I Shall Seal the Heavens Chapter 1259 – Research Progress On The Eggs

He really did not want her to drink anymore.

It was the first time he encountered someone that treated vodka like beer.

If he allowed her to continue to drink like this, he would have to call an ambulance…

“NOOO! I can drink! Bring me the alcohol… oh…”

However, at this moment, Natasha suddenly stood up and rushed toward the bottle in Jiang Chen’s hand before she pushed him onto the ground.

There were a series of bangs, and the wooden floor was full of displaced items.

On top of Jiang Chen, Natasha muttered drunkenly while she reached for the bottle in Jiang Chen’s hand. “How can I lose… impossible.”

Terrible drunk!

He looked speechlessly at Natasha who hung herself onto him before Jiang Chen turned to Xia Shiyu with a desperate look. However, he only received a cold stare in return.

“I still have to work tomorrow…you should rest early. Don’t stay up too late.”

Xia Shiyu, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, sighed and disappeared at the intersection of the balcony. She left Jiang Chen behind.

Jiang Chen then turned to Ayesha.

The facts were simply despairing.

Even the most gentle and obedient Ayesha, also subtly looked away; she pretended to be sightseeing.

Jiang Chen could not help but feel the negativities of this world.

But to be honest, the softness pressing against him felt good.

Especially the vibrant red lips, the hot air that was puffing onto his face, and the slightly intoxicated breath. At this moment, she was like a delicate red apple, ripe and delicious.

It wouldn’t be so bad to maintain this position?

Just as this idea settled into Jiang Chen’s mind and he began to relax the muscles on his shoulders, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked at Natasha, who started to pant heavily, and suddenly thought of something. His expression changed dramatically, and he desperately wanted hold her by her slim shoulders. However, Natasha, completely wrapped around him like an octopus, pinned him down.

“Wait, wait, WAIT… Hold on, wait for me to get up, I will take you to the bathroom, don’t – FU*K!”

It was too late!

“vomit—”

Right on top of Jiang Chen’s chest, the delicate red lips spilled everything without warning.

Because the picture was too gruesome, it was not suitable to be described.

Ayesha, who sat on the side with her arms crossed, had an “I thought so” expression on her face. She nodded as she was pleased with the decision to not intervene.

In general, Natasha had never gotten drunk, at least in Ayesha’s memory.

But if she did get drunk.

Then she would let go of everything…

When Jiang Chen was absent, she would often grow furious at Natasha over this fact, especially for someone who enjoyed cleaniness…

…

The next day, Kelvin reported back with additional information. Celestial City’s Lab made new progress on the research of the Devil Worm’s egg.

Jiang Chen sluggishly finished breakfast and left with dark circles under his eye. Xia Shiyu drove him to the company.

His beautiful assistant prepared a cup of coffee for him. Jiang Chen, who sunk into the chair, yawned profusely as he called Celestial City.

Soon, Verdell Taylor’s face appeared on the holographic screen.

The chemist and biologist from Frankberg was indeed an intelligent guy. Since he already made quite a number of amazing discoveries on Devil Worms that contributed significantly to the progress of the research, he was now elected as the person in charge of the whole project.

Without any small talk, Verdell Taylor reported to Jiang Chen about the latest research progress on the eggs.

“…they have a very short incubation period. The hatching process is only four to six weeks. We found a larva in these eggs that is about to end its incubation period. Now it is being cultivated in an artificial incubator. If everything goes smoothly, we will get the Devil Worm’s larva in a week.”

“How long does it take for a larva to grow into an adult?” Jiang Chen asked.

“With sufficient organic matter and suitable temperatures, the theoretical estimate is twenty weeks. They will grow to two meters and can already begin to prey. After every ten weeks, they can grow 0.8 to 1 meter, and they will enter the growth stagnation period after their length reaches 15 to 20 meters.”

“What about their life expectancy period? How long can they live?” Jiang Chen asked immediately.

“By combining previous analysis with DNA analysis, they can theoretically survive up to fifty years,” Verdell Taylor said earnestly. “They can go to sleep in extreme environments, slowly replenish oxygen in the blood, and reduce oxygen and organic consumption. They spend 80% of their time sleeping and 10% of their time hunting.”

Fifty years?

Eradicating this species will not be easy.

Jiang Chen bitterly smiled and asked.

“What about the other 10%?”

“Mating.” Verdell Taylor shrugged.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen asked.

“Is there any good news?”

“Of course, this is what I have to report next.” Verdell Taylor nodded, and there was a glimmer of smugness in his eyes. “We found that Devil Worm’s vocal cords are abnormally developed during the embryonic stage when we studied the larvae specimens. However, it is strange that adults do not rely on sound to transmit information but uses its tentacles and secretions that are normally contracted in the abdominal cavity.”

Because he couldn’t understand, Jiang Chen quietly waited for Dr. Verdell Taylor to continue.

“Later, after careful study, we found an organ in their body that is comparable to the ‘Seismometer’!” Verdell Taylor’s voice was mixed with a hint of excitement. “We have observed this phenomenon on bats, but its function is obviously more powerful!”

“Using this special organ, they are very sensitive to the frequency and azimuth of shock waves. They can even discriminate the speed and direction of the prey through frequency changes! It is with this ability that they can easily lock in the position of prey and oxygen supply layers several kilometers deep.”

“Is this good news?” Jiang Chen smiled and said helplessly.

“Of course!” Verdell Taylor nodded affirmatively while still excited, “Only by knowing them can you know how to deal with them! After studying the larva, we have successfully found the shock frequency that is most easily captured by them. It is now being tested by frontline scientists. If our conclusions are finally proven to work, we can artificially create this ‘noise’.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He already understood what Dr. Verdell Taylor wanted to say.

If Devil Worms relied on shock waves, sound waves and other forms of vibration to identify the prey, then as long as they could artificially create the waves, it meant they could blindfold Devil Worms.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen also began to feel the same excitement.

Due to the proliferation of Devil Worms, the work of the colony was now almost completely stagnant. Even soldiers, without the protection of armored vehicles, did not dare to venture out. Not to mention the exploration rovers, as well as the reconstruction of the destroyed farm.

Now, a simple and effective method was almost in front of him!

“As long as a shock wave generating device can be built, it can constantly emits shock waves to the bottom of the colony…”

“Yes!” Verdell Taylor nodded and said with certainty. “This is what we imagined in the experiment! We only need to find the most sensitive frequency to Devil Worms and then use this to turn the colony into a ‘blind spot’!”
