Early next morning.
The sun rises from the east, and the sky is as clear as if it had been washed by water. In the forest, many animals returned to normal after a night of madness.
The sound of "rustling" sounded, and the animals in the forest walked out, walked to the water pool at the foot of the hill, and lined up to start drinking water. Many of the animals were covered in scars, and some were missing arms and legs.
Pandora watched quietly by the waterhole without any special behavior, even though she was attacked by many crazy animals last night.
In fact, most of the animals that can come here to drink water now have not participated in the battle to attack the hill, otherwise they would have fallen under her trunk or fallen into Gregorian's flames.
After a night of craziness, all the animals behaved very honestly at this time. Even the wild boar, which usually likes to jump in line, also lined up obediently.
Pandora nodded with satisfaction, turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as she turned her head, she suddenly sensed something. She turned back suddenly and saw the wild boar "snorting" and about to push forward, while arching carefully towards her. Looking up, then looking at each other...
This time, Pandora was not used to make any moves. The wild boar that was caught in the act walked out of the team in disgrace, lowering its head and walking towards the back of the team.
Pandora stood there, looking straight at the wild boar. The wild boar was a little hairy. After waiting for a long time, it was finally her turn to drink water. She quickly took a few sips and ran away with all four legs.
Pandora then turned around and walked back to the hill.
In the clearing at the top of the hill, Richard was busy. The beast tide receded, but not many corpses were left behind. Some of them were devoured by their companions, and the other part were directly burned to ashes by Gregory.
However, the damage caused by the beast tide was not small. At least all the buildings originally built on the open land were destroyed: the windmill fell down, the mixing shaft kiln collapsed, and the shallow pool was flattened...
There is no way to stop this. After all, according to the original situation, it is impossible to defend the entire mountain.
This is a problem.
Richard frowned slowly as he inspected the damage to the building and calculated the time it would take to repair it.
Although I don't know how frequently beast tides occur, it is a threat to my own research. There is less construction now, and if it is damaged, it is damaged. But in the future, if you build a large technological building by yourself, it will be unbearable if the beast wave breaks out and Grigory is away, causing all the damage.
Just as he was thinking this, he sensed something. When he turned around, Richard saw Pandora appearing, standing aside.
His eyes flashed, and Richard said: "I have some ideas about the beast tide at night. Although I don't know how often this beast tide will break out..."
"One month." Pandora said.
"Uh, a month." Richard nodded with some understanding, "Then one month. This is considered very frequent, and every time it happens, it is considered a disaster. Although it will not affect safety, it will But it is annoying enough. Even if Gregory takes action, it cannot be completely eliminated. Just at night, several buildings I built before were damaged, and it will take a lot of effort to rebuild them. "
At this point, Richard paused for a moment, thought for a moment and continued: "We still have to find a way to prevent this kind of thing. One of my ways is to build a city wall and use energy-shaping earth-like spells to build a wall that surrounds the entire hill. The city wall. But access will become a problem, and if there are enough crazy beasts, they can completely cross the city wall by piling up.
In this case, defense is not as good as offense. The effect of the liquid oxygen bomb last night was quite good. Although it was not as good as Gregory's flame, it could clear the area instantly. In fact, some means can be used to make more powerful bombs, such as cluster bombs. But time and materials are both issues. "
"Actually, these two methods only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to completely solve the beast tide, you still need to find out the source of the beast tide. At night, I had a sense that the reason why the beast tide occurred should not be far away. The reason for that mountain." As Richard spoke, he pointed with his hand.
Pandora looked in the direction that Richard pointed and blinked.
"scare?"
"It's true, I'm sure." Richard said, "But the specific situation is not clear yet. I plan to wait until the next beast wave occurs to feel it carefully. By then, I will find out the real cause, and then Find a way to solve it once and for all. But this requires that Gregory must be there when the time comes, because when I sense it, I cannot be affected by the beast tide."
"He will be there." Pandora said with a cold face.
"That's good." Richard nodded without saying anything. He turned and walked towards the castle. When he found Pandora following behind him, his eyes flashed and he said, "I am now preparing to dissect the magic beast I killed yesterday. Biology, are you sure you want to come together?"
"..." Pandora did not answer or deny.
Richard walked directly into the room on the first floor of the castle.
This was a room that had just been cleaned and had been used as a special laboratory by Richard. At this time, the body of Silver Rabbit lay flat on the table in the laboratory.
There were many creatures affected by spiritual power yesterday, but there were very few magical creatures. Richard even suspected that the silver rabbit on the table now might be the only one. Being able to get the body of this magical silver rabbit was somewhat lucky. Of course, studying something from it was the key.
Thinking about this, Richard cleaned his hands with alcohol, put on gloves and started to dissect with a knife.
His eyes glanced at Pandora, who was standing at the door with a curious look. Without thinking much, Richard held the knife and put it on the hare's neck, and then slashed towards it.
Gently cutting the outermost layer of Silver Rabbit's quilt, Richard saw Pandora suddenly walk out.
Sure enough, it’s still unacceptable.
Richard thought to himself.
Just as he was about to continue the dissection, he saw Pandora reappear. She brought a high stool over one meter high from somewhere, walked into the room, placed it next to the table, and sat on it.
Originally, Pandora was 1.2 meters tall, which was much shorter than Richard. Now sitting on a high stool, she felt a bit condescending. Pandora propped up her chin with her hands and looked at the silver rabbit under Richard's command. Her eyes seemed to say: I'll just take a look, it's up to you.
Richard had a slight headache.
When I’m doing experiments, thinking, and researching things by myself, I still don’t like to have others around me, and I don’t like to be disturbed. Of course, in the Blue Lion Kingdom, doing experiments and explaining them to the maid was another thing, because that was teaching.
"Are you curious?" Richard asked.
"Scared." He replied noncommittally.
Richard couldn't help but shook his head, and cut the knife in his hand again. He explained aloud while swiping, trying to see if Pandora was really curious: "What you see me cutting now is this... The cortex of the Silver Rabbit is the main component of the skin.”
Pandora nodded.
"Huh." He took a breath, and the explanation voice paused slightly, and then said: "Generally speaking, the cortex can be divided into three layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Among them, the epidermis is located under the coat and is close to the The upper part of the dermis is a relatively thin part, but it has many structures, including the stratum corneum, transparent layer, granular layer, spinous cell layer, basal layer, etc.
Underneath the epidermis is the real leather, which is often used to make leather and fur panels. Generally there are structures such as fibers, matrix, and cells. It mainly gives the fur elasticity and provides a place for metabolism.
The last part is the subcutaneous tissue, which is generally composed of loose connective tissue and fat lobules, close to the sarcolemma. It has the functions of preventing heat dissipation, storing energy and resisting external mechanical impact. "
After saying this, Richard glanced at Pandora again and found that Pandora had no obvious changes in her expression, but only nodded from time to time.
Um, okay...
Drawing hard, the entire chest of Silver Rabbit was thrown away, and Richard continued to speak while pointing.
"This is the trachea, which is connected to the lungs to ensure breathing. You can see that this silver rabbit has two lung lobes on the left side, and four lung lobes on the right side, that is, two on the left and four on the right. This is different from humans. Humans They are second from the left and third from the right. Why are silver rabbits and humans both members of the class Mammalia, yet they are so different? It can only be said to be natural selection in the process of evolution."
As Richard spoke, he cut out the entire lungs of Silver Rabbit and put them into a container. Pandora sat on the high stool and continued to watch and listen, nodding her head. His expression was cold, and he couldn't say he was enjoying it, but he didn't show much disgust either. In fact, under normal circumstances, Pandora looks like this.
Richard shrugged and continued.
"Next to here is the heart, this is the left ventricle, this is the left atrium, and this is the left atrial appendage. Well, generally speaking, the atrial appendage is a part of the atrium. Therefore, it has no independent role and only participates in the electrical activity of the heart and The secretion of certain hormones... In addition, this is the coronary artery. The reason why it is called this name is very simple, because you can see that it almost surrounds the heart, much like a crown worn on the heart. And then this is... "
