Chapter 50: Slipping Away
In the container where Mei Jun was originally located, there was a corpse that looked like a slime fungus, no different from when it was put in before.
The woman looked at the observation video in the computer, watched it again, watched it again, and there was no doubt.
Immediately, she used the video to compare it with this container again, and it was exactly the same, with no change and no suspicion.
But she didn't think too much about it, anyway, as long as this magical mutant slime was here, maybe there was something wrong with the weak artificial intelligence system.
It's just that the culture liquid in this container is also green, and as long as Mei Jun's green body becomes smaller in size, there is absolutely no suspicion with the human eye.
Even if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find any suspicions at all.
The small hole where the nutrient solution went was a small baffle, which was a valve that used to shut down the pipes, but now a small mass of cells clinged to the wall, feeding on the flowing nutrient solution.
When the woman opened the door and came in, Mei Jun happened to detach the new body from the original body, and then he used the only remaining material energy to convert it into the power to escape, and successfully came to the hole.
He had wanted to leave along the inner wall of the pipe, but the small baffle had dampened him.
The green nutrient solution is slowly transported from the pipe to the narrow hole along with oxygen from the outside world, and then into the container.
energy, he needs energy to return to the original level.
Because his current size is only 1 millimeter in size, he can no longer hold much material energy.
So he had to stay on this small baffle for the time being, secretly absorbing these flowing nutrient solutions, but the movement must not be too big.
"But how do you get out of here now?" Mei Jun suddenly remembered that this was in a machine.
"Is it along this pipeline that transports the nutrient solution?"
He calmed down for a moment.
"That's all it can be..."
The reason why he chose this strategy is also very helpless, but it is obvious that now there is only this exit that I don't know where to choose.
But if the end of this exit is still in this laboratory, wouldn't it be back to square one.
He had made the worst intentions, but he had to try, and if he didn't move forward, he would never know where his end would be.
After a long time, his body was devouring these nutrient solutions, and some small granulations and mycelium gradually grew out of his body, reaching into the flowing liquid, helping his body to prey on it, and also slightly speeding up the eating speed.
Mei Jun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and turned her body, which had been restored to 1 centimeter, into her favorite human form.
"The future is unknown, so Lao Tzu chooses to be a person!"
He stretched his waist and shook his hand, and suddenly remembered the moment when he had just changed back into human form after being reborn, he was so excited that he shook off his hand, and then even broke his head, and couldn't help but laugh.
"After all, the most terrible thing is the stagnation with no end in sight!"
"Little brothers, wait for Lao Tzu!"
His soul poked out again, straight through the pipe, looked around the laboratory, and hurriedly glanced at the three insects and bacteria that had been soaked in the green nutrient solution.
To be honest, he is indeed very grateful to these little guys, if it weren't for them, he would definitely be lonely and crazy...
Immediately, it will transform into a streamlined fusiform, which in this way reduces the resistance to the flow of the nutrient solution, and can also reduce the loss of energy to a certain extent.
After all, energy is fundamental.
In the nutrient solution of the stream, he is a retrograde who acts in a hurry.
Time will not wait for him, and his body, which is no longer useless, is estimated to be recognized in front of that smart woman in front of him.
But before he comes back here, he needs to get stronger, and that woman's skills are terrifying, where is this an ordinary person, obviously a tiger!
Dismantle the plane with your bare hands, tsk!
Under Mei Jun's climbing retrograde, he came from the narrow pipe to a small open pool.
Now, he eats as he walks, and he has regained his size to two centimeters.
The soul that had been leaning out looked at the small pool where three pipes converged, and it was not difficult to guess: "This should be the place where the three pipes in this machine diverge." ”
Even where there is no light, he can always see very clearly under his soul, as if there are two completely different worlds.
The hidden baffle under the small pond raised the water level back and forth, and the nutrient solution was poured into three pipes on average, and then the empty small pond was filled with the nutrient solution that poured in later.
"Found it!" Mei Jun jumped into the small pool, and some viscous liquid couldn't make a beautiful splash.
He had observed this thing in order to find the direction of the exit of the small pool.
In a puddle of green liquid, with the help of the clear vision seen by the soul, it immediately rushed directly towards the small rectangular output port as the baffle fell.
Liquid, more liquid overflowed the entire circular pipe.
Deep green, green to the extreme.
In the same way, he eats and swims at the same time, like a tadpole that goes with the flow.
Along the way, he mimicked a hearing organ, listened to the regular meshing of gears around him, and understood that this was still in the machine.
......
In the laboratory, the woman regarded Mei Jun's ineffective corpse as a priceless treasure.
She carefully removed the corpse from the culture tank, took it to a sterile workshop, washed the green nutrient solution off the corpse with sterile distilled water, and then subjected to a series of rapid pretreatments.
After the pre-treatment, she pulled out a sharp scalpel from her tool bag, and the incandescent light circulated silver to the extreme, dividing the body into pieces.
Put one of the pieces into a diamond ultramicrotome, cut out a few thin small pieces of sample, then drop a few drops of 0.9% concentration of normal saline on the glass slide (mainly used to maintain the environment in which the cells live), take out a forceps that have been sterilized by ultraviolet light for 24 hours, and then gently place a small piece on the glass slide with forceps.
She then uses tweezers to pick up the coverslip so that the other side of it is in contact with the saline on the slide to prevent bubbles from appearing, then drops a few drops of reagent staining, and finally uses an absorbent sheet of paper to absorb the excess water.
And so on, and do fifty more samples.
She then placed the samples next to the transmission electron microscope and prepared them to observe and analyze the biological cell structure of the "slime mold".
Because this microscope can emit an electron beam through the sample, and then use an electron lens to image and magnify, a projection of the sample can be obtained.
She picks up a sample, places it on a sample holder, and gradually magnified it to find an intact cell.
But when I looked at the enlarged image, my expression changed.
After that, I looked at it again, and hurriedly compared it with other samples...
