Chapter 38: Scientific Literacy
"Do you want to know why I suggested that you be the conqueror of the world," Nikolai finally turned to the point.
"Why? Because I'm a genius with a clear bone, a genius like no other?" Wang Xika teased
"You have knowledge and insight that this world does not have, and you can make the world a better place, so that there is no point in killing each other among the various races. ”
"But I'm not the only one who has this knowledge, there are many people in this world, such as Yuan Qingniu who bought rubber from you, why don't you look for him?"
Nikolai said: "He can't. I've seen the picture in his head, and I've seen the picture in your head. I think only you are fit to be the conqueror of the world. ”
"There should be more traversers in this world, right? Yuan Qingniu said that a nuclear war broke out, and he and I both crossed over from the space-time rift caused by nuclear weapons, so there must be a lot of people who have been hit by nuclear bombs here. ”
Nikolai smiled and said, "Believe me, you are the most suitable person." ”
Wang Xika also smiled and said, "So, are you willing to help me? For example, rubber coffee or something is cheaper." ”
Nikolai said: "Of course, you can give you whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you give you all this rubber forest." Anyway, the werewolves will come later, and I'll have to find somewhere else. ”
Wang Xika was originally joking, but he didn't expect Nikolai to be so generous, but he was a little at a loss, and said: "Don't come, this is not the rule of doing business." I still like to follow the rules of business. ”
Nikolai said: "Okay, you can follow whatever rules you want, you are the conqueror of this world, and the rules are all set by you." ”
Wang Xijia suddenly thought of something, and said: "You want me to conquer the world so much, don't you want me to spend my whole life on these indifferent things, and get rid of me as a fierce enemy by the hand of the enemy?"
"Why should I get rid of you, and besides, conquering the world is not as difficult as you think, it can be done in about 1 or 2 years. ”
"You want to get rid of me because I just defeated you in heads-up, and you don't want anyone else to know. ”
"Haha, nice joke. ”
Wang Xika suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you have a map of this world?" Can you draw one for me, to conquer the world, you must first know the location of the world." ”
Nikolai said: "I draw too slowly, and when the snake comes tomorrow, you can ask him for it, and the gills have a map of the world." ”
Wang Xijia thought about it, this is also very logical, most of the earth is the sea, and the gills come and go freely in the sea, and there are many places to go, so their maps must be more accurate.
Before the cheek man arrived, Lang Naduo woke up, lying on the bed and letting out a terrible wolf howl, the sound was heartbreaking and even more unbearable.
Wang Xika rushed into Lang Naduo's room and yelled, "What are you yelling about? What time is it, and you can't let people sleep?"
Seeing Wang Xika's familiar face, Lang Naduo's mood calmed down a lot, and said, "I thought I was dead, my leg hurts so much." ”
Wang Xijia said: "Nonsense, can your leg be bitten off by a crocodile?"
"Ah, yes! I remember, damn crocodile, this werewolf family will get revenge! I'm going to bite off all the legs of that damn crocodile!" Lang Nado shouted through gritted teeth.
"Don't you keep thinking about revenge or revenge, I brought you here to buy rubber, why are you doing so many things? Aren't you happy to buy rubber back and let's play football every day?" Wang Xika regretted that he brought Lang Naduo this time, the sheep herding boy who drank and played football every day in Shanghekou now seems to have completely changed a person, blinded by hatred.
"Forget about the other feuds, but how can the feud of crocodiles and vampires be counted? If this is all over, what face do I have to be a werewolf? By the way, did you connect my leg? Thank you, buddy, let's go, I always feel that there is a vampire smell here, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. Lang Nado said as he crawled under the bed.
It was not easy for Lang Nado to accept that his leg was given to him by his old enemy Nikolai, and Lang Nado even said that he would see his leg and let it grow on its own. But in the end, Lang Naduo still accepted this fact, and did not cut off his newly connected leg.
Wang Xijia understands Lang Naduo's complex psychology, just like Romeo first found out that he was in love with his old enemy Juliet, and it was like Qiao Feng, who had fought against Liao all his life, suddenly found out that he was actually a Khitan named Xiao Feng. This complex entanglement always takes time to settle down. Wang Xijia decided to give Lang a few more hours, he was woken up in the middle of the night and needed to catch up on sleep.
Early in the morning, unknown birds begin to sing on the island, and seagulls begin to fly over the sea. The cheek man Snake led his brothers to meet the newborn morning sun, and stepped on a small dolphin on the island. The first thing I did was to see how Lang Nado was recovering.
Lang Nado didn't know how to face these cheeks, and healed the appearance of pretending to be asleep. You can't wake up a werewolf pretending to be asleep, and neither can a cheekman.
"He's just picked up his legs, let him rest, let's go. Wang Xika covered for Lang Naduo.
Ah Snake actually didn't want to talk to Lang Na too much, so he casually said two words like "I wish you a speedy recovery", and then came out. Snake came to pick up Wang Xika and Lang Naduo ashore this time, and Nikolai suggested that Lang Naduo rest for two more days, but Wang Xika felt that Lang Naduo might not want to stay here longer, so he took the bed and asked Ah Snake to move to the beach together, and asked for two bottles of wine to disinfect Lang Naduo's wounds.
Meng Jianniang and Peng Lianhu had been waiting for a long time, and everyone was relieved to see that Lang Naduo had recovered well. 500 catties of rubber together with rubber seeds, sprouts, and coffee seeds have been loaded, and everyone is about to set off, but Lang Naduo is dragging two injured legs to find the crocodile on the beach desperately.
Wang Xika said to Lang Naduo like a child: "Brother, you are injured and have difficulty moving, I will help you avenge this revenge." As he spoke, he called a snake to go to the beach to hunt crocodiles.
It is a pleasure to watch the gills fight the crocodile, one of the two gills attracts the attention of the crocodile in front, and the other finds an opportunity to jump on the crocodile's back and step on it, holding the crocodile's back with one hand, holding the crocodile's palate with the other, and breaking the crocodile's head in two like breaking corn. It didn't take long for several to be killed.
Wang Xika saw that the sea crocodile would be cut extinct by the gills if it was broken again, and quickly stopped the slaughter of the snake, and said: "Let's almost do it, we are here to take revenge, there is no need to exterminate the crocodile." ”
A snake said: "Ah, it's okay, we often come here to fight crocodiles, take them to Zecheng to sell, this crocodile skin is made of leather clothes, leather bags are very good, you wear clothes every day on the shore, you can go and buy a few pieces to wear." ”
Wang Xika traveled through the previous era, the earth has reached a consensus, no longer wear fur and use animal leather, Wang Xika himself is also an animal protectionist, so he is more resistant to using crocodile skin to make clothes and bags. But he also understands that it is ancient times, and it is still early to talk about things like animal protection, so it does not prevent them from using animal resources.
When they arrived in Zecheng, the gills first went to the leather shop to peel off the whole skin of the crocodile, and the remaining crocodile meat was found by a food stall for the boss to help process, half of which was roasted over fire and half used to cook soup. Everyone asked the boss for a few barrels of home-brewed wine, and sat together eating barbecue and chatting, which was not too cool.
He hung a few crocodile teeth through his neck, picked up a piece of meat with both hands and gnawed there, gnawed for a while, and then turned into a wolf to chew and chew, and one person ate dozens of catties of meat. While gnawing and expressing his gratitude to Ah Snake: "Thank you Brother Cheek for helping me avenge my broken leg, if everyone can afford me as a little werewolf, I would like to be brothers with different surnames with you." ”
Generally in this case, every man will not refuse to call him a brother and worship a brother, and the cheeks are naturally no exception, and within a few minutes, everyone present has become a brother.
Wang Xika suddenly thought of something, and asked Ah Snake: "If ordinary people are bitten by you, do they have a chance to become cheeks?" In his mind, it doesn't mean much to become a vampire, and he can't eat barbecue. But it's different when you become a cheek person, you can eat human food, and you can live in the water, which is simply beneficial and harmless.
Ah Snake didn't know the answer to this tricky question, so he took advantage of the wine and said, "I don't know, why don't I bite you and try it?" Wang Xika was about to reach out and let Ah Snake bite on impulse.
Meng Jianniang knocked Wang Xijia's hand off with a "snap", and scolded angrily: "Are you afraid that you have drunk too much wine? How can there be such a good thing, you become a woman when you are bitten by a woman? Then why don't you be bitten by a horse? You can still ride away if you have nothing to do and become a horse, and it will save our family from buying those big animals!"
Everyone laughed, and Wang Xika scratched his head in shame, and came back to his senses: Indeed, the reason why being bitten by a vampire becomes a vampire is because blood sucking is actually a disease, and after being infected, it may change the intestinal flora, resulting in inability to eat normally. But werewolves, hairy people, gills and the like belong to genetic mutations in the history of human evolution, and being bitten will not change the genes. As a modern person, how can his scientific literacy be lower than that of an ancient peasant woman like Meng Jianniang, how embarrassing it is to spread it.
