Vol 4 Chapter 6: She loves seafood


  Mi Qiao has always wondered why Mr. Ming Mingliang knew a lot about the characteristics of the mutant creatures, but he didn't tell the people who worked for the secret department of "Shen Xing Technology" and didn't let them know enough information.
   If the general staff does not have enough confidentiality to let them know, then there is still something to say.
   But Dr. Fang Pingfang, and the rest of the team, have a very high level of confidentiality. Especially that Dr. Fang Pingfang and Li Shizheng, who is in charge of security, both went to the Qinling uninhabited area to perform tasks and even acted as the person in charge. The rabbit woodcarvings and other related objects were also brought out by them. Dr. Fang even presided over the inspection and analysis of those things, and discovered the abnormality caused by the rabbit woodcarving on the 18th, and closed the underground laboratory in time.
   And now, this team is also led by Dr. Fang. Mr. Liang has said many times that Dr. Fang can grasp the direction and make his own decisions. Moreover, the entire team had seen the two mutant creatures with their own eyes, and had already been exposed to enough information. It seems that Mr. Liang should trust them all.
   It stands to reason that Mr. Liang should at least inform Dr. Fang of some information about the biological characteristics of the mutation. Otherwise, how would she make a decision and how would she decide the direction of the investigation?
   In fact, Mi Qiao privately contacted Mr. Liang two days ago to inquire about this matter.
In fact, she has asked a similar question many times before, why the staff in the secret department and the researchers in the laboratories seem to know very little about mutant organisms, or even don’t know what their purpose is. What is their research direction.
   But for her question, Mr. Liang did not give a direct answer.
   So she asked Mr. Liang if she could tell Dr. Fang or other team members the characteristics of some of the mutant creatures she knew. Mr. Liang’s answer was "you decide according to the situation."
   This confuses her very much, and she is a little confused about Mr. Liang's intentions.
   So for the past two days, she has been thinking about whether to tell Dr. Fang and the others, to what extent, and what is the reason for Mr. Liang's attitude.
   But it wasn't until just now, after listening to the dialogue between Dr. Fang and Mr. Liang, that she finally made a decision.
   After entering the room, Dr. Fang let her sit down first, poured her a cup of hot drink, and then sat down in front of her and asked her if she had anything to say.
Seeing the steaming cup of instant coffee in her hand, Mi Qiao was in a daze for a while, recalling that the night she had just arrived here, she was also talking in Dr. Fang’s room and asked Dr. Fang to tell her what happened in Qinling’s no man’s land. , And the abnormal situation in the laboratory in Antie Town, and the peculiarity of the rabbit woodcarving.
   At that time, Dr. Fang also poured her a cup of hot drink, remembering it was hot milk.
   And that night, she dreamed of the conversation with Dr. Fang and also of Guo Tianxiang.
   In his dream, Guo Tian asked her for help and said "Mr. Xinliang".
She knew that dreams were just dreams, and had nothing to do with reality, and did not mean anything. After that, she never dreamed of Guo Tianxiang again, but she didn’t know why. During this period of time, she would always think of that dream and think about it. That sentence.
   She also didn't know, she had to tell Dr. Fang some information now, whether she was affected by that dream.
   "Dr. Fang, for the two creatures we are currently investigating, I actually still know some relevant information..." Mi Qiao said carefully.
   Fang Pingfang didn’t seem surprised by what she said, but after nodding, he said first: "What you told me, does it comply with the relevant provisions of the confidentiality agreement? First, please ask Mr. Liang to make sure?"
   Mi Qiao said: "No, I have asked before, Mr. Liang meant that I can decide by myself."
   Fang Pingfang nodded: "Then you tell me."
"If the two creatures we are investigating and looking for are the kind of creatures I think... Then, they should not be a new species from the beginning. They are probably not what they are now, but ordinary Or even common creatures. For example, the'giant bird of prey' may have been just an ordinary bird."
   "Do you mean that the current characteristics of that'giant bird of prey' and'invisible insect' are the result of mutation?" Fang Pingfang asked. This possibility was actually something she had considered.
Mi Qiao said: "If they are the kind of creatures I think...well, from the current point of view, I think they are. Then, they should have several characteristics, one is blood sucking, no matter what they are originally. After the mutation, the blood of other creatures will be the main food;
"The second is that after leaving the body, their body tissues will quickly lose activity, and then undergo drastic changes, turning into a fixed special fine powder-like object, which can easily dissipate in the air and cannot be caught by the naked eye, unlike ordinary Biological body tissues will undergo a relatively slow decomposition process;
"The third is that mutant creatures have the instinct of hunting and predating each other, or demand. And some mutant creatures, after mutation, may be keen on blood of the same kind...So I speculate that the'invisible insect', There is a high probability that it mutated from some kind of ant;
"Fourthly, this mutation may enhance the inherent characteristics of certain creatures. For example, the'giant bird of prey' has become larger, more capable of flying, and more sensory. It may also make them more peculiar. Ability, such as being invisible, to adapt to the environment."
  While Mi Qiao was talking, Fang Pingfang kept listening, thinking while listening.
   After Miqiao finished speaking, Fang Pingfang got up and walked a few steps in the room, digesting the information.
   She did not question the authenticity of the information, because Mi Qiao did not have the motive to deceive her, and many of these information are consistent with the phenomena she actually observed, which can explain many doubts that could not be answered before.
   She also didn't ask why Mi Qiao had only revealed the key information until now, although it was obvious that Mi Qiao had not just learned the information.
   She is very aware of the particularity of the work she is doing now, and many things can only be found on her own. Many questions, if others do not tell you, then you will not get any answer if you ask "why", just like Mr. Liang's weird attitude towards their team.
   "It is caused by the mutation of ordinary creatures, does that mean...people might also have such mutations?" Fang Pingfang stopped pacing in the room and asked Mi Qiao.
   "Yes." Mi Qiao responded briefly.
   This question reminded Mi Qiao of Guo Tianxiang, while Fang Pingfang thought of the footprints, caves, and rabbit wood carvings found in the Qinling no man’s land.
   But both of them simultaneously thought of another person who might be involved in mutation-Mr. Liang.
   But they did not go further on this topic tacitly.
Fang Pingfang thought for a while and said, "I think I know the direction of our investigation next. Our focus should be on the'mutation' of those organisms, their'mutation reasons' and'mutation process'. And other relevant information, not themselves. I think this is also the direction Mr. Liang wants us to investigate."
  Miccio nodded: "I agree."
Fang Pingfang said: "After listening to your words, I suddenly wondered whether it would be possible in that mountainous area on the night of the 20th, in addition to the'giant bird of prey' and the'invisible insect', there was a third one we did not investigate Known mutant creature. It may want to kill the'giant bird of prey', but it has noticed the existence of the drone and has scruples about us, so it wants to use stones to alarm the bird of prey and let it leave our surveillance. As for why it was not discovered by the drone, it is likely that it has other means of "stealth", just like that mutated "stealth insect" cannot be detected by the naked eye, then the "third mutant creature", maybe even infrared thermal imaging There are ways to avoid radar detection."
Mi Qiao nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, there was a mutant creature that could fly and had a stronger'stealth' ability. He took the stone and flew to the side of our drone. The stones were thrown on the side of the'Giant Raptor' to start it and make it spot the drone?"
Fang Pingfang said: "This is my guess, but this can really explain why the stone fell from that location and in that path. Next, the main directions of our investigation are'invisible insects' and'giant birds of prey. 'The reason and process of mutation, and verify this conjecture."
  ……
   After leaving Lao Xia who had eaten lunch, Xiang Kun spent the afternoon processing the ingredients, preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, and chatting with his parents.
But after knowing that Xiang Kun would cook something to eat in the evening and take it to the hospital to make supper for Xia Libing on duty, my mother went directly to find a relationship, went to her friend who was interested in making water, and got a fresh one. Tai Olong, there are other expensive seafood.
   Today is the New Year’s Eve. It is conceivable that even if it is a friendly price, the price will not be too low.
In Xiang Kun’s memory, in the past 30 years, he was the only one who was admitted to the university and received the admission letter. His mother brought a lobster back to make him eat, and at the time, he bought the relatively inexpensive Bolong. The little one.
   My mother, who has always been thrifty, suddenly became so proud. He was a little surprised to buy so many seafood ingredients at a high price on New Year’s Eve.
"How about it, will you get it? This thing is so expensive, more expensive than your mother's phone, you should be careful to get it, don't spoil it..." After the lobster dragon came back, Xiang's mother was next to Xiangkun. Stop talking.
   Xiang Kun simply spread his hands and let go: "Then I won't do it, you come."
   "Hey? Didn't you say that you did it? You did it. Didn't Xiao Xia say that you like the food you do? You do it!" said, waving her hand to her mother.
   Xiangkun said helplessly: "Old...Xia Xia didn't say that she likes lobster."
   "I asked at noon, she said she loves seafood."
   "At that time, she was eating shrimp, and you asked her if she liked seafood, of course she said she loved it." Xiang Kun said, "Mom, how do you want to eat, eat sashimi, or steam and get some fans?"
   "What kind of thorn, eat it when you cook it! Hey, anyway, you can make whatever you think Xiaoxia likes." Said to mom.
   "What do you mean...that Dongxingma, that octopus, and that crab are all for Xiaoxia?"
   "That's right." Xiang Ma replied naturally.
   Xiangkun resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Mom, did you treat her like a pig? So many, how can she finish eating, or supper... Are you asking me to go directly to the third courtyard to set up a table for her?"
   glared at him: "Don't you do the same thing?"
   "Okay, just do a little bit, let's eat the rest, what flavour do you and dad want to eat?"
   Although he had already cooked lobster the last time he went to Tang Baona’s for Christmas dinner, he had studied the recipes for a long time beforehand, and the tastes they made were also well received.
But as far as Xiang Kun himself is concerned, he doesn’t like to cook this kind of dishes. Fresh Aolong has a very good taste and texture, leaving him not much room for specific seasoning and cooking. There is not much room for him to display. If you use too much seasoning and too complicated cooking methods, it feels a bit violent and a waste of ingredients.
   Of course, the most important thing is that he didn't conduct too much research on this kind of food, didn't try and summarize too much, and the cognitive model established was not comprehensive enough.
   Xiangkun finally processed half of the high-priced seafood that his mother bought back, and accompany his parents to shabu-shabu to eat at night, and put the remaining half aside for later cooking before going to Lao Xia.
He thought about whether to make lobster and fish dumplings, but after considering the texture and taste of these ingredients, as well as the way and experience of eating dumplings, he felt that it was a bit wasteful to do so, so he planned to make a lobster fan and a portion. Take the fish soup.
   After six o'clock, before eating, Xiang Kun's cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a video request from Apple.
   Although Little Apple’s eyes cannot see things, since Xiangkun was pulled into the group with Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, and Lao Xia, now video calls are also very proficient, especially with Tang Baona.
   The big UP owner of station B often guides Little Apple to sing through connected videos. "Yougiveloveabadname", which I sang with Little Apple before, was sent to station B by Tang Baona, and the response was quite good. Tang Baona is already discussing with Little Apple~EbookFREE.me~ whether to help her also open her own independent account and post some solo videos.
   But at this time, what I saw in the video was not the little apple, but the glittering gold.
   The camera of the phone is facing the cage of Jin Shining. The door of the cage is open as before. Canary Jin Shining stands on the crossbar specially made for him by Xiang Kun, facing the camera.
   "Golden Shining, Happy New Year to Uncle Xiang!" Outside the camera, Little Apple's crisp voice sounded.
   As soon as she finished her voice, Jin Shining began to chirp and sing.
   Obviously, Jin Shining has direct feedback on her voice.
Little Apple also laughed, and then turned the camera back to herself. Although she could not see, but the long-term use made her accurately make the camera face her own face: "Uncle Xiang, did you hear that? Jin Shining wished Happy Chinese New Year, congratulations on getting rich!"
Xiang Kun also laughed and said, "Yes, Little Apple, Jin Shining was taught very well by you! It looks like you get along well... Hey, I think it seems to have been fattened by you a lot? No wonder you are so obedient. You can eat it well!"
   In fact, he could hear that most of what Jin Shining said in her singing just now was joy, but also a little bit of showing off and being proud.
   Huanxi is understandable. Seeing the old master who has been raising it for several months through the video, he should naturally be happy, but what is the reason for showing off and being proud?
