Chapter 22, Earth's Technological Explosion
Long arrives at a research base two kilometers away from his residence, where the world's top scientists are gathered, most of them are male, and they are all older, and there is no such young genius scientist as in the novel.
"You carry power that you don't even know you know you know, but it needs a readerβour wisdom." The scientists confidently said that they believed that their current technology was enough to explore the secrets of the dragon.
The dragon didn't refute, he pulled one out of the scarce mana in his body, condensed it on his fingertips, and pushed it in front of the scientists with a gentle push.
"This is my mana, and when it leaves my body, it will gradually dissipate, or 'decay', you try to analyze what it is."
It was mana that was free from the body, with a mass about equal to air, like a drop of oil falling in a gravityless environment, floating lightly in mid-air.
The scientists exclaimed one after another, and then used the prepared special test tube to pack the mana, and then put it under the electron microscope to observe, and the result was nothing, and the mana that could be seen by the naked eye was actually empty under the electron microscope.
In the following month, a drop of liquid mana in a test tube traveled all over the world, entered the world's most advanced laboratories, and after all human detection methods, the composition of mana could not be analyzed.
Such a situation is reminiscent of dark energy, a type of energy that exists in abundance in the universe.
Mana is transformed from Reiki, so a new question arises - what is the relationship between Reiki and dark energy?
Can the two be converted to each other?
The questions that appeared to scientists with new topics did not make anyone give up, but only aroused their curiosity even more.
Discouraged? Abandon?
Inexistent.
These are some of the world's top scientists, with superhuman scientific literacy, and the first thing they think of when they encounter a problem is a possible solution, not give up, and that's why they are where they are today.
"Come on."
The dragon paused, and then moved on to the next lab.
Letting human scientists study his mana is also for a glimmer of hope, if the human race studies the conversion of mana, he can recover mana in this world, otherwise, the residual mana in his body will not last long after all.
After the mana leaves his body, it will "decay", in fact, it will also "decay" when it is in his body, but the time is different, for example, a drop of mana will only decay in his body for a thousand years, and it may decay in a hundred years in the outside world.
In the second lab, scientists here do not study the mana of dragons, but the scales of dragons.
In the absence of mana, the hardness, toughness, and ductility of dragon scales are all above the alloys that humans can currently make, and compared to mana, the analysis of dragon scales is relatively easy.
As a result, a project called "Artificial Dragon Scales: Dragon Superalloy" was put on the agenda.
β¦β¦
Time flies
Decade!
The dragon spent ten years on Earth.
After giving to each other, both the dragon and the earthlings were satisfied.
Ten years ago, a biologist asked a dragon, "Do you have any ideas for having offspring?" β
At that time, the dragon thought for a long time and replied, "No." β
Although it is said that "dragon nature is promiscuous", this is actually inaccurate, one-sided, and generalized, just like a person is a fool, and it cannot be said that all human beings have to be fools.
The biologist was disappointed, and after a while, asked, "Can you give me some of your hair." β
The dragon narrowed his eyes: "You want to clone me?" β
The biologist pushed his glasses and said, "I have this idea, in order to better understand your body structure, if the current technology is enough to support my idea, of course." β
Countless science fiction apocalyptic depictions flashed through the dragon's mind, and he used his dragon's whiskers to pluck some dark blue manes from his back.
"Your thoughts are very dangerous, I wish you knew what you were doing."
The dragon itself doesn't matter, even if there is a real accident, it won't affect him.
The aura of the universe is recovering at a rate of 0.02 to 0.03 units per day, and in about ten years, he will be able to regain the ability to traverse, and then the heavens and the earth will be nowhere to go, so he is not worried about human messing around at all.
The biologist happily stroked the dragon's mane, "It's just a clone, there will be no accidents." β
Huaxia's cloning technology is currently at the forefront of the world, as long as the gene can be obtained, it is theoretically possible to copy another dragon, of course, only theoretically, if you can simply get the gene from the hair and clone a dragon, then Jurassic Park has already become a reality.
After some observation, the biologists were pleasantly surprised to find: "The cell activity of dragons is very high, which is not comparable to ordinary organisms, and makes up for the shortcomings of modern cloning technology." β
Although the cells of the dragon are highly active, they cannot form a dragon alone.
Modern cloning techniques, while advanced, cannot clone protos with just a few bristles.
But after the combination of the two, a miracle was produced, realizing the cloning technology in science fiction movies.
In the third year, the world's first clone dragon was born in an experimental base in China, this achievement shocked the world, unfortunately, although the clone dragon is a little smarter than ordinary animals, but it is also the level of a gorilla, far inferior to the protobody, just a strong creature.
Why?
The genes of the clone dragon and the ontosaurus are the same, and without the divine power of the ontosaurus, it is just that, even the intelligence is only at the gorilla level.
After observing his clone, the dragon concluded: "The reason is very simple, it has no mana, and some of the genes in the gene chain are automatically turned off, if this part of the closed gene is called the 'Divine Beast Gene', then the Divine Beast gene is now just an ordinary creature, and now its body length is one meter, and its length to ten meters is its limit, and its lifespan is about three hundred years." β
During those three years, the dragon has been learning, and now he has changed from an illiterate dragon to a literate dragon.
"How to fix it?"
"It's simple, energize it."
"Is electricity okay? For example, the electric current of an electric eel. β
ββ¦β¦ You can give it a try. β
With the support of the dragon, biologists found a few electric eels and put them into the glass tank of the dragon, under the subtle influence of the bioelectricity on the electric eel, a year later, the intelligence of the clone dragon has been significantly improved, obviously the divine beast in the body is awakening, but the effect of the electric eel bioelectricity has always been limited, and after a year, the effect of bioelectricity has been minimal.
For the clones to continue to grow, it is clear that more powerful energy sources are needed than bioelectricity.
History keeps moving forward......
In the eighth year, an accident occurred in the first laboratory during an experiment, which led them to discover a new energy source that was different from any known energy source in modern times, and was completely harmless to any living organism.
Through a series of experiments, they found that this new energy accounted for a very high proportion in the universe, so they judged that this new energy was the dark energy they were looking for!
Moreover, there seems to be some kind of connection between dark energy and the mana of dragons?
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and after the discovery of dark energy, the research and development speed of dark energy applications will be faster.
On the other hand, the research of dragon superalloy in the second laboratory is also very successful.
Humans have not only created artificial dragon scales (Dragon Superalloy No. 1) with the same properties as dragon scales, but also created Dragon Superalloy No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6, which sacrifice other attributes to enhance single attributes such as hardness, toughness, ductility, high temperature resistance, and low temperature resistance......
Different types of Dragon Superalloy can be used to create shields against nuclear explosions, as shell materials for aircraft rockets, and so on.
For the first time, the defense power mastered by humans has finally caught up with the attack power (nuclear explosion)!
Unfortunately, this was short-lived.
Because in the ninth year, mankind initially mastered the technology of controlling dark energy, and a scientist calculated that if dark energy is made into a bomb, under the same mass, the power of the dark energy bomb is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of times that of ordinary bombs (ps: this is compiled by the author).
As a result, the attack power that humans theoretically possess exceeds their defensive power.
In the tenth year, thanks to the combination of dragon superalloy and dark energy technology, the controllable nuclear fusion reactor finally reached the ideal state, and the electricity generated by one fusion reactor in a month can be used by the world for a year.
The dragon felt that the Celestial Qi in his body had recovered 101 units, and muttered, "It's time for me to leave too." β
