Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 144
Ok? ? ?
What does this mean?
"I do not understand what you mean."

The old professor's words really made Chen Xuan a little confused.

"This is actually related to our research on evolution. Although we can't say with absolute certainty, it's basically close."

"evolution?"

Hearing this word, Chen Xuan became energetic.

"What does snake venom have to do with evolution?"

"Before explaining, let's talk about evolution first."

The old professor said calmly.

"Xiao Chen, I would like to ask how the scientific researchers on Dongji Mountain view evolution?"

"A mutated energy brought by the end of the world has stimulated the evolution of biological cell mutations, and this evolution occurs in all biological groups."

Chen Xuan thought for a while, and copied the rhetoric he heard on Dongji Mountain back then.

"Mutational energy? It is the substance that promotes the evolution of organisms after the end of the world."

The old professor was a little taken aback, but quickly realized.

"It's not wrong to say that, but it's not entirely true."

I saw him shaking his head.

"At the beginning of the end of the world, many people's physiques have improved to a certain extent. Even an old man like me feels as if he has suddenly become 30 years younger."

"In the beginning, we also thought that evolution was a mutation under the influence of special energy."

"Mutations were originally random and uncontrollable, and most of them were malignant mutations, but now all biological mutations are benign mutations, and many people feel that things are not that simple."

"It's just that due to problems with many electronic research equipment, related research is progressing very slowly. In addition, the occurrence of the apocalypse cannot be explained by common sense. Just like this flood, we still haven't figured it out yet. Where did it come from?"

"So everyone gradually just thinks that evolution is a special coincidence, an opportunity and challenge given to mankind by God."

Chen Xuan nodded.

He had also heard these words on Dongji Mountain, and the explanation at that time was that this mutant energy was too magical.

Isn't it that simple?
The old professor said slowly:

"But then we discovered some ultra-ancient creatures, and creatures that should have been extinct have reappeared."

Super ancient creatures?Chen Xuan thought of the Helicopteron shark from before.

"If it's just a simple mutation, then only new things should appear. Why did these ancient creatures reappear in the world?"

"At this time, some people put forward a new view. Maybe this is not the mutation evolution of the creature, but the ability that the creature itself has, but due to the change of the environment, this ability has been sealed."

"It's like some strange people and strange things in ancient times. Myths and strange stories always mention some people with extraordinary physiques. People with long lives, people with infinite strength, etc."

"I thought it was just the result of editing and artistic processing, but now it seems that it is not necessarily the case, and it may indeed describe the real story."

"And there have been legends about the Great Flood in history, which doesn't seem to be accidental."

Having said that, the old professor's expression became a little subtle.

"But why do you advise me not to devenom the snake?"

Chen Xuan was a little puzzled, he still didn't know the connection between the two.

"That's relevant to the next discovery."

As if recalling some scenes, the old professor's tone suddenly became a little heavy.

"Xiao Chen, as an evolutionary, you must know that all evolutionaries will be in pain when they enter the advanced stage. Some people survived, successfully advanced, and broke the original shackles. And some people can't survive, The blood vessels all over his body will burst, which is equivalent to dying from a body explosion."

This is something he has always been concerned about, but combined with what the old professor said before, something seems wrong.

Chen Xuan's heart moved, and he blurted out and asked:

"According to what you said, professor, since it is an ability we already have, why is this process so dangerous?"

The old professor nodded slowly, with a serious expression.

"Originally all of us were very excited about evolution, but it is possible to die after evolution to a certain extent? This discovery is undoubtedly a blow to us. Next, we urgently united experts from all walks of life, and through research and analysis, we finally found the cause. cause of this phenomenon.”

"This brings us to the so-called qi in Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the theory of human body meridians. The human body absorbs yin and yang qi and regulates itself. This qi seems to be the special energy now."

"After the advanced stage, the body will hold more qi. Some people's bodies can better adapt to the qi obtained after the advanced stage, while some people can't bear it after taking a dose of strong medicine. In the words of Chinese medicine, this is called the body is weak and cannot be replenished."

"In addition, through statistical analysis, we found that individuals who evolve are generally people who exercise regularly, people who engage in sports activities, as well as special operations personnel and soldiers. So we thought that evolution was only related to personal physique."

Chen Xuan suddenly asked:
"Since you say it's average, then besides the above industries, there must be other evolutionaries. What's going on with them?"

The old professor was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan immediately found the flaw in his words.

He nodded and continued:

"Later, there was a very ordinary survivor who was almost seriously injured and dying. After being treated, he not only survived, but also a person who could not advance to the next level, unexpectedly made such a miraculous breakthrough."

"This matter has attracted our attention, and through continuous investigation, we have made new discoveries."

"Evolution is not only based on the natural strength of the body, but also through the continuous training of the self, one can also become steel. This is the same as the principle of exercise, constantly destroying the cells of the body, and then regenerating stronger cells."

"It's just that, by exercising before the end of the world, we can only strengthen the corresponding muscles and gain better endurance, and our recovery ability is also limited. Once the damage is too large, such as broken limbs, we will It cannot repair itself."

"But now the emergence of this special energy allows people to break through the original upper limit and enter a higher level. The snake venom on your body also has the same effect, it is also destroying your body cells, and it is more thorough."

"This also echoes the famous saying that what can destroy you will also make you stronger."

"All the evolutionists in the camp are currently at the second level, and no one has yet evolved to the third level, because the previous exercise methods are no longer enough to support their abilities."

"But you are different. This snake venom keeps you on the verge of death again and again, and slowly increases your chances of advanced breakthrough. You are probably the most hopeful person to succeed in advancing."

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan was a little excited, and even flushed on his pale face.

However, the old professor hadn't finished speaking.

"But the danger of snake venom still exists. We need to control the speed of his attack, otherwise it will be bad if the snake venom explodes before you advance."

"We have studied your blood and found that the snake venom you are poisoned is really a terrible toxin. According to the analysis, it is estimated that you can only live for three or four days after being poisoned by this poison. But you have survived until now. Truly a miracle."

"The physique of an evolutionary is of course very important, but it cannot be achieved by relying on this."

"Maybe it's because I drank snake blood? That's what the professor on Dongji Mountain said when he diagnosed me."

No one knows his body better than Chen Xuan.

"I see. After the end of the world, many phenomena will have to be re-explained. Maybe you obtained some antibodies in this way."

The old professor suddenly realized, and then said impatiently.

"Xiao Chen, do you still have a sample of snake blood?"

"That's not the case."

Even if this thing exists, it is impossible to put it now!
"Really, that's really a pity. Through the blood of the snake, it may be possible to construct a structure of what kind of creature you are talking about."

"By the way, what method did you use to delay the onset of snake venom?"

"There are two kinds of traditional Chinese medicines on Dongji Mountain, four-leaf ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum. I usually boil these two medicines into medicinal soup for consumption."

"Four leaf ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum..."

The old professor pondered for a moment.

"Are these two traditional Chinese medicines still available? Can you study them for me, and maybe some effective ingredients can be extracted."

"The medicine is on the ship, I'll get it right away."

After saying that, Chen Xuan bowed deeply.

I have to say that the words of the old professor inspired him a lot.

Evolution, it seems, is no longer so scary.
