Chapter 83 Spiritual Adsorption

To realize the second method of artificial monsters, you first need to prepare experimental materials.

Rhodes went over the process in his mind.

This experiment requires a total of three materials. The first one is the biological prototype of the artificial monster.

To do this, he needs to have a clear purpose. He created this monster to solve the shortage of labor for arable land, that is, it can help him plow the fields.

Large animals such as cows and horses should be excluded first.

The magic concentration in the general environment is too low, and the conditions in the laboratory are impossible to succeed.

If we filter further, we will find small rodents such as ground squirrels, voles, moles, etc.

They have the habit of digging tunnels in the fields and building nests.

In theory, if they are transformed and trained properly, they can be good little farmers.

But after Rhodes considered it, he gave up quickly.

He can evolve ground squirrels into gray furnace rats by relying on the spiritual essence of the afterimage of the north.

Without the help of essence, the conditions in the laboratory still cannot meet the evolutionary needs of small animals.

After whittling down the candidate animals on the list, Rhodes set his sights on the last name.

"Cold earthworms are a special species that live in the cold regions of the North. They have excellent cold resistance and soil loosening abilities."

As an invertebrate, earthworms are small in size and simple in structure, which can greatly increase Rhodes' chances of successful transformation.

It is also responsible for the transformation of organic matter in the ecosystem and is a good helper in loosening the soil.

Frostworms are not uncommon in the North, especially at this time when the Forestry and Animal Husbandry Guild is developing swamp soil on a large scale.

Several boxes have been delivered and are placed on his material shelves.

After confirming the biological prototype, Rhodes began to prepare the remaining two materials.

They are respectively a nutrient solution that provides nutrients during cultivation, and a stimulating solution that provides an extreme magical environment.

Rhodes placed a quartz tube filled with emerald green liquid on the shelf.

This is the nutrient solution he made by extracting high-quality barley.

It can ensure that the cold-soil earthworms get sufficient nutrition during their evolution.

The preparation of the first two is not difficult, the real trouble is the stimulating fluid.

Just like in nature, a maned horse needs a baptism of ice and snow to evolve into a snow horse.

Rhodes needs to create a similar magical environment in the laboratory.

Using this magical environment to stimulate the cold-soil earthworms, which comes from the biological instinct for survival, will stimulate the growth potential of its cells and adapt to the environment in continuous evolution.

The configuration requirements of this stimulating fluid are very high, at least Rhodes has no idea at the moment.

But it doesn’t matter, the naturally evolved monsters will give the answer.

Rhodes looked at the tubes of Warcraft blood on the test bench, which contained all the stimulating fluids he needed.

According to the knowledge in the wizard's guide manual, there are many ways to separate the stimulating fluid from the blood of Warcraft.

Rhodes focused on two types, magic filter and spiritual adsorption.

The magic filter uses superb magic control to transform one's own magic into an extremely fine sieve to separate the required substances from the blood.

The advantage is that it is fast, and the disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to operate.

After studying for a long time, Rhodes, who made himself dizzy, had no choice but to give up.

This kind of master-level operation is not suitable for a novice wizard like him.

Fortunately, there is still one way left that can be done.

"Spiritual absorption, using the self-absorption effect of the magic power of the magic beast soul, using the method of rotation and centrifugation to layer the blood material."

Rhodes picked up a quartz tube on the test bench, which contained the bright red heart blood of the Icebreaker Beast.

He poured the blood into a spherical container and then opened a small wooden box.

In the center of the wooden box decorated with red velvet is a quartz bead, and the soul of the icebreaker beast after its death is sealed inside it.

Place the quartz bead into the groove in the center of the spherical container and secure it.

Rod closed the lid and began to turn the handle manually.

Driven by the handle and gear, the spherical container rotates rapidly around the axis vertically centered.

This process continued for half an hour, and then Rhodes slowly stopped.

When the spherical container came to a stop, he opened the lid.

The blood of the ice-breaking beast inside underwent a miraculous change. The area in the center surrounding the quartz bead changed from bright red to light gray.

Like a large ball of jelly, it is attached to the quartz beads.

Under the self-absorption of the soul, the magic power in the blood is gathered therein.

After the initial separation, Rhodes used [Magic Blending] to take out the light gray jelly.

It is relatively easy to separate it from other impurities.

"As for the ratio of the stimulating liquid, um, let's try the ratio of pure water to magic jelly at 10:1."

Rod pulled out a sterile quartz incubator, the size of a small fish tank.

Use a scalpel to cut off a small piece of the Icebreaker's magic jelly, put it in and add the formulated pure water to allow the magic jelly to blend in.

After finishing the first preparation of the stimulating liquid, Rhodes took out a cold earthworm from the material rack.

It is ten centimeters long, with a light brown body. After being specially treated with high-grade lavender medicine, it is placed in an incubator and completely immersed in the stimulating liquid.

When the earthworms come into contact with the irritating liquid, they react immediately.

The body kept contracting and stretching, repeating the action, and began to flutter around wildly.

Rhodes watched it carefully, and when it slowly calmed down, he suddenly reached out with a scalpel and cut it into two pieces.

When the earthworm is cut open, new cell clusters form on the cross section.

In order to close the body, the cell cluster forms a nodular regeneration bud.

This cluster of stem cell-like regeneration buds is affected by the stimulating fluid, and the original division and regeneration process is changed.

The unique magic power in the icebreaker's blood was absorbed, and the regeneration bud suddenly expanded and exploded like a balloon. "It seems that the proportion of magic power frozen is too high."

Rhodes took out the dead cold earthworm and observed the regenerated buds on its cross section.

The cells there undergo radical changes.

It doesn't feel slippery like an earthworm, but rather rough and tough like cowhide.

After recording the experimental results of the earthworm, Rod adjusted the ratio of the stimulation liquid and continued the experiment.

As he slowly reduced the proportion of magic jelly, the regenerated buds could last longer and longer after the cold earthworms were cut open by him.

Half a day of experiment passed.

Rhodes picked out one of the cold earthworms that he had cut several times, leaving only a short section as short as his little finger.

Its former body has been completely discarded, and the remaining part is the evolved part that grew out of the regenerated buds in the stimulating fluid.

Place this part of the body into the nutrient solution.

The ideal situation is that it thrives in it and regenerates into a super-cultivating earthworm that inherits the abilities of the Icebreaker.

But Rhodes was a little disappointed. After adding the nutrient solution, the earthworm quickly stopped moving.

Continuing the experiment, after a series of failed attempts, Rhodes had to stop temporarily.

He flipped through the test records in his hand and summarized the situation.

Gradually, I discovered the problem.

There is no problem with the cold-soil earthworms and the nutrient solution is also suitable. The problem lies with the stimulating solution.

It’s not a problem with the ratio of magic jelly and pure water, but that the purity of the magic jelly is not enough.

There are still many impurities in the blood of the Icebreaker Beast, which conflict with the blood of the Frost Earth Earthworm and hinder its evolution.

Magic jelly needs to be further purified.

"Increasing the rotation speed is meaningless. Separating the bloodline magic power requires a stronger spiritual absorption force."

Rhodes concluded that in order to solve this problem, he either had to collect more ice-breaking beast souls and use them to increase the adsorption capacity of the quartz beads.

Either use a higher level soul and improve the quality.

As the spiritual self-adsorption effect is improved, the purity of the obtained blood magic power will naturally increase.

Icebreakers in reality are extremely precious, and there is no place to find more souls for the time being.

Rhodes thought of the situation in the Northern Remnant, especially the dragon servants who had appeared there recently.

He felt a unique attraction towards the Dragon Servant.

That means high quality spirituality and is likely connected to his bloodline.

Research in this area will have to wait until he goes there again, so let’s not talk about it for now.

Due to a series of failed experiments, Rhodes temporarily put his experiments on the cold earthworms on hold.

He turned his attention to a newly collected material.

One of the flower pots on the material rack is emitting an orange-red fluorescent light at this moment, which is very beautiful.

"Fungi that can quickly decompose organic matter and produce light and heat, let's call you geothermal bacteria."

Rhodes took the mycelium out of the flowerpot and placed it on a clean petri dish.

This is a special fungus he found in the valley.

It also generates heat while decomposing organic matter and nourishing the soil.

Rhodes planned to use it in combination with peat to reclaim arable land in the river valley plains.

Although the effect of geothermal bacteria is not strong, it cannot raise the temperature of arable land to a level sufficient to grow ordinary crops.

But it can decompose peat, increase soil fertility, and reduce the risk of cold resistance of hybrid barley.

In fact, microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria are more likely to evolve than animals such as earthworms.

Rhodes began the experiment with anticipation.

Taking advantage of the heating properties of geothermal bacteria, he used the essence of the ash furnace rat obtained from the afterimage to purify the blood of the ash furnace rat.

This time the stimulating fluid is reddish in color.

Pour the furnace mouse stimulating liquid into the petri dish, and Rhodes carefully observed the changes in the geothermal bacteria.

If we are lucky enough and can cultivate advanced fungi that can release powerful heat, it will directly change the plight of arable land.

Using the Eye of True Vision, Rhodes observed that the mycelium of the geothermal bacteria was red and hot, and was rapidly dividing in the stimulating fluid.

He quickly added nutrient solution to ensure nutrient replenishment for mycelium division.

Unlike cold-soil earthworms, geothermal bacteria divide very vigorously.

Rhodes also felt a special place. The fire magic around the house was gathering here!
"Is this going to succeed?" Rhodes was very surprised.

There are signs of magic power gathering, which is clearly a precursor to evolution!
Is it going a bit too smoothly?

After the surprise, Rhodes was a little confused. He was indeed scared by the previous experiment with the cold earth earthworms.

It turned out that his concerns were correct.

After the flame magic power gathered towards the mycelium, a strong destructive wave suddenly emanated from the culture dish, like a bomb about to explode!

Rhodes remembered the warning in the manual.

Microorganisms are indeed more likely to evolve.

But more often than not, they are in a state of uncontrollable chaos.

For example, now!

The moment before the red light emerged from the petri dish, a sense of crisis surged in my heart.

Rhodes quickly grabbed it and threw it into the sky outside through the window with all his strength.

The next second, there was the sound of a grenade exploding outside the house, followed by the howling of White Bread after being frightened.

"So it's not evolution, it's a sign of self-destruction."

Seeing that the materials on the test bench were fine, Rhodes sat back in his seat with sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
