Chapter 1516 The Mage From the Thunder Horn, with Lightning, Multiplied Greatly! !
Not to mention that Annievia couldn't do it, nor could Grete directly shock the female emerald dragon.
He leaned forward, wanting to say a few words for his disciple. As soon as her lips opened, Anivea had already stood up and bowed respectfully to the opposite side:
"Of course we won't do it right away. Regarding artificial insemination surgery, we have a complete set of research steps and research plans, and we will move forward step by step. We will only do it until we confirm that it is necessary."
Grete leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, his whole body relaxing. He glanced at Anivea with a smile, nodded to Emerald Dragon Tana, and made a gesture to "listen to her":
Well, that's great. Over the years since he left, Annevia has grown into an independent researcher and team leader.
Yes, he is already at level 10. He has independently presided over a project as big as streptomycin. He has long been able to take charge of his own business. She is no longer the little girl who leads a family of wild boars to his door and follows him to wash test tubes and cook beef paste... …
"First of all, we need to confirm to what extent the female dragon's follicles have developed before the released eggs are mature enough to combine with sperm and develop into strong enough fertilized eggs." Anivea was still talking:
"So far, we have conducted experiments on various lizards, pseudodragons, and two sub-dragon beasts, but there is no data on dragons.
For this reason, I hope to find at least some young and adult dragon beasts and conduct research on them. Of course, in view of the differences between the various branches of the dragon family, the dragon beast with the emerald dragon is the best. "
"this……"
Tana hesitated. The Dragon Clan’s attitude towards Team Gretel has always been: if you want Warcraft, you can give them as much as you want;
If you want dependents, you can send as many as you want. The dependents can even bring their own dry food;
If you want a dragon beast, this is very stingy. So far, there are only four dragon beasts participating in the research, and they can only do a very small amount of non-invasive research under the supervision of the dragon clan.
Such as cutting open the belly, dissecting the ovary and then curing it; such as using vines to extend into the body and trying to retrieve eggs. This kind of research will cause harm and pain to the dragon beast, and the law is not allowed!
But a dragon beast is a dragon beast after all... If it is for the benefit of the dragon clan, the dragon beast cannot be sacrificed. Tana looked at her daughter, then at her son-in-law, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind:
"I had a daughter before Lanni, and she also...has not awakened her true name. If necessary, I can bring her here...but there are conditions!
——Let me see your research results! I see that this method of yours can make a female dragon, or at least a female lizard, pregnant! "
"Of course, of course." Anivea smiled. She answered confidently without hesitation:
"You can check the detailed version of the previous experiment records at any time. If you want me to redo it in front of you and demonstrate it to you, that's fine too."
Her confident tone and demeanor made the older Jade Dragon breathe a sigh of relief and become more confident. She nodded:
"Okay, if the results of the experiment are satisfactory, I can bring the dragon beasts here, and I can even contact compatriots who have the same worries and find a few more dragon beasts. Well, you just said 'first', so what is the second step?"
"Secondly, we need to patiently test the method of stimulating ovulation on lizards, pseudodragons, and subsaurs." Anne Weiya continued to talk:
“The current preliminary plan is electrical stimulation, but the location of the electric shock, the intensity of the electric shock, the time of the electric shock, and precautions all need to be further tested.
Then, in view of the dragon's strong resistance to various spells, we have to patiently do more experiments and choose more methods. Maybe, after the spell is analyzed, we can also use magic to solve it..."
Can it be solved without electric shock, or should it be solved without electric shock. However, no matter which solution is used, it must be based on a large number of experiments——
This point does not need to be explained in detail by Annevia or Gretel, the Emerald Dragon also understands this. There was no other way. In order to prevent my daughter from suffering any more pain, I had no choice but to let the dragon beast go on top of her:
"Take us to see your experimental records! Show them to us! As long as we can see that your experiment is successful, the dragon beast will arrive soon!"
There is naturally no problem with experimental records. There is no problem in practical operation. Annevia caught two pairs of male and female lizards, and cast a large reproduction spell on one pair, allowing them to mate and become pregnant on the spot;
The other pair uses magic to stimulate ovulation and sperm, collect sperm and eggs on site, and perform artificial insemination on site. After several consecutive spells, the sperm combines with the egg and becomes a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg divides, divides, and divides again...
It can be clearly seen under the microscope that the fertilized egg expands from a small one into a cluster of 16 cells. Annevia was familiar with the process, transplanting the cluster of fertilized eggs back into the female lizard, and then shot it with another spell:
"Look, the life breath has become stronger and more stable - you can clearly feel the eggs inside the female lizard, right?"
Jade Dragon Tana nodded solemnly. At least in lizards, this technical route of taking sperm and eggs separately - artificially combining them - using spells to promote growth - and re-implanting them has immediate benefits in promoting reproduction.
"...Okay! In half a month, I will send four dragon beasts over! At least four!"
Tana made a decisive decision. Anivea felt Alexander for a moment. Before she could say anything, she saw Tana dragging her daughter and son-in-law striding out of the laboratory, and a huge dragon shadow rose into the sky.
"This...Teacher, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this project..." She stiffened her neck, flexed and stretched her toes, and turned to Gretel one by one:
"I'm really not sure about electric shock... I did it several times in a row, and the lizard was electrocuted to death every time..."
"Ah, it's okay." Grete waved his hand casually. As a mentor, as an academic leader, what you have to do is to solve resource problems for students and subordinates:
"I'll go back to Senior Sister to ask for someone. Don't forget, your mentor is a magician with the horns of Thunder!"
Thunder Horn doesn't know how to play anything, and it's impossible that he doesn't know how to play with electricity. Direct current, alternating current, high-voltage electricity, low-frequency electric pulses, any trick they can think of is the trick they can play——
Ahem, except for a certain pseudo·Thunderhorn·true·healing mage. Even so, by hugging his senior sister's thigh tightly, he could easily carry his nephew over:
"Please help with this project and adjust the required current - it is best not to need manual control, but to use a generator or battery to control it. Work harder, this project can directly help the dragon family give birth!"
Helping dragons give birth = having direct contact with dragons = being able to get benefits directly from dragons. The nephew who was brought over by Grete looked excited and plunged into the project wholeheartedly.
Measure voltage, measure current, and adjust the output mode. From spell output, to pulling a few wires and poking them in, to making a special probe——
During this period, I also repeatedly communicated with my compatriots on the other side of the ocean and repeatedly asked for help.
After all, the Charm Control Department is doing some projects to electrically stimulate the brain. The electroacupunctures inserted into the body were also planned by Thunder Horn and actually produced by the Alchemy Guild...
Even with such strong technical support, the electric shock experiment was still stumbling. Annevia worked for ten days in a row, and was barely able to remove the eggs from the low-level dragon. However, every time she received an electric shock, she needed healing skills to wait by her side:
Once the electric shock goes down, the sub-dragon will definitely become stiff, twitch and defecate randomly. The better ones can recover on their own, then run away like crazy and never look back;
He almost fell into coma on the spot, his heartbeat and breathing stopped, and he needed a [Treat Fatal Wounds] shot to bring him back from the brink of death.
Anivea became more and more depressed and frustrated, and finally came to Grete for advice:
"Isn't it possible to use electric shock? The damage is very serious, and Yalong's stress response is also very strong..."
It is impossible to try this level of pain and damage on the Dragon Clan! No matter how anxious the dragon is to have a child, he can give her a claw in an instant!
"It's really difficult." Gretel nodded with understanding. 36-volt low-voltage electricity can cause instant pain when hitting your hands;
The stronger electric current still hits the delicate and important parts. This kind of pain is simply piercing the heart, liver, and internal organs!
"Now there are two methods. One is to prepare anesthesia in advance - although it cannot isolate the current, we can try to isolate the pain.
Under anesthesia, extend the discharge probe as close to the target site as possible, and then discharge quickly and with the smallest possible dose. In this way, at least other organs can be protected and pain and stress can be reduced. "
Anivia set a new record. She has been trying surface electric shocks before, but now it seems that she can only try inserting the electric shock head into the cloaca...
"Teacher, what about the second method?"
"The second method is to directly retrieve the eggs." Grete sighed with a deep expression on his face:
“A long needle, a needle that’s thick enough and long enough, is inserted close to the ovary, away from other blood vessels and nerves.
Didn't you see the follicles when you used ultrasound before? Under ultrasound guidance, the needle is inserted into the target follicle and directly aspirated..."
This method was also the method most commonly used by assisted reproductive specialists in Grete's previous life. The problem is that this method is a bit difficult to use on dragons:
The egg-retrieval needle used on ordinary humans is 35 centimeters long and 0.9 to 1.6 millimeters thick. If it is used on a 30-meter-long female dragon, how long is the egg-retrieval needle?
Is 350 centimeters enough?
What about 35 meters?
Such a long needle, oh no, Dragon Spear, can its casting process be able to create such a long and thin needle? Can you break through the scales and muscles and penetrate the dragon's ovary correctly?
Even if the length, thickness, and strength are sufficient, who will control this dragon gun and make it have the correct needle insertion position?
Just thinking about it, Gretel felt that this plan was too difficult, so difficult that it was completely impossible to solve. He patted Anivea on the shoulder helplessly:
"Of course, this solution is only used as a last resort. You'd better try to give an electric shock..."
