In the lab, the likes of Lesia, Dokik, and Taming are already busy. After being transferred to another lab, Helelli here will be temporarily in charge of Dorkik.

Dorkik said to Chad: "Have you told your friend Huoman about the inspection?" ”

"Oh! I'm going to talk to him, and you guys wait a minute. ”

In another room, Huo Man was lying on the bed looking at the communicator.

"Hey! Huoman, do you want to have a job? ”

Huo Man didn't look up: "What's the benefit of work?" ”

"Of course there are benefits, at least, if you have a job, you will have food."

"If you don't have a job like me, you won't have anything to eat in the future?"

"That's for sure, each of us here has to work to support ourselves, just like your hunters and gatherers."

Huo Man looked up and smiled: "Ahem! I'm your guest, so I don't need to work, do I? ”

"You think you're a character in a TV series, and you live by talking about love all day long! Oops! Show me if you're still watching those romance TV series. With that, he went to grab Huoman's communicator, and Huoman quickly hid the thing behind him: "What are you doing!" What! The people in here are so cute! I want to learn, ahem! Girls are so beautiful, too! Speak sweetly. ”

Chad: "! I see you've been poisoned. ”

Huo Man rolled his eyelids: "Don't bother, I'm going to use it to chase girls!" ”

"Oh! It's still addictive! You really don't go to work! ”

"Not available."

Chade thought for a while: "Hmph! I want to soak girls, but I'm too lazy to have maggots, and I want to get something for nothing, too! I still want girls to like it, so I'm dreaming about you! Look, isn't that girl busy working all day long! ”

Huoman stopped: "Really! They're all working? ”

I found a play: "Tell you!" If you want to soak girls, it's not okay to just talk sweetly and hard, and it's not good if the time is short. ”

Huo Man became interested: "You say, how to do it?" ”

"You haven't been here for long, you're our guest, it's not in vain!"

"Then, I'm not a guest, I'm your person, how should I do it?"

"You've figured it out, don't want to be a guest, you just want to be our person?"

Huo Man nodded: "Hmm! I've thought about it a long time ago, so I'll be your man. ”

"Hey! That's right, in this way, it's half the battle, and if you participate in some labor every day, you will be more sure to catch up with girls. Look, just like this morning, what a chance that is, isn't it? ”

Huoman got up from the bed: "Then I will go to work in the field now." ”

"Don't be busy! Listen to me. Cha De thought to himself: stinky boy, see that you are still not hit: "It's not appropriate for you to be there every day, every moment, she looks at you every day, all the time, and it's not good for you, you think, aren't you afraid that she will annoy you?" You should have to go to see her once in a while, so that it would be more reliable. ”

"What do you mean occasionally?"

"It's not often, it's not timely."

"Will this work?"

"Since you go to see her occasionally, you can't always meet and work in one place."

"Where's that?"

"I've arranged it, it's in our lab."

Huo Man looked at Chade suspiciously, wondering if he was lying to himself.

Chad: "Not everyone can go in and work in the laboratory!" You don't have to be a scientist to have the ability to do it, and you have the ability to know what it means? It means that you are capable and smart. ”

Chad arrives with Fireman to Dokik.

"It's time to start, isn't it the same as last time?"

"You two are not exactly the same, specifically, listen to their arrangements." He pointed to Tamin: "Huoman, you go to Tamin first." After saying that, he pointed to a simple bed: "Lie down!" Your test metrics are basically the same as the last time. ”

Huoman, who was at Tamin's place, was also lying on a simple bed.

Huoman: "That's my job. ”

"Hmmm! Yes! "Tamin didn't understand what it meant at first, he didn't know what Cha De said to Huoman, so he gave another perfunctory 'ah'.

Huoman: "I've seen it on TV, this should be a physical examination, right?" ”

"Yes! Checking your body is work for you. ”

Huoman muttered to himself: "Strange, this is also work? ””

Ta Ming first used a few straps on the bed to fix it around Huoman: "Don't move! I'll give you a full body scan. He pushed an instrument from not far away, and a protrusion on it was pointed at Huoman, and then he adjusted it, and the protrusion moved along a slide to go through Huoman from head to toe.

Tamin took another glassware and a piece of metal and said to Huoman: "Open your mouth, your tongue sticks out a little." So he scraped the metal surface twice on Huoman's tongue, and washed the metal sheet in a vessel with water. After that, he took a magnifying glass and leaned down to look for something on Huoman's body. He first saw that many of the scales on Huo Man's body were cocked from the close parts, and then he carefully looked at the cocked scales with a magnifying glass, found a pair of tweezers, gently flicked the scales a few times, and asked Huo Man: "Some of the scales on your body seem to be falling off." ”

Huo Man lay listless: "Hmm! Know! ”

"When you were younger, did you often have scales to fall off?"

"Not really! It is a piece of skin that falls off and grows a new one. ”

"Whew! It's molting. How many times are there? Grow that big? ”

"Six or seven times."

"Well, you're supposed to be an adult now, and you're not going to change your skin anymore, right?"

"Hmmm! I won't be able to change my skin anymore. ”

"Have you returned your scales when you're an adult?"

"Drop, but new ones will grow."

"I've pulled out a few scales, is that okay?"

"Pluck it! Those that are already off are useless anyway. ”

"I pull it gently, and if you hurt, just say it and I won't move. As for me, try to find those with less adhesion and pieces falling off. After saying that, he pulled out a few of the less adhesive scales on Huo Man's body, and he moved gently like a lady, and he was very careful, pulling out one to see if there was any body fluid flowing out of the place where he pulled out.

Ta Ming looked at Huo Man after his action: "Okay! It's over, nothing painless or uncomfortable, right? ”

Huo Man grinned: "Your movements are very gentle, I don't feel anything." ”

Ta Ming was proud: "It's good if it doesn't hurt you." ”

He took out a ruler and measured Huoman's height. Then he turned to his workbench and got busy.

About twenty minutes later.

Tamin pointed to something on the ground: "Can you get up and stand on that scale, and I'll weigh you." Huoman did as he was told.

Tamin: "It's going to be over right away." Come, spread your wings, and I'll measure them. Huoman did as he was told.

After doing it, Ta Ming smiled and said to Huo Man: "Originally, there was another item to take a blood sample, but your blood vessels didn't know where they were, so you couldn't do it." ”

Huoman shrugged: "No way, I don't know where it is." ”

Ta Ming thought for a while: "There is another way, that is, the amount of mining is a little small, is it okay?" ”

Huoman: "Come on, then! ”

Tamin pointed to Huoman's hand: "Just pick it on your finger!" It may hurt a little, but it will get better soon. He took a thin metal needle and a small piece of glass, and covered the back of Huoman's hand with scales, the inside of which was a fine diamond-shaped fold, and his fleshy hand looked through it for a while. The scales on the back of his hands and the rest of his body are dark gray, while the inside of his fingers and palms are lighter gray. Tamin gently pinched one of the three fingers of Fireman's left hand, which was longer in the middle, and stabbed a metal needle into his skin. The first blow was too light to pierce in, and the second time he increased the force and depth, only to see a drop of black liquid shiny down the metal needle. Next, he applied the liquid from the needle to a small glass piece. So, two more times, stopped.

Tamin raised his hand to Huo Man: "You press the bleeding area with your right finger for a while, just like me." As he spoke, he pressed a finger of his left hand with his right hand. Huo Man did as Taming had instructed him to hold down his bleeding fingers.

Tamin: "Press it for a while, and see that it no longer bleeds, so you don't need to press it anymore." All right! That's all for today. Thank you for your cooperation! ”

Huoman: "You're welcome, is this work?" ”

After a thorough study of 'Luckyland' in the previous months, scientists at the base have obtained a large amount of scientific data. Scientists have drawn data from the study that it will take a long time to use native plants to breed food crops that meet the needs of local growth, but the problem of human food intake cannot be delayed for too long, so it is finally determined that it is the fastest and safest to use the food seed resources brought by the earth to produce food.

In order to produce food as soon as possible and realize the most urgent and difficult system project in the new environment, everyone in the base has dedicated their enthusiasm and strength. Yes, everything is the most difficult at the beginning, this is what Ivan clearly told everyone at the beginning, and the most difficult thing at the beginning is not only the most important, but also more difficult to achieve in itself.

There are also many scientific disciplines involved in the production of food. From the perspective of the purpose of food production, it is not only to meet the basic energy consumption of human beings, but also to meet the health needs of human beings. To meet energy consumption and health, in terms of refinement, it is not only to produce carbohydrates, but also to produce various proteins, vitamins and other substances required by the human body for normal physiology.

On Earth, the production of the above substances is an easy thing for scientists to achieve, as long as the earth's environment is not too bad. However, we are now in a completely different and new environment, and the elements of food production in this new environment are still being studied. What is even more difficult is that this action can only be won and not lost, it can only succeed and not fail, and losing and failing is not only a simple matter of starvation, but also the possibility of death, and even the eventual destruction of mankind.

The content and structure of elements in the soil, the content and structure of microbial species, sunlight, water and other important environmental conditions that affect the growth of plants must be understood, and it takes a lot of scientific knowledge, time and energy to use them until they can be used by humans. Therefore, the long-term development of science is only an afterthought, and the understanding of science is urgently needed at present.

After a long period of satellite reconnaissance, careful study by various scientists, and a combination of various prerequisites, they chose to build a number of fully enclosed grain production greenhouses ranging from about two to five acres each on an island of about 130 square kilometers on the sea, about 400 kilometers east of the base. Because the metal material preparation conditions as the supporting material of the greenhouse are not yet mature and time is not allowed, it can only be replaced by wood. Light transmission and lighting sealing materials are mainly glass that is easy to manufacture from raw materials. As for the problem that the light intensity is too weak and the temperature is too low to affect the growth of crops, they have dismantled one of the fusion engines of the wormhole spacecraft as a source of electricity to provide lighting and warm the greenhouse at a thermostatic level.

Many people have been notified: because the construction of a constant temperature grain greenhouse requires a lot of wood, there are no men or some women who continue to arrange to work in the laboratory, hoping to participate in the logging work. I didn't receive a notice when I found out, so I went to Wen He to ask the reason.

Chade got straight to the point: "Why didn't I get a notice to go to the log?" ”

Wen He was busy looking at things in front of the screen, and raised his eyes to check it: "You and Huoman have not been notified, you continue to undergo physical examinations in the laboratory." ”

"Why? I'm in good health, can't I come back after cutting wood? ”

"We also want the more loggers to go as much as possible, but Huoman is a guest and not a good place to go. If you want to go to Huoman, there will be no one to accompany you, do you think it is appropriate? ”

"What's wrong with Huoman throwing it here? He was an adult, and he was very intelligent, a man with complete self-control over his actions. I'm basically an idler here, and I don't have enough people to cut wood, aren't you wasting my healthy man? The entire base is already short of resources for manual labor. ”

Wen He stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "The reason is quite good, am I wrong?" ”

"Isn't it!"

As he was talking, Zhao Li came in, he nodded to Cha De, and then looked at Wen He: "It's not appropriate for this lady to arrange to go to logging, that thing is dangerous, and they can't run fast, what if something happens?" ”

"Where are the men?"

"It's okay for men to be less, although there are fewer people to do less, but it's not easy to have accidents!"

"If they are not allowed to cut trees, they can only remove leaves and cut branches."

"Then two or three are enough, be younger and in better health!"

Wen He thought about it for a while: "Okay! ”

"There are so many people moving too much, and the operation area is large and scattered, is it possible to arrange a few security personnel?"

"It's okay for four people to be armed with guns, right? Haven't we already discussed the arrangement of four teams of personnel to divide into four work areas? The work surface should not be too separated from each other, and I estimate that the safety problem can be taken care of. Of course, the man with the gun also has to cut the wood and guard at the same time, hey! In short, the amount of logging is not the main thing, safety is the first priority. If you can get out safely and come back safely, you're done. ”

"It's not indiscriminate," Zhao Li thought for a while and smiled: "Just do as you say!" ”

Cha De listened to the two of them talk about safety issues, rolled his eyes for a while, and said to himself: "I think, it's better to call Huoman!" ”

Zhao Li: "What if you only cut down dead trees, and there aren't so many nearby?" ”

Wen He: "It's not easy to do, people who have nothing to do rest or help!" Anyway, for the sake of safety, the teams must be able to see each other. ”

Chad said to Wen He: "Hey! I said, let's call Huoman together! At least he's more familiar with the forest than we are. ”

Wen He shrugged: "No way! The lab still needs him, and they won't let him go. ”

Seeing that it didn't work, he had to give up, and he left Wenhe with Zhaoli.

On the way, Cha De said to Zhaoli: "It's too boring to stay in the laboratory all day long, and now you can really enter the jungle." ”

"Didn't you just come out of the forest?"

Chad shook his head: "There it is!" It's near the entrance of the cave all day and night, how dare you go far away! ”

"Won't they take you around?"

"As soon as they go out, they all fly with their wings, isn't it in the way of taking me?"

Zhao Li nodded: "That's right." You can do the check-up here with peace of mind, I'll get ready. ”

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the trees and onto the uneven ground of the mountains, casting shadows on the ground of trees of different heights and sizes of leaves. The wind blows the trees, and the leaves flutter with the wind. The bark, shape, and leaves of the trees vary, and at first glance they differ in variety. The leaves are round, oval, needle-shaped; The bark is dark black, light black, light gray; It has an upright shape with leaves growing directly on the trunk; There are layers of forks, and the leaves grow on the branches; There are also leaves at the top of the tree that grow together, and the bottom is bare, which looks like a big pompom toy from a distance; There are also trees that cannot be described in terms of appearance at all.

The crowd of people in formation, carrying simple lumberjack saws such as axes and saws on their shoulders or in their hands, drove slowly into the depths of the forest. The trees at the edge of the forest are sparse and there are not many varieties, and the further you go, the more varieties of trees increase, from which you can clearly distinguish them. The people who march are talking to each other with different voices, and their eyes are looking left and right at the terrain or looking down at the road.

In the midst of the conversations, someone shouted, "Hey! Look at that tree, how beautiful! ”

"Look at that one looks so weird."

"Beware of a pit."

"Hey! That, that, in the direction I pointed, you see, it doesn't look like my finger is reaching out to the sky. ”

A few people approached some of the trees, wandering around to check the trunks or branches of the trees. Needless to say, they must be botanists or some kind of scientists.

Someone in the crowd said, "Come on, Dorquik, don't you see these trees every day?" ”

Dokik: "We see each other every day, but it's all cut out and dead, and the living ones haven't been touched." ”

Crowd: "Then you can plant a few in the base and see it every day." ”

Dorkik: "It's an idea, but it's not that easy! At least not now. ”

The crowd gradually walked away, and the broken back said to these people: "Hey! A few followed. A few people who watched the trees reluctantly left their "beloved" trees to keep up with the team.

Seeing that there were already a lot of trees around, Wen He told the team to stop and gather not far from him: "Come!" Come! Let's divide into four groups of six or seven people each! Each group must have a weapon that guarantees safety. Now, take sides. Looking at the team of free combinations, Wen He pointed with his finger and said: "There are too many people in this group, go to two to which group, hey!" Ay! That's right!" He looked around again: "Good! In this way, you must remember to cut down only those that are dead. Also, for the sake of safety, don't go too far, and the teams should be able to see each other, so that if any accidents happen, they can also take care of each other. Of course, if something happens, we should not be chaotic, we should report the situation in time, and at the same time, we should gather in one place, and at that time, the more we gather, the more secure we will be for each other. Got it? ”

Crowd: "Why are only dead trees being cut down?" ”

"Don't ask so much, just do it. Find the trees cut down by your own team! Also, try to find a larger tree. Let's get busy! ”

One by one, the four teams parted and headed in the direction they were uncertain about to find the dead tree. (To be continued.) )
