Bear School Astartes

Chapter 415. Implant

Finally, before the experimental resources of the five groups were completely exhausted, Lann finally drew enough inspiration from previous failures.

And adjusted the experimental site parameters to the correct range.

On the fifth group of pure and flawless crystals, the originally turbid nutrient solution became clear and transparent once again.

The nutrients within and the flesh substrate, during recombination and growth, took the anticipated form—

A tubular organ.

But this did not mean that the experiment was a success.

This was an experiment observing ’cellular growth precision,’ where the shell was trivial, and the critical point was whether the delicate structure contained within that small volume could be perfectly presented.

Margaret stopped her magic power input.

The glow on the rune silk cloth gradually faded, and the runes themselves were disappearing.

Everyone in the laboratory, more or less, held their breath, staring at the small organ on the crystal.

This small organ determined whether the enormous investment in Airetusa’s experimental project could tentatively be used for profit.

Thus entering the process of capital recovery.

Actually, ever since Lann first tackled the difficulty of organ regeneration, voices within the academy suggested using this technology for profit.

However, Tishaya’s managerial style was inclined towards steadiness and patience, and her prestige was significant, so without her word, others could only murmur privately.

Tishaya saw clearly that crystal cultivation technology was not merely a means to expand profits.

Its ’medical’ and ’longevity’ attributes would make it highly sought after by nobles and major merchants.

Thus, caution was necessary.

Now, if even the issue of cellular regeneration precision was resolved, practicality was not far off.

As for the high costs... huh, currently, those who could utilize this technology would only feel embarrassed by not having diamonds inlaid on their regenerated limbs.

And under the gaze of everyone in the laboratory, Philixia slowly approached the final crystal.

The apprentice’s throat moved up and down, and her fingers trembled slightly with nervousness.

Finally, she carefully used floating magic to bring out the tubular organ, along with a small mass of nutrient solution.

She held it in her hands virtually, placing it in front of Lann.

The cat-like pupils within the Demon Hunter’s eyes contracted unpredictably.

In his hand was a feather quill, with which he wrote and drew on a roll of parchment.

"Form qualified, flip it over, I want to see the cross-section."

Philixia swallowed nervously, then followed the instructions.

Lann carefully observed the cross-section of the tubular organ; Mentos pulled up memory images and comparative images regarding the [skeletal reinforcement organ], projecting them onto Lann’s retina.

Finally...

"Alright, put it in."

Lann picked up a glass test tube, instructing Philixia to use floating magic to put the organ inside.

Once the tubular organ was inside, he naturally placed it on the table behind him.

"The experiment succeeded on the last attempt, our cellular regeneration precision increased by 1.7 to 2 times, capable of manufacturing high-precision biological organs. The ’error’ of this organ is completely within our control, a qualified ’error product.’

As he spoke, Lann wrote the final data and conclusions on the parchment roll with the feather pen.

After finishing, he handed the parchment to the Female Warlock waiting for the results beside him.

"This is the experimental result, pass it to Master Tishaya."

In the room, everyone exhaled a sigh of relief at the moment Lann gave the answer.

The Female Warlock awaiting the results left immediately upon receiving the parchment, while the logistic Female Warlock merely glanced at the glass tube containing the finished product, then slightly bowed towards Margaret and left with the recordings.

Philixia couldn’t help but feel excited, clenched her fists, blushing and softly saying "Yay."

This would be an asset to her future Warlock career.

An apprentice from a small merchant family would not find acquiring such an asset easy in normal times.

The experiment was over, and people in the laboratory gradually dispersed.

They all had expressions of excitement and joy on their faces.

For everyone knew, should know, the vast prospects of this technology.

And as the leader of this verification experiment, Lann was the last to leave, appearing to be sorting experimental data.

When others had almost all left, Margaret stood at the door, turned sideways towards the Demon Hunter inside and asked: "Need help?"

That was clearly not a question of whether help was needed in sorting data together.

At this moment, the Demon Hunter had already pocketed the unnoticed glass test tube.

His actions did not hide from Margaret.

"No, the hardest part is done; the rest I’m familiar with."

Lann stopped his meaningless tidying and said easily.

"I’m not sure what you’re going to do, but..." The blonde beauty resting at the door looked earnestly at her lover. "You should know that if you need me, I’m always here."

"Thank you, Rita." Lann paused slightly, then smiled gently, "If I need you, I won’t act tough and hide it from you."

Upon hearing this, the Female Warlock smiled charmingly like a blooming rose.

"Oh, yes. You won’t act tough, considering how naturally you took the bank check from my hand."

"Hey!"

Facing the Demon Hunter’s dissatisfied voice, Margaret gracefully closed the laboratory door, leaving the space for Lann.

When the room turned quiet, alone, Lann took out the glass test tube from his pocket again.

The small tubular organ floating inside this ordinary test tube was the power to build the foundation of a mighty warrior’s skeleton.

"Mentos."

"I’m here, sir."

Lann rubbed the glass test tube in his hand.

"Prepare to start the surgery."

"...Understood."

Thanks to the alchemy pouch becoming a spatial expansion pack, many of Lann’s items were now portable.

Including his surgical toolset and magic potion set for surgery.

His toolset is completely updated, all made by Belengar from Valerian steel, small, sharp, and tough.

The magic potion set, thanks to Airetusa Library’s foundation, and Belengar’s teaching.

The formulas were all updated to the reinforcement level.

[Swallow] allows for slow healing to inhibit bleeding.

[Pure White Rafad] can restore severe trauma at once, sealing up the surgery.

[White Honey] is for emergencies.

In case the surgical wound is larger than expected, more restorative magic potions will be used; it can prevent excess toxin accumulation from drinking too many magic potions.

"This surgery targets the spinal vertebrae, the surgical view has been synchronized to the retina, please check."

Mentos’s work was as efficient as always.

Lann had already removed his shirt, slightly moving his shoulders.

"Luckily, this time I don’t have to cut into the spinal cord, just attach the [skeletal reinforcement organ] to the vertebral bone, otherwise I couldn’t complete the surgery on my own."

Lann took a long breath.

Mentos timely interjected.

"Yes, that’s an unavoidable issue, sir. During the later enhancement process, there’s even brain surgery involved, which can’t be endured solely through willpower. You’ll need a surgeon you can absolutely trust, or simply utilize an intelligent surgical platform."

"I trust Rita, but trust aside, she clearly doesn’t have the skill. The Lady of the Lake is the same, she’s a goddess, but not a goddess of medicine. Her medical methods are as crude as a magic pool, purely infusing life force, too rough."

Lann held the surgical tools in his hand while complaining.

Mentos listened quietly, then after his silence, spoke with a tone resembling persuasion and earnestness.

"Sir... it’s fine to say these things to me. It’s best not to let anyone else hear."

Otherwise, I’m afraid you’re going to be in trouble.

Mr. Lan confidently and disdainfully smiled.

"Heh, of course, I’d only tell you; do you think I’m stupid?"

Mentos: You’d better not be stupid!
