Chapter 1552 Let’s Go! In the Direction of the Dragon Tomb! (Asking for Double Monthly Pass)
"Grete, hatching eggs is so boring... lying there and not being able to move..."
"I'll give you a complete set of communication tools. Do you want to talk more with your little aunt? Theoretically, the female dragon can't lie down all the time when it's incubating eggs. She always has to go out for a walk, hunt or something..."
"Gretel, hatching eggs is really boring... My aunt said that although you can go out from time to time, it is best to stay as close to the eggs as possible and feel the changes in the eggs..."
"Is it boring to stay near the eggs? I will send you a few sets of magic books. Take this opportunity to read more books and try to learn one or two more magics?"
"Gretel..."
Gretel simply didn't know whether Cerela was hatching the eggs or he was hatching the eggs. When Cerira was studying with him before, although they were often together, they didn't talk much and spent most of the time busy;
Now I am alone in a simple dragon's nest to hatch eggs, and I have endless talk all day long.
How is the work, how is the mental journey of learning magic, how is the detail of each egg, what changes are there today...
The conscience of heaven and earth, he has obviously given two people to run errands for her!
A transformation magician who is responsible for measuring the changes in the force field around Cerela, the changes in the dragon's aura, and seeing through those dragon eggs and monster eggs;
A nature priest who is responsible for recording the development process of dragon eggs and magic beast eggs, as well as the changes in their life breath. By the way, we also need to compare the development process with the control group.
Two people! Two people! Talking to Cerira and answering all kinds of questions for her, no matter what, it's enough!
But Serila insists on sticking to him... every little detail, every little change, every detail has to be told to him... But it's really interesting...
If Serila was too busy and didn't say a word to him for a whole day, he would feel lonely and uncomfortable!
Moreover, Serila had been incubating the eggs for seven or eight days, and she felt that her temperament had become much calmer, unlike before, where she could not stop whirring for a while. Not only that, she has also made clear progress in terms of magic perception.
"Gretel, I feel like I feel the changes in the dragon egg!" In the communicator, Cerela happily took credit:
"I seem to be able to feel these little guys! They are growing up bit by bit, breathing bit by bit, absorbing energy bit by bit... When they stay with me, they can really establish a connection with me, and then they can Look better..."
"Can it really look better?"
Grete also became curious:
"Are you sure they can establish a connection with you? Is it because they have established a connection with you that they grow better?"
"That's for sure!" There was a sound of rubbing dragon scales in the contactor. Gretel could almost imagine Cerela happily nodding her head:
"It's because they have established a connection with me! They breathe my breath, absorb my power, and use it for their own purposes, so they can grow so well! I have a feeling that these dragon eggs are at least better than their brothers and sisters. level one!"
"So awesome!" Gretel was moved:
"Then let them study it carefully! - The power fluctuations around you and the nature of the dragon's aura must be studied carefully in order to decipher the mysteries!"
"Then what do I do?"
"You don't have to do anything!" Gretel said decisively:
"Just hatch the eggs and feel the changes in the eggs. Others will do the other work!"
Well, whether dragon aura is a necessary and sufficient condition for the hatching of dragon eggs is a question worth studying.
If the dragon egg must be in the dragon's nest to feel the dragon's aura in order to hatch well, that means that much of the later work, such as chromosome enhancement of the dragon egg, needs to be done in the dragon's nest.
And like Serila's aunt, even her own niece is not allowed to take a look at the dragon's nest from a distance.
If mages are allowed to enter the dragon's nest, get close to the egg-hatching nest, and operate the dragon eggs, then the possibility of the mages being allowed to operate is even smaller...
Grete pondered, quickly writing down the questions to be studied line by line. While writing, he asked Cerela softly:
"Serila, if someone comes to the place where you hatch eggs to enhance the chromosomes of those dragon beast eggs, can you bear it? Will you feel particularly irritable?"
"Um……"
The rustling sound sounded like Cerela lying down and swishing her tail:
"A little bit, but it's okay... The premise is that they don't stay too long, otherwise it will be very annoying... And the movement of the magic circle should not be too loud, otherwise it will be noisy..."
Understood. Even if she is pretending to hatch eggs, Cerela doesn't like to be disturbed. And if the experiment was on one's own eggs, the dragons might even attack frantically.
Therefore, before enhancing dragon eggs, it is best to have enough experimental data to prove that doing so is really beneficial to dragon eggs. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the Dragon Clan to do things that go against their own nature...
Dragon eggs...
Dragon eggs...
From the previous generation, it was destined that dragon eggs could not be intelligent. What kind of experimental process would it take for the Dragon Clan to confirm that this kind of experiment is really effective for dragon eggs?
After all, the difference between dragons and dragon beasts lies in whether the young dragon can inherit the huge dragon heritage in just a short period of time after breaking out of its shell.
If you can bear it, you will have wisdom. If you cannot bear it, your brain will be burned out and you will be a confused beast for the rest of your life...
Grete struggled for a long time and couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, the experiment period was long enough, allowing him to slowly check the information and slowly ask the dragons:
The gestation time of dragon eggs ranges from two months to more than half a year, and the incubation time ranges from half a year to two or three years.
The pregnancy and birth time of serious dragons are even longer, and they must go through a complete cycle. For example, the emerald dragon Alize gives birth to dragon eggs, and the eggs hatch safely before the next stage of research can be carried out. .
During this process, they can use pseudo-dragons, sub-dragons, and eggs of various lizard monsters for pre-research:
"Research and compare, what are the differences in the chromosomes of stronger and weaker monsters, especially those with stronger and weaker magic?"
"Which chromosome positions are particularly strong?"
"If there are enough experimental materials, we can weigh them, scan their brain sizes, and estimate the weight of their brains. In extreme cases, we can even perform dissections and compare their brains..."
Grete gave the order, and naturally a group of magicians - especially the necromancers who had itchy hands after doing genetic analysis every day, and who had not done any dissection for too long, rushed to study various warcraft.
After two full months of research, a report was presented to Grete:
"The brain development of young beasts with strong magic control is significantly higher than that of monsters with weak magic control. The difference in brain weight of the same kind of monster is about 1% to 3%."
"Well, does this weight difference rule out the influence of the difference in the cubs' basic weight? After all, stronger cubs will generally have more developed muscles and heavier weights."
Beside Gretel, the flying quills paused slightly. On the top of the oak staff, sixteen leaves were raised at the same time, "looking" at the necromancer who was speaking at the morning meeting. The Necromancer nodded calmly:
"Yes, this effect has been eliminated. The difference calculated here is based on correcting the weight difference. The difference in the actual measured brain weight is more than 20%."
Well, the weight difference between the big cub and the small cub is too big... Gretel silently shook off a cold sweat. The Necromancer continued to report:
"There are more differences in the sulci of the brain... Due to the well-developed sulci, the total brain surface area of cubs with stronger magic control is more than 50% larger than that of cubs with poor control.
From this we can judge that a fully developed brain will be of great help to young animals in understanding and controlling magic. "
Not surprisingly. A strong brain means strong thinking, and a strong thinking means strong mental strength. As for how to enhance brain development...
"The enhancement of specific chromosome points also plays a great role in the development of the brain of young animals." Elder Erwin took two steps forward and placed another report in front of Gretel:
“Based on our research on devil frog eggs, devil lizard eggs and many other animal eggs, we have screened out several points that can promote the development of the young animal’s brain.
Of course, these points are not necessarily applicable to the development of dragons and dragon beasts, and further research is needed..."
Grete nodded silently. During the previous process of transforming dragon blood dependents, they also discovered some chromosome points that allowed the dependents to possess the dragon's individual magic and extremely strong mental power;
However, dragon blood dependents are transformed after adulthood, and the chromosome enhancement on the dragon eggs can only give the dragon beasts stronger spell-like abilities, but it cannot give them wisdom.
"So, let's think about it, is there any way to prove that our experiment can help increase the possibility of the young dragon's awakening?"
"Conducting experiments on dragon eggs? That's impossible. Withered seeds cannot bear fruit anyway..."
Silver Dragon Andre said softly. Beside him, the emerald dragon Alize nodded slightly, also looking embarrassed:
"A dragon beast is a dragon beast..."
"Then, what about letting the dragon beast possess the dragon's soul?" The necromancers had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and immediately suggested. Then, it was immediately rejected again:
"It's useless. It's equivalent to using the soul to drive a demon doll. The soul is a very magical thing. It can only pass through the boundary between life and death, grow slowly in the mother's belly, and be conceived in the egg."
"Then... we directly stuff the dragon's soul into the dragon egg?" The magicians in Black Crow Swamp are still obsessed with it. This time, Emerald Dragon Tana frowned and pondered for a long time:
"...It's not impossible. Although I don't know where there is a soul that can be stuffed like this... Could you please apply and give it a try?"
Gretel was not optimistic about this application. But to his surprise, Sky Dragon City actually approved it. Along with the approval came suggestions on how to obtain dragon souls:
...Maybe you can go to the Dragon Tomb to have a look?
