Chapter Ninety-Five: Harvest and Thoughts
With Curt Connors's complete experimental data, it is actually quite simple for Li Si to destroy this self-healing ability, after all, this tail is no different from a living body, and if he injects a tube of other modified serums, he can easily collapse his genes.
But he hasn't studied this section yet, so it's a pity to give it up like this.
The genes of the broken tail are not the same as when Curt Connors transformed into Dr. Lizard, and the game system seems to have adjusted its genes to a certain extent, otherwise the tail that is separated from Dr. Lizard's body would have disintegrated and dissolved due to the expiration of the lizard serum.
The cells modified by injection of lizard serum are actually divided into two types, one is the original research direction of Curt Connors, the lizard gene and the gene in the original stem cells are unstable, so that these stem cells can obtain the ability of lizard genes to accelerate division and differentiation.
These normal modified cells are mainly human genes, and after a certain period of time, some of the lizard genes will fall off, and the original stem cells and the cells that divide and differentiate will return to their original state, and even some irreversible cells will be excreted with metabolism.
On the other hand, even if the cells are alienated and multiplied, because the decay formula is not replaced by human genes but by the genes of mice, there is a big error in this calculation.
Although some accidental necessity not only did not cause the gene to collapse but achieved the desired effect, some of the stem cells were inevitably alienated.
The alienated stem cells are often very few, or even only dozens or hundreds, but these alienated stem cells are mainly based on lizard genes, which can multiply and differentiate at a more terrifying rate, and eventually cause changes in body structure to become lizardmen.
However, the genes of this kind of alienated stem cells and the genetically derived alienated cells themselves are not perfectly chimeric like Spider-Man, although they are more stable than normal lizard serum modified cells, they are still only a temporary connection in nature.
With the continuous multiplication and metabolism of the cells themselves, the lizard genes of these alienated cells conflict with human genes and reject each other, and the gene chain will become more and more unstable.
And because they are the result of miscalculated differentiation, these alienated cells do not merely shed the articulation as normal engineered cells do.
Due to the tighter connection of alienated cells, when they reject and fall off, they will form a domino-like effect, the entire gene chain will collapse, and the cell itself will also dissolve into a pool of carbohydrate-based nutrients due to gene collapse.
This severed tail is the same as the severed arm that Curt Connors grows, they are all formed by dividing and differentiating from alienated stem cells, and they can be kept for a day under normal conditions, and they simply won't last that long if the game system hasn't adjusted them.
"Let's study this broken tail first, the technology in the grip can't run anyway."
After thinking about it, Li Si still didn't give up this rare material from the game system after all.
And he wasn't sure if there was any connection between the tail clipping and the life-sustaining technique used by the tail whip, and he would be dumbfounded if there was a problem with the life-sustaining technique after destroying the tail breaker, which was the one he valued the most.

"It's good that I didn't directly destroy the tail whip, otherwise the life-sustaining technology would have really been missed."
More than a week later, Lees was glad he had made the wise decision.
He had completely tested the genes for the severed tail, and as he expected, the system had adjusted the genes inside it, and the adjusted genes were natural, and there was no difference between them and natural creatures.
Well, this is actually nothing to be thankful for, it is just that he has more genetic material for the lizardman, and the systematic transformation methods have not left any clues, and it is impossible to deduce something.
What really made him happy was an unexpected discovery when he tested the cells.
During the test, he took some blood in addition to normal body cells, and originally planned to see if there was any difference in blood cells.
As a result, he discovered that the seemingly normal red blood inside the tail was not a blood cell at all, but a special microorganism.
This microorganism should be a kind of artificial blood-like existence, completely replacing the basic functions of blood, and more domineering and powerful.
It does not cause any rejection, transports oxygen and nutrients almost 10 times more efficiently than blood, and has a certain biological instinct and mobility, and does not need the pressure provided by the heart to circulate spontaneously in the blood vessels.
More importantly, these microorganisms not only transport nutrients, but also independently distinguish and collect dead cells and metabolic by-products and send them to the inside of the metal grip, which in turn can reconvert the dead cells and metabolites into nutrients.
This almost directly turns the lizard's tail into a closed internal circulation, and the internal nutrient supply is circulated, although it cannot avoid the heat energy overflow during the exercise and the necessary loss of the conversion process, but it is also the maximum efficiency of the use of internal nutrients.
"If all the blood of the organism is replaced with this microorganism, it will be able to survive for a long time without taking in nutrients, and even the ...... of the heart, an important internal organ, can be eliminated."
After discovering the working mechanism of this life-sustaining technique, Liss paid more attention to it again.
This technology alone can support a well-worked human modification program.
The absence of the heart to work is equivalent to the elimination of an Achilles' heel, the existence of nutrient internal circulation maximizes the ability to survive in harsh conditions, and the more efficient ability to transport nutrients and oxygen can also strengthen the body's functions to a certain extent.
Taken together, this is an easy-to-use means of reinforcement, and even for formed armies, these enhancements are more important than battle suits.
And Li Si has an even more crazy idea, this technology can be used to make bio-breeding suits.
Since the role of the heart has been replaced, can the rest of the organs be replaced? You must know that there are many organs in the body of living organisms that are not so necessary, and there are many alternative means, which are completely useless for the biological reproduction equipment that is purely used as a weapon.
Removing internal organs, adjusting the shape, and adding nerve connections can completely create an alternative warframe made of pure flesh and blood.
"If it's an ordinary biological gene to form a battle armor, it doesn't seem necessary, it's better to use bionic muscle fibers directly......"
The lights in the lab faded out, leaving only a muttering of Lis.
