Chapter 295 Biotechnology
It took some time to remove all the parts of the equipment and transport them away, and Sulun also left the basement.
Back at the ground of the ruins, Hathaway was still studying the monsters. The ruins of the ruins were almost overturned by the gray dwarves, but there was nothing valuable except this equipment.
"Have you finished your research? We are ready to leave." Sulun said, looking at Hathaway, who was still studying.
"The results are coming soon, wait for me." Hathaway said impatiently, then left Sulun there and continued her research.
Su Lun shook her head. The little girl dared to show off her husband's face. She must educate her when she goes back tonight and let her taste her newly learned Fire Dragon Stick Art. If she doesn't beat her, she will not let her call her dad.
Although Hathaway said it only took a while, it took two full hours to finish it. Finally, Hathaway finally received everything into the space bag in a category.
"After researching it? Have you found anything?" Su Lun stretched and asked.
"Do you know what monsters are growing on them?" There was an uncontrollable excitement in Hathaway's voice.
"What? Can it still be crystal?" Su Lun said with an indifferent look on his face.
"It's the magic crystal!" Hathaway's faint voice came.
"Magic Crystal... weren't you kidding?" Sulun reacted instantly when he heard Hathaway's words.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Hathaway put his hands on his chest and squeezed Xiong Er's brother a size bigger.
Su Lun's face suddenly became ecstatic: "What the monsters grow are magic crystals. So as long as we breed some of those monsters, they will automatically grow magic crystals after a while?"
"It can be done in theory, but..." Hathaway nodded and said.
"I've got rich, what kind of monsters are these? They are obviously a money-giving boy and a money-giving tree!" Su Lun's eyes shone and kept muttering to himself.
"But what?"
"I just sorted out these monsters and found that this monster was actually transformed by arcanes using some creature transformation techniques. This crystal beast has the blood genes of many other creatures." Hathaway said.
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Sulun was a little confused.
"The problem is that these monsters can only live in a specific environment. Although their genetic bloodline has been stable and can be inherited, it is done after all through manual interference. If you leave this environment, the genetic genes of these monsters will gradually weaken and eventually lose this ability." Hathaway continued.
"The other energy power field in this ruin is the main factor that guides this crystal beast to mutate. It is precisely because of the existence of this force field that those crystal beasts have reproduced to this day."
"So, we can only breed crystal beasts in this area at this time." Hathaway said, spreading his hands.
"Maybe we don't have to breed crystal beasts in this area." After understanding Hathaway's words, Sulun blinked and said. "Didn't you notice it? The strange energy field around the ruins has disappeared."
"How could this happen?" After feeling it, Hathaway's face changed drastically.
"Don't worry, I have found the production device of that strange energy and removed the entire equipment intact. As long as we find a suitable place, we can re-create an environment exactly like here." Su Lun said with a smile.
"Really?" Hathaway looked at Sulun suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I won't joke about such things." Su Lun glanced at her and said, "By the way, can this crystal beast only produce magic crystals?"
"Of course not. I just found through some research that this crystal beast actually fuses the genes of several organisms. In their bodies, I found that there are genes of Zergs, genes of Gold Eaters, and genes of some Earthling beasts."
The Gold Eater Beast is a strange creature. This creature is naturally sensitive to metal ore veins and likes to swallow various metal ores. After digestion, they will excrete undiluted metals. The metal excreted by this Gold Eater Beast is very purity and has some magical characteristics. It is a high-quality material for making many weapons and equipment.
During the Arcane Empire, many mines would breed some gold-eating beasts. Now, for various reasons, the gold-eating beasts are very rare. It is said that some gold-eating beasts are also raised in the Hill Dwarf Kingdom, which makes the Hill Dwarf Kingdom create high-quality weapons and equipment every time.
"They still have the genes of Zerg?" Sulun was a little surprised. He knew the name of Zerg. In the information preserved by the wizard, Zerg belongs to a notorious race in the multiverse, and this race has strong evolutionary ability and adaptability.
There are many species of Zerg, among which the most powerful Zerg are the Arachi Zerg, the Thrall Zerg, the Panze Ant, the Viron Zerg, etc. These Zergs have one common feature, that is, their huge and despairing numbers.
If any Zerg gives them enough resources and time, they will develop into an extremely large swarm of insects. These swarms eat up all the planes, planets, and semi-planes they encounter, and when there is no resources, they will move towards the next target.
These insects have no independent consciousness, and all consciousness is linked to the brainworm or the master and the queen of ant. If you want to defeat these sufficiently, the best way is to kill the brainworm, the master or the queen of ant, and then destroy the breeding area and finally clean up the huge Zergs.
Because the insect swarm has only one brain worm, and as long as it is killed, the insect swarm is equivalent to losing its brain, and some insects that have lost control will even kill each other. After losing their brains, these insects will lose their wisdom and also lose their unified command, turning into a ball of loose sand that can be defeated by people.
If the breeding area is lost, the number of Zergs will not increase again. Moreover, because the brainworms are lost, those Zergs will not cultivate their own mother insects. They will eventually be slowly wiped out.
In fact, the wisdom of a brain worm is stronger than that of many humans. When facing the Zerg, you may even feel that you are fighting with a master of strategy and tactics. Of course, the wisdom of brain worms or dominating them is not static. They have strong learning ability and will learn from the battles that they do not care about. If the brain worms cannot be solved for a short time, the consequences will be very serious.
Su Lun was also shocked when he heard that these crystal beasts actually possess the genes of the Zerg.
"Don't worry, the genes of this Zerg will not evolve and mutate, nor will they become female insects." Hathaway understood Sulun's concerns and directly told the result.
"Because of the Zerg genes, several other genes on these crystal beasts were fused. Without the effect of Zerg gene swallowing and fusion, this kind of crystal beast could not be made."
"What a magical biological transformation technology." Su Lun said in surprise.
"But don't be too happy too early," Hathaway continued: "The magic crystals bred from this crystal beast are in medium and low-level magic crystals. As for the advanced magic crystals, they cannot be fertilized."
"I think ancient arcanes should have used this method to make magic crystals."
"Medium and low magic crystals are fine." Although Su Lun was somewhat regretful that he could not produce high magic crystals, it was not bad to have such medium and low magic crystals.
After all, the demand for medium and low magic crystals is very large.
Magic crystals have many uses. When building secret realms, you need to use magic crystals to make various energy pipes. In addition, after the magic crystal is ground into powder, some other materials can be added to increase the magic resistance of magic equipment.
There are also some large rune arrays that also require a large amount of magic crystals as energy channels, and even the construction of the wizard tower requires a large amount of magic crystals.
Sulun has decided to build an area in his secret realm specifically for raising crystal beasts.
"What do these crystal beasts eat?" Su Lun asked.
"The crystal beasts I have solved the problem that these crystal beasts have four stomachs. The first three stomachs do not understand. These three stomachs are connected to the fourth stomach respectively. The crystal beast swallows different foods into the stomach, and then digests them through different purposes, enters the fourth stomach, and finally merges and absorbs them in this stomach, and finally grows these crystals on the surface of the body."
"Actually, I doubt whether the arcanes at the time had studied dragons, because dragons would deliberately devour a large number of metal minerals and rocks during their growth. Then some of these metal minerals and some substances in the rocks were absorbed by them and fused into the scales. This is one of the reasons why the scales of the dragon clan are so hard." Hathaway said excitedly.
"I found quartz ore, mushroom plants, flesh and blood, etc. from their stomachs, and it is not difficult to breed."
"There are not many quartz ores, about one hundred grams. The mushroom plants are the mushrooms grown nearby. These mushrooms are very toxic and hallucinogenic, but they do not feel uncomfortable when they eat them. They are really a magical creature. As long as they eat ordinary meat, they can do it."
"It is not impossible for us to collect insects or worker ants genes and then fuse them with the gold-eating beast's genes, and transform a new gold-eating beast, but the Zerg's genes are too difficult to deal with." Hathaway said with some regret.
