As soon as the tip of the scalpel pierced in, Gu Jun suddenly felt a sense of stagnation on his hand, reaching the "mermaid superficial fascia" layer under the skin.

This layer of tissue is similar to the superficial fascia of humans, hence the name, but has more superficial blood vessels and nerves than human life, and is denser in fat.

Whether it's scales or a kind of keratinized skin, it forms a finger-sized scale that can be separated piece by piece.

Gu Jun held the scalpel steadily, understanding the reminder of Xiao Huiwen and the others next to him, and it was indeed necessary to pay attention to the control of strength.

The muscles of his upper limbs are like parts of a precision machine, and he uses a steady force to cut the scale around the line, but the scale does not fall off, he still needs to use the tip of the knife against the bottom of the scale to cut horizontally, and then use dissecting forceps to hold it up, to complete the peeling of this scale.

At this time, he looked at the system task in his mind, [current dissection completion: 0.01%] This kind of outlier is indeed a deep diver.

According to past experience, it is not calculated that an average of 0.01% of a scale is dissected, but it is the first time that this tissue is dissected, and there are so many.

"Ahh Xiao Huiwen breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't see Gu Jun stabbing half of it. He Tao and the others next to him once again witnessed Gu Jun's extraordinary hand work, according to the work record, he has not done an autopsy for a long time, and now he is still so impeccable.

The peeling of the scales was amazingly complete, and it seemed that no other tissue underneath the scales had been damaged.

This also makes the superficial fascia exposed underneath retain its smoothness, if it were not for the smell of formalin, it would really look like a pastry.

Cai Zixuan was really a little emotional, and said softly: "This is 'skin like coagulation'." ”

"Young man." Uncle Dan looked at Zixuan, "Your taste is even more unique than Uncle Dan and me." ”

At the same time, Gu Jun held this scale in his hand and looked at it carefully, each of these scales had some capillary-like dark red threads, but they were larger than the capillaries, visible to the naked eye, attached to the edges and bottom of the scales, connected to the surrounding scales, and had been named "scale veins".

I don't know why, but it made him feel a little dazed, as if he saw this deep diver diving all the way down to the abyss at the bottom of the sea, diving......

If Gu Jun named it, he might call it "scaly tendons".

Although the fact that "tendon" is a TCM concept and not a stand-alone term for modern anatomy. "Tendon" is a general term that includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, articular cartilage and so on in modern medicine. But it is precisely because of this that he feels that the "scaly vein" is more indicative of the wide range of functions of this kind of thing.

What are the scales used for? Connecting scales, shrinkage and movement, and beyond that......

"I feel this scale." Gu Jun thought about it, and said that he was unconsciously naming it, "It may be one of the keys to this kind of alien being able to dive deeply." ”

"How?" Xiao Huiwen asked suspiciously. The camera on the shadowless lamp was also shooting, and there was a team watching from the headquarters, and they were also curious when they heard it.

"This kind of alien can't dive that deep just by virtue of its physiological structure." Gu Jun said that this point has been studied and discussed by everyone, "But everyone also knows that the physiological structure of these aliens can often produce abnormal powers, just like the erosion patterns of ghoul bones." ”

Ghouls' skeletal erosion patterns are not found in deep divers, as deep-sea creatures have a low bone density and are good swimmers.

"Scaly veins can generate anomalous powers?" Xiao Huiwen emphasized that it is the scaly vein, not the scaly tendon, and the tendon is not an anatomical term.

"I think they make up the network." Gu Jun said in a deep voice, looking at the corpse of the deep diver on the dissecting table, "These scales ...... The network of scales and veins covers the whole body of this creature, and I'm just imagining, is there a structure that plays a role in causing the deep diver to be subjected to different pressures in the seawater? ”

He now knew, and the spellcaster basically knew, that a specific pattern or line could be a technical product that could produce a steady force.

For example, the technology in the old printing technology is not understood by human science at present, but it is effective.

Everyone looked at each other, and the biggest problem with this idea proposed by Gu Jun was that they couldn't find a way to prove right or wrong.

"Or we can try to record the scaly tendon network of this corpse." Gu Jun had an idea, and handed the scales in his hand to Cai Zixuan, "Zixuan, take a good photo of each of these scales, do a good job of numbering, take a good picture of their scales, and record which one is connected in which direction." After that, when we cut out all the scales on its body, we put them together again to see if we can restore the scale network, and how much we can restore. ”

The body was not unharmed, there was a gunshot wound to the chest and heart, where the scales were rotten a lot.

"Roger." Cai Zixuan nodded, this requires more manpower, so Uncle Dan went to call the handyman to make arrangements.

No one will say that Gu Jun's efforts are in vain, and scientific research needs to be tried. In the past, the autopsy regarded the scale tendon as a single tissue, also because the corpses were almost all tattered, and the scales cut by the complete corpses were not as clear as the current one.

However, Xiao Huiwen's old face wrinkled and muttered, "Scaly vein, it's scaly vein......"

After saying this, Gu Jun continued to cut off the next scale, which was like the shape of the original red skin on Xie Yiman's face. He cut very carefully, trying to minimize the damage to the scales. And as he peeled off the scales, the familiarity he had before became stronger.

There are also some inexplicable illusions, which are also gradually breeding in my heart.

"I seem to be ......" Gu Jun's thought flashed, "I seem to know the deceased of this corpse......"

The smell of formalin pierced his eyes a little, he frowned, and peeled off another scale, the illusion in front of him was a little stronger, and his head was slightly swollen. It was as if he was unmasking a person, like a reverse reduction, and the closer he got to completing that shape, the more it was like seeing a human face.

"Did you see that?" Gu Jun asked others, "A human face?" ”

"Nope." Cai Zixuan was puzzled, Uncle Dan, Xiao Huiwen and the others all shook their heads, but they didn't notice it.

But Gu Jun could clearly see that the deformed face of the sea monster was a looming human face, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face......

Is it my own connection? He intently searched, digging through his mind for traces of the face, as if some memory fragment was churning.

Rustling, as if hearing the sound of the sea.
