What would you do if you suddenly gained Superman's powers?
Beat up Batman first?
But there's no Batman in the real world!
"First, I have to ensure my own safety."...
Gao Ang did not put the skin and flesh directly into the sunlight. He needed some time for the skin and flesh to decompose the nutrients that had been produced.
This environment must be dark, without any sunlight, only in this way can the decomposition of starch be accelerated.
This process will take approximately five to six hours.
During this time, he obediently lay on the deck chair on the balcony and gave himself a full-feeling sunbath.
"This piece of meat has so much energy; if we don't replenish it, we'll be at a huge loss."
Perhaps because of the pain he had endured, Gao Ang actually fell asleep under the sunlight.
He didn't start the next experiment until he was woken up by the alarm clock.
There are three conditions for photosynthesis: water, sunlight, and chloroplasts.
The high-quality tissue is what he hypothesized to be chloroplasts. Soaking this tissue in mineral water for a short while will produce water.
He covered half of the flesh with the prepared black cigarette box foil, then carried the tissue containing the flesh to the balcony.
To prevent it from being blown away by the wind, he placed the piece of flesh under the balcony and nailed it to a wooden deck chair with thumbtacks.
It was already 5:30 pm, and there were still more than two hours before it got dark, which was plenty of time.
After the skin and flesh were properly placed, Gao Ang finally let out a long sigh of relief: "I've put in a lot of effort and blood to do this experiment, so please don't let me down, or it would be such a waste of this...wound!"
At this point, Gao Ang stared in disbelief at his smooth, unblemished left arm.
He blinked a few times, trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
The wound was cut at noon, how could it be gone already?
Or was his memory of that noon a lie, and it was all just his own illusion?
But there are still a few streaks of blood on my arm, and a few yellowish-brown marks from iodine.
He glanced back, and there was still that piece of flesh pinned to the spot!
Looking at his left forearm and then at the patch of flesh pinned to the nail, Gao Ang felt a chill run down his spine: this was a serious blunder.
Although he realized he had night vision last night and even conducted a detailed investigation to confirm it, he wasn't particularly surprised that it was just night vision.
Imagine you had night vision, what would you do?
Do you keep the lights off all day just to save on electricity?
Or is it that you run to the roadside in the middle of the night, head down, searching for other people's lost items?
Within his limited understanding, he didn't consider night vision to be a particularly impressive ability; for him, its greatest use was simply to distinguish between day and night, nothing more.
However, the rapid healing of this wound broke a bottom line in his heart.
Any ability that is aggressive is rejected by the powerful.
Rapid wound healing, theoretically speaking, should be considered a defensive capability, since this capability does not involve active aggression.
However, another point must be considered: if a person is extremely defensive, will it breed aggression within them?
Gao Yang was well aware of this, and as a top student in psychology, he firmly believed in it.
Even if someone is extremely incompetent and cowardly, if given this ability and allowed to witness the miracle of rapidly healing wounds, Gao Feng is 100% certain that the harm this person would cause to society would be far greater than the harm caused by an ordinary person acquiring this ability.
The human mind is like a spring; the harder it is compressed, the more violently it rebounds.
This saying is also supported by the stock market: the longer the horizontal movement, the longer the vertical movement.
There is also a saying in ancient Chinese: "When things reach their worst, they begin to turn around."
Of course, the phrase "after the worst comes the best" might not be the most appropriate way to describe it, but Gao Feng clearly knew what he was going to do next.
First: Ensure your secrets are not discovered by others -- the first rule of life: safety first;
Second: Thoroughly analyze your own situation and train accordingly, including but not limited to both physical and mental training;
Third: Investigate the specific cause of the physical mutation, verify whether there are similar creatures, and confirm whether they are hostile to you;
These three points represent Gao Yang's high standards for himself. They may seem simple, but there is actually quite a lot to do.
He was quite confident in ensuring that his secrets remained undiscovered.
He's a streamer, and he basically lives the life of a shut-in. He stays in his little house all day long, never going out. Apart from picking up takeout or packages, he doesn't even have any direct contact with other people.
Analyze your own physical condition. This requires careful planning. From height and weight to various abilities including but not limited to vision, hearing, smell, strength, speed, healing ability, and photosynthesis, you need to create a file and analyze and compare the data one by one.
The above are just physical records; he also needs to strengthen his mental fortitude. After all, there's a saying: "You have to do both things well."
He doesn't particularly care about physical abilities, nor does he disregard them, but rather he doesn't value them that much.
He values his own psychological fluctuations more. He is afraid that if he gains some extra abilities, his mental state will change and he will become the kind of person he hates the most.
As for the third point, it is to find the specific factors that caused the changes in one's body, whether it is an external or internal cause, a conspiracy or a coincidence.
Actions speak louder than words; procrastination is not a commendable style.
He pulled an unopened diary from the bookshelf, tore off the packaging, opened the title page, flicked his pen a few times, and wrote the following line in regular script on the title page: My Mutant Diary.
[June 19th, sunny day.
Starting yesterday, my body has undergone some incredible changes.
Based on observations over the past two days, the following points are noted:
1. The eyes have night vision capabilities; other capabilities are currently unknown and will be subject to further observation.
2. The skin or other parts exhibit 'photosynthesis-like' activity, which is currently being tested, and further results are pending verification.
3. The body has an extremely strong self-healing ability, the specific reasons for which are unknown, and the strength of the self-healing is unknown. Further observation and verification are needed.
No other abnormalities have been found so far, and the cause of the physical variation is unknown and requires further investigation.
...
After finishing writing this note, Gao Ang glanced at the balcony. It wasn't dark yet; it would probably take another half hour.
He didn't plan to conduct the experiment now; he wanted to wait until the skin and flesh could fully photosynthesize, and then the comparison would be more obvious.
Taking advantage of this time, he decided to test his healing ability and see if it was real or not.
