Chapter 261
Known: [See through Invisibility] can see the spiritual light of living beings.
Question: What is the spiritual light of life?
As he approached the answer, Garrett became calmer instead. The next verification work required sufficiently refined prerequisites — even with complete prerequisites, many newly-minted students experienced experiment failures, experiment failures, experiment failures...
Garrett calmed down and began manipulating scales, pipettes, beakers, and flasks. Preparing Renshi’s solution, he welded zinc and copper plates together to make a zinc-copper bow. Hmm, magic made things much easier; he heated them until they softened, directly joined them together, and then cooled them down... Done!
Perfect!
Then, Garrett began preparing frogs, nailing them to wooden boards, destroying their brains and spinal cords, and cutting off the upper half of their bodies... Completing the sciatic nerve-gastrocnemius muscle specimen. The laboratory was bloody, barbaric enough to make barbarians grimace, but Garrett remained impassive throughout, even showing some excitement.
Just kidding, even though medical students weren’t as accustomed to dissections as their biology colleagues, they had dissected dozens of frogs, mice, cats, and dogs, so who would fear such scenes!
And throughout, Garrett even maintained his meditation, not being swayed by emotional fluctuations. Under the [See through Invisibility], the spiritual light of life silently flickered and quietly fell into the meditative field of view.
What excited Garrett was that even with only a piece of spine and frog legs remaining, a faint spiritual light could still be seen in his meditative vision.
So...
Zinc-copper bow, dipped in Renshi’s solution, stimulating the sciatic nerve!
The moment the metal pieces touched each end, the frog’s gastrocnemius muscle contracted violently. At the same time, the spiritual light in Garrett’s meditative vision visibly jumped up!
Correct!
The magic [See through Invisibility], seeing the spiritual light, was most likely the bioelectricity of organisms!
Then...
Then, if the nerves are suppressed, is it possible that after cutting off the nerve response, the sensation of pain in the terminal limbs will no longer be transmitted to the brain?
Garrett impulsively threw a spell onto his thigh. Then, he bent down and pinched his calf hard.
It really didn’t hurt!
Garrett continued to split the spell model. In this spell, the part that determines the nature of the spell resembles a flower, and underneath the flower are numerous coiled roots. Garrett tried omitting the part of the roots, casting the spell again...
The frog struggled violently. However, when the spell was thrown to the frog’s head, the frog immediately calmed down, and the spiritual light in its head also became gentle, with no more violent fluctuations. And by omitting the flower part and directly outlining the roots, casting again—
Effective on the limbs, ineffective on the head!
Interesting. Garrett’s eyes gleamed, recording quickly. So the "flower" part controlled the central nervous system, making the brain unable to recognize pain, while the "roots" part suppressed sensory nerves, inhibiting bioelectric conduction?
This mechanism is very interesting!
Moreover, after splitting and narrowing the range of the spell’s coverage, the magical power consumed by this magic directly reduced from second-order magic to first-order magic. Such changes were certainly not very useful in combat. The smaller the coverage area, the lower the likelihood of hitting the target. If there were multiple wounds on the body, it would be even more impractical — it blocks here but not there...
But in medical treatment, it would be very useful!
Local anesthesia!
If local anesthesia is possible, why use general anesthesia!
If spinal anesthesia is possible, there’s no need for general anesthesia!
Wasting anesthetic, no, wasting magical power, and also affecting the patient’s recovery!
Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, go to the clinic and give it a try! If there are no suitable patients in the clinic, he can go to the dock, to the fleet. There, the porters and soldiers are often involved in bumps and scrapes, so he should find an opportunity!Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
