After hearing this, Xiao Peng was even more straightforward, and turned his head and left, this Nima didn't know that this was a real or fake thing, and he came directly to such a knife?

Seeing that Xiao Peng was leaving, the stall owner Cruise hurriedly shouted: "This gentleman, don't go, the price is negotiable, I have something to say, in fact, I still have a lot of good things here." ”

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Forget it." I don't trust you anymore, even if there are good things, and there is no security guarantee for doing business with someone like you. Yali, 'Black Catfish', let's go. ”

Cruise glared at the 'black catfish': "Black catfish! It's all your fault! Such a good business has made you yellow, you have to be responsible for me!"

"I'm responsible for my employer and friends. You're too dark, and seeing that I dare to open such a big mouth here, I can only say that you are asking for trouble. "'Black Catfish' said lightly.

Cruise choked, he saw the black catfish just now, and thought he was bringing people to be slaughtered to earn a commission, wasn't that how it used to be? What's wrong? You make more money when you sell more, what's wrong? Don't mention it?

But Cruise is not stupid, hearing the dialogue between Xiao Peng and the two just now, guessing that the two of them have the ability to buy, his eyes rolled: "Sir, I apologize for my wrong behavior just now, but I really have something good here, maybe you will be interested, no, you will definitely be interested." There's a 'black catfish' here, and I'll give you a good price, what do you think?"

Xiao Peng stopped: "What will I definitely be interested in?"

Cruise motioned for the two of them to wait, and after a while, he took a red wooden box the size of a suitcase and placed it in front of them: "Are you interested in this?"

Xiao Peng was puzzled, opened the box, and gasped after seeing the contents clearly. There were a lot of weird machines in it, and a few small bottles and cans and stuff. In fact, he didn't know the function of these things, but inside the top of the box, inside was a print that was clearly in the style of decades ago, which was an introduction to these things. As soon as he saw the words on it, Xiao Peng was startled first: Gilbert Uranium-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory. What is this? Build a nuclear bomb?

After seeing it, Alexandra came to her senses: "Huh, did you really let me find it?" After speaking, she whispered in Xiao Peng's ear: "I came to the Stars and Stripes Country this time, and I thought about helping him find this set of toys, he is a toy collector." As a result, I forgot about it with you. I didn't expect to see it here, so let's buy it, shall we?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Ya Li, it's okay to buy it, but what the hell is this? You just said that this is a toy? But no matter how you look at it, I think it's very dangerous!"

Yali didn't deny it: "This is indeed a dangerous toy, don't you men like dangerous toys?"

That's right, men are addicted to 'guns' and the like, what boy wouldn't want to own a powerful pistol?

The love for this dangerous toy stems from the human yearning for violence and war. It is the instinct of male animals. However, in today's prosperous scientific and technological civilization, weapons are not playthings that everyone can play. So there are all kinds of simulated weapon toys, which can be understood as these are 'inflatable dolls' in the weapons world。。。。。。

Men who like to collect dangerous toys are not rare, and they can be found almost everywhere. Who doesn't have a man around them who likes these things?

It seems that Ally's brother is a hobby of collecting these things.

"But what the hell is this?" Xiao Peng asked.

"There was once a guy named Gilbert who was very addicted to imitation toys and collected all kinds of imitation toys since he was a child, and after graduating from Yale University, he simply started researching and making imitation toys. Founded a toy company that designed and produced toys such as a 1:64 scale train with an engine and a matching 'O' rail, which was famous in the early part of the last century. Now they produce a lot of toys, which are collector's favorite collectibles. ”

"Is this thing too?" Xiao Peng asked, pointing to the red box.

Yali smiled: "Yes and no, after all, it is fifty or sixty years old, so it must be collectible, and the price is not cheap, but because it is really dangerous, only hardcore toy collectors will collect it." ”

"What the hell is this?" Xiao Peng was stunned, looking quite terrifying.

Ally's words were astonishing: "This is a nuclear reactor for children to play with!"

"HAT?" Xiao Peng was so frightened that he almost jumped up. Nuclear reactors? Or is it for children? This Nima is too daring to be a master, right?

Looking at Xiao Peng's reaction, Yali laughed: "My dear, now we know that nuclear energy is terrible and harmful to the human body. However, in the fifties of the last century, nuclear energy was still considered a good energy source that was harmless to humans and animals. At that time, the world saw the power of nuclear energy due to the two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Gilbert Company also launched such a real atomic energy toy in due course. As you can see, it's very rich, and it's a toy like this, which sold for about fifty dollars at the time. It was a crazy sell, and it became the most popular toy of the year. ”

Xiao Peng didn't know how to complain, is this Nima considered a collective suicide to play?

Having said that, this is also normal, subject to the level of science, many things that seem inconceivable now were regarded as 'truth' by people back then.

For example, there was a time when Western medicine thought that 'bloodletting cures all diseases', what diseases do people have? Don't worry, just go to the barber shop to have some blood disease------ and now the red and white rotating light box hanging at the door of the barber shop is actually left over from that period, at that time, which barber shop can bleed personally, and there are red and white stripes hanging at the door.

Another example is something similar to this in China, the most famous example is 'chicken blood': in 1952, when the medical worker Yu Changshi went to study in the Soviet Union, he measured the body temperature of several roosters, and found that they were all around 43 degrees.

At that time, the country advocated a 'technological revolution', and Yu Changshi, who was working in the magic capital at that time, was full of the idea of becoming a 'world-class famous doctor' and 'developing new medical technology that surpassed the international level', and began to secretly experiment with the so-called 'chicken blood therapy' among the workers in the factory. Later, a book was published directly called "Chicken Blood Therapy", and then mimeographed into a pamphlet and distributed throughout the country, flaunting that "chicken blood therapy is internationally leading", claiming that many "old cadres" can use it privately and can treat "more than 60 kinds of stubborn diseases".

But this matter reached the ears of the Minister of Health, and he directly ordered rectification, so at that time, the magic capital held a special expert symposium, and after some discussion, the 'chicken blood therapy' was denied, and the Ministry of Health also issued a notice that patients were not allowed to inject blood donations.

Supposedly, this is the end of the matter, right? But then something happened------ a Taiwanese military doctor was arrested and sentenced to death. In order to save his life, this military doctor sacrificed a secret recipe----- Beat chicken blood! Principal Jiang lived by beating chicken blood!

It turned out that 'fighting chicken blood' was really a 'miracle medical method'! So it quickly spread among the upper classes. In 66, the outbreak of GE resounded in the sky, and the slogan of "rebellion is justified" resounded in the sky, and at that time, the Ministry of Health actually issued an "open letter to the people of GE across the country", publicly overturning the case of "chicken blood therapy"!

In that period, the whole country rooster because of the shortage and directly priceless, in the countryside, many people raised roosters, every day there are many old and infirm, holding their own big roosters straight to the commune health center, that period 'a chicken at home, better than carrying LV'.

Even elementary school students would think it's ridiculous to say this now, but at that time, people believed in such things!

Even today, Yu Changshi's marketing routine at that time is still a classic routine that cannot be avoided in today's Chinese health care products market, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Yu Changshi is the godfather of the Chinese health care products industry.

The favorite thing of the Chinese people is 'health care', that is, 'everything comes first', after the chicken blood, there are also '681 haloalkali therapy', 'kombucha therapy', 'drinking urine therapy', 'eating mung beans to cure all diseases' and the like, each of these messy pseudo-scientific therapies can be all the rage.

It's also unbelievable to think about such a situation now. This is not just a problem of insufficient scientific level, but can only be described as 'ignorant'.

Of course, the Stars and Stripes country, which has always regarded 'science as the primary productive force', has not always been so 'scientific'. What are 'eggs can cause cardiovascular damage in people', 'eggs are less healthy than cigarettes', 'microwave-cooked food is harmful to health', 'smoking is good for health', '7-Up drinks can make babies stronger'。。。。。。 This kind of 'pseudoscience' is also a big grasp in the Stars and Stripes.

After all, this is freedom of speech, isn't it? You can say anything, does anyone believe that it's people's own business!

This 'nuclear energy is harmless to the human body' was once a truth that all people in the Stars and Stripes believed in.

Ally seemed familiar, having apparently worked before she arrived, and knew all the tools inside: "This is the Geiger Müller counter that measures radioactivity, this is the electroscope that measures the charge of an object, and the scintillation mirror that looks at radioactive decay, oh, this is the Wilson chamber that observes particle trajectories, and this one, a α radioactive source made of lead-210 and polonium-210, a β radioactive source made of ruthenium-106, and this is a γ radioactive source made of zinc-65." ”

"Do you see these? This is a uranium ore specimen, this plastic thing is actually a α particle model, and a tent battery uranium exploration manual, a manual, okay, the whole set of toys is complete. ”

"Look at this Wilson chamber, which Gilbert is most proud of, with which you can observe α particles traveling at 12,000 miles per second, and it has a scintillation screen that can see the results of the decay of radioactive material. ”

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Ya Li, are you sure this is a toy for children to play with? I can't understand anything, it's like listening to a book from heaven!"

Yali laughed, "Honey, it turns out that you don't know everything." At the time, Gilbert claimed that the toy was privately supported by Zhengfu because he felt that it would help the public better understand atomic energy and play a constructive role at the time. Moreover, none of the materials they used were fake, they were all genuine nuclear materials! The most important thing was that in the perception of people at that time, none of these nuclear materials were harmful to the human body. So in that year or so, this toy has become a hit!"

"Wait a minute, you said more than a year?" Xiao Peng noticed the problem in Yali's speech.

Yali nodded: "After more than a year, this most dangerous toy in history has been stopped. It was rumored that the former Soviet KGB agents used the polonium-210 in it to poison and assassinate them. ”

After speaking, Yali pointed to a small bottle in the toy box and said: "This is polonium-210, this substance is extremely radioactive and toxic, and the lethal dose is lower than chloride." It only takes less than 0.1 micrograms to poison an adult. ”

Xiao Peng just wanted to reach out and pick up the small bottle full of polonium-210, but he was startled when he heard Yali's words, and quickly retracted his hand.

Yali pointed to a few other small bottles and said, "That's a uranium ore specimen, if you accidentally break one bottle, maybe the whole house will be contaminated." ”

Xiao Peng was really frightened, and said after a long pause: "Your brother likes this thing? Is he a pervert?

Yali said disapprovingly: "The people of the Eagle Country always like to say that the difference between men and boys is only the difference in the price of the toys in their hands. Boys will still like toys when they grow up, don't you? It's just that your favorite toys are big boats and cars, and that's what my brother likes. But don't you really like it, my dear? Don't men like dangerous things?"

"Damn, if you like danger and excitement, you should also share things, okay? Besides, I'm from Huaxia! What we Chinese people like the most is stability! Now this year, I have to wait until the Chinese New Year to release two sky-scuring monkeys, and you let me play with a nuclear reactor? I'm okay, I'm fine!" Xiao Peng expressed extreme indignation, and playing with the nuclear reactor as a toy is really incomprehensible.

Cruise looked at the two of them with a grin and asked, "I wonder if you two are interested in this toy?"

"Buy! Why don't you buy it!" Xiao Peng was scared, but after all, it was something that Yali wanted to give her brother, and he still had to buy it. "Black catfish, it's up to you, negotiate a good price for me!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"
