Chapter 539: The tail needle decides the head
Most of the members of Girls' Generation slept until noon the next day, and they drank too much on the boat than on land, everyone seemed very unenergetic, and Seo Hyun even threw up once, apparently she was not very used to alcohol. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, the champagne I drank yesterday was very pure, so no one had a hangover headache.
Phoebe got up early and fished for two hours with Barbara and the captain. The fish resources in the Yellow Sea are quite abundant this season, Barbara's fishing skills are not very good, and Phoebe was like her at first, there was no gain, but Phoebe, who learned everything quickly, quickly followed the captain, except for the ones that were too small and threw them back into the sea, the three of them dropped a total of eighteen sea fish of different sizes, Phoebe picked and saw that there were eleven salmon and trout with short arm length, so she carried the bucket and asked Barbara to lead the way to the kitchen.
Phoebe first threw all the yellow croaker from the other seven fish into the pot to prepare a pot of fish soup, and left the rest for the chef who put it on, and the other eleven fish specially selected by Phoebe prepared to make salmon with white wine cream. When the chef saw that Phoebe was methodical in cooking, he knew that Phoebe was not doing it indiscriminately, so he gave up the kitchen without objection.
So, when the members and assistants of Girls' Generation got up, they saw a sumptuous lunch on the deck - of course, the chef also made a lot of things, fish cakes and fish fillets, barbecued meat, baked shrimp and so on.
When we ate together at noon, everyone was so impressed by the soup and salmon that Phoebe cooked.
Phoebe herself didn't eat salmon, there was alcohol, and everyone thought that she didn't drink at all yesterday, so they didn't say anything.
After lunch, some people went back to sleep, while others stayed on the deck with headphones to rest. Barbara, on the other hand, follows Phoebe every step of the way, always trying to tease Phoebe to talk.
Since Barbara returned last night, she has been wondering how Phoebe discovered the secret of the ant nest, and she suddenly remembered that when she looked at Phoebe's information this year, four photos were taken after Phoebe was rescued. But the point is not on the photos, but on the dates on them.
Barbara calculated that Phoebe must have been at sea for at least three days before being rescued.
Three days without fresh water.
But judging from the photos, Phoebe has no signs of dehydration and coma at all, except for the faint defense against people, it is similar to that of other rescued children, and the box holding Phoebe has a lot of liquid, but it is the flesh and blood of Phoebe's biological parents......
So Barbara came to the conclusion that Phoebe didn't like the sea, and floating on the sea would make her remember that experience.
Combined with the fact that Phoebe rarely goes to the deck after getting on the ship, and even if she gets on the deck, she will quickly find a corner to sit down, which shows that it is inevitable that Phoebe hides in the cabin, and it is also inevitable to go to the ant cabin. The painful experience made Phoebe prefer to see the ants that the girls found scary than the sea. And in order to divert attention from being at sea, Phoebe must have paid more attention to observing the ant nest, so it was not very surprising to find the unusual ball.
Barbara finally feels that she knows more about Phoebe than she knew more than she knew when she was a girl, and she wanted to help Phoebe divert her attention when she escaped the sea and hid in the cabin, and she did this by following Phoebe to seduce her.
Sure enough, shortly after lunch, Phoebe went down to the cabin to see the ants again, which made Barbara, who was following her, convinced of her judgment.
When Barbara went to him with the bean-sized thing last night, the captain himself was shocked, and repeatedly assured Barbara that nothing would come out this time, so that Barbara could rest assured. Now seeing the two of them walking towards the ant room again, the captain couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that the two of them had been too careful. The ant nest is actually placed for the pick-up person to pick up the goods, and when running at sea, the goods will not be put there directly at all, and they are generally dragged under water into the port, waiting for the customs to inspect the cabin before moving it onto the ship.
This captain was a peripheral member of Langley's company, and he knew that the safety requirements for sending Barbara out this time were very high, so he didn't plan to do anything else at all.
"Phoebe, how many of these ants are there?" asked Barbara, after following Phoebe at the ants for a while.
"There should be about 800 of them, but there are two queens who can lay eggs. Phoebe casually pointed to the location of the two queens.
Barbara stared at an ant queen who was laying eggs for a while, and said, "I remember hearing when I was conducting escape training before, the number of ant colonies is about 50,000 to 100,000, why are the number of ants in this group so small?"
Phoebe was staring at a soldier ant with its front legs raised at her and swaying its tentacles, and after listening to Barbara's question, she replied, "That's the brown ant from the Eastern European Plain, and it's cold there, so it's very scattered in the summer, and most of them are concentrated in the winter." β
Barbara glanced back at Phoebe, nodded, and asked, "Have you ever eaten ant eggs raw except for today's prepared ant eggs?"
Phoebe glanced at Barbara inexplicably and said, "Of course not, why do you think I've eaten it?"
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and continued, "You're not afraid of these things at all. β
Phoebe nodded, "Well, as long as you know their habits, you can predict their behavior." β
Barbara felt a little sad when she saw Phoebe staring at the ants again after she finished speaking, she felt that Phoebe had only said half of what she had just said, and the other half was probably something like "compared to humans, ants are simpler".
Barbara knows more about face recognition disorder than members of Girls' Generation, she knows that many patients with this disorder have social phobia, and some jokes that ordinary people can make, especially deceptive jokes, will deeply hurt their feelings, affect their perception of the environment and people, just like Phoebe was in junior high school in South Korea, and after being teased by her classmates, she simply didn't go to school, in the eyes of others, Phoebe will think that Phoebe is making a fuss, too squeamish, and find it difficult to understand, but this is a normal reaction in this group of peopleγ
People with facial recognition disorder have a hard time trusting others.
Of course, the vast majority of people with facial recognition disorder do not have their own way of getting along with other people like Phoebe with their super memory and logical thinking skills, so they can "only" trust others.
The longer she stays with Phoebe, the more Barbara understands how unique Phoebe is, and as a result, Barbara's feelings for Phoebe become more and more unique, which makes Barbara feel like she is addicted to getting a unique place around Phoebe.
Sensing Barbara's sadness at this time, Phoebe felt inexplicable again, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
Barbara was stunned by the question, she couldn't say that she could see that you had a childhood experience of being resistant to floating on the sea, and she was stunned for a long time before she said, "What you just said reminded me of face recognition disorder." β
"Oh?" Phoebe gave Barbara another surprise.
Barbara pointed to the ant nest and said, "With the IQ of ants, they can't remember the appearance of any of the littermates, and they usually rely on pheromones to distinguish them. β
Phoebe shook her head and said with a smile: "You don't want me to distinguish others by smell, do you?" After speaking, he pointed to his head and said: "And people's olfactory nerves can't distinguish so many types, and we are inferior to Minoan and Dhaka in this regard." β
Barbara smiled as well, "Well, I know. He pointed to the ant nest and said, "I mean, you can't remember people's faces, but you can rely on your vision and memory to remember people by distinguishing the identification objects you send, and you have something in common with ants." β
Phoebe was even more inexplicable, what the hell Barbara wanted to say.
"At present, facial recognition disorder is not classified as a person with disabilities, but I think that this kind of disease, whether it is congenital or acquired, should also be regarded as a disability, a disability that makes it impossible for people to live a normal life. We have developed acoustic aids for blind people in our California lab, so why not develop something for people with facial recognition disorders, such as eyes, headphones, etc. We will take advantage of this Paralympic Games to operate and strive to classify people with this disease as disabled people, and what we will do at that time can be regarded as charity. How?"
Phoebe shook her head and said, "Barbara, if you say that, will diabetics also be classified as disabled?"
"Uh......" Barbara shook her head.
Phoebe added: "If it is really such a simple distinction between disabilities, perhaps the German law prohibiting the birth of abnormal people during World War II may also follow, and you have a degree in philosophy, you should know how dangerous this simple classification method is." β
Barbara was stunned again, and then nodded, yes, she still thought about it simply, but what she said just now was not something she said after careful consideration, just to change the topic, and was asked by Phoebe that she was worried that Phoebe would remember when she saw the sea, so she didn't even have the idea of regret in her heart.
Therefore, Phoebe was very strange about Barbara's mood, and felt that Barbara seemed to be rejoicing in something, which made Phoebe feel even more inexplicable, so she asked, "You didn't want to say this at first, did you?"
It's tough.
Barbara said secretly in her heart, so she turned around and said: "Well, I was worried at first that you had the idea of classifying facial recognition disorder as a disabled person, you know, once you fall into that ranks, it will be difficult to come up with it again, and others will always look at you with sympathy, since you don't think so, that's great." β
I see!
Phoebe thought she understood Barbara's thoughts, felt that Barbara was very considerate of herself, and Barbara was also classified by her into the thinking base of her logical thinking, so she smiled and said: "Thank you for thinking about me, I know all this, I don't have that kind of idea, this time with the help of the Paralympics, in addition to for the girlhood, don't you see that the Democratic Party is also very active, bringing so many war-wounded children in the Middle East, in order to increase the support rate of the selected slogan of withdrawal." The Republicans are not going to win this year anyway, and it would be nice to have a good relationship with the Democrats. β
Barbara looked at Phoebe in a daze, and said in her heart Although I didn't think of things that shouldn't be disabled at first, but you think I'm thinking about you, so you should let me be moved for a while, it's too boring to pick out the topic so quickly, can you only talk to me about these official things?
Barbara's psychological resistance was noticed by Phoebe, who thought that Barbara resisted because of her support for the Democratic Party, after all, her family's network was Republican, so she patted Barbara's shoulder comfortingly and said: " Don't worry, the Republican Party also participated in this activity of sending the war wounded to watch the Olympics, but we are sending domestic veterans due to injury, which is accumulating contacts for the future, although it seems that the Democratic Party has gained more things now, but in essence, just like this nest of ants, no matter how pitiful the Middle Easterners are, they are also outsiders, if they fight again, it doesn't matter how many people die, and the war wounded soldiers of their own country are their own people, and they must be treated well, after all, the Middle Easterners have not paid taxes to the United States. β
Barbara rolled her eyes suddenly, and said in her heart I am sad, and you told me about your connections in the future, but seeing that Phoebe took the initiative to pat herself on the shoulder, she no longer made trouble, and when she talked about this matter, it was just in line with her desire to let Phoebe stop thinking about what happened at sea when she was a child, so she smiled at Phoebe and said, "Well, it's good that you know, but you and your girlhood became an international volunteer guide for war-wounded children, and you are not afraid that the conservative forces in the country will have opinions about you?" This time, it was hard to get the Girls' Generation song to the barracks. β
Phoebe shook her head and said: "Don't be afraid, after all, soldiers are low-level people, and the perception and thinking of big people are different, if we run to the war-wounded soldiers from home, it will be even more surprising, and public opinion on the Korean side will also be very troublesome." After speaking, he nodded and repeated again: "Well, it's too troublesome here in South Korea." β
Barbara looked at Phoebe amusedly, shook her head, and said, "Well, you know, by the way, why do you always look at these ants? Aren't they just fire ants? It's not very special, it's everywhere in the United States." β
Phoebe nodded and said: "I think, after the Atlantic Floater was built, all the wild parts of the island were put into genetically manipulated fire ants, I remember that a genetic laboratory in France concocted a wasp to fight against African bees in North Africa, I think we can extend this idea, and extend the fight against bees to fight against humans who sneak into the floating island." β
Barbara didn't think there was anything wrong with Phoebe thinking about these at all, after all, Phoebe was at the helm of Titan, and she had to think about herself and the entire people of Titan, so it was not good to have one more deterrent power, so she nodded and said: " Then you have to make it clear to the Ministry of Defense that research in this direction is already a prohibited project, and the secret laboratory we are building in Seoul is also in the field of biochemistry, so you don't have to make the Ministry of Defense think that Titan has a tendency to change the direction of terrorist organization funders. β
Phoebe nodded and said, "Well, so, I want to study ants first, ants are close relatives of wasps, especially fire ants, which still have tail pins." β
Barbara followed Phoebe's gaze and looked at the soldier ant who had been waging at Phoebe's head just now, and the tail needle of the soldier ant nodded slowly.
