Elf boy Orochimaru

Regarding artificial elves, Orochimaru had made conjectures in the past. .

Grandma Jie Zilan specializes in studying the history of elves. Orochimaru has lived in her house for two years, so naturally he has been exposed to it and has some understanding of the history of elves.

In the ultra-ancient period, about 20,000 years ago, humans created a kind of spirit called "Psychic Earth Doll", which had super powers plus the earth system.

Judging from the illustrations, the body structure of the telekinetic clay doll is very similar to that of the large rock snake, and is made of inorganic materials.

If the guess is correct, the telepathic clay puppet is a type of silicon-based creature.

However, creating creatures is definitely not that simple.

Creators must not only have a certain understanding of the basic structure of living things at the micro level, but also design from a macro perspective.

For example, the eight major biological systems.

Movement, nerves, endocrine, blood circulation, respiration, digestion, excretion, reproduction.

These systems make up a complete life.

This must be taken into consideration when creating.

Orochimaru estimated that super-ancient humans could have created such a being by chance at most.

In other words, this is a product similar to "alchemy".

It is impossible for them to have conducted detailed research on biological systems, and their knowledge and experience will limit people's imagination.

Unless the super-ancient civilization is ahead of the modern times——

This possibility also exists.

There have been disputes in the historical academic community about this. According to the historical data of certain ruins, many historians believe that there was a fault in human civilization at a certain period. The number of elves before this fault was very rare. At the same time, the human civilization in this period It is so advanced that it even reaches into space. After the fault, due to some unknown reason, the number of elves suddenly skyrocketed, and human civilization incredibly regressed, becoming a real "prehistoric era". After that, elves gradually entered human life and became part of human society.

Of course, these are digressions.

The essence of science is discovery, conjecture, and demonstration. Before correct demonstration, everything is just conjecture.

In short, creating a life is not that simple. It is a long-term goal. It is difficult to achieve by one person. It is best to need a team.

From about five o'clock in the afternoon, Orochimaru spent time in the laboratory.

He made detailed observations of these rocks of the Great Rock Snake.

The stones contained quite a few silicon compounds that were not released on the market and that he did not recognize.

Some of these silicon compounds are branched, some are linear, and some are inexplicable spiral chains.

The spiral chain, Orochimaru guessed, may be the "gene" of silicon-based organisms, which contains their genetic information.

In the limited time, Orochimaru used a pen in his notebook to draw the structure of part of the silicide for future research reference.

At around five o'clock, Orochimaru packed his luggage and left the laboratory.

This time period is the off-duty time of the institute. He is not a formal employee of the institute yet and cannot stay here, so he can only find Elf Heart to make ends meet tonight.

Go down the stairs and come to the first floor.

You can see many staff members leaving the research institute, and familiar people greet each other saying they are off work.

Orochimaru saw Hanako's figure there, and Dr. Ohgi beside him.

Hanako and Dr. Ohgi were chatting about home affairs. When they saw Orochimaru approaching, their eyes suddenly lit up and they waved to them.

"Hi, Kouchimaru!"

"..."

"My name is Orochimaru." Orochimaru corrected seriously.

Yes, Orochimaru finally couldn't bear it anymore.

It must be corrected!

He really felt a little uncomfortable with this title, but so many people still called it...

"Hey, what does it matter?"

Unfortunately, Hanako didn't pay any attention to Orochimaru's words.

The older girl waved her hand, covered her mouth with a smile, and reached out to touch Orochimaru's head.

"I am ten years older than you, so you are Orochimaru in my eyes! And this title is so cute and cute. Orochimaru sounds much better!"

"...It's up to you."

Orochimaru had no choice but to shake his head.

There was really nothing he could do about this, after all, people had their mouths.

"Young man, I have heard everything about you."

Dr. Oak on the side coughed.

The young man with a Chinese-shaped face looked at Orochimaru with a satisfied look and patted his shoulder.

"I heard from Director Suzuki that you only used one Magikarp and used reasonable tactics to solve the problem of the Big Rock Snake's rampage. You have only been in the institute for one day and you have done such a brilliant act. I am impressed by you."

"you flatter me."

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

I didn't expect that such a small thing would spread.

It seems that there is a lot of gossip in this small research institute in this rural place.

"Uncle, it's time to get off work, so don't speak in an official tone! You'll scare people if you act seriously!"

Hanako glared at Dr. Ohki dissatisfiedly.

Then, she thought for a moment, took Orochimaru's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Orochimaru, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come to my house to eat. In this remote town of ours, it's rare for outsiders to come!"

Orochimaru hesitated slightly.

"Is that okay?" he asked after a moment.

"of course can!"

Hanako was smiling all over her face. She was beautiful, but when she smiled, she looked like a flower.

"Everyone here is a guest! If you don't mind, you can stay at our house tonight!"

"Oh, you kid, you take everyone home..."

Dr. Omu on the side shook his head, but also smiled.

"We are all visitors from afar, Orochimaru, what do you think?"

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, thank you."

Things are settled.

Next, several people left the institute.

Orochimaru followed Hanako and Dr. Oki, walking in the town for a while, passing through several streets, and finally came to the second floor of a building.

This is a typical Japanese-style single-family building. The building is surrounded by a courtyard with some flowers and plants planted in the yard.

You can also see a few green elves.

"Mao Mao!"

When the owner came home, a green caterpillar crawled over affectionately and rubbed Hanako's feet.

"good."

Hanako squatted down, touched the green caterpillar's head, took out a green vegetable from the grocery basket, and watched it eat the green vegetable.

Since the development of mankind, elves have been integrated into human society.

Almost every well-off family will raise some elves, such as green caterpillars. Most people will raise one or two to clear weeds in the yard.

"This green caterpillar should be two years old."

Orochimaru stared at the body of the green caterpillar. Its body was larger, twice the size of an ordinary green caterpillar.

The growth cycle of insect elves is much shorter than that of ordinary elves, and lepidopteran elves like this are generally not unable to evolve.

After all, the caterpillar will eventually transform into a butterfly.

"Why don't you let it evolve?" Orochimaru asked, "There should be no possibility that it cannot evolve."

"Uh...it's uncle! I haven't let it evolve."

Upon hearing this, Hanako glared at Dr. Ohki resentfully.

"They say they want to observe green caterpillars, study their recessive genes, and evolve into Rayquaza, all kinds of nonsense, but I don't understand them anyway!"

"Oh, Rayquaza?"

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly lit up.

Rayquaza, that is the legendary spirit, so powerful that one unique move can destroy a city.

A weak green caterpillar... can evolve into Rayquaza?

This was the first time Orochimaru heard this statement.

"Dr. Ohki, can you tell me in detail?"

Orochimaru looked at the young man beside him with fiery eyes.

"This...well, it's not too confidential research anyway."

Dr. Ohmu hesitated for a while and nodded.

Next, he briefly explained the concept of green caterpillar evolution to Orochimaru.

To be precise, this is not research by Oak Research Institute, but research by the Sinnoh region and Dr. Yamanashi Research Institute, which involves the knowledge of elf evolution.

Dr. Oki is only good at this aspect.

Generally speaking, elves such as green caterpillars will follow the growth of lepidopteran insect elves, first evolving into armored pupae, and then evolving into Bada butterflies. Bada butterflies lay eggs and regenerate into green caterpillars... and the cycle continues. The ecosystem that makes up the green caterpillar.

However, through an accidental research, Dr. Yamanashi discovered——

A very small number of green caterpillars actually have an unknown recessive gene in their bodies.

This recessive gene is very strange. It is not the gene of an insect-type elf and does not have any characteristics of insect-type genes——

But the dragon type!

Insect elves have the genes of dragon elves?

It’s simply a fantasy!

Because none of the known insect-type elves can be classified as laying eggs in the dragon group.

But the objective facts have to be slapped in the face.

Doctors speculate that maybe green caterpillars, the elves in the entire evolutionary chain, had hybridized with dragon elves to lay eggs a long time ago, when the elves were still evolving and were not under the restriction of egg groups. A small number of green caterpillars have recessive genes from dragon elves.

So, the doctors started researching this to find out what kind of dragon-type elf gene it belonged to.

However, after comparing the genes of various known dragon-type elves, it was regretfully discovered that no dragon-type elves' genes matched this recessive gene.

Then, it is very possible——

This is the gene of the legendary elves!

Legend has it that there are many elves of the dragon type.

After various screenings, experts set their sights on Rayquaza.

The characteristics of Rayquaza are very similar to that of green caterpillars. It originally looks like an arthropod, and its body is composed of a series of body segments. It is a "distant relative" of green caterpillars.

Experts speculate that this recessive gene in the green caterpillar's body belongs to Rayquaza.

And what will it mean if this speculation comes true?

If this recessive gene is activated, maybe...

Green caterpillars can evolve into Rayquaza!

"It's incredible that something like this could happen."

After listening to Dr. Ohki's entire story, Orochimaru sighed.

Can a green caterpillar evolve into Rayquaza?

Very bold idea.

It also sounds ridiculous.

However, Orochimaru didn't think so.

Because science is originally conducted based on bold conjectures and assumptions.

There are no absolutes in science.

If so, it's just that your understanding of science is not deep enough.

"It is indeed incredible. Unfortunately, our research on green caterpillars is still in its infancy."

Dr. Oak shook his head with regret.

"It would be nice to have more detailed information. The main difficulty in this research is that we cannot capture a Rayquaza, even just one... If we can get a sample of the Rayquaza gene, the progress of the research will be great," he said. Maybe we can go further.”

"Indeed." Orochimaru nodded.

Rayquazas are said to live in the ozone layer high in the sky.

Moreover, they have been staying high in the sky, preventing humans from entering outer space.

Because Rayquaza seems to be very territorial and will attack anyone who invades its place of residence and go to great lengths to destroy them.

Modern humans have had the idea of ​​exploring the universe, but without exception, as long as they build a spacecraft, they will be blocked by these legendary spirits.

Until now, human beings have never taken a step out of the universe, so they have no way of knowing what it is like outside this planet. Some astronomical studies can only rely on subjective conjectures.

"If we can find a Rayquaza, we might be able to reveal the truth about the evolution of green caterpillars."

Orochimaru said to himself.

There is no doubt that he became interested in the research of the Ph.D.

Orochimaru decided that if there was a chance in the future... this would probably be included in his future itinerary.
