According to research, it is the cherry blossom element that is responsible for all this.
Sakura, which is a superconductor at room temperature, has replaced the role of sodium and potassium in the nervous system of earthlings in the previous life after participating in the nervous system, resulting in a breakthrough in the conduction speed of nerve electrical signals.
According to the physiological data of human beings on Earth in the previous life, the conduction velocity of Class A nerves (myelinated somatic nerve fibers) is 5 to 120 meters per second; Class B nerves (myelinated autonomic nerve fibers) conduction velocity 3 to 15 m/s; Class C nerves (unmyelinated nerve fibers) conduction velocity 0.6 to 2 meters per second.
In the CG world, the electrical signaling velocity of class A nerve fibers in humans is 25 to 470 meters per second; Class B nerve fibers have electrical signaling velocities ranging from 16 to 52 meters per second; Class C nerve fibers have electrical signaling velocities ranging from 9 to 30 meters per second.
This means faster nerve impulses, faster signal transmission, faster brain calculations, and faster reaction speeds—the human body's extreme neural reaction speed in the previous life on Earth should not exceed 0.1 seconds.
But the neural reaction speed of humans in the CG world has surpassed the shackles of 0.1 seconds, reaching a smaller value and faster reaction speed, even if it is a knife and a bullet, although it is a difficult thing in this world, but in terms of difficulty, it is equivalent to the existence of a scholar, and there are many people who can do it, and people will praise it, but it will not be frightening (almost to the extent that ordinary people see a muscular hunk).
After talking about the nervous system, let's talk about the motor system.
The locomotor system is composed of three organs: bones, bony junctions, and skeletal muscles.
The first is muscles.
In the previous life, the fuel of muscle cells was: adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphocreatine (PC), muscle glycogen and fat, among which ATP was the main one; The engine of the cell is the mitochondria; The fuel ATP, the engine mitochondria, and the oxygen from the upper breath are combined to release a chemical energy, just like a combustion.
In the CG world, because of the extra cherry element, there are also several more proteins, and even the organelles are different!
Human beings in this world - including other animals - do not have mitochondria in the concept of the previous life inside their cells, but there is a version of the "mitochondria" fueled by carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which can be called a biological magnetofluid thruster, which drives the superconducting electromagnetic coil with a microtubule structure constructed of cherry elements inside the cherry mitochondria through redox reactions - yes, you read that right, the superconducting electromagnetic coil - converts chemical energy into heat and electrical energy, and then converts electrical energy into fluid kinetic energy.
――Back then, Li You, who was reading the biology textbook of the Chinese Federation of China junior high school for the first time, was silent.
In the process of natural evolution and selection, living things follow the principle of use and use, and in Li You's view, this is another form of Occam's razor theory: if it is not necessary, do not add substances.
There is a limit to the strength that human beings need, so there is a limit to the strength of human beings.
For humans, strength is not always better, as long as it can support one's own body weight, plus some additional weight-bearing redundancy - such as the amount of exercise required for survival life activities - is sufficient. There is a saying that the system of modern people is inferior to that of ancient people, and it is not for nothing.
If the strength required by humans is standard A, and the amount of muscle tissue required by earth humans in the previous life was 10 to achieve standard A, then in the CG world with more efficient organelles, the amount of muscle tissue they need is much smaller than that of earth humans in previous lives.
This is the reason why humans in the CG world are generally slender and have slender limbs.
And the same because of the cherry element, the material science of human civilization in the CG world is far higher than that of the earth in the previous life, because there is one more element, which is most obvious in metallurgy, and various super alloys emerge in an endless stream, with light weight, high strength, and high temperature resistance...... and other attributes are enough to make the human beings on the earth in the previous life blush.
And this is also revealed in the skeletal composition of humans in the CG world.
In the previous life, the skeleton of the human beings on the earth was a calcium-magnesium-potassium alloy with a three-dimensional honeycomb structure, while the bones of humans in the CG world were a calcium-cherry-magnesium-potassium alloy with a three-dimensional honeycomb structure. It has achieved significant improvements in compressive resistance, hardness and strength.
