One step closer to reality every day

342 Meteor
After receiving the news, Pan Weining thought 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 heard it from the elders in the family for a long time, my uncle has a lot of thoughts, and it becomes very fast, maybe one idea a day.But this time it was less than a day. One idea in the morning changed again in the afternoon!
What stimulated this? !
How much stimulation would it take to bring about this change? !
I don't know where it is inconvenient to answer the phone, so Pan Weining directly sent a text message to ask.

It's just that Uncle Wei didn't reveal too much.

Pan Weining could tell from his little uncle's text messages that Wei Xiaojiu was in a good mood and looked very motivated, he didn't seem to have been hit.

Knowing that the rat tide over there has passed and the vehicles on the road started again, Pan Weining felt relieved.

Afterwards, Pan Weining re-read the messages sent by his uncle today, and he suspected that his change of mind had something to do with the rat tide.

He has limited knowledge of Rat Tide's information, and there are discussions on the Internet, some of which are well-founded, and some of which are pure nonsense.

After flipping through the online discussions for a while, Pan Weining went directly to ask Feng Yi.

After all, he is an expert of the United Nations Insurance Bureau, and there are always some channels for news.

"Feng Yi, I have a question. The section of the road that my uncle passed today, this time the rats swarmed. Do you know the reason? Or have you heard the explanation from an authoritative expert?"

After the climate anomaly period, with the multi-pronged containment measures, although there are rat swarms, but the frequency is much reduced.There must be a reason for every occurrence.

Feng Yi did see this matter being discussed in one of the expert groups.

"It's still under investigation, but according to the discussions of several experts, it may be the continuous drought that caused the rats to migrate to the main food-producing areas. Afterwards, climate change and sudden heavy rainfall brought together the rats that were scattered everywhere.

"With water and food, there is no shortage of food and drink, and the desire of rats to reproduce has increased, which has formed 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 it was also emphasized many times at the beginning of this year.

To prevent rat clusters and plan ahead, although it may not be completely prevented, it must be controlled within a certain range.

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

"In general, it is still within the controllable range, and it can be dealt with in these two days."

What Feng Yi said, Pan Weining also knew that there were similar reasons for many rat tides in the past.

Looking at it this way, there is nothing special.

So, what changed my uncle's mind?
the other side.

As the rat tide passed, the re-started vehicle continued to drive along the scheduled route.

inside the car.

Uncle Wei is discussing with his friends in the laboratory.

There was no support for his new idea, but as an investor, Uncle Wei was firm in his thinking and full of confidence.

"I'm going to invest in the development of rat poison!"

"...Didn't we agree to invest in the direction of reducing fibrinolytic thrombolysis and neuroprotection! Why study mice?"

"I changed my mind. Anyway, I haven't signed the contract yet, so it's not a breach of contract. Do you want to study it?!"

"No, Old Wei..."

"If you guys do this project, I'll double... twice the investment!"

"...Old Wei, I didn't say no to doing it! Establish the project! Establish the project immediately!"

The person on the other side of the phone thought to himself: Isn't it just rat poison?What a simple matter!

Even if you lose money, it's the money owner who asked for it!
Anyway, the additional funds are enough for their laboratory to upgrade their instruments!

Once the funds were negotiated, both parties were satisfied.

The person on the other side of the phone said: "Since you have decided to do this, you have to recall it carefully. From the time you get [Y] to the opening of the cover, all the temperature changes and environmental factors in the process must be detailed. Record. We must first look at the effect of temperature changes on the active substances in it, and see how much protein denaturation and renaturation exists in it.”

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

"We have to find the key enzymes and functional substances that work in it, and we have to find it accurately! In case the functional substances in it change, you send [Y] to the company's laboratory as soon as possible!"

Uncle Wei also thought the same way: "I see, you guys should hurry up and prepare new projects."

Now, he can't take care of anything else, and everything is based on this.

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

The person on the other side of the phone agreed: "Otherwise, why are so many people addicted to it! [Y] was called a 'global feast' by the industry when it came out! It's not one region or one country, but the whole world! Here, hidden With endless wealth!"

After the excitement is over, return to reality.

The other side said: "However, Old Wei, this is definitely not enough."

Uncle Wei is now in high spirits, and he waved his hand: "You lead the team to do this project first! I'll figure out a way later!"

Over there: "Now the ancestor factory is gradually relaxing to private companies, and will release some purchase quotas. But each time the quota is limited, the competition is very fierce."

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

Uncle Wei was very happy.Fortunately, the meteorite was sold to get a sum of money back, otherwise I really couldn't afford it!
The lab is too expensive!
Over there: "You must pay attention to the refrigerator next time you buy it!"

"It's up to you to say that!"

Violence flashed in Uncle Wei's eyes.

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

The other side also reminded: "When you are looking for a way, you can ask secretly, whoever bought [Y], if it is not preserved properly, or if there are other reasons that cause a large amount of substances in it to be deactivated, you can also buy it back. try."

Uncle Wei nodded: "That makes sense. But with the preciousness of [Y] now, this kind of situation is very rare. Even if the composition of it changes due to accidental reasons, those big teams will definitely let the students under them practice. They will not easily pass it on to others. .”

The other side was lost and said: "That's right, there are too many secrets hidden in [Y], and no one knows whether the so-called 'inactivation' really loses all its effects. Maybe there is a balance in it, when certain active substances lose their effectiveness At the same time, other functional substances will work."

Uncle Wei very much agrees with this statement.

you do not say!

Just like him this time, it was obviously improperly preserved, causing many of the active substances to fail, but the reaction of the rats told him so clearly that there were still some things in it that were working!

If you haven't experienced this before, [Y] may not have such an obvious rat repelling effect!

"The Ancestor Factory is really a miraculous company. How did they research this fetish?"

Tuojia Town.

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

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

The desert area is one of the most suitable areas in the world to find meteorites. It is called a natural drying box for storing meteorites. Meteorites can often be preserved for a long time at the landing site.

The location where they are now does not belong to the meteorite-enriched area, but a check-in point of a well-known Internet celebrity in the local area.

Wen Zhiyu pointed to the darker-colored 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 before, and there are teachers who specialize in it." Teach people to identify which are real meteorites and which are fake meteorites. Now that the teaching area is gone, it has become a local check-in point for Internet celebrities, and people who come here will come here to pose for pictures.”

Feng Yi picked up a stone from the ground.For him, it is not difficult to distinguish, but if it is just a photo, it is really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Can the stones in this area be picked up casually?" Feng Yi asked.

"Pick it up casually, no owner. Many tourists who come here to take pictures will pick up one or two pieces and take them back as souvenirs. Anyway, some people will continue to throw stones here. This is one of the local places suitable for taking pictures. If there are not enough stones for decoration, It will not 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 a real meteorite?" Feng Yi was curious.

"It may be that the popularity of meteorites has dropped, the trading volume is small, the market is not splashed, and the control is not strict. Do you want to pick up two pieces and go back to play?" Wen Zhiyu asked.

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

"That's right. Comparing them can strengthen the recognition 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 of different sizes, the smallest was about the size of an adult's fist, and the largest 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 when he was blown away by Feng Yi at the paintball club.

Come on, people's strength doesn't need help at all!
"Do you keep watch at night to watch meteors? The sky here is quite suitable for star watching." Wen Zhiyu asked.

Pan Weining wasn't interested in this. People like them who often run outside have seen meteors more often than ordinary people.

"It should be the meteor shower in the Perseids at this time? It's not like we haven't seen it before. Besides, this year's maximum period has passed, and you may not be able to see one even if you watch all night."

The meteor shower named after the constellation only refers to the direction, not to the fragments of celestial bodies sent from those distant galaxies.

Periodic meteor showers of this kind are generally related to comets.

Every time a comet is close to the sun, it goes all the way in its orbit.Our planet revolves around the sun and has a close intersection with the orbit of a comet. Every time it passes near the orbit of a comet, fragments of the comet will enter the atmosphere and form a meteor shower.

For example, the familiar Halley's Comet.The Aquarid meteor shower in May and the Orionid meteor shower in October every year, their parent comet is Comet Halley.

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

And Feng Yi and the others are at this point in time, the Perseid meteor shower.It's just that the maximum period has passed for many days.

Pan Weining is only interested in meteor showers during the maximum period, other times the flow is not large, and sometimes there is not even one meteor shower in a few days.

Of course Wen Zhiyu knew it well, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "The active period has not completely passed, and I can definitely see the meteors of this meteor group. It’s good to have a machine squatting for this kind of thing. Hey, maybe you can get a surprise shot?!”

Pan Weining is more rational, and he is not optimistic: "Even if you don't know the dust particle distribution structure of the parent comet, but the maximum period has passed, and it is almost out of the orbital area, and there are not so many 'little garbage' falling down, so don't hold on to it at this time. Expected too much."

Wen Zhiyu looked disapproving: "What are you talking about 'garbage'! How can you call it garbage! It's called a celestial body! Such a beautiful thing, you can't speak it out of place!"

Speaking of which, Wen Zhiyu began to fantasize again: "Hey, it would be great if there were meteors falling to the ground."

Pan Weining ruthlessly interrupted his fantasy: "That's why I said 'little trash'. The meteor showers are made up of small stars, which are burned to ashes in the atmosphere."

Inspired by Wen Zhiyu's romantic feelings, the two stones he picked up in his hand banged loudly: "What if?! What if a shooting star biu~~ fell down!"

Pan Weining looked up at the sky: "That's an extragroup of meteors. It's not the Perseid constellation you're staring at."

Wen Zhiyu threw the stone in his hand away, watched it draw a parabola in the air, and fell to the ground, "It's a meteorite!"

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

Feng Yi...

Feng Yi felt guilty.

"Well, maybe. Nothing is absolute."

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

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

Several people returned to their residences from the Gobi area.

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

Still disc.

Wen Zhiyu thought it was because they consumed too much outside today that they finished eating so much.

Pan Weining beside him smiled and said nothing.

Feng Yi also smiled, with a look of approval.

After the meal, everyone is busy with their own work.

Wen Zhiyu went to set up his camera, planning to use the machine to take pictures of the sky overnight.

Pan Weining called his family.

And Feng Yi...

Sit cross-legged on the rug.

There are several stones in front of you.

Some were brought up from the underground warehouse, two meteorites containing energy substances, three ordinary meteorites, and three stones picked up in Gobi today.

These are the materials he will use for his experiments tonight.

Feng Yi sat cross-legged for a while, feeling uncomfortable, and it was comfortable when he was out of shape.

But not in his own territory, and can only maintain this mimicry.

He changed his posture again.

Pick up the meteorite that contains energy matter.

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

　The latest chapter said that the display is abnormal and will recover in a few days.
