Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1009 Monster and Moonlight (12)

"What's the reason?" Cheng Mo couldn't hide his astonishment. He didn't expect Athena to figure out the reason why the main body can intercept energy so quickly, so the question in his heart blurted out.

Athena didn't have any bad habits to tantalize people's appetite. She said bluntly: "Actually, I have done in-depth research on the differences between carriers, lizard people and humans before, and I was able to find a rough answer so quickly. To put it simply , Carrier muscle cells are very different from human muscle cells. The surface of carrier muscle cells is very special, divided into two sides, one side is innervated and rich in specific cation channels, and the other side is invaginated, and the plasma membrane is full of sodium pumps The functional asymmetric cells arranged in layers just form a structure similar to battery series, which can allow unlimited voltage superposition. When the carrier uses skills, the innervated cell surface has the function of nerve-controlled ion channels, When the channel is innervated and opened, a large amount of cations flow out to form an energy flow"

Cheng Mo stared at Athena. When she talked about academics, her expression was serious and focused. It reminded Cheng Mo of those academic masters standing on the podium in the auditorium. They stood on the peak of a certain discipline, or they were The mountains, men may disappear, but their names live on forever, like those immortal peaks.

He still has great respect for such people in his heart, which stems from the natural admiration of intellectuals for true knowledge, which is inevitably caused by the belief in science deep in the hearts of people like Cheng Mo.It's just that Athena's stunning beauty has greatly weakened the sense of authority and reinterpreted what it means to be indifferent to appearances.Especially recently, she was lying on the sofa watching "Crayon Shin-chan" unkempt all day long, which made it even more difficult for Cheng Mo to connect her with an academic master.

But at this moment, with Athena's professional explanation, Cheng Mo's heart involuntarily changed his cognition of Athena, and the image of the proud, ignorant, contemptuous Athena and the Goddess of Wisdom gradually overlapped. Together, let him be convinced.

"The working principle of carrier cells should be the same as that of all animal cell membranes to control the opening and closing of ion channels, but the genes involved in the functions of cell pumps and ion channels in carrier cells are all unbelievably up-regulated, and carriers can simultaneously control these cells to open ion pumps , At the same time, let a large number of ions flow in a directional manner to form an energy flow, or an energy pulse (high-speed opening and closing). In fact, human cells also have this ability, but what is lacking is the directional control mechanism. Therefore, I speculate that the principle of black magic is Strengthen the control of muscle cells through yoga exercises, and stimulate the ion pumps in cells by secreting adrenaline."

What Cheng Mo has mastered in biology is only some basic knowledge. His interest is not in cytology, but in various species on the earth. If you want to discuss plants or animals with him, from the rare Amazon jungle He can talk eloquently from the vine green fern to the sky overlord Fengshen pterosaur in the Cretaceous period.

But when it comes to cytology, Cheng Mo can barely understand what Athena said, but Cheng Mo did not give up thinking, his brain has been working hard to keep up with Athena's thinking, when Athena stopped, He said based on his own understanding: "It feels a bit like an electric eel, but the electric eel has its own electrical organs and does not need to obtain energy from the outside."

Athena nodded, "That's right, in terms of the mechanism of energy flow and storage, it is indeed a bit like an electric eel, but the potential difference between the inside and outside of the electric spot cells of the electric eel is only 0.15V, and its capacity and efficiency are comparable to those of the carrier cells. The difference is very far, not the same."

Cheng Mo doesn't care so much about the mechanism of the main body intercepting energy, what he cares about is whether there is a way to increase the energy storage capacity of the main body and the efficiency of energy interception, but according to Athena, the room for the main body to improve is quite limited, so he wrinkled Frowning, he asked, "It took 6 million years for the ancient electric eel to evolve into what it is now, and it took a total of 200 major evolutions to become the structure that can release 800-20.00 volts of voltage. In this way, it relies on black magic. It is an impossible task to make the main body reach [-]% of the carrier?"

"The specifics need more in-depth research, but the upper limit of the human body is indeed very low." Athena replied indifferently, but she was a little surprised by Cheng Mo's understanding of animals.

Generally speaking, the chosen ones will not learn these irrelevant subjects. They are of no benefit to the improvement of the chosen ones' abilities. 90.00% of the chosen ones focus on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which can directly improve combat effectiveness. Subject.Only a few, like Napoleon VII, will study history and politics based on realistic and ideal needs.For example, Athena is a noob in history and politics.

Athena answered quite affirmatively, which disappointed Cheng Mo, but he did not express these disappointments, and continued to ask: "You said that the upper limit of the human body is indeed very low. Is it true that the genes of lizard people are closer to the carrier? So the Lizardman's upper limit is very high?"

Cheng Mo's keen language capture ability and analysis ability made Athena look up at him more, she doesn't like to talk to idiots, Cheng Mo is no longer an idiot to her, "It is indeed higher than human beings, but no matter how you practice, It is also impossible for the body of the lizardman to become the same as the carrier."

"Then my organ transplant operation to become a lizardman is the most direct way to improve the degree of body carrier?" Cheng Mo asked.

"Yes, but even if it is an organ transplant, it depends on the degree of variation after the operation. There is no way to control this at present."

"What does the degree of variation mean?"

"Lizard people's cells are very aggressive, so when doing organ transplants, the recipient's DNA will be changed. The degree of change varies from person to person. We generally call people with DNA changes of more than 80.00% pure blood , and those below 80.00% are called mutants, those with DNA changes below 50.00% are considered low-level mutants, and those with more than 50.00% are called hybrids.”

"Ah? That's how they are divided." Cheng Mo was very surprised, "Then what are those lizardmen in the hospital?"

"Those guards and the living organisms in the formalin are not lizardmen, but biological robots. During the Black Death, we usually use this kind of biological robots to cultivate lizardmen's organs, but their appearance borrows from the lizardmen's." native species'."

"No wonder it's dormant." Cheng Mo suddenly realized, and he asked again: "The 'original species' refers to the most primitive lizard people?"

"Yes." Athena said blankly.

It was obvious that Athena didn't want to say more about the lizardman, so Cheng Mo didn't continue to ask, and nodded to express his understanding.At present, Athena's research has disillusioned his hope of transforming the ontology through black magic practice, but it also gave him a new path. Cheng Mo has no resistance to becoming a lizardman. If it is more beneficial for him to become a lizardman , he doesn't mind having an operation to become a lizardman under the premise of ensuring safety.

"Then do you need me to guide you to practice snake pose yoga now? We can verify from you whether the body of a dragon person is really more suitable for practicing black magic than a body of a human being." Cheng Mo said calmly, but he did not hide his eagerness at all. and purpose.

"It can be verified, you take off all the electrode patches."

Cheng Mo quickly took off all the electrode patches on his body, got off the sofa and put on his T-shirt, then turned to look at Athena and said, "Shall we start now?"

"Us?" Athena turned her head and looked at Cheng Mo, and said inexplicably, "I don't need you, you can go out."

Cheng Mo was stunned, thinking that it might be really inconvenient for him to stay, so he said resentfully: "Shall I come in after you finish putting on the electrode patches? I think my experience is somewhat useful to you. "

Athena raised her chin and said coldly, "No need."

Athena's tone of voice could easily be misunderstood as contempt, but now Cheng Mo knew that Athena was just talking more directly, and the concept of contempt might not have been in her brain, so he didn't feel any discomfort, shrugged his shoulders and said out the door.

While grabbing the handle, Cheng Mo still regretted that he couldn't stay and observe the scene where Athena practiced black magic. No matter what happened or not, at least watching Athena practice yoga would definitely be a pleasure to the body and mind.So before closing the door completely, Cheng Mo seemed to remember something, opened the door again, and was just about to speak, but saw Athena taking off her T-shirt. She closed her eyes and raised her hands. Halfway through, her jade-white and tight waist was exposed. Her waist is not slender, but the crescent-shaped waistline formed between her hip bones is really eye-catching, coupled with the obvious vest line on her abdomen Depicted a sense of flexibility to the soul-stirring lines.

The so-called bee waist is a description of such a figure, and the cheap and wide white T-shirt has also become full of styles. What is even more exciting is the extremely wrapping sweatpants. It seems that the tightly closed buds will open and bloom at any time.

At this moment, Cheng Mo's adrenaline soared wildly, and he almost spit out nosebleeds. Before Athena found out, he quickly closed the door, and shouted at the door trying to cover up: "If you can't practice, you can call me at any time. I'm at the door."

Athena in the room didn't know what thrilling mental journey Cheng Mo had gone through, and completely ignored him.

Cheng Mo's heartbeat couldn't calm down for a long time, he walked towards the beach lounger at the corner of the corridor against the sea breeze, but his mind was full of Athena's snake waist made up of two white crescent moons.He closed his eyes and lay on the canvas recliner. The sound of the waves and the warm winter sun were like gentle comfort, which made people think about it in comfort.

Cheng Mo thought: Desire is really a good thing, it is like an anesthetic, it can temporarily relieve people from pain and anxiety.
--------------------------

Because the radar and satellite navigation were turned off, the speed of sailing was much slower, which caused a lot of delay in the time when the bulk carrier entered the sea area of ​​Turchi.After entering the sea area of ​​Turchi, Captain Homero found Cheng Mo to discuss whether to reopen the radar and navigation. Xila and Turzi did not deal with it, and the relationship with the Europa League was not good, and it would definitely not help Xila. Latvia and the Europa League hunt them down.

Cheng Mo thought about it again and again, and felt that Napoleon VII should have noticed the abnormality of this bulk carrier. The Chosen One would definitely not be in the Turzi Coast Guard, and would 100% follow them into the Turzi sea area to track them. At this time, he would open the radar Or that satellite navigation is tantamount to throwing oneself in a trap.So Cheng Mo not only refused to allow Captain Homero to use the radar and satellite navigation, but instead asked him to modify the route further, detouring the Aiji sea area and heading towards Syria.

The Aiji Coast Guard is not a character to mess with, so entering the Aiji waters is also a risky thing, but Captain Homero dare not resist Cheng Mo's will at all, the Aiji Coast Guard is no stronger than it is Chosen One.Not only did he change the course immediately, but he also asked Cheng Mo if he had decided where to get off the ship.

Naturally, Cheng Mo would not tell Homero what he really thought. He said that he would be notified when the time came, and left the cockpit.In the past two days, Athena would drive Cheng Mo out to do research on black magic by herself during the day, and she didn't eat lunch, and would not allow Cheng Mo to return to her room with the dinner prepared for her until dinner time.

The third day was no different from the first two days. Athena finished eating Cheng Mo’s beef stew with potatoes, and then began to study the experimental data on the computer. Cheng Mo silently packed up the tableware and cleaned the house, and Xie Minyun had a severe compulsion to collect. Her symptoms were different, Athena never did any housework, she didn't even wash her clothes, she just threw them away after wearing them.Cheng Mo even suspected that Athena didn't go out because she didn't prepare a coat, and there was nothing extra to throw away.

Cheng Mo not only has no objection to becoming a servant, but is also willing to solve Athena's worries, allowing her to immerse herself in research. After all, the research results are also very important to Cheng Mo.

After finishing cleaning and sending the tableware back to the kitchen, Cheng Mo took the initiative to make another glass of frozen lemon cola for Athena and put it by Athena's hand.Athena, who was staring intently at the screen, heard the voice, glanced at Cheng Mo, picked up the Coke and took a sip without saying thank you to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo took this for granted, seeing that three days were about to pass, Cheng Mo didn't ask how Athena was doing with her training. Originally, he firmly believed that it was absolutely impossible for Athena to master the method of intercepting energy with her body within three days, but when Athena Na researched the mechanism in just two days, and concluded that the lizard-human body is more suitable for using "black magic" than the human body. Cheng Mo felt that this matter should be no difficulty for Athena.

He even thought that Athena might be able to master the skills he had worked so hard to discover in just one day, but Athena didn't say that she was able to intercept energy with her body until the third day.Cheng Mo didn't deliberately ask, but took the opportunity to mock Athena.Even if Athena didn't do it within three days, she was already good enough academically. Cheng Mo knew this well, so he was willing to give Athena enough respect.

Seeing that Athena didn't seem to be successful in cultivation, Cheng Mo thought for a moment silently. He didn't intend to help Athena obviously, so he pretended to remember it suddenly, and said actively: "I just recalled something, and I don't know if it will be useful to the research. no help."

Athena didn't look up, "Say."

"Before I opened the chakras and activated the Light Serpent and the Holy Grail, I did Vipassana first."

"Vipassana?"

The Zen-like Buddhist term "Inner View" seemed unfamiliar to Athena, so Cheng Mo stripped away the religious connotations and tried to use intuitive language to explain: "How should I put it, it's like an MRI image." , You have established a cognition of the internal situation of your body. Although this cognition is still very vague, you can generally feel the flow of blood and energy in your body. Especially when the secretion of adrenaline is stronger, Vipassana is more It will become clearer. Therefore, the key is to control the secretion of adrenaline, but human beings cannot control the secretion of adrenaline, heartbeat and blood flow by relying on will alone. They must rely on external stimulation, I remember that day."

Athena interrupted Cheng Mo's narration, and said lightly: "These imagery contents are useless for actual research, what I need is actual data."

Cheng Mo expressed his true feelings out of good intentions, but Athena didn't appreciate it at all, so Cheng Mo restrained a little unhappiness in his heart, shook his head and said: "There is no data." After finishing, Mo lay on the sofa no longer Too much to say, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while.

Logically speaking, they didn't talk much at ordinary times, everything should be considered normal, but Athena, who has always been slow, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and looked up at Cheng Mo who was lying on the sofa, but she didn't What to say, then continued to look down at the computer screen.

After resting for a while, Cheng Mo decided to leave the room and do the snake pose yoga exercise on the beach chair by the corridor. The reason why he didn't exercise in the room was not because he was worried about Athena, but because being in the same room with Athena would really affect his health. to exercise effectiveness.He didn't know what the reason was.

In addition, even if the upper limit of the human body is limited, Cheng Mo does not intend to give up his efforts. He is not a person who will give up easily.

Cheng Mo left the room silently. Without the influence of Athena, the effect of exercising alone in the sea breeze was not bad.Cheng Mo felt that the efficiency of intercepting energy had improved. Although such an improvement was insignificant, it was better than nothing. Moreover, Cheng Mo always believed that a thousand miles could be reached without taking a small step.

When Cheng Mo returned to the room at ten o'clock, Athena surprisingly hadn't started watching "Crayon Shin-chan" today, and was still reading some materials.Cheng Mo didn't talk to Athena, he made three ice cups as usual and put them in the refrigerator for later use, then lay on the sofa to rest.

Soon Cheng Mo fell asleep and had a dream. This dream was extremely real. He dreamed that he was standing naked under the railway bridge. There was a tremor, and someone came in and out of the convenience store not far away.He stood in the shadows and shivered, terrified that someone would walk towards the bridge hole and find him naked.

A great sense of fear surrounded him. He wanted to run away but he didn't know where to go. There were people on the left and right. He wished so much to pick up a piece of clothing, even a cardboard shell would be fine, but the ground was terribly clean.He has heard the sound of talking and laughing and footsteps, the voices of girls chatting are getting closer, he is sweating profusely, this extreme sense of insecurity has made him almost suffocate, wisdom is useless at this time.
Intense tension wrapped his heart, and he looked towards the bridge hole in anxiety. A familiar face appeared on the edge of the hazy and bright light, but the face was too vague, and he hadn't had time to panic. After seeing who it was, he woke up from the dream. He suddenly sat up from the sofa, panting heavily in the darkness.

The dream just now was so real that he blinked several times before he recovered.Realizing that it was just a dream, Cheng Mo took a breath and collected himself before looking in the direction of the desk.Athena's laptop screen shimmered, but there was no sound.

Cheng Mo took a closer look, but there was no one on the sofa chair. He turned his head to look at the bed and the bathroom, but he still didn't see Athena. This is very strange to Cheng Mo. Even if the carrier is activated, the main body should be in the room. right.He quickly got up and searched around, only to notice that Athena was standing in the corridor looking at the sea.

Cheng Mo was really surprised that Athena, who had never stepped out of the room door these days, would actually walk out of the room.Seeing Athena, Cheng Mo lay back on the sofa again. He had no intention of caring about what Athena was doing, maybe she just wanted to blow some air. In short, Cheng Mo felt that he had no reason or position to care about Athena.

He closed his eyes and planned to fall asleep again, but the inexplicable and terrible dream just now made it difficult for him to fall asleep.Cheng Mo tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he got up and went to the bathroom to go to the toilet. When walking back to the sofa, Cheng Mo glanced at Athena's laptop and saw that the player was frozen at episode 540 of the second season of "Crayon Shin-chan" .

The title of the episode is "Mom Is Dying."

He was deeply impressed by this episode of silence, and he clearly remembered the plot of that episode.Xiaoxin was watching a TV series at home, and suddenly the heroine of the TV series vomited blood, and told the male protagonist that her condition had deteriorated and she only had three months to live. The male protagonist said, "For you, I would do anything!"

This vulgar plot moved the young Xiaoxin very much, but it only made Cheng Mo find it funny.

Xiaoxin, who was full of tears, wanted to drink water after watching the TV series. He happened to see his mother drinking tomato juice. Xiaoxin thought that her mother was vomiting blood like the heroine in the TV. Then her mother said that she didn’t feel well and wanted to go to the hospital. A series of misunderstandings made Xiaoxin mistakenly think that her mother was about to die.

The panic-stricken Xiaoxin told Xiaobai about his worries, and he said in a cheap voice: "In three months, my mother will die. If my mother dies, it will be a hodgepodge of porridge specially made by my father. Look at the things my father cooked. It tastes terrible, but I still like to eat what my mother cooks."

After playing soy sauce with her friends, Xiaoxin waited for her mother who was going to the hospital for a day at the door of the house. The setting sun shone at the door. Xiaoxin frowned and sat alone on the steps. At this time, she looked happy. Xiaoxin didn't feel happy at all, but made Cheng Mo feel extremely sad.

Until the moment Meiya came back, Xiaoxin immediately ran towards her mother against the setting sun, shouting: "Mom, don't die, for you, I will do anything!"

When he saw this scene, Cheng Mo raised his hand and turned off the video. Since then, he never opened "Crayon Shin-chan", and his memories of "Crayon Shin-chan" were frozen in the second season 540 episodes of "Mom Is Dying".

Unexpectedly, today she revisited this past event, and Cheng acquiesced that all of this must not be a coincidence, and Athena definitely had something sad about her mother in the past.After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Athena in the corridor. The moon was mottled at night, and the faint sea breeze swept across the night sky. Her long golden hair was like a brocade floating like a banner under the moonlight, and her wide white T-shirt The shirt was also blown up, and just looking at the back made Cheng Mo feel that he was so refined, as if he was about to melt into the moonlight.

This picture is so beautiful that Cheng Mo is fascinated by it.

However, at this moment, he saw Athena raised her wrist, as if she had taken off something.He saw her wave her hand, and a blue light flashed in Cheng Mo's eyes, drawing an arc towards the moon.

Cheng Mo was already very familiar with the blue light inlaid with golden edging, it was Athena's Ouroboros.
