Chapter 726: Tasteless is also a powerful survival ability
After a round of testing, it was found that none of the more than 300 pesticides and poison gases could kill the devil mosquito.
There are some insecticides that do cause poisoning reactions in the devil mosquito, such as cypermethrin, but it is irresponsible to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. If this big mosquito was ten times smaller, it might be poisoned to death.
The third version of the evolved Blood Sea Demon Mosquito is two meters tall and weighs two hundred kilograms. The weight represents its tolerance. The toxic damage caused by pesticides cannot offset its cell regeneration speed and metabolic rate.
The magic mosquito has a strong tolerance to high-concentration radioactive dust, which is extremely toxic to any organic life form. Wen Rui is not surprised by this. Since cockroaches also have this ability, it is not difficult to obtain the corresponding gene fragments and edit them into the magic mosquito's genetic code.
"Brother Kong, please change another batch of samples. This experiment is rather boring. There are more than 17,000 types of poisons to be tested. It will take more time."
Wen Rui treated this round of failure as normal. He did not expect to screen out a successful sample in the first round. He instructed Kong Xuan calmly.
"Oh, by the way, this experiment also needs a control group to ensure the objectivity of the data. The empty cage over there..."
"Get lost! Don't force me to slap you at the critical moment of saving all beings in the three realms!"
"Okay~"
……
Wen Rui's ill-intentioned proposal was flatly rejected by Kong Xuan. He didn't want to see the scene where the mortal rebels released poison gas in the Heavenly Palace, causing a group of immortals to pinch their necks and stare, bleeding from all seven orifices and die.
Kong Xuan had seen through this guy's little thoughts. The so-called experiment of finding the weakness of the Demon Mosquito could also be used to find the weakness of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal. He could kill two birds with one stone!
The second and third rounds followed quickly.
The poisonous gases tested also changed from the toxic substances generally known to be toxic to a hodgepodge of various gases and substances.
I wish I could grind Viagra into powder and spray it on the mosquito to see if it would cause the mosquito to become engorged and burst to death.
Just like chocolate and certain drugs that are non-toxic to humans can poison dogs, different organisms have different physiological structures and their bodies react completely differently to chemicals.
Sometimes science also needs to take a chance, and maybe it can find a miracle drug to kill mosquitoes.
Kong Xuan was constantly switching the magic mosquitoes in the crystal cage like a coolie, while Wen Rui was reading the constantly rolling toxicology test reports of the magic mosquitoes in front of the laboratory table. After three days and three nights, more than 17,000 poison gas samples were tested, and not a single magic mosquito was killed by the poison.
"That's right. A creature that grew out of a sea of blood that is ten thousand times more disgusting than the water of the Ganges River would not be able to crawl out of its egg case if its resistance to poison was slightly weaker."
Wen Rui muttered as he shook his head helplessly.
"Ganges? The Ganges is the most sacred and clean river in Xiniu Hezhou, nourishing tens of millions of Xiniu Hezhou people. I drink Ganges water every day in the Maurya Temple. How can it be disgusting?"
Kong Xuan had sharp senses and immediately refuted him when he heard his whisper.
"It's just the same name. I'm talking about the river downstream of the sewage outlet in Liberty City. The horizontal river."
Wen Rui made up a lie to cover it up and changed the subject, "We are conducting the final round of tests. The 300 poisons in this round are all supernatural poisons made by immortals, demons, and witches. Some of them are highly toxic dregs scraped from the furnace of Taishang Laojun. If these poisons still don't work, then the chemical weapons research and development project can be canceled."
At this point, Wen Rui added to the researchers who were looking disheartened because their projects were cancelled: "Even if it works, don't be happy. The project will be cancelled anyway, because these immortal poisons, demon poisons, and voodoo poisons are all unique to Scorpion Poop. They are very rare and cannot be mass-produced. Even if they can kill one or two hundred demon mosquitoes, it won't change the overall situation." These include horse-drawn stake poison, spider poison, Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord bird droppings poison, corpse poison refined by the ancient witch clan, peach blossom miasma, elixir poison, curse poison, red sand and red water in the Ten Absolute Formations...
Wen Rui sprayed all the poison that he had collected over the years to secretly harm people on the demon mosquito in the crystal cage.
There were so many types of poisons, their high grades, and their toxicity that even Kong Xuan felt his scalp tingling. Some of the top-level poisons could cause considerable damage to his Hunyuan Golden Immortal body.
This time, a demon mosquito really died suddenly. Wen Rui was eager to check the poison that the dead demon mosquito was infected with, but was greatly disappointed after seeing it.
If it is the poison prepared by the Horse-Falling Poison and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, although the production volume is not high, there is a stable supply of goods. It can be used in war and may have miraculous effects in key battles.
It's a pity that the only two poisons that work are the residue scraped from the inner tank of Laojun's alchemy furnace. I'm afraid even Laojun himself can't figure out the formula of this poison. It's completely a by-product of alchemy and the ingredients are too complicated.
The second type is the blood poison tempered by the blade of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.
This poison is the secret recipe of Wen Rui's uncle, a senior disciple of the Jinling Immortal Sect, Yiqixian Yu Yuan.
Uncle-master Yu Yuan has now been named the Star Lord of Water Palace and serves under Lord Dou Mu Yuanjun.
The blood poison formula in his hand, along with the method of refining the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, were exchanged by Wen Rui using smuggled valuable goods from the mortal world and the Ruyi Immortal Weapon.
It's a pity that the ingredients of this secret recipe for blood poison are all rare natural treasures rarely seen in the world, such as a thousand-year-old centipede fangs, three thousand-year-old heartbreak grass, and nine thousand-year-old blood jade chalcedony. It took hundreds of years to collect the amount, and it is barely enough to refine it into a blood-transforming divine sword. It is impossible to mass-produce it.
The Blood-Transforming Divine Sword and the Blood Poison are the nemesis of the Blood Sea Demon Mosquitoes. It's a pity that the blade of the sword is bent and it can't kill hundreds of millions of demon mosquitoes.
This finding is significant, but not much.
"The biological weapon research and development project has been terminated. Let's change our thinking. If we can't poison the demon mosquitoes, can't we poison ordinary people?"
Just like instructing Rocket Raccoon to change the direction of research and development, Wen Rui called the chief researcher and began to lecture him: "The next research and development focus of your team is to find a substance that can change the taste of the blood of ordinary beings. Make the creatures that suck blood feel like they are drinking feces, as disgusting as possible."
"The next experiment will be to feed the devil mosquitoes with flavored blood to see which substance they hate the most."
"Eh?"
Before the chief researcher could raise any questions, Kong Xuanxian, who was acting as an experimental assistant, could not help but speak in surprise: "What's the point of making the blood of all living beings taste disgusting?"
"It's quite meaningful. It's also a reflection of the Jiejiao spirit. Many creatures have managed to survive by evolving themselves to be more unpalatable."
Wen Rui gave Kong Xuan a serious explanation: "Do you know sea spiders? They have strong survival ability because they are unpalatable, and have escaped many mass extinctions. The devil mosquito is ferocious because it is bloodthirsty. If all living things are as unpalatable as shit to the devil mosquito, at least to a certain extent, it will reduce its desire to prey, which is equivalent to delaying the devil mosquito's killing speed in disguise."
"It sounds like it makes some sense..."
