Chapter 1509 Annevia, Come to Black Crow Swamp to See the Treasures! (Platinum Tower Leader Adds Update 9)
"Annivea, you can't be biased when doing research. Life and death are part of life, and it's normal to cooperate with necromancers. Don't imitate those elves..."
"Teacher, I'm not..."
"You and Leon got along well before. Try to cooperate with other necromancers and at least learn something from them. For example, cloning, which is actually a wonderful life magic..."
"Teacher, I didn't..."
"In principle, cloning is used to cultivate fertilized eggs, and it is very professionally relevant. I have a hunch that this path may be possible in the future, and it won't hurt to try it."
Gretel warned his disciples earnestly - and at the same time, he also enjoyed the fun of teaching his disciples. Anivea struggled twice, finally got the word and answered quickly:
"Teacher, I'm just worried about the cost... The cloning technique costs too much. Although Black Crow Swamp values the teacher very much, after all, we can't..."
You can't use them as cash machines, teacher!
It is normal for everyone to come and go. If you ask them to help you get a cloning facility, it may not be one, but several. They are not set up for you, but for your disciples...
This favor is too big, I can't bear it!
"Ah, no problem." Gretel waved with a smile:
"Don't worry, Black Crow Swamp won't care about this - not to mention that all expenses can be settled with the Dragon Clan, even if they pay out of their own pockets, they are willing!
You, teacher, and I, the favor we have given Black Crow Swamp is not just a little or two. "
Even if you don't take into account the virus research institute in the Eagle Country and the necromancers who are making progress in the research institute, just the fact that Archmage Hines lands on Evermeet Island is enough for Black Crow Swamp to cheer. year!
That's Elf Island!
It's Elf Island!
It's the Elf Island that has always rejected them and never allowed them to go to the island!
If I hadn't worked hard to create opportunities for them and convinced the elves, how would they have had this opportunity!
Anivea instantly felt like Alexander. The teacher's favor, that's the teacher's favor. She doesn't have any benefits for Black Crow Swamp——
It’s really embarrassing for a level 9 Nature Priest to be raised by a teacher and use the teacher’s resources for research...
"Don't think too much." Grete comforted her leisurely:
"It's normal to fail several times or dozens of times when doing research. Before, Teacher You and I failed at least a thousand or eight hundred times at the research institute in Eagle Country.
As long as it succeeds in the end - don't worry, as long as it succeeds and can effectively increase the fertility rate of the Dragon Clan, we here in the Dragon Clan will have whatever we want! "
Not to mention reimbursing research expenses, even if half of the homes of dragons in need are emptied, they will still queue up to give money!
Anivea only felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavier. To be successful, you will be reimbursed only if you are successful. If you are not successful, the money will be thrown into the water...
No, you can still hear a sound if you sprinkle it into the water! The cost of a cloning technique is said to start at 10,000 gold coins——
Take ten thousand gold coins and throw them into the water one by one. From morning to dark, if the right hand is sour, switch to the left hand, if the left hand is sour, then switch to the right hand, but you may not be able to finish throwing it!
If you fail once, you will burn 10,000 gold coins. If you fail again, you will burn another 10,000 gold coins.
Not to mention, what she needs now is not a complete cloning technique, but using the components of the cloning technique to create a culture tank suitable for the development of fertilized eggs...
It requires the top mage from Black Crow Swamp, who is very knowledgeable about cloning, to personally modify the magic circle and magic device. What kind of favor is that?
That favor is far more than a single cloning technique!
I didn’t say anything, just work hard!
Only by working hard, researching hard, and making what the teacher wants as soon as possible can we repay the teacher's support!
Anivea went to work with confidence. At noon that day, the archmage led by Black Crow Swamp rushed over and brought three or four disciples to help her install and debug for three days.
With the stable environment built by the clone warehouse, the progress of the experiment has skyrocketed. At the very least, the fertilized egg has obtained a stable development environment, can survive, and begins to divide——
One point and two!
Two points four!
Four points and eight!
Eighteen points and sixteen!
Annevia held her breath, widened her eyes, and looked carefully under the microscope.
Life is really amazing. Such a tiny cell can continue to divide, divide, divide, and finally turn into a baby with arms and legs that can breathe, move, cry, and laugh...
Well, after living for three days, should I move it into the female lizard, let it continue to grow, and finally hatch out a baby lizard?
Annevia started to take the next step very nervously. One after another, the small bubbles that had divided to 16 cells moved into the female lizard's body, waiting eagerly for them to continue to grow.
However, after waiting for one day, two days, and three days, and using his mental strength to sense, no more life breath appeared in the female lizard's body...
Is he dead?
Could it be that she worked so hard to cultivate them in the alchemy device, and for this reason, she made the teacher owe a favor and asked the fertilized eggs to be retrieved from the Black Crow Swamp, and then they all died after being returned to the female lizard?
Anivea was unwilling to give in. She was afraid that her mental power was not delicate enough and her perception was not enough, so she invited all high-level nature priests to come over and take a look.
Elder Erwin shook his head, Elder Wood shook his head, and Elder Knox pondered for a long time, but still shook his head:
"I felt the breath of life you mentioned, but it was very, very, very subtle. Moreover, there was no vigorous feeling, as if it had become one with the mother's body and started to grow..."
what does this mean? Not dead, but not alive either?
If Anivea asked Grete for advice, she would probably hear Grete sigh like this:
"So the spirit of human women is really tough. They received a large dose of hormones to promote ovulation, and an egg-retrieval needle with a diameter of 0.9 to 1.6 mm and a length of 35 cm was pierced through the lower abdomen and penetrated into the ovaries to retrieve mature eggs;
After such an operation, despite such psychological pressure, when the fertilized egg is implanted in the body, the fertilized egg can still implant successfully..."
But unfortunately, she didn't ask for advice, or was too embarrassed to ask the teacher for everything, so she didn't hear the judgment "probably not implantation". Since the fertilized eggs are still inside the female lizard, that’s great!
Annevia worked hard to communicate with the female lizard, tried to send her natural breath, and tried to persuade her, "It's safe now, you can start incubating the eggs."
However, no matter how she transported her, comforted her, or comforted her, the female lizard just lay there wilting, looking like "I'll pretend to be dead if you don't let me go."
Finally, it was Ashe Yuesong who solved the mystery:
"It doesn't want to hatch eggs! Lizards have this ability. They store fertilized eggs in their bodies and keep them stagnant until they feel that the situation has improved and they can hatch baby lizards, and then let them continue to grow. From lizard eggs!”
"You..." How do you know?
"I saw it! Where I used to live, there was a nest of lizards nearby. The male lizard died not long after they mated, and it took about a year for the female lizard to lay eggs!"
"..."
To say the least, elves are powerful, well-informed, and have enough time to observe various animals and plants. Since Anivea couldn't hold the female lizard to hatch the eggs, she had to find another way:
I use the cloning alchemy device to incubate the eggs instead of the female lizard, so that’s okay! ! !
She broke the jar, took out half of the fertilized eggs, separated them one by one, and put them into the alchemy device. According to the experimental plan, each fertilized egg is set up with a different magic circle and is affected by different energies:
Increase energy supply by 1%...
Increase energy supply by 2%...
Increase energy supply by 3%...
Increase fire energy supply by 1%...
Increase water energy supply by 1%...
The experimental group, the control group, and another group were placed in the belly of the female lizard for incubation. Annevia maintained the magic circle with great concern, sensing the situation inside and praying every day:
Survive, survive, survive...
grow grow grow grow...
Even if you can't grow into a monster or acquire any extraordinary abilities, please try your best to survive...
Even if she worked hard and put all her energy into these fertilized eggs, she still couldn't stop the fertilized eggs from dying one by one.
Seeing these fertilized eggs dying, Annevia was heartbroken, so she could only use them as waste. She used these fertilized eggs for research, chromosome testing, and dissection:
Well, this small group can probably contain more than... two hundred? More than three hundred? More than four hundred cells? But the chromosomes did not undergo any changes, and no extraordinary points appeared;
This group lasted a few days longer than the previous group, and it can basically be regarded as somewhat formed. The shape of a long, curled up ball can already be seen, but there is still no extraordinary point;
This group... can see the end! The head and tail can be distinguished, but other parts are still invisible...
It's really amazing. Knowing that a cub grows from such a small fertilized egg is still different from watching it grow up little by little...
"You think it's magical now?"
The necromancer who came to debug and maintain the alchemy equipment laughed at her unceremoniously:
"The cloning technique is like this. A piece of meat is put in, and it gradually grows into a small ball, getting bigger little by little.
Watch it grow into a lizard-like ball, watch it gradually separate its head and body, watch its limbs grow, watch its tail gradually disappear... I have a picture album here. Come over when you are free, and I will give it to you. look! "
But the album is an album after all, not a physical object, let alone a living being that carries the breath of life and can be perceived with mental power.
Annevia felt that if she could completely observe the incubation process of a fertilized egg, she might be able to integrate what she had learned before and advance immediately!
