111. Human refining

The fog was shrouded and the water was rippling.

Gu Bei leaned on the edge of the bluestone pond and studied the feasibility of the plan with Chu Zihang.

Honculus refers to the artificial life created by European alchemists during the Renaissance, and also refers to the work of creating life itself. @*~~

This concept first appeared in the third century A.D. in the work The Vision of Zosimus

In the dream, Zosimos meets a priest who becomes "the opposite of himself, an anthroparion."

In Greek, the word "humanoid" is similar to "Homonculus", both referring to a tiny "human".

This theory was later compiled by Paracelsus (full name Phillips Orioles, De Ofrast Bombast, Von Hohenheim), who eventually proposed the concept of Homonculus and described the method of creating Homonculus in his book On the Nature of Things.

The flask is filled with human genetic sequences (which are well understood), various herbs, and horse manure, and is sealed to keep warm by the fermentation of horse manure.

After forty days, a transparent human-shaped object appears in the flask, but since it is not yet fleshy, it needs to be cultured with the blood of a living human and kept at the temperature of the horse's womb for forty weeks.

During this period, fresh blood must be added every day, and if it is taken out of the flask, or if the supply of fresh blood is stopped, it will die instantly.

The life that has been completed through these works is basically the same as that of a human child, but the body is much smaller than that of a human, which is called Homonculus, the little man in the bottle.

Legend has it that Homon Culus possessed all sorts of knowledge since he was born.

"But I don't know much about alchemy, brother."

Gu Bei's whole person was immersed in the pool water, leaving only one head still leaning on the edge of the pool, and his face was covered with a warm towel: "Instead of telling me about these things, you should tell me about the difference between the genetic sequence of the half-breed and the human gene sequence, or if there are any specific cases of making humans and half-breeds, so that I can be more confident when I make the flesh in the future." ”

"I was about to say this."

Even if Chu Zihang maintained a sitting posture in the pool, he was like an old monk meditating under the waterfall, firm and unwavering.

"In fact, I went through the books in the in-house library of the preparatory school."

Naturally, Kassel's internal collection of books can't be put together with the library of Peking University, and if the dragon clan Mixin and the secret party are found out by ordinary people in the past, then the matter will be a big deal, so Kassel's books are stored in a separate secret library.

Chu Zihang recalled the records he had seen: "According to the "Development of Alchemy", Paracelsus, who proposed alchemical life, was himself a hybrid with a very high bloodline, and he tried to artificially create a hybrid or even a pure-blooded dragon in his research, and was finally secretly executed by the secret party on charges of conducting taboo research and endangering human beings and mixed-race society. ”

"Tsk, that's miserable." Gu Bei was speechless.

"This is nothing, even if it is conducive to the development of science, but the study of the human body is an unforgivable sin in any era except in modern times, and even Andreas Vesalius, the father of modern anatomy, can only risk hanging to steal corpses when he researches."

Gu Bei admired: "Dedication to science, worthy of respect, what kind of Lexus is also a half-breed?" ”

Chu Zihang shook his head: "No, he's just an ordinary person." ”

Gu Bei became interested: "What about later?" ”

"Later, Andreas Vesalius was charged with capital by the Inquisition, and the king's intervention spared a dead end and instead made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to cleanse him of his sins, but on the way back, the ship that Vesalius called was in distress and tragically killed."

"Hey, this way of dying is not normal from any angle."

"That's right, the truth is that the Inquisition and the Secret Party teamed up to shipwreck Vesalius' ship with words."

Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, then lifted the towel on his face and glared at Chu Zihang: "No, wait a minute, why does the secret party still care about ordinary people's affairs?" ”

Chu Zihang seems to be an old monk: "In the record, Vesalius studied through dissection.

research, discovered the existence of a mixed-race society, and touched on the existence of the secret party at that time. ”

"We've done what these two guys have done, so if you say that, aren't we going to be wanted by the secret party to the ends of the earth?"

Chu Zihang is as steady as an old dog: "It's no problem if you don't find out." ”

Gu Bei collapsed back again: "Indeed." ”

Chu Zihang continued to state the information: "The Development of Alchemy records that after the death of Paracelsus, there were many people who tried according to the methods he left behind, including humans and half-bloods, but everyone secretly hid and tried, and no one tried to make pure-blooded dragons. ”

Gu Bei understood: "After all, not everyone is not afraid of death, and it is basically impossible to succeed." ”

Because of the relationship between Old Tang and Norton, Gu Bei is probably the most knowledgeable player in the world about the body structure of dragons, and if he wants to make a pure-blooded dragon with crude alchemy, let alone a dragon king, even if it is an inferior breed of three generations, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

Chu Zihang shook his head and denied Gu Bei's understanding: "No, that's not the main reason, the bigger reason is because they can't find raw materials." ”

Raw materials......

Gu Bei's face was a little strange. Error-free updates @

The first step in the production method of Homon Culus is to put the genetic sequence of a human being (the same as the one that shoots on the wall every day) and various herbs in the flask......

Good guys, is that the main reason for restricting you?

It's rude, it's not that senior old BTs don't dare to play like this.

Gu Bei immediately paid high respect to the sages of alchemy.

"But all the follow-up attempts failed, and no one succeeded in creating Homonculus except Paracelsus himself."

Gu Bei frowned: "Then what do you mean, what is this Paramela successful?" He artificially created a hybrid? Or the Dragon King? ”

"No, this matter has never been recorded, and the history of the Secret Party only mentions that they did not find any tangible results in Paracelsus' residence, so it is widely believed in the alchemical community that he failed, but the Secret Party has never positively stated whether this research was a success or a failure."

"However, in other documents, after the secret party executed Paracelsus, they found clothing and household items that did not fit the human body at all in Paracelsus's residence, and these things all showed signs of use, so it is speculated that Paracelsus had a high probability of success."

Gu Bei asked, "...... the villain in the bottle?"

Chu Zihang shook his head: "I don't know, so far this is an unsolved mystery in the secret party." ”

Gu Bei twitched the corner of his mouth: "The story is good, but there is no difference between saying it and not saying it." ”

"No, there's still a difference."

Chu Zihang didn't wear beautiful pupils, and the eternal golden pupils were reflected in the pool, burning quietly on the water surface.

"Not to mention the problem of Homonculus's innate knowledge, at least this record proves that half-breed life can be artificially created, and with your experience in making ordinary humans, our plan is absolutely feasible."

"It's really feasible, what alchemy can do can't be done with both hands, and if you can't do it, it can only be that the method is wrong or the ability is insufficient, and it's definitely not a problem with both hands."

Gu Bei did not refute: "The theory is feasible, and there are practical cases, if we conduct research for a period of time, then this plan does have a great probability of success, but senior brother, our problem is never in implementation." ”

"Make a plan, implement actions, and prevent being discovered by the secret party, these are not problems, our biggest problem is, how to make Xia Mi, your little girlfriend, and make that dragon king agree to your ridiculous plan, after all, with only the two of us, it is absolutely impossible to defeat a dragon king without a sneak attack, the only way is to play the emotional card, let her voluntarily give up the identity of the dragon king, like Liang Zhu, even if she becomes a butterfly, she has to live and live together."

Gu Bei didn't know that he had misjudged Xia Mi's strength, and he thought that all dragon kings were a Norton and a virtue.

Although Xia Mi controls the power of the earth and the mountains, he is a parallel import, in popular terms, Xia Mi, the dragon king, is not the right goods, and the silver-like wax head gun is too strong than the secondary species of Changbai Mountain, and it is not too strong.

Stand up from the pool water.

Come, Gu Bei twisted his neck and looked at Chu Zihang: "To be honest, if I were the Dragon King, I would never agree to this kind of proposal, of course, it is not ruled out that Xia Mi is a dead brain like you, senior brother, then she will be planted on you in this life." ”

"I'll figure it out over there."

Gu Bei withdrew the enchantment, walked towards Old Tang with a towel, and muttered in his mouth: "But if you can kill the dragon king by falling in love, then this world is really ridiculous, Kassel doesn't have to bother to cultivate any dragon slaying warriors, just recruit beautiful men to change careers to the entertainment industry, and when the time comes, just get a dragon slaying trainee, perform a wave of singing and dancing rap, and directly harvest a lot of half-breeds and baby female dragons, and then the world ......is peaceful."

Gu Bei came to Lao Tang's side and pushed him with his foot: "Let's go, go back to the shop." ”

Old Tang leaned against the pool, motionless, as if he was dead. @*~~

"I'm blanching!?"

Gu Bei stretched out his hand and gave Lao Tang two slaps, and Chu Zihang also came over: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm dizzy."

"Isn't he a dragon king?"

"Only the body belongs to the dragon king."

Gu Bei pinched the spell, and Old Tang's body shook for a while, and then suddenly opened his eyes, and his red golden vertical pupils were exposed to the air.

"What do you call me?"

"Where's Old Don?"

"I'm still asleep."

"Old Tang" showed a trace of helplessness on his face, the dignified King of Bronze and Fire actually soaked in the hot spring and was stunned, this kind of thing is estimated to be laughed off by several other kings.

Old Tang is still asleep, so it is naturally not Old Tang who is in control of his body now, but the main Norton.

"Then you should substitute for the shift first, I don't want to carry him back to the hotel."

Norton nodded.

Chu Zihang looked at it curiously, it was not that he had never seen Old Tang, but it was the first time he had seen Old Tang in Norton form?

Norton sensed Chu Zihang's gaze and glanced at it casually.

Chu Zihang suddenly felt as if he was facing a great enemy, and in an instant, he was like falling into an ice cave, and even his golden pupils burned brighter.

Gu Bei slapped Norton on the skull: "Your sister is still in the female soup next door, if you don't worry about her eating you after she comes, you can waste as much as you want." ”

Norton scratched his hair and said to himself, "Just JΓΆrmungard?"

If she does come running, I will definitely join forces with her first, and I may not know who will eat whom.

But just think about it, although the spirit man has changed from Gu Bei to Lao Tang, Gu Bei still has Norton's spirit contract in his hand, and he can forcibly take over control at any time.

"Also, collect the bloodline, don't let people see it."

"Oh."

Like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, Norton extinguished the dragon's pupils.

The three of them left the hot spring pool before and after, changed their clothes and rested in the entertainment area in the front hall.

Gu Bei found that there was a game machine, and he played street fighter with coins, Chu Zihang stared at the endgame on the chessboard, and Norton was wandering around, looking at everything and feeling fresh.

Although he has been living in human society for a year, Norton is still curious about the current things, and always takes something to study what alchemy technology is inside.

Later, after Gu Bei popularized science to him that this is science instead of alchemy, Norton became more interested, and clamored for Lao Tang to read more science books every day, which made Lao Tang a scumbag.

However, Gu Bei did not stop it.

It's a good thing that Norton can find something of interest, at least this guy won't be like when he first woke up, three sentences are inseparable from the deity, humans, ants, destruction.

It turns out that neither a woman nor a female dragon can save time in bathing.

After Gu Bei finished his opponent with a screw head hammer, Xia Mi finally walked out of the exit of the female soup.

"Ahh

Very unladylike stretched her waist, Xia Mi looked at the three of them: "You guys are so fast." ”

No, you're too slow.

Gu Bei looked Xia Mi up and down, tank top, shorts, flat shoes, long legs, thin waist and good face, and flesh and bone in the real sense.

It's flat.

Gu Bei gave a thumbs up: "Little junior sister is okay, senior brother is blessed." ”

Natsumiyang.

Raise your head: "Of course." ”

Gu Bei shrugged his shoulders, raised his hand to turn off the machine, and went out first, Norton maintained the marginal character of Old Tang, following closely behind.

Chu Zihang said: "Let's go." ”

Natsumi stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, then followed the three of them, and she casually glanced at Norton as she got into the car...... How do you feel that this guy is a little different from before?

However, more is better than less, Xia Mi didn't want to break the last veil with Chu Zihang at this time.

The car started and drove back to the sprinkle shop where Bei and Lao Tang stayed.

Norton got out of the car first, and Gu Bei also pushed the car door: "By the way, you two won't be here tomorrow, I have some things to deal with." ”

Chu Zihang nodded, he knew that Gu Bei's purpose in coming to the capital was to help him implement the plan and enroll in the school, and there were other arrangements.

"Do you need me to leave the car for you?"

Gu Bei shook his head, his eyes flickered twice on Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, and his smile was a little strange: "Keep the car yourself, remember to deal with the matter, otherwise I won't dare to help you." ”

Chu Zihang glanced at Xia Mi, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile that barely scared people to death: "I know." _o_m ”

Xia Mi looked at the two of them, a little confused.
