Chapter 173: Maruko

Mike then connected the safety band to a fully charged computer on a long black wooden table, cabled it out, and extended its front end to the electron microscope stage, which was already connected to the power supply.

Joseph turned on the computer and operated two projection interfaces, one is the display interface of the electron microscope and the other is the operation interface of the safety hoop.

Then, Joseph said in Chinese: "Computer, operate the safety hoop, let it extend the probe." Operate the microscope and let it automatically recognize objects on the stage. ”

The display of the electron microscope immediately appeared two long, thin needles like the vertebrae of a snake, slowly oscillating like earthworms.

Mike then said, "Available." ”

Joseph said, "Okay, let's start now." ”

When Mike heard this, he pulled the safety hoop away from the stage of the electron microscope and extended it sideways over the delicately crafted, half-meter-tall brown birdcage made of dense rattan braided on the side.

Joseph said, "Did you get it?" ”

Mike said, "That's it." ”

Joseph said: "The computer, which manipulates the probe of the safety hoop, looks for the brain of the invisible octopus. ”

A few seconds later, the computer's loudspeaker also said in Chinese: "Report, no brain was found, according to detection, it should have poked excrement and other substances." ”

Mike tilted his head to look at Joseph and said, "No, is this guy doing a handstand?" ”

With that, Mike pulled out the safety hoop, pulled open a fist-sized feeding latch on the birdcage, opened the opening, and reached into it with his right hand.

After touching it, Mike pulled his hand out, wiped it on his body, and said, "It's a cucumber-like head on it." ”

Joseph said: "Whoever says that the head must be on it, not all animals on earth are like this." ”

Mike nodded, closing the feeding mouth and saying, "Makes sense." ”

Then Mike picked up the safety band again and reached under the birdcage.

After a few seconds, Mike said, "I poked it." ”

Joseph said, "Computer, continue to let the probe look for the brain." ”

Soon, the computer's speaker said: "Found it, according to the detection, there are three cubic centimeters in size." ”

"Pierce, search and transmit its brain waves in real time," Joseph said. ”

After more than two seconds, the computer said, "It's OK." ”

Joseph said, "IQ. ”

The computer said, "The IQ is 30." ”

Joseph said, "Perspective. ”

Immediately, one of the projections floating on the table showed a view of the inside of the cage. ”

I saw that the image was shaking from side to side, and it seemed to alternately observe Joseph and Mike.

At this point, Mike said, "Computer, is it scared?" ”

The computer said: "The fear level hovers between 80 and 90. ”

Joseph said, "The computer, what is it thinking about now?" ”

The computer said: "These two creatures with delicious excrement, what are the big black guys trying to do with them, and when will they be able to eat their excrement." ”

Joseph rubbed his forehead and said, "Computer, does it have language, what is a language organ?" ”

"There are simple communication mechanisms for expressing cognition and communicating through changes in hormone secretion," the computer said. ”

Mike said, "Computers, how far is that communication. ”

The computer said: "Fifty meters to one hundred meters, depending on its physical strength and activity." ”

Joseph said: "Immediately modify and generate a new set of invisible octopus souls, retain its original memory, and increase its IQ to 80, understand Chinese, be absolutely obedient to me, and obey the command of Mike and Sahu, and then replace its original memory." ”

The computer said: "Its cerebral cortex has a special structure, and the expansion capacity cannot reach 80, but only about 75. ”

Mike said, "75 is 75, and an obedient fool is a hundred times stronger than a clever traitor." ”

Joseph turned his head to look at Mike and said, "Computer, 75 is fine, let's operate it." ”

After more than ten seconds, the computer said, "Done." ”

Joseph said to the octopus, "Do you know who I am? ”

After a while, the projection showed a cage view of Joseph, and at the same time, the computer said: "The invisible octopus tells you in the form of hormone secretion that it knows you, and you are the all-knowing Joseph the Great." ”

Mike said, "Hahaha, it worked! I suggest that this little octopus be connected to the computer's sounding system so that it can chat with us. ”

"It is really needed to go up and give our orders, if we can control more invisible octopuses in the future," Joseph said. The computer, directly convert its communication content into Chinese, let it communicate with us. ”

Mike said, "Give it a name." ”

Joseph said, "Maruko? ”

Mike said, "Octopus balls? Haha, I think it's good. ”

The computer changed to a childlike voice and said, "Maruko." ”

Joseph said: "Yes, you will be called Maruko in the future, and you will be the boss of the Invisible Octopus Group from now on." ”

Maruko said, "Okay, I will be their boss in the future, and I will take them to listen to the words of Joseph the Great." ”

Mike said, "Hey, that's interesting. ”

Joseph said: "Rare and strange, I have done this kind of experiment with David countless times on Earth before I finally chose the marmoset species. ”

Mike said, "I'm not a student of biology... Boss, are we going to release the little balls now? ”

Joseph said, "No, I'm afraid that Brain Axe and Captain Black will be suspicious. ”

Mike said, "Next, we're going to start modifying their souls. ”

Joseph said, "Okay, let's start with the Brain Axe, then the Black Captain and the Senate, and then slowly increase the number depending on the situation. ”

Mike said, "Okay, by the way, Maruko, why are you so afraid of the Eden Tiger?" ”

Maruko said, "Is the Eden Tiger the one who was with you before?" ”

Mike said, "Yes. ”

Maruko said, "I don't know, we can't control them and eat their stool." ”

Joseph said, "Then how was the Eden Tiger able to catch you, aren't you invisible?" ”

Maruko said, "I don't know, they are our natural enemies anyway. ”

Joseph said, "Is the poop really that good? ”

Maruko said, "Yes, it doesn't taste good in your eyes, but we think it's delicious. ”

Mike said, "What do you eat when you don't have poop?" ”

Maruko said: "Drink water, we can survive by drinking water, but most of the time we have poop to eat." ”

Joseph said, "How many of you have?" ”

Maruko said, "I think about it, I don't know. ”
