Chapter 297: So stupid, can’t even crack melon seeds
A group of people gathered around Mili, mainly looking at her little paws.
If Song Heng hadn't been stronger, maybe someone would have just taken action regardless.
Xiao Yizhi decided to use it as a tattoo, and no matter how much it was touched or touched, it remained motionless.
Song Heng asked his assistant to help record the size and shape of the "tattoo", and then asked Mi Li to try to communicate with it and ask if he could provide some samples for them to study.
Mili poked the little exotic plant for a long time before the plant reluctantly spat out two leaves and five sunflower seeds.
No matter what Mili said after that, he would pretend to be dead and not answer.
Song Heng knows how to behave.
I kept one leaf and one sunflower seed, and gave the rest to the person in charge of the central laboratory, leaving him to deal with the headache of distribution.
Mi Li followed Song Heng to his research laboratory.
He consciously climbed up on the chair and sat down, asking the female assistant to draw blood and file it. Mili put his chin on one hand and sighed.
"What's wrong?" The female assistant took out a piece of dried meat and stuffed it into Mili's mouth, "Sigh when you see me. I will be sad, little mermaid."
"No." Mili put his feet together and swayed back and forth.
"The situation seems to be getting more and more complicated recently. Brother Alfonso saw that there are many tasks in the mission center that he has never seen before. And the star beast that the little alien plant shakes is very different from what we know. I always
I feel like the situation is not good."
"You don't need to worry whether the situation is good or not. If the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up. Why are you worrying so much?"
Song Heng came here with only a female assistant this time, and the other assistants were all from the center.
While the female assistant was drawing blood from Mili for examination, everyone else was quietly paying attention to them.
"Uncle Song, how is the research on that insect egg?"
"It's a bit interesting." Song Heng didn't hide it, "That plant is in the process of pollination. There must be no wind in space to carry flowers, so the plant relies on the nature of the bees in the Zerg to help reproduce."
According to previous research, they have identified three directions and sent reconnaissance planes there. However, no news has been reported back so far.
The conditions of the people who were parasitized ranged from mild to severe, and it didn't seem like they were parasitized at the same time. When tracing their activity trajectories, it was determined that they had all stayed in certain two areas. It was likely that they were parasitized there.
.
The specific situation needs to continue to be investigated.
Although the crystal ball can initially identify whether it is parasitized to a certain extent, it still requires very cumbersome means to determine it.
The most important thing is that they found during the inspection that the maturation time of the parasitic seeds is getting shorter and shorter, which means that the time for the body to explode is getting faster and faster.
"I would like to ask your help to see if we can freeze people and slow down the development of seeds." Song Heng pinched the bridge of his nose, "Our research speed cannot keep up with the speed of maturity, and it will only get worse if this continues.
”
Of course Mili doesn't mind helping. She is good at freezing people. She guarantees that what they look like when they are frozen will be what they look like after thawing.
But there's a problem.
She didn't know how low the temperature would have to be to freeze a person and the parasite, and she was afraid that she would freeze the person to death by accident.
They are also afraid that the freezing temperature will not be low enough, so people’s activities are restricted, but the activity of the seeds is still there.
In order to solve this problem, Song Heng took the heavily armed Mili into a special room and tested the collected blood and body fluids of the parasites. Finally, he succeeded just before the third parasite was about to explode.
But problems also arise.
The parasites were frozen, and the number of samples required for their research was not enough, so they could only use estimated methods to configure experimental inhibitors.
The concentration of this inhibitor is not clear, and those parasites are time bombs. No one knows whether they will explode suddenly.
Another way is to inject drugs into the human body to kill insects.
These seeds are similar to insect eggs. If a suitable pesticide can be mixed and it does not have much impact on the human body, it can also be an effective method.
How to do this depends on the research results of the researchers, and Mili doesn’t know anyway.
"What medicine did you give Gundam before, the one that made him spit out all the insect eggs?"
Hearing Song Heng ask her, Mi Li lay on the table, poking the small xenograft tattoo with her finger, and answered casually: "It's just an emetic, with some fish gelatin powder added to it. The smell of that stuff is very bad."
, but it is quite attractive to insects."
As she spoke, she took out a large glass bottle from her bracelet and placed it on the table with a clang.
"Here, this is it. When we were on the small base planet, we and the mermaid aunt made it for fun. We mixed this in the bait to attract bugs, and then used the bugs to fish."
A large bottle weighs at least one kilogram.
Immediately, an assistant researcher helped divide the bottle of fish gelatin powder into many portions. After leaving a portion for Song Heng, the rest was given away.
Mili curled his lips, his face clearly showing disdain, and the other assistant researchers also felt a little feverish when they saw it.
Song Heng adapted well.
It was the same when I was at the Interstellar Research Institute.
Of course, at least those people would ask questions meaningfully at that time, unlike this researcher who simply ignored Song Heng.
Even though the center is so big, there are still factions fighting.
After seeing Mi Li's dissatisfaction and Song Heng's indifference, someone took the time to send a message to his superior.
The next day, the self-assertive researcher did not appear again, and the person who replaced him had a much more humble attitude.
Mili didn't stay in the research room for too long. After confirming that the transplant was harmless for the time being, she returned to her room with this small tattoo.
As soon as she returned, Alfonso and the others gathered around her, touching her worriedly.
"Don't touch me, it's okay. This thing is harmless."
She squeezed out a sentence, then carefully observed her surroundings with her mental strength, and then took out a handful of purple melon seeds.
"Come, take a little bit each, eat whatever you want, and give me the melon seed shells after you finish. Don't take them away."
Gao Sen was the most curious. As soon as Mi Li finished speaking, he grabbed a few and threw them into his mouth.
"Ah, bah, this shell is so hard."
Gao Sen frowned and vomited it out. The melon seeds were still melon seeds, and even the oily skin was not broken.
Mi Li was stunned for a moment, then picked up one and placed it between his two front teeth. With a gentle force, the melon seed shell burst open, revealing the plump melon seed kernel inside.
Looking at the perfectly shaped melon seed shell in his hand, and then at the few intact melon seeds spit out by Gao Sen, the disgust on Mili's face was dazzling.
Gao Sen's handsome face turned red, and he imitated Mili's example, biting it, but it didn't move. He bit it again, but it still didn't move.
Gundam and the others next to them were curious and picked up a melon seed to crack.
Except for Alfonso, no one could successfully crack open the tiny purple sunflower seeds.
