One hundred and fifteen, "Biochemical Weapons"
Lying on the ground in the base area, the exhausted Wen De didn't want to move again.
He gasped for breath so much that even the three-way breathing method to restore his strength was a little messy, and his left arm was a little painful and itchy, and he was glad in his heart.
Before this, Winder could not have imagined that the biggest crisis since he became a traveler was actually brought about by a beast.
Of course, it didn't seem appropriate to call the shark a beast. After all, he had never heard of that beast that could shoot cannonballs, flames, and the like.
Thinking of this, Wende couldn't help but tilt his head to the side, and saw the culprit who made him so embarrassed. The shark—so let's call it—was lying there quietly, dead, of course.
Whoever is poured into the mouth with an over-standard Diamond Star Fist, and there is no means to fight against the source force, the internal organs will be frozen into ice cubes.
And in order to achieve this goal, Wende also paid a certain price. Now, his entire left hand, including half of his forearm, was still broken between the teeth of the shark's mouth.
Thinking of this, Winder gritted his teeth and stood up again, walked over to the shark's head, picked up his left hand, and put it on the broken left arm. There is no need to connect blood vessels, nerves, etc., but just constantly urge the source force, and the limbs of the port are automatically relied on as if they have self-awareness.
Of course, pain is indispensable, and there is an unbearable itching. Winder ignores it all, and the power of habit is somewhat terrifying. When he mastered the source power for the first time and made his body rejuvenate and be "green", he still felt a little panicked, and he struggled for a while about whether he was a human or not.
But now, I'm just glad that my cure can be so reliable.
However, it would be nice to find a way to block out the pain and itching at the same time.
Winder thought this bitterly, and secretly made a decision, and looked at the shark again. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has made such a close and complete observation of sharks. It hadn't been so laid-back before, especially since the shark had shown off his ability to fire cannonballs, and Winder hadn't come close to the beast again—except for the last time he killed it.
This time, I could see something, and although the beast looked very similar to a shark, it was actually a little different. For example, its pectoral and pelvic fins are longer, larger, and thicker, and they feel very close to the limbs of land creatures, and even the front end has a movable joint and three bifurcations that can make grasping movements.
On top of that, Winder noticed that the monster actually had gills like a fish. This is somewhat rare, after all, on this side of the earth, the vast majority of land animals have evolved the lungs, which are more efficient respiratory organs.
Is this a species difference?
But those little animals didn't notice this thing before.
It is undeniable that Winder is quite curious about this shark, not for this, even if he needs to recover and must return to the base, he will not have to get the shark back.
This knows that the weight of this shark that is seven or eight meters long is not light!
Winder plans to dissect the shark to see if he can figure out the secrets of its movement in the sand and the firing of cannonballs.
But not now, the dead fish is now frozen like an ice cube, at least it has to wait until it melts.
He recuperated in the base area for two days, and in the process, his left arm was considered to have grown, and there was no injury visible on the outside, but it was actually used...... I don't know if it's Wende's psychological effect, but I always feel a little less flexible than before. But after several experiments, no anomalies were found.
There are also meridians...... They are the most sensitive tissues of the human body to the vital element, and as a result, the damage is also the most serious after disconnection, and for a while, the internal force on the left arm is not transmitted smoothly, and Wende needs to continue to repair it.
It was a water mill that couldn't be rushed, and Winder turned his attention back to the shark.
It's finally thawed, and if you don't deal with it quickly, it won't be long before it rots......
In order to dissect the work, Wende did a lot of work in advance in the past two days, but in the end he found that the preparation was still a little insufficient.
The shark was heavier than expected, conservatively estimated to be in the early five tons, and it was not easy for Winder to manipulate it flexibly.
At the same time, its skin is unusually tough, looking like leather, but it is actually made up of extremely fine scales - similar to those of a real shark - which makes it appear smooth and flexible, but also very strong.
Wende went down, but he couldn't cut it, and tried to infuse the internal force again, and the success was successful, but the knife edge made of modern steel also had a small gap.
This made Winder a little speechless, and he did an analysis of the shark skin out of curiosity, and was stunned to find that this layer of tiny scales actually contained nearly thirty percent of the iron element!
In other words, this layer of leather is no less protective than a full-body armor. Or to exaggerate, after all, the thickness of the ancient body armor could not be as perverted as close to one centimeter thick......
Just disemboweling the shark, Wende wasted a lot of effort, first alternating the knife made of meteorite with the chainsaw, and then simply using meteorite as the main material to get the chainsaw out.
As a combination of iron and source force, meteorite iron has advantages over modern steel in terms of strength and toughness, but the difference is not too big. What is really rare is that it is an excellent conductor of the source force and the subsidiary element force, and Wende can infuse the internal force into it to further strengthen the cutting ability.
In the shark's body, Winder has found organs that can be identified as five internal organs, and has also found many new things that are strange and difficult to judge.
For example, the stomach of a shark, similar to a ruminant, is divided into two parts.
The larger one accumulates a large amount of things such as sand and iron, which do not go through the stomach, and the sand and gravel are filtered by the fine grid-like tissue, precipitated into an accumulation organ, and then discharged through a "nostril" on the shark's head.
Something like an iron block is probably chewed in the mouth, and then it is squeezed and crushed through some method through stomach precipitation - Winder guesses that it is squeezed and crushed, because the analysis of this large stomach has found that its iron content is abnormally high, almost a biological grinder———— which is made into smaller pieces and sent to the next organ.
Which organ Winder guessed was used by the shark to absorb the iron, but the way was very thorough, because it was the end of the road and there was no next stop. And the liquid that remains in it is almost molten iron...... That's pretty much certain.
I just don't know how the shark does this, the abnormally high iron content of its entire body, and many organs, such as the skeleton, are almost ferroalloys, probably thanks to this.
And Winder also guessed that the shark had the means and methods to speed up the absorption of iron.
Because this guy had to go deep every once in a while when he fought the shark before, Winder didn't understand the reason at first, but now it seems that he has temporarily replenished iron - evidenced by the large amount of iron that remains in the "iron stomach".
Why sharks are able to fire cannonballs is, of course, something that makes Winder very curious, and this time the autopsy naturally focuses on the investigation.
He examined the spot where the shell had been fired from the shark's belly, and found several things that were more mechanical than biological organs - though they still had a bit of biological characteristics in their composition.
It is capable of manufacturing and storing "cannonballs", albeit completely solid. One houses ...... Gasoline...... Gunpowder is such a high-temperature flammable material, and what is even more exaggerated is its launcher, although the composition has a bit of bone, keratin and other biological tissues, but the overall structure is completely close to "artillery".
You can clearly find the place where the bullet is loaded and discharged, and the barrel is very complete and even rifled......
This made Winder silent for a long time, could it be that this thing was actually a tall "biological weapon"?
Reluctantly, he checked again, but still found no trace of the existence of electronic objects, but found a fist-sized crystal near the left side of the shark's brain.
In a sense, it's a lot like the concept of magic crystals in novels.
But that's not the point.
The real point is that Wender analyzed this thing and found a considerable degree of source power!
It is very similar to the meteorite iron of the ancient martial world, and it is a recreation of the source force!
