Chapter 365 Concoctions

"Zhou Ai, Linglong... Bai Hao is also here. Top-point-..." Claire greeted from a distance, and Tang Fang also smiled and nodded to the three of them.

It wasn't until she got closer that she realized that Linglong was carrying a backpack. It was not light, her slender body was slightly arched under the pressure, and her steps were unusually slow.

Beads of sweat slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground and shattered. The girl opened her mouth and panted hard, her slightly protruding chest rose and fell violently.

"It turned out to be weight-bearing training, no wonder..." Weight-bearing cross-country training is common in the army, and it is really nothing, not to mention the flat terrain of the relay station, and the failure of the gravity system has been barely repaired, which has greatly reduced the difficulty of training. But, after all, Linglong's background is weak, and she's a girl. Isn't it too much for such an intense exercise in less than a month?

Tang Fang looked at Zhou Ai, but she shook her head innocently and sighed.

Bai Hao next to him showed a rare expression of resentment. This time, he ignored Tang Fang's existence and scolded Linglong: "You are full, right? You survived in Rector, and now Do you have to exhaust yourself to death? Carrying ten kilograms is something that anyone can bear, just with your small body..."

Claire couldn't see it, she stepped forward, stopped Bai Hao's reprimand, looked at Linglong worriedly and said: "Linglong, you can't rush the training, the right way is to proceed step by step, if you are so eager for success, you will put your body on the contrary." Broken."

Linglong gritted her teeth hard, shook her head, panted for a while, tried to take a deep breath, and continued to run forward.

"Oh." Zhou Ai sighed again: "This child... is too stubborn!"

Bai Hao's face turned livid: "Don't bother with her, just let her be exhausted, the left and right are worrying masters."

Claire wanted to say something else. Tang Fang stretched out his hand, shook his head, said: "Let's go", and continued to run along the original route.

In terms of Linglong's physique, it is indeed a little bit reluctant to carry a weight of ten kilograms, but it is not enough to say that the body is exhausted. At most, it is overwork. As long as the conditioning is good and the diet can keep up, there will be no major problems.

"Remember to ask the chief cook to make some nutritional supplements for her alone."

Claire smiled slightly: "It's kind of you."

Tang Fang shrugged: "I'm the captain of the Morning Star. There are nearly 200 people in this big family. Which one should I not take care of?"

"Stop it.

The girl curled her lips: "It's good that you can take care of yourself." "

After finishing speaking, she changed her tone and said with a puzzled expression: "Bai Hao took gunpowder today? He spoke so aggressively. Before this kid saw you, he looked like a little Jingba. He is so good. Today is What's wrong?"

Tang Fang chuckled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Claire and kept laughing. The girl with the obscene expression felt terrified: "Can you stop staring at me like this, I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Everyone has their own fate." Tang Fang left a confusing sentence and ran forward quickly.

"Everyone has their own fate?" Claire muttered softly, then looked at the captain's back with hatred, bit her lower lip and spat: "This guy is still such a stinky fart. "

...

The two ran around and returned to Xinggang. From a distance, I saw Howson and Churchill staring at the boarding passage outside the Morning Star, arguing fiercely.

Tang Fang turned his head and ran away, but was grabbed by the back of the neck by Claire: "Where are you running? Do you want to hide? First settle those two people, don't forget what you just said, Captain..."

"I..." Tang Fang sighed with a bitter face. He could only linger forward under Claire's gaze.

In fact, the reason why he got up early was that he wanted to cultivate a relationship with Claire on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to avoid disasters. Ever since the shaped cannon was installed on the Morningstar, the old friends Howson and Churchill had been arguing endlessly over who should be the main gunner. As far as the virtues of these two people are concerned, they will be the same as the real and fake Monkey King. No one in the sky or on the earth can live a peaceful life.

Unlike before, the two of them didn't do anything, and they didn't cause trouble. At most, they quarreled with crooked eyebrows, blushed and thick necks. Because it was a job dispute, the two had a bottom line, knew restraint, and did not roll up their sleeves to fight. Moreover, with the lessons from the previous round, they have also learned to be smart. When Aros was around, he spoke politely, as good as the first ten minutes of the news broadcast, but as long as the veteran left. Well, the decibels are no less than the "March of the Volunteers" played by the loudspeakers in the village at 6:30. No matter whether you just slipped into bed or lie in bed, no one wants to have quiet ears.

For this matter, the two of them made a lot of trouble with Tang Fang. At the beginning, he showed a tough stance and appointed Churchill to be in charge of the main gun of the Morning Star. As a result, that bastard Howson would chatter about this matter whenever he met, soft-hearted, nonsense, and stalking him.

Can't you beat him up for this? You must know that Howson, as a veteran, usually idles around on the ship and does not do his job properly. It is so hard to make progress once, and he is beaten up by himself, which is so chilling.

Hence, Tang Fang is now most afraid of seeing these two guys.

Based on the fact that stretching the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, just give them a tough one, whoever dares to be poor and nagging endlessly in his ear like an old woman, I will kill him on the spot idea. Tang Fang quickly walked in front of the two of them, and said calmly, "Tell me, what's going on."

"Go ahead." Howson poked Churchill on the shoulder.

"Tell me." Churchill hesitated, looking at Tang Fang's frosty face.

"what happened?"

Seeing Tang Fang angry, Howson grinned: "The two of us have come up with a solution. What do you think? I will come on even-numbered days, and he will come on odd-numbered days. What do you think?"

"Hmm..." Tang Fang thought they were here to make trouble with him, and didn't want them to settle the matter by themselves. The gunner seems to be a very high-ranking position. In fact, the locking task is completed by the ship's electrical system. The gunner only needs to press the fire button at the right time. Therefore, the technical content is not high, and there is really no difference between the two who will be the main gunner.

"Then what were you two arguing about?"

"Because there are 7 odd-numbered months and only 5 even-numbered months, and leap years are also considered, um...that's it." Churchill said.

Fortunately, they figured out how to get on duty with odd and even numbers, but they got angry because of the extra two or three days. Tang Fang slapped his forehead. These two clubs were really hopeless, so he said, "You can figure it out." He took Claire's little hand and walked towards the boarding passage.

"By the way, Tang Fang, Valentine asked you to go to his place. It seems that there have been some breakthroughs in the study of giant snake specimens." The two walked to the entrance of the boarding passage. Suddenly, Howson's voice came from behind.

"Understood." Tang Fang waved his hand without looking back, and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.

Valentine's laboratory is located on the starboard side of the Morning Star. When passing the crew physical training room, Tang Fang seemed to hear Tang Lin talking in the room. Tang Fang opened the door and saw Tang Lin was half naked, only wearing sports shorts. With leggings wrapped around his legs, he was kicking sandbags at top speed.

"You can't use full strength. When you get 7 more than 3, you must be able to retract and release freely." Aros stood beside him with a cigar in his mouth, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, and pointing out the essentials of his movements.

The leggings Tang Lin used were not leather products, but genuine alloy steel plates. The combined weight of both legs probably weighed more than 20 kilograms. Even so, its movements are smooth and free, without any lag.

After being genetically modified by Faraday with Epsilon. His physical strength far exceeds the limit of the human body, but. After all, he had only been in the military academy for a few months, and he had only received physical training, and fighting was his weakness.

Tang Fang was well aware of Tang Lin's state, but considering the addition of protective clothing for harsh environments, it was enough to make up for this weakness. He didn't take it to heart, but he didn't know how he hooked up with Aros.

The veteran has always been a master who is afraid of trouble, why is he so diligent today.

"Brother, you're here." Seeing Tang Fang poking his head at the door, Tang Lin smiled. Stop kicking.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look, you guys continue." Nodding to the two of them, he retracted his body and continued on his way.

"It's strange, how did Aros become more diligent..." Claire was also puzzled.

"Never mind him." Tang Fang smiled knowingly: "This is a good thing."

"En." The girl nodded and said no more.

The two moved forward all the way, and arrived at the medical cabin on the starboard side three to five minutes later. The Morningstar is just a destroyer, only 200 meters long. The medical cabin was too small for Valentine to use. Later, Tang Fang dispatched s, and merged half of the armory next to it into the medical cabin, but it barely accommodated Grant in the medical cabin. The biological research equipment of Syrbes starport.

After the disaster in Wendenbath, only Moriton and Caroline survived the disaster of Valentine's students, and the manpower was greatly reduced. Fortunately, the original two doctors on the Morningstar had some biological knowledge, so they were recruited by Tang. Fang captured the strong man and temporarily assigned him to Valentine.

When Tang Fang and Claire rushed to the medical cabin, besides Valentine, Moriton, Caroline, and the two doctors, Yingluo and Roy were also in the room.

Back when he was at the Rector Northern Suburb Research Institute, if it wasn't for Valentine, Roy would have been dealt with by Faraday. To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a savior. He is closer to the old professor, come here There is nothing wrong with helping, but why is Ying Luo there?

Tang Fang looked puzzled and said, "Yingluo, why are you here?"

"I... I saw that everyone was working and my sister was training so hard, so I wanted to come over and do what I could." Although Yingluo and Linglong were twins, their personalities were very different. As a younger sister, she doesn't have Linglong's stubbornness, nor is she as weird as Tang Yun, but she has the feeling of little Claire.

At this time, the oldest of the two doctors said with a smile: "Tang Fang, I forgot to tell you that she is learning some first aid knowledge from me now. She is quite talented, and she is a good seedling."

"You still need to ask me for instructions on such a trivial matter, but it's just a casual question. Brother Li is willing to guide her and support the younger generation. I'm too happy to be happy."

"Hahaha..." Li Ziming walked in front of him, pointed at Claire, and gave him a wink: "How is it? Have you taken it? If you need something to add to the fun, just tell me."

"Uh..." Tang Fang's face suddenly became very strange. This guy, who is already a doctor, is still so stubborn. He glanced at Li Ziming, then at the docile and docile Yingluo, feeling a little worried for no reason.

Li Ziming glanced at him sideways, thinking he guessed what he was thinking, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and pointed to the opposite side: "See for yourself."

Tang Fang followed the direction he was pointing, and saw that guy Roy absently arranging the specimens while sneaking glances at Linglong's back.

"What's the date today?" He asked Claire casually.

"December 26, Rector time. Why are you asking this?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, I thought it was the season of thousands of pear trees blooming again."

Claire frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

She didn't know whether it was important or not, but Li Ziming next to him understood very well, and said with a smirk: "Don't pay attention to him, this kid is not a worry-free master."

He said so. The girl's family was even more confused, and she looked at the two gangsters with a full face of suspicion.

Tang Fang pretended not to know, left Li Ziming alone, walked up to Valentin, who was obsessed with his work in front of the laboratory bench, patted him on the shoulder, and called softly, "Walao, are you looking for me?"

Nehemiah is Nelaod, and Valentine is Valao. This nondescript title can only be called by the captain.

Valentine looked up, smiled and said, "You're here."

"I heard that the research has progressed, how is it?"

"Yes." Valentine nodded, and casually clicked a few buttons on the console. The screens on the two monitors above flashed, and two identical genetic structure diagrams appeared. They are all triple helix structures, Tang Fang has seen them before, they should be the genetic map of giant snakes.

then. Valentine made another operation, and a picture also flashed on the third monitor. Different from the previous two pictures, the entire window is divided into multiple windows, including double helix, mesh, single helix, and weird quadruple helix structure.

"Um?"

Valentine smiled. Explained: "The triple helix gene map comes from the giant snake at the Megar relay station, so I won't introduce it." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the third monitor and said: "These are the ones I have collected over the past 200 years since human beings entered the universe civilization. Map samples extracted from the biological gene bank."

"The single helix diagram is a fragment of rna, derived from a bacteriophage. The double helix diagram is the na structure diagram of a snake creature on earth. As for the net diagram. Yes, it is the p- Specimen No. 001 is the gene structure map of the Ypsidragon. The last quadruple helix is ​​the gene structure map of a worm creature from the planet 'Xonia'."

After Tang Fang digested the information, Valentine clicked the button, and saw that the triple helix on the middle monitor was fragmented, and some of the fragments were distorted and reorganized, and turned into gene maps of different structures on the third monitor.

Seeing this change, Tang Fang frowned: "This is..."

"You guessed it right." Valentine pointed to the second monitor and said, "If the genes of certain segments of the giant snake's triple helix structure are recombined, several biological structures similar to those of the third monitor will appear. The matching situation of a certain block. To put it simply, the genetic map of the giant snake is like a pot of stew, with everything."

"What's even more astonishing is that apart from carbon-based sugar components and phosphate nucleosides, the genetic constituents of the giant snake also contain a very small amount of silicon-based compounds."

"Silicon-based?" Tang Fang was stunned for a moment. If it's what Valentine said, wouldn't it mean that the giant snake is a silicon-based life to some extent.

Valentine nodded: "According to the data analysis, the structure of the silicon-based fragment of the giant snake can form a body tissue that reacts with zero element to release energy. This may be the reason why this type of creature can survive by absorbing zero element."

Silicon-based, it's no wonder that giant snakes can devour zero elements. Such high-energy substances are more effective than arsenic for carbon-based life, and are definitely natural and highly toxic substances, but if they are placed on silicon-based organisms, the situation will naturally be different.

Recalling the experience of the Megar Relay Station again, the incredible abilities of the giant snake, twins in one body, long bone swords, parasitic flying insects that destroy molecular bonds, combined with Valentine's analysis results, and the death of the one-eyed monster on Namistar. Tang Fang thought of a possibility for the thought that was actually conveyed.

"Could it be that the giant snake is a genetically engineered creature that has been artificially modulated?"

"Very likely." Valentine agreed: "The giant snake looks like a mixture of na fragments from many creatures, and the combination of some nucleotides and phosphate bonds makes no sense at all, unlike ordinary creatures. After a long evolutionary process, there are obvious signs of artificial intervention. Of course, with the level of human technology, it is impossible to concoct such perfect creatures."

"Since it's not a human creation, who could it be?" Tang Fang turned his attention to the gene model of the Ipsi Dragon: "Could it be that these epic creatures are the masterpieces of the Ipsi Dragon?"

Valentine didn't comment, just clicked the "pn" button on the console, and the triple helix structure diagram on the first monitor moved down to the bottom. Unlike the open gene chain, its root structure was closed, and the bottom part was on the monitor. It presents a black body capsule structure, and as time goes by, it will constantly change and twist, sometimes showing rhombuses, snowflakes, spirals, and irregular postures.

"Huh?" Tang Fang couldn't help frowning. The picture in front of him was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the same as the gene fragment of the s-001 specimen seen in the Rector Northern Suburbs Research Institute, which would keep changing its shape.

"Remember?" Valentine affirmed his thoughts: "That's right, it's the gene fragment of specimen s-001." After speaking, he pointed to a golden fragment above the gene fragment of specimen s-001 Said: "This part is a part of the genetic network of the Ipsi dragon. It is because of its existence that the giant snake can restrain the growth rate of phagocytic cells in the body, so that it will not become a parasitized animal by the s-001 specimen. A tyrannical and unconscious beast like a slug." (To be continued...)
