Chapter 1162 1144. Blood transformation


    Left the dragon scale sample for Berengar to study. Lan En, who was just waiting for the drawings, stood up easily.


    “Are you free tonight?”


    ??The young witcher said casually.


    “What are you doing? Do you have anything else to do?”


    ?Berengar, who stood up with Lan En, didn''t know why.


    "It''s nothing." Lan En spread his hands and smiled, "Rita said she wanted to go out for dinner at the Yinlu Tavern. If you have time, we can come together."


    ?Berengar does not reject social meals such as gatherings of friends. After all, the people at the table are all old acquaintances.


    ?So he nodded as a response to Lan En.


    Lan En, who put on his hood again, walked out of the office and walked towards the outside of the workshop.


    The Valyrian Steel business has been around for a few years, but the demand on the market continues unabated and becomes more intense.


    ?In the last Civil War, Valyrian steel weapons were still a rarity, and even high-ranking officers were rarely equipped with them.


    But as tensions grew, each side knew that the end of the last war was not really the end.


    Not even the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.


    ?Arms factories everywhere are busy manufacturing equipment, new soldiers are recruited in large numbers, mercenary groups are established one by one, and long-term contracts are signed with employers.


    ?Before being forced to this step by the situation, even the kings of various countries could not imagine that they could assemble such a huge force.


    ??During the last Battle of Sodden Mountain, the total fighting force of the Nilfgaard Empire and the northern kingdoms was only about 110,000.


    And that was already the largest scale of battle the world had ever seen.


    But now, only two years later, the total strength of the northern countries alone will never be less than 110,000.


    War is both a propeller and a catalyst.


    ?What is inconsistent with ordinary people''s common sense is that a chaotic world will indeed cause a large number of deaths, but as the war progresses, the military strength of all parties will continue to expand.


    Lan’s historical background makes him very aware of this fact.


    In history books describing troubled times, many people are always written to death, and even a large area was abandoned directly because too many people died, with bones piled randomly on the ground.


    ??However, while making this description, if you focus on the descriptions of wars at the same time, you will find that the scenes of those wars are getting bigger and bigger.


    It seems that no matter how many people die and how miserable and difficult the lives of civilians are, the army can always continue to expand.


    At the beginning of the troubled times, a strong man with a name, a head, and a face could only pull up a team of several thousand people, which was a big deal.


    But in the ongoing chaos, the military strength of tens of thousands of people is just like waves, swirling and extinguishing.


    The Warring States Period in Japan, nicknamed the "Village War", was indeed called a "Village War" in the early days because the number of participants in the war was really low.


    Even if they are false reports, intimidating the enemy, and exaggerating the numbers, these numbers are still shabby.


    ??But after the constant death of people, the digging of river mouths and flooding of cities, the plundering of food in the style of fishing, etc., it all looks like an extermination military operation.


    ??In the end, the scale of the Japanese Warring States battles has expanded to hundreds of thousands of people!


    Because the number of dead people is never as large as that of living people, and living people must try their best to continue living.


    War will drive everyone crazy. Farmers who originally lived an honest life will be plundered and massacred. His wives and daughters will be raped and then killed.


    ??There will be a next time if you survive this time.


    Rebellious troops and bandits will show no mercy to anyone.


    If you want to live, you can only become a member of the military force.


    Even if you still want to live and produce in a stable manner, you must do it within the protection scope of the army and under the planning of the army.


    ?As a result, the more chaotic the world becomes, the more powerful the army will become, and the power of violence will increase.


    Today, weapons and equipment made of Valyrian steel have been rapidly spread among the armies of various countries.


    Although they are still luxury goods and valuables, at least they are no longer invisible.


    ??The Valyrian Steel business has become more and more prosperous under the tense situation, but as the beneficiary of this business, Lann does not feel relaxed.


    The sound of forging in the workshop behind him is in full swing and will continue to expand in the foreseeable future, just like the footsteps of war.


    Each sound brings many people closer to death.


    —


    After returning to Arethusa from the workshop, Lan went directly to the crystal cultivation laboratory.


    At this time, there was no one in the laboratory. Tisaya and Felicia did not have to wait all the time after completing the daily work in the laboratory and importing the experimental data given by Lan En into the equipment.


    After many rounds of improvements, the crystal cultivation project has become a mature process. They only need to record the experimental results at the end.


    In the dim laboratory, there was only a tiny particle of tissue floating in the nutrient solution in the container on the crystal plate.


    ??If you don’t look carefully at this rice grain-sized tissue, you might think it is an impurity in the nutrient solution.


    ? Lan En took out the [blood reconstruction organ] from the culture medium and observed it in front of his eyes.


    Mentos observes this tiny super organ himself through the subject''s eyes and compares it with the normal form in the database.


    “Confirmed that the [blood reconstruction organ] produced this time is qualified and meets the implantation standards.” The biochemical intelligence brain stamped a ‘qualified’ stamp on the retina, which is the size of a rice grain.


    Lan En nodded and immediately began to take off his clothes.


    He took out a complete set of surgical instruments from the alchemical leather bag.


    ??Whether it is Lan En himself or Mentos, this is already a familiar path.


    ?Biochemistry Intelligence Brain accurately provided surgical instructions, and the surgical site was determined to be within a main blood vessel on the side of the neck.


    ?Under Mentos'' plan, Lan needs to open his artery laterally to reduce blood flow.


    At the same time, the [blood reconstruction organ] is joined to the inner wall of the blood vessel in a very short time.


    ??He cannot yet perform blood throttling on both sides of the surgical site of his aorta, because this will affect his mental clarity.


    This is a very delicate and dangerous technique.


    The blood flow in the aorta is very large, especially with a body as strong as Lan En.


    The powerful self-healing ability brought by the [Belisarius Furnace] may even become an obstacle during surgery.


    But both Mentos and Lan are very used to this.


    Although the Biochemical Intelligent Brain has always respected caution, Mentos has learned to face it calmly since he watched the subject who had nothing at the time directly cut off and reconnected his heart and blood vessels, and connected the [Gene Seed]. All the dissatisfactions in life.


    The aorta is open, it’s a small scene.


    Mentos doesn’t know if other smart brains of the same model as his can understand what it means to be ‘numb’.


    Precise swordsmanship made Lan En''s skills impeccable, and his calm mind greatly slowed down the blood flow.


    ??Even though you can still keep calm when your neck is connected to the aorta inside, it is scary in itself.


    There is no need to worry about the connection of the super organ to the blood vessel wall, because the organ will automatically attach to the blood vessel wall from the beginning of the design, and the interface will bond and grow.


    ??This is actually a very common operation according to Lan En''s current technique.


    After the operation was completed, Lan En, who was slightly pale, covered his bleeding neck, raised his head and drank a bottle of [High-grade pure white Lafayd].


    ??With the healing power provided by the potion and the self-healing power of the [Belisarius Furnace], the side of Lan En''s neck almost made a "la la" sound of fat burning.


    At this sound, the opening of the aortic blood vessel healed quickly. Lan En also began to wipe the blood from his body.


    ??It''s just obvious that his breathing sound is louder now than in the previous stable state.


    And it’s getting bigger and bigger.


    ?This breathing sound was almost like panting, but Lan En didn''t feel any discomfort.


    He pressed his neck and used the clothes he had changed to wipe the blood splattered on the floor.


    Mentos timely projected physical conditions onto the upper left corner of Lane''s retina.


    On his aorta, the [blood remodeling organ] has begun to activate and operate due to its connection to the body system.


    Blood flow marked by the biochemical intelligence brain in different colors gradually appears from the surgical site and disperses into the systemic blood system.


    ?These are the ''high-efficiency blood'' transformed by the [blood reconstruction organ], which can carry a larger amount of oxygen and nutrients to maintain the consumption of many super organs in the body.


    Provide a suitable high-energy environment for the physiological activities of these super organs.


    However, the upper limit of oxygen and nutrients that can be carried in the blood increases, but these substances will not appear out of thin air in the body.


    So Lan En will now unconsciously gasp for air, asking for more oxygen from the air to fill the increasing amount of high-energy blood in his body.


    ?However, this process is also controllable. If Lan En deliberately maintains the previous breathing state, it will only slow down the oxygen filling process in the high-energy blood.


    Unexpected situations are unlikely to occur. After all, Space Marines can still fight normally in low-oxygen environments.


    The leather is sturdy and durable is its biggest feature.


    Suppressing the spontaneous gasping for breath a little, Lan En moved his body.


    ?His fists clenched and relaxed, Mentos reflected the changes in his body on his retina, while his [spiritual vision] penetrated the flesh and looked directly at the inner activities of his body.


    “[Second Heart], [Bone Strengthening Organ]. Well, the activity of the super organ has indeed increased.”


    Mentos promptly provided additional explanation: “If the blood transformation is completely completed, the activity of these super organs will be further enhanced.”


    “At that time, your body will be the environment that is truly suitable for these super organs to carry out physiological activities, sir.”


    “How long is it expected to take to complete the blood transformation?”


    Lan En asked. He had cleaned up all his surgical instruments and put them away. There was no blood stain left on the ground.


    As for the bacterial infection caused by not disinfecting or performing surgery in a sterile environment, when [High-grade Pure White Rafad] is poured down, the toxicity of the potion has killed the bacteria that invaded the wound.


    ?This is more powerful than pouring disinfectant directly on the wound.


    “It takes about three days for the blood to be completely transformed, sir.”
