There are many cases where venomous snakes poison themselves!
Therefore, in Dr. Xiao Wu's original plan, after knowing that the venom was particularly toxic, he adopted a conservative approach.
Take the venom, reduce its toxicity and inject it into the animal's body. Then observe and wait for a while until the animal produces enough antibodies. Then do a blood test to see if the antibodies produced in its blood are sufficient to neutralize the toxin.
If successful, blood can be drawn and serum separated.
There are several other options, but no matter which one, it will not be the scene in front of us!!
Doctor Xiao Wu was stunned and stared at Feng Yi.
After Feng Yi finished biting, he stretched out his arm in front of Doctor Xiao Wu.
"look!"
To prove that the venom has become more toxic, just take a bite and you’ll know, it’s that simple!
Doctor Xiao Wu moved his eyes stiffly and took a look at the two bite marks on Feng Yi's arm.
Two sharp teeth, didn't use much force when biting, but still drew blood, two small bloody holes.
The difference is that one wound has bleeding but no obvious inflammatory reaction, while the other has redness and swelling around the wound.
Doctor Xiao Wu said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to treat your injury?"
He actually prepared some anti-snake venom serum and the like, and there were also drugs such as protease in the medicine box.
In the lab, there are medical straps and ventilators...
"Does the wound hurt? Do you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing? Do you want to use trypsin to seal the wound first?" Doctor Xiao Wu was worried.
Feng Yi looked calm, pointing at the wound on his arm, "This wound is a little numb and itchy, and the other wound has a slight burning pain, but it's okay, don't worry about it, it will be fine soon."
Doctor Xiao Wu:
Are you sure you don't want to worry about it? ! !
"Oh, it's ready." Feng Yi said.
Compared to before, the inflammation of the wound has obviously subsided and the wound has begun to heal.
Doctor Xiao Wu:!!!
Look at Feng Yi, he looks completely fine.
Look at the wound on his arm that is almost healing.
Doctor Xiao Wu took a deep breath.
It’s poisonous, it must be extremely poisonous!
He would never underestimate the toxicity of the venom!
Xiao Bing told him that the meat quality of the two chickens that Feng Yi poisoned had changed! That couldn't be caused by a mild poison!
He asked Feng Yi: "Have you... tried this before?"
"Well, there was a little reaction at the beginning, but the symptoms disappeared before I ran to the hospital, and the wound healed quickly. I didn't feel much when it was bitten later because my body developed resistance. So, the inflammatory reaction now shows that its toxicity is increasing." Feng Yi said seriously.
“…well-reasoned, courageous, intuitive and efficient, I am amazed!”
Xiao Wu was amazed again. Feng Yi was not a snake, nor a human in the traditional sense. He was different from any creature he knew. The knowledge he had mastered might not be applicable to Feng Yi.
After being amazed, Doctor Xiao Wu observed Feng Yi's wound with a strange feeling. He also paid attention to Feng Yi's breathing rate and mental state to prevent any unexpected situation.
Indeed, the wound healed very quickly. Not to mention the poisoning reaction, even if an ordinary person got a minor injury on their hand, they wouldn't recover as fast as he did!
Feng Yi's two wounds were caused by poison injected by his fangs! He didn't use any medicine to treat them!
"Your antibodies... are very strong!"
The detoxification is fast and accurate. It can be said that antibodies are quickly produced and neutralize the toxins at the moment of biting.
According to what Feng Yi just said, Doctor Xiao Wu speculated that the venom was upgrading, and the antibodies in Feng Yi's body were indeed upgrading! These need to be verified by experiments.
"It seems that there is no need for serum horses."
Directly collect the antibodies in Feng Yi's blood and neutralize the toxins with such efficiency that we don't even need to wait for several months!
The demand is not that great, so there is no need to mass-produce the antivenom for the time being.
As a personal doctor, he also has to consider Feng Yi's own safety.
The horses used to make the serum had a much shorter lifespan and were riddled with injuries.
Even though Feng Yi is different from ordinary people, he still has to be cautious. After all, there is only one... one
There is a momentary pause in thinking to think about the reasonable quantifier.
Forget it, don’t worry about the quantifier, just choose a more polite one.
Well, after all, there is only one such magical person in the world.
As a personal doctor, he also has to consider Feng Yi's own safety.
He had to see if this process would have a negative impact on Feng Yi. Not only taking blood, he also had to see if the toxin would damage his body.
Doctor Xiao Wu told Feng Yi about this analysis. After all, Feng Yi's cooperation was needed to draw blood.
"We'll take blood from you and do a blood test to see if the antibodies in your blood are capable of neutralizing the toxins. Then we'll take blood and separate the serum."
"Okay." For Feng Yi, these were not a big deal. As long as the anti-toxin serum could be produced as soon as possible, it would be fine.
The problem of the source of antibodies has been solved. Xiao Wu was also greatly shocked today and he needs to digest the existing information first.
"Do you have any other questions?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Yes, there is a question." Feng Yi had been holding back this question for a long time, "Can my venom be used to make money? Not the kind that can be traded illegally on the black market."
Dr. Xiao Wu was not surprised by this question.
"I need to conduct relevant analysis before I can tell you the exact answer."
"OK."
Feng Yi was quite satisfied with this answer.
What Dr. Xiao Wu was talking about was the analysis of the venom, not that there was no way!
In other words, if the results of the analysis are certain, Xiao Wu has a way to use these venoms to exchange for more benefits!
If Venom can make money, then the time required to purchase all the equipment listed on the list given by Xiao Wu will be greatly shortened!
There is no doubt that this will alleviate Feng Yi’s financial pressure!
After Feng Yi left, Doctor Xiao Wu looked at the newly extracted venom.
Although Xiao Bing had told him a lot about the two poisoned chickens, and how they were different from normal chicken in terms of color, aroma, and texture, he only heard about them and had not seen them with his own eyes.
So, Dr. Xiao Wu drew some of his own blood for the experiment.
Then confirm—
It’s really poisonous!
After a drop of venom is dripped in, the color and coagulation state of the blood change rapidly.
He didn't take too much of his own blood, and asked Xiao Bing to leave some fresh blood for him when he killed the chicken, so that he could do the second experiment.
That’s right! Very poisonous!
Instruments were used to analyze the toxic proteins in the venom, but the results showed a column of question marks, indicating that most of the toxic proteins in the venom were unknown.
This result was also within Xiao Wu's expectations, and he became more interested in these venoms. Of course, before the anti-venom serum was produced, he had to act conservatively.
When the housekeeper learned that blood needed to be collected to make anti-toxin serum, he asked Xiao Bing to adjust the recipe.
Feng Yi just came back from Florida and he needs to have his blood drawn again. His body must be badly damaged and he needs to be well replenished!
As a result, Feng Yi didn't lose much blood, but his appetite increased.
A week later.
The equipment that Feng Yi purchased in Virginia has arrived, and many companies started work on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Engineers come to install and debug.
With Dr. Xiao Wu here, he decides where to place the equipment. He is familiar with these instruments and does not need to see the function demonstration.
However, he still asked the installer to operate it with the test reagent, mainly for Feng Yi to see.
Feng Yi also understood what Xiao Wu meant. He could be unproficient, but he couldn't be completely ignorant!
Easy to be fooled!
After the installers left, Feng Yi and Xiao Wu were the only ones left in the laboratory.
"Since we don't need to go out to get serum, and we don't have to wait for several months for antibodies, it will save a lot of time. And with these new instruments, we will be able to produce them quickly. But..."
Xiao Wu looked serious.
"I still want to remind you that even if the serum is produced, considering the toxicity of the venom, once poisoning occurs, treatment must be sought as soon as possible. Anti-venom serum can neutralize free toxins in the body, but for organs that have been damaged by toxins, the treatment effect will not be ideal.
"The toxicity of diluted venom will be reduced, and there will be more time for treatment. But if the venom is not diluted, there may only be a few minutes, or even no time to treat it at all."
He told Feng Yi all this just to make Feng Yi aware of the situation. After all, it was a peaceful time now and there was no life-and-death war. The two fangs had no place to be used and did not need to be used frequently.
The effect of anti-toxin serum is limited, not everyone has Feng Yi's physique!
Controlling the source is the most effective defense!
Feng Yi listened carefully and said, "Well, I will strengthen the control of the venom gland."
"That's good. Do you have any other questions?" Xiao Wu asked.
"have!"
Feng Yi touched his cheek and said, "I feel my cheek is a little swollen recently. Is it caused by the changes in the venom gland? Does it take up more space?"
When the venom glands first developed, Feng Yi's cheeks were swollen. When I looked in the mirror today, I suddenly found that my cheeks seemed to be a little more swollen than when I came back before the New Year.
After listening to Feng Yi, Doctor Xiao Wu carefully examined him and used the newly arrived medical equipment.
"How is it?" Feng Yi asked.
Doctor Xiao Wu considered it over and over again, and said, "Compared to before, the venom glands haven't changed much, and the space they occupy hasn't increased significantly. I think it's probably because you've had a good rest since you came back, and you've had enough food, so you've made up for the loss in your body."
To put it bluntly, I got fat because I ate too much.
"Yeah." Feng Yi's expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of embarrassment at all, and he continued to ask, "What are the other results of the physical examination?"
"The two fangs seem to be a little bigger than before... Wait a minute, let me check the records!"
Xiao Wu checks the condition of Feng Yi's teeth every day.
Comparing carefully, it is indeed a little bigger than a week ago, but not obviously. If you just look at it roughly, you can't see the difference at all.
"Do your teeth feel any different than before?" asked Dr. Xiao Wu.
"I want to bite something more." Feng Yi said.
Recently, Xiao Bing's special teething biscuits have been consumed quickly. Moreover, after Feng Yi made a suggestion, Xiao Bing changed the recipe again and increased the hardness of the biscuits.
Xiao Wu didn't know how to deal with this situation, so he could only record it and observe slowly.
"Other than that, according to the results of the examination, you are in good health."
I'm healthy enough to catch another seven-meter python! Doctor Xiao Wu thought to himself.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'll go up first." Feng Yi said and left the laboratory.
After Feng Yi left, Xiao Wu looked at the results of the examination and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Feng Yi's bite on his arm last time would cause physical damage, but now it seems that there is really no effect, and even the wound on his arm has completely disappeared without a scar.
It's only been a few days?!
This recovery speed is far beyond the normal range!
The good news is that the production of anti-venom serum will go more smoothly.
upstairs.
Feng Yi returned to his room and searched the Internet for photos taken by the media during the Florida event and compared them.
"Really! I've gained weight!"
Think about it, during this period of time I have been staying at home, my appetite has increased and my exercise has decreased.
The venom gland is still in the transformation period, so the appetite will not decrease! Feng Yi will increase the training time.
In fact, he didn't care too much about this change. He is not in the entertainment industry now, so he is a little fatter. After a while, when the venom gland transformation period is over, he will have to go out to make money to support his family. At that time, he may not be able to eat enough every day.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi took out a reinforced teething biscuit and while grinding his teeth, he replied to the event invitations or interview information he received.
Two more days passed.
At noon, Feng Yi was having lunch.
Suddenly there was a click in his mouth.
The housekeeper noticed that Feng Yi looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Yi stood up and said vaguely: "I'm going to the bathroom."
In the bathroom, Feng Yi looked at his teeth in the mirror and saw obvious cracks on his teeth. He was shocked:
“I have a cracked tooth?!!”
Five minutes later, in the underground laboratory.
Xiao Wu checked Feng Yi's teeth while the housekeeper watched.
"It's not a cracked tooth, it's... a layer of the shell has fallen off."
Xiao Wu picked up a small piece of broken shell with tweezers.
After the crack, the broken shell on the outside of the tooth fell off faster, and after a while, three-quarters of the fang was completely shed.
The butler looked at the two teeth.
The two blindingly white fangs seemed even more arrogant than before, and released mocking light unscrupulously—
I shed my skin!
Although he had a premonition, the butler still felt quite regretful when he actually saw it.
Why can't it be replaced
Dr. Xiao Wu didn’t quite understand the housekeeper’s frustrated reaction, but the boss’s attitude was the most important.
These shells fall off and the fangs return to their original size.
"This should be an upgraded version." said Dr. Xiao Wu.
As the venom is getting stronger, it is reasonable to upgrade the fangs as well.
The most frightening thing about fangs is the word "poison", which doesn't mean they are poisonous. If they are not poisoned, they are no different from ordinary fangs.
I just wonder if the venom injection will be faster after strengthening
Or, can it spray venom like a venomous cobra
Put the fallen "shells" into a transparent box and store them in the sample room.
There is a secret sample room here where venom samples are kept for studying changing trends.
Only Feng Yi can open this place. Every time Xiao Wu wants to take a sample, he will ask Feng Yi for permission before taking it.
In addition to venom, this place is also used to store other substances that fall from Feng Yi, such as hair, scales, nail clippings, etc. Now add the shells that fall from the fangs.
"Is it true that the skin you shed cannot be preserved?" Xiao Wu was still very interested in this.
"No, it disappears directly when it sheds its skin." Feng Yi said.
"Next time you shed your skin, can I be there?" Xiao Wu wanted to try to rescue it. This kind of skin that disappears on its own after being shed is really amazing!
Feng Yi thought about it and said, "Okay."
"Excuse me, how long will it take until the next molting?"
"It should be soon." Feng Yi didn't know the exact time, but he could feel that time was approaching.
The next time Feng Yi sheds his skin, he will have to see whether the traces left by the parasites on his tail will really disappear with the molting.
After the outer shells of the two fangs had completely fallen off, Xiao Wu cleaned them and then conducted a detailed inspection.
The teeth are bright white. I don’t know if it’s because of the laboratory environment, but Xiao Wu always feels that the light reflected by the tooth enamel is a little cold.
Can't see anything else for now.
He was very curious, would it really be convenient to eat with these two teeth hidden in the mouth
If it wasn’t Feng Yi himself, he wouldn’t be able to understand it.
After peeling, do your teeth feel sore? Or itchy? Or something else
"How do you feel now?" Xiao Wu opened the notebook and prepared to record.
Feng Yi flexed his teeth and said, "Feeling? I feel like biting an alligator snapping turtle can directly break its armor."
Doctor Xiao Wu: “…”
