Heavenly Monarch Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Blue Blood.

One morning, Chen Xiao spent a lot of patience teaching her how to survive in this house - exaggerated, but the process was not easy.

At least, Chen Xiao succeeded in teaching her how to use some household appliances - in the case of plugging in electricity! Because she seem to have no idea about electrical appliances such as TV sets and microwave ovens, the plugs behind the wires. She didn't know that she had to plug in to turn on the electricity. Instead, she had to reach out and touch it habitually - she seemed to like discharging herself.

Chen Xiao quickly stopped her, righteousness and strict rhetoric are required for her, in the future in unnecessary circumstances, she can not easily discharge.

She simply nodded and said, "oh. "

"Yi? Why don't you ask?

She just smiled, her smile was apologetic, and the voice said softly, "I know, I asked a lot of questions last night, you have some distress. So... I won't ask."

"Actually..." Chen Xiaogang wanted to explain something, but he thought about it and could not explain too much himself.

Successfully, he taught her how to use all kinds of household supplies, toothbrushes, water pipes, food in the refrigerator, what to eat and what to drink.

Fortunately, to Chen Xiao's surprise, this girl is extremely clever! One thing, she just needs to look at it once and it will happen immediately. Tell her what she has to do, and she'll just listen to it once and remember it right away!

Chen Xiao patted his head and ran into the study, an old house left by his parents. Chen Xiao's parents were both high-level intellectuals, so there were many books at home. He turned out a small encyclopedia of life and gave it to her.

"After you have seen this, it should be of use to you."

The result surprised Chen Xiao again!

The 300-page Encyclopedia of Life took her less than an hour to read. And when Chen Xiao asked her a few questions with half faith and half doubt, she recited them like a stream!

"You..." Chen Xiao looked at Lingling's, the nickname he gave, innocent eyes and muttered to himself, "Now I doubt more and more that you are human."

At noon, Chen Xiao made a lunch. Although his own life is very simple, but now there is a female guest at home, he is embarrassed to always let people eat instant noodles, but personally went to the kitchen to make a fried rice, and cut two tomatoes to prepare a soup.

But after all, you're there, staring at yourself with a "studious" look, although you're used to being stared at by those girls while working in a fast food restaurant. But the beauty of the girl is much higher than those of the little girls, and the lethality index of the eyes is also increased by a geometric multiple.

As a result...

"Ah!"

Chen Xiao cut his finger.

[I really like the Segway, good writing]

Lingling looked at Chen Xiao and screamed. He had a fine knife cut on his finger. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but the blood kept flowing. Chen Xiao sighed and turned around to get the bandage, but he saw Lingling looking at his finger, and her eyes were a little weird, beyond words! ______________

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao frowned: "This is blood... You haven't seen blood, have you?

She shook her head, but looked at Chen Xiao carefully. "May I ask a question?"

"Yes."

"Excuse me..." "Why is your blood red? Are you infected with the virus, too? Are you going to die soon?

"..." -

He inhaled deeply and tried to keep calm. Chen Xiao looked into Lingling's eyes and said in a calm voice, "First, human blood is red..."

Looking at Lingling she looks like she wants say something, Chen Xiao waved: "You let me finish first."

He looked into the girl's eyes and said, "Second... Now that you say that, what color do you think blood should be?

"Blue." You answered quickly.

As if to prove herself, she quickly picked up the kitchen knife on the counter. Before Chen Xiao responded, she had gently pierced her fingertips!

Chen Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted! Because he is wondering whether he was hallucinating or not. But the fact is in front of us: at the cute fingertip wound, the blood flowing out is of faint blue!

It's ice blue like her eyes!

Blue-blooded people?!

He vaguely remembered that he had read a popular science magazine, as if there were some strange descriptions about blue blood, but it had been too long to remember.

Chen Xiao stayed for a while, hiding his excitement, tore open a bandage and put it on her finger, then he ran back to his study thereafter, turned on the computer, logged on the network, opened GOOGLE, typed "blue blood" and searched!

The search results are troublesome: most of the search results are from the famous writer Nikuang's novel Blue Blood Man. But Chen Xiao still found some useful information.

After a quick one-by-one browsing, Chen Xiao shut down some useless web pages and focused his attention on a search article:

"... Some rare organisms lack a special enzyme in their bodies, which results in blue blood. Such organisms, such as some mollusk that has been found to live three kilometers deep in the ocean, have blue proteins called hemocyanin dissolved in their haemolymph. Blue proteins are also the main oxygen-carrying component, so they present blue blood.

For a century, it has been a controversial topic whether there are blue blood races in human beings. According to speculation, for example, the oxygen content of blue blood cells is much lower than that of red blood cells in the analysis of blood samples from known blue blood organisms. If there is a blue blood human, then the oxygen content in the blood is too low, it can not guarantee the normal requirements of the human body. Therefore, the Er academic circles have always held a negative view on the existence of blue-blooded people.

But another hypothesis is that if hemocytes are really hypoxic cells, a corollary can also be drawn: at present, we already know that one of the main reasons why the human body aging, is that the "oxygen" contained in the cells will lead to the aging of the human body, which is called "oxidation". Metals will deteriorate in the process of oxidation, and so will the human body.

If there are people with blue blood, then because the oxygen content of human body blood is lower than the normal level, the metabolism of this kind of blood is much slower than that of normal people, so the growth of body appearance is slow and aging is very slow.

Whether blue-blooded people really exist or not is not a definite conclusion at present, but the author has consulted the data. At the beginning of last century, some scholars claimed that the existence of blue-blooded people was found in an alpine region. Unfortunately, because of its long history, it is impossible to find textual research materials at present.

The article was signed by a German biology professor.

Chen Xiao's study is very good, at least his biology class is very good. So he also knows a common sense: when people breathe, inhale oxygen, so that blood red blood cells get enough oxygen, in order to maintain the normal operation of the human body.

In the same way, oxidation is also a kind of overlook: the same is true of metals, such as silver, such as iron. Metals exposed to air for a long time will rust, which is actually an oxidation process.

If there is blue blood, on the one hand, it can make the human body work properly... In addition, it can also resist oxidation and aging...

That is to say, people with blue blood will be... Forever-young?

Er... The term "immortality" may be exaggerated, but it is possible to age more slowly than normal people.

Seeing this, his heart thumped up: Lingling, blue-blooded people, actually exist! And one is staying by his own home!

Lingling watched Chen Xiao rush back to the room anxiously, sitting beside the computer and staring at the screen in a daze. She followed quietly and stood beside Chen Xiao.

It seems that she hesitated for a moment, but she was curious, "What's wrong? Are you really infected with the virus?

Viruses?

Wait, wait!!

Chen Xiao's heart moved!

Leaving aside the common sense that human blood should be red, you don't know. What she said just now seems to be strange too! ____________

 Ling's original words are: Are you infected with the virus, too? Will you die too?

In a seemingly simple sentence, adding the word "you" seems to have a deeper meaning.

Looking at the girl, Chen Xiao looked very serious: "What do you mean by 'you'? Besides you, do you know that there are other people whose blood is blue? Why do you think red blood is infected by a virus?

Hearing this question, Ling's soft face showed a slight sadness. Looking from the side, her face was covered with sadness and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Before... No. 6, No. 11 and No. 14 were all blue blood, but then the blood turned red..." "They told me, No. 6, No. 11, No. 14.... because they died of a virus infection."

Chen Xiao keenly noticed that when she mentioned "them" again, her body was still shaking involuntarily, and a deep fear could not be concealed in her tone.
