Extraordinary Sailing

Rumble.

Spring thunder bursts in the sky, and the first rain in the year 189 of the Haiyuan calendar came a little earlier than in previous years.

Temporarily staying in the [Witchcraft Garden] on Long Island is not affected by the outside weather at all, and it is the most livable state from beginning to end.

trickle

A pool of dazzling golden liquid in Aiwen's hands slowly passed through the two cylindrical glass petri dishes filled with high-energy nutrient solution in front of him. Although the change was not obvious in the macroscopic world, it had disappeared without a trace in the process. Specific tweaks were made to the genetic sequence of things in the petri dish.

At this time, this golden liquid compiled by gathering all known creatures [golden chain] in the hands of the "activation school" has undergone tremendous changes compared to the original.

Originally, after gathering the gene fragments in the body of the dragon, thunderbird, demonized shark, demonized gray wolf, Ivan himself, Angie, sister, and Olivia, this golden light seems to be faintly forming some kind of concretization It's just because the number of "puzzles" is still too small, and it has always been difficult to see the whole picture.

But when Aiwen and An Qi worked together for a whole winter, using the energy of the [Bronze Amulet] (the life power of the Feathered Serpent God) to continuously sacrifice the [Blood Holy Grail], according to the analysis of "Encyclopedia of Enchanted Creatures" After drinking the blood of thousands of powerful demonized creatures.

It probably reached a certain critical value, and the looming thing finally revealed its true face. It was a spear with a double helix structure, with a long helical handle but a double-edged spear at the tip.

It's just that it's still very illusory, and it's still far from being fully formed, and it's even more difficult to predict what kind of ability it will have after it is fully formed. The two guessed that it was not only because the sequencing project of flesh and blood creatures still had a long way to go, but also that of elemental creatures had to be followed up.

However, the power of the [Golden Chain] itself to empower genetic information is already very strong.

"Haha, it worked!"

Looking at the two tumbling mercury-like liquids in the middle of the two cylindrical glass petri dishes, Ai Wen put away the pool of gold liquid in his hand, and clapped his hands with a smile.

Olivia and An Qi, who were also in the laboratory and had already made preparations, immediately surrounded them.

The two girls wore white nightdresses of the same style and stepped on wooden slippers. They half-bowed their graceful bodies together, blinking their big eyes and looking curiously at these two pieces of third-order biological armor independently completed by Aiwen—[Light Magic Circuit 】!

"Teacher, although this is biological armor, it looks more like an inorganic metal than 'venom'. Is this really made of organelles?"

This is also the key to the analysis process of [The Holy Grail of Blood]. At the same time, it is another set of independent genetic material carriers in the organism besides nuclear DNA-mitochondrion.

After exhausting most of the biological materials in this world, they can almost conclude:

Mitochondria are the only place for biological cells to carry out aerobic respiration, and they are also an organelle that commonly exists in most organisms in the world.

But the genetic material contained in it is completely different from the nuclear DNA in the nucleus.

Just because it is the same as the bacteria weighing more than one kilogram in the human gut, they are also foreign in nature, but they go one step further and directly enter the inside of the cell.

Aiwen has no energy to research the deeper biological evolution of this world for the time being, but combined with the memory in the brain, he can generally make an inference similar to the evolution of Blue Star.

In ancient times, because of a coincidence, the oxygen produced by organisms such as cyanobacteria poisoned most of the microorganisms that did not need oxygen at that time, and also caused the first mass extinction in biological history.

Only a few species of bacteria have found their own unique method. Not only are they not poisoned to death, but they can use the poisonous gas of oxygen to generate energy and survive.

Later, one of the surviving bacteria was swallowed by another ancient single-celled organism, but it was not digested and decomposed, but continued to function in this single-celled organism.

At the same time, that kind of single-celled organism would not only not be harmed by the "poisonous gas", but also gain much more energy than before, thus being able to evolve more complex structures and possess more diverse functions.

In this way, he galloped all the way on the broad road of biological evolution, leaving other creatures of the same age far behind.

And this ancient single-cell organism later became the ancestor of "eukaryotes" (including plants, animals, and fungi) such as humans, and the bacteria that were swallowed became the mitochondria in the cells.

The ancient bacteria renamed as "mitochondria" finally reached a new "symbiotic relationship" with advanced organisms.

Mitochondria take in oxygen and fuel from the surrounding cell fluid and let them "burn" inside, using the chemical energy to power all energy-hungry activities in the cell, acting like an intracellular It's like a miniature engine.

Therefore, in a normal human body, each cell has an average of 1000-2000 mitochondria, while each cell in extremely energy-consuming tissues such as the heart, brain, and retina contains 10,000 mitochondria.

On the physical side, the number of mitochondria in the body cells of extraordinary people and various demonized organisms is even more exaggerated, and not only the quantity but also the quality are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This is also one of the most important sources of power for many transcendents on the physical side, including the [branded swordsman] whose root is the "life magnetic field".

And Aiwen, who has gradually reached the third-order limit in all aspects of physical quality, is one of the best. Because of his specialization, he is stronger than many titled knights who have turned to the road of will and virtue!

In addition to energy supply, mitochondria also participate in other cellular activities, such as they can control signal transmission between cells, cell differentiation and life and death cycle, etc. In other words, improving mitochondrial efficiency can also improve cell vitality and prolong cell life.

Except for those wild wizards who have no predecessors to guide them, it is normal for wizards of the orthodox school of wizards to also learn the path of knights in the early stage.

Whether it's Olivia or An Qi, while they have reached the senior level official wizard, their physical fitness has reached the level close to the peak of the second level.

But like most wizards, it almost stops here. Through the orthodox path of promotion, you can continue to go further without thinking about it.

However, as the research progress of [Golden Chain] accelerated, it provided them with a new choice.

Although the generalization of [Bloodline Plug-in] is still far away, based on the extreme empowerment of [Symbiotic Transformation] and [Golden Chain], Aiwen has completed various models of "Venom" that surpass all limits and are only at the peak of the second order. Warframe [Symbiosis Warframe Light Demon Circuit].

The most important thing is that as a semi-implanted symbiont, [Light and Magic Circuit] is far gentler than those [Activated Animal Skin] that used to have independent consciousness, even the two girls whose physical fitness is only second-level I can equip it, too.

In fact, this new type of equipment was tailor-made for the two of them, and it took Aiwen, a senior wizard, a lot of effort and continuous adjustment to complete the masterpiece.

Generally speaking, the base sequence of mitochondrial DNA is the same in the offspring of a mother. But it is also possible that there are two or more different base sequences in an individual's body, which is called heterogeneity.

This condition is also prevalent in the average human body.

And there are 37 genes in each mitochondria, they only encode 13 kinds of proteins, these proteins constitute the core function of mitochondria - electron transport chain! The other 1,500 proteins that make up mitochondria are encoded by 30,000 genes in the nucleus.

Therefore, there will naturally be a problem of matching between mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA, that is to say, the proteins encoded by the two parties must be able to cooperate enough to "tightly fit", so that mitochondria can carry out normal energy production.

Relying on the current technology, it is of course no problem to use [Gene Hunting Dog] to directly genetically modify their somatic cells. Olivia and An Qi also trust his technology 100%.

However, Aiwen is still very cautious about directly man-made operations on human genes.

so.

Relating to the fact that the mitochondria themselves are a kind of symbiont originating from the ancient evolutionary history, he simply reproduced a large number of mitochondria belonging to [Brand Swordsman] in his body, and then compared their genomes to make targeted adjustments to their genetic information .

While retaining the powerful effect, the adaptation rate of these mitochondria and their nuclear DNA can reach at least 96%.

It's just that as a high-end customized product, each piece of [Symbiosis Armor Light Magic Circuit] requires a lot of energy from Aiwen to fine-tune adjustments, and it is unique in this world.

Moreover, the main raw materials also contain the secrets of the bloodline hidden in his body, so Aiwen has no plans to produce the third one at all for the time being.

The same is true for the two girls, who are insensitive to any foreign DNA other than Aiwen entering their cells, even if they can be stripped at any time.

laugh--

The petri dish rose slowly, revealing the shining biological armor in it. Turning to look at Olivia and An Qi, Aiwen encouraged:

"Come on, try it!"

"Um!"

The two girls looked at each other to suppress the slight tension in their hearts, and then slowly stretched out their palms to the [Light Demon Circuit] in front of them.

The next moment, the mercury-like light quality composed of small suns slowly melted into every cell in the body along their slender fingertips.

Soon, their already radiant skin began to radiate from the inside out, and weaved into shining geometric striped loops on the surface of their exposed skin.

And in Aiwen's "spiritual vision", the powerful life force fields of the two groups have also become more and more brilliant.

"Well, it's so warm!"

"It feels like an endless stream of power is pouring out of my body!"

It wasn't until half an hour later that the somewhat lengthy first dressing was declared complete.

Snapped--!

Aiwen, whose eyes were burning like admiring two perfect works of art, snapped his fingers lightly, and suggested to them:

"Come on, shall we go to practice?"

Hearing this, Olivia and An Qi raised their beautiful eyebrows at the same time.
