Although the maternal body fluids were successfully used to induce the desire to eat in the three living specimens, this did not change their fate of eventually starving to death.
On the one hand, naturally, humans currently only have the body of the mother that Chen Xin and the others captured initially. Most of the preserved body fluids are used for analysis and research, and there are really very few samples left.
On the other hand, it is also because the body fluids retained by these dead mothers can make the three living samples have a desire to eat, but it cannot satisfy their eating needs.
You must know that the body of the fighting child is no smaller than a cow, and its body temperature can reach 105c in extreme conditions. Even though the body temperature will be lower under normal conditions, it is still much higher than other creatures.
To maintain such a huge size and such a high body temperature, it means that the metabolic rate of the fighting body is very fast, because only in this way can it generate enough heat.
However, to maintain a high metabolism, a large amount of nutrients must be consumed.
Although the body fluids of the alien biological matrix contain a large amount of nutrients, which are high-energy nutrients, the scarcity of preserved quantities is a problem. Another problem is that it has cooled down, and most of the calories contained in it are gone. Already lost.
Although it¡¯s not impossible to warm it up and feed it to three living samples, even if you feed all the preserved samples to them, they won¡¯t be able to keep them for long.
So after analyzing the situation at hand, Chen Xin discussed with the biologists and decided to complete all the established research before they really starve to death, and by the way, vivisect the three combat larvae to study Check out their physiological conditions.
As for the precious living samples being consumed like this, it is indeed a very heartbreaking thing, but there is nothing that can be done.
It¡¯s just that this result was analyzed. Although it solved some doubts and problems, it also caused new problems.
"Since these offspring are fed by their mothers, how do they maintain such a large population? Are there countless mothers underground?" A biologist felt very incredible.
"Not necessarily, it's very possible that these offspring are just cannon fodder." Another biologist looked at the research report in his hand, shook his head and said: "Judging from the corpses we have obtained so far, most of the corpses look like There is a big gap between the samples produced in a short period of time and the batch of samples obtained by Academician Chen and others."
Hearing what the biologist said, others immediately asked with interest: "Is there a big gap? How big is it?"
"The gap in physiological functions between the biological samples obtained by Academician Chen and the others through anatomy and analysis and the anatomical data of the biological samples we obtained after the war started is almost 1.2:1. Academician Chen and the others encountered at that time The alien creatures are obviously more powerful." The biologist handed the report in his hand to others and motioned for them to circulate it: "And the most important thing is that the biological samples obtained after the war basically have certain A certain degree of genetic collapse and organ failure, but the living samples captured by Academician Chen and his colleagues did not have such problems."
The problem presented by this phenomenon is quite obvious, and these biologists came up with a surprising answer after just a little analysis.
"This means that the individuals on the battlefield who are fighting us are just cannon fodder. Even if they are left alone, they will die soon?" Someone came up with this conclusion.
The biologist who pointed out this point nodded affirmatively: "According to calculations, under normal circumstances, the kind of offspring that Academician Chen and the others encountered can survive for about thirty to forty years, but this kind of offspring was spawned on the battlefield. The offspring will not survive for more than three months. It can be said that they are the cannon fodder that has been catalyzed."
Suddenly the conference room became silent, everyone was shocked by this fact.
"It seems that the conclusion is obvious. This kind of creature is indeed a biological group with human interference as academician Chen had guessed before." Someone made a concluding speech, but the tone was very heavy: "Now All we have to do is figure out whether they are alien biological weapons or the advanced biological groups speculated by Academician Chen!"
"Judging from the current situation, the results speculated by Academician Chen are more likely. They do not behave like biological weapons, but more biological habits." A biologist who participated in the meeting told Chen Xin The inference expressed support: "After all, from the current point of view, these alien creatures must have upper nodes, which is consistent with Academician Chen's speculation."
So far, although there is no clear evidence of extraterrestrial life among the clues and evidence that humans have,?The existence of the upper node, but based on the analysis of various data, it is easy for everyone to draw the conclusion that the upper node exists.
"It would be great if we could organize an attack and capture a mother body or upper node! In this way, we can learn more information and be able to better fight back against alien creatures!" Biologists were not the only ones participating in the meeting. , one officer said.
Some people immediately expressed their objection to the officer's words and shook their heads and said: "This is unlikely. Academician Chen and his team's previous actions to capture living samples were difficult enough. Now if you want to capture the upper node or mother body, you can only go deep into the alien creature." It¡¯s only possible to attack the nest, but we can¡¯t attack it at all now. Even if we force our way in, we will suffer huge losses and the gain will not be worth the loss!¡±
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's sort out all the data and research reports we have, put them together, and submit a detailed report on alien creatures to the superiors." The person in charge of presiding over the meeting stopped everyone from continuing the discussion. Announce and let everyone put together the final results and reports.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and an officer rushed in. He came to the attending officer and whispered something to him, causing his expression to change immediately.
The biologist on the side noticed the other person¡¯s expression and quickly asked: ¡°What happened?¡±
"It's nothing, I'm sorry, I'll go first." The officer quickly stood up and left the conference room with the officer who came in later.
After the two left, you could still hear the sound of them running in the corridor, and the voice of one of them: "Go find Academician Chen quickly"
This sudden appearance obviously made everyone in the meeting a little confused, but after being stunned for a moment, the person in charge quickly recovered and said to everyone: "Let the meeting adjourn, everyone go back and do what you are doing." Work, don¡¯t ask about things you shouldn¡¯t ask about. Our mission is to study the ecology and weaknesses of alien creatures. Other things are none of our business.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
