A lich staring at a group of bugs, fantasizing about wearing silk and satin on her body, can such a person let her idle?

Of course not.

But many of the current jobs are trivial and boring, and she would not be happy to hand them over to her. As for the machine he was exploring, this one kept him at a respectful distance. When she didn't see the automatic control program of the Silverbeard Dwarf's Peaceful Armed Forces that she was keen on, Fern only edited the program, and she didn't touch the main body of the Peaceful Armed Forces.

So someone suggested that this lich, who has nothing to do and is chanting "is it okay" all day long, should do something that she should be interested in, and it also belongs to the high-end research category: cross-breeding.

The first step is to make DNA sequence records for all collected moth species. This is not for genetic modification, but to determine reproductive isolation between these moth species.

I still remember learning about Darwin’s theory of evolution, many of which were compared by his old man, highlighting the theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest. According to later generations’ research on their DNA sequences, many of them are fundamentally different species of organisms , just happen to look like it.

It's like aliens saw humans and chimpanzees, and came to the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest. That's why there is a conclusion that one has more hair and is stronger, and the other has less hair and is thinner. Then **** it! Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the situation of the moth species before making appropriate arrangements for subsequent hybridization experiments.

Besides, when it comes to genetic modification, Fern is undoubtedly at the forefront of anyone's knowledge. But what she did to herself, really just created a unique superhuman. However, an individual cannot be regarded as a species after all. If the target is silk, one or two super moths are useless. It must be able to reproduce continuously and produce silk cocoons continuously.

Secondly, if this lich is really made to research in the direction of genetically modified species, who knows what monsters she will turn out. That part is too cutting-edge, and someone is not familiar with it, so it is strongly recommended that she do cross-breeding.

Someone also had a good reason for using it. Since they don't know what kind of silk thread is the most suitable, why bother to take the equally uncertain and most troublesome path. Do the easy ones first, and go to the difficult ones if they are not suitable. Fortunately, Fern accepted.

After confirming the situation of reproductive isolation, Fen started to make preliminary plans for different moth species that might interbreed with each other. Anyway, under Hallumi's care, each pair of moths can produce three or four hundred eggs. Even if only half survived, 80% of the remaining half was used for trial production of silk threads, and the remaining 15% was used for breeding, and there was still 50% for her to mess around with.

From the biological level to study the collected moth species, there are still some very interesting discoveries.

First of all, the 18 kinds of magic moths and the four kinds of common moths actually belong to the subspecies of the three species, and they are not classified in a way of being born with or without power, but are distinguished by the shape of their wings. There are three types with triangular front and rear wings, those with obvious eye lines on the front and rear wings, and three types with linear stripes on the forewings. All three types have inherent powers and those without powers.

But the DNA of these three moth species still basically belongs to the structure of double helix. And the only golden moth is different, she has a four-strand spiral structure, similar to the dragon family. It's just that the information contained in the genome and sequence is far inferior to that of the Dragon Clan.

By the way, the Homo sapiens that Lin has encountered so far include the original human beings—Halumi and Kaya, the male Uzof Gantia, the silver-bearded dwarves Jermaine and Marite, and the goblin Toto Carney and her daughter Polly, many wood elves and elves, dark elves and so on, all of them have DNA sequences of twenty-two pairs of chromosomes plus two, XY for males and XX for females.

That is to say, all Homo sapiens encountered by someone now do not have reproductive isolation, and even the origin may be the same. As for why... It's too brain-intensive to ask a physics student to explore biological issues, so I skip it.

However, dragons have a strong cross-species multiplication ability, not only can they reproduce offspring with dragon blood with other creatures, these offspring may even become a species, and continue to maintain its characteristics and multiply. What is the principle behind this? Someone's biological knowledge is too weak to guess.

But I have a little guess, will the golden magic moth with the same four-strand spiral structure have the same strong propagation ability as the dragon family? Just casually mentioning this kind of thought, and seeing the excited smirk on the Lich's face, someone will know... Forget it, let her go.

In addition to Fern's plans to show off, Hallumi's observations also revealed some interesting phenomena.

First of all, the larvae of all moth species can be vegan. It is not necessarily that the adults will eat meat, and the larval state must be fed with meat. Of course, you can eat meat as well.

Secondly, the larvae of ordinary moths are not good, but if the larvae of those moth species that are born with magical powers are fed, if they grind the magic stone into powder and sprinkle it on the leaves or pieces of meat as feed, there is a chance to promote mutation. Whether it is good or bad is unknown; on the other hand, it will also accelerate its growth. It would take twenty days to enter the next molt period, but it can be reduced to ten days at most.

If the larvae of common moths eat this added bait, they will die suddenly. Moreover, the larvae of common moths will not be able to recognize whether the food has been added, and will just keep eating stupidly. If you eat magic stone powder by mistake, you won't have any uncomfortable symptoms, but your whole body will turn black, stiffen, and die.

The grade of magic stone also affects the effect of feeding. But it doesn't mean that the better the use, the better the effect. Basically, when it reaches the Huangshang level magic stone, its powder becomes poison. The larvae of some moth species know how to avoid them, while others eat them foolishly and then die suddenly.

Pure feeding of magic stone powder or a large amount of feeding will not work either. Those smarter moth larvae will look for food without additives to eat after eating a certain limit. Those unintelligent larvae, of course, eat until they are stuffed to death.

For such a discovery, Harumi, who was originally complacent, immediately collapsed after hearing the teacher's instructions, and almost didn't cry or curse. Someone said: "Well, well done. Then the observation group should be further subdivided. All the current categories should be further divided into those who were fed magic stone powder, and those who were not. And pay attention to the feeding of each stage of the larvae volume limit."

The original work doubled in an instant, and the blond girl was about to cry.

But what made her even more sad was what someone did after the first batch of larvae spun silk and formed cocoons.

Although the silk reeling machine was completed before then, no one except Lin knew the working process.

The two girls who had been assisting with the operation were stunned until someone threw the cocoon into the dryer; because not many small creatures could survive in that kind of heat. Hallomi was even more reluctant to let go of the larvae she had taken care of during this time. Although she didn't shed tears, she still felt uncomfortable in various ways.

Regarding the performance of the two girls, there is no need for others to comfort them, and the two quickly adjusted. Speaking of which, the law of the jungle can be regarded as the norm in Lost Land. They grew up in this world, but someone never took good care of them, and they were completely freed. Not to mention killing chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits, even robbers and uncivilized goblins have been killed before, and killing animals has long been commonplace.

It's just that someone's sudden action frightened them without prior explanation before doing it.

For the first batch of silk cocoons, a certain person followed the processing flow in memory, fumbling and proceeding. Because the first round is mainly to test the operation status of the silk reeling machine, so there is no enchanting mode.

However, the trial run was not smooth. The part of finding the thread end by spinning is because I can't think of how to automate it, so I can only have someone staring at it and do it manually.

One silk thread of the silk reeling machine uses seven cocoons to form seven cocoon silk, and the adjustment of the silk reeling force also makes someone quite troubled. Because the horsepower of the machine is too high, the silk thread is always broken. When any thread is broken, the machine must be automatically stopped.

In order to solve these problems, it is the flywheel, the wire breakage sensor is set, and the lever is adjusted. In order to keep the silk thread consistent, each part of the silk reeling machine is equipped with additional sensors to monitor data including air temperature, humidity, wheel speed, water temperature, water level, etc., and calculate and estimate the length of the silk sheath, silk reeling tension, etc.

When the whole semi-automatic silk reeling machine can run smoothly, it has been magically modified by someone so that the original appearance cannot be seen. Even someone has no way of knowing how different this is from Earth's version of an automated silk reeling machine. Because this is completely a layman, a headache to treat the head, a foot to treat the foot ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ fiddled with it, and made it up.

After the silk reeling machine finally worked normally, Lin tried to enchant the silk during the reeling process. In the first stage, don't think about adding too much magic, but the most basic requirement for yourself, the protective magic that can travel between dimensions and resist alien energies.

If you can't even do this most basic enchantment, and all the cocoons made by moth larvae are not good, then you have to find other ways to add this protective magic to your equipment.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen, and silk threads from some moth species passed the first stage of testing. Of course, without exception, they are all moth species born with magical powers.

The next thing to do is to test the maximum number of enchantments of various silk threads, the continuous state after adding magic, and the ratio of consumption and transformation effect of the enchantment process. At the same time, factors such as the growth cycle of the moth larvae, the difficulty of raising, the cost, and the difficulty of processing must be considered.

If only the former is considered, it is possible to find the thread that is most suitable for enchanting and can obtain the best magical effect. If the factors considered and the latter are added, it is to find the silk thread with the best economic benefits.

In other words, the effect of adding magic may not be the best, but because the breeding is the simplest and can easily form an economical scale, such moth species are the best choice. After all, to make a piece of clothing, not a few cocoons can be solved, but thousands of cocoons are needed.

If the clothes are made and only you want to wear them, then it's fine to collect them slowly, but there are still people waiting in line behind. If the threads collected over a long period of time are only enough for yourself, you don't need to guess and you know that the ending is definitely not a happy picture.

So how to strike a proper balance between economic benefits and magic effects is a test of wisdom.
