Super electric eel clone

Chapter 3

Such a strange thing happened, so Chen Fan didn't sleep well all night.

It was just dawn in the early morning, Chen Fan got up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes, and rushed to the fish tank in the living room without washing his face.He has accepted compulsory education for more than ten years, even if he thought about it, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

This feeling is like the protagonist in a novel, so weird that it can't be weird.

After staring at it for a while, Chen Fan couldn't bear it anymore.

The animal's self-control ability was ridiculously weak, and it just didn't eat a meal. Chen Fan felt a strong sense of hunger coming from his consciousness.Of course, this feeling is not from him, but from the inexplicable electric eel that has become his clone.

Usually, he has no scruples when feeding it, even small fish whose corpses are stiff, but the current situation makes Chen Fan depressed.The feeling of hunger on the electric eel was as uncomfortable as not having eaten three or four meals, and he was panicking.

But... the key is that my own consciousness is controlling this body, so I can't let myself eat raw fish!
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Fan decided to change the eating pattern of electric eels from now on.

He ran to the kitchen and took a green vegetable that is usually used for cooking instant noodles. After washing the green vegetable, it was still in the fish tank, and then controlled the electric eel to swim to the surface of the water to eat the green vegetable.

It is obviously unrealistic to ask a perennial carnivore to suddenly change its eating habits.

He bit the head of the fish and ate a vegetable, Chen Fan smacked his lips bitterly.It's not that he hasn't tasted raw green vegetables, but it's the first time he's had such an unpalatable feeling like this.

Scratching his scalp, Chen Fan simply retracted his consciousness into his body, not caring about the life and death of the electric eel.

but…………

Within half an hour, Chen Fan couldn't help but regret it!The hunger in his head, as if he was about to bite off his own tail, tortured him to death.

"Rely, rely, rely..."

Chen Fan used the word "rely" three times in a row to express his mood at this moment.

It's a pity that harsh words can't fill his stomach. Gritting his teeth, Chen Fan took out a few inch-long saury from the refrigerator.

The long, narrow and thin silver-white saury in his hand is not the Yangtze River saury with the "four delicacies of the Yangtze River", but a very common artificially raised lake saury.

In the brain, heaven and man have been fighting for a long time. In the end, the strong sense of hunger defeated the indeterminate will and temporarily controlled Chen Fan's right to act.

"It's time to eat sashimi."

Looking at the small white fish in the fish tank, Chen Fan gritted his teeth, went up and swallowed it into his mouth, before chewing a few mouthfuls, he quickly swallowed it into his stomach.

"Yi? This smell..." Smacking his mouth, recalling the bursts of bloody scent coming from his mouth, and the comfort of being moistened by food in his stomach, Chen Fan discovered that raw fish is not the same Not as bad as I imagined.

That being the case, Chen Fan simply did not do anything, and wiped out all the small fish in his hands.

A body of more than 40 centimeters can't hold a few small fish. Chen Fan, who has just finished eating the sixth fish and his stomach is slightly bulging, can't eat anymore.

"Cool..." A few bubbles overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Chen Fan hiccupped at the same time.

After he was full and had nothing to do, Chen Fan lay on the bed sprawled.

Although Chen Fan usually likes masturbation, it is only limited to masturbation.This is the same as when some people are free, they always like to fantasize about a [Human and Ghost Love], but once a female ghost really comes to the door, I am afraid that I will pee my pants in fright.

But since the matter has already happened, Chen Fan had no choice but to face it even if it was weird.

Lying on the bed, Chen Fan activated his illogical brain again.

Although this 'clone' of myself does not have the stimulation of those in the fantasy novels, but those are just fantasies, this is a serious 'incarnation outside the body'.

Go to the river to electrify some eels, bastards and other things to sell?
With the addition of something unique in the world, the first thing that came to Chen Fan's mind was how to maximize its benefits.

But then he rejected this idea, not to mention how much those things can sell, just looking for them is a difficult job!

"Damn, it would be great if the electric eel was a saltwater creature! Then go to the ocean and sell a few antiques from shipwrecks from the Tang and Song Dynasties. It will be very popular!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of emotion when YY came to the fore.

Zhongyun City is located on the coast, and Chen Fan can often see ancient shipwrecks being unearthed somewhere on the local TV station, including dishes and vases from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, silver ingots and gold ingots from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and so on. Old nose money stuff.

When thinking of the word 'ocean', Chen Fan thought of the subject he was studying [Marine Biology].Although he hardly listened to the class on weekdays, he still had a little understanding of some marine life knowledge.

Strictly speaking, there is not much essential difference between freshwater fish and return-water fish, only the salt content in the body and the size of the salt filter in the water.

For fish living in fresh water, the blood in the body and the fluid in the tissue contain a lot of salt and protein, and the concentration of the solution is higher than that of the surrounding fresh water. According to the principle of osmotic pressure, the surrounding fresh water will seep into the body of the fish.At this time, fish need to get rid of excess water in their bodies to survive, otherwise they will become "water-injected fish".

If you put it in salt water, which contains a lot of salt, its density is much higher than that of the liquid in the fish's body.At this time, the pressure in the seawater will absorb the water in the fish's body, but if the fish's own physiological adjustment mechanism is good enough, it can replenish its own water by swallowing seawater and filtering out the salt in the seawater. lack of moisture.In that case...the fish can live in the ocean.For example, humans, who eat too much salt, need to drink more water to break down the salt.

Of course, not every fish has this ability, otherwise there would be no distinction between freshwater fish and saltwater fish.

Electric eels, like other saltwater fish, rely on the liver and gills in their bodies to break down the salt in the water.It's just that this ability is not strong enough, and it can't meet the basic requirements for surviving in the ocean for the time being.

Thinking of the almost endless antiques in the ocean, Chen Fan was depressed and went crazy.

"There is a treasure mountain in the sky, but there is no way up the mountain!"

Sighing helplessly, I decided to go to the school tomorrow and ask the "baby-level experts" in the college to see if there is any solution.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, after Chen Fan finished feeding the electric eel avatar, he rushed to school on the new bicycle that had accompanied him for three or four years.

Zhongyun University is located in Beicheng District, seven or eight miles away from [Shangcheng Homeland] where Chen Fan lives.

When he arrived at the school, Chen Fan didn't even enter the class, so he rushed to the office building.

When he came to the office at the corner of the second floor, Chen Fan sniffed, organized his words in his brain, and then knocked on the door in front of him.

"Please come in!" Accompanied by the knock on the door, a slightly old voice came from inside the room.

Pushing open the half-hidden door, Chen Fan stepped sideways into the room, and he saw a mountain of materials and books, and the desk sandwiched in the middle.

"Young man, what can I do for you?" From the pile of documents on the table, he raised a frost-stained head, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked Chen Fan who was standing in front of him.

"Hello, Professor Wang! I'm Chen Fan from Class Seven. I used to listen to your old lectures. I have a question to ask you."

The hunched old man with glasses in front of him is one of the three treasures of the town school at Zhongyun University. He taught here as early as 41 years ago. So far, he has been awarded He has been nominated and commended many times in the province, and won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award. He has made great achievements in biology.

"Oh, Chen Fan..." Professor Wang put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his forehead and thought for a while, and said, "I have some impressions, what's the problem?"

"That's right, I would like to ask you, can the naked-backed eel family like the electric eel, after a period of salt-tolerant adaptation, reach the standard of living in the ocean?" Chen Fan hesitated a little. Express the confusion in my heart.

"Electric eel?" Professor Wang wondered why this kid would ask such an unorthodox question, but it's strange because his major is still very strong, and after thinking for a few seconds, he gave Chen Fan's answer.

"No, the salt tolerance of freshwater organisms is formed after a long period of biological evolution. If you want to change its adaptability to the surrounding water quality, even if you use a scientific method, I am afraid it will take several generations or even a dozen generations. It can only be achieved by nurturing, and this time, it will not be possible to complete it in more than ten years."

"Ah..." Hearing Professor Wang's answer, Chen Fan sighed in disappointment, and then asked unwillingly, "Then is there any other way?"

"Hehe, why is the young man interested in this question?" Professor Wang smiled when he heard this, "It's not impossible. For example, electromagnetic rays or pulsed rays can be used to stimulate the pituitary gland of fish to secrete a large amount of liver and The growth genes of the gills can greatly enhance their ability to decompose salt. Gene therapy can also be used to change the arrangement of their DNA and make them mutate to resist the attack of salt.”

"But..."

The old professor paused, touched his chin, and said: "Although there are many methods, so far, none of them can be used in practice. These are all non-inheritable changes. Let's not talk about the cost. Even if it is cultivated at a high price, it is completely unprofitable, so these are still in a theoretical state, and no one has done such an experiment yet."

"Electromagnetic rays?" Chen Fan, who seemed to be grasping something in his mind, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and asked in that trembling tone.
