Wang Qi and Li Xiang were observing samples on the ninth floor of the palace.
"It should be a high-level demon. This regeneration ability is too strong." It was Wang Qi who sighed.
One of the two people observed the glass box, and the other observed the freeze-dried sections under the microscope.
"What is this oval?"
"Digestive vesicle...probably. That's a digester that only appears on single-celled organisms."
Less than 120 hours later, the tip of a tentacle that Li Xiang soaked in saline has undergone some morphological changes and evolved into a very small digestive cavity. Perhaps due to insufficient nutrition, its digestive cavity cells did not The digestive juice is secreted, but the crushed bean dregs are digested in the form of digestive bubbles, and new cells are differentiated.
The task of rescuing people in the east was not over yet, but after the demons dispersed, Li didn't think much. After sending two battalions there, she came back with several inner court guards, leaving Akeem at the scene, and then Akeem will also take them to the planned city site to plant trees.
The shape of the sample taken back is significantly different from that of normally evolved organisms.
Its cells are smaller and have lower water content.
Tissues with low water content can output greater power per unit weight, similar to the difference between the order Octopus (octopus, etc.) and the order Squamata (lizards + snakes).
As for the difference in cell size, it is a bit beyond Wang Qi's ability. To guess, it is related to the overall strength, because he and Li Xiang's observation of skin slides also found that the cells became smaller.
Then it has myelin, a nerve protective layer that only appears in vertebrates. Its main function is to speed up electrical potential conduction and avoid interference between nerve electrical signals.
But according to Li, it is not a vertebrate. Except for a few hard beaks in its mouth, there are no more than twenty identifiable pieces of cartilage in its whole body.
In this case, special research is needed to understand its living environment and other information.
However, compared with the digestive vesicles, these are not so abnormal. Wang Qi has no idea why macroscopic organisms retain the digestive methods of single-celled animals. Is it because they are often broken into pieces?
As the two of them talked, a tentacle less than ten centimeters in the double-layer laminated glass box moved and attached a new bean dregs to a certain point.
"Eh! It's a bit disgusting." Li wanted to grab his sleeve.
She said it was disgusting, but she was excited to see it. After all, it was quite novel.
Wang Qi smiled and arranged a way out for this thing: "Throw it to the research institute. There are many people there, so it can be guaranteed that someone will always keep an eye on it."
"Can't it be burned?"
"No need, this thing is quite interesting."
"What should I do if someone is killed by it in the research institute?" Li Xiang thought that this thing was quite powerful in its entirety.
"Limit the size. If it's too big, cut off part of it and make sure it's not strong enough to break the glass box."
This kind of regenerative power is a bit like that of members of the Platyhelminthes phylum, but with myelination it is much more advanced, and its degree of cell differentiation is not comparable to that of Platyhelminthes, so it has great research value.
As for what to study... I don't know. You can just keep it as a pet first. Maybe it will inspire an academician one day.
To arrange a way out for the remaining tentacles, we must also arrange matters related to the construction of the city by the people of Pettus.
He handed over the courier task to two inner court guards, and the two took a break and moved to the office with the map.
"Did you find a better address down the road?"
Li Xiang recalled what he saw on the plane and shook his head: "It's not good. Where there is water, the terrain is rugged, and where there is flat land there is no vegetation. The same goes for this area."
"The demons have spread too far, and the new city must have a barrier. It will only make them suffer temporarily for a while."
"I heard that some of them have already moved into our kingdom in advance. Aren't those people reaping the benefits?" Li Xiang felt that this group of people was a bit unlucky.
Wang Qi shrugged: "People are like this, some can seize opportunities, and some can accurately dodge all opportunities."
A group of people who leave early and join the Kingdom through regular channels will mainly settle in Green Valley and Wind Valley. Wind Valley is one of the industrial cores of the Kingdom and is also a scheduled large city. The chance of facing war is very small.
The rescued group will not survive and will have to be the most difficult group in the entire kingdom for a while.
There are not many lords in the mixed-race area who are doing well. There should be no concept of being unable to leave their homeland. It is just determined by their education level and information circulation status. Most of them dare not step out of the city where they were born to look for opportunities.
The currently arranged city address is located at one o'clock of the Black Forest Academy of Magic and four o'clock of Phoenix City based on the clock zero o'clock in the north.
Railway construction will not be considered for the time being during the city construction process, but new standard highways will be built to connect the new city and Nanzhen.
The new road standards include not only highways but also railways, widening both.
Wang Qi gave the earliest road and railway standards, which were greatly influenced by the experience of the previous life. They did not take good care of many large mixed-race people. Although they could be squeezed in by reducing the number of seats in the same row, the height was not comfortable enough.
The new standards widen the one-way road width from 3.5 meters to 4 meters, change the railway gauge from 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters, and increase the train width limit to 3.5 meters.
It is very troublesome to move the railway part. We will rebuild it together in a few years when the section from Wangcheng to Hongshi needs to be renovated.
The two main roads in New Pettus will be built first. There is no need to open another road for the Magic Academy. A gravel road will be built halfway to connect them.
The reason for the rush to build a new standard road is that the automobile factory has made great achievements in the six-cylinder engine steel casting process. The heavy industry has also mastered the centrifugal casting process and is already cooperating with them to prepare mass production machinery.
The casting process, according to the material difficulty, is cast iron, cast steel, and ductile iron. Cast iron is relatively inferior. The latter two have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ductile iron has better wear resistance.
Centrifugal casting is compared to the sand casting process and is mainly used to produce large gears, flywheels and other generally round things.
After the two processes were completed, compared with the 160-horsepower engine previously provided by the Locomotive and Locomotive Factory, only a slight change in the gear ratio was needed to produce 20 horsepower.
180 horsepower may not seem high, but on the one hand it is a diesel engine, and there is no turbocharging. The actual speed limit is below 60 kilometers, and it can already transport more than 20 tons of cargo on the road.
The goods cannot be all steel bars and plates, so longer carriages are needed.
The standard containers that have been on trains for a few years will not be available on roads for several months.
Widening the road will make it easier for large vehicles to run and reduce accidents.
The width of road cars can be allowed a little, but not too much. The width limit is from 2.5 to 2.6 meters, which is the limit. If the turning radius is too wide, urban roads will become very troublesome.
As for the mission of taking care of large-sized people, we can only find solutions from other aspects, such as not imposing restrictions on the length of the front of the car.
The debate between long-bodied cars and flat-bodied cars has never ceased since the concept of automobiles was invented. From the perspective of a little king, Wang Qi felt that long-bodied cars were more reliable.
What Wang Qi lacks most now is people. Ordinary citizens will feel distressed if they die. It would not be good if drivers, a technical profession, die on the road frequently.
To be honest, no one can guarantee the safety of the first high-power diesel engine launched for civilian use, so it is better to stay safe.
The long-head vehicle has a large blind spot and a large turning radius, but because people are not sitting on the engine, the engine area will bear the impact first in a collision, so the safety of personnel is greatly guaranteed.
The engine in the front is also more convenient for maintenance. There is no need to turn the entire cab up like a flat-top truck.
Most of the preparations for the heavy-duty trucks have been completed, and now we are waiting for one thing. I hope there will be good news before the road is built.
