"It’s hard to say …" Ivan shook his head slowly. "If there is structural variation at the cellular level, the final form of this creature can’t grow into this sample … even if it is an eroded monster, their cell differences are not as big as this creature."
Kelan can naturally understand the meaning of Ivan’s words. This is like building a house with two architects, one is concrete and the other is wood … As a result, there is almost no difference between the appearance and the structure of the house … It is absolutely impossible from the perspective of architecture and biology.
But this question can’t be answered only by these simple equipment in this laboratory … And it is another more straightforward thing for Kelan and Ivan to want to be confirmed.
Ivan has marked the skull of a wolf-like creature. He picked up a saw drill, took a deep breath, and then pointed the drill at a mark.
The friction between dental metal and bone suddenly rang, and both of them stared at the cutting position and even dared not breathe out of the atmosphere.
Soon a square incision with a side length of three centimeters appeared on the left side of the wolf-like creature crown.
The two men looked at each other in unison.
"The horse is about to witness the result, but I’m a little hesitant," Ivan said wryly.
"There’s nothing to hesitate about. Have we seen less irrational and strange things?" Kelan low road
"Let’s take this opportunity to pick the guesses that we just didn’t say," Ivan said. "You or me first?"
"I suspect that this creature … may not be the organ of’ brain’" Kelan said bluntly.
"It’s impossible … if there is no brain, they can be explained by common sense." Ivan shook his head again and again-they mean "brain" here, not only that to think, but also the brain, cerebellum, brain stem and other organs. These organs not only control biological thinking and movement, but also all parts of the body are so big that heartbeat and breathing are so small that hormone secretion and metabolism need these organs to give orders … Without "brain" organisms.
"Then what do you guess?" Koran looked at Ivan and asked
"I …" Ivan hesitated for half a second before saying, "Although reason tells me it’s impossible, I guess it’s the same as you … Since these creatures can’t find nerve cells partially, the brain is a kind of" finished "thing for them-since the brain sends signals to all parts of the body, even if the original brain of this creature grows, this organ will gradually degenerate."
"But," Ivan went on to say, "it’s easy to do without a brain. If there is no cerebellum and brain stem … what controls the body movement … controls its heartbeat and breathing, eating and excreting? Even a robot must have a CPU (Central Processing Unit)? "
"maybe this organ is its CPU?" Ke Lan’s forceps pointed to the cut skull and said, "Don’t you know when you hit it?"
Ivan nodded solemnly, and his finger tip of manipulator was divided into several petals, each with a slender metal probe. He inserted these needles carefully along the cut gap, gently clamped the square bone piece and slowly lifted it up …
The incision was covered with a layer of pale fascia, and the blood did not overflow due to freezing, but perhaps it was this reason that caused Kelan to have an illusion in a trance, as if they were dissecting a zombie that had not just been killed, but a zombie that had been sealed for many thousands of years.
"It’s like … it’s hard." Kelan’s tweezers poked at this layer of pale fascia, and it gave him a hard touch, which made him feel "hitched"-although the body was frozen, even the muscles were not so stiff. How could the brain tissue be as hard as a stone?
Of course, this fascia organ is the brain, not anything else.
Ivan didn’t answer the phone, but cut this thin fascia bit by bit with the help of a minimal surgical forceps and a needle pick.
Fascia things finally came out of their sight, but they also fell into silence for several seconds.
Fascia is not a frozen brain tissue, but a crystal-a polyhedral crystal with a smooth surface.
"Although there are some discrepancies with my guess, it is not bad." Kelan took the lead in breaking the silence.
"This thing … is a carbon-based creature?" Ivan corners of the mouth twitched slightly way
"Except for the brain, his parts can be regarded as carbon-based organisms," Kelan said.
"Carbon-based biological brain will be a crystal? Or … Are all these creatures robots? "
"I’m more inclined to say that the Yagunakotor Department can be imprisoned. Obviously, it won’t be a general beast." Ke Lan sighed. "So far, we haven’t figured out what this ancient warship was built for … is it a weapon, a colonial ship like the Ark, or a’ scientific research ship’ to carry out various experiments?"
Obviously, these wolf-like creatures can’t be compared with those crystallized lava rafts in the power room. The latter is more like entering a warship and finding an "extremely suitable" place to settle down and immigrate. And these wolf-like creatures are more like "artifacts" of warships deliberately kept in captivity.
But who are they in captivity? Alpha? Or … The mysterious third article that built "Agunakatore"?
At present, there is too little information at hand. It is reasonable to say that the first stage of exploration has made such an important discovery, Kelan. They should be ecstatic, but they don’t know what Kelan is, but they are not happy at all
An indescribable sense of oppression haunt him.
Just then Ivan suddenly let out a low shout. Koran hurriedly looked down and saw the original crystal surface, which was as smooth as a mirror. In just over ten seconds, it turned out to have become bumpy.
"This thing … it’s it’s degrading itself?" Ivan suddenly some unprepared "how did this happen? ！”
"Normal" Kelan nodded. "This can explain why we didn’t find this kind of crystal in those incomplete remains-because all the exposed crystals have disappeared."
"What now? Sew the fascia together? " Ivan tried to pull the fascia with crochet to wrap the crystal again, but with a little force, the fascia crystal suddenly broke into powder.
"Try freezing," said Koran, who had gone around to the other end of the autopsy table, but before he could carry the body from the autopsy, the crystal had completely disappeared, leaving a skull cavity.
"Record all these and send them back to the ark with the samples" Kelan said to Ivan, "There are not many samples left, so there is one less research opportunity for each wave … We should not have dissected rashly if we had known this would happen."
"Contact with gas will quickly degrade crystals … this is the only information we have at present." Ivan looked at Kelan. "Do you think of anything?"
Chapter five hundred and sixteen Technical support
"If you ask me now, I can also think of such a thing as’ dry ice’ … but this thing is obviously not’ dry ice’ and we have not observed white fog rising," said Kelan.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, commonly known as the old era. The most common way for ordinary people to go to dry ice is to create "smoke" on stage or in film and television dramas. In fact, this material industry is more used for low-temperature refrigerated transportation and cleaning some special equipment.
In terms of which way dry ice can play, it is inseparable from its characteristics of easy sublimation.
Ke Lan can be sure that the crystal found in the skull cavity of wolf-like creatures is definitely not dry ice, and its disappearance path is not "sublimation" or "volatilization"
The sublimation or volatilization of substances will take away a certain amount of heat, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that dry ice can generate a lot of "smoke" when sublimating, and it is also because the low temperature makes the water vapor in the gas condense into small droplets, which changes the "water vapor" observed by naked eyes into "water vapor" like white fog.
But Kelan, they not only didn’t observe the water vapor, but even the thermometer reading didn’t change significantly …
"Continue to dissect and cut the whole cranial cavity," Koran said to Ivan.
If you don’t stop doing it, you’ll have to drain the value of this sample at least.
"Well," Ivan nodded and picked up the saw drill again to enlarge the incision.
Soon the two men lifted the whole crown.
"Look, this is where the cranial cavity connects with the spine-this section of the spinal canal, too," Ivan indicated with a light.
