Every day is one step closer to reality

After receiving the news, Pan Weining mentioned to himself that what he cared about was not whether the club could buy it, but the content of the message sent by his uncle.

Too much information!

Although I have long heard from the elders in the family that my uncle has a lot of ideas, and he has a lot of ideas very quickly, maybe one idea a day. But this time it was less than a day. I had an idea in the morning and changed it again in the afternoon!

What kind of stimulation was this? !

How much stimulation is required to cause such a change? !

Not knowing where it was not convenient for him to answer the phone, Pan Weining directly sent a text message to ask.

But Uncle Wei didn't reveal much.

Pan Weining could tell from his uncle's text message that Uncle Wei was in a good mood and very energetic, not as if he had been shocked.

Pan Weining felt relieved when he learned that the rat tide there had passed and the vehicles on the road were on their way again.

Later, Pan Weining re-read the messages sent by his uncle today. He suspected that his change of mind was related to the rat tide.

He had limited information about rat tides, and there were discussions on the Internet, some of which were well-founded and some of which were pure nonsense.

After reading the discussions on the Internet for a while, Pan Weining went directly to ask Feng Yi.

After all, he is an expert from the Federal Security Bureau, so he always has some channels for information.

"Feng Yi, I want to ask you something. The section of road my uncle passed today has a swarm of rats. Do you know the reason? Or have you heard an explanation from an authoritative expert?"

After the abnormal climate period, with the multi-pronged containment measures, although rat tides still exist, the frequency is much reduced. There must be a reason for every occurrence.

Feng Yi did see one of the expert groups discussing this matter.

"It's still under investigation, but I read discussions among several experts. It may be that continuous droughts caused rats to migrate to major food-producing areas. Then climate changes and sudden heavy rainfall caused rats that were originally scattered everywhere to gather.

"With water and food, there is no shortage of food and drink, and the desire of rats to reproduce has increased, which has resulted in this large-scale rat tide."

In terms of climate, small fluctuations in the past two years have long been predicted. It was mentioned in meetings of various departments last year and was emphasized many times at the beginning of this year.

Prevent rat clusters and take precautions. Although it may not be completely preventable, it can certainly be controlled within a certain range.

The current situation is much worse than expected, which shows that someone has neglected their duties. Following the investigation, a group of people will definitely be punished.

"In general, it is still within control and can be dealt with within two days."

Pan Weining also knew what Feng Yi said. Many rat tides in the past had similar causes.

Looking at it this way, there’s nothing special about it.

So, what exactly changed my uncle’s mind?

the other side.

As the rat tide passed, the vehicles resumed their journey and continued to travel along their intended routes.

inside the car.

Uncle Wei is discussing with his lab partners.

There was no support for his new idea, but as an investor, Uncle Wei was firm and confident.

"I will invest in the development of rat poison!"

"...Didn't we agree to invest in reducing fibrinolysis, thrombolysis, and neuroprotection? Why do we need to study mice?"

"I changed my mind. Anyway, the contract hasn't been signed yet, so it doesn't count as a breach of contract. Are you going to study it?!"

"No, Old Wei..."

"If you do this project, I will double... double the investment!"

"...Old Wei, I didn't say I wouldn't do it! Establish the project! Establish the project immediately!"

The person on the other end of the phone was thinking: Isn’t it just rat poison? What a simple thing!

Even if you lose money, it’s the money owner’s fault!

Anyway, the additional funds are enough to upgrade the equipment in their laboratory!

Once the funding was agreed upon, both parties were satisfied.

The person on the phone said: "Since you have decided to do this, you have to recall carefully. From the time you get [Y] to the time you open the lid, all the temperature changes and environmental factors in the process must be detailed. Record. We first have to look at the effect of temperature changes on the active substances inside it, and see how much protein is denatured and renatured inside."

Anyone in their field knows that a slight change in temperature during the experiment may bring about completely different results.

"We have to find the key enzymes and functional substances that play a role in it, and we have to find it accurately! In case the functional substances inside change, please send [Y] to the company laboratory as soon as possible!"

Uncle Wei had the same idea: "I know, you guys should hurry up and prepare new projects."

Now, he can't care about anything else, everything is focused on this.

Uncle Wei recalled the scene he just experienced: "Sometimes I feel that there are more secrets hidden in [Y] than meteorites."

The person on the other end of the phone agreed: "Why else would so many people be addicted to it! When [Y] came out, it was called a 'global feast' by the industry! It's not just one region or one country, but the whole world! There are so many hidden things in it. With endless wealth!"

After the excitement, return to reality.

The other side said: "But, Old Wei, just one tube is definitely not enough."

Uncle Wei was in high spirits now and waved his hand: "You lead the team on this project first! I'll figure it out later!"

Over there: "Now the Ancestral Factory is gradually relaxing its restrictions on private enterprises and will release some purchase quotas. However, the quotas are limited each time and the competition is very high."

Uncle Wei: "I know, I will continue to submit the application there, and at the same time think about whether I can buy another tube through other channels."

Uncle Wei was glad. Fortunately, I can get some money back from selling the meteorite, otherwise I really can’t afford it!

The laboratory is too expensive!

Over there: "Be sure to pay attention to the refrigerated box next time you buy it!"

"You don't have to say that!"

Uncle Wei's eyes flashed with anger.

Those of them who have experienced abnormal climate periods are not soft-tempered.

The other side reminded: "When you are looking for a way out, you can secretly ask who bought [Y]. If it is not stored properly, or there is a large amount of material in it deactivated due to other reasons, you can also buy it back from us." try."

Uncle Wei nodded: "It makes sense. However, given how precious [Y] is now, this situation is extremely rare. Even if the ingredients inside change due to accidental reasons, those big teams will definitely let their students practice. They will not easily transfer it to others. .”

The other side said in despair: "Yes, there are too many secrets hidden in [Y]. No one knows whether the so-called 'deactivation' really loses all its effects. Maybe there is a balance in it. When some active substances fail When the time comes, other functional substances come into play."

Uncle Wei strongly agrees with this statement.

you do not say!

Just like this time, it was obvious that improper preservation caused many of the active substances to fail, but the reaction of the rats clearly told him that there was still something working inside!

If you had not experienced this before, [Y] might not have such an obvious effect of repelling rats!

"The Ancestral Factory is really a magical company. How on earth did they develop such a magical thing?"

Toga Town.

The world's only supplier of "gods" is playing with stones at this time.

Feng Yi and others came to a Gobi area near Tuojia Town.

The desert area is one of the most suitable areas in the world for finding meteorites. It is known as a natural dry box for preserving meteorites. Meteorite can often be preserved for a long time at the landing site.

The location where they are now is not a meteorite-rich area, but a check-in point for a well-known local internet celebrity.

Wen Zhiyu pointed to the darker stones on the ground and said to Feng Yi: "These stones here look like meteorites, but they are not. Most of them are imitations. I heard that this area used to be enclosed as a teaching area, and there were teachers who specialized in it. Teach people to identify which meteorites are real and which are fake. Now the teaching area is gone and it has become a local internet celebrity check-in point. People who come here to play here come here to pose for photos."

Feng Yi picked up a stone from the ground. For him, there is no difficulty in distinguishing, but if it is just a photo, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

"You can pick up any stones in this area?" Feng Yi asked.

"Pick it up casually, without an owner. Many tourists who come here to take pictures will pick up one or two pieces and take them back as souvenirs. Some people will continue to throw stones here anyway. This is one of the local places suitable for taking pictures. If there are not enough stones for decoration, We won’t be able to attract tourists in the future,” Wen Zhiyu said.

"Aren't you afraid that tourists will pick it up and sell it as real meteorites?" Feng Yi was curious.

"Maybe it's because the popularity of meteorites has dropped, the trading volume is small, the market has no splash, and the management is not strict. Do you want to pick up a few pieces and go back to play?" Wen Zhiyu asked.

"Pick it back and compare it with the real meteorite." Feng Yi said.

"Yes, comparison can enhance identification ability." Wen Zhiyu thinks so.

Feng Yi just smiled and didn't explain much.

The recognition ability does not need to be strengthened. What he wants to do is other comparative experiments.

Feng Yi picked three stones, with different sizes. The smallest one was about the size of an adult's fist, and the largest one was about the size of a football.

Seeing this, Wen Zhiyu asked, "Want to help?"

"No need." Feng Yi easily picked up the bag containing three stones.

Wen Zhiyu thought of the day at the paintball club when he was blown away by Feng Yi.

Come on, I don’t need help at all with my strength!

"Do you keep vigil at night to watch shooting stars? The sky here is quite suitable for stargazing." Wen Zhiyu asked.

Pan Weining was not interested in this. People like them who often ran outside saw meteors more often than the average person.

"Is this time supposed to be the Perseid meteor shower? It's not like we haven't seen it before. Besides, this year's peak period has passed, and you may not be able to see one even if you stay up all night."

Meteor showers named after constellations only refer to the direction, not to the celestial fragments emitted from those distant galaxies.

Periodic meteor showers are generally associated with comets.

Every time a comet gets closer to the sun, it moves along its orbit. Our planet orbits the sun and has a close intersection with the comet's orbit. Every time it passes near the comet's orbit, debris from the comet will enter the atmosphere and form a meteor shower.

For example, the familiar Halley's Comet. The parent comet of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower in May and the Orionid meteor shower in October is Halley's Comet.

In October, the earth moved near the orbit of Halley's Comet, and the "small garbage" scattered in the orbit by Halley's Comet broke into the atmosphere, forming this year's Orionid meteor shower.

The current point in time where Feng Yi and the others are at is the Perseid meteor shower. It’s just that many days have passed since the peak period.

Pan Weining is only interested in the extreme meteor showers. At other times, the flow is not large, and sometimes he can’t even get one for several days.

Of course Wen Zhiyu knew it, but he didn't care. He said with a smile: "The active period has not completely passed, and we will definitely still see the meteors of this meteor group. I won't just watch it by myself. I am going to set up a camera. This It’s good to have a machine to keep an eye on things like this. Hey, maybe you can take a surprise photo?!”

Pan Weining is more rational. He is not optimistic: "Even if the dust particle distribution structure of the parent comet is not clear, the maximum period has passed and it is almost out of the orbital area. There are not so many 'little garbage' falling, so it is better not to hug it at this time." Too much expectation.”

Wen Zhiyu looked disapproving: "What are you talking about as 'rubbish'! How can you call it rubbish! That's called a celestial body! Such a wonderful thing, you are so outrageous about it!"

As he spoke, Wen Zhiyu began to fantasize again: "Hey, it would be great if a meteor fell to the ground."

Pan Weining ruthlessly interrupted his fantasy: "That's why I said 'little garbage'. The meteor showers are all very small stars that burn to ashes in the atmosphere."

Wen Zhiyu's romantic feelings were aroused, and he knocked the two stones he picked up in his hand: "What if?! What if a meteor falls!"

Pan Weining looked up at the sky: "That's the meteor outside the group. It's not the Perseus you're staring at."

Wen Zhiyu threw the stone in his hand far away and watched it draw a parabola in the air and fall to the ground, "It will be a meteorite when it falls!"

Wen Zhiyu turned to look at Feng Yi, who had been silent until now: "Feng Yi, what do you think?"

Feng Yi...

Feng Yi felt a little guilty.

"Well, maybe. There are no absolutes in anything."

Wen Zhiyu laughed and patted Feng Yi on the shoulder. In fact, he himself knew what Pan Weining said, and he agreed with it intellectually.

However, people always fantasize about the one in ten thousand possibility that wonderful things will happen.

Several people returned to their residence from the Gobi area.

The sumptuous dinner that Uncle Wei ordered for them was the same as yesterday, except that there were three fewer people at the table today.

Still CD.

Wen Zhiyu thought it was because they consumed too much outside today that they ate so much food.

Pan Weining next to him smiled and said nothing.

Feng Yi also smiled, as if he agreed.

After the meal, everyone went about their own business.

Wen Zhiyu went to set up his camera, preparing to use the machine to take pictures of the sky all night.

Pan Weining spoke to his family.

And Feng Yi...

Sitting cross-legged on the carpet.

There were several stones in front of him.

There were two meteorites that contained energy materials, three ordinary meteorites, and three stones picked up in the Gobi today that were brought up from the underground warehouse.

These were the materials he used for his experiment tonight.

Feng Yi sat cross-legged for a while, feeling uncomfortable. It was comfortable to sit cross-legged without the original shape.

But it’s not in its own territory, so it can only maintain this mimicry.

Changed position again.

Pick up the meteorite containing energy material.

He had to first learn the skills of his ancestors in playing with meteorites, and then practice with other stones.

Recently, Zhang said that the display is abnormal and will recover in a few days.
