Chapter 99: The Eccentric Dr. Zhang
Zhang Lu came to the entrance of the nearest underground station and stopped, the door of the exchange cabin in front of her sensed that someone opened automatically, she was about to walk over, when she suddenly found that there was a light hovercraft airship on her left approaching her quickly, and finally stopped beside her.
A tall black man wearing sunglasses jumped down after locking the airship, then came to Zhang Lu and took off his sunglasses, and said with a serious face: "Hello, Miss Zhang Lu." ”
Zhang Lu vigilantly observed the black man in front of him, he was tall and thin, wearing trousers and short sleeves, and a blue tie on his chest.
However, Zhang Lu didn't know him, looked up at the other party and asked carefully: "...... are you?"
The tall man suddenly woke up and immediately explained: "My name is Wang Yuandong, a student of Dr. Zhang Hongbing, and I am here to pick you up." ”
This person spoke very fast, Zhang Lu almost didn't understand, but when she heard the name Zhang Hongbing, she relaxed a little, because Aunt Sarah repeatedly told her to visit Dr. Zhang Hongbing as soon as she came here, he is an old friend of Aunt Sarah for many years, and he will give her the help she can.
What Zhang Lu didn't expect was that Dr. Zhang's students actually came to greet her in person, and Zhang Lu couldn't help but secretly thank Aunt Sarah in her heart, Aunt thought so well about herself, just like her mother.
Wang Yuandong put his sunglasses back on, and saw that Zhang Lu was still in a daze, so he lowered his head and asked, "Can we go?" ”
Zhang Lu hurriedly said, "Of course, let's go." ”
Wang Yuandong rode into the driver's seat of the motorized airship, and then looked into the distance, and after a while, he didn't feel Zhang Lu getting into the car, so he looked back and found that Zhang Lu was looking at himself with a little embarrassment, and then looked at the back seat of the motorized airship. Wang Yuandong's motorboat is a typical two-person airship, with narrow seats behind it that make the occupants have to lean forward and hold the driver to ensure safety.
Wang Yuandong immediately showed a black man's characteristic expression of pretending to cry, split two thick lips and shouted exaggeratedly like a woman: "Oh, I'm sorry, in fact, I prefer to sit in the back and hug you, if you don't mind." ”
Zhang Lu finally gradually caught up with the rhythm of this eccentric Wang Yuandong's speech, and she finally responded categorically: "No! ”
Wang Yuandong was not surprised by Zhang Lu's nervousness at all, he continued to exaggerate with a strange expression: "Yes, of course you can only answer no, because you can't drive, it's a pity that I lost this great opportunity to hold you." Oh, my God! Actually, I can teach you how to fly this jet ship. ”
Wang Yuandong jumped down again as he spoke, and then sat on the passenger seat with his legs crossed, assuming a graceful posture: "Just like this, what do you think?" He still spoke like a machine gun.
Zhang Lu was a little angry after hearing this, she was not sure whether the other party was telling the truth or joking with herself, so she said hesitantly: "No...... No thanks, thank you......"
Wang Yuandong couldn't wait for Zhang Lu to say that he immediately said: "Very good, in fact, I don't like beautiful women, I prefer generous women, you know, mature women." ”
After Wang Yuandong finished speaking, he playfully closed and opened his right eye playfully at Zhang Lu, and continued: "I'm not interested in you, please forgive me for making a fast-forward action for the embarrassment between you and me, so that you can save some time, I'm sorry." ”
Zhang Lu was speechless when she heard this, she sat on the motorboat obediently in silence, holding Wang Yuandong very stiffly with both hands, and looking into the distance with a side face.
Wang Yuandong started the airship and drove forward quickly, he could obviously feel Zhang Lu's plump body behind him clinging to him, the guy couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and quietly swallowed his saliva. But Wang Yuandong really doesn't like his mother-in-law's woman, which makes him a little conflicted.
Wang Yuandong's motorized airship system has the qualification to pass freely in the 56 districts of the base, and they will go directly from the 55th area to the 33rd northern district of the natural science academy in the shortest distance.
Along the way, Zhang Lu admired the many strange trees next to him through the dim street lamp, which looked to be more than 10 meters high, and the trunk was like a huge radish, and it took four or five people to hug it. There are a handful of leaves in the canopy, and the rows stand tall in the distance, which is very spectacular.
This place is completely different from what Zhang Lu imagined, because she saw not only the playground, but also the fields, meadows, and many vegetable gardens. It seems that many of the buildings here are as simple, comfortable and natural as the countryside on earth. Zhang Lu didn't expect that people would turn this place into a beautiful countryside.
"I know that nature is the most beautiful, and I admit that I love it, but do people spend so much resources and energy and time to build an earth-like village here? You know, at this cost, we can create thousands of these templates on Earth. Zhang Lu's heart was full of doubts, and finally couldn't help but express her opinion.
Wang Yuandong was a little surprised that Zhang Lu asked such a question, he thought that she cared more about the teacher Zhang Hongbing, and asked some questions about the teacher's situation, because Wang Yuandong knew that Dr. Zhang and this genius had never met.
Wang Yuandong thought for a while and said: "What you said is a bit reasonable, but the meaning of creating a wonderful natural manor here is far from because we miss our home on the earth, just like a baby in swaddling clothes crying to find its mother, and then hypocritically build a village to express our longing for our homeland on earth." ”
He rubbed his nose with his right hand and continued: "Everything on the earth is a gift from God, and every life is unique. But the fact that human life and wealth on the moon base may be able to continue, and that is the core meaning of it. ”
Zhang Lu was surprised to hear Wang Yuandong's explanation, this guy is worthy of being Zhang Hongbing's student, although he looks a little bohemian, but he should not be underestimated.
When Zhang Lu changed his opinion of Wang Yuandong a little, this guy continued to talk proudly: "You should look at this from another angle, this can be said to be a huge biological genetic modification project of human beings, everything here is a new generation of genetic optimization, and here is a biological gene pool of great significance for human beings for future civilization."
"In addition, these earth-like creatures that we have copied on the moon, although we have tried our best to simulate the earth's atmospheric pressure, climate, sunlight exposure, soil, and other similar environments and conditions, but all the results here are finally obtained by human beings with nearly half a century of painstaking efforts, and it is obvious that the failures and difficulties experienced by human beings are unimaginable. So, the manor we just passed by was actually the greatest achievement of the Department of Lunar Biology, and that was the pride of Dr. Zhang Hongbing. In fact, we have added a solid waterproof layer to the soil under the entire estate at a depth of 10 meters to prevent water loss......"
Zhang Lu faced Wang Yuandong's gushing speech, she realized that she had just looked at the surface here and easily came to a conclusion, she knew that she had inadvertently offended this person, and finally interrupted Wang Yuandong and said: "I'm sorry, I just said it casually, I didn't think about it so much, please don't mind." ”
Wang Yuandong listened to Zhang Lu's apology, he turned his face sideways and didn't speak again, because they were about to arrive at District 33, they were about to enter the residential area, and they were about to arrive at the destination Dr. Zhang's apartment.
Each giant glass roof of the lunar base is controlled by a quantum cloud server to change the electroplating layer inside the multi-layer composite alloy glass to protect the environment and temperature inside the base. By controlling and screening the spectrum of alloy glass that can be β through the roof, the quantum server allows humans to simulate the effects of day and night here, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the temperature inside the base. Finally, the server uses this method to obtain different air temperatures inside the base, so that the air inside the base can circulate, and the climate characteristics of cold and warm are suitable without obvious demarcation.
Under the night sky inside the base, Wang Yuandong's motorized airship finally slowly docked in front of a long row of apartments on the second floor of the single courtyard.
Wang Yuandong drove the airship into the courtyard of apartment No. 12, took off his sunglasses after extinguishing the fire and turned around and said, "We have arrived, I hope you like it here." ”
Zhang Lu embarrassedly let go of the hands holding Wang Yuandong, and then looked up at the house, the lights inside were still on. She didn't speak, jumped down and waited quietly, speculating about Dr. Zhang's image if he should be a thin old man with a mustache.
While waiting, Zhang Lu found a few pumpkin seedlings planted around the yard, and the strange thing was that the pumpkin vine looked less than two meters long, but it grew about 10 small pumpkins, and those fruits were still hanging with dewdrops. Zhang Lu walked over and squatted down curiously, feeling the novelty of this fast-growing pumpkin variety.
"It was my improved variety three years ago, and the whole pumpkin vine survived for about 60 days, but each seedling can produce 100 to 160 fruits, maybe the soil here has changed them."
At this time, the door of the apartment did not know when it had opened, and a man of medium stature walked out of it, he was still wearing reading glasses that had long been eliminated, and he really grew two thick mustaches, and finally stood on the terrace of the gate, watching Zhang Lu seriously introduce his pumpkin varieties.
When Zhang Lu heard this, he turned to look at the soft-voiced man in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim, if this person was Dr. Zhang, then it was really too far from what he imagined.
Wang Yuandong walked to the bottom of the steps in front of the man at this time and said, "Teacher, then I'll go back and rest first." ”
Dr. Zhang looked at him and said, "Go ahead, thank you for your time." Wang Yuandong then turned around and walked towards the apartment next door.
"Are you...... Grandpa Zhang? Zhang Lu took two steps forward, looked at the man intently and asked in a low voice, the person in front of him can prove that he has a certain age, and his figure and appearance are not yet 50 years old.
Wang Yuandong, who was next door, was about to enter the house, and when he heard Zhang Lu call Dr. Zhang Grandpa Zhang, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and then opened the door while waiting for the doctor to reprimand her. But what made Wang Yuandong unbelievable was that he only heard Dr. Zhang respond: "Well, come in, it's not too early." ”
"Oh my God! Could it be that she is his own granddaughter? Wang Yuandong speculated jealously, and then walked down the terrace again in confusion, looking at the teacher, the door had been closed at this time, he scratched his head in wonder and said, "But isn't Dr. Zhang unmarried for life, how can it be ......?"
Wang Yuandong walked up to the terrace again with a muttering to himself, and finally closed the door. All of a sudden, the silence of the night returned, and the sparkling lights in the house filled the serenity and happiness of this new home of mankind.
"Dr. Zhang, it was Aunt Sara who asked me to come here to find you." Zhang Lu followed Dr. Zhang to the house, and the whole living room was full of bonsai, which made Zhang Lu even more surprised that there were piles of books that had long been eliminated everywhere, and Zhang Lu realized that Grandpa Zhang was a strange young old man.
After Zhang Hongbing entered the room, he lowered his head and carefully observed a pot of Junzi Orchid placed on the windowsill, and after listening to Zhang Lu's words, he raised his head and helped his glasses, looked at Zhang Lu and nodded: "Hmm." "When it's over, continue to observe the pot of gentleman's orchid.
Zhang Lu was a little embarrassed, so she continued to talk: "It's so interesting here, I mean I've never seen so many books, and it looks like a small library." ”
But Zhang Hongbing, who was opposite Zhang Lu, didn't seem to hear her words at all, and kept looking at the flowers intently. After a long while, Dr. Zhang suddenly remembered Zhang Lu and saw that she was sitting uncomfortably on the sofa, so he walked over and sat down opposite her.
"Girl, Sarah and I are close friends, she has never asked me for anything, this time she told me to take care of you, of course I can't let her down." Dr. Zhang stared at Zhang Lu and said slowly.
Zhang Lu hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes...... It's hard work".
The doctor paused and continued, "Your name is Zhang Lu, right. ”
"Yes, Grandpa Zhang." Zhang Lu finally relaxed a little and smiled at Zhang Hongbing.
Dr. Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this time, this little girl seemed to be very polite at the moment, and she did not have the bad temper of the aristocratic children he imagined, and finally showed a smile and said: "You are amazing, congratulations on joining the Lunar Academy of Natural Sciences, I like you." It's not too early, you go to that room to rest, if you don't mind, that room will be yours from now on. ”
Dr. Zhang pointed to the room on the west side of the living room with his right hand, stood up and walked to his bedroom.
"Good night, girl." Dr. Zhang looked back at Zhang Lu and gently closed the door.
"Good night." Zhang Lu replied politely, got up and walked towards her new room.
