Chapter Ninety-Eight: Laboratory Rats
"Master, the blackwater crocodile you asked for has been brought. ”
A group of men walked in with three tightly tied crocodiles, and the mud on the crocodiles' bodies slipped and fell on the stone slabs on the ground.
Jiayi asked them to put the crocodile aside, and the crocodile seemed to be loosened as soon as it was caught, and the mud on its body emitted a foul smell. Kaichi couldn't help but wave his hand and summon a water mass to clean all the mud from the surface of the crocodile's body, and by the way, the mud on the stone floor.
The team leader immediately apologized nervously: "I'm sorry Master, I soiled your shop." ”
Kaichi checked the black water crocodile and said, "It's okay, I know you're short on time right now." This is the healing potion promised to you, take it, and say hello to Isya on my behalf. ”
The Far Wanderer Escort has been on a heavy mission lately, and helping Jiayi collect materials is also taking out manpower from his busy schedule, and they have to return to the station to participate in other missions immediately after they send the Black Water Crocodile, and the time is very tight.
Cleaning up the monsters around the station is a little more complicated than expected, in addition to the monsters, they are also attacked by the cultists of the evil gods, and if it weren't for the timely intervention of the city lord, the adventurers who accepted the mission would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Even so, the progress of the task was greatly delayed, and in a hurry, no one was idle for a moment.
"Thank you, Master. After taking half a dozen healing potions on the table, the team leader immediately saluted Jiayi, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left, rushing back to the station.
Queenie heard the movement and came to the front hall from behind, where she saw the backs of several people who had left in a hurry, as well as several black water crocodiles on the ground who were struggling.
"These are the blackwater crocodiles you said could withstand radiation? Queenie walked over to the black water crocodile and squatted down and touched the black water crocodile, the black water crocodile twisted uneasily, and with a swing of his tail, he almost pulled on Queenie.
Queenie twitched the head of the black water crocodile in dissatisfaction, stood up and said, "This black water crocodile is so small. ”
You can also see a lot of crocodiles at the mouth of the Leizhou River, even if these crocodiles are not magical beasts, they are not small, crocodiles more than three meters long are very common, and the black water crocodiles are much smaller in comparison. The black water crocodiles in front of you are only 27 inches in length at most, and even if they are specially caught, they are too small.
Maybe there's too little food in the underworld.
"Yes, these are the black water crocodiles, the silt swamp is very radiant, but these black water crocodiles are alive and well, all because their skins can withstand the radiation. ”
Kaichi is very interested in the ability of black water crocodiles to resist radiation, and this experiment is just used to make a comparison, by the way, to test what is the resistance limit of these black water crocodiles to radiation.
Tying the Black Water Crocodile to the mage's touch and floating behind him, ready to transfer to the laboratory in the back room, he casually asked, "What does the council say, is there any control over the current radiation commodity?"
While they were conducting experiments, the harm to radioactivity was also notified to the council through the copper crystal communication, but the copper crystal communication transmitted the information relatively briefly, and it was not known if the council really listened.
Queenie walked behind Kaichi and couldn't see her expression: "No, the council just said that it would be considered, and they have commissioned an experiment to verify whether the radioactive hazards you said are true." Until there is a result, they will certainly not easily ban radioactive products. ”
There are a lot of mages standing behind Moshacher's radioactive goods, otherwise where would there be so many radioactive materials to make radioactive goods, just relying on a few vague words from Jia, he wants to ban the sale of these goods, and it will be almost the same when he becomes a legend.
Kaichi was helpless, even if he returned to Moshacher now, it would be impossible to convince the parliament to ban the misuse of radioactive elements without the results of the experiment, and only hoped that with his reminder, he could cool down the current hot radioactive products.
"We're almost all over the Crypt Mole that we did the first experiment, do you want to see it?"
Jia Yi gathered his thoughts and asked, "How's the situation?"
The two of them went to the door of a sealed room, put on long-sleeved gloves that reached to their armpits, and released a radiation shield to themselves before entering. Influenced by Kaichi, Queenie is no longer very aggressive when she comes into contact with radioactive elements. Every time she comes into contact with radioactive elements, she always has a warning from Kaichi in her heart, and even her movements will unconsciously become much softer.
Coming to the innermost part of the room, in the cage were four fat moos, very fat, like a small pig, with a palm-long length and two thick front teeth protruding from the front lip, but now they didn't seem to be very energetic.
These are radium-irradiated moles, and all uranium ore contains radium, which is newly extracted by Jiayi from the silt swamp.
Queenie brushed the hair from the back of one of the moles with her fingers, revealing a festering piece of skin: "This is the result of attaching radium to the mole squirrels, and the mole squirrels' hair falls out, the skin is red, and the epidermis is necrotic and crusted, which at least proves that radium is not completely harmless." ”
She frowned as she spoke, thinking of what Mosacher had heard about radium-containing cosmetics, and if she used this kind of cosmetics, would the user also cause the skin to peel off in this way?
These moles have been in close contact with radium for several days, and it seems that there is a real problem with them, and they have no energy at all.
Jia Yi picked up one and examined it carefully: "It looks really too weak." ”
He reached out and touched the mole squirrel, and felt a string of nodules in the squirrel's throat, and carefully examined it with a spell to confirm that it was a tumor.
Reaching out for a vertigo technique to knock the mole stun, he pushed the skin of the mole squirrel's throat away, revealing the thyroid gland, which was abnormally swollen and had several raised pimples.
"Is this sick?" Seeing such an abnormal thyroid gland, Queenie understood why Kaichi suddenly made a move on the mole squirrel.
Jiayi opened another airtight cage, this cage has a layer of radiation shield on the outside, protecting the moles inside from being disturbed by the moles, although the moles in this are also a little sluggish because of the long-term captivity, but the mental state is much better. Careful examination revealed no illness.
Comparing the two sides, needless to say, Queenie immediately understood the difference, and said with a little fear: "I didn't expect that a high dose of radium would have such a big impact on the mole rat, it would really make it sick." Luckily, I didn't use the radioactive products I bought. ”
The evidence of only the mole rats testifying is still a little thin, and the experiments are too rudimentary, but it is enough to prove that radium is not as safe as imagined. They thought that the radiated energy could replenish people, but they didn't know that he was actually stabbing the human body with spears.
"Seeing that these tumors do not, if the tumor continues to grow, there is no need to cause other symptoms, just this volume can compress the respiratory tract and suffocate the mouse. And the harm of this tumor is by no means limited to this. ”
The most dangerous thing about the tumor is its spread, but he can't predict this conclusion directly, and can only hint at it slightly.
Queenie looked at the tumor and felt a little nauseous, and worried about her teacher: "Then the teacher, they are always in contact with radium and do not do very strict protection, will there be any harm?"
Kaichi shook his head: "With the spiritual sense of a legendary mage, if these natural radioactive elements are really dangerous, they will definitely sense them. Mages have been infected with magical elements for a long time, and their resistance to radiation is much higher than that of ordinary people. ”
He sometimes even wondered if the magical element was also a special kind of radiation. For mages, if they are only exposed to radioactive elements outside the body, the short-term impact will not be particularly noticeable. The mage may not be as physically strong as the knight, but it is much more resistant to ailments.
"Have you ever wondered where the energy comes from when the elements decay, and can the decay of the elements always exist?
Kaichi's sudden question made Queenie fall silent, she was just a mage who studied ancient magic texts, and she really didn't have much research on this.
