Chapter 1612: Legend Has It that It Is Too Difficult to Have a Child. Do You Want to Have One in Advance?
For my sister’s smile, for the scars of the world.
The eldest prince finally pinched his nose and asked his brother-in-law to pack a lot of ore and set off. ——Of course, it's not raw ore. If it were raw ore, the radioactive element content would be too low, and there would be too much ore to carry away, which would be a bit overwhelming for the Elf Ship.
What the Lord of Thunder took away was still roughly refined. As for whether these crude ores can be exploded a thousand or eight hundred times, or whether they can be exploded ten thousand or eight thousand times, the eldest prince has no idea.
In short, just don't blow it up on the heads of the elves. As for whether it's going to be blown up in the sky or on the head of the Glorious Holy See, who cares?
"Be careful and don't show off." When they were saying goodbye, he held his sister's hand and repeatedly told his brother-in-law:
"When you are desperate, just think of my sister - you don't have children yet!"
The elf ship rose from the ground and headed north leisurely. Sweeping across the sky, over the mountains, and drifting forward on the ocean currents. Gulls and herons gather together, dolphins jump, it's indescribable and refreshing.
Well, apart from the fact that the Lord of Thunder was buried in his study, constantly calculating, calculating, calculating, piling up basket after basket of paper balls, and not having much time to spend with his wife, this trip can be said to be quite enjoyable.
The dragon clan was more unhappy. The golden dragon Pierre Dolan, who is in charge of liaison, comes over every three days and asks:
"Where is the Lord of Thunder?"
"I don't know, the teacher didn't tell me."
"How long until the Lord of Thunder arrives?"
"I don't know, the schedule is uncertain. And to be honest...it's useless for me to tell you when to arrive now. The teacher may stop at any place anytime and anywhere!"
"Can you urge me?"
"You want me to rush the teacher?!"
It doesn't exist, it really doesn't exist. Not to mention that the Lord of Thunder is a legendary third-level strongman, even if he is only a half-step legend, as a student, Gretel cannot do it if he frequently urges the teacher.
"I also want the teacher to come soon...I also want...there are many problems here and we need the teacher's guidance..."
Gretel leaned his head on the back of the chair, swaying back and forth. Looking at it like that, if it weren't for the constraints of the chair, he could roll all over the floor at any time.
When the book comes to use, I will regret it. When the study becomes difficult, I will regret that the teacher is not around.
His research got stuck.
Research on putting dragon souls into dragon eggs has produced preliminary results, but they cannot be used. Several batches of dragon eggs were produced in succession, and the success rate was low. The hatched dragon hatchlings were all very weak, so weak that they could die at any time——
The necromancers were bald and scratched their scalps. They consumed manuscript papers that could fill several large tables, shredded previous experimental records, and then began to try various possibilities:
"Does the breath of the dead have too much influence on living creatures?"
This is the first and most mainstream speculation. So, they tried to move the experiment location from the second underground floor of the Mage Tower to the Nature Order's laboratory;
Use magic equipment instead of manual operations to isolate the influence of the Necromancer as much as possible;
Try parallel experiments, for example, inject the soul of the demonized lizard into the lizard eggs...
Various experiments have been run through, with no results. The young dragon either cannot hatch, or its body is still very weak, so weak that it can fall over if the wind blows.
A young dragon of this level, even if it is not created from a dragon egg but is the biological child of a giant dragon, is destined to be eliminated by nature!
"Is the injected dragon soul too strong and the dragon egg too weak, causing an imbalance between the spirit and the body?"
The necromancers began to experiment in two directions. On the one hand, divide the dragon soul, divide the dragon soul as much as possible, and divide the dragon soul into the smallest unit;
On the other hand, all imaginable methods are used, such as electrically stimulating fertilized eggs, injecting egg cell contents, energy enhancement, and chromosome directional enhancement to enhance dragon eggs.
However, no matter how many times I tried, either it could not be hatched, or the hatched dragon beast was a dragon beast that could not be awakened, or the hatched dragon was abnormally weak.
"Is it the wrong time to inject the dragon soul?"
Adjust the injection time, move forward or backward. Moving around, there is no result that can be called "progress"...
It would be fine if the experiment of injecting the dragon soul into the young dragon failed. After all, the purpose of Gretel's research was to allow the dragon clan to have as many children as possible, so that the offspring could hatch and awaken as successfully as possible.
However, in the other direction, the success rate is so low that it makes people want to cry——
It is so difficult for dragons, especially high-level dragons, to successfully conceive!
Sperm and egg cannot successfully combine!
Unable to form a fertilized egg!
The fertilized egg cannot divide successfully!
Unable to form the "mulberry ball" state, development begins!
Help!
Grete studied, studied, and studied again, trying his best to capture various high-level monsters and take out their germ cells for research.
Under the microscope, he unfortunately found that not only the high-level dragons, but also other high-level monsters, their male and female gametes were difficult to combine together——
It is extremely difficult for chromosomes to divide, replicate, and recombine. Especially those parts that shine with golden light, those extraordinary points. When the chromosomes are copied, they often break at the extraordinary points and the replication fails!
The higher the level of the monster, the greater the proportion of extraordinary points in its chromosomes. Assume that for an extraordinary point, the probability of replication failure is 1%. Then, if there are 100 extraordinary points in the chromosome, the possibility of successful replication is...
99% to the 100th power.
36.6%.
And for a single extraordinary point, the probability of replication failure is 2%?
98% to the 100th power, the success rate is 13.26%.
For a single extraordinary point, the probability of replication failure is still 1%, but what if there are more than a hundred extraordinary points? For example, what about 365?
99% to the 365th power, success rate 2.55%...
As for the results of Gretel's sampling, Udian, Senior Brother Byerbo, and Teacher, after they stepped into the extraordinary world, they had more than 365 extraordinary points.
Therefore, one can imagine the legendary low fertility rate.
For a male legend, no matter how many women there are, they can't stop the low success rate of fertilized egg replication!
Not to mention that the legendary time is also limited, and not much time is spent on producing offspring. Some legends don’t even have a woman. Some legends, like the Lord of Thunder, have only one consort.
Not to mention those female legends, the number of times a fertilized egg can try to replicate. No wonder, with the long lifespan of the Elf Queen and the strong vitality of the Nature Walker, there will only be four children in total in this life.
And the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan...
What a joke!
The complexity of dragon chromosomes is more than ten times that of humans! The number of extraordinary points is more than ten times that of humans!
Even if the amount of information contained in the dragon chromosomes is too large, a little bit is missed during the copying, and some packets are lost, it will not affect the fertilization of the fertilized egg. But if there are too many packet losses and too much information is missed, that won’t work either!
"Hmm... So how can we promote the successful replication of extraordinary points..."
Grete held her chin in thought. The direction is very clear, and it can be summed up in one sentence: energy, supplying a large amount of energy.
Based on previous experience, a large amount of energy can be supplied to the extraordinary point to maintain its extraordinary state without falling down the level;
It can allow ordinary chromosome points to evolve into extraordinary states;
Naturally, it can also increase the probability of successful replication of chromosomes at extraordinary points——
Replication requires materials. Most of those materials are in an ordinary state. When they are put together one by one, they can absorb a large amount of energy and enter the extraordinary state. Only then can they match the chain of the extraordinary state...
This is why when dragons mate, the male dragons also transfer huge energy along with their reproductive cells. The female dragon will also provide a huge amount of energy to tightly wrap the fertilized eggs, allowing them to develop in the best possible condition.
After the dragon eggs are born, they need to be hatched in different environments according to the corresponding race. Probably, maybe, maybe, it is to continue to provide the corresponding type of energy and promote cell replication.
But obviously, the dragon clan's extensive energy supply is not efficient and the success rate is extremely low.
If you want to improve the success rate, you need to analyze the relationship between energy and chromosome replication and provide a solution with a higher success rate.
"Ah...so what are we going to do..."
Gretel lay weakly in front of the experimental table. I wanted to hit the table, but unfortunately I had finally adjusted the instrument. In the end, I could only hit my thigh twice and grinned:
"What is the principle of turning an ordinary point into an extraordinary point... Why can I see golden light?
Why can it attract extraordinary power and cast spells after becoming an extraordinary point?
Why? Why? Why? "
There were so many whys, but he couldn't answer any of them. He has not even studied the nature of the difference between extraordinary chromosomes and ordinary chromosomes:
Does this difference exist at the molecular level? A certain purine or pyrimidine has one extra atom?
Or does it exist at the atomic level, where a certain atom becomes its isotope, such as carbon 12 becoming carbon 14?
Or does it exist at a more subtle level than atoms? For example, the electrons in atoms are more active and are in a transition state all the time?
Among Grete's guesses, this possibility was the most likely, but he had no way to verify it. Don't say he can't do anything, even Senior Sister Philby can't do anything——
The half-step legend is not a legend after all. Senior sister's research on electrons has not yet reached the level of electron orbits and transitions.
Maybe the teacher can do something?
But the teacher didn't come, and he was still drifting on the sea, enjoying the world of two people with his wife. Grete's conjectures are not to be relied upon. Through empty speech in electromagnetic communication, you can get guidance...
"So, these are your recent achievements?"
Brother-in-law Vaska stretched out his head and curiously flipped through the reports on his desk one by one:
"Is it very difficult to confirm that a legend has descendants?"
"yes……"
"Since it's so difficult, do you want to have a child with my sister before you reach Legend?"
Gretel choked with spit in his throat and coughed violently.
