After speaking, Zhu Ting turned his head and picked up the third reagent tube and poured it in, and this time, the solvent in the test tube already had a distinct blue color.

This time, the loaches in the aquarium reacted much more than the last few times, and as soon as the solution in the test tube entered the water, they rushed over in a frenzy, splashing on the churning water.

Of course, this time the reagent has a much more obvious effect on them.

The bodies of the first batch of loaches exposed to the evolved hormone were elongated almost instantly, from half a meter to one meter, but what made Yu Yao and Fang Chen's eyes widen was the second batch of the second generation who came into contact with the evolved hormone.

Yu Yao could even clearly hear the sound of their vertebral bones stretching, the scale armor on their bodies quickly became larger and thicker, the fins directly became four-legged, and in terms of size, they were directly close to the first generation, and most importantly, when they landed on all fours, they turned their heads to look at them very humanely.

Yu Yao even saw a hint of anthropomorphic doubt in their eyes, and then before Yu Yao was surprised, it was as if they had suddenly received the most instinctive call in millions of years, and quickly matched up to mate and lay eggs.

And at this time, Zhu Ting spoke again, "The increase in IQ has been stored in their genetic chromosomes!" "The IQ of the second generation of loaches is now comparable to that of a three-year-old child, and this is only the second generation that has been exposed to evolutionary hormones.

Of course, in addition to the improvement of IQ and body size, Fang Chen looked at the second generation of mating and laying eggs in the aquarium, and asked, "How many generations will the disadvantages of their inbreeding appear." ”

Zhu Ting glanced at Fang Chen, "Around the tenth generation." After saying that, Zhu Ting couldn't help but shake his head, sometimes the deeper he explored, the more he could deeply feel the magic of this evolutionary hormone.

Because of the evolutionary hormones that Zhu Ting poured into it three times, the newly laid fish eggs turned into loaches in the blink of an eye, and they did not stop until they were twenty centimeters, they no longer looked like loaches at all, they were four-legged, and their appearance was more like amphibians, a little like a giant salamander, but with a gray-white scale armor.

Yu Yao even thinks they are a bit like dragons in myths and legends.

At this time, after three reproductions, there were already thousands of loaches in the aquarium, densely packed together, as if to burst the aquarium.

Zhu Ting opened the lock door again at this time, reached out and took a reagent and poured it in, "Just now it was ten thousandths of a thousandth, and now it is twenty." ”

Zhu Ting's hand was just close to the aquarium, and the thousands of loaches in the aquarium had already turned their heads and leaned over, and when he opened the lock door, hundreds of loaches pounced on his hand together.

Open your mouth to eat.

And the three people, including Harabo, just watched, standing motionless.

At the moment when the loaches collided with Zhu Ting's palm, a group of thin white strips dripping with mucus suddenly burst out of Zhu Ting's palm, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped around the group of loaches that came over.

The loach, which was still ferocious just now, didn't even have the power to backhand, and was instantly dragged into Zhu Ting's palm.

Zhu Ting just shook the water in his palm casually and poured the solvent in the test tube into it.

And the loaches that had just faded out of fear instantly pounced again. Swallow the solvent.

The body grows larger, and the four legs become thick again.

Zhu Ting's hand didn't stop, and poured two tubes of solvent one after another, and the loach became bigger and bigger, squeaking the walls of the glass tank in the aquarium.

Just when Yu Yao was worried that they would be squeezed out of the aquarium in the next second, the loach body in the fish tank suddenly shrank violently, and then quickly began to fester.

Before she could react, the scale armor on the loach's body fell off layer by layer, revealing the flesh inside, and Yu Yao could even see their exposed blood vessels.

The grayish-white of their bodies faded, revealing a rotten yellowish color, until the tail fins of their limbs were rotten, leaving only a mouth and a thin strip of white, yellowish flesh.

Seeing this, Yu Yao couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting also nodded and admitted, "This is what I have in the palm of my hand." As he spoke, he exposed his right palm so that they could see the flesh worm that was burrowing in the flesh hole in his palm, and grabbed a frog from the side and threw it in.

And the group of loaches that had already festered and only had strips of meat left saw this frog, but they were even more excited than they had just seen the evolution hormone, and they instantly pounced.

As soon as the frog came into contact with the remaining evolutionary hormones in the fish tank, it also began to evolve, and its size expanded rapidly, turning from a ping-pong ball to a basketball in a blink of an eye, but it desperately wanted to jump out of the fish tank, not because it resisted the evolutionary hormones, but because it was afraid of the yellow and white meat strips of this aquarium.

It seemed to instinctively sense the danger, and frantically hit the glass wall of the aquarium, croaking.

In a blink of an eye, he was chased by the yellow and white meat strips.

At first, the frog was still struggling and jumping, but after a while, the frog was like a piece of rotten meat floating in the water, motionless and jumped in the water by the strips of meat squeezed around.

It's like he's dead.

But just when Yu Yao thought so, the frog was "alive" again, but not in a simple sense.

The frog's eyes were open, but two slender flesh worms poked out of the eyeballs.

The whole body was bulging, and the flesh worm could be seen surging under its skin, and after kicking its legs in the water a few times, the frog shrank into the corner of the aquarium.

It is even under the influence of evolutionary hormones, slowly getting bigger, but Yu Yao feels that it is no longer a frog.

It's just that Zhu Ting pulled out his biggest hole card, what did he want to tell them? Is it just for them to see the evolution of this loach?

Looking at the few empty test tubes thrown on the small table, Yu Yao shook his head.

But Zhu Ting didn't seem to see the gaze of the other three people falling on him, he just approached the aquarium, and his face was full of chagrin, not knowing whether to tell them or say to himself, "Although the evolutionary hormone forcibly uplifts their rank sequence, it is still very limited, and when they really transform into terrestrial animals and quadrupeds, their genetic sequences collapse." ”

And then what! Hara Bo couldn't help but want to ask.

Do they parasitize on other creatures in a different way?

"No, it won't, only the loaches will. No other creature cannot. As if he understood the question in Yuan Bo's eyes, Zhu Ting turned his head and said.

"They're going to just turn into a mess of meat."

Yu Yao didn't understand anything yet, but Yuan Bo and Fang Chen's eyes lit up suddenly.

"The high concentration of solvents just now just speeds up the process." Zhu Ting continued.

"In other words, these organisms that have received the influence of evolutionary hormones will not be able to withstand the genetic sequelae caused by the forced increase of biological level in the end." Fang Chen shouted excitedly at Zhu Ting.

"It's going to be like this box of loaches, and it's going to be a mess of meat." Supplemented by the original park.

Zhu Ting helped his glasses, and for the first time felt that Fang Chen, a student, had not received it in vain.

Yuan Bo frowned after speaking, "But with their reproductive ability, even if all the mutated creatures will eventually become a mess of meat, their overall population is constantly increasing. ”

And, "with the current concentration of evolutionary hormones in seawater, how long will it take for them to reach the point of genetic sequence collapse, five years, ten years?" And in these five years, ten years, to what extent will their populations multiply and expand? And how many times will this expanding population level their reserves. The facts in front of him made Yuan Bo feel disheartened for a moment.

"Unless it's stuck at the source." Fang Fangchen whispered.

Then he and Yuan Bo glanced at each other and shouted in unison, "Evolution hormone." ”

Zhu Ting nodded, "Yes, only by controlling the concentration of evolutionary hormones in seawater can we fundamentally solve the problem of mutation tides." "In order to save yourself.

"But where are we going to extract so many evolutionary hormones and accelerate the collapse of their genetic sequences?" Yu Yao felt that he understood, and couldn't help but speak.

But Zhu Ting just glanced at her with a smile and shook his head, "We are not accelerating their evolution, but slowing them down!" ”

Slow? Wouldn't that make them live longer?

Yuan Bo couldn't help but open his mouth to explain to Yu Yao, from the experiment just now, it can be seen that what is more terrifying than the soaring combat power of mutant creatures is their reproductive ability.

And evolutionary hormones will not only accelerate the process of their extinction, but also shorten the time for them to grow, if it is like putting a high concentration of solvents in the ocean, no matter where they come from, even a sudden surge of mutations will swallow them up in an instant.

Moreover, the ocean is vast, and this solution is obviously impossible.

After several fights, the direct reason why the scale of the mutation tide has increased instead of decreasing is because the evolutionary hormones in the ocean are constantly giving birth to new mutant organisms, and now, if you want to solve them, you can only find a way to block the source of the spread of this evolutionary hormone.

When the concentration of evolutionary hormones in seawater is getting lower and lower, the impact of newborn mutant organisms will be smaller and smaller, and the adult mutant organisms are still evolving under the influence of evolutionary hormones.

Of course, this point in time is not a year or two, or even five or ten years, and it may be that in a hundred years, when you and I are gone, the world will return to square one.

……

Yuyao: ...... Having said all this, Zhu Ting's tube of evolved hormones added in one tube is actually useless, is it?

No, how can it be said that it is useless, it tells us that the final result of mutated organisms is the collapse of the genetic sequence and death.

Yuyao: ...... Do you still need someone to tell this?

No matter how awesome this evolutionary hormone was, she never thought that this mutant creature would be immortal.

Fang Chen: ...... Well, let's move on to the next topic!

The three of them rarely thought of being together, and forced themselves to ignore Yu Yao's eyes that looked at them as if he was looking at a fool.

"But the evolutionary hormone in seawater is already difficult to extract, not to mention now, even before the disaster, it is impossible to filter and extract the entire seawater in the ocean, let alone our current situation." After the flood, only the last extraction equipment is left in the entire reserve. With only this one, the extraction work has to be carried out until the Year of the Monkey.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he had just had an ethereal hope, which was shattered in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Ting couldn't help but laugh, "We don't need extraction instruments, we have ready-made ones." As he spoke, he took it out of the basin of the small table next to him......

"Is this a mussel?" Yu Yao looked at the white shell in Zhu Ting's hand and asked. Then without waiting for Zhu Ting to reply, she shook her head and said, "This is not a mussel." "The shells of mussels should be sharper and smaller, while the white shells in Zhu Ting's hands should be flatter and thicker, with faint patterns on them. And most crucially, this thing has a red tongue.

Yu Yao didn't know why, he always felt that this white shell was a little familiar, but when he suddenly thought about it, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"I call it a fluorescent shell." This is also what Zhu Ting accidentally discovered, that is, when the Xishan Laboratory was breached, he ran away with his nephew, and when he passed through a valley, the meat worm in his palm suddenly moved, and he dived under the water and found this shell.

Saying that, Zhu Ting put the shell in his hand into the waterway, and this shell in the water is much more beautiful than in Zhu Ting's hand, the pure white shell, as soon as it enters the water, it seems to be soaked in a layer of oil, shining with jade-white gloss, and under the reflection of the sun, it opens its mouth slightly, and there seems to be a white fluorescence flashing on the red shell tongue.

No, it's not like, it's really flashing.

Zhu Ting reached out to a tube of diluted solvent and put it in, and the shell was sucked up, and then melted into the white fluorescence on the tip of the tongue.

And the white fluorescence suddenly became even more dazzling.

Zhu Ting turned it upside down one tube at a time, and the white fluorescence on the white shell tongue became more and more condensed, and gradually, it condensed into a white bead like a pearl.

Yuan Bo couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This thing can purify evolutionary hormones?" ”

Zhu Ting nodded.

And Yu Yao finally remembered where he had seen this white shell.

"In Linhai City, in the underground karst cave of the artificial lake of our Normal University. It's full of these beautiful white shells, and not only can they extract evolutionary hormones from seawater, but the patches of shells also have psychedelic effects that attract fish to absorb the evolutionary hormones in their flesh and blood. Thinking of the scene of the white fluorescence converging into a river and flowing in the cave below, Yu Yao couldn't help but sigh.

Can you also absorb the evolutionary hormones in your flesh? Zhu Ting's eyes looked at the white shells as if they were shining.

"Have you seen this white shell anywhere else?" Hara asked.

Yu Yao thought about it and shook his head decisively, "No, I've only seen it in Linhai City, in the underground cave of the artificial lake of Shida." Speaking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but think, mussels have spread to everywhere, this white shell is much more domineering than mussels, but why has she only seen it in artificial lakes.
