Chapter 14: Dissecting the Frog
The flowers are in full bloom, the grass is fragrant, the sky is pale blue, the sun is bright, but today is a good view, walking on the way to the classroom, Frank can't help but want to write poems. Today's College Square seems to have an unusual beauty in Frank's eyes.
"Frank, are you telling the truth? Is it really an anatomy class today?" Victor asked again, the third time he had asked, on the way to the school building.
When Frank, who was just about to write a poem, heard this, his inspiration disappeared, and his interest was ruined by Victor's question.
He glanced at Victor with three points of anger and said, "Victor, I've already said it a few times, today is really an anatomy class. And since you were rated a failing grade on your last assignment, you're going to be in bad luck for this anatomy class. You'd better honestly think about how to dissect it now! Also, don't ask me. ”
Frank said this, sighed, and shook his head. With great enthusiasm, he pondered.
Passing through the College Square, Victor and Frank had arrived, and many students had already gathered under the first alchemy building. If the Sixth Teaching Building of Elemental Magic is the temple of magic, then the First Teaching Building of Alchemy is the temple of alchemy. Reborn into this world, it was the first time that Victor had been here. This snow-white marble building, thick and delicate marble like a towering giant overlooking the earth, seven floors with exquisite carved railings, evergreen ivy around the outside of the teaching building intertwined a perfect picture of nature and art.
Under the teaching building, there is a statue, the exquisite statue is full of gentleness and elegance, like a god, this is the statue of the god-level alchemist Master Yu Zhi, he is the most powerful alchemist in Tallenmere County, and the pride of the whole Orlando. Three hundred years ago, Master Yu Zhi graduated from here, Master Yu Zhi was the first person in biological characteristics, if it weren't for this, Orlando College would not have attached so much importance to biological characteristics, you know, only this course was taught by Vice Dean Mondo himself in the entire dozen or so courses in alchemy.
When the two entered the classroom, found their seats, and put down their textbooks, the class bell rang, and Victor was still asking about it before class, but when the class bell rang, he could only wait patiently until the end of class.
"Ding, ding, ding. The bell rang, and outside the door, a figure entered, it was Dean Mondo.
He wears a white coat with pins tied and a mask on his chest. Except for the important anatomy lessons, he never dressed like this, and Dean Mondo wore this dress, indicating that the lesson was about important content.
"Now that class begins, please turn to page 18. On the podium, Dean Mondo cleared his throat and spoke in a loud voice.
The sound of flipping books suddenly sounded, and only the sound of breathing was left in the classroom. Today is an anatomy class, and everyone doesn't dare to let Dean Mondo catch it. As a result, there was not a single voice in the classroom that spoke.
Seeing that everyone was as honest as a baby, Dean Mondo also nodded slightly, what he paid most attention to was the teaching order, and he was very satisfied with everyone's performance today.
"Master Bixia once proposed that a differentiated part or organ of the body is composed of several different tissues, such as hard bone tissue, muscle tissue, nerve tissue, mucus tissue, connective tissue, epithelial tissue, bone tissue, and so on. Today we will learn about the skillful dissection of frog creatures and the role of 21 tissues in alchemical potions. Dean Mondo read a sentence from the textbook, this is what is learned today in the textbook of the advanced course of alchemy, dissecting frogs.
Sure enough, today was indeed an anatomy lesson. Victor said secretly in his heart. Although he knew that it was an anatomy class, he never wanted to believe it, he never thought that alchemy would have to learn anatomy.
"Master Bixia is a god-level alchemist, and the concept of the 21 organizations he proposed has influenced entire generations, and you all have to learn it today. Dean Mondo had been preparing for this class for a few days, and he was ready to watch the crowd's "performance".
"Are there any students who take the initiative to come to the dissection, there are four dissecting tables today. Dean Mondo walked back to the podium, picked up the scalpel, and raised it.
It had only been three minutes since the class, and no one expected that it would be the turn of the dissection so soon, and everyone shrank their heads. Dissection is different from cooking, there are strict standards for dissection here, who would have trouble going to find trouble! The atmosphere in the classroom became tense.
A minute passed, and the classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.
"Teacher Mondo, I'm willing to come up and dissect. Victor volunteered, and he got up from his seat.
Frank and the rest of the brothers were stunned, and even the students of the aristocratic camp were stunned, they didn't expect that Vidor Corleone, who was most afraid of anatomy classes in the past, would take the initiative to ask for dissection.
"Victor signed up, and it's good. There are still two slots, and who else of you are going to come up and dissect. Seeing that Victor took the initiative to ask, Dean Mondo smiled slightly, on weekdays, he was known for his cold face.
"In that case, then I'll name it. Vidor, Terry, Desailai. Today's anatomy class is up to you!" Hearing Dean Mondo's words, except for Victor, the other two faces turned white.
It's an alchemy classroom, but it's also like a medical school, with scalpels, lab coats, and rubber gloves.
On the podium, the three of them stood on the dissecting table, and under the light, the scalpel on the dissecting table was dazzling. Except for Vidor, the other two were already trembling slightly.
"Alright, please check the tools. The frog used for dissection is ready. The four students were asked to complete the separation of the 21 tissues as soon as possible. Dean Mondo stepped down from the podium, and with that, he stood in front of an operating table, opened it, and one by one the operating tables were opened, and the contents appeared, and there was a frog in it.
"The cartilage of the frog's throat can be used to make a potion of frog chirping, the skin of the frog can be used to make a potion to repair wounds, the frog eye can be used to make an underwater observation potion, the frog meat is also delicious, and the whole body of the frog is a treasure. Dean Mondo was holding a frog in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he lifted the frog up.
In the classroom, some students are already feeling unwell.
"In the first step, we dissect the frog skin, and pay attention to the main point: dry it first. Dean Mondo took out a piece of absorbent paper and placed it on the frog, and after a while, the frog's skin was dry.
"When you throw the frog into the water, the epithelium will start to fall off, which is the second step. As he spoke, Master Mondo waved his hand and removed the frog's skin.
"Then there are the eyes, then the cartilage, the muscles, the internal organs, and the bones. After saying this, Dean Mondo began to slowly move the knife step by step.
Normally, the dissection is done by the students, and Mondo is only on the side to guide, but today he deliberately ordered only three people in order to make a good demonstration, and he left a dissection table for himself.
Ten minutes later, Dean Mondo finished dissecting, raised the scalpel, and smiled as he looked at the crowd. On weekdays, it takes him fifteen minutes to isolate 12 tissues, but today he was ready to meet the enthusiastic applause of the students.
There was silence, and the situation imagined by Dean Mondo did not happen at all, not even a single applause. The students didn't pay any attention to Mondo, they were all watching Victor's dissection. No one in this world eats frogs, so no one knows the correct way to dissect them, and Victor's favorite thing on earth is the frog on the tip of his tongue, and his dissection is not a little faster than that of Dean Mondo.
"Where the hands touch, where the shoulders lean, where the feet walk, where the knees kick, the sound of the sword, all of which are alto. The dance of the mulberry forest is the meeting of the head of the Chinese scriptures. This is the article "Zhuangzi Inner Chapter" in the ancient Chinese country, which talks about the solution of cattle in Ku Ding. Victor's anatomy was no less than that of Cudin.
Art comes from life, eat too much frog meat, will naturally be dissected, on the table of Victor, the frog skin, frog eyes, internal organs, and bones are all subdivided, compared to Dean Mondo is no worse than the dean.
On the one hand, everyone was amazed by Victor's superb dissection skills, and on the other hand, they were surprised by Victor's speed. Dean Mondo prepared three frogs for each of them, and these three frogs did not need to be dissected in full, and Victor was almost complete with the third one without knowing it, which was more than three times faster than Dean Mondo.
"It's done. ”
The three frogs were separated into place, and Victor put down the scalpel and cleaned up the operating table.
Hearing this, Dean Mondo glanced at the Vido operating table, and at first glance, he was really stunned, and he cursed a few monsters in his heart. His old face was red, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone was afraid of him, there would have been laughter in the classroom at this moment.
"Uh-huh!" With some embarrassment, Dean Mondo walked towards Vidor's operating table.
"That's the perfect anatomy of 21 types of tissue. According to Dean Mondo's character, he usually belittles first, worried that the students are too proud, and he rarely praises him on weekdays, but today he really can't belittle Vido.
"Victor is doing a good job, you all come forward! We not only need to know the results, but also the learning process, Victor will dissect another one!" Dean Mondo took a frog from the operating table of the students beside Victor, and in an open mouth, he had already "pulled everyone onto the boat".
He was eager to see Victor's dissection, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he made an excuse.
"Alchemy is the way to learn, and you should seek more knowledge. You have to study Victor's anatomy carefully, and the dissection also requires close observation. With that, Dean Mondo gave the frog to Victor.
Half a minute passed, and the whole classroom was lively, and everyone rushed towards Victor's operating table. Dozens of students, layer by layer, squeezed Dean Mondo to the ground, and there was no way, so Dean Mondo had to move the operating table to the middle of the classroom. Skinning, hearting, fleshing, boning, gouging, cramping, Victor swept through as if artistically, and the fourth frog was separated to perfection.
The Advanced Alchemy course is different from other courses, the general course is a lesson of one hour, and this advanced course is a twenty-minute class, because the advanced alchemy course requires everyone to discuss and communicate together. When Victor finished dissecting, the first lesson was over. The Advanced Alchemy course is divided into three lessons, each lasting twenty minutes with a twenty-minute break. After class, Dean Mondo prepared to change his clothes. Seeing Dean Mondo leave the classroom, Vidor hurried out the door after him.
After taking a few steps, Mondo realized that someone was following him, and when he turned around, he saw Victor.
"Victor, do you have something to do with me?" Dean Mondo doesn't like bad students, but he has always been kind to "geniuses".
"Dean, I have several questions for you. Victor bowed and bowed.
"As I walked, I happened to be fine now. Seeing that Vido was so polite, Dean Mondo smiled and helped him up.
What Victor wanted to ask about was the eighteen alchemy of the Holy Spirit, which was too important to him.
"Dean, I'd like to ask where is the second half of the Advanced Alchemy Course?" asked Victor with a deep breath and suppressed excitement.
Dean Mondo thought that Vidor was asking him about anatomy!
"Victor, why are you asking here? Dean Mondo asked with nine points of doubt, and another point was whether he thought Victor was "sick".
"Dean Mondo, I mainly want to know something about genetics. I want to learn more about the genetic mysteries of height, color blindness, and genetic diseases. Victor shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and replied to Mondo with a bit of amusement.
Listening to Victor's words, Dean Mondo hurriedly looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly said, "Victor, don't talk about it, go to my office to talk about these things." ”
Although Dean Mondo was curious to know where Victor had seen these things, he did not dare to talk about them in public at school. Seeing that Mondo was so cautious, Vidor also knew that this matter was very important, so he nodded and said no more. The office was not far from the classroom where they had just taken the class, and after a three-minute walk, the two of them arrived.
Entering the door, Dean Mondo carefully looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he slowly closed the door, and with a thick doubt, he asked, "Victor, where did you know about the genetic mysteries?" These things are top secret. “
Before coming, Vidor thought about how to answer, and he said, "Dean Mondo, the second half of the Advanced Course in Alchemy and the genes I heard by chance in the Alchemy Guild. ”
A few days ago, he and Igor did go to the Alchemy Guild, and they were not afraid of Mondo to investigate.
After listening to Victor's explanation, Dean Mondo didn't intend to delve into it, he took a deep breath, and he said softly: "The second half of the Advanced Alchemy Course is in the Sanctuary, and it is rumored that the second half is composed of hundreds of books. As for genes, they are top secret, and no one can see them except god-level alchemists, and in the future, you must not mention genes again, if they are known, you will be unlucky. Dean Mondo explained everything in one go. Listening to Dean Mondo's words, Vidor still thanked him, although he couldn't see the second half of this "Advanced Alchemy Course", but from Mondo's mouth, he learned one thing, that is: the sequence of three billion base pairs of the human genome has probably been found out by the Alchemy Guild. In other words, genes and genetic information have been fully mastered by the Alchemy Guild. On Earth, it took the twenty-first century to solve the genetic mystery, the result of the joint efforts of scientists around the world, and here, Victor couldn't figure out how the Alchemy Guild found these genomes. Victor was pondering, and Dean Mondo had already changed his clothes. It was almost the second class, but there was no time for Victor to think, so the two left the office and went to class. In the second and third lessons, Victor lost all his thoughts, and what he learned from Dean Mondo was too vague: Sanctuary, Victor didn't know where the Sanctuary was, and he was about to go to the Alchemy Guild after class, and he guessed that maybe the Alchemy Guild could give him some help. Victor was cranky in his mind, and he didn't know that his application form for sulfuric acid had arrived at headquarters.
