Chapter 681 The rooster that lays eggs

ˆ “.”

Although I feel a little sad about the money that the rabbits are about to lose.

 But after careful consideration, Li Jue and Lao Guo finally decided to accept Xu Yun's statement.

Although their vision is not as long-term as Xu Yun, a time traveler, they still have some basic judgments.

Now is indeed the best time for the Rabbits to recruit overseas talents. No international organization or organization in the world knows about the amazing progress of the Rabbits in the development of nuclear weapons.

At the same time, it’s just the opposite.

　　This approach of the Rabbits can easily be interpreted by the outside world, especially across the sea, as being stuck in the development of nuclear weapons, so it is necessary to recruit talents to promote research.

 Once this time is missed, many things will be different.

If the Western countries, led by the other side of the sea, knew that the Rabbits were close to mastering the hydrogen bomb, they would definitely not be able to let anyone return to the country, and they might even put aside their shame and attack some scholars who wanted to return to the country.

 In this case, the focus should really be on the stable return of talents to the country, and there is no need to think too much about money and income.

"correct."

Then Li Jue thought of something else, picked up the topic again, and asked Xu Yun:

 "Xiao Xu, how was Lop Nur's trip this time? Was the road bumpy?"

 “It went quite smoothly.”

　　When mentioning Lop Nur this time, Xu Yun’s tone became much more relaxed:

“There were no major problems throughout the whole process. Director Lu and I also met Comrade Peng Jiamu from the Zhuzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We all got along very happily.”

“As for small-scale nuclear explosion experiments, we have collected a lot of important radioactivity data, such as ERO, KTP values, etc., and the collectors are also in good physical condition.”

“At present, there are no big problems with the parameters of the atomic bomb we designed, but there are some areas—for example, the triggering angle of the ignition neutron needs to be optimized.”

 Lao Guo on the side nodded slightly.

As mentioned earlier, the purpose of al-Qaida's small-scale atomic bomb test explosion this time is to find out as many problems as possible, so it is normal to find some errors.

 For example, what Xu Yun said is the triggering angle of ignition neutrons.

  The angle originally designed by the theoretical team was 17.6°. Mathematically, there should be no problem with the refractive efficiency at this angle.

However, in the experiment, Lu Guangda and others found that this angle is not actually the technically optimal solution—because they ignored the geometric state of the reflective layer in the actual process.

 The so-called geometric state refers to the specific configuration of the structure. In pure mathematical calculations, this geometric state will not change. However, in real explosions, due to high temperatures and shock waves, the geometric state of the reflective layer will inevitably deform.

This deformation will eventually lead to the optimal triggering angle of the ignition neutron being inconsistent with the derivation process. The actual triggering angle should be corrected to 19.8°.

Similar situations occurred several times throughout the process. It can be considered a good thing that Xu Yun and Lu Guangda have gained some experience.

Although Li Jue doesn’t know much about the specific concept, he still understands this principle.

 So he nodded quickly and continued to ask:

“Xiao Xu, I heard that you also found a live chicken at the scene this time? And it also laid eggs?”

 Hear the word chicken.

Xu Yun's face suddenly showed a subtle look.

I saw him gently touching his chin, thinking carefully and saying:

“Well, we found a reed chicken at the heart of the explosion. It is about two and a half years old.”

“Originally, I wanted to send this chicken to Director Liu Youcheng and his colleagues for research, but I didn’t expect that it actually laid an egg on the way back.”

 Speaking at the end.

The corners of Xu Yun's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

 He really didn’t expect that the rooster would develop into the current style of painting.

Not long ago, Xu Yun and Lu Guangda discovered a living big rooster at the nuclear explosion site. Although Xu Yun was a little surprised at the time, he really didn't take it to heart.

After all, the place where the big rooster survived was inside the cabin. If there was a bunker, it was just like that.

In addition, there are actually many animals that have been radiated by nuclear radiation in later generations. I have drained the nuclear sewage next door twice and I haven’t seen Godzilla, right?

So Xu Yun simply kept this in mind and prepared to go back to the base to make a handover.

 The result was unexpected.

On the way back to the base from Lop Nur, this rooster actually laid an egg!

 This tmd is outrageous.

To know.

Roosters themselves do not have the ability to lay eggs. There are basically only three possibilities for roosters to lay eggs in later generations.

 The first type is the second creation of suspense novels. Many suspense novels like to start with a rooster laying eggs, and they slowly spread from person to person.

The second type is when the rooster drops unfertilized eggs while adding chicken essence to the hens, and others mistakenly think that the rooster is laying eggs.

 This kind of situation is relatively common in rural areas. After "Satire and Humor" reported it in the last century, it has gradually become the mainstream of roosters laying eggs.

The third type is that hormones in the feed cause the hen to overgrow, making the hen's comb appear to be about the same size as a rooster, so that it is mistaken for a rooster.

 Throughout nature.

 Simple 'rooster lays eggs' does not actually exist, but there is a special situation that indirectly leads to the so-called 'rooster lays eggs'.

 That is, the hen has undergone natural degeneration over a period of time due to some reasons (not related to feed), and has transformed from a hen into a complete rooster.

 The essential reason for this situation is that a hen usually only has one left ovary that functions. When it is damaged, it will be replaced by the right ovary.

This alternation process may cause the androgen levels in the hens to rise significantly, eventually giving them the sexual characteristics of roosters.

 One of the causes of this situation may also be the lack of other male individuals in the chicken group. Just like if there are too many male netizens in the **** group, there will always be one or two who are forced to become a tomboy or a group RBQ.

But the big rooster that Xu Yun and the others discovered now does not belong to any of the above conditions. It laid eggs in a purely male body.

 Then Li Jue leaned back in his seat, rested his head on the chair, and asked:

“Xiao Xu, how are those eggs doing now?”

 Xu Yun showed a slightly embarrassed smile:

“No one dared to touch it. They were afraid of nuclear radiation if they ate it, and they were afraid of destroying the samples during shell-breaking research, so they kept it in the chicken cage.”

 Say it.

Xu Yun scratched his hair again and continued to laugh twice.

The rooster brought back from Lop Nur this time only laid one egg, so both Xu Yun and Lu Guangda were in rare trouble:

It’s easy to boil or fry an egg, but its ‘father’ is a rooster who survived the atomic bomb after all. No one can say whether there will be any radioactive nuclide inside the egg.

If you eat it hard, you won't be able to protect yourself. Before Neon's side had time to mutate, the rabbits had their own Godzilla.

Lu Guangda was a little reluctant to do direct dissection and research. After all, this egg was truly a unique one. No one could say whether the rooster would lay another one.

So.

This special egg was temporarily placed in the chicken coop, and for a while no one knew what to do with it.

"No one dares to move." Li Jue thought for a few seconds after hearing the words, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

“In that case, Xiao Xu, why don’t you put it in the donkey shed and try it?”

“Those local donkeys are full of treasures. Maybe they can also give some surprises when it comes to hatching eggs. At least there should be no difference between roosters and male donkeys in terms of egg hatching experience.”

Xu Yun:

  “?!”

The eggs laid by the rooster are hatched by the donkey. Why does this style of painting look so like the basilisk in Harry Potter?

If I remember correctly, the basilisk in "Harry Potter" was hatched from a male egg by a toad.

But very quickly.

 Xu Yun also understood Li Jue's thoughts.

Same.

The rooster itself has no experience in hatching eggs, so there is essentially no difference between whether the rooster or the donkey takes care of the eggs. They are both men dressed as women, and this is the first time in their lives.

At the same time, the local donkeys at the base are physically exhausted during this period. They are either grinding or being shaved every day. The first thing they do when they return to the donkey shed is to fall asleep.

 In this case, there is no need to worry about them crushing the eggs—in fact, a few little donkeys have been born at the base recently.

 After all, the number of local donkeys in the base now exceeds a thousand, and it is quite normal for some little donkeys to be born.

In this case, it is actually quite safe to put the eggs in the donkey shed.

 After ensuring basic security, the rest is “reward”.

Do not know why.

Although there is no evidence, Xu Yun always feels that the eggs hatched by local donkeys may bring him some small surprises.

  Anyway, if you don’t do anything now, the egg will probably go bad in a short time.

Think of this.

 He then looked up at Li Jue and said:

“Director, I think you can give this idea a try.”

"right?"

Li Jue looked very happy and couldn't help laughing twice:

“Anyway, I understand. If there’s anything we can’t handle in our base, we’ll contact you first. If you can’t help it, just contact the donkey. This sequence is correct.”

Xu Yun:

ˆ “.”

 Why does this sound a little wrong?

However, before Xu Yun had time to carefully reflect on the meaning of these words, Li Jue changed the topic again:

“By the way, Xiao Xu, the Chinese New Year will be in just over a month. Do you have any ideas about the New Year’s party?”

 Xu Yun was suddenly startled.

 Chinese New Year?

However, he soon realized that indeed, it will be almost the Chinese New Year in a while

 At the same time, the time when he came to this era was approaching half a year without realizing it.

 Soon it will be his first Chinese Spring Festival in this era, and it will also be the last special festival before leaving.

 After this Spring Festival, his time in this era will completely enter the countdown.

  I feel a bit reluctant to give up. I always feel that there are still many, many things that have not been done.

While Xu Yun was having a lot of thoughts in his heart, Li Jue on the opposite side couldn't help but call his name again:

 “Xiao Xu, what’s wrong with you?”

 “Oh, I’m fine.”

Xu Yun quickly came to his senses, shook his head quickly, and explained:

“I just thought of something. As for the Spring Festival. Director, how do we usually spend our time?”

 “As usual”

Li Jue's eyes flashed with memories. From the time the base was first built to now, he has also spent three Spring Festivals at the base:

"Usually, each person has an extra steamed bun, half a fish and three ounces of meat. A group of seven people in the workshop will share a can of beef and cook soup for themselves. Then when the time comes, everyone will sing a few songs and set off some firecrackers. On New Year's Eve, Even if it’s passed.”

“Last year we were a little short of supplies, so we only got one tael of meat and the fish were not that big.”

“At that time, a lottery was conducted in order to fairly distribute the bases. For example, the comrades in the second branch factory generally received less than two taels of fish, but no one said anything.”

 Speaking.

Li Jue couldn't help but sigh.

He was the first leader of the entire base to come to Jinyintan, and he could recall a lot of difficulties the base encountered in its early days just by turning his head around.

 What he regrets most is that he has not been able to give everyone a better Spring Festival in the early years.

To know.

Jinyintan itself has a very high altitude, and the temperature in winter is extremely cold. The human body's demand for heating and food is inherently much higher than in the plains.

At the same time, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, and the meal on New Year’s Eve has extraordinary significance in all aspects.

However, the base has been so poor in the past three years that it has been unable to give its employees a good year for three consecutive years.

Although most employees did not blame the base leaders, Li felt that there was always a thorn in their hearts.

but

 This year is different.

This year with the emergence of Xu Yun, the base ushered in a new wave of changes in the second half of the year:

 The equipment is available, U2 has been defeated, there are more talents, and supplies are sufficient.

At present, there are more than 1,000 tons of winter wheat piled in the base's warehouse, and the daily staple food quota for an adult is only about 500 grams.

These wheat can be used to make steamed buns, pancakes, or even just add some corn kernels to make porridge as a staple food.

Even if the weight of the wheat husks is removed, there is enough for the base to survive the coldest winter and still have a surplus.

This is also the reason why most base leaders are so friendly to Xu Yun - there are only five leaders in the base who really know Xu Yun's origins. The reason why others rarely have objections to Xu Yun's various plans is largely because of Xu Yun's background. Yun’s contribution to the food industry.

It is precisely for this reason.

 Li Jue is also full of expectations for the upcoming Spring Festival.

after all

 He also knew very well that this would be Xu Yun's last Spring Festival at the base.

 Whether it is for the morale of the base employees or for Xu Yun himself, this Spring Festival should leave some special memories.

 This is also part of the gratitude that Li Jue can express within his ability.

Note:

 You can guess what the eggs will produce, it’s very interesting~
