Chapter 665【Biological Armor·Light Magic Circuit】

Rumble.

in the sky Spring thunder bursts , the First Stage of the 189th year of the Haiyuan calendar, the rain came a little earlier than in previous years.

Temporarily staying in the [Witchcraft Garden] on Long Island without being affected by the outside weather at all, from start to finish is the most livable state.

Trickle

Alwin’s dazzling golden liquid slowly flows from the two cylindrical glass petri dishes filled with high-energy nutrient solution in front of him. The changes are not obvious, but in the process, specific adjustments have been made to the genetic sequences of the things in the petri dishes.

At this time, this golden liquid, which was compiled by gathering all the known creatures [Golden Chain] in the hands of the “Living Chemistry School”, has undergone tremendous changes compared to the original.

It originally gathered the genetic fragments of giant dragon, thunderbird, enchanted shark, enchanted grey wolf. Alwin himself, Angie, elder sister, and Olivia’s body, the golden light seemed to faintly It is necessary to form some kind of concrete thing, just because the number of “puzzles” is still too small, it has always been difficult to see the whole picture.

But when Alwin and An Qi worked together for a whole winter, they used the energy of the [Bronze Amulet] (the life power of the Feather Serpent God) to continuously sacrifice the [Blood Holy Grail]. After analyzing the blood of thousands of strong demonized creatures in the Encyclopedia of Demonized Creatures.

Probably reached a certain critical value, and that faintly discernible thing finally revealed its true colors. It is a long spear with a double-helix-like structure, with a long helical handle but a double-edged tip.

It’s just still very illusory, it’s still far from being fully formed, and it’s even harder to predict what kind of abilities it will have after it’s fully formed. The two guessed that it was not only because the sequencing project of flesh and blood creatures still had a long way to go, but also the follow-up of elemental creatures.

However, the power of the [Golden Chain] alone to empower genetic information is already very powerful.

“Haha, it worked!”

Looking at the tumbling mercury-like liquid between the two cylindrical glass petri dishes, Alwin put away the bucket in his hand Gold liquid, smiling and clapped palms.

Olivia and Angie, who were already in the lab, immediately surrounded them.

The two girls wore the same white nightdresses and stepped on wooden slippers, bowed their graceful bodies together, blinked their big eyes and looked at these two third rank biological armors independently completed by Alwin. ——【Light and Magic Circuit】!

“teacher, although this is biological armor, it looks more like an inorganic metal than ‘venom’. Is this really made of organelles?”

This is also the key to the analysis process of the [Blood Holy Grail], and it is also another set of independent genetic material carriers in the living body other than nuclear DNA – mitochondria.

Exhausting most of the biological materials in this world, they can almost conclude:

Mitochondria are the only place where biological cells carry out aerobic respiration, and they are also commonly found in this world. An organelle in overwhelming majority organisms.

But the genetic material contained in it is completely different from the nuclear DNA in the nucleus.

Just because it is like the bacteria in the human gut that weigh more than a kilogram, they are also an outsider in nature, but they go a step further directly into the interior of the cell.

Alwin doesn’t have the energy to examine the deeper biological evolution of this world for the time being, but combined with the memory in the brain, he can generally make inferences similar to the evolution of the Blue Star.

At the time of Far Ancient Era, due to a coincidental opportunity, the oxygen produced by organisms such as cyanobacteria poisoned to death most of the microorganisms that did not need oxygen at that time, and also caused biological history. the first mass extinction.

Only a few kinds of bacteria have found their own unique method. Not only are they not poisoned to death, but they can use oxygen, a poisonous body, to generate energy and survive.

Later, one of the surviving bacteria was swallowed into the body by another ancient single-celled organism, but it was not digested and decomposed, but could continue to function in this single-celled organism.

At the same time, the single-celled organism is not only immune to being hurt by “poison qi”, but can also obtain much more energy than before, so that it can evolve more complex structures and have more Diverse functions.

In this way, we are galloping on the broad and open road of biological evolution, leaving other creatures of the same generation far behind.

And this ancient single-celled organism later became the ancestor of “eukaryotes” (including plants, animals, fungi) such as humans, and the phagocytized bacteria became cells. mitochondria within.

The ancient bacteria, which changed their name to “mitochondria”, finally reached a new “symbiotic relationship” with high-level organisms.

Mitochondria take in oxygen and fuel from the surrounding cell fluid, and let them “burn” inside, and the chemical energy used to power all the activities that require energy in the cell, which plays a role in It acts like a micro-engine inside the cell.

Therefore, in a normal human body, each cell has an average of 1000-2000 mitochondria, while in extremely energy-intensive tissues such as the heart, brain, and retina, each cell contains 10,000 mitochondria.

In the cells of physical transcenders and various demonized organisms, the number of mitochondria is exaggerated, and not only the quantity but also the quality is beyond the reach of mortals.

This is also one of the most important sources of power for many physical-side transcenders, including the [Brand Swordsman] whose root is the “life magnetic field”.

Alwin, whose physical quality has gradually reached the limit of third rank, is one of the well-known figures. Because of the specialization, he is stronger than many titled Knights who have turned to the path of will and virtue!

In addition to supplying energy, mitochondria also participate in other cellular activities, such as they can control signal transmission between cells, cell differentiation and life and death cycles, etc. In other words, improving mitochondrial efficiency can also improve cells. Vitality prolongs the life of cells.

Except for those wild wizards who do not have their predecessors to guide the way, for wizards of the orthodox wizard school, it is the norm to learn Knight’s way in the early stage.

Whether it is Olivia or An Qi, at the same time that they have reached the senior level official wizard, their physical fitness has reached a level close to the second rank peak.

But like most wizards, it’s almost there, and through the orthodox path to promotion, there’s almost no need to think about going further.

However, with the acceleration of the research progress of [Golden Chain], it provides them with a new option.

Although the generalization of the [bloodline plugin] is still far away, Alwin, based on the extreme empowerment of [Symbiosis Transformation] and [Golden Chain], has completed the achievement that surpasses all limits and is only at the peak of Second Rank. [Symbiosis Battle Armor Light and Magic Circuit] of various models of “Venom” Battle Armor.

The most important thing is that as a semi-implanted symbiote, the [Light Magic Circuit] is far more gentle than those [Activated Animal Skins] that once had independent consciousness, even if it is its own physical fitness Only two girls of Second Rank can also equip it.

In fact, this new type of equipment was tailor-made for the two of them, and it took Alwin, the high-ranking wizard, a lot of effort and constant adjustment to complete the masterpiece.

Generally speaking, in the offspring of a parent, the base sequence of mitochondrial DNA is the same. But it is also possible that there are two or more different base sequences in an individual’s body, which is called heterogeneity.

This is also common in bodies of the ordinary person class.

And there are 37 genes in each mitochondria, they only encode 13 kinds of proteins, these proteins make up the core function of mitochondria – electron transport chain! The other 1,500 proteins that make up mitochondria are encoded by 30,000 genes in the nucleus.

Therefore, there will be a problem of matching between mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA as it should be by rights, that is to say, the proteins encoded by both sides must be able to cooperate enough “tightly fit”, so that mitochondria can carry out normal energy production.

Relying on the current technology, it is of course no problem to use [Gene Hound] to directly genetically modify their somatic cells, and Olivia and Angie also trust his technology 100%.

But Alwin is very cautious about this kind of direct artificial operation on human genes.

So.

Contacting that mitochondria itself is a kind of symbionts originating from ancient evolutionary history, he simply engraved a large number of mitochondria in his body that belonged to [Brand Swordsman], and then compared their inheritance with the genomes of the two. Information has been adjusted accordingly.

While retaining strong efficacy, the adaptation rate of these mitochondria to their nuclear DNA can reach at least 96%.

It’s just that as a high-end customized product, each piece of [Symbiosis Battle Armor ·Light-Magic Circuit] requires Alwin to spend a lot of energy to fine-tune it, and it is also unique and unmatched in this world.

In addition, the main raw materials also contain the bloodline secrets hidden in their own bodies, so Alwin has no plans to produce a third one for the time being.

The same is true for the two girls. They are also insensitive to any foreign DNA other than Alwin entering their cells, even if they can be stripped at any time.

scoff——

The petri dish rose slowly, revealing the biological armor with aura in it, and turned to look at Olivia and Angie, Alwin encouraged:

“Come on, try it!”

“en!”

The two girls looked at each other to suppress the slight tension in their hearts, and then looked at the [light in front of them]. Magic Circuit] Slowly extend the hand.

Next moment, the mercury-like light quality composed of small suns slowly blends into every cell in the body along their slender fingertips.

Soon, their already lustrous, jade-like skin gradually revealed light from the inside out, woven into shimmering geometric stripe loops on the surface of their exposed skin.

And in Alwin’s “spirituality vision”, the two powerful life force fields also become more and more bright.

“Oh, it’s so warm!”

“It feels like an endless stream of power is pouring out of my body!”

Until half an hour later, Some lengthy first dresses are declared complete.

Pop—!

Alwin, with his eyes burning like two perfect works of art, snapped his fingers lightly and suggested to them:

“Let’s go, let’s practice?”

Hearing this, Olivia and Angie raised their eyebrows at the same time.
