i have a super island

Chapter 689 Anatomical Studies
In the room, Song Zhixi was seriously dissecting the corpse of the shark.

Her pair of beautiful eyes stared unwaveringly at the incision, and the sharp obsidian blade rested on her fingertips, cutting every inch of the mermaid's skin bit by bit.

It didn't look like there was any big movement, but a layer of sweat had already emerged from the tip of her nose.

In order to prevent beads of sweat from falling on the corpse, Jing Jing at the side would promptly wipe off the fine sweat on Song Zhixi's face.

I have to say that the professional ones are different. After Song Zhixi's treatment, the skin, dermis, fat layer, and blood vessels of a mermaid corpse were all decomposed one by one.

On the operating table, the merman's corpse had become a pile of separate organs.

Quietly standing by the side without speaking, watching Song Zhixi's miraculous technique seriously, until Song Zhixi finished the autopsy, the little girl finally asked the doubts in her heart.

"Ma'am, why did you cut up the corpses of these sharks?"

"come here."

Song Zhixi was not in a hurry to explain, but asked Jing Jing to come over and point to a pair of fist-sized fan-shaped organs on the table.

"See, these are their lungs. Like us humans, they also have a pair of lungs, but their lungs are very small, which is why they live in the sea. But it is also because of these lungs, They can come to land from the sea."

"This...is this their lungs?"

Jing Jing looked surprised, looking at the pair of purple organs in disbelief.

Song Zhixi said: "They are different from us. These sharks have a double respiratory system. You can see that behind their ears, there are gills for breathing, and they have lungs and gills at the same time, which allows them to adapt to the environment in the sea and on land."

In addition to the lungs, Song Zhixi also showed Jing Jing the heart, kidneys, liver, and stomach of the shark.

In the stomach pouch, some erosive small fish and shrimps were found, in addition to shark teeth. It seems that these guys have a very rich diet. In addition to fish, shrimp, crab shells, those big guys in the sea are also their food.

After dissecting the upper half of the merman, the lower part is more troublesome.

First, the thick layer of scales on the surface is removed, so that the skin under the tough scales can be cut.

As expected, the entire tail is a strong muscle structure, and the middle of the tail is a strong spine structure.

Apart from the muscles and bones, the lower half is actually nothing special.

Jing Jing at the side couldn't find any other words to describe her mood at this time other than surprise, she never thought that a mermaid would be completely disassembled in Song Zhixi's hands like this.

"Then how do they have babies?"

Jingjing, who was watching Song Zhixi's dissection, suddenly raised a question that caught Song Zhixi by surprise.

Song Zhixi looked a little unnatural, and said: "This merman is male, and the vas deferens and utensils were found in his body. Judging from this structure, it is likely to be viviparous like humans, but everything needs to be dissected." Only the female merman can know."

"Ma'am, what do you mean by these words?" Quiet's little face was full of curiosity.

Song Zhixi glanced at Jing Jing, and didn't want to talk about this topic at first, but seeing that she is also in her teens, it is not a bad thing to receive some correct surname education in a timely manner.

So, while studying the corpse of the merman, he asked Jingjing about how everyone came to this world.

Jing Jing had never heard of these things before, but now they sounded as unbelievable as mermaids.

After talking about this, Song Zhixi looked at Jing Jing with a smile, and suddenly felt that this little girl was so innocent and cute, that she actually had a feeling of treating her like a daughter.

"Do you understand what I told you just now?" Song Zhixi asked with a smile.

"I know, I know." Jing Jing blushed slightly.

"Go get the chisel, I'm going to cut my head open."

"Oh, I'll go right now."

……

Conference hall.

Everyone gathered here, waiting for Song Zhixi's autopsy report.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. If you want to fight these mermaids, you must first figure out what they are.

Before Song Zhixi arrived, everyone talked to each other and discussed the origin of the mermaid.

"These mermaids shouldn't be alien creatures, right?"

"Maybe we are alien creatures compared to this sea area."

"..."

Amidst the discussion, Song Zhixi came to the meeting hall.

Among the crowd, Equation was the most anxious. Seeing Song Zhixi coming, he immediately showed joy, stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"Go in and talk."

Song Zhixi smiled at Fang Fang and motioned to go in first.

After coming to the hall, Song Zhixi only started to talk about the situation of the sharks when everyone was quiet.

"After anatomy, it was found that the upper body of these sharks is somewhat similar to ours, with a complete brain, but the brain volume is very small, only about a quarter of ours."

"In the biological world, apart from human beings, this is considered very powerful, right?" Wei Lin said.

Song Zhixi nodded and said: "Yes, that is to say, they can do simple thinking, have a certain memory ability, and have the ability to communicate with their companions."

Speaking of the body structure of these mermaids, it is really amazing. They have all the organs that humans have, but they are relatively weakened.

Of course, they also have something that humans don't have, such as a double respiratory system.

"Where's that big guy?" Fang asked.

"I also dissected it, and found some things that may belong to their biological group." Song Zhixi became serious, "That huge mermaid has no reproductive organs in its body, and it is different from other mermaids."

"Isn't that... eunuch, eunuch?" Fang Fang was speechless.

Song Zhixi shook his head and said, "I think this is similar to the phenomenon that there are queens, drones, worker ants, and soldier ants in an ant colony. This kind of giant mermaid may be born specifically for fighting in their colony."

Fang Fang held his chin and said, "They still have such a clear division of labor?"

"Of course, this is just my guess." Song Zhixi said, "And I also discovered an interesting phenomenon."

"What phenomenon?"

The people next to him asked in unison.

Song Zhixi gave some instructions to Jing Jing who was beside her, and seeing Jing Jing ran out in a hurry.

Not long after, two islanders brought a dried merman corpse to the hall.

There were a lot of merman corpses brought back that day, except for those used for dissection, the rest were made into dried fish.

"Zhixi, what are you doing?" Li Qingman asked curiously.

"You look good."

With a smile on his face, Song Zhixi walked towards the dried merman corpse with a glass of water.

Under everyone's gaze, Song Zhixi poured the glass of water in his hand onto the mummified body of the shark.
