Chapter 284 A Kind of Patina

After lying on the bed and checking his phone for a while, replying to some messages and checking the time, Feng Yi made a video call to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu has been immersed in several small studies recently. In order not to disturb his research, Feng Yi made an appointment with Xiao Wu in advance.

Xiaowu, who was far away in Yangcheng, also stared at the time. Although today's small research had not been completed, he still put aside his work an hour in advance while thinking about what Feng Yi might encounter when he went on the mission this time. question while waiting for Feng Yi’s call.

He intuitively felt that Feng Yi's call would bring him a little surprise.

When the time came, Xiao Wu quickly picked up the phone as soon as it rang.

"Boss, did this mission go well?"

Xiaowu also read various news about Feng Yi on the Internet. He did not believe the literal information reported in the news.

After glancing at Feng Yi on the other side of the video, he seemed to be in good condition and had only lost a little weight.

"It's not bad." Feng Yi didn't say much about this mission and said directly to Xiao Wu, "I brought a special kind of rock and asked Xiao Ding to bring it back to you. You can keep it. You can study it if you want."

Xiaowu perked up, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Rock? What kind of rock is it?"

Feng Yi hesitated for a moment. He couldn't elaborate on the cave of his ancestors, so he thought of a more obscure description.

"You can think of it as a special material that forms on the rock surface over time... just like the patina on an antique plate."

Xiaowu: "...I seem to understand."

Recalling carefully, Xiao Wu said: "Based on what I learned from my seniors and the information I collected myself, what you are talking about should be - body surface secretions, energy rays, and various factors in special environments, etc." Wait, under the combined effect of years of accumulation, a special 'shell' is formed in the cave?"

Feng Yi: "Yes!"

Xiao Wu really knows this!

However, Feng Yi thought of what Xiao Wu had said just now, "I learned it from my seniors", and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Has anyone studied it before?"

Xiao Wu said: "If it is really like that, seniors would have been studying it decades ago."

There is no need to say clearly who this "seniors" refers to.

In addition to his aunt, there is also his own team.

Feng Yi was curious: "Isn't it the Ancestor Company?"

Xiao Wu explained: "No. The Ancestral Factory specializes in studying venom, and the one that studies rocks is another team, founded by your aunt, Ms. Feng. It should now be in the hands of Ms. Feng's daughter, your cousin."

"Tell me what you know." Feng Yi was really interested in this, mainly because he wanted to know what the research had revealed.

Xiao Wu: "I don't know much. As far as I know, the team that studies rocks does not study rocks to the outside world, but special synthetic materials. They cooperate with some large research institutes and key laboratories. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wu pointed to the top of his head, "It also involves some matters at the military level."

"The three coatings and a new material that were initially developed based on raw materials are not only waterproof, anti-oxidation, high and low temperature resistant, anti-microbial adhesion, etc., these are basic functions. The new special materials can also Effective protection against certain harmful rays!”

"Up to now, more than ten kinds of materials have been developed. As for how many successful researches have not been made public, I don't know. This is the core secret of the company. That materials company, no, it should be a large group now , a giant that is much larger than when it was first founded.”

"The special materials developed have a wide range of applications, from deep-sea diving to land combat to aerospace. They are found in many important fields..."

After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Feng Yi couldn't help but think:

Perhaps, the materials used in certain parts of the ships, planes, and satellites overhead are related to that kind of "pattern".

It’s just that everyone doesn’t know it.

I can’t let everyone know either.

Question was born in the laboratory.

As for the root cause, it is top secret and cannot be said.

Feng Yi was not the first one to "study myself". Before him, there were aunts and probably many seniors who had done similar things.

Or perhaps, some common objects in life originated from the "I study myself" of a certain predecessor.

Seeing that Feng Yi remained silent, Xiao Wu thought that Feng Yi was worried or regretful, so he continued:

"The current R&D personnel of that materials research team probably don't know the core secrets, nor do they know what the 'source material' is. They are just further developing on the original research results."

Observing Feng Yi's expression, Xiao Wu asked tentatively: "Boss, do you want to form another research team to study the patina... well, this kind of rock?"

Feng Yi shook his head, "No, it's not necessary."

He does plan to form a team to study this if no one is studying it. But since someone has already started researching it and has produced a lot of results, there is no need for him to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources in this. There is no advantage and there is no need to compete for jobs.

Xiaowu smiled and said: "Boss, you don't need to envy them. In fact, one ancestor factory is enough."

Feng Yi agreed with this.

Venom alone is enough for them to study.

This is unique to Feng Yi, and its toxicity is more intense and its ingredients more complex than the previous generation, or even the predecessors in many clans.

It is more toxic and dangerous, but it also means it has higher research value.

Xiao Wu comforted him: "Because many important projects have a long R&D cycle, the benefits are not obvious now."

Feng Yi thought about the large amount of money that was added to his bank account every month, took a deep breath, and remained silent about the description of "the benefits are not obvious yet".

Xiao Wu continued: "When those big projects have results, the drugs are gradually developed, and the benefits brought to you, you can easily change a new luxury private jet every year!"

Feng Yi: "..."

Although I have known the research value of venom for a long time, every time I hear such words, I can't help but my heartbeat speeds up!

Take another breath without leaving any trace, and keep your face steady.

Feng Yi: "Well, I know all this. Xiao Ding will bring the rock back to Yangcheng tomorrow."

"Okay! I will keep the sample well!"

Xiao Wu is still very interested in this patina... cough, this special rock.

The experimental team studying rock materials and the experimental team studying venom are developing independently. Therefore, Xiao Wu cannot participate in any research projects on rock materials, nor can he learn more. What he can know and find are all the information that they are willing to release.

And the longer Xiao Wu was in contact with Feng Yi, a special race, the more he knew that many secrets were hidden in places that no one could see and would not be announced to the public.

For example, those special materials, who would have thought that these materials came from the wall of a cave in a certain mountain range?

Who would have thought that it was actually a kind of "patina"? !

He was willing to be a private doctor with no reputation beside Feng Yi, just to satisfy more curiosity and explore more secrets that ordinary people could not touch. Such a life would be more interesting, wouldn't it?

No regrets!

Doctor Xiao Wu sighed in his heart and took action immediately after the call. Before Xiao Ding came back, he adjusted his work plan and must treat this rare patina with the best mental state... cough, special materials.

Over there, Feng Yi finished talking to Xiao Wu and made a video call to the housekeeper.

At this time, the housekeeper should not be busy.

As usual, the housekeeper answered the call quickly.

It's just that the camera was turned off and turned on after a while.

Feng Yi looked at the phone screen.

In the video, the butler seemed to have hurriedly covered something with a piece of cloth.

Looking at the scene over there, Feng Yi asked: "Are you making a model?"

The butler smiled: "Yes."

"It's getting late, please protect your eyes." Feng Yi said, and wanted to find out if he could find anything else in the video, such as what kind of model the butler was making.

Unfortunately, the butler's protection measures were too good, and it was completely impossible to tell what the model was like.

I don't know if there was any private goods, such as adding some details that shouldn't exist.

After not seeing each other for a while, the butler saw Feng Yi, the smile on his face deepened, and then frowned slightly, "Thinner!"

Feng Yi: "Small problem, I'll make up for it soon."

After chatting with the butler about daily life for a while, Feng Yi mentioned the mountains where he was on this mission and asked:

"Has my aunt been to the mountains many times before?"

The butler replied: "As far as I know, not many. As for what I don't know, it's hard to say."

Feng Yi expressed his understanding.

The housekeeper didn't gain the trust of the aunt very early, so he might not know what the aunt did when she was young. During the abnormal climate period, the social instability and global turmoil made it easier to go to sea and less likely to be discovered. When they had grown to a certain stage, they wanted to find a suitable place to shed their skin. Compared with the mountains, it was better to go to the sea.

The mountains can produce energy substances, but the generation speed is too slow and the amount is not large.

The mountains are indeed a good place, but they are not enough to support growth and development after a hundred years.

They may not even make it to eighty years old.

Feng Yi didn't dare to compare his lifespan with his ancestors. He thought that it would be good if he was not much shorter than the aunt.

He chatted with the housekeeper for a while before ending the call.

In the house in Yangcheng.

After talking to Feng Yi, the housekeeper sat by the window, took off his glasses, and looked out the window without focus.

He recalled the conversation he had with that person.

At that time, Ms. Feng was about to die, and the successor chose Feng Yi.

At that time, Feng Yi was a complete stranger to the housekeeper.

When he got the information of the heir, the butler just scanned it casually. He knew that the information he could find was not important.

He asked: "What kind of person is Feng Yi? Will he have stronger talent?"

What did Ms. Feng answer at that time?

"Feng Yi..."

"I don't know what his talent is, but I hope he doesn't have to be too strong, so that he can live longer."

The butler knew that the current environment on this planet was not so friendly to this special group.

It was as if this planet had drawn a lifeline for the individuals of this group, limiting them to a certain stage of development. When they reached this stage, their lives would come to an end.

The more talented the individual, the sooner they would meet the deadline.

"You don't need to be too smart, and you don't need to have a strong talent. You can be ordinary and mediocre. Maybe you can live for more than 100 years. That's also a kind of luck."

In order to survive, the inhibitory gene will issue a warning.

Perhaps tens of millions of years later, in order for the individuals to continue to survive, the inhibitory genes in the genetic material will take further control and make them younger and less energy-consuming individuals.

Generation after generation, more genes are silent, and individuals gradually become ordinary.

Perhaps, one day in the future, all genes will be dormant, and no one will become this form.

The housekeeper lifted the cover, revealing the unfinished prototype model of Feng Yi that had just been covered.

Based on the anaconda, people imagine what the Titanoboa looked like 60 million years ago.

Based on the legend, people describe the appearance of a certain tribe.

But imagination is only imagination after all.

"It's better to be alive."

After a while, the housekeeper sighed again, "It's better to be stupid."

So young, so pitiful.
