"Jiang Ping, so many people are working, what are you doing, I think you need to give me a reasonable explanation!"

Jiang Ping was looking down at the soil on the ground, when he heard someone in his ear asking him loudly, and when he looked back, he saw Daniel standing next to him with a gloomy face, looking very unkind.

He grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, stood up, handed it to the other party, and said, "Sergeant Daniel, you might as well look at this soil." ”

Daniel didn't look at it, shook his hand and knocked the dirt on the other party's hand away, and said in a deep voice: "Don't play any tricks with me, I don't have time to talk to you too much, go to the disciplinary department to accept punishment by yourself, lazy during working hours, I saw it with my own eyes, don't you want to quibble anymore!" ”

Jiang Ping smiled coldly and said, "Sergeant Daniel, I know that I said in public that you are not worthy of being the captain, and you have always had opinions about me in your heart, so you are indiscriminate and want to find fault with me, but I will not admit the accusations you said against me." ”

Daniel, like a cat with its tail stepped on, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "What, I'm indiscriminate, I want to find fault with you? That's nonsense! Okay, then you explain to me, everyone is working, what were you doing here just now, you won't say that you are also working, I obviously see that you are playing with mud! ”

Jiang Ping was speechless and said, "Playing with mud? It's a shame that you think about it, I'm looking at this soil problem! ”

"Qubble, you're quibbling! I can't see what's wrong with this soil. Do you think you want to fool me and get by? This is ridiculously naïve. Daniel said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ping pointed to the ground around him and said solemnly, "Sergeant Daniel, I don't mean to joke with you. If you take a closer look at the soil on this ground, don't you think there's something wrong with the color of the soil here? ”

Daniel subconsciously looked down at the soil beneath his feet. The soil on the ground looked no different from ordinary silicate soil, but there was a layer of gray pale blue on the surface, like a ghost in the dark night, emitting a faint light.

The soil was indeed a bit strange, it turned out to be light blue, and at first he thought it was just some bryophytes growing on it, but now that he looked closely, it didn't seem to be the case.

Thinking of the light blue solution in the test tube he had just seen in Catherine's chemical analysis room, he knew that the other party might not be talking nonsense, and that there might be something strange about this soil, otherwise what would Catherine do with this soil solemnly?

Despite this, he refused to admit defeat and insisted on: "So what, the soil is a little colored, what's so strange." This is Wang Hengxing, not the moon, this is not a big problem at all, I think you are purely using this as a pretext for you to be lazy! ”

Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "Sergeant Daniel, please stop messing around, my words are serious." We have come to this Wang Hengxing expedition, and we cannot let go of any suspicious situation, and I suggest that the chemical laboratory immediately conduct a detailed chemical analysis of the soil here to analyze their specific chemical composition, which I think is very necessary. ”

"To tell you the truth, I've just gone out and walked around and found that this is not just the case with this piece of soil, but from all the other places I've been. I suspect it's not an isolated phenomenon, and if the soil here is like this, then this pale blue soil is worth studying. ”

Daniel listened, as if he had caught a handle from the other party, and shouted: "What, no wonder I turned around a lot just now, and I couldn't find you, it turns out that you actually went out, without my order, you dare to go to the base without permission, you are unorganized, undisciplined, I will punish you!" ”…,

Jiang Ping sneered and said: "Sergeant Daniel, I want to tell you that I am an expedition volunteer, not a soldier under you, you must be clear about this, I have the right to carry out my expedition, this is my right, you have no right to interfere!" ”

Daniel was furious, and the other party repeatedly challenged his authority as the captain, making him unbearable.

"What happened?" At this moment, a voice rang out, and a figure walked towards this side, it was the team's vice-captain, Sergeant Robinson.

Without waiting for Daniel to speak, Jiang Ping preemptively said what had just happened briefly, and then said: "Sergeant Robinson, this is the way it is, I suggest that we should pay enough attention to organize people to conduct a careful laboratory analysis of this light blue soil to see if these soils are dangerous to humans." ”

Daniel sneered on the side: "It's completely unreasonable, you are making excuses for your laziness, and you went to the base without authorization, and you are lawless, I will immediately let the disciplinary department give you a punishment." ”

Robinson pondered for a moment and said, "Daniel, Corporal Jiang Ping's suspicion of this soil is legitimate, and we have no right to interfere, although we don't know if Lu Dao's suspicion is correct. However, Jiang Ping, you did not get permission to go to the base without permission, which is indeed a violation of discipline, which is not allowed. ”

Jiang Ping snorted coldly and was about to speak, when he heard a crisp voice coming over, and said, "The test results are out, and the light blue component in the soil is a microorganism." ”

When the three of them heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw a beautiful blonde woman with a hot body walking towards the three of them, it was Catherine, the chief chemical analyst in the team.

Daniel smiled when he heard this, and said, "I see, I have known for a long time that Lu Dao would be like this, just a microorganism." Sergeant Catherine, you don't know what to say, in the mouth of this kid just now, people think that this is a virus that can exterminate humanity. ”

Robinson asked cautiously, "Sergeant Catherine, are you sure that the light blue component in this soil is just a microorganism?" Are they aggressive or contagious, and are you sure they are not a virus? ”

Catherine glanced at the other party, as if she was very dissatisfied with the other party's suspicion of herself, and said coquettishly: "Is it a microorganism or a virus, don't I know." The results of chemical analysis just now show that the structure of this microbial is very simple, the DNA chain is very gentle, and there is no self-replication and propagation characteristic of the virus at all. Preliminary results show that the microorganism is harmless to humans......"

"Sergeant Catherine, please don't come to your conclusion so early." It was Jiang Ping who interrupted her words, only to see him pause, and continued, "I went around a big circle just now, and the soil I saw was all with this light blue, and I also scanned it with a spectral fluoroscopy, at least within a radius of tens of miles, the existence of this light blue can be seen. It can be seen that this microorganism is not simple, at least its life reproduction is very strong. So Sergeant Catherine, you'd better analyze it more carefully and don't jump to conclusions so early. ”

Catherine glanced at the other party and said disapprerovingly: "Corporal Jiang Ping, your skeptical spirit is precious, but in the face of accurate scientific analysis data, any suspicion is ridiculous. Now the evidence is conclusive, it's just a very simple mild-tempered microorganism, not some terrible flood beast you might imagine. ”

Ignoring the ridicule in the other party's words, Jiang Ping asked: "Then let me ask Sergeant Catherine, have you understood all the biological characteristics of this microorganism, how it reproduces, how long its life cycle is, whether it has the exchange of substances with its kind, how they react to various external stimuli, and whether they will mutate in a long-term abnormal environment?" You're only testing the soil in this place, and the soil in other places, is it different? Are you all aware of this? ”…,

Jiang Ping's series of questions made Catherine's face turn red suddenly, and she was speechless for a while, because she couldn't give a positive answer to the other party's questioning.

After a long time, she replied, looked at the other party deeply, and said, "Okay, Corporal Jiang Ping, I accept your opinions, and I will study them again." ”

In fact, if it is a microorganism on the earth, the experiment she just did can be completely determined. But it suddenly occurred to her that this was not the Earth, but an alien planet 30,000 light-years away from the solar system, and everything here was unknown, and any caution could not be overestimated, and the conclusion she had just made was indeed too early.

Seeing that the other party accepted his opinion and his goal was achieved, Jiang Ping didn't say anything more. Daniel originally wanted to take this opportunity to give the other party a punishment, but now it seems that he can only lose it.

Catherine smiled and said, "Jiang Ping, can I ask you for a favor." You just asked if the soil in other places will be different, and this is really something that should be considered. So I'd like to ask you to help me collect the different soils around me so that I can do a comprehensive chemical analysis of this microorganism. ”

As an archaeology major, Jiang Ping didn't have a full-time job in the base at the moment, and the other party's request was also within his power, so he didn't think much about it, and quickly nodded and agreed, and said, "Of course you can, I'm glad to help you, I can go now." In order to be able to go farther, I would like the base to assign me an armored vehicle if allowed. ”

After that, his eyes turned to Daniel and Robinson on the side, and the distribution of materials at the base, including the distribution of armored vehicles, required the consent of their two captains and vice-captains.

Without waiting for Daniel to speak, Robinson immediately shook his head and vetoed, and said solemnly: "No, without the permission of the base, no one in the base can go out without permission!" ”

Catherine on the side was unhappy and objected: "What is this for, Robinson, you don't have such a right, we are expedition volunteers, we have the right to explore!" ”

Robinson's face was still serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I did this for a reason. Smith reported to me that on their way back, they were attacked by some alien plants! These alien plants are very aggressive, and they finally relied on the flamethrower to drive all the way to force these alien plants back to the base. ”

Alien Plant Attack!

The three of them were taken aback when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect that Smith and his party, who had returned to the base just now, would have such a thrilling experience.

Daniel was shocked, and a wave of anger swelled up in his heart. Just now he saw Smith and them in front of the base gate and scolded the other party, but the other party kept silent about the attack on alien plants, and did not reveal any news to him, but now he ran to tell Robinson, what does this mean, this shows that he didn't take him as the captain in his eyes at all!

"Smith, bastard! For such an important matter, he didn't even tell me, I was going to peel his skin! Daniel cursed angrily and uncontrollably.
