Chapter 60: Bone Strengthening

Meng Lang, who returned home, went into the basement, but he was not in a hurry to strengthen his bones, although he was also itching, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly entered the inner vision.

First of all, he made a round around his body, which was already a habit he had developed.

Like the arm, there is already a slight crack on the right calf bone, which was left when he kicked the security door in Jingcheng, when he felt some faint pain coming, but he didn't expect that it was just a kick, and the bone began to be unbearable.

After sighing, Meng Lang moved his gaze to his right arm again, and at the same time transferred all the transformed cells in his body here!

Like other organs in the human body, bones in the human body are made up of cells, and the names of these cells are also easy to understand, they are called bone cells.

Of course, there are several kinds of bone cells, but Meng Lang doesn't pay so much attention to them, so they are uniformly called bone cells.

Compared with other cells in the body, bone cells are relatively long-lived, and their average lifespan is about 20 years!

In addition to their long lifespan, the biggest difference between osteocytes and other cells is that the cell matrix has a large amount of calcium deposits, so it can become a very hard tissue and form the skeletal system of the body.

In addition, bones are closely related to metabolism in the human body, and bones contain a large amount of calcium, phosphorus and other organic and inorganic substances, and are participants and regulators of inorganic salt metabolism in the human body.

In addition, it also participates in the regulation of human endocrine and affects the secretion and metabolism of hormones in the body. The hollow bone cavity contains a large number of hematopoietic stem cells, which are involved in the formation of blood and are one of the "factories" in the human body to make blood!

Human beings have different main hematopoietic organs at different growth periods! During the fetal period, the liver and spleen are responsible for making blood for the body.

Although they produce a relatively small amount of blood, they are able to meet the needs of the fetus. With the birth of the fetus, the hematopoietic function of the liver and spleen is temporarily stopped.

However, if the body loses a lot of blood or the body urgently needs blood due to a certain disease, the liver and spleen can also restore the hematopoietic function and produce a part of the blood for the body to meet the needs of the body.

After birth, blood is mainly made in the bone marrow. Within 5 years after birth, the bone marrow in the bones is all red bone marrow that can make blood, which can produce a large amount of blood for the human body to meet the needs of children's rapid growth and development.

After recalling the relevant knowledge about bones in his mind, Meng Lang withdrew from his inner vision and came to the experimental bench with electronic scales, which is a high-precision micro-balance electronic scale, with a minimum weighing accuracy of 0.0001 grams!

This kind of electronic scale is generally used for the measurement of high-precision laboratories, hospitals, precious metals, military industry, precious medicinal materials and other industries. These are essential pieces of equipment that were purchased with the electron microscope.

Take out the pouch containing graphene, and then use an electronic scale to weigh 1 gram of graphene powder.

This amount is the result of Meng Lang's repeated thinking, one is that he now does not know whether the modified cells in his body are capable of this difficult task.

Although I have the experience of replacing and updating muscle cells last time, this bone strengthening is completely different from the way muscle is strengthened, and there is no connection with it.

The second is that graphene has a large surface area ratio, only 1 gram of graphene evenly spread out after the area can reach 2630 square meters, think about how amazing this data is, graphene is precisely because of this characteristic has a variety of amazing functions!

Something known as the king of materials is not in vain, so the amount of 1 gram can be said to be completely enough for the experiment!

After taking out another bottle of glucose and taking out a disposable syringe to dilute graphene, Meng Lang hesitated for a while, but gritted his teeth and slowly injected the glucose liquid mixed with graphite into his right arm.

In the state of internal vision, Meng Lang commanded more than 500 million transformed cells in his arm to surround the injected graphene, and the four tentacles of each cell stretched out, each grabbing a few carbon atoms and quickly coming to the hand bone of the thumb.

Under his command, these carbon atoms are formed into honeycomb equilateral hexagons, each of which is connected to each other to form a two-dimensional crystal plane layer with the thickness of only one atom, and then it is evenly covered on the bone.

The transformation of cells is also very powerful, and the cells go back and forth, busy but not chaotic, meticulously carrying out Meng Lang's orders.

Since he successfully evolved the modified cells, he has gradually gained a deeper understanding of these little guys.

It may not be the reason for the native cells in the human body, these little creatures that have evolved through radiation usually just wander around the body, seemingly idle, but once they receive his orders, they will continue to follow them until they receive new instructions.

They were like machines, they didn't have an IQ, but they saved him a lot of trouble!

There are a total of 206 bones in the human body, which are divided into three parts: the skull, the trunk bone, and the limb bone, and there are a total of 32 large and small bones in the right arm alone.

It is said that there are 206 bones, but in fact this is only relative to the "total" of the global human race, and there are slight differences between different races in this regard.

A sample survey conducted by Chinese scientists in the 80s showed that the Chinese had fewer bones than Europeans and Americans, and most people had only 204 bones.

In Europe and the United States, the vast majority of people have 206 bones, which is due to the fact that most Chinese people have 1 less bone per toe, so there are only 204 bones.

No matter how many bones there are, Meng Lang's plan is to attach all these bones to a millimeter-thick graphene crystal plane layer!

Don't underestimate the thickness of this millimeter, because there are as many as 3 million layers of graphene crystal plane layers within this millimeter, which I believe is enough to support the current explosive muscle power in the body!

Soon, the bone was covered with a layer of graphene, and he directed the modified cells to continue to carry carbon atoms for a second layer of covering......

As night fell, in order to speed up the progress of bone strengthening, Meng Lang let these modified cells divide again, and when the sun appeared on the horizon again, he already had 1 billion cells.

During this period of time, Meng Lang did not use cosmic rays to divide cells at night, and sometimes even deliberately controlled the modified cells not to divide.

The main concern is that the sudden increase in cells will upset the balance of various systems in the human body and bring additional burden to one's own nutrient supply.

Although he didn't know if the increase in cells would have any effect on his body, as long as he didn't find an extra source of energy other than eating for a day, he couldn't do anything wanton!

With this additional 500 million modified cells, the speed of paving the graphene layer is more than doubled!

After gradually becoming proficient, Meng Lang also increased the amount of graphene injected each time, and now he has been able to inject 3 grams of graphene at a time.

The diluting glucose also provides an additional source of energy to the modified cells, and the glucose enters the body and is quickly absorbed and utilized by these little guys.

1 Mole of glucose can release 2870 kilojoules of energy after complete oxidation reaction by the human body, so sports enthusiasts and ordinary people often use it as a powerful and rapid energy supplement.

And these little guys are full of food, and they are naturally full of energy!

In this way, in addition to the necessary rest and sleep time, he constantly directed the operation of the transformed cells day and night, and finally used up all the more than 100 grams of graphene after more than a month.

All the bones in the arms of both hands are also evenly covered with up to 1 million layers of graphene crystals!
