"Grete, hatching eggs is so boring... lying there and not being able to move..."
"I'll give you a complete set of communication tools. Do you want to talk more with your little aunt? Theoretically, the female dragon can't lie down all the time while it's incubating the eggs. She always has to go out and hunt for something... …”
"Gretel, hatching eggs is really boring... My aunt said that although you can go out from time to time, it is best to stay as close to the eggs as possible and feel the changes in the eggs..."
"Are you bored staying near the eggs? I'll send you a few sets of magic books. Take this opportunity to read more books and try to learn one or two more magics?"
"Grete..." Grete simply didn't know whether Cerela was hatching the eggs or he was hatching the eggs.
When Cerira was researching with him before, although they were often together, she didn't talk much and spent most of her time busy; now she was alone and went to a simple dragon's nest to hatch eggs. , but I can’t finish talking all day long.
How is the work, how is the mental journey of learning magic, how is the detail of each egg, what changes are there today... In the conscience of heaven and earth, I have clearly given two people to run errands for her!
A transformation magician, who is responsible for measuring changes in the force field around Cerela, changes in the dragon's aura, and seeing through those dragon eggs and monster eggs; a nature priest, who is responsible for recording the development process of dragon eggs and monster eggs, and Changes in their vitality.
By the way, we also need to compare the development process with the control group. Two people! Two people! Talking to Cerira and answering all kinds of questions for her, no matter what, it's enough!
But Serira insists on sticking to him... Every detail, every change, every detail has to be told to him... However, it's really interesting... If Serira is too busy, she won't get along with him all day long. If he says a word, he will feel lonely and uncomfortable!
Moreover, Serila had been incubating the eggs for seven or eight days, and she felt that her temperament had become much calmer, unlike before, where she could not stop whirring for a while.
Not only that, she has also made clear progress in terms of magic perception.
"Gretel, I feel like I can feel the changes in the dragon eggs!" In the communicator, Cerela happily took credit: "I seem to be able to feel these little guys! They are growing up little by little. Breathing bit by bit, absorbing energy bit by bit... When they stay with me, they can really establish a connection with me, and then they can grow better..."
"Can they really grow better?" Grete also became curious: "Are you sure they can establish a connection with you? Is it because they have established a connection with you that they can grow better?"
"That's for sure!" There was a sound of rubbing dragon scales in the contactor. Gretel could almost imagine Cerela happily nodding her head: "It's because they have established a connection with me! They breathe my breath, absorb my power, and use it for their own purposes, so they can grow so well!" I have a feeling that these dragon eggs can be at least one level better than their brothers and sisters!"
"So awesome!" Gretel was moved: "Then let them study it carefully! - The power fluctuations around you and the nature of the dragon's aura must be studied carefully in order to decipher the mysteries!"
"Then what do I do?"
"You don't have to do anything!" Gretel said decisively: "Just hatch the eggs and feel the changes in these eggs. Others will do the other work!" Well, is the dragon's aura sufficient for the hatching of dragon eggs? conditions, this is a question worth studying.
If the dragon eggs must be in the dragon's nest to feel the dragon's aura in order to hatch well, that means that much of the later work, such as chromosome enhancement of the dragon eggs, needs to be done in the dragon's nest.
And like Serila's aunt, even her own niece is not allowed to take a look at the dragon's nest from a distance. If the mages are allowed to enter the dragon's nest, get close to the nest where the eggs are hatched, and operate on the eggs, then the possibility of the mages being allowed to operate is even smaller... Gretel pondered, writing quickly line by line. Below are the questions to be studied next.
While writing, he asked Cerela softly: "Cerela, if someone comes to the place where you hatch eggs to do chromosome enhancement on those dragon eggs, can you bear it? Will you feel particularly irritable?"
"Hmm..." The rustling sound sounded like Cerela lying down and swishing her tail: "A little bit, but it's okay... The premise is that they don't stay too long, otherwise It's very annoying...and the magic circle shouldn't make too much noise, otherwise it will be noisy..." Got it.
Even if she is pretending to hatch eggs, Cerela doesn't like to be disturbed. And if the experiment was on one's own eggs, the dragons might even attack frantically.
Therefore, before enhancing dragon eggs, it is best to have enough experimental data to prove that doing so is really beneficial to dragon eggs.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to make the dragons do things that go against their own nature...Dragon eggs...Dragon eggs...From the previous generation, it was destined that the dragon eggs would not be intelligent. What kind of experiences would they have to go through? Only through the experimental process can the Dragon Clan be sure that this kind of experiment is really effective on dragon eggs?
After all, the difference between dragons and dragon beasts lies in whether the young dragon can inherit the huge dragon heritage in just a short period of time after breaking out of its shell.
If you can take it on, you will have wisdom. If you can't take it, your brain will be burned out, and you will be a confused beast for the rest of your life... Gretel struggled for a long time and couldn't figure out the point.
Fortunately, the experimental period was long enough, allowing him to slowly check the information and slowly ask all the dragons: the gestation time of dragon eggs ranges from two months to half a year, and the incubation time ranges from half a year to two or three years. .
The pregnancy and birth time of serious dragons are even longer, and they must go through a complete cycle. For example, the emerald dragon Alize gives birth to dragon eggs, and the eggs hatch safely before the next stage of research can be carried out. .
In this process, they can use pseudo-dragons, sub-dragons, and eggs of various lizard monsters for preliminary research: "Research and compare, stronger and weaker monsters, especially those with stronger and weaker magic, they What’s the difference between the chromosomes?”
"Which chromosome positions are particularly strong?"
"If there are enough experimental materials, we can weigh them, scan the size of their brains, and estimate the weight of the brains. In extreme cases, we can even conduct dissections and compare their brains..." Gretel gave an order, and naturally there was a group of magicians. The masters - especially the necromancers who had itchy hands after doing genetic analysis every day and not doing any dissection for too long, rushed to study various warcraft.
After two months of research, a report came to Grete: "The brain development of young beasts with strong control over magic is significantly higher than that of monsters with weak magic control. The same kind of monsters, The difference in brain weight is about 1% to 3%."
"Well, does this weight difference rule out the influence of the difference in the base weight of the cubs? After all, the stronger cubs will generally have more developed muscles and heavier weight." Beside Gretel, the flying quills were slightly One stop.
On the top of the oak staff, sixteen leaves raised at the same time,
"Look" at the necromancer who addresses the morning meeting. Necromancer Dan Ding nodded: "Yes, this effect has been eliminated. The difference calculated here is based on correcting the weight difference. The difference in the actual weighed brain weight is more than 20%." Well, the weight difference between the big cub and the small cub is too big... Gretel silently shook off a cold sweat.
The necromancer continued to report: "There are more differences in the sulci of the brain... Due to the well-developed sulci, the total brain surface area of cubs with stronger magic control is more than 50% larger than that of cubs with poor control. . From this we can judge that a fully developed brain will be of great help to young animals in understanding and controlling magic." Not surprising.
A strong brain means strong thinking, and a strong thinking means strong mental strength. As for how to enhance brain development...
"The enhancement of specific chromosome points also plays a great role in the development of the cub's brain." Elder Erwin took two steps forward and placed another report in front of Gretel: "According to our analysis of the devil frog eggs , demon lizard eggs and many other animal eggs, several points have been screened out that can promote the development of the brains of young animals. Of course, these points are not necessarily applicable to the development of dragons and dragon beasts, and further research is needed ..." Gretel nodded silently.
During the previous process of transforming Dragon Blood Scrolls, they also discovered some chromosomal points that allowed the Scrolls to possess the dragon's individual magic and extremely strong mental power; however, Dragon Blood Scrolls were transformed after adulthood. Chromosome enhancement on dragon eggs can only give dragon beasts stronger spell-like abilities, but it cannot give them wisdom.
"So, let's think about it, is there any way to prove that our experiment can help increase the possibility of the young dragon's awakening?"
"Conducting experiments on dragon eggs? That's impossible. Withered seeds cannot bear fruit anyway..." Silver Dragon Andre said softly.
Beside him, the emerald dragon Alize nodded slightly, also looking embarrassed: "A dragon beast is a dragon beast..."
"Then, what about letting the dragon beast possess the dragon's soul?" The necromancers had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and immediately suggested.
Then, he was immediately denied: "It's useless, it's equivalent to using the soul to drive a demon doll. The soul is a very magical thing. It can only walk through the boundary between life and death, slowly grow in the mother's belly, and in the egg. It has to be conceived in it.”
"Then... we directly stuff the dragon's soul into the dragon egg?" The magicians in Black Crow Swamp are still obsessed with it.
This time, Emerald Dragon Tana frowned and pondered for a long time: "...It's not impossible. Although I don't know where there is a soul that can be stuffed like this... Can you submit an application and give it a try?" Gretel is not optimistic about this application. .
But to his surprise, Sky Dragon City actually approved it. Along with the approval came suggestions on how to obtain dragon souls: ...Maybe you can go to the Dragon Tomb to have a look?
