Chapter 20: The Bet
There was no one else in the observation room, because the Thunder King suddenly woke up and didn't have time to set things up inside, except for the surrounding surveillance, there was nothing.
He turned his head, and when he saw that there was nothing to lean on, he could only sit on the ground and gasp for breath.
After discovering that he had not been killed, the intelligent life that looked like this in his memory was the greatest enemy of the Magnetographer, and almost the moment he saw them, the Thunder King remembered this iron law in his mind.
Fortunately, the surrender ceremony still worked, and the fact that he survived is the best proof.
After this break, more memories came to his mind, and at this point he had time to remember who he was and where he came from.
The escape pod was removed, which was to be expected, they wouldn't give themselves a chance to connect with civilization, and even if they did, he wouldn't do it.
It's not that he belittles the civilization that gave birth to him, but that the alien civilization can't compete with them at all, otherwise he wouldn't be in exile, and these are all memories in his mind like an imprint.
He could tell the difference between good and bad.
Sighing softly, he knew that someone must be staring at him at this time, and the strange thing was that he couldn't imagine that kind of picture, maybe it was the reason why the alien alien civilization had never done living experiments since the interstellar era.
The Thunder King's mind was blank in this scene, and he could only curl himself up through his instinctive reaction, so that he could get more psychological security.
Yan An observed him, in addition to the big difference in body size, I have to say that the heteromagnetic person still has a high degree of similarity with humans in all aspects.
The exposed skin was silver-gray, which made Yan An think of a lot of things that reflected a sense of luxury with this color, but he felt a little strange because of the creature in front of him.
If nothing else, the vertical wrinkles on his face that look like knives and axes can't make people feel high-end, no matter how you look at it.
The proportions of the head to the body appear to be the same as shown in the photo, the face does not have a nose bridge but has two nostrils, and the whole face looks extraordinarily flat, flatter than it appears in the photo.
The mouth is also different from that of humans, and the mouth of the Thunder King is vertical, and it is not known how the head structure grows. When the mouth is closed, it blends with the vertical folds on the face, and it is impossible to distinguish it without looking closely.
The proportions of limbs are quite normal, and they look similar to those of a one-meter-two child, but the legs are slightly shorter.
Wearing a thin-looking black full-body hazmat suit, it wasn't low-tech, but no researcher had taken it off.
At this time, the Thunder King sat without saying a word, which made Yan An glance at the vital body detection instrument worriedly.
His state is quite stable, but the temperature of the Thunder King is lower than that of humans, and I don't know if it is due to early recovery, or because the body temperature of the alien is low.
Looking at the other equipment, from the oxygen content of the observation room to the humidity of the air, there are special instruments to record the data, which is to record the adaptation of aliens to life in the blue dome.
In addition, even the monitoring room has a large number of monitoring and radio equipment, where everything is done and said will be recorded.
In this case, it is impossible to use the Mingxing language to pretend to be a ghost to the Thunder King, and it is difficult to collect enough information on the Thunder King according to the regular method.
Seeing him frowning and thinking, Xu Wei couldn't help but say a few words, "How is it?" Did the genius think of a way? Speak up and let us all hear if you have any ideas for learning his language in fifteen days, or for him to learn ours. ”
"Learning each other's language is impossible in fifteen days."
Even if a full-day language collection system is established, it is impossible to complete this task, and the Thunder King will not cooperate with them to speak all day long, and the language materials collected in half a month are limited, and it is difficult to sort out and parse a complete set of heteromagnetic languages.
Doing so is bound to lead to failure.
"If I were you, I would definitely go home and ask my grandfather, maybe they have their own way." Xu Wei made a few mistakes, and almost decided in his heart that Yan An was the descendant of the retired director of the Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilization.
Joining the research in this way, which is separate from the Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilizations, is equivalent to two different units supporting each other, and I have to say that this is an excellent way.
It's a pity that they have been away from technical research for too long and too far to take the flag in their hands.
"But......" Yan An couldn't understand his words, but this didn't prevent him from thinking differently.
This task does not necessarily have to be done through verbal or written communication.
In addition to language and writing, there is another more direct and efficient way of communication, but this way is difficult to evolve by natural organisms, so language and writing were invented as a communication method with a second level of efficiency.
"But what?" Xu Wei frowned, Yan An's pretentious behavior made him very unhappy.
"Nothing. I'm just curious about what I'll get if I succeed in completing the mission. ”
"You want a reward?" Xu Wei snorted heavily.
"Completing the task is your job, and the research results are the best reward, how can you not even understand the spirit of dedication at a young age, and you want to be rewarded all day long, how can you sink down to do research.
Young people, don't always think about what research can bring you, but also think about what dedication you have made to research. ”
In short, it is a sentence, if you want to reward it, you should know how to be grateful if you can give you a chance, and then you want to reward it is a little bit unlucky.
"That's boring, this is an extremely difficult subject after all, if I produce results, it will be much faster than you grinders, as the first person to complete the research, if you don't even have a reward, it will make people lose their motivation to struggle."
Yan An shrugged his shoulders and said in a heartfelt manner, if the results can only be exchanged for the next fifteen days, it will inevitably be too boring.
Maybe the next research project will continue to be targeted, if that is the case, the next fifteen-day research opportunity will be a chicken rib for him, it is better to just leave, so that he doesn't have to deal with these people here.
Xu Wei looked at him, it was not easy to do research on the reverse thrust technology of finished products, and Yan An actually described them as foreign grinders, which was simply a mockery of their work.
When he spoke again, the smell of gunpowder was already much thicker, "Then tell me what reward you want." ”
"Hmm...... The next research project is up to me to specify. Yan An originally wanted to directly ask for the dominance of the extraterrestrial civilization research project, but after thinking that Xu Wei could not agree, he gave up.
"Good! But what if you don't produce results? ”
"Shall I go?"
"There are rewards for winning, and you don't have to bear anything if you lose, and your wishful thinking is too good."
This is no longer Yan An's first reward for producing results, but a bet between Xu Wei and Yan An, compared with the reward, there is no result, Yan An will inevitably leave, this cannot be counted as a punishment at all, but it is just something that should have happened.
Yan An thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Is that to make me apologize to you?" I can apologize to you publicly. ”
"No need, I'm a person with a small belly and chicken intestines who cares about you as a junior." Xu Wei hurriedly denied it, if it was known that he was scheming with a young man in his early twenties, it would become a joke if it was spread.
However, Yan An's words reminded him that for this kind of young man, there is nothing better than frustrating his sharpness in person.
Xu Wei's mind turned and he immediately thought of a punishment, "That's it, since you have disrupted the research progress of all of us."
Then before you leave, make a review report and read it out in front of everyone when the meeting begins. Let us know that you still feel guilty about bothering with your research.
Even if you don't feel much guilt, as long as you review it carefully, everyone will forgive you after listening to it. ”
Actually, there is no difference, except that the object of the apology has been changed from him to all the researchers, and the reason has been changed from offending him to disturbing all the researchers.
Xu Wei looked like he was not doing personal things at all.
"That's it." Yan An doesn't care, who to apologize to is not an apology, Xu Wei just wants to maintain his image, and he doesn't bother to care about this.
After it was confirmed, Yan An no longer stayed here and chose to leave directly, and at this moment, another group of people poured into the monitoring room.
They will be in charge of observing and recording the state of life of the Thunder King, who has just recovered, and it is an important moment to fully record the changes in his state.
Xu Wei's voice caught up far behind him, "I'll take half a month to write a review for you, but don't fool things up in the end." ”
