It's said that Mai was "[[Quotes/Manual#Konoko|orphaned at the age of 3]]" and she said that her Chrysalis was implanted [[Quotes/Speech#Friends|at the age of 7]]. So the Chrysalis prototypes were created within approximately 4 years. How could this complex project be finished by a mere two-man army? | Hasegawa is not very specific but still very confident. Probably this is due to his regular research projects. He should have enough starting points for making a plan that fulfills his new intention and brings Kerr and the Syndicate to support him. | ||

So the Chrysalis prototypes were created within approximately 4 years. How could this complex project be finished by a mere two-man army? Not only they had excellent knowledge, they also used powerful tools. [[wikipedia:In_silico#Cell_models|in silico research]] at their time should be well established and advanced. | |||

Hasegawa hasn't forgotten that in silico and in vitro science brought Jamie into the grave. Due to the complexity of the Daodan, at least one male and one female prototype had to be tested in vivo before they could be sure the Daodan worked as it should. The Daodan mustn't become as disastrous as the mycorrhiza. Hasegawa and Mukade realized that they had to sacrifice at least one child to accomplish their goals. Kerr had a too soft personality to bear this. Hasegawa told Kerr only a minimum about the Daodan's final test results. | |||
Hasegawa wanted to produce more prototypes but the Syndicate got impatient. They decided to continue the research at a more secure place and forced Muro's Daodan implantation. <!--It wasn't not really matter of luck that Kerr was able to escape with Mai and the other prototype. That way he wouldn't get in the way when Muro needed to become a tool...--> | Hasegawa wanted to produce more prototypes but the Syndicate got impatient.

'''Higher energy consumption''' | |||
Developing Daodan host will be very hungry. (Anime cliché: strong characters are always hungry - e.g. Son Goku from Dragon Ball, Ruffy from One Piece, ...) Beside food consumption, Daodan hosts also have tracheae to absorb additional oxygen. These tracheae are even more important for [[#Transformation:_static_metamorphosis|static metamorphosis]]. | |||

:''In that respect, we might translate the full name "Daodan Chrysalis" as "code allowing metamorphoses to reach new states, each best adapted to the newly present environmental conditions" whereas "Chrysalis" could be also almost literally be taken as "Chrysalis" [pupal stage of butterflies]. In this case, we think it's some biological material on the body's surface that provides shelter and stability so a major metamorphosis can take place.'' | :''In that respect, we might translate the full name "Daodan Chrysalis" as "code allowing metamorphoses to reach new states, each best adapted to the newly present environmental conditions" whereas "Chrysalis" could be also almost literally be taken as "Chrysalis" [pupal stage of butterflies].

Solid Chrysalis tissue grows with static metamorphosis. Imagos can also utilize that graphene-based protection. However it's more flexible and uses electric energy to increase strength. Basically, AVATARA ported the graphene shield technology to an all-bio framework making Daodan host also more resistant to physical dangers. Breathing continues through tracheae (fine ''pipes'' that transport air from skin to the interior areas). Since the the tracheae aren't very effective, metabolism is slowed down and the developing organism appears lifeless. In extreme conditions, e.g. when buried, the Daodan can switch to [[wikipedia:Anaerobic_respiration#Examples_of_respiration|anaerobic respiration]]. These pathways are either acquired from existing symbiotic species in the human flora or the Daodan reach out to species that lives nearby in the ground. (This holds also a possible chance to utilize Bioc organelles/structures to get energy.) | |||
