Chapter 41 Construction of a second base
Wen He patted Huo Man on the shoulder and smiled: "We here, men and women make friends, they generally have a purpose, and they won't forget it, right?" Old. ”
Huoman: "What do you mean?" ”
Dork: "Let's take our time!" You'll know what it means over time. ”
Zhao Li hurried in, holding a petri dish with a lid in his hand, containing the carcass of the animal he had trampled to death. He walked up to Huoman and showed it to Huoman for identification. Huo Man took it and looked at it and confirmed: "Oh! It's this animal. I saw a cure for him in the field, in the field south of the gate, the size of a palm with thick leaves. ”
Wen He said to Zhaoli: "Old Zhao, please run again." ”
Zhao Li: "Alright! Pointing at Bai Min and said, "If you are cured, you have to thank me well, otherwise"
Zhao Li walked to the door, and Wen He instructed: "Old Zhao, if you are not sure, just collect a few more things and come back." ”
"Got it."
Ten minutes later, Zhao Li returned, and he hugged a lot of plants with a coat - with leaves and stalks.
Zhao Li shivered: "It's getting dark, and it's quite cold." ”
Huo Man took Zhao Li's clothes: "You can find out that this plant was also used for treatment in our place last time, don't worry." He picked out some leaves in it, quickly tore them apart with the palm of his hand, and twisted them for a while, and saw that the leaves were rotten and black and green juice overflowed, so he applied the rotten leaves to Bai Min's wound. Dorkik wrapped the bandage he had prepared around Bai Min's arm and secured it with adhesive tape.
Huo Man looked at his hand that was dyed black and green: "Okay." ”
Wen He said to Bai Min: "Don't go back to the dormitory, just set up a bunk in the laboratory, so that you can observe at any time." Can I have someone bring you your personal stuff again? ”
Bai Min was a little reluctant: "Does it have to be like this?" This is a big place - a laboratory! ”
Wen He: "It's okay! You should actually stay in the isolation room, because we have limited conditions, so we can only settle here for now. ”
Dorkik said to Wenhe: "It's okay, right?" ”
Wen He: "It's already off work, what do the others want!" Stay for a while. ”
Bai Min went to the place arranged for him to rest. This is the one next to the lab where you can find it. Zhao Li wanted to be with his family, so he said hello and left.
Wen He: "Chad, you and Huoman are not going to rest?" ”
Chad: "We live here, we eat here, and we don't want to go anywhere now." You're busy with yours, leave us alone. ”
Wen He: "You can do it yourself!" To Dorkik: "You're in no hurry, are you?" ”
Dokik shook his head and answered.
Wen He pointed at Bai Min and Chade: "Take some time, can you tell me about the situation of his two physical examinations?" ”
Chade got up and wanted to avoid: "Check Lao Bai's first, I'll get out of the way with Huoman!" ”
Wen Hexu raised his hand and smiled: "Just listen to it, it's not an unsightly thing." Ivan's discussed with me and thought that there are no secrets that we can't let people know as a collective, not to mention that you two are still participants, so you have the right to know the truth. ”
Dorkik: "Oh! Let me start with Chade! Judging from his blood, internal and external secretions, somatic cells in his body, and surname cells, there is no variation. There is nothing abnormal in the sweat and urine of the excrement, but it can be seen from the fecal excrement that his absorption is not very good. We compared the composition of the food before ingestion with the excrement he excreted. We calculated that about 87 percent of his ingredients were completely eliminated from the body. In my opinion, it takes a process of adaptation to absorb food ingredients, right? For example, when I drink milk, I have a stomach problem at the beginning, but after drinking it for a long time, I will get better and get used to it, and he will have to have a process of adapting to completely different foods.
You may be a little skeptical! We came from a completely different environment, why didn't we have any adverse reactions? In fact, it starts with the most basic ingredient of food - genes.
We've been here for a few months since we first arrived, right? From the analysis and research of a large number of local plant and animal specimens collected in the past few months, we have determined that the genes of these plants and animals are similar to those of our earth's organisms. You may wonder how the genetic composition of two planets separated by tens of thousands of light-years can be similar? You can't go wrong! Actually, you don't have to think wrong, let alone strange, because we have now confirmed a hypothesis of some earthlings a thousand years ago, which is that the earliest origin of life on Earth came from microorganisms or bacteria carried by outer space. And now, in the 'lucky' here and now, we know through comparison that there are indeed many genetically similar surnames between the creatures on the earth and the 'lucky', so the speculation that this earliest life came from outer space can be proven. In other words, the origin of life on our two planets comes from the entire galaxy, because we are also part of the galaxy! ”
Chad: "Can you be specific, don't mention any speculation or anything like that?" ”
"Good! I won't go around the bush with you.
In fact, it is said that the genes carried by countless microorganisms or bacteria in space are planted on the earth and the other on the 'lucky', and in these two completely different environments, they also bear their own biological fruits. ”
Chad: "Does this prove that the origin of life came from outer space?" ”
Wen He answered, "I know. Scholars on the earth believed that the life of the earth was first brought to the earth by meteorites or comets carrying organic matter from space after they hit the earth and gradually evolved and developed. Hehe! It's a long sentence, and I can't even catch it. Space! Isn't our Earth and 'lucky' to have a space -- the space of the Milky Way! In fact, the biological origin of 'lucky' is also derived from the gradual evolution of meteorites or comets carrying organic matter that fell from space. ”
Chad: "Doesn't that mean that our earliest ancestors all came from the same place?" ”
Dorkik nodded: "Think so. We used to just speculate, but now, we are here to take these alien creatures and conduct on-the-spot analysis, what we see with our eyes and what we touch in our hands are all them, which further confirms the theory that the life forms of the planet originated from outer space at the earliest.
I've always held this point of view, and now I'm able to experience it myself, not to mention how excited I am. I remember when I first started analyzing those animals and plants, as soon as the results came out, some scientists, you don't know, let alone how excited and carried away. One moment it's called to look at the cell tissue under the electron microscope, and the other is called to the monitor to look at the gene base pairs. In short, they look like one that is indescribable - as ridiculous and cute as a child of a few years old when he sees a new toy. ”
Wen He smiled: "Scientist! It's not all like that, I see you! He didn't look like an adult at the time. ”
Dorkik laughed like a fool: "At that time, you asked me to say my wife's name, I probably can't even remember it." ”
Chade: "From the study of genes, can we see whether we appeared first or Huoman appeared first?" ”
Wen He: "What do you think?" ”
Chad: "My opinion is that we came first. You see, if we divide our earth according to the social form, they are still in the early stages of primitive society, right? ”
Dorkik and Wenhe looked at him noncommittally, and Fireman listened silently.
Chad continued: "What period we are! It's already the age of science, it's the age of space. According to this reasoning, it is only right that the human beings of our earth appear first. ”
Wen He: "Not necessarily, there is no inevitable causal relationship between the speed and slowness of scientific development and the social form. It cannot be said that the development that appears early is fast, the degree of science is high, and the development that appears later is slow, and the degree of science is low. ”
Dokik continued: "From genetic analysis," Dokik pointed to Fireman, "They have been around for at least 50 million years." ”
Chad pointed at Fireman: "You mean they're 50 million years old?" ”
Dorkik: "At least. More samples can be analyzed and more time can be further determined. ”
Chade: "It's been 50 million years and it's still a primitive society, and this development is too slow!" ”
Wen He: "The universe is so big, there are so many planets, even if there are living organisms for billions of years, and there are only lower organisms on the planets, so it can be said that there are many, many more. Isn't it only a few hundred thousand years since the emergence of human beings on our earth? Wasn't it true that three to five thousand years ago we were in a primitive society? Isn't it just over a thousand years since we began to enter the period of science? To say that we have developed so fast is the inevitable result of our development to a certain period of time, and at the same time, it is also the result of our own internal factors. In other words, the development of life does not necessarily follow a specific speed and law, there is a regression, and there are even some life forms that die out before they have developed much. You are like the age of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, didn't those dinosaurs cause most of their extinction because of the sudden change in the environment! If that catastrophe had been even more severe, perhaps life on Earth would have to evolve again from organic molecules to single cells to multiple cells. ”
Chade: "I still don't understand, you see, judging from Huoman's words and deeds, does he seem to be a stupid kind of person?" ”
Huo Man was reluctant: "Am I stupid? ”
Chade smiled and said to Huo Man: "You are very smart, you can do it!" You haven't dealt with anyone else in their tribe, but I've experienced it firsthand. They! I don't even want to say it, I'm afraid it won't sound good when I say it, I can say stupid, stupid, stupid. You teach those children language knowledge like me, they are children, their memory, their comprehension! Oh! Their comprehension is not yet available, let's talk about memory! I just taught, and when I turn around, they forget about it, is there something wrong with my teaching method? You can't remember anything! It's as if their minds are empty, but they can't hold anything. ”
When Huoman heard that his brothers were reluctant again, "You are wise, but everyone else is stupid." ”
Chade turned his head to Huoman: "Aren't you the one I brought out!" How did you learn so well! ”
Huoman: "I, I taught myself. ”
Chad: "Didn't I teach you, I guided you, can you have now?" ”
Huoman didn't answer.
Chad: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Both Dorkik and Wenhe fell silent.
Dokik replied slowly, "Then he, he might be an anomaly." ”
"Alien?"
Dorkik: "There may have been a genetic mutation in him, that is, a genetic mutation may have occurred at the time of his brain development. ”
Wen He received: "This is nothing unusual. The sudden appearance of human beings on our earth, such as the increase in the size of the brain when walking upright, has long been suggested by scientists that the changes in our body and intelligence may be caused by genetic mutations. ”
Dokick pointed to Fireman: "If we could take more samples from them for comparison, we might know why." ”
The huge propeller of the collector cuts through the air with a deafening screech, and the turbulent air flow accompanies the flow of the wind, causing the entire fuselage to jolt and shake in sometimes small and sometimes large waves. Zhao Li and the other five people were on their way to a second base to be built 400 kilometers away from the eastern sea. There were two people who kept their heads down and closed their eyes because of the severe motion sickness, and Zhaoli was still looking at the slowly flowing scenery outside the window.
Under Wen He's arrangement, the four groups of their logging were reorganized, two groups continued to cut trees, and the two groups went to the second base to carry out deep processing of the trees that had been transported, so as to facilitate the construction and installation of the constant temperature shed in the next step.
The sparse yellow clouds illuminated by the sun, because of the limited brightness of the sunlight, when illuminated in the middle thick part, the poor light transmission makes it noticeably darker.
The collector didn't fly very high, because the clouds were still floating above the old high of the aircraft. Stretching out your head to look down at the sea, the waves show their sparkling wind and valleys under the oblique sunlight of the morning sun. Looking farther east, the surface of the sea reflects the light of the sun, from near to far, first fluttering and deforming fragments, and then converging into a large expanse of bright yellow, the blue of which has been replaced by bright yellow. Below the surface of the water, continental shelves of different sizes and colors can be seen at different times when they are sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and occasionally you can see strange shapes, with islands covered with vegetation breaking through the water and standing on the sea. The waves that beat the water around the island are like a man's scarf, but the scarf is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow.
After more than two hours of flight, a large island was gradually drawn closer from the sea under the clouds. Roughly speaking, this is an island that is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and slightly longer in shape from northeast to southwest. The cone-shaped extinct volcano on the northwest side of the island protrudes from the flat land to the southeast, with the highest summit approaching the clouds, and the flat ground not much above sea level. Most of the mountains down the mountain are covered with snow. Near the top of the snow-capped mountain, the circular crater does not close, but has a huge opening in the southeast, which extends down to the middle of the plain, which is a slope formed by the solidification of volcanic lava as it flows downward. On the slope below the snow line, there was a small river that rushed and blew down the slope to the plain, and the river diverted on the plain with some branches, one of which extended into the southeast sea, and one of which turned southwest and flowed to the southwest into the sea. I don't know when the eruption stopped, and some vegetation has grown sparsely below the snow line, while the vegetation that extends into the plains is denser, but it is also east and west. In the center of the plains, there is a clearing showing bare ground, and some buildings are already under construction. This is the second base of 130 square kilometers that Ivan and they picked out. Thanks to the fertile soil of volcanic ash, the vegetation has begun to grow, and it is certainly an excellent place to produce food. Zhaoli thought to himself: These guys are worthy of being scientists, and they have spent months researching and considering it again and again, and finally they really picked a good place.
Walking down the collector, Zhao Li and a few people looked around, only to see that not far from the small river flowing in the southwest direction, there were already people digging an east-west ditch, and further east, some people were disappearing between engineering materials. "Let's go find Lao Yi," Zhao Li said, already walking towards the crowd in the engineering materials room. He looked down at the ground on the way, and from time to time he tossed with his feet, only to see black earth and some black particles in the period instead of hard volcanic lava, which seemed to have been weathered.
Sure enough, Ivan was in this crowd.
He took a map and pointed at it: "The barrage is built here, the river is raised, and an aqueduct is dug next to the dam, and a sluice gate is built on it, and the canal leads the water to the thermostatic sheds." The location of this dam is very important, and we have to think that we will expand the scale of production in the future, so we should choose a little farther, the ground is higher, but the aqueduct will have to be dug longer. Think about how many people you need and how much time you need.
Here, I think it's better to build the power plant here, far away from the dam, so that it won't be flooded in case of a big flood. Of course, when it was built, the foundation of the entire power plant had to be raised, and I think it would have to be at least three meters above the ground. Also, it would be safer to build a high dam in the direction of the river to hold back the floodwater.
Cement plant! Let's put it here for now, it's a temporary one anyway. He patted Ta Ming on the shoulder: "Old Tower, using you, a zoologist, to make construction drawings is indeed a little difficult for you, no way, we don't have this kind of talent." But it's good that you've drawn it like this. ”
Zhao Li saw that Ivan seemed to have finished speaking, and he could interject.
Zhaoli smiled: "Lao Yi, we came to report, what work to arrange, you can speak." ”
Ivan turned around and looked: "Oh! Well, you see, these jobs, which ones are suitable for you? As he spoke, he pointed to a few places: "Divide it among yourselves." Over there, the foundations have to be dug, the timber has to be processed there, and the cement has to be made over there. ”
Zhao Li looked at the few people around him: "There are just two people in each item, I'll go and deal with the wood, I'm still familiar with this." ”
Sibo: "I'm going to work with wood, too. The other four also chose their own jobs.
Among the piles of logs and semi-finished timber being processed, Khalaili and a few people were using an electric planer to treat the surface of the square wooden strips that had been formed, and the cutter on the planer in his hand made a long, dull sound, and countless shavings flew out of the gouging edge, and after the shavings flew away, the planer also left, and the surface of the wood square that was rough just now became smooth. Zhao Li knew that these things were dangerous tools, and he stood a few steps away from Helary: "Our biologist is not simple, so capable. ”
Helali stopped and walked up to Zhaoli and smiled: "There are too few people and I am forced to be helpless!" However, this also forced us to a new craft. The day you got married, you were going to hit the furniture, and you had to say something. ”
Zhao Li smiled: "You want me to commit bigamy!" ”
Helary looked into the distance, and the sadness in his eyes flashed: "Do we have a law here?" The laws of the earth can't control here, and if you have the ability, it's okay if you marry a hundred. Zhao Li knew that he was a pun, alluding to Jiana's innocent death, and he didn't want to continue on the topic.
Zhao Li: "Is it okay to ask you to make furniture when my daughter gets married?" ”
Khalaili withdrew his eyes: "Call me then." ”
"You're a scientist, aren't you scolded for your master? Let's do you a favor first! Why did you arrange for me and Sibo? ”
It was dark and I couldn't see the work in my hands clearly, until I heard a voice: "Eat!" "People just call it a day, wash up, eat, and then rest.
Zhao Li unconsciously walked towards Ivan's tent, the tent door curtain was opened, and the light in the tent shone out the door, Ivan carried the light on his back, swayed and swayed, and when he got closer, it was Ivan washing dishes at the door.
Zhao Li: "Just finished eating?" ”
Ivan smiled: "I haven't eaten yet." ”
Zhaoli stood and watched Ivan wash the dishes: "Didn't eat?" Why didn't you wash it last time? ”
"Washing dishes, I don't have that habit!"
Zhao Li joked: "That's good! The nutrition at the bottom of the bowl can also be left in the stomach, but the old gentleman is setting an example for our savings, hehe! It seems that you don't need a wife to cope. ”
Ivan only smiled, as if he was joking with himself: "It will only be necessary every few days, and every time I am happy for a few minutes, there is no difference between having a wife and not having a wife!" This ridicule was actually added even by Zhaoli.
Zhaoli didn't want to side with him: "I'm not the same as you" Before the words could continue, Ivan continued: "It's different? It's just that you're younger, and you can keep singing for a few more minutes. ”
"We have a lot of shows."
Ivan's disdainful expression: "Don't you just tell a story!" Are you now telling each other stories again? ”
Zhaoli pretended to be proud: "This is **, I won't teach you this old gentleman, don't beg me, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't be able to stand you, and you will have to take medicine if you don't get it." Look at you so thin, if you take medicine again, you will be ruined, you"
Ivan smiled and didn't show weakness: "If you learn to be like a film, you will be hollowed out if you take medicine or not, if you don't believe it, we'll see." ”
Another voice rang out: "Hey! Ay! I said, two old guys, it's not a short time for you to scold each other at the door. I couldn't help but listen to it for a long time. ”
The two kept talking, and when they turned around, they saw a dark shadow with the light on their backs. Both of them didn't look very good, and after looking at it for a while, they were sure that it was Ta Ming.
Ivan smiled: "You kid is silent, and you learned a lot from the two old guys for free today, right?" ”
Zhao Li smiled: "You are old, I am not old." ”
Hearing the laughter with the light on his back, at the same time, he could only see Ta Ming's facial muscles driving the skin to move rapidly: "The shortcomings have been exposed and I am still proud, I really admire you, I can't stand the admiration." ”
Ivan pointed at Tamin: "The kid opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he didn't admit it after learning in vain." ”
Ta Ming: "Just talk but don't practice!" Compare it in front of our whole base that day? I'm going to sign up as a judge now, hehe! ”
Zhao Li: "You're beautiful." ”
Ta Ming pretended to be serious: "If I am the chairman, I will be rated according to the persistence time, the color and pattern, and the feelings of both men and women." After he finished speaking, the three of them couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
