Chen Ze was next to the nutrition cabin, observing the embryo inside with his mental power.

I saw that the skin, muscles, bones and internal organs of the larval embryo had been formed rapidly atrophied in an instant, and then expanded sharply, the skin turned blue-black, and some small bone spurs that pierced the muscles suddenly grew at the joints of the bones of the body.

"What's going on, why is this deformity happening......"

Chen Zewei frowned slightly and continued to observe, but found that the internal organs of the embryo died rapidly in the process of atrophy and expansion, and the bone spurs at the joints stopped growing, and in just ten minutes, the embryo had no trace of life at all.

"Embryonic death?"

Chen Ze was a little incredulous and muttered, "The synthetic gene template obviously does not have a conflict problem, why does the embryo produce aberrations and quickly fall into death when it is close to forming?"

In fact, he had thought about any problems that might arise during the experiment, but he didn't expect this to happen.

Chen Ze didn't speculate too much, and when there was a problem, he immediately began to look for the crux of the problem.

Taking out the embryo corpse from the nutrition cabin, under the observation of the microscopic world of the molecular structure of mental power and the corresponding experimental instruments, Chen Ze tested the internal condition of the embryonic cells, trying to find the cause of the aberration and death.

Until the afternoon of the next day......

"Most of this experimental path is wrong. ”

Chen Ze sat in front of the experimental table, retracted his mental power and line of sight, moved the notebook on the side to the front, and recorded it on the notepad, "In the first experiment, the embryonic development error rate of synthetic genes was 63.75 percent. ”

"The original idea was basically correct, and the gene template synthesized after modifying the genetic information had no obvious conflicts, but there were obvious internal defects. ”

"...... during embryonic development"

Ten fingers flew, and he recorded thousands of words in his notebook before Chen Ze stopped with both hands.

In fact, the idea of synthetic genes was basically correct at the beginning, but during the development of synthetic gene templates, although there is no conflict, the defects are very obvious.

These defects cause some unstable factors in the development of the embryo, such as blue and black skin and bone spurs, which are malignant deformities and abnormalities due to instability, and finally the aberration reaches a critical point......

The internal organs of the embryo cannot withstand the rapid contraction and expansion, so it quickly loses its cell activity and vital characteristics, and falls into complete death.

"Since the idea is not wrong, it is time to find a way to address the genetic defects and developmental instability. ”

............

More than ten days later, the genetic defect was preliminarily solved, and Chen Ze immediately launched a second trial.

The initial growth and development were basically the same as those of the first experiment, but Chen Ze was already prepared for failure in advance.

Chen Ze knew very well that his idea of fusing geobiology and wizard creation to transform a legendary creature like a vampire was actually quite clever, but ......

This approach is also tantamount to opening up a small branch in the science of wizarding creation.

After all, this kind of path has not been really walked by any wizard in Chen Ze's memory.

And Chen Ze understands even more that opening up this kind of branch can never be successful in one or two months or one or two experiments, and he needs to be prepared for countless failures and starting again.

Some time followed......

Chen Ze was not in such a hurry as before, and the speed of instilling life energy into the embryo slowed down a lot.

The embryonic development in the vegetative chamber is detected and checked every 12 hours every day, and the corresponding experimental data are recorded.

As for the rest of the time, Chen Ze continued to practice as a wizard, and after being promoted to an intermediate apprentice, the speed of building inscriptions has increased rapidly, and now he can complete a basic element inscription in only about ten days.

However, this speed is still too slow in Chen Ze's opinion......

At the beginning of his promotion, Chen Ze gradually had some ominous premonitions in his heart, and this premonition also prompted Chen Ze not to relax in the slightest.

Although this stage of the wizard's apprenticeship is only equivalent to the foundation period in the wizarding civilization, and it can only strengthen the body and soul, and it is not officially classified as a wizard, but even so......

The strength of the Wizard Apprentice is still undeniable.

Not long ago, Chen Ze had personally conducted a test, and the content of the test was the strength of the energy emitted by the superposition of his own elemental inscription and magic power.

And that test also made him take a big startle, because he was surprised to find that the energy emitted by himself was almost the same as the energy at the center of a large missile's explosion.

"Humanoid self-propelled missiles, understand?"

This sentence is equivalent to a true portrayal of Chen Ze's heart at that time.

In addition to the energy intensity, each promotion of a wizard apprentice increases the lifespan by a certain amount.

To put it simply, the body of the wizard apprentice can continuously stimulate the activity of cells under the influence of the elemental inscription, compared to the aging rate of the ordinary Chen Ze's body, which is greatly slowed down, and the same is true for the soul.

If the so-called "immortality" of hundreds of years in Chinese legends, Chen Ze has undoubtedly achieved it now.

It stands to reason that with such a long lifespan, Chen Ze shouldn't be so eager, but ......

The increasingly strong sense of ominousness in his heart made him have to get anxious.

Although Chen Ze couldn't guess where this sense of ominousness came from, he was sure that every point he improved would decrease by one point in the danger he might encounter at that time.

............

One morning......

Chen Ze came to the garden in the middle of the square manor, leaning back slightly to feel the sunshine that had not been seen for nearly a month.

At this time, in an open area of the garden, Marcuri was practicing the movements of the channeling technique with Phoebe and Chloe.

Standing more than ten meters away, Chen Ze didn't get close to disturb them, just watched quietly, and at the same time, his spiritual power spread and slowly infiltrated into their bodies.

"The host ......"

Ten minutes later, when they stopped for a short break after practicing a set of movements, the three of them found Chen Ze standing not far away almost at the same time, and bowed down in unison.

Chen Ze paced up to them, his eyes quickly crossed the faces of Marcuri, Phoebe and Chloe, and said with a smile: "Marcuri, you have improved very quickly during this time, and you are about to reach the limit of a full-fledged knight?"

Although Chen Ze's words were an inquiry, they faintly revealed a clear and unquestionable meaning.

"Yes, master. ”

Marcuri stepped forward and nodded his head in response, "The strength of the potion you have given has been increasing step by step these days, and after relying on the medicinal effect to cultivate, the progress has indeed accelerated a lot compared to before. ”

"Of course, your own efforts are also essential. ”

Chen Ze praised him with a smile, then turned his head to look at Phoebe and Chloe, a man and a woman, and said, "They are not far from becoming official knights, Marcuri, you have to keep an eye on them when they break through." ”

"Yes. Marcuri bowed his head in response.

"Don't let anyone bother me for the rest of the time, you have full control over everything on the ranch, and ......"

Chen Ze turned around and paused, and finally said, "Add some beef cattle in an appropriate amount, don't let outsiders find out about the abnormality of the pasture." ”

The words fell, and before Marcuri could respond, Chen Ze sped up and left his line of sight.

............

Time flies, more than ten days later at midnight......

"Wow...... Wow......"

Chen Ze, who was cultivating, suddenly heard an extremely obvious strange baby cry, and immediately interrupted the construction of the inscription and got up and came to the nutrition cabin.

The nutrition chamber was slowly opened, and I saw that in the inner nutrient solution, a baby who had not yet opened his eyes was crying inside, and some nutrient solution was poured into the baby's mouth from time to time.

"It's ...... Is this a success?"

A faint look of surprise appeared on Chen Ze's face, and before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly cut the artificial umbilical cord, took the baby out of it, and put it into the incubator that had been prepared long ago.

After a while, the baby's crying gradually stopped, and Chen Ze sat down by the incubator with a notebook.

"The embryo is fully developed, the vital signs are obvious, and there are no signs of death......"

Chen Ze used his mental power to probe the physical condition of the baby in the incubator, while making detailed data records on the computer.

"But ......"

After recording the data, although Chen Ze's face still had a residual joy, it was mixed with some other emotions, "The unstable distortion caused by the genetic defect still exists......"

Looking at the baby with blue-black skin in the incubator and a pair of perichondral wings growing on his back, Chen Ze frowned and said, "To be precise, this can only be regarded as a defective product within a defective product." ”
