Chapter 30: The Life and Death of Activity

There are no lab coats, no record boards, no laboratories with bottles and cans, and no patient and meticulous researchers. There was only a glass bottle placed on the box, and Shen Cong, who was sitting on the material bag, holding a shoe box, and taking out a fried ant leg from time to time to nibble and play.

The aisle of the carriage of the King Kong is very narrow, the experimental equipment is limited, and Shen Cong's professionalism is almost zero, so the toxicity test of the poisonous peach is very shabby and simple.

Quack, quack, quack.

The fried grasshopper legs are a little hard after a long time, more chewy, although the activity is not much, and it is not eaten as a meal, it is very good to occasionally grow a little bit.

In fact, short and fierce worker ants and soldier ants, although there is an active core, but the active radiation is not strong, it can be said to be very weak, not to mention compared with the same insect mutation of the burrowing insects, that is, compared with waste firewood plastic rabbits, the same is much weaker.

This deepened Shen Cong's inference that the mutant ant ant was a second-generation mutant creature produced after the short fierce ant.

The green-headed fly, which was put in a glass bottle, bumped into it for half a minute, and soon, it was attracted by the poisonous peach pulp that exuded strong activity, lay on it, and began to eat the poisonous peach pulp.

Only a few bites, about 7 seconds.

Immediately, under Shen Cong's gaze, he flapped his wings and wanted to fly, but before he could fly, he fell headlong on the flesh of the poisonous peach, and his six legs twitched for a while.

The movement lasted for about twenty seconds, and the green-headed fly was completely lifeless.

He's dead.

Looking at the glass bottle that was silent, Shen Cong seemed very calm, and he expected this result. The only thing that was a bit unexpected was that in 7 seconds, the green-headed fly was poisonous.

After thinking about it, it only takes 7 to 11 seconds for ordinary flies to eat, absorb nutrients and discharge waste from the body, and the habit is to eat, vomit, and pull at the same time, Shen Cong is also relieved.

7 seconds is enough for this green-headed fly to digest the flesh of the poisonous peach, and the poisoning will indeed be poisoned.

Shen Cong picked up the computer and tapped on the research data: "The first toxicity test report of the poisonous peach: the green-headed fly was poisoned after eating for 7 seconds, and died after 23 seconds. ”

Of the original five green-headed flies, two died naturally, one died in the experiment, and there were two left, eating the active meat beautifully in the gauze.

Casually putting the glass bottle aside, Shen Cong ignored it, his attention shifted to the branches of the mutated peach tree.

The mutated peach tree is a mutated plant, and in two and a half months, Shen Cong only saw such a plant, and he was extremely curious about the changes in the plant after the mutation.

"The bark shows signs of a metallic gradient...... The interior is still wooden...... There is also a hint of metallic gradient in the veins of the leaves...... Try it to see how the injected activity reacts. ”

Thinking about it, Shen Cong adjusted the activity within the collective and injected it into the branches.

Can be injected.

But it's hard, it's astringent, it takes more energy, and there's not much to be injected. At the same time, Shen Cong also observed that the bark of the branches that received a small amount of active injection did not increase much hardness, and could only be slightly felt that there was a change, and the originally hard bark was slightly softer, but more resilient.

"It seems that there are some attributes of active cores, but they are not exactly active cores, which is very different from the mutation of mutant animals."

In addition to morphologically being endowed with more mutant signs by the activity, the biggest change is the active core, which gradually changes from bone to metal.

However, except for the active core, the rest of the body is still composed of flesh and bone, and no signs of metal gradation have been found.

In the branches of this mutant peach tree, the bark of the tree actually shows signs of metal gradation, and not in one or two parts, but in the entire bark part, there are signs of metal gradation.

Shen Cong couldn't understand this variation, and of course, he couldn't understand the variation of animals, let alone explain what the activity was.

This did not prevent him from making a decision: "I will go out later, dig out the mutated peach tree, and look for it piece by piece, and see if I can find the active core." ”

Putting down the branches that could not be studied, Shen Cong picked up the filamentous roots.

This filamentous root is the channel for the mutant peach tree to absorb the nutrients of the rotting corpse, and after some research, Shen Cong also got the same result as the branches, the outer skin of the root has signs of metallic gradient, but the inside is woody. He also tried to inject vitality to see if the roots of the tree were still capable of absorbing nutrients.

The result was disappointing, and after leaving the main pole, the branches and roots died, a kind of "death" judged by the activity.

"The poisonous peach tree, a mutated peach tree, has signs of metallic gradient on its bark, is hard and tough, bears fruit active poisonous peaches, is rich in activity, but highly toxic, and its roots can stretch out filamentous roots to absorb the nutrients of rotting corpses."

After recording the research results and illustrated information, it was time for dinner.

Shen Cong continues to focus on frying and grilling, fried ant legs, ant queen meat, Thai Ritian's hind legs, and tumor pig's meat steaks are all on his menu these days.

Frying the leg meat of the queen ant, Shen Cong's brain is still thinking about the active "life" and "death", as well as the strengthening of living and non-living forms.

Activity can give mechanical products such as King Kong and motorcycles "live" properties, can turn cockroaches into digging insects, make teddy dogs into Thai Ritian, turn queens into giants to produce more mutated ants, and now mutate a peach tree into a poisonous scavenging tree.

Activity is unveiling little by little, revealing its face, but the more the veil is unveiled, the more doubts Shen Cong has.

Sometimes he thinks that activity is a form of radiation, and that radioactive radiation is what causes everything to change.

Activity can change the properties of metals, allowing non-metallic substances to transform into metals.

It can also strengthen the quality of the organism.

Sometimes he feels that activity is a nutrient, and this is very clear in his own body. His activity is exchanged by the King Kong through a certain impulse magnetic field, and each exchange of activity can strengthen his physical fitness.

Let Shen Cong be strengthened from a strong ordinary person to the power of two bulls.

This is similar to the stimulation mutation of radiation, but Shen Cong eats the active meat every day and ingests the activity from it. This ingestion of activity can also improve his physical fitness.

But more often than not, the activity that was exchanged and the activity ingested in the meat were all accumulated in his body for Shen Cong to consume at any time.

This way of accumulation is the "live" in Shen Cong's perception.

When this activity cannot be maintained and begins to be lost to the outside world, it is "death".

When the King Kong was "dying", the activity was slowly lost, the mutant animals were killed, and the activity in the body was also slowly lost, and the branches and silk roots of this peach tree were obviously also losing their activity.

This "death" and "living" are dead and alive relative to the active, not dead and alive in the traditional sense. When vital signs die, activity will follow "death", and if vital signs do not die, activity will also "die" and lead to the death of vital signs.

Mutated animals that are hunted belong to the death of vital signs, resulting in active "death".

The death of the plastic rabbit is an active "death", which leads to the death of vital signs.

Therefore, activity is an unsolved mystery with the triple attributes of radiation, nutrients, and life, and it cannot be accurately defined by Shen Cong's shallow observation and research.

Smack.

The induction cooker was turned off by Shen Cong, and the fragrant leg meat of the ant hinder stimulated Shen Cong's nose.

He stopped thinking about the esoteric question of "living life and death", which is both a biological and a philosophical category. Holding the fried meat, he walked to the cab, turned on the radio, and searched for a signal while eating lunch.

Hopefully, the familiar human language will reappear.

Even an intermittent vague signal can bring him a lot of information that he can use.

It's just that this noon, the radio has been repeating the sizzling and rustling sound.

Instead, it was the 15A radar, the alarm sounded, and there were living creatures moving.

Shen Cong dropped the plate, immediately picked up the periscope, and observed in the direction of the radar warning, and soon, on the top of the low mountain where he had stood before, he saw the moving object found by the 15A radar.

It was a terrifying mutated animal.

Or in other words - an ugly mutant animal, a cat covered in bone spurs!
