Alien Knights

Todd's experiment seemed to be hitting a dead end.

Sutherland archaea were unable to divide and reproduce, while other heterogeneous bacteria reproduced too quickly. As time goes by, the moment the balance between the two is broken, the former will transform from a beneficial bacterium to a malignant bacterium, which will not only engulf foreign bacteria, but will eventually start attacking human cells, turning the host into a monster that loses its mind.

To solve this problem, the key lies in two problems.

1. How to inhibit the growth rate of heterogeneous bacteria?

2. How to increase the number of Sutherland bacteria?

Regarding the first question, he tried several natural antibiotics that can be used for antibacterial, but due to the unsatisfactory antibacterial effect, the effect was not obvious, and the division speed of heterogeneous bacteria did not decrease significantly. As for the second question, it’s not that he didn’t try to artificially propagate the Sutherland archaea, but apart from the high temperature preference of this archaea, Todd knew nothing about how to prepare the culture medium, pressure, acid-base, catalysis, primers, etc., so naturally he couldn’t do this work.

In the end, even though he knew the reason for the successor's alienation, he couldn't find any solution.

On a usual noon, Huggins walked to the small laboratory building with the sea fish and vegetables cooked by the town residents.

Alfonso, who was guarding the door of the laboratory, held a big sword in his arms, raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes were gray and hopeless. Huggins sighed and stepped into the door of the laboratory. The first thing he saw was the fragments of petri dishes all over the floor. The drawings used to mark the experimental data and procedures were torn into pieces and fell everywhere. Todd sat on the side of the experimental table, with his hands deeply inserted into the messy hair, with a look of frustration and frustration.

The man found a clean place on the table, put down the dishes, and asked casually, "Is it still not working?"

"The way of carbonizing glycerin is also a dead end. Without a stable low temperature environment of minus 20 degrees, there is no way..."

Listening to Todd's rambling, saying something he couldn't understand at all, Huggins didn't interrupt, and waited until the other party finished speaking before saying: "Do you still remember that the first furnace we refined silver was when everyone thought there was no hope, and it was your persistence that made things turn around."

Todd glanced at the other party and said with a wry smile: "The problem is that I don't know my time, is it enough for me to wait for a turnaround?"

Huggins tapped him on the shoulder and exited the room.

Todd sat on the chair dejectedly, looked at the table in front of him, and buried his face deeply between his hands.

Late that night, Todd started a new antibacterial experiment in the laboratory. A visitor he had never expected appeared in front of him.

The black mist on the floor gradually gathered, and a figure slowly stood up straight.

Todd quickly recognized the other party, the leader of the downtown circus-Language.

Since the last time he refused to join the "Relief Society" in a disguised form, Todd thought that he and this man immersed in darkness would never meet again, but unexpectedly, at this time and in such a place, the other party took the initiative to find him.

The throat bone first looked around the laboratory equipment and equipment with great interest, and while reading the Latin on the labels of the bottles and jars placed on the wooden shelf, he expressed sincere admiration from time to time.

"Mr. Todd, in the field of alchemy, you are the second person with extremely high talent I have ever seen!"

Knowing that the other party came to meet him, the purpose would definitely not be to praise him, Todd didn't speak up, just quietly waiting for his next sentence.

To his surprise, the throat bone also stopped talking, and instead focused on looking at Todd's face.

Unable to bear the man's gaze, Todd frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Throat Bone smiled, retracted his staring eyes, and waved his hands: "Ah, sorry, I've been hearing about you recently, and I'm a little curious, what kind of person are you?"

Todd, who was at the moment of life and death, was already angry, and he was even more angry when he heard this. He just wanted to roll up his sleeves and argue with the other party, but his throat took out something from his arms and threw it to him.

Todd reached out to catch the thrown object and took a closer look.

It was a brass pipe gleaming in the light of the fire, and on the wall of the pipe was written the proverb "Live to die" in Latin.

Todd looked at the brass pipe in his hand, stayed where he was, opened his eyes and looked at the larynx, and stammered and asked, "This...is this...?"

Throat found a chair, sat down, snuffed out a lighting candle closest to his body, and said calmly: "You should be familiar with this, it's full of 'Sutherland relics'..."

"Why?"

"The things in this can delay the alienation time of the 'Successor' and prolong your life. Don't worry, no matter how many relics the 'Successor' absorbs, it will not die..."

Nonsense, of course I know!

The relics are the Sutherland archaea. Inhaling them can increase the concentration of Sutherland bacteria in the body and re-control the balance point in the body, but Todd is not concerned about this at all!

"I want to know, why are you giving this to me?!"

Throatbone put down the gas bottle in his hand, and smiled at the other party: "Mr. Todd, you can regard this as a gift that symbolizes goodwill... At the same time, I brought you an invitation letter, someone from the relief organization wants to meet you"

"see me?"

The man smiled and pointed to the dark night outside the window: "The carriage is just outside, the place is not far from here."

Todd put the "Sutherland Relic" into the pocket of his lab coat, and said with a sullen face, "What if I say, I don't have time?"

The larynx pouted his chin and nodded annoyedly: "I understand, I understand. Father Todd is very busy, too busy. There is no way, in order to show our sincerity, I can only come up with a second gift..."

The man took out a small wooden bottle from his pocket and said with a smile, "You should be familiar with the contents here. Speaking of which, you have seen its power in Shouwang Town a few days ago..."

Todd's figure trembled slightly, and a word came out of his mouth: "'Honeycomb'."

"You even know your name. That's great. It saves me a lot of introduction." Throatbone clapped his hands and laughed, "I have many of these things, and I've never been a stingy person. Not only will you get a copy, but I will give a copy to everyone here. How about it?"

Todd took a deep look at the vial in the opponent's hand.

The throatbone shook the liquid in the bottle and cast a provocative look.

"Lead the way."

Recently, there have been more critical voices in the comment area. I feel very happy. If there is no criticism and correction for a novel, it is difficult to know my own shortcomings. I will seriously reply to every criticism. In the future, I will talk to each chapter in the comment area, interact more with everyone, and everyone can speak freely.
