Alien Knights

Leaving the matter of spreading rumors to Huggins and the matter of making glass to Karin, Todd went back into the laboratory.

During this period of time, the pressure from the outside world and the anxiety in his heart prompted him to think of ways to improve his chances of surviving in a different world.

The crazy plan of Muxi Harbor, because it involves too many links, he is not very sure. A mistake in any step will cause the entire plan to collapse completely.

Once the plan fails, finding a way to survive becomes the top priority. Besides, it's not his style to put all your eggs in one basket.

Therefore, designing and completing an alternate survival plan has become the top priority of the current work.

And Todd's alternative is to expand the ability.

The idea was inspired by that experimental accident.

Since Sutherland bacteria can block foreign bacteria and reduce their poisoning effect. So why not inject several more bacteria into your body to obtain more supernatural powers for self-protection?

There are two options at hand, Huggins' "Weakened Bacteria" and Edgar's "Rapid Bacteria".

After a comparison, Todd is more inclined to the latter.

Although the weakened ability can play a great role in close combat, a research character like Todd has very few opportunities to fight with people, so it is not practical.

And the fast supernatural ability is much more important.

Thirty-six tactics are the best strategy, if you can't beat it, you must run it. Increasing one's own speed is tantamount to saving one's life.

But how to inject the bacteria in Edgar's body into his own body is another problem.

First of all, if the number of rapid bacteria entering the body is too small, not only will it be impossible to obtain supernatural powers, but it will even disappear directly under the attack of the human body's immune function.

Secondly, in a different world with a technological level in the middle ages, there is no way to make a syringe for modern medicine. Without a syringe, is it possible to dig a small hole in your leg with a knife and pour the bacterial liquid into it?

Finally, the disinfection conditions are too backward. Although the Sutherland bacteria in his body can block the germs, there is no guarantee that in this era, other messy pathogens will not appear. Todd didn't want to have to amputate or even lose his life because of one injection.

Let's solve the first problem first, how to get a lot of fast bacteria? The idea of ​​extracting more pathogenic bacteria from Edgar's body was completely rejected as soon as it appeared in Todd's mind. He didn't want to see the little boy again, the pitiful appearance of his nose and tears during the last live sampling.

Of the remaining options, the best option is bacterial culture.

The so-called bacterial culture is to inject culture solution into the petri dish where the bacteria are placed, adjust the temperature, pressure and pH value in time, create the most suitable culture environment for bacteria, and achieve the purpose of artificially breeding bacteria.

As the culture medium, the "broth medium" commonly used in bacterial culture experiments was selected.

With the petri dishes in place, Todd started making the syringes. Due to the low production technology of micro-instruments in the Middle Ages, it was not until the 17th century that brass practical syringes appeared (Todd did not know that in the Middle Ages, countries in the Middle Ages actually had the prototype of hypodermic syringes).

The liquid medicine chamber and the thruster are very simple. The former can be made of sterling silver or brass into a round tube, while the latter can be made of a ball airbag or a wooden push rod.

The biggest problem is the needle.

Among the medical equipment in the previous life, the thinnest medical needle tube is 0.33mm, and the thicker ones are 0.55mm and 0.6mm. However, precision machine tools are required to make them, which is obviously unrealistic at this stage.

Todd thought for a long time, and finally remembered that he had watched a program on the Discovery Channel that mentioned natural hollow needles.

Sea urchin spines.

The spines on the surface of sea urchins are generally about 1-2 cm long, 1 or 2 mm thick, conical, hollow and fragile. However, after cleaning the lumen, plasticizing treatment is carried out to make the spines flexible and not easy to break, so that they can be used as syringe needles.

After solving the first two problems, the third problem appears to be simple.

Medical alcohol and high temperature sterilization can fully meet the disinfection needs.

When everything was ready, Todd sat on the ground, rolled up his trouser legs, and used the ability of perspective to look at the blood vessels and nerves on the calf. He picked up the syringe with one hand, and pressed with the other hand to help fully relax the tense leg muscles.

When placing the needle, he hesitated.

The next thing to do is to conduct bacterial experiments on your own body.

Moreover, the pathogens in a copper tube are injected into the body on their own initiative. This behavior has gone far beyond the scope of scientific research. To put it bluntly, dare to try; to put it bluntly, you have water in your head.

Taking a deep breath, Todd muttered to himself: "I might really be crazy..."

The needle pierced the skin, blood spattered out, the wooden push rod was pushed forward, and the transparent liquid full of bacteria slowly entered under the skin.

Pain and burning sensation came from the wound at the same time, Todd clenched his teeth tightly, watching the wooden pusher slowly sinking into the copper pipe, while observing the lower body with perspective.

Bacteria travel down the calf into the thigh, into the pelvis, and then into the lower extremity on the other side.

The muscles in the legs began to tremble violently, the nerves gradually lost their function, and the calf seemed to disappear from the body out of thin air.

Todd covered the wound tightly with a sterile cloth soaked in medical alcohol, his lips became pale and bloodless due to excessive tension.

I don't know how long it took, the numbness in the legs dissipated like an ebb tide, and the nerves came online again and brought sensation.

Todd looked at the rocks on the roof, tried to move his toes, and slowly stood up while leaning on the wall.

He used perspective to look into his legs again, and the rapid bacteria formed a gray torrent, flowing slowly in his body.

"Successful? Or failed?"

Trying to walk forward with his legs, the sole of his foot kicked the ground. The huge reaction force made Todd's body rush forward four or five meters, and directly hit the table in front of him.

Clutching his hurting chest, Todd opened his eyes wide, and he suddenly realized that the experiment of heterogeneous bacteria...successful.

His body already has two abilities at the same time.

Opening the door of the laboratory, Todd was in a happy mood and wanted to sing aloud. With a little force on his feet, his body could bounce into the distance. This feeling is as if the gravity of the earth has completely moved away from him, and every step is like walking in space.

Ignoring the astonished eyes of the monks, he ran through the underground passage and passed through the corridor of the monastery. The scenery around him quickly swept behind him, and the road under his feet seemed to be shortening infinitely.

He ran all the way to the smelting field, found other people, and just wanted to speak.

Huggins let go of a carrier pigeon and handed over a note with a serious face: "The pirates have appeared."
