Chapter 142 Directional Corrosion

After Lu Ming finished speaking, there was still only the sound of He Wei's scattered and rapid breathing in the video screen. It seemed that she had not heard Lu Ming's words at all.

Lu Ming waited for a moment, and just when he was about to say something more, He Wei finally spoke.

"The kind roasted with lychee wood, the kind of roast goose? I, I have eaten it before, and it tastes good, very, delicious."

Seeing He Wei finally replying, Lu Ming perked up.

But it seems that food like roast goose is not enough to stimulate He Wei's strong appetite. She may like it more, but she probably won't be able to forget it.

This won't work.

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said decisively: "It's similar to that, but the method is a little different. This is the exclusive method of a relative of mine in Guangdong and Guangxi. Their home is in the mountains, and they have to walk two hours on the winding mountain road to reach the mountain. foot, and then climb more than a thousand steps to reach their village. It is a small village with only a few hundred people in total."

He Wei's attention seemed to be focused a little: "In the mountains?"

Lu Ming knew that for a gourmet like He Wei, food from desolate and inaccessible places such as deep mountains and distant seas seemed to have a special bonus. It seems that the same kind of ingredients will always taste better if they come from that place.

"Yes, from the mountains. I stayed at that relative's house for a few days a few years ago, and they made it for me. The geese there are all unique to the local species. They usually keep free-range, eating wild fruits and drinking stream water."

He Wei hesitated and said: "If you exercise a lot, you will be better at meat and firewood."

"Won't."

Lu Ming categorically denied: "Before slaughtering, they will keep the geese in a pen and keep it for half a month before killing it. The initial method is similar to the ordinary roast goose, that is, when marinating, they will use a wild spice there. , the taste is very special, hard to describe. When roasting, it is not lychee wood, but a kind of wild fruit wood. I have eaten that kind of wild fruit, which is a bit like a pear, uh, maybe a wild pear."

"What does it taste like?"

Lu Ming recounted as he recalled: "The meat is not fat, but it is not hard either. It feels a little chewy, slightly spicy and sweet. It is delicious. I can't describe it."

"Can goose meat be made chewy?"

He Wei's words were slightly unbelievable.

"Yes, it does have some chewiness. Especially the big pieces of meat. When I was on the mountain, I saw that when they were making it, they seemed to have to marinate it for a while."

"You need to stew the goose for roasting it? Isn't this roast goose?"

"How do I know? This is how they do it. They call it roast goose locally. Maybe it's different from the one outside?"

"No, I have to try it."

Lu Ming perked up and said, "Okay, I'll take you there when the time comes. It's my relative's house, and they are very friendly to me. I told them in advance and asked them to pen up the geese first."

"Um...can't you eat outside?"

"This is their local recipe. Where can you get it outside? If you follow this recipe, how much will it cost? Who will buy it? If you want to eat authentic food, you have to eat it locally."

He Wei thoughtfully said: "Yes, the cost is too high."

"Just go to my relatives' house to eat. I'm not bragging. The scenery there is really nice. There is a creek next to their village. The water in the creek is half a meter deep at most. There are many fish and the fish tastes very fresh. You can also dig in the mountains. Bamboo shoots, you can pick mushrooms and fry them with their bacon, the taste..."

"Yes, I must go there."

"That time, my relative's brother took me into the mountains..."

Lu Ming salivated and tried his best to remember while telling He Wei. From what he told, that remote and backward mountain village seemed to have some kind of magical power that could make the ingredients taste more delicious. No matter how ordinary things were, they would undergo strange changes when they arrived there.

Until Lu Ming felt a little short of words and didn't know what to say anymore, next to him, the captain of the rescue team finally said the words that several people had been waiting for.

"The rescue team has arrived!"

Lu Ming perked up.

"He Wei, hold on a little longer, the rescue team has arrived!"

"Don't worry about the rescue team! Please tell me in more detail, how are the loaches made there? Do you add chili pepper?"

Lu Ming was startled and could only say: "Let it go, people there like to eat spicy food..."

While talking, he looked at the captain of the rescue team. The captain of the rescue team understood and immediately said: "So far, we have not received reports of fear from the rescue team members. However, their heartbeat and blood pressure data have experienced some abnormal fluctuations, but they are all within the tolerable range. "

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

While he was trying his best to talk and stall for time, he was observing the outside world through the lens on He Wei's helmet. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps and saw rescue team members wearing heavy protective clothing and stab-proof bulletproof clothing finally arriving at He Wei's side.

Finally persisted to this moment.

The rescuers brought automatic lifting equipment that they had not been able to carry before. After installing it, they easily lifted the team members and He Wei, who was temporarily incapacitated. The group quickly began to evacuate.

When people's figures finally appeared at the end of the passage under the Binhai Building, Lu Ming finally let go of his heart.

This means that He Wei and the No. 2 soldier are completely out of danger.

He Wei, who finally escaped from danger, looked very tired. After meeting Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan, she fell asleep under supervision. At this time, Lu Ming's attention returned to the case again.

"Have the remains of the Bacteria King been taken for testing?"

"Report to Sergeant Lu, it has been taken for testing. The analysis team said the results will be out in about four hours."

"good."

While waiting for the results to appear, a regular meeting was held again in which He Wei was absent.

"Currently, destroying the 'Bacteria King' will not help solve the problem of the Lou Shen, but will only anger it more."

Lu Ming sounded slightly guilty: "I'm sorry, it's my responsibility."

Lu Qingliang shook his head slowly, and Zhang Dingshan said: "No one can know the outcome before doing something. You are not responsible for this incident."

Lu Qingliang also said: "As long as you don't do things, you will never make mistakes, but that is no good."

Lu Ming was silent for a moment and said: "I am a little worried that if the building god has been angered, then the damage rate of the wall structure of Binhai Building will increase again."

The angry building god can command the fungus to secrete fear toxins regardless of the consequences. Naturally, it can also corrode wall materials regardless of the consequences, accelerate the destruction of the Binhai Building, and accelerate the process of breaking the dragon-suppressing pile formation.

"I have asked the building restoration team to monitor closely, and the results will be available after a period of time. Now, everyone has been busy for so long, so let's rest first."

Lying on the bed in the lounge, Lu Ming was obviously very tired, but still not sleepy at all.

He realized that with the King of Bacteria being destroyed but not having any effect, but worsening the situation, he had almost lost control of the situation, solved the murderous house incident at a relatively small cost, and eliminated the crisis of the fear of bacterial leakage. A means.

I even took the risk to explore the underground cave, and even took the risk to destroy the Germ King. What else can be done?

Is it true that we can only rely on the last resort, a hydrogen bomb, to completely eliminate these threats and completely destroy the fungal race?

Lu Ming was not reconciled to this ending. This is not only because Action Team Two has been busy on this matter for so long and has paid so much, but also because, after all, this is a city, a city with millions of residents...

Between tossing and turning, a few hours passed quietly. When Zhang Dingshan issued the assembly order, he stood up again, washed his face and came to the conference room.

"The analysis results of the remains of the Bacteria King are out."

Zhang Dingshan operated, and an enlarged picture of the wreckage appeared on the projector in the conference room. Lu Ming saw dense ridges and depressions from above, not even at all.

"Experts believe that the previous stone carvings of the King of Fungi were not actually carved. They did not detect corresponding traces of stress or metal residue. They believe that this is more like corrosion by some kind of directional corrosion process."

Lu Qingliang asked: "Corrosion? This was originally a whole stone, and then different doses of corrosives were added to different parts, and it was corroded bit by bit until it looked like this?"

"Yes. Not only that, experts compared the damaged state of the Binhai Building's building materials with the corroded state of the King of Fungi's remains, and found that the two are very similar. Although it is impossible to be sure, there is a high probability that they are based on the same model. "

Lu Ming nodded slowly.

Although there is no final proof, this basically reveals the truth.

The stone carvings of the Bacteria King are corroded by tiny terrestrial bacteria one by one.

A tiny terrestrial bacteria with no intelligence, only instinct, can actually work together to corrode a shape that is the same as its own body after enlargement?

This is a very strange situation. But given the current events, it is very reasonable. After all, with the command of Lou Shen, it is not surprising that the Dreadbacteria can do anything.

There is only one question left. In other words, what did the God of Floor command the Dreadbacterium to do to create such a thing? Or to put this question in another form, what does the Stone Sculpture of the Bacteria King mean to the Tower God? Why would the Tower God be completely angered if we destroyed the Stone Sculpture of King Fungi?

The forms are different, but these questions are actually just the same question.

The conference room fell into silence.

Lu Ming conceived several possibilities, but because there was no evidence and they all seemed too nonsense, he did not speak out in the end.

While several people were thinking, a person in charge of the building inspection team sent a communication request.

Gathering their minds, the three of them simultaneously focused their attention on the person in charge.

In the projector, the leader of the building restoration team wearing a hard hat and protective clothing stood in front of the Marina Building full of support columns, looking vaguely anxious.

"Sergeant Zhang, Chief Lu. Through monitoring, our team found that during these few hours, the temperature inside the walls of Binhai Building increased by about 0.1 degrees Celsius."

Lu Ming was startled.

The temperature increased by 0.1 degrees Celsius? what does that mean?

The person in charge immediately explained: "The corrosive substance reacts with the Binhai Building wall material, and a certain amount of heat will be released. But the heat is very weak. The Binhai Building wall is not too thick, and there is no contact with the outside world. Under the mechanism of sufficient heat exchange, under normal circumstances, we cannot detect obvious temperature increases."

"0.1 degrees Celsius... is an obvious temperature increase?"

"right."

Lu Ming was silent.

This obviously means that at this moment, inside the wall of Binhai Building, the reaction between the corrosive substance and the wall material has reached a certain level. And this means that the rate of wall damage has once again greatly increased.

After the Tower God was angered, he accelerated his pace of destroying the dragon-suppressing pile formation in an attempt to get out of trouble.

This is bad news again.

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Now, how long will it take for the probability of overall damage to Binhai Building to rise to 50%?"

50% is an important node. The world government will use this node as a benchmark to start the overall relocation and evacuation of Yangyuan City one month in advance. All residents living in this city will be moved to other places. Anything of sufficient value will be carted away.

More than one million people have been displaced from their homes and have since lost their homes.

Once the relocation is complete, the hydrogen bomb will come and destroy everything.

The leader of the building restoration team pondered for a moment and said: "It is impossible to predict too accurately. But it should be between 35-45 days."

Previously, the building repair team's prediction was that the probability of overall structural damage to the Marina Building would increase to 50% within at least two months, or 60 days. Now, the time has been reduced by 15 to 25 days.

"Has this result been reported?"

"Just reported it."

"good."

Communication was cut off and the conference room was silent again. After a long time, Zhang Dingshan said: "The notice from superiors should be coming soon."

Just as he said, less than half an hour later, Li Wenhua's figure appeared on the projector.

At this moment, his expression was more solemn than ever.

"The superiors have made a decision. From now on, several cities around Yangyuan City will immediately begin secret preparations to receive relocated residents and relocation materials. At 10 a.m. on the sixth day, a relocation and evacuation notice will be officially issued to Yangyuan City."

"What's the reason?"

Lu Ming knew that it didn't matter what the reason was. But he still murmured and subconsciously asked this question.

Li Wenhua said: "Unexplained geological activities have occurred in the area where the Yangyuan Reservoir is located, which may cause the Yangyuan Reservoir to burst and flood the entire city."

Yangyuan Reservoir is a large reservoir. If it breaks, it can easily flood the entire city.

Lu Ming was silent.

"You still have about seven days to try to change the fate of more than one million people. But..."

Li Wenhua paused, sighed, and shook his head slightly subconsciously: "I know you tried your best, but you should not put too much psychological burden on me. I don't blame you."
