Chapter 1647: Studying magic starts with rolling dragons (Monthly ticket plus 14)
"The grown-up dragon who needs service" - the black dragon Bernhard, was really moved.
Germ cells are not precious!
These male giant dragons don't live with their wives every day, and they have to pay public food every day!Especially adult dragons, young dragons, most of them don't have wives yet!
If there is nothing to do, they will sprinkle their reproductive cells on dragon beasts, magic lizards, and various female and even male creatures on the territory.For the common interests of the Dragon Clan, it would not be a problem to contribute a little to the Mage Tower!
And they are black dragons.If it is a gold dragon, silver dragon, brass dragon, etc., it may require a lot of persuasion and persuasion, as well as the exchange of benefits.black dragon?How can there be such a thing in Heilong?
Either hand it over obediently, or, beat until you hand it over!
The point is that he himself really needs this research.He is nearly a thousand years old, will soon enter old age, and has not impregnated his wife, or any female dragon, for 300 years...
Even the female creatures around him, such as cloud giants, lizardmen, ogres, and dragon beasts, for at least 50 years, he has not impregnated any of his dependents or other female creatures.
This made Black Dragon Bernhard a little nervous.Am I dying?Am I too old?Am I - can't have any more kids?
No!
Although I lived for more than 900 years, lived with three female dragons, and gave birth to five nests of eggs, so far, only seven children have survived to adulthood!
I still want more kids!
More whelps!
More children means a stronger family, more territory and more resources!
Big discounts during the experiment period, big discounts!As long as [-] copies of germ cells are provided as experimental materials, and if the requirements are met, Master Nordmark will personally help with assisted reproductive work!
The only problem is...
"This...mature dragons are harder to find...can you replace them with youth and adult dragons?"
Gretel brushed and brushed, brushed and brushed, writing experimental ideas in the scratch pad.When I heard this request, the tip of the pen paused, and I pressed the pen holder against my chin, and remained silent for a long time:
"...How about this, first come ten young dragons and ten adult dragons, all of whom will line up at the mage's tower and call their number to come in according to my request. Adult dragons... can find a few, if not, he Just come by yourself..."
After making a step in this way, Gretel quickly got enough dragon essence, and came up with the answer he expected:
With the growth of age, even the dragon family, the sperm motility also declines!
If it drops to a certain level, it is very likely that it will not be possible to fertilize the eggs of the female dragon!
"What should I do?"
The black dragon Bernhard stared, stared, stared so hard that his eyeballs became sour, and he couldn't see through the two glass panes of the microscope what "decreased sperm motility" was.
Those small dots, small dots, translucent dots, don't they all look similar?
Who said his sperm motility dropped?
Perceive life force with mental power...perceive...perceive...there is no difference after perceiving it!
"Ah, there is still a way." Gretel smiled calmly:
"We pick out the more vigorous sperm, and then send it in, and combine with the egg. We have mature spells and have succeeded in other dragons before..."
"Then, how to choose?"
"This, we still need to study and experiment..."
"Then hurry up!"
Needless to say, I also hope to hurry up.Gretel smiled and pushed the black dragon Bernhard out, turned around and hung up the research topic in the mage tower:
Project goal: Separation of motile sperm.
Subject content: In a tube of semen, separate healthy, complete, vigorous sperm that can move forward in a fast straight line, and move them individually into a complete container.
Subject Judging Criteria:
1. Transfer speed: The selection and transfer of all viable sperm should be completed within 30 minutes after the semen liquefies.
2. Safety of transfer: The transferred sperm should still have normal vitality after transfer, and should not cause significant damage to the sperm.
3. Correctness of transfer: the transferred sperm contains the total amount of b-class sperm (slow or sluggish forward movement), c-class sperm (non-moving forward, in situ movement) and d-class sperm (immobile), Not greater than 10%;
After the transfer is completed, after the remaining semen, the proportion of viable sperm should not exceed 20%;
4. Experimental cost...
Subject details...
Note:
1. The ultimate goal of this project is to serve the assisted reproduction of high-level dragons, so researchers need to consider the corrosiveness of dragon semen;
2. Considering the rarity of dragon semen, it is recommended that researchers replace it with germ cells of other races at the initial stage;
3. Competitive research can be carried out on this subject, allowing multiple schools and groups to accept...
Master Nordmark's request to hang out in person, of course, received the attention of all magicians immediately.
Almost at the moment when the topic was hung up, "ding dong", "ding dong", "di-beep-beep-beep", various prompt sounds rang in the ears of the magicians :
There is a problem!
There is an important topic!
Go grab it!
Go grab it!
Go grab it!
The magician who was lecturing put down the courseware and rushed out like a whirlwind;
The magicians who were listening to the class below rushed to follow up, each rushing to their respective terminals;
The magicians who are doing the experiment are rattling and rattling, those who can cover the lid should be closed, those who can extinguish the fire source should be extinguished, and those who can stop the power should stop the power. run.
As for those who are just halfway through the experiment and halfway through the reaction, and really can't stop, they can only look at the back of their colleagues sadly, and then comfort themselves:
"With so many people going, they may not be able to grab it!"
"The experiment is stopped once, at least, their losses are ready!"
"The most important thing is to do the job well! Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand!"
"What's the matter with little Gretel?"
The Lord of Thunder also heard three consecutive "ding ding ding" - from the study of Archmage Philby.
After the voice sounded, his disciple stopped reporting, and quickly began to slide the magic crystal panel, and then his face became very strange.There were red and white, red and white, and finally, the panel was slapped off.
"Uh...it's okay, it's just that he posted a new research topic..."
Philby tried to answer calmly.The Lord of Thunder became curious, and he pulled the magic crystal panel, and swipe on it:
"..."
I always feel that the idea of this topic is a bit, how should I put it, does it mean something?
Especially the sentence "replaced with germ cells of other races"...
The Lord of Thunder also scratched off the magic crystal panel without a sound.Just as the writing on the screen went out, another smiling face poked over from the other side of the desk:
"What is the subject?"
"It's a topic that has nothing to do with us..." The Lord of Thunder calmly turned off the magic crystal panel and moved it back to the disciples:
"Norrell, and Philby, let's continue discussing the accelerator's plan for dealing with extraordinary seeds..."
Cough, in theory, sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs are also a kind of "seed".That little fellow Gretel, I wonder if he would have thought of using an accelerator to process "seeds"...
Gretel's research topic has indeed caused a sensation in the mage's tower.Not specifying which school will accept the topic and conduct competitive research, which means that the demanders of this topic are not sure which technical route can go through;
Then, everyone...
Work hard!
"I think we can give this project a try!" The head of the School of Change was immediately blocked in the office by three colleagues:
"Isn't it just to select a specific material from a pile of mixed materials? We are good at it! Our alchemy branch is best at purifying impurities!"
"Although the biologically active cells need to be purified this time...but it's not difficult! We have similar experience, so we can just transplant them and use them!"
The Department of Change devoted itself to Gretel's subject with great enthusiasm, and even divided into three groups with three different ideas.At the same time, Archmage Morton of the Conjuration Department also rushed forward with enthusiasm:
"This magic is of great help to the treatment work of the medical branch, which can be seen with the naked eye! With it, we can help many patients with fertility difficulties to obtain children!
——We must win this project!Before refining penicillin, refining streptomycin, and refining various medicines, they all used magic circles. Adjusting magic circles is the strength of the conjuration system! "
The magicians of the protection department and the control department are relatively indifferent to this project.The necromancers rushed forward desperately:
"Research! Be sure to study! It would be nice to get some dragon semen by the way! Maybe it can be used for—"
"Crack!" An enhanced version of the mage's hand fell on his forehead:
"If you want to think about it, don't say it! ——No, you can't even think about it! When we came here, we all signed a magic contract, and we can't use any materials from the dragon clan to do things outside the scope of research! You want to kill us! !"
All in all, one of Gretel's research topics was hanged out, and half of the mage tower was stirred up.The quietest ones are the magicians of the evocation department:
Among them, half of them were doing chromosome sequencing, and they were doing it like a celestial being.After spending so much time before, it was very easy to make a standard procedure for gel electrophoresis. The next job is to further analyze the extraordinary points of a large number of dragons;
The other half were taken to Gretel's territory by Archmage Philby, the mage tower equipped with accelerators—or, in other words, only accelerators.
There are so many projects to be researched in the accelerator, and 20 people are thrown in, which is a drop in the ocean!Not to mention, the Lord of Thunder has arrived. He is personally directing the research work of the accelerator, and there will be a lot of research projects...
With such a cutting-edge subject, such high-end guidance, and such rich feedback, it is naturally impossible for the evocation department to be interested in the sperm purification project.The only thing that can bother them is:
"Hey man, can you give me some...hehehe..."
"roll!!!"
Research material is a big problem.For example, what is the source of the semen used for purification?
Animal semen? — Bucks?male wolf?Breeding pig?Magic lizard?Pseudo-dragon?Dragon?
Or a dragon beast?The dragon clan is not easy to deal with, but the dragon beast is still easy to deal with...
Or, humans?
Archmage Morton of the conjuration department especially hopes to use human semen directly, so that the results can be directly transplanted to the human body.However, the magicians who can come to Long Island to work are not young, and the output is very limited...
"Well, the leading stags in the herd are all at the age of hunting... Old stags? Older stags are more difficult to find..."
"Male wolf? The same goes for male wolves. The old alpha wolf will be driven out of the wolf pack after being defeated and become a wanderer..."
"Why can't I masturbate? - Nonsense, of course I can't masturbate, it's not in estrus yet! When is the estrus of the magic lizard? How do I know? You can go to the opposite natural church and ask..."
"Dragon beast! Why can't this dragon beast come out..."
"Go to the Transformation Department and ask? Over there, who is the person who specializes in dragon shape transformation..."
"Stupid! Find the Confusion Control Department for this kind of thing!"
Boom, boom, boom, alchemists, magicians of the conjuration department, and necromancers bumped into each other at the entrance of the laboratory of the control department.
After listening to their request, Mrs. Alisa of the Confusion Department turned blue:
"We cast spells on people! People! Not dragons and beasts! Not other beasts! What kind of stags, male wolves, and boars do you want to hunt? Find a way to do it yourself! —— Get lost!!!"
"Uh……"
If you want to get rich, you must first pluck trees... No, if you want to do magic research, you must first pluck dragons.
The magicians of several other departments were sprayed with disgrace and retreated.The alchemists set up a magic circle and began to purify:
"First of all, we need to select a sperm with high vitality, put it into the magic circle as a sample, and then let the magic circle purify the sperm with similar characteristics..."
"Ah! This one scooped at least a hundred sperm! Dilute it! Keep scooping!"
"Re-dilute! Fish again!"
"Why is the activity getting lower and lower... Is there something wrong with the diluent?"
"How about giving it some liveliness? Say, a heal?"
"Or add diluted holy water? 1:10 dilution, 1:100 dilution, all the way to 1:1000 dilution, with distilled water, with normal saline, with pure semen liquid, and then do it one by one?"
If Grete had read about sperm selection, Grete would have told them that there are many ways to select sperm:
Upstream method, gradient centrifugation method, electrophoresis method, zeta potential method, hyaluronic acid binding method, annexin V selection method, morphology-selective single sperm injection (IMSI), and microfluidic chip method and so on.
Every technology, there are countless countless details.For example, what density of centrifugation fluid was used in the earliest gradient centrifugation method?The ratio of centrate?How long and at what speed?
However, Gretel knew nothing about it.So, he just closed his eyes, pretended he didn't know anything, and let the magicians go crazy:
"Ahhh... Can someone help me get some dragon beast semen... My puppet was trampled! Is there still time to go to the necromantic system to borrow a skeleton..."
