Chapter 33
Saloman's speech at the Jialan Military Academy was a success.
It should be said that no matter what he is going to speak, as long as he stands there, it is enough for the audience below to concentrate all their attention on him. Powerful, mature, handsome, golden, and powerful—with such a Dominator Zhuyu in front of him, Tang Wuqiu's professional obedient people were all red-eyed, and basically didn't have the heart to look at the cadets of the military academy of their grade.
Although those students had long been enthusiastic about His Excellency Regent's words, they didn't think about this for the time being.
This is really a sad story (/▽╲).
"Although I have to say that your performance just now is very wonderful, I think the students must also be dissatisfied with you...... Look at those cute little obedients, you are simply the enemy of my poor Dominator students. Cumberbatch said this, but his tone was gloating. In fact, although he felt that it was good for the ruler and the obedient to have the opportunity to get in touch, he wanted his students to pay attention to themselves and their strength rather than those who were sons and daughters.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to arrange Saloman's affairs today.
Presumably, after suffering this "blow", those students should be able to see the gap with the regent, and then receive the stimulus to work hard (?). Let's do it!
Saloman naturally knew a little bit of Cumberbatch's heart, but he didn't care about that, although he was talking in front of everyone just now, in fact, all his attention was focused on an audience below.
"He's a very sweet kid." Dr. Carleton smiled. Because he was standing behind the scenes, he could take in the details of both the stage and the stage, and Saroman didn't hide it at all, so he easily followed the other party's gaze to see the child who had made eye contact with him many times.
The handsome face, the tall figure, and especially the faint affection between each other every time they looked at each other, made Dr. Carlton feel very pleased.
Hearing that his family was being praised by others, Saloman felt as if he had been praised: "Qiuqiu is great." ”
"Balls?"
"Ah, his name."
It's a nickname, right? I didn't expect someone like the regent to call someone else's nickname. Before he knew it, Dr. Carleton was becoming more and more curious about the boy.
I said...... What kind of dumb puzzle are you guys playing? Carl dear, do you know who is the lucky one who is favored by the regent? Cumberbatch swirled the electronic pen in his hand, and under his thick eyebrows were a pair of gray eyes that twinkled with curiosity.
“…… I thought you would have known it by your ingenuity. "Dr. Carlton sometimes really wonders if his lover is really the genius who was once the first genius of the empire. Well, maybe he is, it's just that his eq is negative, so he pulls down the average ┑( ̄Д ̄)┍?
······
“…… You've all come to see your cutie, why are you still in my office? "Cumberbatch found that he hadn't seen him for a while, why did Saroman do things more and more so that he couldn't see through it?
"The tour isn't over yet."
Saloman's natural words made Cumberbatch choke, and then reacted: "Could it be that you have to wait for the end of the event to pick up people?" After receiving a look of "what else can it be like this" from the other party, Cumberbatch almost didn't roll his eyes - how terrible is love, how terrible is it, can actually say that a person who regards time as life and pays the most attention to efficiency has become a completely opposite character?
Cumberbatch completely forgot that when he fell in love with Dr. Carlton but hadn't confessed yet, when Dr. Carlton met on a blind date with another dominator with a 74% genetic match, didn't he also put down his tracking task and disguised himself as a waiter at that restaurant to disturb the atmosphere like a nasty child?
"Well, now that we're two hours before the event ends, are you going to play in the office for two hours? If that's the case, it's better to ......"
"I have important business to find Dr. Carlton, and I'm sure these two hours won't be wasted." Saroman stood up.
Cumberbatch was about to take out the move of military chess, when suddenly a pair of eyes changed to =_,= looking at Saroman - are you kidding me?
"Don't do that, Chris, I made an appointment with Saroman before." Dr. Carlton said helplessly.
"It's been agreed before!" Cumberbatch looked at Saloman like a third/seduce his lover - he thought his Carl was here to accompany him! No, and most importantly, when did they make an appointment?!
However, neither Saroman nor Dr. Carleton were in the mood to deal with Cumberbatch, who would automatically crash his head when he encountered this kind of thing, and the two walked a few steps, and Dr. Carleton stopped: "Aren't you coming?" ”
Cumberbatch scrambled to his feet, the expression on his face was reluctant, and he snorted: "I thought you didn't want anyone else to disturb me." "That's called a yin and yang weirdness.
Dr. Carleton is a good old man, and he can't help but want to jump up (Dr. Carlton: Oh, this sad height difference _(:3ゝ∠)_) slapped this bear kid on the head - all of them are still jealous at this time, can you grow a little heart!
······
Cumberbatch didn't think Saroman was going to say anything important, until he followed the two men to the ...... Underground laboratory?
As the president of the Military Academy, Cumberbatch naturally knows the layout of the entire academy well, and this place can be said to be the private room where Carlton did his research.
"Chris, please do me a favor and replace all the cameras in this room with virtual images, only you can do it seamlessly."
Hearing Saroman call himself "Chris", Cumberbatch looked at him deeply, and then cleanly found the video surveillance program on the side, tapped his ten fingers on the light screen for about a minute, and then stretched out his hand towards Saloman: "Where's the chip?" "That being said, I guess I've already made a virtual image.
Don't look at the usual Saroman and Cumberbatch are probably bickering a lot, but in fact, no pair can work together more closely than them. Almost as soon as Cumberbatch's words fell, Saroman had placed a translucent chip lighter/thinner than a fingernail into Cumberbatch's hand.
"Aha, yes, even we had a substitute virtual image when we walked in the door." Cumberbatch gave a fluttering compliment, but his men kept moving, and bursts of luminescent green characters lit up and went out like flickering electric sparks. By the time Cumberbatch was done, Dr. Carleton had already set up the equipment.
"Okay, now we probably have ...... An hour and thirty-six minutes can be a casual wave. Cumberbatch looked at the countdown, "So, what do you need my Carl to dissect?" ”
Dr. Carlton is neither a mech designer nor a mech builder, and his areas of expertise are biology and medicine - a good fit for his good old man, isn't it?
But in reality, he is mild-mannered and has very terrible strength and authority in both areas.
"No, I didn't have anything for Dr. Carlton to dissect...... Or maybe not now. Saroman paused, then pulled out a thumb-sized tube, bent down to lower it to the ground, and pressed the button on it, and suddenly a set of pictures and words and numbers were projected in front of them.
"Wow...... These are ......"
"You read that right, these are composite images."
Both Cumberbatch and Dr. Carleton's brows furrowed, but Cumberbatch rarely failed to taunt the skill: "Is this a new species?" He knew that Saloman's temperament had wasted such a big chapter, and he definitely couldn't just let them look at ordinary composite pictures. And combined with the words he had just read, he had already made a guess in his heart.
"Yes, you're not mistaken, it's a new species."
Dr. Carleton gasped softly, but when he saw the solemn look on Saloman's face, he knew that things were not as rosy as he had guessed, "So, what do you need me to do?" ”
"Actually," Saroman slid the first few images over, "I think you should know the video that made a fuss some time ago, right?" ”
Cumberbatch and Dr. Carlton looked at each other, "That's right. ”
"Those guys in the royal family are simply covering their ears and stealing the bell, and only those who don't know the truth will think that there is no problem......" In fact, although the crisis handling of this video is not perfect, but roughly speaking, there is no big problem, but Cumberbatch is a very stubborn and confident person to the point of pride, so he will not be misled by the □□ released by the royal family, "Oh my God, you won't say it's these ......"
······
"I feel like I'm about to fly!" Many of the people who said this, Xiong Suying, who has always been prone to fluctuations, but Wang Zheng, who should have been steady, said, "I have not only taken a mecha today, but also had close contact with His Excellency the Regent, I am ......."
"I'm me, I'm me, you, you're enough!" Xiong Suying slapped Wang Zheng on the back, "If Tang Wuqiu hadn't asked you, where would you have such an opportunity!" Although she also had close contact with His Excellency the Regent, it was a great pity that she was not able to ride on the mecha, thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Tang Wuqiu, with a sympathetic gaze, "Tang Wuqiu, you are more pity than me, why are you not feeling well these days?" ”
Of course, being unwell was an excuse, but Tang Wuqiu's sixth sense told him not to ride in the mecha with that Dominator - at first he didn't know where this inexplicable feeling came from. But then when he saw Saroman on the main table, he suddenly understood.
He really thought that Salroman would go to the military academy at ease.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Just thinking like this, the light brain on his body flickered, and Tang Wuqiu slid away, which happened to be a message from Saloman.
He raised his head and looked at Wang Zheng and Xiong Suying, who had just turned from classmates to friends: "That, I'm sorry, I have something to go first." ”
Now their visit has actually ended, because it is a weekend, so the time to solve it is arranged by themselves.
However, Xiong Suying was a little disappointed after hearing this: "Ah, you're leaving......"
Tang Wuqiu was a little surprised: "...... What's wrong? ”
"Oh, I was going to ask if you wanted to come with us to see the Mecha Competition." Xiong Suying said.
Tang Wuqiu listened to her words and remembered, as if Bai Suluo had also told him about it before.
"Mecha Competition ......" Tang Wuqiu originally wanted to ask where it was held, but Xiong Suying waved his hand and said: "But it doesn't matter, it's on the Internet anyway, and it's not yet the time when it's hot later, I just think that we can go and see it on the weekend, but since you have something, then there will be a chance in the future." ”
Since Xiong Suying said so, Tang Wuqiu also decided to ask Saloman if he had anything important to do after meeting him later, and if not, he would also look for this mecha competition.
······
"If I hadn't known you for decades, I really suspected that this person in front of me was still not you, and the Saroman I knew wouldn't be someone who would have gone through such a lot of trouble just because of a cargo ship accident and a blurry video." Despite what Cumberbatch says, his hand movements are completely unambiguous - in fact, probably because of his high IQ, he can show his hand in almost all areas.
The reason why he says "almost" is because he is completely a scum with a minus five combat effectiveness in terms of emotional arts such as literature, music, and fine arts.
To get back to the point, Cumberbatch had already helped Dr. Carleton with his analysis.
Seeing the preliminary results, Dr. Carleton's face, which always had a gentle smile, turned into a solemn one.
"I wish it wasn't true......," he said, looking at the composite image on the side, "the stamina, bite force, impact, speed, and healing power are all amazing, and I can't guess if there is intelligence, but I think that the previous peculiarities alone are enough to make this creature dominate...... Most importantly, if the images you provide are 70% authentic, it means that they can also be borrowed and quickly fused to evolve! Seemingly frightened by his own speculation, Dr. Carleton's eyes stared at Saroman, "It's just that the results I have made now are based on the information you provided, and if there is a * or corpse for further autopsy ......"
"No, no, no, my dear, you should never think that if this thing is really alive, you can't face it in the face of it." Although Cumberbatch was also taken aback by this speculation, he quickly shook his head after reacting, interrupting his lover who almost fell into a research fetish.
Taking a deep breath and ignoring Cumberbatch, Dr. Carlton looked at Saroman with a look of caution in his eyes: "Sue me, Saloman, is this really the cause of the destruction of Deep Space?" "That's a dozen elites! Fifteen of them are experienced Dominators! However, they can't resist these two monsters!
And judging from the information just now, this so-called "xenomorph" creature was just a cell worm at first, and then it turned into a snake-like meat and rice with a slippery strip of color, and then ...... But no matter how you change your form, according to Dr. Carlton's experience, the real lethality is when you finally become humanoid, that is, you can only be regarded as a "newborn" - even young children have such ferocious combat power, so if those who are adults or another way to put it...... What about those with a lot of combat experience?
"I can't deny it."
Dr. Carleton was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I should be glad that these 'xenos' are far away from us, and they don't understand technology?" ”
"Actually, His Majesty the Emperor thinks the same way." Saroman raised an eyebrow.
But both Cumberbatch and Dr. Carleton were able to tell his taunt in his actions.
Cumberbatch frowned: "No, Your Excellency Regent, don't tell me that you want to take a spaceship for more than two years to run to that planet to fight bloodily?" ”
In his opinion, this "xenomorph" is indeed terrifying, but since they are so far away, then they don't need to treat them as thorns in the flesh - this universe is so big, and there are many dangers contained in it, is it possible that they can still step on it one by one? They are not guardians of cosmic peace.
"What are you kidding?" Saloman smiled briefly, as if to mock Cumberbatch's attitude as if he were an enemy, "I have a sense of measure in this matter, you can rest assured now." ”
Of course, it is said that "now" is assured, but as for "in the future", it is impossible to say.
Cumberbatch could not hear the hidden meaning of Saloman's words, but his instincts as a warrior and the experience of partnering with Saroman told him that things would not end so easily.
It's just that now it's all based on theory......
"Dr. Carleton, if you can, please continue to study according to the conclusions you have just reached, no creature is perfect, and they will always have a lot of weaknesses?"
Cumberbatch: "Saroman, you! ”
Dr. Carleton quickly covered Cumberbatch's mouth with a smile on his face, "Of course, I'm already fascinated by this xenomorph. ”
Saroman looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock: "I'm sorry, I'm going to pick up my ball, let's talk next time?" ”
"Stay in touch at any time, I'll get back to you with any progress." [Quetzalcoatl comes with the rainy season. The rainy season coincided with the time when the Maya planted corn. As a result, Quetzalcoatl has become the most revered deity of the Mayannons, in Chizen-Iza, the largest surviving Mayan ancient city. There is a pyramid named after the Quetzalcoatl god Kukulkan. On the north side of the pyramid, two snake heads are carved on two bottom corners. Every year on the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the sun sets, you can see the shadow of the snake's head cast on the ground and many triangles set together, becoming a very dynamic flying snake. It symbolizes the advent and ascension of Quetzalcoatl during these two days, and it is said that this wonder can only be seen during these two days. So, it has become a famous tourist attraction in Mexico. In those days, the Mayans were able to accurately grasp the time of farming with the help of this intuitive landscape that skillfully blended astronomy with architectural craftsmanship. At the same time, the timing of worship of Quetzalcoatl was also accurately grasped. In China, the dragon is a unique form of oriental mysticism, with complex and changeable artistic shapes, containing the concept of dragons unique to Chinese and Chinese culture. From the image of the Chinese dragon, it contains the cosmology of the unity of heaven and man, which is valued by the Chinese; It is the appeal of the concept of benevolence and love for others; the development concept of yin and yang; An inclusive and multicultural outlook. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Cao Cao said: "The dragon can be big and small, and it can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. Fang is deep in this spring, the dragon changes when the time comes, and the Jews have the ambition to cross the seas. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the hero of the world...... "The prototype of the dragon has sprouted in the late Neolithic period. The image of the dragon is described in many ancient books. On the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties of the Warring States period in China, we can see these different kinds of dragons. In the Han Dynasty portrait stones, it is common to see a dragon with a horse's head and a scaly body or a dragon with two wings, and the dragon has various meanings in the Han Dynasty, such as the inscription of the bronze mirror in the Han Dynasty: the left dragon and the right tiger are ominous. The image of Quetzalcoatl can also be seen in the famous Bonampac Hall in the Mayan ruins, among other places. To say that its image is somewhat similar to the bull head antlers, snake body fish scales, tiger claws and long whiskers invented by the Chinese, and the dragon that can soar into the clouds and drive the fog. At least in the basic combination of the main body of the snake body and the momentum of soaring (the feathers of the feathered snake), it is the same. In addition, the head of the feathered serpent painted on the roof of the first room of the painting hall and the snake head carving on the double-headed stick held by the Mayan priest are also similar to the dragon's head. Moreover, both Quetzalcoatl and Chinese dragon worship are associated with praying for rain. Some people say that the Mayan Quetzalcoatl was a Chinese dragon brought over by the Chinese during the Yin Shang period. If this statement is true, then the Mayans mentioned in it should first be changed to Mesoamericans. Because, many peoples in Mesoamerica have the worship of Quetzalcoatl. Moreover, the rain pattern related to the Chinese dragon can also be found in monuments in many countries and regions of Central America. (but it can't be verified)]
