Another world conquest manual - #456 - Chapter 449 Bizarre Discovery
The location of the Jumang base is neither close nor far from Chengdu.
At least for ‘express delivery’, there is no need to change the way of travel too much.
Six hours later.
A large delivery truck secretly drove into the base.
And was quickly sent to a large laboratory.
Although this laboratory has only been established for three months, it is much easier to establish a laboratory locally than in the Great Mo Realm.
Therefore, whether it is the equipment, instruments or staffing of the laboratory, it will not be much inferior to the vegetation laboratory in Xinhuo Camp.
Of course.
This refers to the hardware configuration.
If there is a directional discussion on research experience such as Reiki, the camp will definitely be better. After all, it starts early.
The person in charge of this laboratory is an old academician of biology named Yang Tianwen, the chief scientist of 973, and a recipient of special national allowances.
Yang Tianwen is seventy-three years old this year, half a year older than Lin Li. After the establishment of the Jumang base, he was rehired to work in the laboratory.
Although Yang Tianwen has not been able to go to the Great Mo Realm to see it with his own eyes, his level can almost access most of today’s secrets.
Therefore, the existence of the Great Mo Realm and monster beasts is not unknown news to him.
It was almost late at night when Wu Long’s remains were transported to the laboratory.
But at this moment, in the laboratory.
Among the more than ten people above and below, including Yang Tianwen, no one felt sleepy in the slightest.
They were told very clearly when they received the order:
This is a huge monster that can overturn certain perceptions!
When the centipede body arrived, a research team immediately stepped forward to detect the external data.
More than an hour passed.
Yang Tianwen’s assistant and student, Luo Feng from Sichuan University, quickly walked over with a form:
“Mr. Yang, the physical data of this centipede has been released.”
Yang Tianwen adjusted his glasses and asked:
“Tell me more about it.”
“Understood, according to our measurements, the centipede’s anal snout is 15.79 meters long, the head and tail length is 17.63 meters, the body width is 1.45 meters, the body height is 63 centimeters, and the weight is 23.62 tons.”
Yang Tianwen glanced at Luo Feng and habitually turned his head slightly to the left:
“Wait, Ronaldinho, how much do you think it weighs?”
“23.62 tons.”
“The decimal point is correct?”
“That’s right.”
Yang Tianwen’s brows immediately wrinkled slightly.
Snake lovers should know.
In biology, anal snout length and head-to-tail length are two concepts.
Body length generally refers to the length of the anus and snout, and the length of the head and tail is often called the full length.
Centipedes are invertebrate arthropods with an exoskeleton.
The weight of exoskeleton creatures can generally be restored using a linear relationship with the length of the anal snout.
Calculated according to normal model.
The weight of the 15.79-meter centipede should be between 2.7-3.3 tons.
Even if it is a monster, its weight is only about 10 tons due to the increase in muscle density. The rabbits have killed several third-level monsters in Xiaolianzi Mountain and have carefully studied their weight curves.
At present, Wu Long’s body is more than twice this limit value, which is obviously an abnormal situation.
15.79 meters vs. 23.62 tons. This density is even higher than the flesh and blood samples of the fourth-level monsters in the Great Mo Realm.
To know.
Many 20-meter-long whales only weigh more than ten tons.
Then Yang Tianwen thought for a while and asked:
“Xiao Luo, has the autopsy started?”
Luo Feng shook his head:
“Not yet, you said this.”
Before he finished speaking, Yang Tianwen picked up a lab coat and interrupted him:
“Come on, take me over there, I’ll do the surgery myself.”
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he immediately responded and nodded quickly:
“Understood, I’ll make arrangements now!”
Twenty minutes later.
Yang Tianwen carried a small box and walked slowly onto the dissecting table.
Of course.
What was in front of Yang Tianwen was said to be a dissecting table, but it was actually a huge sterile flat plate.
Standing in front of the tablet, Yang Tianwen’s size was less than one-tenth the length of a centipede.
After everything is ready.
The dissection officially begins.
The surface defenses of the monsters at the early stage of the third level are not particularly difficult to break through. The head of the tiger monster in Xiaolianzi Mountain has now been dug into honeycomb briquettes.
Under the sword that was strengthened by the talisman, the centipede’s exoskeleton was quickly cut open.
With the rupture of the exoskeleton.
A ball of brown flesh immediately appeared in front of him.
Yang Tianwen tried to poke it and found that the special experimental knife could not cut into it easily.
It is clear.
The density of this piece of flesh and blood is very high.
Then Yang Tianwen used some strength to cut off a small section of flesh and blood and handed it to Luo Feng:
“Ronald, please take it and check the specific substance content, especially the protein and fat values.”
Friends who have ever eaten roasted centipedes should know this.
Centipede flesh is very soft and tastes slightly bitter but smells delicious.
This is because centipedes are arthropods without spines, and their bodies are mainly composed of proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, and other trace elements.
At present, the determination of protein content in centipedes is mostly based on the Kjeldahl method, and it does not take too long to obtain the results.
Therefore, less than fifteen minutes before Yang Tianwen continued to start the dissection, Luo Feng brought over the results of a report:
“Mr. Yang, the analysis results of the flesh and blood samples are out!”
Yang Tianwen put down the knife and asked:
“How is the result?”
“3.2% fat, 21.32% protein, and the rest is chicken.”
Yang Tianwen said softly:
“So many muscle fibers? How does the striated muscle system control it?”
As everyone knows.
As a lipopod, the centipede’s muscular system originates from the mesoderm of the early embryonic stage and is a system composed of striated muscles.
The muscle fibers of centipedes are bundled, and the endpoints of the muscle bundles are fixed on the fixation points on the inner wall of chitin, forming a large series of muscle sequences.
In this way, under the control of nerve fibers, various more complex movements can be performed.
But in general.
Centipede muscles mostly appear near the feet, but what Yang Tianwen and others cut was on the centipede’s back.
This area is generally dominated by protein.
Sometimes it’s 40%, sometimes it’s 50%, it may even exceed 65%.
With this doubt in mind, Yang Tianwen continued the dissection.
“The upper pharynx forms the roof of the oral cavity. Generally speaking, there is a transverse pharyngeal head plate between the inverted upper lip and the upper pharynx. Did you see it? This structure does exist.”
“This is the foregut of a centipede. Please record it. There are many striated muscles on the inner wall of the centipede, and there are corrugated longitudinal folds on the surface of the inner wall. It is preliminarily judged that there is a gizzard inside.”
“This abdominal aorta”
“This is. Oh, this should be a Malpighian duct, similar to a human skin swallow.”
Yang Tianwen was dissecting and analyzing at the same time. After all, there were not many opportunities like this.
However, just when his special scalpel came behind the subesophageal ganglion.
The tip of the knife hit a hard object.
Yang Tianwen exerted some force on his hand and found that he still couldn’t cut through the object.
So he stopped teaching and frowned and thought for a few seconds.
Then he lifted the knife.
The ganglion was cut horizontally like a zipper.
result
A white bone, about the thickness of a fist, appeared in front of him.
Judging from the position of this bone, it appears to be one.
“spine?”
Do you know how difficult it was for me to write this chapter? I called an arthropod friend at 3:30 in the morning and spent a meal to finish him off.
