Chapter 100 Chapter 7 The Doctrine of the Cell

"How did you know about me?" Leo was a little surprised. He knew that because of those discoveries, he was well-known in some magical circles, but he would never have imagined that in the Holy Ureon Kingdom, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Kalente Empire, a reclusive golden dragon actually knew about it.

It felt like traveling to a foreign country, only to suddenly see his portrait hanging on the side of the street, and even made him feel a little ridiculous.

Even Vianna looked incredulous, unable to accept for a moment that Clark had heard of Leo.

Clark shook his head and said, "First of all, I have to make sure that you are really Leo Minechel, otherwise I will refuse to answer this question." ”

"Well, but how can I prove that I am me?, and besides, who would be boring enough to impersonate me?" Leoton had a headache, and the other party was not giving an interesting proposition.

"It's simple. Clark looked at Leo and somewhere he found a small mirror, "You just have to face this mirror and ask questions, and that's it." ”

Then he held the mirror up in front of him, and continued in a relaxed tone: "Like this, magic mirror, magic mirror, am I the most handsome creature in the world?"

After a brief silence, a gentle baritone voice suddenly came from the mirror: "I'm sorry, but you're not in terms of the current known range and universal aesthetics. ”

"Alas, abominable alchemy soul, wouldn't you be a little more tactful?" Clark shook his head and tossed the mirror to Leo.

Leo was intrigued by this thing, and guessed that it was probably some kind of creation of Violet Castle, but now was not the best time to ask, so he did the same, and asked in the mirror, "Am I Leo Minehir?"

This time the mirror did not pause in the slightest, and immediately replied, "I'm sorry, but you don't have the right to ask me any questions. ”

Receiving such an answer, Leo had no choice but to look at Clark innocently. I don't blame myself for this.

Clark took the mirror back with a blank face and asked, "I have the right to ask you questions, listen, is he Leo Minehir?"

"There is a fee for this question. The mirror replied.

Just when Leo thought that Clark would accept the pain, he didn't expect him to shake his head without hesitation and said, "Forget it, I won't ask." ”

"What the hell do you mean?" Vianna felt like her mind couldn't keep up with Clark's train of thought.

"It's nothing, I'm already sure he's Leo Minahir, so there's no need to ask. Clark replied, "He didn't have the slightest nervousness when he faced the magic mirror. The pronunciation of your name is also very natural and fluent, which is already very illustrative. Some questions don't really need to be asked by others, as long as you observe carefully, you can get the answer. ”

"Very reasonable. Leo nodded, "So can you answer my question now?"

"Absolutely. Clark smiled contentedly and said, "We regularly collect books and periodicals of all kinds, magic, art, history, everything. And "Magic Light" is one of the most important periodicals. You know, we have the highest level of interest for this journal of Frontiers of Magic. If I'm not mistaken. Your name should appear on it more than once. ”

After a pause, he continued: "And differential geometry is really an ingenious mathematical tool, which has allowed several scholars I know to solve several mathematical problems that I could not solve before. They all have quite high opinions about you. As for the hormone theory, it has brought unprecedented shock and development prospects to the Necronomicon School. ”

Of course, Vianna didn't know what differential geometry was, and she didn't know what hormones were, but she could feel it. Clarke's special attitude and concern for Leo.

"Are you so powerful?" she asked Leo in a low voice, her heart beating faster.

"It's okay. Leo smiled, "I'm lucky." ”

"Luck? a lot of the time. We do need some luck. Clark smiled as well, "Young human, if you're interested, I can provide a letter of recommendation after reaching the intermediate level." Violet Castle needs someone with potential like you. ”

"It's my pleasure. Leo replied respectfully, then added, "But at the moment, my knowledge of your organization is limited to names. I think that the best decision will only be made after I have a general understanding. After all, if you are like-minded, you can go down the road. ”

"Yes, you're right, I like your prudence, that's what a scholar should be. Clark didn't insist, "Now let's get back to the conversation, I'm looking forward to the knowledge you can bring out, and if it meets my expectations, maybe I can give you some gifts in return." ”

As soon as she mentioned her own affairs, Vianna suddenly became nervous again, and said expectantly, "Leo, you really ......"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest. Leo smiled warmly.

He's certainly not talking big, but there are really important results that can impress Clark. It's just that it was the theoretical basis he prepared to help Lotus invent antibiotics, but he didn't expect it to be used here.

After a moment's thought, Leo said, "Mr. Clark, but if I share my knowledge with you and you are not satisfied, then I will not have any guarantees. ”

"Haha, when you say that, I'm even more interested in what you know. Clark laughed, "Of course you don't have to tell me everything, you only need to tell me the general direction involved, and then I'll judge its value and decide whether to make the next transaction." As for credibility, I think my race should be a good proof of that. ”

Leo knew that the golden dragon had always been a model of good character, and that there was no mention of them deceiving other creatures in any account, so he quickly accepted it.

"In that case, then I don't have a problem. What I did was what I discovered about the fundamental makeup of living organisms. ”

"The fundamental composition of living organisms? Clark blinked, "I'm skeptical, but given your reputation, please be specific." ”

Leo is well aware that researchers in this world tend to be more inclined to study theories, and lack exploration of the micro level. This is mainly because, the vast majority of people believe: The world was created by the creator god, and all of them developed according to the established rules, and what they had to do was to explore and understand these rules and master the methods of application.

Before the advent of Dalaran, during the reign of the Church of the Gods, the study of living beings, especially the study of the human body, was a blasphemy against God, and it was a heinous thing. This also leads zhì. The development of biology is lagging behind, and even the mysteries of the Necromancy School are poorly understood.

"This organism refers to the flesh and blood creatures of the normal main material plane, including animals, plants, etc., but excluding undead creatures and elemental creatures. ”

"Actually, I made this discovery because I was helping my friend concoct a magic potion that could cure diseases. ”

"You also know that in the classical view, illness arises from the invasion of negative energy. However, I have also found that some people who are sick still cannot recover even after receiving positive energy treatment. This casts doubt on my classical school view. ”

Clark nodded, "This is indeed the case. Sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted you, please go ahead. ”

"It doesn't matter. Leo took a sip from his teacup and continued, "So I started to guess." Could it be something that we can't see, that invades the organism and causes the disease? I invented an alchemy instrument that allowed me to see very small things. ”

"How does it compare to microvision?" asked Clarke, who couldn't hold back again, curiously.

Leo immediately replied, "The magnification effect is about ten times that of microvision." ”

Hearing him say this, Clark's eyes widened, "Unbelievable! Can you show me that kind of instrument?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring it with me, if you're interested, I can bring it for you to see later. Leo said with a smile. In order to organize the cell theory, he deliberately made a relatively rudimentary microscope, but it was enough to observe cells.

Compared to the previous life, it was not until the 19th century, with the development of industrial production, that the resolution of microscopy was improved to 1 micron by overcoming the shortcomings of lens blur and chromatic aberration. And in this world, due to the existence of magic, Leo easily made two high-quality converging lenses. Combined with microopia, the imaging effect is quite ideal.

"Oh, what a pity. Clark had some regrets.

Leo continued: "In the process of observing biological samples with this instrument, I discovered that all living organisms are made up of a very small type of tissue, which I call a cell. ”

"Cells?" Clark said stiffly, confused, "I don't remember the lingua franca having that word." ”

Leo smiled: "Yes, it is true. It's a word I coined myself, inspired by eggs. ”

"What's the matter with eggs?" Clark became more and more curious.

"Because an egg is a cell, of course, we still can't see its internal structure without my instruments. ”

After half an hour, Leo finally explained the theory of the cell theory to Clarke.

Because of his advanced knowledge, Leo did not take the detour of the scholars of his previous life, he skipped the most easily observed plant cell wall, and directly began the study of the cell as a whole.

At present, the main theories he has given are: the cell is the structural unit of a qiē organism, the cell is the physiological unit of a qiē organism, and the cell is divided from the original living cell.

Of course, in order to make his research appear to be in line with the current state of the art, showing a step-by-step mode of exploration, Leo did not mention any knowledge about the internal structure of cells such as mitochondria and nucleus.

But even so, this is still a body of knowledge that Clark has never heard of.

He frowned and said: "I have to admit that these are very novel theories, and it is difficult for me to give specific value to this achievement, because it almost involves the origin of the species. But only if it needs to be proven correct. Of course, judging by what you say so far, I believe it is correct. ”

"So, where exactly is your research going, aside from guessing and analysis?"

Leo replied without hesitation: "I have observed the complete internal structure of the cell, as well as the process of cell division, oh yes, I have this image with me, I don't know if you are interested......"

"Get it out!" Clark said urgently

..................

After a few minutes, Clark looked away from the image crystal with heavy breathing, and said solemnly, "I did see it, that ...... The plant cell split into two ...... It's incredible!"

Leo could see that Clark had accepted the cell theory, so he asked, "Do you think this is of equal value in exchanging knowledge about Dragon Crystal?"

"No, not quite!" replied Clark in a loud voice.

"Huh?" Leo and Vianna were stunned.

"You misunderstood, I mean, just seeing this image is actually enough to exchange knowledge about Dragon Crystal. Clark hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just wondering, when will you be able to complete this theory?" I'd love to hear what the other scholars have to say about it." ”

"Whew!" Vianna let out a long breath and stole a glance at Ao Ou, whose beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, there was adoration, joy, and more of a simple admiration similar to that of a girl.

Leo didn't notice it, thought for a while, and said: "I can't say this well, after all, there are still too many unknowns inside the cell that I need to study slowly, even if it is a qiē shun lì, I think it will take at least half a year." ”

Clark nodded, and then asked, "What are you going to do with it then?"

"I guess it's for Magic Light. Leo replied that it was the only channel he knew.

"Young man, really a young man. Clark sighed suddenly.

Leo wondered, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"I bet that if your cell theory is confirmed, it will definitely become one of the most important academic achievements of this year and even in recent years. Clarke's face flushed at the new knowledge.

"It's so meaningful, and I bet that if we understand cells, we will understand how living organisms work, which will solve countless age-old problems. This discovery, perhaps, is more important than your differential geometry!"

After a pause, Clark suddenly looked at Leo with burning eyes: "But have you ever thought about what you can get if you deliver it to Magic Light?" (to be continued......)
