How to become a mermaid

Chapter 9: Experiment Record
After the pair of sea anemones numbered 003 were successfully paired, several other pairs of sea anemones also made moves one after another.

However, it is a pity that the pair of sea anemones numbered [001] had already spit out the cells during the feeding period of Shamanleir, and both entered the sage time.

When Samantel came back after eating the fish, he found only a little remnant of tadpoles, even if they were all fished into the bottle, it would only be a quarter of the bottle.

Sea anemones are not able to reproduce all year round like human beings, they only vomit germ cells once or twice a year, and Samantel regrettably missed the first time the two sea anemones numbered [001] vomit cells.

With the lesson of [001], Samantel did not dare to slack off anymore, and kept guarding against other sea anemones, waiting for them to spit out cells.

His waiting was not in vain. A few hours later, Shamanleir obtained six bottles of fertilized sea anemone eggs by following the operation process of the pair of sea anemones numbered [003].

He marked each vial with his nails and sealed it in coral.

The fertilized eggs of these sea anemones will develop quietly in the glass bottle. After about a week, the fertilized eggs will directly develop into larvae.

During this period of time, Shaman Lair will not be idle, he needs to try a variety of sea anemone hybrid formulas.

Shaman Lair came to his sea anemone farm again. This time he selected six male plants of [Colorful Carpet Anemone] as male parents, and six female plants of [Succulent Grape Anemone] as female parents.

For the same two kinds of sea anemones, the male and female parents are different, and the small sea anemones born are also different, just like the ligers and tigons on the earth, although they are both lions and tigers, the parents are of different genders. Once exchanged, there are two completely different offspring.

Shamanleir felt that it was necessary for him to do a set of controls for the anemones as well.

The second group of sea anemones, which were also carefully selected, were numbered starting from [007], and Shaman Lair also planted them in his own sea anemone hybrid breeding base.

Shamanleir's sea anemone farm is only as big as a football field, but the range of this hybrid base is a full three nautical miles. He divided the coral reef into two parts, preparing one part for cultivating the parent sea anemones and one part for To cultivate sea anemone offspring.

Now the first generation of sea anemone offspring is not yet mature, only the sea anemone parent is growing happily here.

In addition to sea anemones and corals, there are also several large stone slabs erected in the sea anemone hybrid breeding base, which are used by Shaman Lairt to record the experimental process.

There are no paper and pens in this deep sea, Shamanleir can only record by engraving on stones like humans in the Stone Age.

It may be because mermaids are also fishes. The memory of mermaids seems to be not very good. Samantel is afraid that he will forget something, so he will record it every time he finishes an experiment.

[In 4396 of Orr's new calendar, the sea anemone hybridization experiment started. ]
[The first batch of experimental subjects were selected as colorful carpets and succulent grapes...]
[On the first day of the development of the fertilized egg of sea anemone, there is no obvious change in shape, and the color seems to be a little darker. ]
[On the second day, the size of the sea anemone's fertilized eggs increased significantly, roughly double the size of the previous day. ]
[On the third day, some gray-white fertilized eggs appeared, and they were judged to have no signs of life, and their development failed. ]
[On the fourth day, the number of gray-white fertilized eggs increased, more than half of the sea anemone fertilized eggs died, and only a few sea anemone eggs survived. The volume of the surviving fertilized eggs continued to increase, four times larger than that of the first day. ]
[On the fifth day, I seem to have found the reason why the sea anemone eggs died in large numbers. There was a small mistake in this experiment. I didn’t seem to consider the problem that the sea anemone eggs would increase in size after development. The sea anemone eggs were squeezed into the same glass bottle, which led to the death of some sea anemone eggs. ]
[On the sixth day, I divided the sea anemone eggs, but there were still large areas of death. Now the number of sea anemone eggs left is less than one percent of the first day. Why is this? ]
The records on the slate increased day by day, and the time came to the seventh day.

Shaman Lair pulled out a bottle containing fertilized sea anemone eggs from a coral reef to examine.

In the past few days, he has come to look at it every day to see if any sea anemone eggs have turned into larvae.

According to common sense, a week is enough for sea anemones to grow, but after checking today, he found that apart from another batch of dead sea anemones, none of the sea anemone eggs successfully turned into larvae.

"It's strange... Where did I go wrong?" Looking at the dwindling number of sea anemone eggs in the glass bottle, Samantel was a little puzzled.

"Shouldn't they be put in bottles? Should they be set free?" Shamanlael said to himself.

If there is no intervention, sea anemone eggs will float directly in the sea after fertilization, no matter where they float.

But the sea is so big, if Samantel can't find the little sea anemone, then what's the point of his experiment?
Moreover, there are many small fish and shrimps in the sea. If these sea anemone eggs are not protected with something, they will be eaten secretly by other sea creatures soon. It is impossible for Shaman Lear to look at these sea anemone eggs all the time .

"Gulu Gulu... If only I could learn [Bubble]." Shamanlael vomited bubbles helplessly.

The [Bubble] he was talking about was a new skill that the mermaids might awaken in Sequence Nine.

This possibility is because after entering Sequence 9, the skills of mermaids will diverge.

Before Sequence 10, almost all mermaids will awaken the same skills, which are the ones that Shaman Lair currently masters: [Underwater Breath Hold], [Tough Scales], [Summon Fish], [Call Tide], 【Charm】.

But after entering Sequence 9, mermaids can truly grow, and they will awaken different skills depending on the fish, but it is impossible for every mermaid to be the same, most of the skills will overlap.

[Bubble] is the one that mermaids comprehend most often in Sequence 9.

Just like the name, the mermaid with the [Bubble] skill can blow huge bubbles in the sea, trapping the surrounding things like a prison.

Samantel has been spitting bubbles all the time, just to let himself learn [Bubbles] in Sequence 9, so that he doesn't need any glass bottles, and can directly use his bubbles for experiments.

It's a pity that Shamanleir hasn't learned [Bubble] yet, and Alicia's Sequence 9 skill is not Bubble, but [Mirage].

There is no way, Shaman Lair can only continue to use the glass bottle.

He divided the few sea anemone eggs left in his hand into more glass bottles, so that each of them had a certain space for movement, and then carved today's experiment record on the slate.

[On the seventh day, the sea anemones hadn’t turned into larvae yet, and I lost some sea anemone offspring, but the advantage is that I can count the number of sea anemone eggs, and there are a total of 003 of them left. Among them, the descendants of sea anemone number [92] are the most, with a total of [-]. ]
[[003] is the first pair of sea anemones to reproduce. The male plant of [003] is also the male parent of the sea anemone that produces the most tadpoles. I have some doubts whether the survival rate of sea anemone eggs is as lively as that of the parent Degree related? ]
