Chapter 46: The Monster and the Moonlight (12)

"What principle?" Cheng Mo couldn't hide his astonishment, he didn't expect Athena to figure out the principle that the body could intercept energy so quickly, so the question in his heart blurted out.

Athena didn't have any appetizing vices, and said bluntly: "Actually, I have done in-depth research on the differences between carriers, lizardmen and humans before, so I can find a rough answer so quickly." To put it simply, carrier myocytes are very different from human myocytes in that the surface of carrier myocytes is very specific, divided into two sides, one is innervated by specific cation channels, and the other is an invaginated plasma membrane that is covered with sodium pumps. This layered arrangement of functionally asymmetrical cells forms a structure similar to that of a battery in series, which can allow infinite voltage superposition. When the carrier is used, the surface of the innervated cell has the function of a neurologically controlled ion channel, and when the channel is opened by the innervation, a large amount of cation outflow forms an energy flow....."

Cheng Mo looked at Athena, her expression was serious and focused when talking about academics, which reminded Cheng Mo of those academic masters standing on the podium of the auditorium, they stood on the top of the mountain of a certain discipline, or they were the peaks, human beings may disappear, but their holy names will live forever, like those immortal peaks.

He still has great respect for such people in his heart, which stems from the intellectuals' natural worship of true knowledge, which is inevitably led to the belief in science in the hearts of people like Cheng Mo. It's just that Athena's stunning beauty greatly weakens the sense of authority and reinterprets what it means to be invisible. Especially recently, she has been unkempt on the sofa all day watching "Crayon Xiaoxin", which makes Cheng Mo even more unable to connect her with an academic master.

But at this moment, with Athena's professional explanation, Cheng Mo's heart involuntarily changed his perception of Athena, and the image of Athena, who was arrogant, ignorant of the world, and despised everything, gradually coincided with the image of the goddess of wisdom, which made him happy and convinced.

"The working principle of the carrier cell should be the same as that of all animal cell membranes to control the opening and closing of ion channels, except that the genes involved in the functions of cell pumps and ion channels in the carrier cells are incredibly upregulated, and the vector can control these cells to open the ion pump at the same time, and at the same time let a large number of ions flow directionally to form an energy flow, or an energy pulse (high-speed opening and closing)...... In fact, human cells also have this ability, but what they lack is a directional control mechanism. Therefore, I speculate that the principle of black magic is to increase the control of muscle cells through yoga exercises, and also to stimulate the ion pump in the cells by secreting adrenaline......"

Cheng Mo only has some basic knowledge in biology, and his interest is not in cytology, but on the various species of the earth, and he can talk about plants or animals with him, from the rare vine fern in the Amazon jungle to the sky overlord of the Cretaceous Aeolian pterodactyl.

But when it comes to cytology, Cheng Mo can only barely understand what Athena said, but Cheng Mo did not give up thinking, his brain has been running at full strength to keep up with Athena's thinking, and when Athena stopped, he said according to his own understanding: "It feels a bit like an electric eel, except that the electric eel itself has a power generation organ and does not need to obtain energy from the outside." ”

Athena nodded, "That's right, in terms of the mechanism of energy flow and storage, it does look a bit like an electric eel, but the potential difference between the inside and outside of the electric spot cell of the electric eel is only 0.15V, and the capacity and efficiency are far from the carrier cells. ”

Cheng Mo didn't care so much about the mechanism of the ontology intercepting energy, what he cared about was whether there was a way to improve the capacity of the ontology to store energy and the efficiency of intercepting energy, but according to Athena, the space that the ontology could improve was quite limited, so he frowned and asked: "The ancient electric eel evolved into the current one after 200 million years, and it took a total of 6 major evolutions to become the current one that can release 200- With an 800-volt structure, it's an impossible task to rely on black magic to make the body reach 20% of the carrier?"

"More in-depth research is needed, but the upper limit of human ontology is really low. Athena replied indifferently, but she was a little surprised in her heart because of Cheng Mo's understanding of animals.

Generally speaking, the Chosen will not study these irrelevant subjects, they will not be beneficial to the ability of the Chosen One, and 99% of the Chosen will focus on mathematics, physics, chemistry and other subjects that can directly improve their combat effectiveness.

Only a few, like Napoleon VII, studied history and politics based on the needs of reality and ideals. Athena, for example, is a novice in history and politics.

Athena replied quite affirmatively, which made Cheng Mo very disappointed, but he didn't show these disappointments, and asked indifferently: "You said that the upper limit of the human body is indeed very low, is it that the genes of the lizardman are closer to the carrier, so the upper limit of the lizardman is very high?"

"That's true. However, even lizardmen cannot fully reach the height of the carrier. Cheng Mo's keen language capture and analytical skills made Athena look up at him more, she didn't like to talk to fools, Cheng Mo was no longer a fool to her.

"So my organ transplant surgery to become a lizardman is the most direct way to improve the degree of ontology carrierization?" Cheng Mo continued to ask.

"Yes, but even if you have an organ transplant, it depends on the degree of mutation after your surgery, and there is no way to control this at present....."

"What does the degree of variation mean?"

"Lizardhuman cells are very aggressive, so when doing organ transplantation, they will change the DNA of the recipient, but the degree of change varies from person to person, we generally call the DNA change degree of more than 80% pure-blooded people, and the less than 80% of the DNA changes are called mutants, and the degree of DNA change is less than 50%, which is regarded as low-grade mutants, and more than 50% is called mixed-blood. ”

"Ahh Cheng Mo was surprised, "So what are those lizardmen in the hospital?"

"The creatures in the guards and formalin are not lizardmen, but biobots, which we commonly use in the Black Death to nurture lizardfolk organs, but their appearance is borrowed from the lizardmen's 'native species'......"

"No wonder it's dormant. Cheng Mo suddenly realized in his heart, and he asked again: "That 'native species' refers to the most primitive lizardmen?"

"Yes. Athena said expressionlessly.

Obviously, Athena didn't want to say more about the lizardmen, so Cheng Mo didn't continue to ask, and nodded to show that he understood. Athena's current research has disillusioned his hopes of being an ontological carrier through the practice of dark magic, but it has also given him a new path, Cheng Mo has no resistance to becoming a lizardman, and when it is more beneficial for him to become a lizardman, he does not mind having a surgery to become a lizardman.

"Then do you need me to guide you in practicing snake yoga now? we can verify in you whether the Celestial Dragon Human Body is really more suitable for practicing black magic than the human body......" Cheng Mo said calmly, but he did not hide the eagerness and purpose in his heart at all.

"Yes, you can verify that you take off all the electrode patches. ”

Cheng Mo hurriedly removed all the electrode patches attached to his body, got off the sofa and put on his T-shirt, then turned to look at Athena and said, "Let's start now?"

"We?" Athena turned her head to look at Cheng Mo and said with an inexplicable expression, "I don't need you, you can go out." ”

Cheng Mo was stunned, thinking that it might not be very convenient for him to stay, so he said a little stupidly: "I'll wait for you to finish pasting the electrode patch, and then come in?" I think my experience is still somewhat useful to you. ”

Athena raised her chin and said lightly, "No." ”

Athena's tone could easily be misinterpreted as contempt, but Cheng Mo now knew that Athena was just speaking more directly, and she might not have the concept of contempt in her brain, so he didn't feel any unpleasantness, shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the door.

When grabbing the handle, Cheng Mo still had some regrets in his heart that he couldn't stay and observe the scene of Athena's black magic cultivation, no matter if something could happen, at least it would definitely be pleasant to watch Athena practice yoga. So before closing the door completely, Cheng Mo seemed to remember something, opened the door again, and was just about to speak, but saw Athena taking off her T-shirt, she closed her eyes and raised her hands, the wide white T-shirt had been pulled halfway, revealing her jade white and tight waist, her waist was not slender, and the moon-shaped waistline formed between the hip bones was too eye-catching, and the obvious vest line on the abdomen drew a flexible and soul-seducing line.

The so-called bee waist is to describe such a figure, the cheap wide white T-shirt has also become full of style, and what makes people's blood more exciting is the sweatpants with strong wrapping, which inexplicably people have a kind of nervous senses, as if the closed buds will open and bloom at any time.

At this moment, Cheng Mo's adrenaline soared wildly, almost spurting out a nosebleed, he hurriedly closed the door before Athena found out, and shouted at the door: "If you can't practice, you can call me at any time, I'm at the door." ”

Athena in the room didn't know what kind of thrilling mental journey Cheng Mo had experienced, and ignored him completely.

Cheng Mo's sudden heartbeat could not be calmed for a long time, and he walked towards the beach lounger at the corner of the walkway against the sea breeze, but his mind was full of Athena's two tooth-white crescent moons. He closed his eyes and lay on the canvas chaise longue, the sound of the waves, the warm winter sun like a gentle soothing, making people think in comfort.

Lust is such a good thing, it is like an anesthetic, it is a temporary relief from pain and anxiety......——————————————————————————

With radar and satellite navigation turned off, the speed of navigation was much slower, which led to a much delay in the entry of bulk carriers into the waters off Tuerzi. After entering the waters of Tulzi, Captain Omero approached Cheng Mo again to discuss whether to turn on the radar and navigation again, after all, Sila and Turzi do not deal with each other, and the relationship with the Europa Alliance is not good, and he will definitely not help Sila and the Europa Alliance to hunt them down.

Cheng Mo thought twice and felt that Napoleon VII should have noticed the abnormality of this bulk carrier, and the Chosen One would definitely not be intent on the Erqi Coast Guard, and would definitely follow into the waters of Tulqi. So Cheng Mo not only did not allow Captain Omelo to turn on the radar and satellite navigation, but instead told him to modify the route further and go around the Aiji sea area to continue his progress.

The Ai and the Coast Guard are not easy to mess with, so entering the Ai and the sea is also a risky thing, but Captain Omero does not dare to resist Cheng Mo's will at all, no matter how strong the Ai and the Coast Guard are, they are not as strong as the Chosen One. not only immediately changed the route, but also took the initiative to ask Cheng Mo if he had thought about where to get off the ship.

Cheng Mo naturally wouldn't tell Omero what he really thought, and left the cockpit after saying that he would inform him when the time came. In the past two days, Athena would drive Cheng Mo out to do black magic research by herself during the day, and she would not eat lunch, and she would not allow Cheng Mo to return to the room with the dinner prepared for her until dinner.

There is no difference between this day and the previous two days, Athena finished eating the potato beef stew made by Cheng Mo, and began to study the experimental data on the computer, while Cheng Mo silently cleaned up the dishes and cleaned the house, unlike Xie Minyun's severe storage addiction disorder, Athena never did any housework, even the clothes were not washed, and they were thrown away when they were worn. Cheng Mo even suspected that Athena had not gone out all the time, just because she had not prepared a coat, and there was really nothing extra to throw away.

Cheng Mo not only has no opinion on becoming a servant, but is also willing to solve Athena's worries and immerse himself in research, after all, the results of research are also very important to him.

After cleaning and sending the tableware back to the kitchen, Cheng Mo took the initiative to mix another cup of frozen lemon cola for Athena and put it in Athena's hand. Athena, who was staring at the screen intently, heard the voice, glanced at Cheng Mo, picked up the Coke and took a sip without saying thank you to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo was also accustomed to this, seeing that three days were about to pass, Cheng Mo didn't ask Athena how she was exercising, originally he firmly believed that Athena would never be able to master the method of intercepting energy with the body within three days, but when Athena studied the mechanism in just two days, and concluded that the lizardman body was more suitable for using "black magic" than the human body, Cheng Mo felt that this matter should be no difficulty for Athena.

He even thought that Athena might be able to master the skills he had painstakingly discovered in just one day, but until the third Athena did not say that she could intercept energy with her body. Cheng Mo didn't bother to ask, even if Athena didn't do it within three days, it was already awesome enough, Cheng Mo knew this, so he was willing to give Athena enough respect.

Seeing that Athena didn't seem to have succeeded in cultivating, Cheng pondered silently for a moment, not intending to help Athena obviously, so he pretended to suddenly remember, and took the initiative to say: "There is something I just recalled, I don't know if it will help the research." ”

Athena didn't look up," she said. ”

"I did Vipassana before opening the chakras and activating the Serpent of Light and the Holy Grail. ”

"Vipassana?"

The Zen Buddhist word for "vipassana" seemed relatively unfamiliar to Athena, so Cheng Mo stripped away the religious connotation and explained it in intuitive language as much as possible: "How to say, just like an MRI, you establish a perception of the internal condition of your body, and although this perception is still very vague, you can generally feel the flow of blood and energy in your body. Especially when the adrenaline is exuberant, the clearer the vipassana will be. So the key is to control the secretion of adrenaline, but human beings cannot control their heartbeat and blood flow by will, they must rely on external stimuli, I remember the day I ......"

Athena interrupted Cheng Mo's narration and said lightly: "These imagery contents are useless for actual research, what I need is tangible data." ”

Cheng Mo kindly said his true feelings, Athena didn't appreciate it at all, and Cheng Mo restrained a little unhappiness in his heart, shook his head and said, "There is no data." After saying that, he lay down on the sofa and said no more, and the atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while.

It stands to reason that they don't usually talk much, everything should be considered normal, but Athena, who has always been sluggish, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and looked up at Cheng Mo lying on the sofa, but she didn't say anything, and then continued to look down at the computer screen.

Cheng Mo rested for a while, but decided to leave the room and do snake yoga on the beach chair in the corridor, the reason why he didn't exercise in the room was not because he estimated Athena's anything, but because Athena was in the same room, but it would affect the effectiveness of the exercise. He didn't know exactly why.

In addition, even if the upper limit of human ontology is limited, Cheng Mo does not intend to give up his efforts, he is not a person who will give up easily.

The effect of exercising in the sea breeze is really good, Cheng Mo feels that the efficiency of intercepting energy has improved, although this improvement is insignificant, but it is better than nothing, and Cheng Mo has always believed that accumulation is not wrong.

When Cheng Mo returned to the room at ten o'clock, Athena had surprisingly not started watching "Crayon Xiaoxin" today, and was still reading some information. Cheng Mo didn't talk to Athena, made three ice cups and put them in the refrigerator for later use, and lay down on the sofa to rest.

Soon Cheng Mo fell asleep, and also had a dream, this dream was extremely real, he dreamed that he was standing under the railway bridge without an inch, at this time there was a tram whistling by, the railway bridge trembled in the rumbling sound, and there were people entering and leaving the door of the convenience store not far away. He stood in the shadows shivering, terrified that someone would come towards the hole and find him unclothed.

A great sense of fear surrounded him, he wanted to run away but didn't know where to run, there were people on the left and right, how he wished he could pick up a piece of clothing, even a paper shell, but the ground was clean, wisdom had no effect at this time. He could already hear the sound of laughter and footsteps, the sound of girls chatting getting closer, he was sweating profusely, and this extreme insecurity almost suffocated him.......

He turned his head to look at the bridge hole, and at the edge of the hazy and bright light appeared a familiar face, but the face was so vague that he had not had time to see who it was, and he woke up from his dream, and sat up from the sofa with a sharp, gasping for breath in the darkness.

The dream was so real that he blinked his eyes several times before he realized that it was just a dream. Cheng Mo calmed down and calmed his breath before looking in the direction of the desk, Athena's laptop screen was still glowing, but there was no sound.

Cheng Mo fixed his eyes and saw that there was no one on the sofa chair, he turned his head to look at the bed and the bathroom, and still didn't see Athena's figure, which made Cheng Mo very strange, even if the carrier was activated, the body should be in the room. He quickly got up, only to notice that Athena was standing in the hallway looking out to sea.

Athena, who has never stepped out of the door of the room these days, actually walked out of the room, which really surprised Cheng Mo. Seeing Athena, Cheng Mo lay back on the sofa, he had no intention of caring about what Athena was doing, maybe she just wanted to blow the wind, in short, Cheng Mo felt that he had no reason or position to care about Athena.

He closed his eyes and tried to fall back asleep, but he was still drowning in the not-so-terrible dream he had just had. Cheng Mo couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he got up and went to the bathroom to go to the toilet, and when he walked back to the sofa, Cheng Mo glanced at Athena's laptop and saw that the player was frozen in episode 540 of the second season of "Crayon Xiaoxin", and the name of this episode was "Mom is Dying".

He was deeply impressed by this episode, and he clearly remembered the plot of that episode. Xiaoxin was watching a TV series at home, and suddenly the heroine of the TV series vomited blood, and told the male protagonist that his condition had deteriorated and he had only three months to live, and the male protagonist said: "For you, I am willing to do anything!"

This vulgar plot moved the young Xiaoxin a lot and made Cheng Mo feel funny.

Xiaoxin, who was full of tears, wanted to drink water after watching the TV series, but happened to see his mother drinking tomato juice, Xiaoxin thought that his mother was vomiting blood like the heroine on TV, and then his mother said that he felt unwell and wanted to go to the hospital, so he misunderstood and made Xiaoxin mistakenly think that his mother was going to die.

The panicked Xiaoxin told Xiaobai about his worries, and he still said in a cheap voice: "Mom will die in three months, in case Mom dies, it's a hodgepodge of porridge made by Dad, what Dad cooks looks so bad, I still like to eat what Mom cooks." ”

After playing a soy sauce with his friends, Xiaoxin lost his hand at the door of his house and waited for his mother who went to the hospital for a day, the sunset shone at the door, Xiaoxin frowned and sat alone on the steps, but Xiaoxin, who was happy at this time, was not happy at all, only made Cheng Mo feel extremely sad.

Until the moment Meiya came back, Xiaoxin immediately rushed towards her mother in the sunset, shouting: "Mom don't die, for you, I am willing to do anything!"

When he saw this scene, Cheng Mo raised his hand and turned off the video, and since then he has never opened "Crayon Xiaoxin", and his memories of "Crayon Xiaoxin" are frozen in the second season 540 episodes of "Mom is Dying".

Unexpectedly, today revisited this past, Cheng Mo felt that all this was definitely not a coincidence, Athena definitely had something to make her sad about her mother. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head to look at Athena in the corridor, the clear light was mottled, the sea breeze was blowing, her long golden hair was like a brocade floating like a flag in the moonlight, and the wide white T-shirt was also blown up, just looking at the back made Cheng Mo feel that the earthly aura was compelling, as if she was about to melt into the moonlight.

This picture is really a bit beautiful, so Cheng Mo was fascinated, at this moment, he saw Athena raise her wrist, as if she had taken off something, and then she waved her hand, and a blue light flashed in Cheng Mo's eyes, drawing an arc in the direction of the moon.

The blue light inlaid with gold edges, Cheng Mo is already very familiar, it is Athena's Uloporos.......
