In the hospital, Lao Zhang was in pain and happy, but in the D-5B base, there was only busyness.
Hua Yu's health recovered well and he was able to walk around soon. He couldn't rest and joined the work in the laboratory again.
But now he is more responsible for giving oral instructions. Since he is a little weak, he has to rest for a while before he can do it himself.
As for Gaoshan, he is no longer on the surface, but is responsible for detailed research on the beast's nest in the underground beast's nest laboratory.
There are top experts from all over the country gathered here. He is the only one who specializes in traditional Chinese medicine, and the rest are top scientific researchers.
There are countless experimental equipments, and there are many things that even Gaoshan has never seen before.
When the laboratory was first built, Gao Shan was like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden. She could hardly turn her eyes.
The high-end instruments borrowed from national laboratories are more valuable than experts and professors like them.
Because of their uniqueness and specialness, many things are cared for by dedicated personnel every day. Chen Zhen even comes to check on them every day, for fear that something might happen to these treasures.
You must know that there are many instruments here, which were obtained from Western countries through special means. If they break, they will be gone.
Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the other party to send people to repair it. Naturally, there are many warnings from above to use it with caution.
If the beast's nest hadn't been so important, these instruments would never have left the laboratory.
"Professor Gao, are you up so early again?" In the early morning, before dawn, the director arrived at the laboratory and was surprised to find that Gao Shan was already there.
"Yes." Gao Shan responded absently, and continued to immerse himself in the electron microscope. He was observing the cells of the beast's nest eggs.
The cells of these eggs are very interesting. Although they have been broken and separated, they still maintain weak activity.
Just like being in a dormant state, some people speculate that they will revive under certain circumstances and even form eggs again.
This unscientific speculation has driven scientific researchers into a frenzy. Gao Shan is not the only one who is fascinated by it. Everyone who joined the project is full of interest in it.
The director didn't care when he saw Gao Shan indulged in the experiment. As a researcher, he understood very well the state of being addicted after encountering something of interest.
However, Gao Shan's energy is still admirable. Every time he is the last one to leave, and the first one to show up the next day.
I heard from the security guard outside that he would only leave the laboratory for about two hours a day and stay inside the rest of the time.
And Gao Shan, who spent a lot of time on experiments, achieved the most results.
So far, what they are sure of is that earth beasts are oviparous creatures, but their eggs do not form eggshells, but remain egg-shaped.
The fragile, film-like shell can lock in all nutrients and energy, and can also spontaneously absorb natural energy from the outside world.
This is their biggest discovery so far. If this technology can be applied to other fields, human science and technology will make a qualitative leap.
Biological engines, 'living' self-sufficient weapons, airplanes, cars, ships, etc. Think about what kind of world that is.
However, although the special characteristics of the egg layer have been discovered, there is still a long way to go before it can be used, let alone artificial reproduction and production.
"Can we try first and use small weapons such as pistols to cultivate the eggs together? Maybe we will get unexpected results."
Half a month after the experiment was carried out, Gao Shan came up with his own idea. The experiment was originally about progressing through trials and failures.
Just relying on speculation and imagination, they can only stand still and make some attempts, maybe they will get unexpected surprises.
"You can give it a try, there are a lot of them anyway." The director agreed with him.
The egg layers selected and stored in the laboratory were packed into five large glass jars two people high. Although most of them were contaminated and could not remain active, there were still 700 to 800 kilograms of usable eggs.
These are enough for them to conduct countless demonstrations or experiments. At least at this stage, they do not need to worry about experimental materials.
The director and Gao Shan personally selected a QSZ92 semi-automatic pistol, which is also the current standard pistol of the army.
After wiping the pistol clean, the two found a glass petri dish the size of a washbasin, and then spread a 2cm thick egg layer inside.
Putting the pistol inside, the director was about to put an egg layer on top, when Gao Shan suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute...Whose pistol does this belong to?"
"It's mine." A soldier stood up.
"Come here." Gao Shan casually took a cotton swab from the side, asked the soldier to open his mouth, scraped the wall of his mouth with the cotton swab, and then applied it to the muzzle of the gun.
"What are you doing?" The director looked at his movements thoughtfully.
"An attempt." Gao Shan smiled. He just had a sudden impulse and wanted to give it a try.
As for whether it can be done, we will know after a while.
In order to ensure smooth cultivation, the petri dish was placed in a constant-temperature sterile room, and eight people worked in four shifts to keep an eye on it 24 hours a day for any changes.
The underground world is dark and cannot communicate with the outside world due to the magnetic field. If it weren't for the electronic calendar hanging on the wall every day, Gao Shan would probably forget the time.
After about 8 days, the egg layer in the petri dish changed. The egg layers that were originally placed on the top and bottom began to connect, forming a flat oval-shaped 'egg.'
Soon liquid began to appear inside, wrapping the 'child inside' like amniotic fluid.
But looking at the cold pistol inside, everyone's expressions were full of weirdness. Can this thing really have an effect on dead steel objects?
"Maybe they are not dead things. To humans, steel is not a living thing, but to alien creatures, maybe it is also a special kind of living thing." When the director spoke, his expression was as weird as any.
.
How come the steel life form always reminds people of a certain Hollywood blockbuster? Will some Autobots really fall down one day and start a world war?
It is still unknown whether the Autobots will appear, but now the 'pistol baby' in front of them has begun to change.
The position of the handle is surrounded by smooth lines of horn, and the top of the muzzle spreads forward like a sharp spear. The changes in the barrel of the gun are not clear yet, but the body of the gun is covered with lines that look like meridians or blood vessels.
These lines penetrate deep into the gun body, but they are constantly flashing with dark red light.
"Do you want to take it out?" It was discovered that the changes in the gun body had stopped for 3 days, and some people couldn't wait to try its changes.
"Wait a little longer." Both Gao Shan and the director decided to wait and see.
Since it is a 'baby born from an egg', it will naturally come out when it is time to give birth. It seems that it has no plans to be born yet.
"Waiting for a gun to be born?" After Chen Zhen, who went to a war zone for a meeting, came back and heard about the experiments currently being conducted in the laboratory, his face was full of doubts about life.
Did he drink too much with the old chief last night and still not sober up?
Otherwise, the base was occupied by aliens, and the people standing in front of him were not human beings. Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing as "waiting for the gun to be born" happen?
