The leg of lamb has not been liquefied since all the heterogeneous ducts in the foot cavity of the leg were cut off.
However, its abnormality has not completely disappeared, or it is such a thing, its skin is still hard, and ordinary dissection instruments can barely be dissected, but when it comes to bones and some organs and tissues, except for the Kalop instrument, others are not easy to use.
Exactly what substance causes this situation, even though the top scientific teams of the two worlds have dispatched the top scientific teams, have tried many analysis methods such as chemical method, physical chemical method, etc., they are still not clear, it seems that some substances are indeed detected by instruments The device cannot be detected.
These are not in Gu Jun's consideration for the time being.
Figuring out the hierarchical structure of this leg of lamb is his current priority.
As soon as he returned to the dissecting table, although his body had only recovered 50 to 60 percent, Gu Jun still entered a state of flow and focused on dissecting with his hands.
These days, the more the black goat calf's lower limbs are dissected and exposed, the more the team can feel its difference from the average creature. I don't know whether it is a mix of many different structures, or those structures are separated from it. Anyway, some things that shouldn't grow in the lower limbs grow there.
The most typical one is the foot cavity, which is very similar in structure to the cranial cavity. There are three cavities near the end of the metatarsal bones. Those abnormal tubes pass out of the cavities, connect with the nerve tissue of the foot, and run through the nervous system of the entire lower limb. It is possible that the heterogeneous tube is the network that transmits the regeneration signal, causing the limb to dissolve itself.
They also found a glandular organ that spread across various regions of the leg of the lamb.
It is not yet clear what this glandular organ is used for. Gu Jun tentatively named it "xenogeneic gland" because it feels that this organ is also involved in the process of limb dissolution and regeneration. This is just a hypothesis. Whether this is actually the case needs more anatomy and research in the future to determine.
At this time, there were only 10 hours left in the task, and Gu Jun was dissecting another piece of abnormal gland in his foot.
Now the completion of the task has reached 96.2%, and it is almost completed.
But Gu Jun has reached his limit again. In the past 20 hours, he only took a break once, and the duration was one hour.
When I first woke up, there was still 50% to 60% of my physical condition, but now I only have 12% left.
The last 3.8% doesn’t seem to be much, but when I tried my best to dissect the liver for a whole day, it only increased by more than 8%. Moreover, the leg of lamb at that time was like a new continent, and there were new discoveries everywhere. Now, finding a new structure and making a big breakthrough is hard to come by.
But at this moment, Gu Jun vaguely noticed that the abnormal gland being dissected was different from the previous one.
Gland is a tissue that can secrete certain juices in the living body, and is divided into exocrine glands and endocrine glands.
Exocrine glands have ducts through which their secretions do not enter the bloodstream. Bile is produced by the liver and flows to the duodenum through the common bile duct.
Endocrine glands are glands without secretory ducts. Their secretions are so-called hormones. After secretion, they directly enter the surrounding blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, and then the blood and lymph fluid transport the hormones to the whole body, such as the thyroid gland and adrenal gland.
According to this division, the xenogeneic glands of the leg of lamb are endocrine glands, because they cannot find ducts.
These heterogeneous glands are all shaped like horns, and are long strips that become narrower and narrower toward one end. The surface cortex, the inner medulla, and the epidermis are covered with dense blood vessels, and they are connected to many blood vessels in the surrounding tissues. The blood supply is extremely Rich.
Aside from being a weird gray-black color and varying in shape, xenogeneic glands have some anatomical resemblance to adrenal glands.
Therefore, there is another hypothesis, could this be the "adrenal gland" of black goat cubs? Is the huge strength of the leg of lamb derived from the hormone secreted by this gland? However, the team has not yet isolated the hormones of the xenogeneic glands, and can only find some regenerative fluids.
"Come and see, here..." Gu Jun called Uncle Dan, Wang Ruoxiang and others beside him, and Xiao Huiwen and other anatomy experts on the communication screen also opened their eyes to see clearly. Gu Jun asked them, "Does this look like some kind of catheter?"
Wang Ruoxiang stared at it with frowned eyebrows. This gland was as big as an adult's palm. It was also black all over, shaped like a goat's horn, and rich in blood vessels.
At first glance, it seems to be no different from the xenogeneic glands of the thigh and calf.
But at the position indicated by the dissecting tweezers in Gu Jun's hand, he tweezed a dark red tiny tube from the blood vessels extending from the gland. It was the same color as other blood vessels. Just a little blood vessel.
But Wang Ruoxiang immediately noticed the difference, which was quite conspicuous. She wondered, "This tube is not connected to other blood vessels."
Gu Jun nodded, and the others immediately understood that the more abundant the blood vessels, the more they will form a network extending in all directions. Like veins, even the main arteries will have some branches, so blood can circulate quickly throughout the body.
The superficial blood vessels and extended blood vessels of these heterogeneous glands are all networked, but this thick tube is not, nor are the other similar thick tubes picked up by Gu Jun with tweezers. The direction to go is the side of the foot cavity of the phalanx, which is also connected to the dysgenetic tube like a blood vessel.
"I don't think it's a blood vessel, it's a catheter."
Gu Jun made this judgment, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
Everyone observed it and agreed with him that it was a different gland, an exocrine gland, and it was almost certainly involved in regeneration.
With a new discovery, a new name is naturally needed, and Xiao Huiwen suddenly became nervous like a conditioned reflex.
"Let's call it the adrenal gland." Gu Jun made a quick decision, as if he named his own child with the name of a neighbor's child, "Let's see if we can find some hormones for it."
At the same time, he seemed to vaguely see a flowing liquid network, from the abnormal duct, to the apical gland, to the entire neural network, all blood vessels...
His tired body shook suddenly, and before he put down the anatomical forceps in his hand, a new system message popped up in his mind:
[You have made a major breakthrough in the anatomy of the black goat cub, the completion of the anatomy is +3%, currently 99.2%, the remaining time of the task: 9:35:17]
This lifted Gu Jun's mind, as if he had poured three bottles of Red Bull in a row.
Soon, 0.8% left, soon. He encouraged everyone and also encouraged himself: "Come on, let's work harder and sprint!"
But the next five hours proved his premature optimism.
The 0.8% that could have been completed in an average of 2.4 hours, because he gradually became exhausted, continued to lengthen.
Hour after hour, the remaining 0.1% just won't go up.
His vision has gradually become hazy, the cortex of his head is so tense that it is about to split, and he can no longer think. He just operates mechanically in one breath, repeatedly separating the blood vessels on the instep of the leg of lamb, one after another, like It is slowly climbing to the finish line.
[Completion of anatomy +0.1%]

Is it done... is it...
Gu Jun's mind was stagnant, and he hadn't finished reading the few new messages in his mind, so he couldn't tell whether they were real or just hallucinations.
All of a sudden, it seemed as if a string had finally been disconnected. His vision went dark, his consciousness blurred, and he fell forward.
"Ah Jun!" "Gu Jun!" The panicked calls of everyone around them quickly faded into the darkness.
