Meet the principal

Notice letter:

For those who indulge in past misunderstandings and give up on the future, I will come to your door in seven days to steal your twisted and meaningless self-esteem. What is contained in this package is the prop for my gorgeous performance.

The Phantom Thieves of Heart.

On the stationery, something like this was written in the form of a spliced ​​newspaper text. If it had been any other time, Emiya would have thought it was a silly prank.

But now that she is in jail, she has received such a letter, which really makes Emiya unable to ignore it.

"The Phantom Thieves of the Heart...if they could really steal the fate I was carrying, that wouldn't sound bad."

Emilia vaguely guessed the owner of the letter, so she folded it properly, and then opened the small package.

Inside the package was a rolled-up stack of paper, which unfolded as it was unwrapped.

However, when she saw the words on it, Emiya frowned.

"Research on genetic issues and a report on the continuation of the Albiore family's bloodline?"

She knew all the words above separately, but when combined, the meaning was confusing.

However, there was nothing else to do in the prison anyway. Since the "Phantom Thieves of the Heart" said this was a prop he used to steal hearts, there was no loss in taking a look.

With this thought in mind, Emilia flipped through the report.

The report began with a hypothesis about bloodline inheritance, proposing the concept of bloodline factors. Then, through a series of observations and experiments, the role of bloodline factors in inheritance from generation to generation was confirmed. Among them, the experiment on peas was recorded in extremely detail. , although Alymiya has never actually seen the growth of peas, she has also experienced the role of blood factors through the description.

If the document only ends here, Emilia may think that this is a passage copied from some paper or textbook, but then, the content about the blood inheritance of the Albiore family makes Emilia With his eyes widened, he read carefully word for word, for fear of missing any details.

After reading it, Emilia's hands were shaking a little. She couldn't hold it steady, and the stack of reports fell on the ground. She didn't care to pick them up. Emilia's eyes were blank and she muttered to herself.

"Is it true, Mom, everything I do is..."

...

Reiner soon received a reply from Lord Preston.

Obviously, the legendary mage felt from between the lines of Reiner's words that he did have a certain idea for research, so in his reply, Preston affirmed Reiner's protection of his students. At the same time, he also mentioned that Al When the Biore family holds a wedding, most pure-blood families will send people to congratulate them, and they can choose to make announcements on that occasion.

Of course, Preston himself would not go there in person, but he promised to send one of his students as a witness to go to Berger City with Reiner.

But at the same time, the legendary mage also suggested to Reiner that it is best to conduct further verification when there is tangible evidence, otherwise it may lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Finally, Preston conducted corresponding experiments based on several suggestions in Reiner's letter and attached the results to the end of the letter.

After putting away the letter, Reiner looked at the experimental table.

The original alchemy beakers and alcohol lamps have been taken away and replaced by high-precision optical microscopes and several petri dishes.

If he wants to extend the genetic rules verified in peas to humans, then there are two steps that Reiner needs to do. The first is to verify that the blood factor does exist and exists on the chromosomes. The second step is to prove Human and pea chromosomes are the same material.

In fact, the second step no longer requires Reiner to do it himself, because the previous research on cells by the necromancers found that clear chromosome structures only exist during cell division, and through alchemy methods to identify the components of the chromosomes of different species, they It has been concluded that the elements and contents that make up these chromosomes are basically the same among different organisms.

Judging from experimental phenomena, it can be basically determined that the chromosomes existing among various organisms are the same kind of material.

As for how to prove that the blood factor exists on chromosomes, Reiner has an idea.

Breeding fruit flies is a simple and quick classic method, but it takes a long time. It takes twelve days for a generation of fruit flies to mature, and the classic white-eyed fruit fly is also a rare trait that requires luck to obtain.

After checking the information, Reiner found another creature that only existed in this world, called Moon Owl. As the name suggests, it is an owl.

Moon owls have long been used as one of the owls to deliver letters and have a long history of breeding. There are complete written and picture records about the breeding of moon owls.

Reiner found that some male moon owls have red eyes, while most moon owls have yellow eyes. At the same time, female moon owls without exception have yellow eyes. This feature is very similar to sex-linked inheritance.

He selected the records of a breeding farm, and after detailed inspection, he finally found text recording the offspring of a male red-eyed moon owl and a female yellow-eyed moon owl. All twelve offspring of these two moon owls were Yellow eyes are present in both males and females, which shows that the red eyes are a recessive shape, and the female yellow-eyed moon owl should have a purely dominant bloodline factor.

Among the eighty-nine offspring of these twelve moon owls, the number of red-eyed moon owls is twenty-two, and the ratio to yellow-eyed moon owls is exactly 3:1. At the same time, the gender of red-eyed moon owls is without exception. All males.

Necromancers have discovered that in many animals, there are subtle differences in the chromosomes of male and female individuals. Reiner previously asked Lord Preston to observe the cells of several creatures, including moon owls, and humans. , found that the chromosomes of male and female individuals of these organisms are also different.

For example, in humans, twenty-three pairs of chromosomes can be observed. The first twenty-two pairs of chromosomes are similar in both men and women, but only the last pair has two similar structures in women and two different structures in men.

It can be inferred that the differences in chromosomes are directly related to gender, and the twenty-third pair of chromosomes is also called the sex chromosomes.

This is a gift from Reiner to Lord Preston. The discovery of sex chromosomes will definitely get feedback from the world. Reiner himself has no conditions to experiment, so he gave it to the legendary mage, which is considered a smooth favor.

Once it is confirmed that chromosome type determines gender, all the remaining inferences become logical.

The blood factor that determines the Moon Owl's red eyes is inherited along with gender, and the sex chromosomes determine gender. It can be easily inferred that the blood factor that causes the Moon Owl's red eyes is on the sex chromosomes, and by analogy, it determines other traits. Blood factors are also located on chromosomes.

"Proof completed."

Reiner put down his pen, and suddenly, a torrent of magic followed.
