Plague Doctor

That night, the senior officials of the Tianji Bureau discussed the new news brought by Zu Gejili all night long.

Tongye and the others are naturally no clearer than Gu Jun about what kind of existence the Cat of Usa is. Gu Jun’s statement is the core: it is a species with extraordinary power and cannot be treated normally, so there are many unknown risks involved in doing this favor. .

On a more personal note, will the safety of the team members who set out to perform the mission in Usa Town be thrown into the sky as Geely said?

Looking more broadly, will human civilization provoke an enemy, or an enemy cat, and it will be a very difficult one?

There are also issues that need to be considered on how to cooperate with the Mysterious Bureau.

Gu Jun also participated in the meeting and gave his own opinion: "Send a team to Usa Town first, talk to those cats as Shiyu said, and also ask the Great Elder Atal to see if they can Solve the conflict between Cat and Zuge. If Cat focuses on the grouse tribute, let’s see if we humans can help pay for it.”

If it could be resolved peacefully, it would be an alliance not only with Zuge, but also with Usa Cat.

Furthermore, Usa Town is not a dangerous place like the House of Worms, but a picturesque and peaceful town. On Earth, it could develop into a resort with tourism as its main industry, with a steady stream of tourists. Attracting young literary and artistic people looking for a pure spiritual land.

Wusha cats are very powerful, which means that their lair is very safe, and evil believers are not allowed to go wild.

A trip to Usa can be regarded as a trip, and you can also talk to Elder Atal and ask questions...

There are many reasons why it is worth taking this risk. After all, if it can produce results, it will be a very big breakthrough.

Although the senior executives tended to agree, discussions continued the next day, and several senior executives such as Zeng Chanjun from the Mysterious Bureau also joined in.

Gu Jun did not attend that day and continued to participate in team building work during the day. He accompanied Yu Chi and others to visit Chilin City, which had been rebuilt and revitalized.

In the evening, he returned to Mobei Tianji Base outside Chilin City and ran to the anatomy room.

In the past half month, since the new system came online in his mind, Gu Jun took the time to practice the newly acquired investigative ability "anatomy", so as to digest and accept the Sunset City power in his body. By dissecting the flying hydra, anatomy The experience has been increased to 15005000 (level 1 and level 9).

Although it was only a broken limb, due to the huge size of the flying polyp, even just one tentacle was larger than several complete human bodies.

Before Gu Jun got involved, the anatomy team had some achievements and unsolvable difficulties.

Neither anatomy experts like Xiao Huiwen nor people with a spell background like Cai Zixuan can decipher the biological principles of the flying polyps' roar, flight, and invisibility, just as they still can't decipher how deep divers can dive so deep. It can only be attributed to abnormal power.

The name "Flying Hydra" is indeed correct. It is not a mammal and does not have blood vessels, vertebrae and other tissues. It is temporarily classified into the phylum Cnidaria - a starting point for the evolution of higher multicellular animals.

As in cnidarians, its basic structures are the endoderm, ectoderm, and digestive circulatory cavity.

Although the tissues that can be called epidermis, muscles, and nerves can be distinguished, they are all piles of slimy colloids or fibers in the containers of the dissecting table. These alone cannot fly.

Gu Jun believes that the answer lies in its nervous system, which is why the Flying Polyp's body is full of tiny synapses both inside and outside, far more than those of ordinary cnidarians. These synapses, effectors, neurons, etc., form those natural biological miracles.

In addition, these colloids and fibers on the dissecting table are not all of the flying polyps.

Only part of it is observable matter, and there is other stuff that makes up its physiology, maybe dark matter or something like that.

Deng Ximei had this feeling at the earliest; Wang Ruoxiang also felt this way after she recovered and passed the examination and immediately devoted herself to the anatomy work.

But this is only a hypothesis, and they have no way to verify it yet.

The corpses of flying polyps put more mental pressure on dissectors than the corpses of ghouls and deep divers, so they pose a greater challenge to the dissection team. They need constant shifts and the purification of old seal stones to maintain personnel. normal state.

Under tremendous pressure, Xiao Huiwen fought at the forefront of the dissecting table for several months, scrambling to decide on the names of many tissues and organs of the flying polyps.

Many tissues and organs can be completely named by the existing names of cnidarians, such as epidermis, mesoglea, etc.

Because the structure of the flying hydra is very simple, and over a few months, the whole body has been decided on how to call it, and it has become familiar with it, and it will not be changed again.

So when she saw Gu Jun wearing protective clothing walking into the anatomy room, Xiao Huiwen smiled and felt no pressure in her heart.

There will no longer be such an unprofessional name as "scale tendons". It is scale veins, not scale tendons.

However, Lao Xiao did not expect that Gu Junling, relying on his extraordinary perception, insight, and good luck, used a microscope to find a kind of synaptic vesicle from the stomach cavity of the flying polyp. After analysis, it was indeed consistent with other Synaptic vesicles have statistically significant morphological differences.

Because synaptic vesicles themselves come in different sizes and shapes, they contain various neurotransmitters.

Moreover, the functions of the synaptic vesicles all over the body of the flying polyps are unknown, so the dissectors have not yet subdivided them.

But Gu Jun found that the synaptic vesicles in this part of the gastric cavity had almost the same shape, small black spheres, and were extremely dense.

The contractions in the stomach cavity would squeeze and collide with each other. From this, he came up with a hypothesis, "Could this be the vocal organ of the flying polyp?"

Cnidarians do not have specialized respiratory or vocal organs, and their stomach cavity communicates with the outside world through their mouth.

The same is true for the flying polyp. If its scream comes from the mouth, it is either coming from the oral area or from the stomach cavity.

Neither the autopsy team nor Gu Jun made any such suspicious findings from the mouth area.

Because of this discovery and hypothesis, Gu Jun named the synaptic vesicles in its stomach cavity "howling synapses."

Xiao Huiwen's smile was stiff, and she really had an urge to roar, roaring toward the sky, roaring toward the earth, roaring toward Gu Jun...

Can't we just... give it an anatomically professional name... articulatory synapse?

That night, Gu Jun participated in the dissection for three hours and raised his anatomy experience to 18,005,000, but still did not trigger the task.

He felt that he could still gain more experience with the Flying Hydra, but it was still early to reach the upper limit. If possible, he would like to play for a few days at a stretch.

However, on the morning of the third day when Geely brought new news, there was not much time left in the time limit required by the Lizu tribes, and the top leaders of the two worlds made a joint decision.

The two human civilizations will send a joint team into the dreamland to negotiate with the cats in Usa Town.

Love the Plague Doctor.
