Tomorrow's Ark, please don't die

Although I don't know what kind of character Seliya is, but judging by Teresa's reaction... it must be a creature similar to the dean?

and also...

Fiatina's eyes were on Muirses's body, and Muleses showed a bright smile. She bent down slightly, and put one hand on Fiatina's horn.

"Alas!"

Fiadina was startled by Muirseth's actions, and Fiadina stepped back a few steps in a row, covered her horns, and looked at Muirses vigilantly.

This person...is very wrong!

"Oh, isn't your horn an ornament? Why are you so nervous?"

Muirseth withdrew his hand, still with a kind smile on his face, although this smile seemed a bit malicious in Fiatina's eyes.

"I am Sakota the Fallen, of course this pair is real."

Fiatina had already thought about her speech, she covered her corner and said dissatisfiedly.

"is it?"

Muirseth raised her eyebrows slightly, put her hands in her pockets, turned around,

"Then let her be, let's go, Fiatina, let's go to the ecology department."

Muirseth didn't seem to intend to get entangled in this matter, Fiadina was relieved, and hurriedly followed Muirseth's pace obediently.

Going all the way to the end of the corridor, a door with a sense of technology appeared in front of you. Muirseth tapped the lock next to the door frame with his finger, and Muirseth said suddenly,

"Fiatina, do you know what the ecology department does?"

"...to study the interrelationship between Terra's biological evolution and the environment?"

Warfarin had done homework for Fia Tina in advance, so Fia Tina was instantly given the answer. Fia Tina thought that such a research direction was not suitable for advanced medical skills and wanted to apply for another department, but Hua Falin Lin refused on the grounds of "watching carefully".

"That's right, Fiatina, but it's not enough. What we want to study is more than that—using what we've learned to alleviate people's suffering is what we really want to study."

Muirseth turned around, and just at that moment the door opened.

With the light behind her back, the girl spread out her hands, a few water splashes floated beside her, a blue butterfly appeared in the center of her hands at some point,

"Welcome to the Ecology Department, Fiatina."

Chapter 31 What exactly does the ecology department do?

"so......"

Fiatina looked at Muirseth who was already lying on the table, and sighed helplessly,

"What exactly is our job...?"

"As the saying goes, only when you have rested can you work hard."

Muleseth sprawled on the table, with his hands outstretched, looked at his fingertips,

"So our number one goal right now is to rest."

"But I didn't come to rest!"

Fiatina stomped her feet anxiously. She ran to Muirseth's side, hesitated for a moment, and pushed Muirseth's shoulder,

"Director Muirseth, do we have to do something anyway?"

"You can lie down and go whoring for wages, why not?"

Muirseth looked at Fiadina with the eyes of a fool, and the corners of Fiadina's mouth twitched.

Is this Rhinelife...really a Columbia rookie?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a pill!

"Director Muirseth, I'm here to study, not to lie flat and fish..."

Fiatina said this, and suddenly, the picture in the novel she read before flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized it.

I see!Director Muirseth hopes that he can realize the truth in the daily life of the laboratory!

Fiadina nodded approvingly, then gave Muirses a thumbs up, and then lay down beside Muirses.

"Oh? You're a quick learner."

Muirseth nodded in satisfaction. Introversion is wrong. I hope that Fiatina will learn from herself, not to fight or grab, and to be a weak and helpless little girl who just wants to survive.

Fiatina lay prone on the table, looking at the laboratory.

The ecology laboratory is not big, and Rhine Life is not strong enough to support the ecology department with funds to simulate the entire external environment.

However, there are still some relevant creatures for research, such as a few giant arthropods soaked in nutrition tanks.

It looks similar to the scorpion in Fiatina's previous life, but it is bigger. The total length of the body is about one to two meters.

"That's a needle flea."

Seeming to have noticed Fiadina's gaze, Muirseth said while lying on the table.

"Needle fleas?"

Fiatina was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, needle fleas, arthropods, arachnids, carnivorous social creatures, generally appear in deserts lacking water sources, especially near oases with water sources in deserts, and will eat the corpses of their companions when they are extremely hungry. Tail It is poisonous and will die within an hour if left untreated."

"That's it."

Fiatina's eyes sparkled. She didn't know much about ecology. She pulled Ramulets' sleeves and continued to ask,

"Then... how does it contribute to the progress of humanity?"

Fiatina asked curiously, couldn't it just take off its shell and use it as armor?That was too retro.

"poison."

Muirseth raised a finger and tapped lightly on the clean table,

"The neurotoxin extracted from the needle flea can act like an anesthetic after dilution and appropriate drug preparation. Compared with other anesthetics, the advantage is that it can take effect quickly, and the toxin can be released within seconds after being injected into the body. It paralyzes the whole body, and there are almost no side effects, and the diluted toxin does not cause any harm to the human body, and even has the effect of improving its immunity."

"so smart?"

Fiatina blinked, a little surprised.

She has learned pharmacology from Warfarin and Kelsey, but most of them are formulated from plants. She has never thought that neurotoxins that can kill people can be diluted into anesthetics.

"But the problem is—"

Fiadina immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully to Muirseth's words,

"It is difficult to capture needle fleas. To capture a live needle flea without destroying its poisonous sac, you must have a well-equipped tactical team with combat experience in desert areas. There are more than needle fleas in the desert." Fleas, there are more other organisms above the biological chain, needle fleas like to live in the ground, and the environment they live in usually leads to collapse or even quicksand due to looseness. What's more, if the dilution is not enough, even if the compounding The conditioning of other drugs can also directly kill people."

Muirseth said lazily,

"So trainee adjusters are not qualified for such a job, at least they must be regular adjusters, but in this case, what is the price?"

"In addition to the price adjusted by a normal adjuster, it is a lot of money to capture needle fleas alone, and the price of preserving needle fleas has to be counted. In the end, the price of an anesthetic may cost a civilian After a few years of storage, probably only the rich are willing to use this kind of anesthetic."

"But the problem is that it is impossible for the rich to be injured and undergo surgery every day. Even if this kind of toxin is on the market, not many people will be willing to buy it."

After Muirseth finished explaining, he continued lying down on the bed.

There are not only needle fleas in the laboratory, but not every creature can be used as a scientific research object, and more are still under research.

After passing this matter, Fiatina looked at Muirses with admiration.The head of the ecology department, who seems lazy and just wants to show off, must have done countless experiments in places he didn't know.

For such cutting-edge scientists, Fiatina has always had respect. She nodded to Muirses and stood up from the table.

"Director Muirseth, may I go and do some research on my own?"

Fiatina asked, she also wanted to make some contributions to the ecology department.

"Of course, Fiatina, you are now a researcher in the Ecology Department and have the right to conduct independent research."

Replied Muirses, she also got up from the table, put her index finger on Fiadina's lips, and closed one eye,

"Also~ Don't call me Director Muirseth from now on, it's troublesome and old-fashioned, just call me Muirseth from now on."

"...Yes, Muirseth."

Fiatina hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"smart kid."

Muleseth clapped his hands cheerfully, reached out and rubbed Fiatina's head, and said with a smile,

"Then in exchange, I'll call you Fia from now on~"

"...as long as you are happy."

Fiatina resisted the desire to complain, and the tall image she had just established in her heart collapsed. She turned around, found a familiar figure among the trainee researchers who could count with two hands, and hurried over.

"Oh."

Muleses looked at Fiadina's receding figure, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Theresa—"

"Fei, Miss Feiya?!"

Chapter 32 Where are you from?

"Teresa~ what are you doing?"

Fiatina looked at Li Boli girl in front of her with a smile.

Even though she was wearing a white coat, it was easy to be mistaken for the appearance and temperament of a student. Teresa was startled, holding the recording board, she couldn't help shrinking her neck.

"I'm doing the homework assigned to me by Director Muirseth. The subject is an alkaloid extracted from animals and plants, which can excite the central nervous system. I hope to make a drug with this effect. It can improve Li Boli's periodic sleepiness problem."

Having said that, Teresa couldn't help lowering her head in frustration,

"However, so far I have made no progress at all..."

"Periodic lethargy?"

Fiatina scratched her chin,

"How about adding an appropriate amount of caffeine to the drug? This is also one of the alkaloids extracted from plants, and it also has the effect of stimulating the central nervous system."

"No, a moderate amount of caffeine can indeed temporarily stimulate the central nervous system, but its side effects are also quite obvious. Once consumed too much, it will have great side effects on the body, and caffeine is addictive. If you stop Using it can lead to lethargy, fatigue and fatigue, and it is not suitable as a long-term drug."

"I see."

Fia Tina nodded suddenly. This is a misunderstanding. Caffeine can indeed be used as a central nervous system stimulant to treat neurasthenia, but it is not suitable for long-term use.In fact, most drugs have side effects to varying degrees, and they must not be used for a long time without a doctor's advice.

"Li Boli's cyclical lethargy is different from ordinary narcolepsy. This is their habit. Even if they slept normally last night, they will fall asleep uncontrollably due to cyclical lethargy. Therefore, it is difficult to use drugs to mediate and adjust their work and rest. things that arrived."

"Wow, it's really a difficult subject."

Fiatina clicked her tongue.

"Li Boli's periodic sleep has caused a lot of trouble to Li Boli's daily life and work. So I hope to use this as a subject to break through this difficulty."

Teresa said seriously, but then she became dejected again.

"Teresa, have you tried to find a solution from within?"

Fiatina asked suddenly.

"internal?"

Teresa was slightly taken aback.

Fiatina nodded. She raised a hand and pointed to the approximate location of her blood vessels.

"For example, add some drugs that can dilate blood vessels to improve blood supply to the brain; or use some nutrients to improve brain function?"

Teresa's eyes lit up, she immediately took out a small notebook, and wrote down all Fiatina's proposals in the notebook.

"As expected of Ms. Fei Ya, who skipped the trainee researcher and directly became a full-time researcher! She brought up so many possibilities that I never thought of before! I'll try it right now, maybe there will be progress! Thank you very much!"

"Ah ha ha......"
