Plague Doctor

When an earthworm is broken into two parts, it can become two earthworms.

First, the muscle tissue on the section will immediately contract, and part of the muscle will quickly dissolve on its own, forming new cell clusters. White blood cells will also condense on the section to form an embolism, which will quickly close the wound on the section to prevent blood loss and tissue fluid loss, and Resist microbial invasion.

After the closed body cavity is re-formed in this way, the earthworm can survive and it is the stage of regeneration.

The mechanism of earthworm regeneration is currently unclear, and there are two main hypotheses.

First, after the body cavity is closed, the native cells in the compartment of the body cavity will quickly move to the cross section and form nodular regenerative buds together with the muscle cells that have dissolved themselves. At the same time, a large number of mitoses are carried out in the body, causing cells in the digestive tract, nervous system, blood vessels and other tissues to rapidly grow towards the regenerative bud site.

Second, the cells in the cross section will dedifferentiate and return to their original undifferentiated state, and then these cells will divide, differentiate, grow, and regenerate.

Both hypotheses lead to the same result.

In this way, a new head will grow on the section without a head; a new tail will grow on the section without a tail.

One earthworm becomes two complete earthworms.

Earthworms are also a kind of life.

Is this leg of lamb still alive?

When Gu Jun heard Wu Shiyu's words, the first reaction in his mind was to think of earthworms. Then he looked at the broken giant leg of lamb in front of him, as if he could clearly see that the subcutaneous tissue of its thigh was dissolving itself.

It is different from earthworms. Its biological mechanism is more complex than earthworms.

When the liquid escaped, it condensed again and went through a regeneration process, becoming another black goat cub.

These thoughts flashed through Gu Jun's head almost instantly, and the pain in Gu Jun's head became more severe, and the sense of hallucination was getting worse.

But at the same time, the survey ability column of the new system panel and the anatomy experience have also increased.

[You have improved your understanding of life by observing the black goat cubs, +200 experience points, 47005000 (level 1 and level 9)]

Can this also increase experience? Gu Jun was a little surprised, but the introduction to anatomy has already said that the purpose of anatomy is to understand the meaning of life through anatomy. For this, it is not just about using a knife or scissors, but also measuring, observing, Summarizing is an effective method.

"I feel a stick insect." Wu Shiyu quickly walked to the side, "It must be pretending to be dead."

Stick insects have the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

"Earthworm." Gu Jun also expressed his thoughts, "I suspect that it is dissolving itself in preparation for regeneration."

Hearing what the two said, Wang Ruoxiang, Uncle Dan, Xiao Huiwen and others all suddenly realized something. Dissolving themselves? regeneration? Wang Ruoxiang asked quickly: "Gu Jun, do you want us to get out of the car immediately, turn on the freezer, and freeze the whole thing first?"

There are two crises now. One is that the liquid escapes, but this is not an urgent matter, because the carriage is airtight, and every drop of liquid flowing out of the lamb leg is put into an isolation barrel. What's urgent is another crisis. If this continues, this leg of lamb will completely dissolve.

What Wang Ruoxiang said is a solution, but can freezing really stop it?

Water begins to freeze at zero degrees Celsius, but the tissue fluid of insects can withstand low temperatures below zero degrees Celsius without freezing. This is called "supercooling".

There are also cell activities. Freezing cannot completely stop the cell activities of some ordinary life forms, but this is still an abnormal life...

"Try freezing some liquid first! See if there is any over-cooling phenomenon." Gu Jun said, while thinking, looking at the "46505000 (first level nine)" column in his mind, he was almost able to upgrade. Yes, there may be rewards after upgrading...

There is still 300 experience left, facing a completely new alien species, and there is still a chance to improve before getting into the situation.

While Wang Ruoxiang and Uncle Dan were taking action, he watched thoughtfully as the liquid that dyed the drainage tube dark green continued to flow.

The human body naturally contains a large amount of fluid. In fact, about 60% of each person's body weight is body fluid, which is divided into two parts, accounting for about two-thirds of intracellular fluid and about one-third of extracellular fluid. Interstitial fluid, which is extracellular fluid, can account for about 16% of body weight.

This concept belongs to the category of physiology.

Because anatomy is mainly about clarifying the hierarchical structure of the biological body.

But what about anatomy in a broader sense, what if black goat babies have different body shapes?

"This is not some dirty liquid..." Gu Jun murmured after thinking, reaching out to dip a little dark green liquid on the leg of the lamb. Even through the protective clothing, he seemed to feel its viscosity and heat, "This is the black goat." The cub's tissue fluid may be spread throughout its body..."

Xiao Huiwen on the communication screen asked in surprise: "You mean it can self-dissolve, transform into liquid, and achieve regeneration?"

"Hypothesis, a hypothesis." Gu Jun picked up the Carlop scalpel in his hand, stabbed it hard into the shriveled skin of the thigh of the lamb leg, and cut with gritted teeth, "This liquid can both make it Growth can also repair its damage, as well as metamorphosis and regeneration..."

Only species with such abilities can be said to have strong reproductive power, insect-like abilities, and insect-like reproductive power.

Not easily killed, death is just the beginning of rebirth.

One descendant means thousands of descendants.

Chi! Gu Jun cut open a small piece of the skin of the mutton leg. When he lifted it up, he saw that the shriveled inside was tattered and blurry. Some of it was dark green liquid, and some of it was from the lamb leg.

The dark red liquid dissolved from flesh and blood later turned into dark green...

"It can metamorphose." He murmured, "Its structure can also change."

On the other side, Wang Ruoxiang collected a small cup of foreign liquid and put it into the -20C refrigerator.

However, after a while, when he looked at the foreign liquid in the box, Gu Jun guessed it correctly. The foreign liquid in the measuring cup showed no signs of freezing at all!

And the dark green liquid seemed to be stirring slowly, as if it was alive.

The anatomy experts were stunned. Xiao Huiwen asked urgently: "How to stop it? We still need to study this form..."

"Yes, yes!" Geely slapped his thigh repeatedly and gestured, "You have to stop quickly!"

Gu Jun looked at the glass of non-frozen liquid and thought that there really was a cooling phenomenon...

Suddenly, he felt refreshed in his mind. The anatomy completion degree of the task increased to 0.51, and several messages popped up one after another:

[You have improved your understanding of life by observing the black goat cubs, +300 experience points, 50005000 (level 1 and level 9)]
