Chapter 342 Meteor

Pan Weining was shocked when he received the message. He was not concerned about whether the club could be bought, but the content of the message sent by his uncle.

The amount of information was too much!

Although he had heard from the elders at home that his uncle had many ideas and changed very quickly, perhaps one idea a day. But this time, it was less than a day, one idea in the morning, and another in the afternoon!

What kind of stimulation did he receive? !

How much stimulation can cause such a change? !

Not knowing whether the other party was convenient to answer the phone, Pan Weining sent a text message directly to ask.

However, Uncle Wei did not reveal too much.

Pan Weining could see from his uncle's text message that Uncle Wei was in a good mood and looked very motivated, not like he was hit.

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

Afterwards, Pan Weining read the messages sent by his uncle today again. He suspected that his uncle's change of mind was related to the rat tide.

He had limited information about the rat tide, and there were discussions on the Internet, some of which were well-founded and some were pure nonsense.

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

After all, he is an expert of the Joint Security Bureau, so he always has some information channels.

"Feng Yi, I want to ask you something. Today, the section of the road where my uncle passed by has a large number of rats. Do you know the reason? Or have you heard the explanation of an authoritative expert?"

After the abnormal climate period, with the multi-pronged containment measures, although there are still rat tides, the frequency is much lower. There must be a reason for each occurrence.

Feng Yi did see one of the expert groups discussing this matter.

"It is still under investigation, but I have seen the discussions of several experts. It may be that the continuous drought caused the rats to migrate to the main grain-producing areas. After that, the climate change and the sudden heavy rainfall caused the rats that were originally scattered everywhere to gather together.

"With water and food, there is no shortage of food and water, and the desire of rats to reproduce increases, which has led to this large-scale rat tide. ”

In terms of climate, small fluctuations in the past two years have been predicted. Meetings of various departments mentioned this last year and emphasized it many times at the beginning of this year.

Preventing rat clusters and preparing for a rainy day may not be completely prevented, but it will definitely be controlled within a certain range.

The current situation is much worse than expected, which means that someone has failed in their duties. As the investigation progresses, a group of people will definitely be punished.

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

Pan Weining also knew what Feng Yi said. Many rat tides in the past had similar reasons.

Looking at it this way, there is nothing special.

So, what exactly changed my uncle's mind?

On the other side.

As the rat tide passed, the vehicle that started again continued to drive along the scheduled route.

In the car.

Uncle Wei was discussing with his friends in the laboratory.

His new idea was not supported by the other side, but as an investor, Uncle Wei was determined and confident.

"I will invest in the development of rat poison!"

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

“I changed my mind. Since we haven’t signed the contract yet, it’s not a breach of contract. Will you do the research? !”

“No, Lao Wei…”

“If you do this project, I will double… triple the investment!”

“… Lao Wei, I didn’t say I won’t do it! Start the project! Start the project right away!”

The person on the other end of the phone was thinking: Isn’t it just rat poison? What a simple thing!

Even if there is a loss, it’s the sponsor’s fault!

Anyway, the additional funds are enough for their laboratory to upgrade the equipment!

Once the funds were agreed, both parties were satisfied.

The person on the other end 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 time you open the lid, all the temperature changes and environmental factors in this process must be recorded in detail. 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.”

Those in their line of work know 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 play a role in it, and we have to find them accurately! In case the functional material inside changes, you send [Y] to the company laboratory as soon as possible! "

Uncle Wei also had the same idea: "I know, you guys should also prepare a new project quickly."

He couldn't care about anything else now, everything was based on this.

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

The person on the other end of the phone agreed: "Otherwise why are so many people obsessed with it! When [Y] came out, it was called a 'global feast' in the industry! Not one region or one country, but the world! There is endless wealth hidden in it!"

After the excitement, it returned to reality.

The other end said: "But, Lao Wei, this is definitely not enough."

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

The other end: "Now the ancestral factory is gradually relaxing its restrictions on private enterprises and will release some purchase quotas. But the quota is limited each time, and the competition is fierce. ”

Uncle Wei: “I know. I will continue to submit the application there and think about whether I can buy another tube through other channels.”

Uncle Wei was thankful. Fortunately, he got some money back from selling the meteorite, otherwise he really couldn’t afford it!

The laboratory is too expensive!

Over there: "Be sure to pay attention to the refrigerated box next time you buy it!"

"You don't have to say that!"

Uncle Wei's eyes flashed with anger.

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

The other side reminded: "When you are looking for a way out, you can secretly ask who bought [Y]. If it is not stored properly, or there is a large amount of material in it deactivated due to other reasons, you can also buy it back from us." try."

Uncle Wei nodded: "It makes sense. However, given how precious [Y] is now, this situation is extremely rare. Even if the ingredients inside change due to accidental reasons, those big teams will definitely let their students practice. They will not easily transfer it to others. "

The other side said in despair: "Yes, there are too many secrets hidden in [Y]. No one knows whether the so-called 'deactivation' really loses all its effects. Maybe there is a balance in it. When some active substances fail When the time comes, other functional substances come into play.”

Uncle Wei strongly agrees with this statement.

you do not say!

Just like this time, it was obvious that improper preservation caused many of the active substances to become ineffective, but the reaction of the rats clearly told him that there was still something working inside!

If you hadn’t experienced this before, [Y] might not have such an obvious rat-repelling effect!

"The Ancestral Factory is really a magical company. How on earth did they develop such a magical thing?"

Toga Town.

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

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

The desert area is one of the most suitable areas in the world for finding meteorites. It is known as a natural dry box for preserving meteorites. Meteorite can often be preserved for a long time at the landing site.

The location where they are now is not a meteorite-rich area, but a check-in point for a well-known local internet celebrity.

Wen Zhiyu pointed to the darker 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 used to be enclosed as a teaching area, and there were teachers who specialized in it. It teaches people to identify which meteorites are real and which are fake. Now the teaching area is gone and it has become a local internet celebrity check-in point. People who come here come here to pose for pictures. "

Feng Yi picked up a stone from the ground. For him, there is no difficulty in distinguishing, but if it is just a photo, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

"You can pick up any stones in this area?" Feng Yi asked.

"Pick it up casually, without an owner. Many tourists who come here to take pictures will pick up one or two pieces and take them back as souvenirs. Some people will continue to throw stones here anyway. This is one of the local places suitable for taking pictures. If there are not enough stones for decoration, We won’t 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 real meteorites?" Feng Yi was curious.

"Maybe it's because the popularity of meteorites has dropped, the trading volume is small, the market has little splash, and the management is not strict. Do you want to pick up a few pieces and go back to play?" Wen Zhiyu asked.

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

"Yes, comparison can enhance identification 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 tests.

Feng Yi picked three stones, with different sizes. The smallest one was about the size of an adult's fist, and the largest one 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 three stones.

Wen Zhiyu thought of the day at the paintball club when he was thrown away by Feng Yi.

Come on, I don’t need help at all with my strength!

"Do you keep vigil at night to watch shooting stars? The sky here is quite suitable for stargazing." Wen Zhiyu asked.

Pan Weining was not interested in this. People like them who often ran outside saw meteors more often than the average person.

"Is this time supposed to be the Perseid meteor shower? It's not like we haven't seen it before. Besides, this year's peak period has passed, and you may not be able to see one even if you stay up all night."

Meteor showers named after constellations only refer to the direction, not to the celestial fragments emitted from those distant galaxies.

Periodic meteor showers are generally associated with comets.

Every time a comet gets closer to the sun, it moves along its orbit. Our planet orbits the sun and has a close intersection with the comet's orbit. Every time it passes near the comet's orbit, debris from the comet will be scattered into the atmosphere and form a meteor shower.

For example, the familiar Halley's Comet. The parent comet of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower in May and the Orionid meteor shower in October is Halley's Comet.

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

The current point in time where Feng Yi and the others are at is the Perseid meteor shower. It’s just that many days have passed since the peak period.

Pan Weining is only interested in the extreme meteor showers. At other times, the flow is not large, and sometimes he can’t even get one for several days.

Of course Wen Zhiyu knew it, but he didn't care. He said with a smile: "The active period has not completely passed, and we will definitely still see the meteors from this meteor group. I won't just watch it by myself. I am going to set up a camera. This It’s good to have a machine to keep an eye on this kind of thing, maybe you can get a surprise!”

Pan Weining was more rational. He was not optimistic: "Even if the distribution structure of the dust particles of the parent comet is not clear, the maximum period has passed and it is about to leave the orbital area. There are not so many "little garbage" falling down. Don't have too much hope at this time."

Wen Zhiyu disagreed: "What are you talking about "garbage"! How can you call it garbage! It's called a celestial body! Such a beautiful thing, you make it look bad!"

Speaking of this, Wen Zhiyu began to fantasize again: "Hey, it would be great if a meteor fell to the ground."

Pan Weining ruthlessly interrupted his fantasy: "So I said "little garbage", which makes up a meteor. The stars in the star shower are all very small, and they burn into ashes in the atmosphere. "

Wen Zhiyu's romantic feelings were aroused, and the two stones he picked up in his hand knocked loudly: "What if? ! What if a meteor falls down!"

Pan Weining looked up at the sky: "That is an extrastellar meteor. It's not the Perseus you are staring at."

Wen Zhiyu threw the stone in his hand far away, watching it draw a parabola in the sky and fall to the ground, "It will be a meteorite if it falls down!"

Wen Zhiyu turned his head and looked at Feng Yi who had been silent: "Feng Yi, what do you think?"

Feng Yi...

Feng Yi felt a little guilty.

"Well, maybe. Nothing is absolute."

Wen Zhiyu laughed and patted Feng Yi on the shoulder. In fact, he also knew what Pan Weining said, and he agreed rationally.

But people always fantasize about the one in ten thousand possibility of wonderful things happening.

Several people returned to their residence from the Gobi area.

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

Still clean.

Wen Zhiyu thought they had consumed too much outside today, so they ate so much.

Pan Weining beside him smiled but said nothing.

Feng Yi also smiled, looking like he agreed.

After the meal, everyone was busy with their own things.

Wen Zhiyu went to set up his camera, ready to use the camera to shoot the sky all night.

Pan Weining talked to his family.

And Feng Yi...

sat cross-legged on the carpet.

There were several stones in front of him.

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

These were the materials he used for the experiment tonight.

Feng Yi sat cross-legged for a while, feeling uncomfortable, and it was not comfortable to sit cross-legged when he was not in his original form.

But he was not in his own territory, so he could only maintain this mimicry.

He changed his posture again.

Picked up the meteorite containing energy substances.

He must first learn the techniques of his ancestors in playing with meteorites, and then practice with other stones.

Recently, Zhang said that the display was abnormal and would recover in a few days.
