Chapter 65: Chicken Soup for the Soul

Bengel didn't move, and the lighting in the room suddenly dimmed.

After that, a three-dimensional projection appeared in the open space in front of the two.

That's what Apennine Zhao looks like. At this point, he replaced himself with a prosthetic body with more upper body organisms - these organisms were additionally cultured with stem cells, and the density of receptors was more than double the human average.

If it is placed in the old age, then this tongue is enough to pave the way for him to become a "food connoisseur". This nose is enough for him to become a "fragrance connoisseur" - this is a talent that others cannot envy.

And now, the Apennines were manipulating the prosthetic, desperately eating a large mass of milky pastry.

"Proteins form a flexible backbone, which is filled with long and short chain carbohydrates. In addition, another protein is filled with air that is well mixed with air. Bengel nodded in satisfaction: "This kind of thing was called 'cream cake' in the old daysβ€”it is said that it used to require animal and plant materials to make it, but now it can be fully synthesized." Not only that, but I can vouch for that this piece of dim sum is no less than the taste memories of the old generation. ”

It is also part of the glorious tradition of the Order. Everyone knows the living habits of Wu Zu. This dim sum is a classic style that Wu Zu often eats between the ages of twenty and thirty. He often used this kind of thing to supplement sugar in the dead of night, when he was alone in reading literature.

The Knights of Scientific Research still have the noble custom of sharing sweets at midnight. Every scientific knight who has spare time will try his best to prepare a prosthetic body with taste and digestive functions for himself to experience the feelings of the martial ancestor back then.

Although most of today's scientific knights don't need powdered sugar, they only need electricity to sustain most of their thinking activities.

The Apennines were focused on the large piece of cake in front of him, not paying attention to the secretaries and scientific knights who communicated with him.

His Excellency Bengel shook his head: "Is this hobby eating?" It's a bit ...... Little master, I hope you can develop some hobbies that are in line with the spirit of Dyson's principles next time. I've heard that the old generation of humans was very interested in reproduction. ”

"It's my business...... Apennines noticed this and continued to gobble: "What should be done...... I've done it all. The rest is up to you – isn't that what the Dyson principle advocates? ”

His Excellency Bengel applauded lightly: "Very good enlightenment. So, what do you think about this now? Do you think you need to end this experiment now? ”

"I'm fine......" The young man struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, then noticed his secretary and smiled: "My brother, as you can see, I am fine now. You just need to assist His Excellency Bengel and maintain the safety of Pine Eagle City. As long as the encirclement and suppression activities are over, that 'mountain' will also be suppressed. Until then, as long as you and the Knights do your best......"

The secretary nodded.

Bengel cut off the projection: "You saw it too." I've got quite an interesting relaxation activity for your lord. Although he was initially coerced by some kind of death, he gradually overcame this obstacle in the process of pseudo-personality overlay. ”

"Half of the technology used in the current internal power is developed from the old generation of medical technology. Along with the practice of internal strength, all kinds of mental illnesses will be overcome by human beings. Although this was not a real 'healing', the young tax collector was also temporarily freed from his fears. Isn't that great? ”

The secretary nodded reluctantly.

Lord Bengel turned his head and continued to admire the artificial amber.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Spiegel, the secretary." The scientific knight suddenly spoke: "Suddenly, there is news that there is another mission here, which may be more suitable for you." ”

"What? My mission is to assist you in guarding this building, right? ”

"There's a brother from another temple who's coming over to place an order." Bengel said, "According to the rules, we must ensure that brother's safety. Therefore, it is necessary to configure a guard force for that Yangtze River knight. It's the rule. Those warriors directly under us rarely do this kind of personal protection work, I think you may be more suitable? ”

"If you can take on this character that suits you, then you can save human resources for our Knights. We'll be able to better protect the little masterβ€”what do you see? ”

The secretary pondered for a moment and said, "At this point in time, why are there scientific research knights coming to place orders?" Questions? ”

The so-called "pending order" is a kind of academic exchange. A scientific knight, after arriving at the residence of other scientific knights, can ask to stay for a few days, and communicate with the local scientific knight during these days.

"Do you think there might be something wrong with him?" Bengel nodded: "He's here to do fieldwork." Those scientific knights who do cognition really need this kind of in-depth research at the lower levels. Of course, in a sense, you're right. Several knights of the Oslo Temple did not hide their sympathy for the charlatans. But rest assured, as scientific knights, they don't actually make any big moves. That's reassuring. ”

"It's hard to be reassuring, Your Excellency." The secretary said, "Can't you refuse?" It's been an eventful ......"

"We will not reject a knight's pending order application." Bengel said casually: "Scientific knights also have the difficulties of scientific knights. If we reject this Yangtze River knight's pending order today, then he may be able to card us in academic aid or funding review in the future. ”

The secretary was confused again, so he had to bow down and say, "I understand." ”

"Idiot." His Excellency Bengel shook his head and sighed, raised his hand, and pointed to the piece of artificial amber he was admiring: "Come and see this." ”

He pointed to the mollusk at the very center of the entire artificial amber and asked, "Do you know about this creature?" ”

The secretary shook his head, "I don't have any research on these old creatures. ”

"Squamoped snail." "The scientific knight spoke," said the scientific knight, "and the gastropod is covered with scale-like flakes covered with iron sulfides, pyrite, and ores, and this dark volute is also very hard. The snail's esophagus glands are cohabited with sulfide bacteria, which synthesize nutrients from sulfides ejected from hydrothermal vents on the seafloor. ”

"In the past, it only existed in three submarine craters in the Eritrean Ocean, with a population of less than two hectares, and it only took an old-generation mining exploration to make this creature extinct."

"And the other creatures in this amber, all in a similar state. These old species are beautiful and fragile. ”

However, the father of all machines found the necessary pieces of the puzzle from these fragile old species, and achieved the key to a new era...... Can you understand? ”

"I ...... It seems that I learned this story from a textbook. The secretary said.

The stories of many people who have expanded the world, those educational chips that are implanted in the brains of civilians for free, are told, but the nature of the "story" is relatively large. The clerk wasn't sure if he had actually heard this.

After all, these things are real or false, it's hard to tell clearly, isn't it?

"This organism is a mollusk phylum that has long lived in symbiosis with sulfide bacteria, entered the hydrothermal biosphere, and no longer depends on the energy of the sun, living in seawater that is lethal to other life. Some time ago, they parted ways with their counterparts in the biosphere and coexisted with sulphurated organisms. ”

"Many of the species that live in submarine craters are pretty much the same. When they leave that environment and enter the sea at room temperature, they will freeze to death. ”

"They should have gone extinct in the first place. Yes, according to historical records, they will be wiped out by a mining company in 2031. ”

"But that was the year they became a necessary piece of the puzzle for a great era."

"Do you think it's a magical thing?"

The secretary nodded hesitantly: "Perhaps...... Right? ”

"Who would have thought that a few years ago, a marine mollusk would choose to live in symbiosis with sulfide bacteria, and the result would be the most important piece of the puzzle for humans." Bengel said: "Most of the collections in this office are actually like this. They are fragments of truth scattered in the old world. At the end of the old age, these fragments converged into the hands of the pioneers, and a new era of humanity could emerge. ”

"And now you and I are not fragments of truth that exist in the new world?"

There was a strange feeling in the secretary's heart. This seems to be some kind of ...... The germination of some kind of emotion?

It's a religious experience.

"The little young master you are loyal to, me, and the Yangtze River knight who came to place the order, and even you, everyone is just collecting one of the pieces of this puzzle."

"It's a great game, kid. The collection in this office is from pieces from hundreds of years ago, and what we're doing is making it something else. ”

"Don't ask where the pieces you're made of will go, no one knows about that kind of thing – just like a scaly gastropod snail doesn't know, it's going to be a piece of the puzzle for humanity to open up the world."

"I can see that you are confused, young man." "But remember this – never ask yourself which piece of the puzzle it is. You just have to remember that you have to be a piece of the great puzzle and work hard with that feeling. That's enough. ”

The secretary couldn't help but bend down and said, "Yes, Your Excellency." ”
