Pangolins, also known as the carp, as the name suggests, were a fish in the eyes of the ancient Chinese.

However, this is obviously a misconception, and the real pangolin refers to several animals belonging to the only family and genus of the genus Pangolin under the subclass Mammalian Euzozomatria. They are authentic warm-blooded mammals, and due to their scaly properties, they are also used as a scorn term for dragonmen in some private contexts.

I have to say that this is very appropriate, but this kind of racist title scolds both the ontology and the metaphor. Those who dare to do this blatantly are undoubtedly real warriors, and will get the fate that warriors deserve - banned online and offline for six months, and imposed a certain amount of fines as compensation for the loss of the victim's reputation.

Online silence is to close the person's right to speak in the unlimited network, and in many advanced worlds, there is a punishment mechanism to punish those who speak disrespectfully or have ulterior motives; The realization of offline silence is entirely due to the existence of the sympathetic module, after the judgment of the user is issued, the sympathetic module will cut off the external expression of the user's language center, making him temporarily mentally mute.

Having said that, the leader of Long Ying in front of Hong Ye hissed and screamed, as an old human without a sympathetic module, he couldn't understand what Long Ying meant at all. And Lu Qian didn't know if she really didn't receive the transmission or deliberately pretended not to know, anyway, what the pangolin said was still a mystery in the end.

Hong Ye suspected that Long Ying couldn't hear the conversation between him and Lu Qian in reality, and Lu Qian, as a temporary translator, could completely deceive the upper and lower levels, turn the clouds and rain, and play the two sides around.

As a highly specialized species, pangolins have a strong sense of smell, and as a result, they have almost completely lost their sense of sight and hearing. Although Long Ying, as a spirit animal, has undergone genetic modification and partially recovered her vision, her brain capacity is limited after all, and the cerebral cortex that can be used to process vision and hearing is very small.

When he faced the new human, the sympathetic module was naturally able to translate, but when he arrived in this old human customs reserve, he encountered an uncommunicable existence like Hong Ye, which really made him feel powerless. Of course, if you carry auxiliary equipment, Long Ying can still communicate with Hong Ye in the real world without hindrance under the translation of the equipment, but looking at his smooth appearance, he obviously doesn't care about things outside his body.

In short, when it was close to noon, when Hong Ye mixed a high-grade natural termite egg from Lei Jue, who had gone to the barbecue early in the morning during the mission, with quartz sand used to assist digestion, and sprinkled salt water to "offer" Long Ying, it seemed that the pangolin had forgiven him regardless of his previous suspicions.

Hong Ye was washing the dishes behind the dining hall, and Fakong next to him asked him in a low voice: "Is this good, those balls don't seem to be cloned, how much life debt do you have to owe after a meal!" ”

It is estimated that few people have seen what cloned termite eggs look like, but Fakong often eats cloned fish roe, and he can still vaguely detect the difference. For example, consistency - natural termite eggs are different in shape and size, while cloned fish roe is carved out of a mold, and the same is true for cloned termite eggs.

Hong Ye didn't say anything when he heard this. Termite eggs are just eggs, not to mention whether they are pests or not, and regardless of the level of life, in the final analysis, they are still just some eggs, ignorant and unconscious, even if they are eggs laid by people, what is there to care about?

Fa Lu looked at Hong Ye's face and played a round field: "Uncle Shi must have thought more carefully than us, maybe these are all widows?" "A widow is an unfertilized egg that does not have the potential to develop into an animal. In addition to cloned food, oligosacks are the bottom line of natural animal food that monks can accept.

Fakong nodded, accepting this explanation, but Hong Ye felt a little funny in his heart. Unfertilized termite eggs do not hatch like eggs, they can hatch into males.

However, once there is a large-scale laying of male eggs, then the colony is over. Male ants don't produce anything, and incubating them is a waste of food. The basis for the prosperity and stability of termite society, and indeed any society, is those who are unknown. No matter how high the social status of male ants is, the entire ant colony only needs a few medium-sized ants, and the others can only be eliminated on their own initiative.

As uncles, the nephews still have to reply to two sentences, otherwise they will think that Hong Ye has an opinion on the two of them. So Hong Ye diverted the topic and asked the two what they thought of the field food sent by the law enforcement team.

The electricity was cut off, and the Huazang Temple did not use cooking utensils that burned firewood as heat, but directly enjoyed the field food delivered by the law enforcement team for convenience. China's individual field rations have enjoyed an international reputation for hundreds of years, and since this is an advantage, of course, it must be maintained, so that these field foods are getting better and better, and now they are even better than the taste of many chain restaurants.

"Well, it's hearty!" As soon as Fakong heard this, he became energetic, and the doubts about termite eggs just now were completely put to ...... side: "There are a lot of tropical fruits, and that red banana is the first time I've seen ."

Huazang Temple is built on the top of the mountain, the land is not produced, the food is transported by a mountain elevator, and a huge underground cold storage is built. The cold storage temperature is low, which is not suitable for preserving tropical fruits, which can cause them to suffer frostbite, so this kind of food is rarely purchased.

Falu has a slightly different focus: "Their rice is amazing, it is hot when you open the package, and it was obviously very cold when you got it in your hand before. ”

A monk in his thirties at the back said, "It's really strange, the boiled corn I took was also torn off the package and immediately became hot. I heard that people outside are magical, but now it seems that it is true. ”

Hong Ye opened his mouth, and had the intention to correct that this was science and not some evil magic, but when he thought about it, he didn't know the principle of it, so it would be too paranoid to say with such certainty that he didn't understand anything at all.

Different from the previous self-heating cans that heat food through a thermogenic chemical reaction, this kind of self-heating rations that are directly hot when the package is torn open is still the first time Hong Ye has seen it, and he has never even heard of it before. He didn't think much of it when he used it, but after reflection, he realized that he didn't know anything about how it worked, and with his current knowledge, it should be impossible for this thing to exist.

There is no heat source in sight, and it seems that it is not absorbing heat from the surrounding environment, so why does the cold food become hot out of thin air?

When he asked Lu Qian, Lu Qian replied that it was confidential. But it's not a military secret, it's a commercial secret.

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to be called a molecular prodrome trap...... After opening the package, the protective air is emptied, and then the food absorbs the air and binds to those "traps", which are converted into complete nutrients and release heat. ”

"Why haven't you seen it before? EMMM, this technology seems to have been independently developed by the Logistics Support Division of our cross-border law enforcement team. There should also be external sales, but the audience is relatively small, so it's not very famous. ”

Lu Qian recalled with uncertainty. However, it is said that it is a trade secret, and Hong Ye does not want to imitate it, and this kind of public introduction information is enough for him to satisfy his curiosity.

And the audience is small, and he quickly figured it out. If the new humans want to order a takeout, they can basically be delivered by drones to any place they can set foot in within half an hour, so what kind of dry food do they bring! Although Lu Qian didn't say it, listening to the names of those elements who trap and bluff people, you can guess that these rations cost a lot of money, and no one is wronged, and it is no wonder that they are unknown.

With a long yawn, Hong Ye and Lu Qian separated and returned to their monk's dormitory. Of course, you have to take a lunch break after lunch, especially in such a boring place.

Hong Ye saw that many of the law enforcement team members who seemed to be leisurely along the way but were actually at a loss for the task and helpless had become somewhat familiar with the way of communication with the old humans in one morning, and they all greeted each other when they met his fellow disciples, and he still felt quite satisfied.

Even if they don't understand and agree with each other's worldview, at least no one will say such a boring prejudice as "You incompletely evolved monkeys don't come to my eyes to hang around ......" or "These freaks with impure blood can no longer be called human ......".

That's enough.
