Chapter 1655 Gretel, Are You Going to Become a Mad Scientist? (Monthly Ticket Adds 18 More Updates)

"Energy level..."

"When hatchlings break out of their shells, they all look like level 3. When they are close to their infancy, they will grow to about level 5... If they don't grow that strong, they won't be able to break out of their shells, and they will fail to hatch..."

Gretel frowned, holding a lot of information and writing and drawing. In one month, he visited three dragon nests and welcomed the birth of three nests of baby dragons——

For this, I also want to thank him for the connections he accumulated from running around and working hard, ah no, dragon veins. Except for Alicia's brood, which was brokered by Elder Batista, the other two broods of young dragons have more or less some relationship with him.

Of the two broods of baby dragons, one was born to the daughter of the emerald dragon Tana, and the other brood was to the steel dragon Gould, who had been blown apart in an indescribable part. With his help, he and the female dragon Ketika Born to Lotte...

When the baby was conceived, other people helped, and they asked to watch the baby dragon break out of its shell and give the baby a physical examination. Naturally, the dragon's parents couldn't help but refuse.

From this, Gretel obtained three nests of dragon eggs, a total of 12 eggs, 8 baby dragons, and the data of 4 baby dragons who successfully awakened their true names. ——But it is far from enough.

"Alicia laid 5 eggs, 4 of which hatched successfully. Two dragon hatchlings awakened their true names... The dragon eggs that failed to hatch successfully, the weight of the hatchlings was significantly lower than the average weight. It was obvious that they were not well developed..."

"Steel Dragon Gould's wife, Keti Kaludi, laid four eggs, two of which were successfully hatched, one of which successfully awakened its true name..." Gretel analyzed the data with some depression:

"One of the dragon eggs that failed to hatch was too low in weight, and the other one was a little deformed. It is speculated that two giant dragons of different races gave birth to a heterologous dragon, but the mutation did not succeed..."

"Children of the Emerald Dragon, two of the three eggs were hatched successfully, and one of the hatchlings successfully awakened its true name. The weight of the three hatchlings, based on comparison with historical records, exceeds that of the Emerald Dragon hatchling by 15%..."

After writing this, Gretel's eyes finally lit up, he put down the pen, clenched his fist and waved it hard. It’s true that he worked so hard to study it and finally saw some results!

"It is speculated that unfertilized oocytes are fused with fertilized eggs using electric fusion to add intra-oval substances to the fertilized eggs. The effect is remarkable..."

However, the hatching success rate has not been significantly improved, and the probability of awakening the true name has not been significantly improved. Gretel sighed in annoyance and continued writing:

"However, the reason why the young dragons failed to awaken their true names is currently unknown... The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that all young dragons with a mental power index below 120 failed to awaken..."

"Considering that the essence of the awakening of the dragon's true name is that the brain accepts the inherited memory of the dragon clan in a short period of time, the dragon's mental power index is too low and may not be able to withstand the impact of memory..."

"However, we don't yet know the factors that affect the spiritual growth of dragons...the tentative research direction..."

Grete began to bite the end of the pen, bite the end of the pen, and kept chewing the end of the pen. There are so many directions that need to be researched, and he can't figure them out at the moment... Maybe he needs to hold a meeting to brainstorm ideas...

That is to say, the [Endless Ink Pen] was a magic item customized by him as a prize. It was strong enough and durable enough to prevent him from biting it into strands or even destroying the magic structure inside.

After biting for a long time, saliva flowed down the quill's seal to his hand, and almost flowed onto the paper. Grete finally sighed and threw a cleaning technique on it. Forget it, let’s have a meeting...

"What factors affect the growth of mental power? - The first must be the brain!" The Necromancer of Black Crow Swamp couldn't wait to answer. Before Grete could ask further questions, he had already revealed a bunch of research data:

"According to our research, the thickness of the cerebral cortex and the number of folds of spellcasters have obvious advantages over warriors! The average thickness is 5% greater than that of warriors, and the higher the level of spellcasters, the thicker the cerebral cortex is. …”

Gretel simply didn't dare ask where their data came from. ——Well, considering that the Necromancer collects and dissects a large number of corpses, and is the executioner of the Parliament, they can probably get enough fresh corpses to dissect...

Black Crow Swamp's black robes were flying and his saliva was splashing everywhere. On the left, right, and directly opposite, the magicians who were close to him all quietly moved away to avoid being accidentally injured by stray bullets:

"By the way, we should also pay attention to the blood flow in the brain and the cardiovascular system... Only with enough blood supply can the brain function! We can observe the blood vessels of the young dragons and dragon beasts. If there are any problems, we can advance them Intervention..."

This is a good idea, provided you have enough experience - for example, catch enough dragon beasts and do cranial Doppler on them.

Grete nodded while listening. After the necromancer finished speaking, a magician of the control system diagonally across the street coughed lightly and calmly continued:

"The activity level of brain waves also needs to be paid attention to. - Since the inheritance of dragons is a spiritual activity, we can measure their brain waves and observe where the 'critical point' is..."

This makes sense! Grete brushed up the records and asked questions while writing:

"Then, what should we do if we reach the critical point and the young dragon can't hold on?"

"There are some spells that may be able to intervene." The magician of the control department answered without hesitation:

"For example, sedation, soothing, or spells that temporarily increase mental power, such as [Fox's Cunning]. Also, if the brain is hypoxic, maybe you can give the young dragon oxygen..."

Gretel thought for a moment, and saw a young dragon receiving inheritance, with all kinds of magic auras hanging on his body, and an oxygen mask on his face——

It also has to be a specially made oxygen mask for humans, which is not suitable for the face shape of the young dragon and will leak. Or, there are oxygen tubes in the nostrils and a straw in the mouth, sucking high-energy and powerful magic solution...

By the way, there are a bunch of patches stuck on the forehead to display the fluctuations of brain waves in real time; there are several probes stuck on the back of the head to monitor the blood flow of the brain.

Would this kind of formation be too big for a young dragon? Will it cause too much interference to the young dragon, but increase the possibility of failed awakening?

"This is a direction you can try." He nodded to the magician who spoke:

"You can apply for a group of dragon beast hatchlings to conduct basic research. After accumulating enough data, if you think there is a possibility of success, I will apply to the dragon clan for intervention on the hatchlings."

He gave the answer smoothly, and when he mentioned applying to the Dragon Clan, he suddenly paused:

"... By the way, is there any previous research on the forced input of information into the brain, which causes fluctuations in mental power and changes in blood flow and blood pressure in the brain? Is there any model that can be used as a reference?"

"have!"

"have!"

"have!"

Several hands were raised at the same time. Gretel looked around and coughed:

"No rush, come one by one. Don't worry, everyone has a chance to speak. Come on, start from my left hand side and turn clockwise-"

The first one on the left hand is the plastic energy department. Archmage Philby leaned back and said nothing - the Evocation system has always been about bombarding and relying on force to break the situation. She is really not good at such delicate and mind-manipulating spells.

Next it was the turn of the illusion department. The team leader raised his hand confidently:

"Fifth-level illusion spells, dream-telling spells, sixth-level spells, and dream-casting spells can all input information into the brain. We have ready-made data on changes in mental power, and changes in blood flow and blood pressure in the brain. We can open a consultation with the medical branch. subject.”

"Very good." Grete smiled and nodded. Immediately afterwards, the magician of the control department couldn't wait to answer:

"The nine-ring spell, memory weaving, can destroy, change, or instill pre-woven memories into the target creature. We have very rich research on the relationship between this spell, mental power, and resistance, and we have sufficient information-"

"So can enhancing resistance resist this spell? Of course, we don't need to help the young dragon resist it, but can we do it by slowing down the time it takes to take effect and the rhythm of information transmission?"

Gretel asked eagerly. The magician of the control department looked a little stiff, as if he was about to crack open, but he still managed to nod his head:

"Our previous research was not in this direction, but we can give it a try... I think we can write to Ms. Almeida and get some guidance..."

Well, it actually shocked a legend. Before Grete could say "How can this be so embarrassing?", diagonally across from him, the black-robed necromancer spoke impatiently:

"As for spell resistance, we can try to use dragon-born monsters, or giants, dwarfs, lizardmen, and other dragon races to conduct experiments...to quickly transfer spell knowledge into their brains, while recording changes in brain waves and blood flow... …”

Gretel slowly opened his mouth. Without any deliberate sketching, he just made up a vivid picture in his mind:

A large number of monsters and humanoid creatures were tied to the rack one after another, their heads shaved, or simply just scales and no hair...

There are a bunch of tubes connected to the forehead of each creature, and various numbers and lines on the light screen next to it are constantly flashing and jumping...

The magician chanted magic in front of them one by one, or tore open scrolls, or put special jade slips between their eyebrows...

Hello!

It’s a conspiracy!

Gretel shook his head hard:

"We try to use non-invasive and non-harmful research methods... In addition, helping the young dragons through the inheritance period is one direction, and essentially strengthening the young dragons is another research direction..."

"We can use cloning for research!" The Necromancer rushed to speak again:

"Clone the baby dragons, enhance one or several of their extraordinary points in a targeted manner, and observe their mental power index! As long as we clone enough, we will definitely find the answer!"

"..."

No, the cloning technique only creates the body, not the spirit. There is no possibility of awakening such a young dragon!

Do we really want to create a lot of mindless whelps?

How do you feel, I ran in the direction of the mad scientist and never looked back?
