After receiving the message, Pan Weining suddenly mentioned 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 they change very quickly, maybe one idea a day. But this time it was less than a day, one idea in the morning, and another idea 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 to answer the phone, Pan Weining directly sent a text message to ask.
But Uncle Wei didn't reveal much.
It can be seen from Pan Weining's text message that Uncle Wei is in a good mood and very energetic, and does not seem to have been shocked.
Pan Weining felt relieved when he learned that the rat tide over 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 on 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 by today was full 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 each 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 and 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's still within control and can be dealt with in the next 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 that started again continued to travel along their planned 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 study mice?"
"I changed my mind. Anyway, I haven't signed the contract yet, so it doesn't count as a breach of contract. Are you going to study it?!"
"No, Lao 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 funds were negotiated, 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 also 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's so much hidden 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 lucky. Fortunately, he got back some money from selling the meteorite, otherwise he really couldn’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.
There was another reminder: "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, with 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 will come into play."
Uncle Wei very much 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 become ineffective, but the reaction of the rats clearly told him that there were still some things inside that were working!
If you have not experienced this before, [Y] may 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?"
Tuojia 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 at the landing site for a long time.
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 was enclosed as a teaching area in the past, 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 for fun come here to pose for photos."
Feng Yi picked up a stone from the ground. It was not difficult for him to distinguish it, but if it was just a photo, it would be really difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
"Can you pick up any stones in this area?" Feng Yi asked.
"Just pick it up, without an owner. Many tourists who come here to take pictures will pick up one or two pieces to take 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 little splash, and the management is not strict. Do you want to pick up two 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 tests.
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 the three stones.
Wen Zhiyu thought of the day at the paintball club when he was thrown 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.
"This time of year should 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.
This type of periodic meteor shower is generally related to comets.
Every time a comet is close to the sun, it scatters all the way in 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, there will be comets scattered in the orbit.
The fragments enter the atmosphere and form a meteor shower.
For example, Halley's Comet is familiar to people. The parent comet of the Aquarids meteor shower in May and the Orionid meteor shower in October every year 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 now is the Perseid meteor shower. However, 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 from this meteor group. I won't just watch it by myself. I'm 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 get a surprise shot?!”
Pan Weining is more rational. He is not optimistic: "Even if we don't know the dust distribution structure of the parent comet, the maximum period has passed and it is almost out of the orbital area. There won't be so much 'little garbage' falling, so it's better not to hug it at this time."
Too much expectation.”
Wen Zhiyu looked disapproving: "What are you talking about as 'trash'! 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 stimulated, and he knocked the two stones he picked up in his hand: "What if?! What if a meteor biu~~ 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, watched it draw a parabola in the air, and fell to the ground, "If it falls, it will be a meteorite!"
Wen Zhiyu turned to look at Feng Yi, who had been silent for the whole time: "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 imagine that there is a one-in-a-ten thousand chance 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 but 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 and prepared to use the machine to take pictures of the sky all night.
Pan Weining spoke to his family on the phone.
And Feng Yi...
Sitting cross-legged on the carpet.
There were several stones in front of me.
There are two meteorites that contain energy materials, three ordinary meteorites, and three stones picked up in the Gobi today that were brought up from the underground warehouse.
These are the materials he will use for experiments 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 his 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.
The recent chapter said that the display is abnormal and will recover in a few days.
