The sounds of flesh being cut and bodily fluids flowing paused for a while. The one holding the knife seemed shocked by the unexpectedly revealing information and fell into thought.
But soon, the cutting resumed, and the analysis of the human body continued.
Terra humans' bodies were nothing like something that had evolved naturally—most natural organisms possessed structures that were immensely convoluted, useless, even self-contradictory, merely good enough to get by... To use an analogy, they were like crooked, twisted trees: ugly and lacking beauty, yet still capable of surviving, even thriving in health.
But the flesh of Terra humans was nothing like that. They were more like towering, straight pines, so healthy they possessed the beauty of life itself. Their more rational lung structures, incredibly sturdy livers, and certain unknown organs whose functions were still unclear all appeared distinct and full of vitality.
Uh, putting that aside, what were these protruding cartilages around the vertebrae and cervical spine?
Let me think. Right, they should reinforce and stabilize the spinal structure. Indeed, their resistance to impact would be far greater. Ordinary blows would find it difficult to give Terra humans concussions. This was full-body armament—Terra humans were armed right down to their teeth!
Even on Earth, achieving such a result would require genetic modification beginning from the fertilized egg stage... Speaking of which, that gizzard looked awfully familiar. It was very similar to a Taotie Type-3 Auxiliary Digestive Organ, but that was an advanced genetic organ equipped only by elite exploration team members on extraterrestrial colonies. Ordinary people had no use for it at all.
The available tools lacked the capability to perform a dissection of the brain, but the results were already sufficient to draw a conclusion: Terra humans were a superior race comparable to New Humans.
