"Where did you get it from?"
Lu Cheng was behind the camp's cafeteria tent when he saw a sleeping wild boar in a cage where a Siberian tiger could be kept.
This wild boar is so large that it is far larger than the wild boar of the earth, at least half a person tall, and nearly two and a half meters long... The surface of the body is surrounded by dark green lines.
And this one is not one, but a whole three.
"A herd of wild boars was fighting at the edge of the camp, and in order to prevent them from rushing into the camp, we used the measurement of paralyzing elephants to knock them down." Said a fighter who was in charge of the perimeter guard today.
"A swarm? This is really a simple folk custom, Dr. Ji, your team shouldn't want to raise this creature, right? ”
Lu Cheng watched a group of researchers in white coats gather around the group of wild boars and record something, so he couldn't help but ask the doctor in charge of the ecology of the area in the camp.
This doctor of zoology, whose original name was Ji Chuan, is the youngest in the research base, only thirty-nine years old.
"Captain Lu, I heard from the aborigines that this wild boar is called the green pig, as long as they are fed a forage called flowering grass, they will become very docile, but the flowering grass is difficult to find, so the local aborigines do not raise this wild boar on a large scale."
Dr. Ji was accompanied by a wild walking beast, which Lu Cheng should have lent him if he remembered correctly.
"Do you want to raise on a large scale? The risk is a bit bigger. ”
Lu Cheng didn't think that raising this large wild boar was the right choice, the feed demand must be several times more than that of ordinary owners, and the key was that Lu Cheng was not sure that this kind of cage could keep this thing up.
"There is no idea of large-scale breeding for the time being, but the aborigines say that this wild boar has the ability to absorb magic in the leylines, and we are curious about how they ingest the energy of magic power, which may be helpful for our magic research." Ji Chuan was still holding a record book of data in his hand, and after he glanced at the contents of the record book, he remembered something.
"And Captain Road, there was actually a patterned pig who died suddenly during a brawl among the pigs." Ji Chuan said.
"Sudden death?" Lu Cheng was a little suspicious when he heard this reason for death.
"Well, we're trying to figure out how to dispose of the corpse, it's two or three tons after we've weighed it, it's a valuable sample, we're already working on the autopsy, but there's a lot of flesh left." Ji Chuan said this and glanced at Lu Cheng again.
"Just say it, want to taste it? Are you sure this pig doesn't carry any germs? Or poisonous in itself. ”
Lu Cheng circled around the sturdy boar inside the iron cage, and the dark green lines on its surface looked like the bright colors on the back of the poison dart frog.
But this pattern should come from magic, in this world not only humans have mastered magic, but even animals seem to have the ability to control magic.
Perhaps that's why this pig grows so big, and creatures of this size should only exist in a world with higher oxygen levels.
"We have already tested the meat quality, and we have discovered thirty-seven new microorganisms in this world, but they are all harmless..."Ji Ming told Lu Cheng another thing that seemed very incredible in this world.
"Harmless?"
If one or two microorganisms are harmless, Lu Cheng still thinks it is normal, but it is not normal at all that more than thirty kinds of microorganisms are harmless.
But Lucheng remembered that Scarley had lost an unknown number of people under the erosion of the Blood Crystal Beast, but there was still no terrible plague.
"The reason? Does it have anything to do with magic? Lu Cheng immediately asked about the doctor, this is far more important than whether the pattern pig and pork are delicious.
"We don't know about this for the time being, but the germs we carry don't seem to have an effect on the natives of this world, and I know the value of it, Captain Road, but the equipment in the camp is a bit rudimentary, and high-precision instruments are needed to get a result." Ji Chuan said.
"That will have to wait until we have a partnership with another country."
Lu Cheng knew that the high-precision scientific laboratory was not as simple as moving the instruments over, and the amount of work to be built was very huge.
"Captain Road."
At this time, one of Ji Chuan's assistants handed over a transparent box to Lu Cheng, and all that were in it were some petri dishes.
"This is a sample of the world's microbes that we have collected so far, and Captain Lu can send them back to the research base first." Ji Chuan said.
Lu Cheng opened the portal directly on the ground, put it in the research base, and then had a brief communication with the people on the research base.
"So do you want that kind of pork for dinner?" Lu Cheng could already smell the scent in the air, and the cooking class had already started to make dinner.
"For the time being, the food made with the patterned pig is only available to the refugees, and the old gentleman named Hubert told me that this pork is a very common dish on the royal table."
Dr. Ji Chuan's first research object was Hubert's walking beast, and it seems that he and Hubert are quite familiar with each other now.
"Confirm the safety of these foods in the Special Zone as soon as possible, the energy consumption of food from the research base has been too high, and we must find a way to be self-sufficient here."
According to Lucheng's statistics, the largest cost of energy in the camp is food, and a batch is sent down from the research base almost every once in a while.
"We'll get back to you as soon as possible." Dr. Ji Chuan said

Derek finished his day's work and returned to camp in a big truck.
As usual, he followed the team to the area called the cafeteria, where there were four tents and more than a dozen long tables.
When Derek first came to the long table, there were only a lot of steamed buns and white porridge on it, but when he came today... Derek smells the meat!
This shocked Derek's spirits, and when he looked at the long table with meat, he noticed a sign next to it.
The sign says 'Meal Ticket Area'.
But because most of the refugees are illiterate, a loudspeaker on the table keeps repeating things like 'Workers with meal tickets can get their meals here'.
When Derek heard this, he immediately searched the pocket of his coat, and there was a pink bill in it.
The bill had been handed out to him by the men after he had finished plowing the field, and among them was a dark green bill that Derek had heard could be exchanged for some groceries.
Derek thought and immediately walked around the crowd towards the meaty area, where he happened to hear a group of people complaining, 'Why can't you get these dishes?'
Those who work more get more food!
The sentence that Niu Shan told him before leaving suddenly sounded in Derek's mind, Derek didn't quite understand it when he sat in the car, but now he suddenly understood what this sentence meant.
