Chapter 623 Empathy
There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are interested. Zhao Mai really calmed down, focused on one thing at a time, and focused on building the biological library that can be used at this stage of zworms, especially with fungi zworms as the main breakthrough point, and a large amount of staked resources.
The most troublesome difficulties in biological experiments are not obstacles in front of Zhao Mai. Z worms can split, and there is never a shortage of test samples; it is naturally evolved quickly and can record stable states at any time, so the experiment is effective; Zhao Mai himself has a huge biological gene bank, with rich data for cross-comparison and use.
In addition to the advantages of science, Zhao Mai is also a demigod. He can form a field by eating a little blue crystal to provide "burn up" and it is also a field in the ecological environment. Within this range, his will can influence the rules of reality. Although his current divine power has not yet recovered the level that he could have created new creatures, it is enough to affect the direction of the evolution of the Z insect.
The "fungal blanket" was finally born. Zhao Mai strengthened the immune system of the zworm, so that he and the entire zworm group would not be affected by the fungal cell organs, so as to ensure that the food chain of the zworm was suppressed. In order to facilitate growth in various planetary environments, the improved zworm blanket is closer, forming a state of mutual connection, and can expand along various surfaces like climbing plants. As for the previous spore flight ability, the required environmental indicators were too harsh and the spreading speed was too fast, so it was removed by Zhao Mai.
After mixing the genes of the ghost spacecraft, the species of matter and energy that the bacterial blanket can use has increased greatly, and basically achieved the effect of eating everything, quickly converting and proliferating. This bacterial blanket may bring ecological disasters on planets where there are already other organs. After all, they have stronger ability to eat and occupy all. It is perfect on planets without life, and can build the most basic environment needed by Z worms. So Zhao Mai finally made two types of bacterial blankets, one is a safe version without cell organ infiltration, and the other is a "Resident Evil version" that retains this power. He used this name to remind himself of the risks.
He made many changes, but the taste did not change. It was not that he didn't want it, but that he no longer had this ability. Human smell and taste are the first line of defense for the human body against toxins. It smells bad and is mostly harmful to the body. This is the genetic memory summarized by the human body after eating for a long time.
However, Zhao Mai's strong digestive ability and toxin immunity have made this ability meaningless. In addition, the energy supply of his own cells is very strong. Without considering fighting, the energy consumed in daily life is enough to only bask in the sun, so he has no pursuit of eating. On the one hand, he has no idea about what he cannot eat, and on the other hand, he has no desire for what he wants to eat, which is troublesome...
Dogian saw Zhao Mai eating and first discovered this. Whether it was the simple dishes she made or the murderous meals that Barbara sent from time to time, Zhao Mai had the same expression when eating.
"You...don't you think that something that seems to be a poison is hard to eat?"
Zhao Mai chewed hard for a while, frowned and savored it carefully: "The taste is indeed unusual, but there is no problem, what's wrong?"
Duojian thought for a while and said to Zhao Mai: "You said that if you find something wrong with you in normal times, you must tell you quickly. Let's do an experiment. Use your mind to connect my brain and accept my feelings. I'll eat this for you to see."
"Are you sure?" Zhao Mai nodded when he saw that Dogian was very determined. He focused his energy and carefully controlled his spiritual powers, and entered Dogian familiarly. He had been in and out of Dogian many times, leaving his mark. However, this was the first time he had come in after the Milkow/Betta incident.
With rich emotions, active emotions, and flexible thinking, Dogian's soul state is no different from that of ordinary people, and may even be more active. After all, as the main part of Dogian's soul, Beta is a level 1 Villa (the main god). Based on this, and with the neural assist network providing a lot of experience and knowledge as a supplement, it is not difficult to understand how rapid development of Dogian's soul is.
"Don't spy everywhere, don't forget that I can also have supernatural powers." Dogian tapped the table with his fingers, then picked up a "Barbara Magic Bread". "Concentrate, it's best to take all my sensory organs over... This cookie is really too unpalatable."
"It's not that exaggerating..." Zhao Maiwu didn't believe it, but also connected Dojian's sense of smell, taste and emotional fluctuations.
"Wow! Wow!" The two of them looked as if they were ashen and vomited at them. Zhao Mai immediately realized that his body had not been hurt at all. He raised his hand and released the poison to Duojian. Thinking about it, it might not be enough, so he focused on chanting the spell and used the curse and body recovery technique.
"It's so scary. So I've been eating this kind of thing again?" Zhao Mai finally looked at the cookies with horror. "Is Barbara cooking or alchemy? I think she seems to have the alchemy technique of synthesis of poisons!"
Dogian wiped the corner of his mouth with a towel, took two deep breaths and said, "Zhao Mai, no matter how bad Barbara's cooking skills are, it has nothing to do with me. I am just worried about your state. You seem to have lost your vigilance of taste and smell now, which is one of the body's perceptions of danger! It's like pain, just like when you encounter extreme heat and cold, you will shrink your hands step by step...become a god who doesn't care about these things?"
Zhao Mai looked at Dogian, then Xiaohua, and nodded seriously. "Dogian, you are right. This is a serious hidden danger. If this continues, although I am still a living body, I gradually become like a lich. The lich is still smarter, and probably with my IQ, it will become an element. What I mean is that such immortality has no meaning. I have to be able to experience the ups and downs, I have to maintain my happy longing and hope, and I have to be a person."
"Just be able to realize this, what are you going to do?"
"Start by restoring human sensory ability. Dogian, I need your help in this regard, after all, you are the only humans around me."
"If you want to do a human test, you will think of me first?" Dogian's eyes rolled over, but he nodded and agreed: "There is no way, who told me to be your female slave..."
"When will I treat you as a slave? Don't frame me!" Zhao Mai snorted. Dogian smiled, making Zhao Mai feel weak. "Then I need to use my mind power to strengthen my body's primary feelings, but I haven't figured out whether to use the amplified feeling mode or establish two-level hierarchies for daily life and combat."
"Why not ask those who have been immortalized and listen to their feelings?" Xiaohua suddenly said, "Who else is immortal and powerful except us who still maintains the senses of ordinary people?"
Dogian and Zhao Mai both shook their heads, as if there was no such existence.
"Immortality and becoming stronger are really troublesome!" Zhao Mai sighed.
"You are standing and talking without any pain in your back!"
