Chapter 7

“You reported that the ec factor in the blood of the mermaid will promote the division of mermaid cells and the assimilation of other biological cells under the z-a reagent, and it will change the gene sequence of other cells…” Cyril simulated the process of the experiment, his tone was excited, “If you can reduce the damage caused by this assimilation, do you know what that means…”

Compared to humans, mermaids are simply nature’s darlings, they have long lifespans, hard scales, poisonous nails…

Therefore, after the first merman was caught, the research on merman did not stop.

If the assimilation of mermaid blood can be smoothly passed, it means that humans may also have their characteristics, such as lifespan-in the detection of their bone age, mermaids do not enter adulthood until five hundred years old.

“You will stay in Group D in the future, and I will tell Olier to let him go to the breeding room with another person!” Cyril also has a lot of right to speak in the research institute, and Olier will give him this face if he insists.

Boyce was a little moved, but remembering the bald tail of s-37 and the blue-purple on his arms, he still rejected his kindness.

“The rearing room does a good job of seeing it up close…”

Cyril also felt that it was reasonable, although he was worried about his safety, he agreed and asked him to come to the laboratory early after feeding.

Cyril gave Boyce his research materials over the years: “Ask Matthew if you don’t understand anything.”

The information Cyril gave was very detailed, all of which were related experiments he had done on the mermaid, and he also collected some special chemical reactions.

Boyce turned a few pages, the more he read, the more surprised he became.

Matthew has seen these things for a long time: “I was shocked when I saw this material for the first time. They are treasures all over the body!”

Eureka’s investors, the Morrison family, are involved in various fields, especially medicine. There are rumors in the upper circle that the Morrison family has developed drugs that can treat incurable diseases such as cancer, but the number is very small and sold sky-high price.

Boyce didn’t expect these to be true. Eureka had used mermaid oil and blood to make medicines more than ten years ago, and it has been continuously improved over the years. The research direction in recent years is the reason for the longevity of mermaids.

“It’s a pity that there are too few experimental subjects.” Matthew complained, “The boss urges the results of the experiment every day, and he doesn’t allow them to move…”

Boyce listened to the complaints, and got a lot of information from it.

—

Cyril arranged a small laboratory for Boyce, with all kinds of instruments, to focus on the assimilation of merman cells.

However, due to the scarcity of materials, Cyril did not give him the merman materials in the early stage, and let him first understand the relevant experimental simulations before proceeding.

There was no one else in the small lab, and Boyce took a scale from his pocket after Matthew left.

Different from the scales that were just picked in the laboratory a few days ago, the scales it gave Boyce lost their luster and became somewhat brittle. They could be broken in half with a little force. After observation under the microscope, the structure of the scales was found to be loose. It seems that some kind of change has occurred. After testing, it is found that a large amount of nutrients in the scales have been lost. Boyce feels that this is more like natural shedding.

But there has never been a precedent for a mermaid to naturally lose its scales on a large scale.

There was so little information on the scales that Boyce wanted to draw some blood from it.

At twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, there was almost no one outside the research institute, and Boyce quietly entered the breeding room at this time.

The underwater s-37 heard the familiar footsteps, opened its closed eyelids, and swam to the glass wall of the fish tank, with its ears on it, waiting for Boyce’s call.

From the slight movement in the rearing room, it can imagine how Sofia is approaching the fish tank above her head step by step.

“Sofia—”

There was a hint of pity in its eyes, he still wore earplugs today, and he didn’t look like he really wanted to hear himself.

It was against the cold glass and looked above the water: Since Sofia thought that wearing earplugs could cut off her voice, in order not to frighten him, let him think so wrongly…

S-37 heard Sofia’s voice above and knew it was time to show up, it came to the surface and watched him open his mouth and say “Sofia—”

Boyce, who thought his voice was isolated by earplugs, was calm. What he didn’t know was that he didn’t make a sound in the breeding room.
