"The mature dragon in need of service" - the black dragon Bornhard, was really moved by me. Germ cells are not precious!
These male giant dragons don't live with their wives every day and have to pay public food every day!
Especially adult dragons and young dragons, most of them don’t even have wives yet! No matter what, he would scatter his reproductive cells on dragon beasts, demonic lizards, and various female and even male creatures in his territory.
For the common benefit of the dragon clan, it is not a problem to contribute a little to the Mage Tower! And they are black dragons.
If it is a gold dragon, silver dragon, brass dragon, etc., it may require a lot of persuasion and cajoling, as well as exchange of interests and so on.
Black dragon? How can such a thing happen to a black dragon? Either hand it over obediently, or I'll beat you until you hand it over! The key is that he really needs this research himself.
He is nearly a thousand years old and will soon enter old age. He has not impregnated his wife or any female dragon for three hundred years...not even the female creatures around him, such as cloud giants and lizards. Humans, ogres, and dragon beasts. He has not impregnated any volume or other female creature for at least fifty years.
This made the black dragon Bornhard a little nervous. Am I going to die? Am I too old?
Am I—can’t have any more children? No! Although I have lived for more than nine hundred years, lived with three female dragons, and laid five clutches of eggs, only seven of my children have survived to adulthood so far!
I want more kids! More whelps! More children means a stronger family, which means that they can seize more territory and have more resources!
Big sales and discounts during the experiment! As long as thirty germ cells are provided as experimental materials and meet the requirements, Master Nordmark will personally help with assisted reproduction!
The only problem is...
"This... mature dragons are harder to find... Can we use young and adult dragons instead?" Grete kept writing experimental ideas in his draft book.
When he heard this request, he paused his pen tip, put the pen holder against his chin, and remained silent for a long time: "...Let's do this. First, ten young dragons and ten adult dragons will line up at the mage tower, as per my request. Call the number to come in. The mature dragon... can find a few of them, if not, he can come in person..." After giving in like this, Gretel quickly got a sufficient amount of dragon essence, and, He got the answer he expected: As age increases, even among dragons, sperm motility decreases!
If it drops to a certain level, it is very likely that it will not be possible to fertilize the female dragon's eggs!
"Then what should I do?" Black Dragon Bornhard stared hard, stared hard, stared hard, until his eyes were sore, and he couldn't see through the two pieces of glass of the microscope to understand what was meant.
"Decreased sperm motility." Don’t those little dots, tiny dots, and translucent dots all look the same?
Who said his sperm motility has dropped? Use your mental power to perceive the power of life...perceive...perceive...there is no difference in perceiving it!
"Ah, there is still a way." Grete smiled calmly: "We select the more energetic sperm and then send them in to combine with the egg. We have mature magic to send them in to promote the combination. , has also achieved success with other dragons before..."
"Then, how to choose?"
"This still requires research and experimentation..."
"Then hurry up!" You don't need to tell me, I also hope to hurry up. Gretel smiled and pushed the black dragon Bornhard out, turned around and hung up the research project in the mage tower: Project goal: Separation of vital sperm.
Topic content: From a tube of semen, separate healthy, complete, energetic sperm that can move forward quickly in a straight line, and move them individually into a complete container.
Project evaluation criteria: 1. Transfer speed: The selection and transfer of all viable sperm should be completed within 30 minutes after the semen is liquefied.
2. Transfer safety: The transferred sperm should still have normal vitality after transfer, and the sperm should not be significantly damaged.
3. Transfer accuracy: The total amount of b-grade sperm, c-grade sperm and d-grade sperm in the transferred sperm shall not be greater than 10%; after the transfer is completed, the proportion of viable sperm after the remaining semen shall not be greater than 20% ; 4. Experimental cost... Detailed description of the subject... Note: 1. The ultimate purpose of this subject is to provide assisted reproduction services for high-level dragons. Therefore, researchers need to consider the corrosiveness of dragon semen; 2. Considering the dragon semen Due to the precious nature of semen, researchers are advised to replace it with germ cells of other races in the early stages; 3. This subject can be subject to competitive research, allowing multiple schools and groups to take it... Master Nordmark personally hung out The demand, of course, was immediately taken seriously by all magicians.
Almost the moment the subject was posted,
"Ding Dong",
"Ding Dong",
"Beep - beep - beep - beep", various prompt sounds rang in the ears of the magicians: There is a task!
There are important issues! Go grab it! Go grab it! Go grab it! The magician who was giving the lecture put down his courseware and rushed out like a whirlwind; the magicians who were listening to the lecture below followed suit and rushed to their respective terminals; the magicians who were doing experiments were clinking and clattering, and they were able to close the lid. Put the lid on if you can, put out the fire source if you can, stop the power if you can stop the power, one by one quickly put down their work and ran to the information center.
As for those who are halfway through the experiment and halfway through the reaction, and really can't stop, they can only look at the backs of their colleagues sadly, and then comfort themselves: "With so many people going, they may not be able to grab it!"
"If the experiment is stopped once, at least their losses will be ready!"
"The most important thing is to do the job well! Ten birds in the forest are worth less than one in the hand!"
"What happened to Little Gretel?" The Lord of Thunder also heard the continuous
"Ding ding ding" three times - came from Archmage Philby's study. After the sound rang out, his disciple stopped reporting and quickly began to swipe at the magic crystal panel. Then, his expression became very strange.
Red and white, red and white, finally,
The panel was turned off with a "snap".
"Uh...it's okay, it's just that he posted a new research topic..." Philby tried to answer calmly.
The Lord of Thunder became curious, so he pulled the magic crystal panel and scratched it: "..." I always felt that this topic had some ideas. How should I put it? It had some meaning?
in particular
"Replace with germ cells of other races"... The Lord of Thunder also crossed out the magic crystal panel without saying a word.
Just as the writing on the screen went out, another smiling face came over from the other side of the desk: "What is the topic?"
"It's a topic that has nothing to do with us..." The Lord of Thunder calmly turned off the magic crystal panel and moved it back to his disciples: "Norrell, and Philby, let's continue to discuss the accelerator's processing of extraordinary seeds. Plan..." Well, theoretically, sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs are also
A type of "seed". That little guy Gretel, I wonder if he would think of using an accelerator to handle it?
The "seed" method... Gretel's research topic really caused a sensation in the Mage Tower. There is no designated school of thought to take over the topic and conduct competitive research, which means that those who demand this topic are not sure which technical route can be adopted; then, everyone...work hard!
"I think we can give this project a try!" The head of the school of thought in the Department of Change was immediately blocked in the office by three colleagues: "Isn't it just a matter of selecting a specific material from a pile of mixed materials? Let's He’s good at it! Our alchemy branch is best at purifying impurities!”
"Although what needs to be purified this time are biologically active cells... it's not difficult at all! We have similar experience, just transplant them and use them!" Changing Department devoted himself to Grete's project with great enthusiasm. We were even divided into three groups with three different ideas.
At the same time, Archmage Morton of the Conjuration Department also rushed forward with enthusiasm: "This magic is very helpful to the naked eye in the treatment of the medical branch! With it, we can help many people give birth." Difficult patients have children! - We must win this project! In the past, the magic circle was used to refine penicillin, streptomycin, and various drugs. Adjusting the magic circle is the strength of the conjuration system!" Protection! Magicians from the Department of Charm and Control are relatively indifferent to this project.
The necromancers rushed forward desperately: "Research! You must research! It would be good to get some dragon semen by the way! Maybe it can be used for-"
"Bang!" An enhanced version of the mage's hand fell on his forehead: "If you want to think about it, don't say it! - No, you can't even think about it! When we came here, we all signed a magic contract and we can't use it. Any materials from the Dragon Clan, do things outside the scope of research! You want to kill us!" In short, one of Gretel's research topics was revealed, and half of the Mage Tower was disturbed.
The quietest ones are the magicians of the plasticity department: half of them are doing chromosome sequencing, and they are doing extremely well.
After spending so much effort before, it was easy to make a standard procedure for gel electrophoresis. The next task was to further analyze the extraordinary points of a large number of dragons; the other half were carried to Gretel's by Archmage Philby. Territory, the mage tower equipped with an accelerator - or rather, only an accelerator.
There are so many projects to study in the accelerator, and throwing 20 people into it is just a drop in the ocean! Not to mention, the Lord of Thunder has arrived, and he is personally guiding the research work of the accelerator. It is expected that there will be a lot more research projects... With such cutting-edge topics, such high-end guidance, and such rich feedback, Naturally, it is impossible for the plastic energy department to be interested in the sperm purification project.
The only thing that can disturb them is: "Hey, man, can you give me a little...hehehehe..."
"Get out!!" Researching materials is a big problem. For example, what is the source of the semen used for purification?
Animal semen? ——Stag? Male wolf? Breeding pig? Magic lizard? False dragon? Yaron? Or dragon beast?
Dragons are hard to deal with, but dragon beasts are still easy to deal with... Or maybe humans? Archmage Morton of the Conjuration Department particularly hopes to use human semen directly to transplant the results directly.
However, the magicians who can come to work on Dragon Island are already very old, and their output is very limited...
"Well, the leading stags in the herd are all of hunting age...old stags? Old stags are harder to find..."
"Male wolf? Male wolves too. Old alpha wolves will be kicked out of the pack and become wanderers after being defeated..."
"Why can't you masturbate? - Nonsense, of course you can't masturbate. It's not the estrus yet! When is the estrus of the magic lizard? How do I know? You can go to the Nature Religion opposite and ask..."
"Dragon beast! Why can't this dragon beast be pulled out..."
"Go to the Transformation Department and ask? Over there, who is the one who specializes in dragon-shaped transformation..."
"Idiot! You should ask the Charm Control Department for this kind of thing!" Boom, boom, boom, boom, the alchemists, the conjuration magicians, and the Necromancers came to the door of the Charm Control Department's laboratory. Got it right.
After hearing their request, Mrs. Alisa of the control department turned blue: "The target of our spells is people! It's people! Not dragon beasts! Not other beasts! What kind of deer, male wolf, breeding pig, you want to win? Find a way to get there!—Get out!!”
"Uh..." If you want to get rich, start with trees... No, if you want to engage in magic research, start with dragons. If you can't get dragons, then start with other animals... Magicians from other departments were sprayed He was disgraced and retreated in disgrace.
The alchemists set up a magic circle and began to purify: "First, select a high-motility sperm and put it into the magic circle as a sample, and then let the magic circle purify sperm with similar characteristics..."
"Ah! I caught at least a hundred sperm in this handful! Dilute it! Keep fishing!"
"Dilute it again! Fish it again!"
"Why is the activity getting lower and lower...Is there something wrong with the diluent?"
"How about adding some activity to it? Like, a healing spell?"
"Or add diluted holy water? 1:10 dilution, 1:100 dilution, all the way to 1:1000 dilution, use distilled water, use physiological saline, dilute with the pure liquid of semen, and then do it one by one?" If Grete had read Sperm Regarding the relevant content, Grete will tell them that there are many methods for sperm selection: upstream method, gradient centrifugation method, electrophoresis method, electrokinetic potential method, hyaluronic acid binding method, annexin V selection method, morphological selective monomer method. Sperm injection technology, microfluidic chip method and so on.
Every technology has countless details. For example, what density of centrifugal fluid was used in the earliest gradient centrifugation method?
Centrifuge ratio? How long does it take to centrifuge and what is the centrifugation speed? However, Grete knew nothing about this.
So, he could only close his eyes, pretend not to know anything, and let the magicians go crazy: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...someone help me get some dragon semen...my demon doll was stepped on" It’s broken! Is it too late to go to the Necromancer Department to borrow skeletons now..."
