Alien Knights

　　 The production of the original microscope is a milestone in Todd's research on heterogeneous abilities.

　　 In the past, Todd's ability to see through could only use the naked eye to observe the inside of a heterogeneous person, such as the parasite in the adrenal gland of Jerry. Smaller microorganisms can only see the shadows of unidentified organisms gathering together.

With an optical microscope, although the magnification is less than 400 times, and the chromatic aberration and temperature difference of the lens are not satisfactory, at least you can see that in addition to parasites, a new source of supernatural power-the body of bacteria, includes The "eubacteria" of Hudgens and Edgar and the "archaea" of Todd's neural network system.

　　 However, the more discoveries, the more doubts.

　　 Todd's biggest concern is what kind of harm the bacteria can do to the infected body.

Observing Huggins’ palms up close, the skin and tissues of this man’s hands have been poisoned and discolored due to a foreign species of bacteria called "debilitating", and the internal bones and texture have been damaged to varying degrees, and this This kind of corruption has begun to spread from the hands to the arms. If left alone, at this rate, in the next five years, half of a man's body will experience organ failure and tissue necrosis.

　　 Use fluoroscopy to observe Edgar's leg nerves. The heterogeneous bacteria named "Quick Speed" gave the boy super speed and agility, but it caused the nerves at the end of his lower body to shrink to varying degrees. The boy himself also admitted that he often loses consciousness in his legs when he sleeps at night. If this continues, once the bacteria invade the nerve center, all that awaits him is paralysis or worse.

　　 For his own diagnosis, Todd also used the staining method of Danish bacteriologist Hans Gram in 1884 to identify the bacteria extracted from the bodies of the two in the laboratory for the sake of safety.

The bacteria were stained with basic dye crystal violet, and then decolorized with alcohol. As a result, the purple color of Harkins' "debilitating bacteria" was not removed. It was "Gram-positive bacteria" (G+); Edgar's " The purple color of "Quick Bacteria" is removed, and it is light red. It is "Gram-negative bacteria (G-)." The former mainly produces exotoxins to make people sick, and the latter mainly relies on endotoxins to make people sick.

　　 Looking at this result, the monk apprentice was finally able to understand the real reason for the decrease of the alien blood in the mouth of the throat.

　　 Being hunted by the church is only a secondary cause, and the slow killing of infected persons by pathogens is the main reason for the gradual decrease of alien species!

With this discovery, Todd walked out of the laboratory with a heavy heart. Karin, wearing a monk's robe, followed behind him and saw his face pale and silent. It is rare that he did not bother him with questions. .

　　 The monk found the alien trio at the foot of the monastery, supervising the craftsmen to refine silver.

　　 Edgar is wearing a glamorous new suit. He began to spend money to find a child in the nearby village to do the farm work in the monastery. Due to avoiding work and eating and drinking, the child seemed to be a lot fatter than before.

　　 Hudgens hasn't changed much. He still has that worn leather jacket. The boots on his feet are stitched up and he is still not willing to throw it away. Even the leather pot is still the inferior ale that is hard to swallow. Where did this guy spend so much money?

　　 Todd didn't plan to tell them his findings for the time being. Instead, he turned his attention to the smiling little Jerry.

　　 As early as the exorcism, he discovered that external stimuli can make the adrenal parasites secrete body fluids. At that time, he already had a vague idea, but a series of things that happened afterwards made him forget about it.

　　 With the idea of ​​helping one count one by one, he gathered the three of them around and explained his idea of ​​solving the tall young man's "rage power".

　　 In fact, the method is very simple, in the end it is just one word.

　　 scare.

　　 tried his best to stimulate little Jerry's nerves, forcing him to adapt and control the activities of adrenal parasites in the body.

　　 told them what they had discovered during the last exorcism. After confirming that Todd could not help any more, he left room for the three people. He chose to return to the laboratory and continued to think of ways to suppress the bacteria in Hudgens and Edgar.

　　 It was ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and at Todd's repeated requests, Karin went back to rest first. After having a simple dinner, he himself continued to experiment under the faint light of the oil lamp.

　　 can't remember how many times this is the first attempt.

　　The heterogeneous bacteria under the microscope swallowed the normal cells of the human body little by little, and once again released toxins. Todd grabbed his hair tightly and let out an angry growl.

　　 The antibacterial experiment failed again.

　　Natural antibiotics, organic acid, low temperature, active filter... Todd tried every method he could think of, but the heterogeneous bacteria in Hudgens and Edgar still survived tenaciously.

Looking at the four glass petri dishes containing "debilitating bacteria", "fast bacteria", "see-through bacteria" and "Sutherland Archaea" in front of him, Todd buried his face deeply in his hands. The self-blame and frustration of the past arise from the bottom of my heart.

　　 This is different from the topics and research in the biochemical laboratories in the previous life~www.NovelMTL.com~ What he is doing now is trying to save two lives, the lives of two of his friends. Todd's knowledge has led the world for nearly a thousand years, and microbiology is his academically best field, but he is helpless in the face of these bacteria that he has never seen before. This is pain and shame.

　　 stood up dejectedly, trying to leave this frustrated place. The long-term fatigue coupled with sitting for a long time made him just stand up, blood rushed to his brain, his eyes were dark, his feet staggered, and his hands waved forward.

　　咣当.

The four petri dishes in front of 　　 were knocked over together, and the culture liquid was flowing everywhere along the stone table.

　　 Todd hurriedly bent down to clean up the mess, and found desperately that the bacteria samples in the other three petri dishes were all mixed into the petri dishes of Sutherland archaea.

　　 "Ah! Damn it, this is a waste!" (Chinese)

　　 picked up the petri dish mixed with four kinds of bacteria, he sighed and looked at the wooden barrel in the corner, thinking that he would go to Harkins and Edgar for sampling tomorrow, but his feet did not move for a long time.

　　 Looking at the glass dish in his hand again, a weird thought arose in Todd's mind.

　　 Otherwise?

　　 Look with a microscope, what happened here?

　　 Just do it.

　　 took a sample of the petri dish and placed it on the observation platform. When his eyes met the eyepieces, Todd felt his heartbeat stopped for a moment.

"How can this be?"

　　 The swallowing stopped, and the toxin was gone. "Sutherland Archaea" are like miniature "safes", firmly "locking" the other three kinds of heterogeneous bacteria in the cell wall, stopping their "evil deeds".

　　 In the history of later generations, no one thought that it was an experimental accident that year. The long night of redemption for alien species lightened the way forward.
