Many changes cannot be seen from the outside and require the help of instruments.
Xiao Wu had been waiting in the medical laboratory for a long time. If it wasn't Feng Yi's birthday, he would have called Feng Yi to the basement as soon as he finished shedding his skin.
He was unable to observe Feng Yi closely when he was shedding his skin, which was a great pity. This was due to his insufficient preparation and some factors that he had not yet understood, which were beyond his knowledge.
However, Feng Yi is more active in the aspect of "I study myself", which makes Xiao Wu very happy, and he can also learn more knowledge beyond common sense from it.
The instruments in the underground laboratory are not yet complete, but they are sufficient for some basic inspections and analyses.
Feng Yi's mimicry and original forms were both examined.
Xiao Wu held the tip of his tail with great effort and said to Feng Yi, "As I expected, the traces left by the parasite are gone."
Feng Yi came back from Florida. When Xiao Wu examined him, he found some traces of parasites on his tail. Although they did not cause any harm to his body, Feng Yi was still very concerned.
He didn't care whether there were "scars" or not. Scars or not didn't matter. What he cared about were the parasites. These scars always reminded him that he was almost parasitized by parasites. When Feng Yi thought of the parasites he had seen when he was looking up information, his skin tightened.
Now, after shedding my skin, all traces of the parasites have disappeared. I don't have to worry about them anymore, and I don't have to remember them all the time.
Feng Yi was very satisfied.
The scales are more shiny.
Feng Yi couldn't understand all the data displayed on those medical instruments. It was okay if there were pictures, and he could guess a little from the combination of pictures and texts, but he might not be able to guess if there were only data.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu explained everything to Feng Yi one by one when he examined him.
"There are changes in the muscles." Xiao Wu said.
When Feng Yi was in his original form, even though his upper body looked similar to that of a normal person, examination through instruments revealed that it was different.
Take muscles as an example. Both the quantity and nature are different from those of ordinary people!
"Compared to before the molt, the muscles are more developed, and the original form is also stronger."
This kind of "well-developed muscles" does not refer to exaggerated appearance, but the powerful energy contained in them. When they are taut, they are as hard as steel. When these muscles are cleverly combined together, they are more flexible and resilient, and can withstand tremendous force, supporting the body to perform behaviors that are "limited" or "beyond the limit" for ordinary people.
For example, high-speed movement.
Feng Yi agreed after hearing this and said, "After shedding my skin, I can indeed feel that my strength has become stronger, but I don't know how to describe it."
"Well, let me put it this way." Xiao Wu looked at the data and chose the explanation that Feng Yi could understand better. "In the past, when you were fast, when you caught snakes, or crocodiles and other animals, perhaps those animals knew you were going to catch them, but you moved too fast, so even if they could detect it, they couldn't avoid it.
"Now, when you catch them, they may not even realize they've been caught. That's the difference."
After hearing this, Feng Yi understood.
Xiao Wu: "In order to see your movements clearly, I can only use an ultra-high-speed camera to shoot. Moreover, not only your hands, but your entire body is strong enough to withstand high-speed movement with greater acceleration, and ordinary people's eyes can't keep up, so it will feel like you've 'teleported'."
Xiao Wu called up some of the data and graphics obtained from the instrument's detection and explained them to Feng Yi in simpler and more understandable words.
When muscles are upgraded, bones will certainly not lag behind, as well as other organs and tissues of the body. This is an overall improvement.
Xiao Wu: "There are also bones. Let's put aside the composition and just talk about the structure. When you are in mimicry, your bone structure is similar to that of a normal human. But when you become your original form, even if your upper body looks similar to that of a human, the number and structure of the bones inside are actually different."
Xiao Wu pulled up another data table, "Combining various factors, overall... Take the gravity tolerance as an example. The gravity due to the attraction of the earth is expressed in G. The roller coaster is about 2G, which you can also understand as twice your body weight. The average person's tolerance range is about 2 to 4G. People with weaker bodies will feel severe dizziness at 2G. Some people will feel uncomfortable when they are overweight or weightless when riding in an elevator.
"Stronger ones who have received professional training, such as pilots and astronauts, usually withstand less than 4G when they are taken to space by spacecraft. Some flight segments are overloaded and will exceed 5G. In an emergency, there will be 8G or even higher. This is something that ordinary people cannot withstand. You can imagine that the body is loaded with 8 times the body weight, and it is difficult to breathe.
"But you are different. Even if it is 30G, you can not only withstand it but also handle it with ease.
"Faced with the same load and the same pressure, you may just feel it like a kitten's paw pad being gently patted, but for someone else it may be like a strong Siberian tiger punching the chest."
Feng Yi listened carefully, thoughtfully.
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, and then listed some examples that are often encountered in daily life, "For example, when a bus starts or stops suddenly, many people will feel uncomfortable and dizzy even if they can sit still.
"You are very resistant to dizziness. You can go from stillness to extreme speed, and then from extreme speed to complete stillness in a very short period of time without feeling any discomfort. But this is not the case for others. Dizziness and fainting are only minor. If this sudden change is more serious, you may suffer from fractures, damage to internal organs, or even worse."
Xiao Wu looked at Feng Yi with a serious expression, "So, if you encounter an emergency and want to save someone, please pay attention to the speed change in a short period of time. Most people can't bear it, so pay attention to safety protection.
"The way in the movies, where people are rescued at lightning speed and then stopped at another place instantly, should not be imitated. Otherwise, rescuing people will turn into sending them to hell on the spot.
"Humans are powerful, but also fragile. It's not that humans can't create manned vehicles that are faster than existing transportation or aircraft, but that the human body can't bear it."
After that, Xiao Wu added: "Of course, if there is some mysterious power beyond my common sense that can allow people to safely withstand this sudden change in speed, that's another matter."
The existence of Feng Yi and his race itself is beyond Xiao Wu's common sense.
"If there is such a mysterious power," Xiao Wu pushed up his glasses, "you can consider taking me to try it first!"
Xiao Wu is still very persistent in pursuing magical species and mysterious powers.
Feng Yi: "... I don't think there is any."
Xiao Wu's eyes were burning: "If one day you discover that you have such an ability, please tell me!"
Feng Yi responded, and then he thought of something and asked, "If that's the case, can my brain handle more problems in a shorter time?" Isn't this equivalent to upgrading the central processing unit
"Uh... That's theoretically true." Xiao Wu looked away and said uncertainly.
After all, he has not studied it, so he dare not say it absolutely.
Everyone knows that the brain is fragile and very sensitive to acceleration, but different organisms have different body structures and different tolerances, and the brain functions differently.
Snakes, for example, can strike you four or five times in the time it takes you to blink an eye, and they can withstand the start-stop changes in speed without suffering a concussion.
If a human were to endure this kind of speed change and behavior pattern, they would probably go dark and pass out completely. Whether they could wake up after fainting is another matter.
Xiao Wu had no idea how the nervous system worked under extremely high-speed conditions.
What's more, for a magical species like Feng Yi, there is even less information known about it, which can be said to be extremely scarce.
Therefore, when it comes to Feng Yi's affairs, Xiao Wu would not speak in absolute terms.
"When you bring this up, do you have any concerns or doubts about this?" Xiao Wu asked.
Feng Yi really does have it.
"Before this molting, sometimes I felt that at certain moments, instinct would act faster than the brain," said Feng Yi.
For example, the small green dragon, also known as the Mangshan lancehead viper, was caught near Yue Mountain.
He caught such a big venomous snake in a flash, and his catch was accurate and steady, but the problem was that Feng Yi had no experience in catching snakes before that!
Because the movement was so fast, the brain had not yet fully reacted.
By the time he reacted, he was already holding a two-meter-long poisonous snake in his hand!
I don’t know whether I was more confused or shocked at the time.
Ahhh, I'm holding a poisonous snake in my hand! !
Such a big triangle head!!!
How did it end up in my hands
Feng Yi still remembers that complicated and strange feeling.
After that, I caught more snakes and became calmer.
With that kind of instinct, even facing one of the top ten most venomous snakes in the world would be as easy as eating and drinking.
But the psychological impact of accidentally catching such a large and venomous snake for the first time was quite intense.
Now that Xiao Wu asked, Feng Yi briefly described the situation at that time.
After listening to this, Xiao Wu said, "You mean that your body has reacted first because of your instinct, and your body's actions are faster than your own consciousness."
Feng Yi nodded.
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "In fact, you don't need to have too much psychological burden. This is not a bad thing. In ordinary life, your self-awareness still takes precedence over your instincts, which only appear in emergencies. It is a kind of survival memory derived from genes and passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors. It can also be regarded as a special conditioned reflex."
The relay of memory involves many aspects such as DNA methylation. Even the top geneticists have not fully understood the superficial knowledge in this area, let alone the deeper problems.
"As you become stronger, your self-awareness will have more and more control. According to the existing data, your genetic mutation... your genetic development has not completely stopped." Xiao Wu said.
"So, based on this kind of mutation... development at the mutation level, can this stage be considered 'adult'?" Feng Yi asked.
Xiao Wu shook his head. "I can't decide. After all, there is no reference or standard. Moreover, as far as I know, there are obvious differences between individuals of your race. But according to the information and data I have, even if they are not adults, they are close to adulthood. Going forward, the direction of mutation will basically not change."
Every time Feng Yi sheds his skin, he will undergo changes at the genetic level. To put it simply, it is similar to cleansing his essence and marrow.
Special metabolites will be peeled off and disintegrated during the molting process, and the body will be strengthened on the original basis instead of differentiating in other directions. For example, venom will have changes in toxicity, but its general properties will not change.
After the examination, Feng Yi did not rush to put on his clothes. He maintained his original posture, looked at himself carefully in the large floor-length mirror, and then looked at his back muscles sideways.
Xiao Wu looked at the creature in front of him, still amazed: such smooth lines, such a magical body, such a powerful and mysterious physique...
Just as I was sighing, I heard Feng Yi say—
“It would be a shame not to use cupping!”
Xiao Wu: “…”
Xiao Wu:
Although I have known for a long time that this boss's thinking is a bit eccentric, it is still difficult to follow his logic when I first hear it.
Xiao Wu was silent.
This silence also means that the private doctor does not agree with Feng Yi using cupping right after shedding his skin.
Feng Yi mentioned cupping just to see if the meridians, tendons and skin could benefit from the negative pressure suction. Of course, he also knew that Xiao Wu had explained last time he said he wanted acupuncture that his body structure was different from that of ordinary people, so he couldn't find the acupuncture points and couldn't achieve the same results as ordinary people.
That’s why he said it’s a pity that cupping can’t be done, instead of “try cupping”.
Feng Yi still had some idea of the situation in his mind and did not make things difficult for this private doctor.
Feng Yi didn't stay here to disturb Xiao Wu from sorting out the data. He turned back into human form, put on his clothes and went upstairs.
Standing on the second-floor terrace, you can see the koi pond below.
The rain has stopped. It will be a nice day tomorrow.
It was already dark, but this did not prevent Feng Yi from seeing.
The koi in the pond are more active and look very energetic.
These koi still look much fatter than other koi. This kind of fatness is not the kind of puffiness caused by hormones. It seems that something has temporarily changed their shape. This change will not have a negative impact on their health, on the contrary, it will have a positive effect.
For example, the texture of the meat might be a little more exotic
The Chinese merganser, which comes all the way here to spend the winter, often stares at these fat koi.
But now the Chinese mergansers have moved north to their breeding grounds, and the cover above the koi pond in the courtyard has been removed.
Seeing this, Feng Yi remembered it again.
The reason why these koi in the pond are so "fat" is that the active factors generated by energy dissipation affect the growth of these koi.
This time, more energy is dissipated during molting, and obviously more active factors are generated.
This place is not far from the stone path, and after the cover above the koi pond is removed, the area exposed to the active factors is also larger. I wonder if these koi will get fatter after absorbing so many active factors.
If you get fatter, should you just eat it
In addition to the koi, the plants in the courtyard will also undergo a new round of vigorous growth. The closer to the stone path, the more "wild" the growth.
Animals and plants will be affected to a certain extent, and humans are certainly no exception.
These active factors are beneficial to the housekeeper and Xiaojia. They will not cause obvious changes in body shape like koi, but they will also have certain positive effects.
Feng Yi looked into the distance.
Spring is here and the migratory birds are returning to their breeding grounds.
The little swans in Yongcheng also want to go north.
Well, the house over there can be renovated!
The floor tiles of the house were all cracked by him, but because the little swan suddenly flew over, the community does not recommend large-scale renovations, so now you can modify it as you like.
Feng Yi also told Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding about this. When Feng Yi goes out on a mission in a few days, he will ask them to go to Yongcheng to keep an eye on it. They don't need to follow Feng Yi all the time.
After looking at the scenery in the distance for a while, Feng Yi remembered what Xiao Wu had said in the underground laboratory just now.
It's not that humans can't create faster manned vehicles than existing transportation or aircraft, but that the human body can't bear it.
Ordinary people can’t bear it, but Feng Yi can!
When I have enough money, I will customize a car or a plane.
Speed changes need to be faster, and can accelerate and decelerate in an instant.
Only he can open it.
Well, building cars/planes is on the agenda.
