Staring at a group of insect lichs, fantasizing that she was wearing silk satin, could such a person make her idle?

Of course not.

But a lot of the current work is trivial and boring, and she is not happy to hand it over to her. And the machine he is groping, this one is even more respectful. I didn't see that when she was keen on the automatic control program of the Silverbeard Dwarf's peace forces, Fen was only the editor of the program, and she didn't touch the ontology of the peace forces.

So someone suggested that this idle lich, who spends her days thinking, 'okay', do something that she should be interested in and that belongs to the high-end research category: cross-breeding.

The first step is to record the DNA sequence of all the collected moth species. This is not to be genetically modified, but to determine the reproductive isolation between these moth species.

I still remember that I studied Darwin's theory of evolution, many of which were compared by his old man, highlighting the theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

It's like an alien seeing a human being and a chimpanzee, and coming to the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest. That's why there is a conclusion that more hair is stronger, and one is less hairy and thin. That's! Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the situation of the moth species before making appropriate arrangements for subsequent hybridization experiments.

When it comes to genetic modification, Fen is undoubtedly at the forefront of what anyone knows. But what she did to herself was really just create a one-of-a-kind superhuman. However, an individual cannot be considered a species after all, and if the target is silk, one or two super moths will not be useful. It has to be able to multiply and produce silk cocoons.

Secondly, if this lich is really studied in the direction of the basic modified species, who knows what kind of evil she will demonize. That part is too cutting-edge, and someone is not familiar with it, so it is still highly recommended that she do cross-breeding.

Someone also has a good reason, since they don't know what kind of silk thread is most suitable, why take the same uncertain and most troublesome road. The first easy thing to do first, not to go further into the difficulty. Thankfully, Fen accepted.

After determining the situation of reproductive isolation, Fen began to make a preliminary plan for different moth species that could hybridize with each other. Anyway, under Harumi's care, each pair of moths can produce three or four hundred eggs. Even if only half of them survive, eighty percent of the remaining half will be used to trial make silk threads, and the remaining one and a half will be used for breeding, and there will still be half of them that can be fooled around.

Studying the collected moth species at the biological level, there are still some interesting findings.

First of all, the eighteen species of magic moths and the four common moths actually belong to the subspecies of the three species, and they are not classified by innate or incompetent powers, but by the shape of their wings. There are three types of fore and rear wings with triangular shapes, obvious eye lines on the front and rear wings, and straight stripes on the forewings. with those who do not have power.

But the DNA of these three moth species? Basically, it is still a double-strand helix structure. And the only Golden Moth is different, she has a four-strand spiral structure? Similar to the Dragons. Just the information contained in the genome and sequence? Far inferior to the dragons.

By the way? The Homo sapiens species that Lin has encountered so far include the native humans - Halumi and Kaya, and the male Uzov? Gantia, Silverbeard Dwarf Jermaine, Marit? Goblin Tokkani and his daughter Polly? Lots of wood elves and elves? Dark Elf Mel and so on? All people's DNA sequences are twenty-two pairs of chromosomes plus two? Male XY? Females are xx.

That is, all the Homo sapiens species that someone encounters right now? There is no reproductive isolation, and even the origin may be the same. As for why...... Want a physics student to explore the problem of biology? Too brain-burning? So skip it.

However, dragons have a strong ability to reproduce across species, and not only can they reproduce offspring with dragon blood with other creatures, but these descendants may even become a species and continue to maintain their characteristics. What exactly is the principle behind this, someone's biological knowledge is too weak to guess.

But there is a little speculation, will there be a golden moth with a four-strand spiral structure, which has the same strong ability to reproduce as the dragons? Someone would know that if they talked about it casually, they would see the lich's excited and evil smile on his face...... Forget it, let her go.

In addition to Finn preparing to make a big splash, Harumi's observations also revealed some interesting phenomena.

First of all, the larvae of all moth species can be vegan. It is not necessary that the adult worm will eat meat, and the larvae must be fed meat. Of course, you can also eat the meat.

Secondly, the larvae of ordinary moths are not good, but those moth species that are born with magical powers, if their larvae grind magic stones into powder and sprinkle them on the leaves or meat pieces used as fodder when feeding, it is not known whether they are good or bad; On the other hand, it will also speed up its growth. Originally, it would take 20 days to enter the next molting period, but it can be reduced to a maximum of 10 days.

If the larvae of the common moth eat this kind of feeding, they will die violently. Moreover, the larvae of ordinary moths will not be able to distinguish whether the food has been fed or not, and will only keep eating stupidly. If you accidentally ingest the magic stone powder, you will not have any uncomfortable symptoms, but will directly turn black, stiffen, and die.

The grade of the magic stone also has an effect on the effect of feeding. But it's not that the better you use, the better the effect. Basically, when it reaches the level of a magic stone, its powder becomes poison. Some moth larvae know how to avoid it, while others eat it stupidly and then die violently.

It is not enough to feed pure magic stone powder or a large amount of feeding, those more intelligent moth larvae, after eating a certain limit, will look for food without additives to eat. Those unintelligent larvae, of course, eat until they die.

Halumi, who was originally proud of such a discovery, immediately collapsed his face after hearing the teacher's instructions, and almost didn't cry or scold. Someone said, "Well, well done. Then the observation group should be subdivided. Now all the classifications have to be divided into those who are fed magic stone powder, and those who are not fed. And pay attention to the upper limit of the feeding amount for each stage of the larvae. ”

The original job was doubled in an instant, and the blonde girl was about to cry.

But what made her even more sad was someone's behavior after the first larvae spit out silk and formed cocoons.

Although the silk reeling machine was completed before that, no one except Lin knew the operation process.

Until someone threw the cocoon into the dryer, the two girls who had been assisting in the operation were stunned; Because in that heat, not many small creatures have a way to survive. Harumi was even more reluctant to give up the larvae she had taken care of during this time, although she did not cry, but she was also uncomfortable.

For the performance of the two girls, they didn't need to be comforted by others, and the two quickly adjusted. Speaking of which, the law of the jungle is also the norm of obsessiveness. They grew up in this world, and someone has never taken care of them, and they are completely free-range. Not to mention killing chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits, even robbers and uncivilized goblins have been stabbed, and killing has long been strange.

It's just that someone did not explain it in advance before doing it, and the sudden action frightened them.

For the first batch of silk cocoons, someone followed the process in his memory, groping and going. Because the first time was mainly to test the operation of the silk reeling machine, the enchantment mode was not enabled.

However, the commissioning did not go well. The part of finding the thread is because I can't think of how to do it automatically, so I can only watch it by someone and do it manually.

And one of the silk threads of the silk reeling machine uses seven cocoons, which are seven cocoon silk, and the adjustment of the silk reeling force also makes someone quite troubled. Because the horsepower of the machine is too large, the silk thread is always broken. When any of the threads break, the machine has to stop automatically.

In order to solve these problems, it is the flywheel, the disconnection sensor is set again, and the lever is adjusted. In order to make the silk thread consistent, each part of the silk reeling machine has additional sensors to monitor data including air temperature, humidity, wheel speed, water temperature, water level height, etc., and calculate the estimated length of the silk sheath, the tension of the silk reeling, etc.

When the whole semi-automatic silk reeling machine can run smoothly, it has been changed by someone to the point that it can't see the original appearance. Even no one knows how different this is from Earth's version of an automated silk reeler. Because this is completely a layman, a headache doctor, foot pain, blind tinkering, and a whole thing.

When the silk reeling machine finally worked properly, Lin tried to enchant it in the process of reeling. In the first stage, I don't think about adding too much magic to the sub, but my most basic requirement, which is the protective magic that can travel between dimensions and resist alien energy.

If you can't do even the most basic enchantment, and all the cocoons formed by the larvae of the moth seeds, then you'll have to find other ways to add this protective magic to your equipment.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and there were still some moth species whose silk threads passed the first stage of testing. Of course, there are no exceptions in it, and they are all moths born with magical powers.

The next step is to test the maximum number of enchantments of each silk thread, the duration of the enchantment, and the ratio of the cost of the enchantment process to the effect of transformation. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the growth cycle of moth larvae, the difficulty of feeding, the cost, the difficulty of processing and other factors.

If you only consider the former, you can find the silk thread that is best suited for enchantment and gives the best magic effect. If the factors are considered and the latter are added, it is necessary to find the best silk thread for economic benefits.

In other words, it may not be the best effect after adding magic, but because it is the easiest to raise and can easily form an economic scale, such a moth species is the best choice. After all, to make a piece of clothing, it is not a few cocoons that can be solved, but thousands of grains.

If this dress is made, only you have to wear it, then it is okay to collect it slowly, but there are still people waiting in line at the back. If the silk threads collected by the elder for a long time are only enough for his own share, there is no need to guess and know that the ending is by no means a happy picture.

Therefore, how to achieve a suitable balance between economic benefits and magical effects is a great test of wisdom.
