Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ship and the Sea
Buzz Buzz - Buzz -
A low humming sound echoed slightly in the air, and the silvery room was filled with the smell of ionization after the air purifier was activated.
Li Heng has changed into a white coat at the moment, and now he is more like a researcher who is really engaged in scientific research.
I'm afraid no one would have imagined that such a small remote mountain village would have such a delicate and clean laboratory.
Thanks to Li Heng's purchase of various drugs and chemicals, he is divided into multiple accounts and purchased through multiple channels, otherwise if this scene is spread, I am afraid that he will be regarded as some kind of "Frankenstein" or "Breaking Bad", and what kind of shady deeds are being done in a small village.
After dozens of seconds, the humming stopped, and Li Heng opened the chimeric lid of the centrifuge and slowly took out the test tube inside.
The test tube with a capacity of tens of milliliters is clearly divided into three different colors of liquid layer, the top layer is the transparent plasma layer, and the lower part is the blood cell layer, and the blood cell layer is a liquid layer with white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells as the main components.
"After stratification, the plasma and blood cells are stained and the results are more defined"
Li Heng stared at the test tube, and at the same time looked at the "cryopreservation warehouse" that he had renovated from the refrigerator not far away, which also displayed some white blood cell suspensions, red blood cell suspensions and some serums that he had isolated before.
These are comparable samples, and the serum can be used for other chemical experiments, and preset chemical reaction observations in vitro can be used to infer the reaction into the body.
The microscope rotated the lens, recorded the cell-level blood samples in the smear, and then saved them in the built-in memory, and Li Heng had generated hundreds of gigabytes of picture data in the past few days.
Next to this microscope, in addition to the blood smear, there is his urine, sweat, tears, saliva, lymph, gastric juice and even X-fluid to name a few...... Various bodily fluids.
It's a hard taste!
But Li Heng is now completely able to play with and check these substances produced by himself at will without feeling disgusted.
If you can't overcome even a little bit of cleanliness in the path of evolution, it's really useless.
On the contrary, he will be happy if he can find the slightest bit of useful data from it, even if he looks at the frequency of his "son" swimming in it, he can calculate it in his mind, Mi Qingzi's energy supply is the cellular respiration produced by the mitochondria of the tail and the cytoplasm of the head, and observing its movement is the "swimming rate" can reverse the cell-level energy supply efficiency in his body.
"It's about five percent stronger again"
Li Heng looked at the active little tadpole and writhed its strong tail and said to himself.
The body is strengthening step by step, and even the reproductive system is growing, although it takes a certain conversion to extrapolate his own life strength through this activity rate, but this also indirectly shows that his physical body has completely changed even at the level of reproduction.
"But...... It's not a good thing from the point of view of reproduction."
Li Heng looked at his "super babies" whose vitality far exceeded that of ordinary men, and thought calmly.
"Because these little ones are so energetic! Almost all of them are super rice aokos, and once they enter the mother's body, they are immediately recognized by the other party's immune system as an invading pathogen and killed! ”
This is the miracle or paradox of the human body, whether it is not enough vitality or too much vitality, it will lead to the result of infertility.
This is too much, the way of yin and yang lies in balance, in harmony, solitary yin is not born, solitary yang is not long, yin and yang are not compatible, can not be unified, then all things have no reason to be born.
The truth was spoken thousands of years ago.
"If that's the case......" Li Heng couldn't help frowning slightly, "As I continue to evolve, my body will continue to approach the limit of human biological physique, and it may even exceed this limit."
"At that time, my reproductive system may not be able to conceive any woman in this world, because their vitality is too weak to bear and accept, in other words, I am reproductively isolated from ordinary humans?!"
"If that's the case, can I still be called a human like that?"
According to the current biological definition, once reproductive isolation has occurred, it can be declared as a different species.
However, his current inference is limited to the natural combination of fertility methods, and his Mi Qingzi will naturally be rejected by the mother and therefore unable to conceive, but it may be possible to achieve it through an extracorporeal fusion method similar to IVF.
Unless, until one day, even his chromosomes and DNA are completely changed and he can't combine with ordinary humans, maybe at that moment he will really be out of the category of human species.
After thinking a lot, Li Heng temporarily put down the research and test tube in his hand.
This question involves a very deep level, not only in the field of life sciences, but also in ethics, the definition of human beings, and even the philosophical sense of "what is human......
For some reason, after thinking deeply about this problem, Li Heng's mood suddenly changed a little, and he no longer continued to study and explore with great interest as he did just now.
It's not that I'm slacking, but I suddenly have a trace of unclear emotion, which seems to be reluctant, and a little melancholy.
It felt like a weakened version of how he felt after the breakup.
Inadvertently, a familiar face suddenly appeared in his mind - Chen Xi, his ex-girlfriend, and the only woman he had in his life.
However, the next moment, the tide ebbed and flowed in his mind, and the waves of the sea quickly washed away the image of the face that had surfaced.
Li Heng was slightly anxious, and wanted to beckon to stay, but the hand that reached out did not raise after all, and he was stunned for a while and then put it down.
"The more things I carry in my mind, the weaker some beings that I once took seriously"
This is not that his friendship with his girlfriend has changed, if he used to be a waterhole in his heart, then his girlfriend is a big boat that occupies nearly half of his water surface, and now her weight has not changed is still a steamer, but Li Heng is already a lake, and there are other islands, boats and other scenery on this lake, relatively speaking, the original ship is no longer so conspicuous.
In the future, Li Heng may also become the sea, so compared to the entire ocean, there may not be much difference between a ship and a fallen leaf.
After adjusting the current data and sending it to "Liu Yizhen" again, he took off his white coat and left the laboratory.
Then he didn't take the stairs, and jumped directly from the second floor of his house to the first floor.
Not far away, a rural woman who was drying clothes on the roof of a building was so startled that her mouth opened to stuff an apple, and the sheets in her hand fell and were blown away by the wind.
