Chapter 357 The Origin of Giant Insects

It was raining heavily outside the window, Han Yuan walked out of the room to feel it for a while after taking a look.

The space shuttle was coming back at noon, and it was still raining heavily, so he was a little worried.

Walking out the door, walking a little along the eaves, a not-so-strong breeze blows past.

Judging from the wind speed, strength, and direction of blowing, this is the tail wind left after the typhoon passed through. The real typhoon had already blown nearby last night.

He has encountered this kind of situation many times during the four or five years he stayed here, and he can easily judge it.

His current base is about [-] kilometers away from the coastline, which is almost the distance from Nanjing to the East China Sea.

It is normal to be hit by typhoons at this distance. Although there are various trees and small peaks in the tropics that can weaken the wind, many typhoons can move here every year.

As for how long the tail wind lasts, this won cannot be determined, because the specific situation still depends on the size of the current typhoon and the speed of its transit.

If the tail wind lasts for a long time, it can last for about two or three days. If it is short, it will disappear in two or three hours.

Han Yuan has long been accustomed to this, and usually seldom pays attention to it.

After all, after going through [-] kilometers inland, the typhoons that can blow here are generally peripheral storms. Coupled with the obstruction of various tall trees, it basically didn't have much impact on him.

But today is different. At noon today is the day when Space Shuttle Zero returns.

Rain and storms will have a certain impact on the return and landing of the space shuttle. Although this situation has been considered in the preset order, Won is not sure whether it can resist and operate normally.

The only fortunate thing is that, through the wind direction, he calculated that the return path of the space shuttle is opposite to the path of this typhoon, and the two are not on the same route.

Otherwise, when the space shuttle lands, it happens to encounter the eye of the typhoon center or the extended storm.

"I hope this typhoon will pass soon."

After feeling the typhoon and judging the overall situation, Han Yuan sighed slightly, turned and entered the room.

Although he considered the rain, typhoon and other situations before the space shuttle went to the sky, it would be best if it could return normally without accidents.

It was [-]:[-] in the morning, and there were still six hours before the shuttle landed on its return flight.

It is impossible for the weather to clear up in a short period of time, but six hours should be enough for the typhoon to move a certain distance with the tail wind.

At that time, the space shuttle will be less affected, and in this case, the guarantee for the smooth landing of the space shuttle will be greater.

In the event of a typhoon, he can test the space shuttle, help him obtain various data and improve the program of the space shuttle.

But the basis of all this is based on the fact that the space shuttle can come back safely. If it can't come back safely, it's meaningless.

If the Zero crashes, even if the technology points can be exchanged for various parts, he will not have time to get another Zero later.

As for the overall exchange, the intermediate mall does not yet have this function.

The upgrade of the mall has been silent for a long time, and Han Yuan doesn't know if the next mission after the Starlink mission last night will have a mission to upgrade the mall.

And even if there is an overall equipment exchange function, the exchange price of a whole space shuttle is estimated to be sky-high. Seven figures are guaranteed. If it is expensive, seven figures or even eight figures are possible.

Therefore, compared with the test, South Korea hopes that the zero space shuttle can safely perform the mission to the sky and return safely every time.

The reward for the extra task is what he wants.

After making a simple breakfast, Han Yuan sat in the studio with a porcelain bowl and ate.

It was raining heavily outside, but it was already light enough to see clearly.

In the middle of eating, two birds flew in against the torrential rain and landed on the table, their brightly colored feathers were still dripping wet.

Han Yuan took a closer look, and it was Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu who had disappeared for a while.

The two big green macaws have been kept in a stocking state since he brought them back, and he basically didn't take care of them.

In the first two or three months brought back from Taishan, the two birds often dangled in front of him, and later on, I don’t know if they were familiar with it or what, but the number of appearances became less and less, from once in a few days to slowly meeting. It reappeared every ten days and a half months.

Afterwards, he only showed up once every two or three months.

Han Yuan is not worried about what will happen to these two. They have lived in the rainforest for more than ten years. They have been given genetic modification drugs, and their intelligence has been developed to a certain extent. Ordinary dangers cannot trouble them at all.

"Little Eight, Little Nine."

"Where did you go to play again? It's been so long since you came back."

Han Yuan shouted with a smile, greeted him, and handed over two corners of the fruit on the table.

"Master, we have made a big discovery!"

Xiao Jiu said excitedly, while spreading her wings and flapping, shaking off the rainwater all over her body, it also splashed Won's face.

After being splashed with water, the corner of Han Yuan's mouth twitched, just now he was being praised for his cleverness, and now he was splashed with water.

It seems that even though the injection of genetic modification drugs improves intelligence, some instincts cannot be corrected.

Wiping the rain off his face, Han Yuan took a mouthful of rice and asked casually, "What did you find?"

It's not that he doesn't pay attention, it's just his subconscious answer.

After all, in the eyes of a normal person, if two birds tell you that there is a big discovery, unless you are prepared, the subconscious will basically think that it is not a big deal.

"insect!"

"We found bugs, lots of bugs!"

Xiao Jiu stepped on the table and replied excitedly.

"Bugs? Do you still eat bugs?"

Han Yuan raised his head, glanced at Xiao Jiu's excited look, and asked curiously.

He subconsciously thought that the insect Xiaojiu mentioned was the kind of insect he understood, that is, ordinary insects, which were a kind of food for birds.

For Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, the two big green macaws, finding a lot of edible bugs is really exciting.

But immediately, Han Yuan remembered another thing.

These two little guys have never eaten insects since they were brought back. Insects usually eat all kinds of fruits, and occasionally eat some bird food left by the previous host.

Sometimes he also feeds a little rice, millet and corn, but he has never seen them eat insects or arthropods like ordinary birds.

I'm afraid the insect in Xiaojiu's mouth is not the same thing as the insect he was thinking about at first.

"We don't eat bugs."

"Those aren't bugs, they're big bugs!"

"Such a big bug!"

Xiao Jiu replied, fluttered her wings, flew up, and drew a circle in the studio, as if describing the size of the bug.

Seeing this, Han Yuan realized that Xiao Ba Xiao Jiu might have encountered those giant insects he had encountered before, and his heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat.

Swallowing, Han Yuan asked nervously, "Where did you see the bug?"

"Taishan, Xiaoba and I came back from Taishan."

"We saw a lot of bugs near Mount Tai. They almost ate up all the trees on a mountain."

Hearing this, Han Yuan frowned tightly.

Taishan, Huaguo.

These worms who don't know where they came from, are they nesting in Huaguo?
The number of trees that eat up an entire mountain is probably quite a lot.

Looks like we're going to go as soon as possible.

Whether it is to investigate the source of these giant worms or for any other reason, he must rush there as soon as possible.

"I don't know if the reproductive power of these bugs is the same as that of the Zerg in StarCraft."

A trace of worry flashed in Han Yuan's heart. Although judging from the previous encounters, the fighting power of these bugs is not very good, but if the reproductive power is as amazing as the Zerg, I am afraid that after a while, this simulated planet will completely turn into a Bug star.

This is what he does not allow.

"By the way, little eight and little nine, you come with me."

After thinking for a while, Han Yuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked out in the rain.

He thought of those Zerg specimens stored in the biological laboratory.

After killing these giant worms, he collected some limb and torso specimens.

Although not whole, what he collects are some distinctive parts.

Xiaoba and Xiaojiu may be able to recognize through the torso and limbs of these distinctive parts, whether the bugs that appeared in Huaguo and the bugs that appeared near the base are the same thing.

"Where are you going?"

Xiao Jiu yelled on the table, a little reluctantly, but still followed with fluttering wings.

After all, it's raining. Although birds can fly in rainy days, they can't fly very far, and it's even more difficult to fly when their wings are wet.

Han Yuan didn't think too much, and pushed open the door of the biology laboratory with two big green macaws.

There is a small room inside, and the low temperature is kept for [-] hours and [-] hours to maintain the temperature and stability of the room.

In addition, there are rows of freezers. The temperature inside the freezers is different, some are two or three degrees above zero, and some are below zero.

Different temperatures have different uses. The specimens taken from those giant insects were soaked in formalin solution and stored in a low-temperature environment.

Han Yuan touched the rain on his face, and quickly took out two different specimens from the small room.

These two specimens are the largest, most complete and most distinctive among the series of specimens collected at the beginning.

The first specimen was the horn of a giant unicorn.

Another specimen was the tentacled head of a giant centipede.

The two specimens were soaked in formalin, which looked extremely hideous, and the mucus flowing from the limbs stained the originally transparent formalin with turbidity.

"Is it this kind of bug?"

Han Yuan moved the two specimens in front of Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, and asked.

"This is it."

Seeing the specimens sealed in glass containers, Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu confirmed with one voice without any hesitation.

"Did you go to Mount Tai too? Master?"

"However, there are many differences on Mount Tai, and these two are only part of it."

After staring at the specimens in the glass container for a while, Xiao Jiu tilted her head and asked Han Yuan.

"I haven't been to Taishan recently. I found these bugs nearby."

Han Yuan replied, and after confirming that the giant insects that appeared near the base were the same as those that appeared on Mount Tai in Huaguo, he moved the specimens back to the small room, and returned to the living room with Ba Xiaojiu.

"Have you ever seen a bug like this before?"

After returning to the living room in the rain, Han Yuan found a towel to dry himself and Xiaoba and Xiaojiu from the rain. While wiping, he asked Xiaojiu.

"A long time ago, there were also these bugs in the Taishan base, and they were also packed in bottles, but they were taken away by the owner later."

Han Yuan's hand wiping the water stains froze, knowing that the master Xiaojiu mentioned was not referring to him, but the former host who left the Mount Tai base to him.

It seems that the previous host encountered these giant insects just like him.

Now Won can almost confirm that the accident mentioned in the previous host's "last words" refers to these giant insects that came out of nowhere.

It's just that the other party should have already dealt with the bugs he encountered back then, and still kept some specimens.

And he just met it now.

After wiping off the water stains on his body, Han Yuan fetched another hair dryer, dried his hair, and began to dry the feathers for Ba Xiaojiu.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know where these bugs come from?" Han Yuan asked, but he didn't have any hope for this question, he just asked casually.

After all, no matter how smart Xiao Jiu is, he is just a bird. If the former host of Taishan base came, he would definitely get the answer.

However, Xiao Jiu's answer surprised him again.

"I know duck."

Xiaojiu's voice reached Han Yuan's ears through the hum of the hair dryer.

Surprised, Han Yuan quickly turned off the hair dryer and looked at Xiao Jiu with half-dried feathers on the table in surprise.

"Do you know where these bugs come from?"

Xiao Jiu nodded her head in a very humane manner, and replied: "I heard from the master before that these bugs came from outside the department. The master didn't say where they came from."

After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, she spread her wings and fanned her, and then took care of her bird's beak, and then asked Han Yuan, "It's so wet and uncomfortable, can you blow it dry? Master."

"Ah, good, I'll blow dry you guys right away."

Han Yuan froze for a moment, then turned on the hair dryer again with a smile, and warm wind gushed out from the hair dryer.

These two little things are really enjoyable.

But for him, this is just a matter of convenience.

Using a hair dryer to help Xiaoba and Xiaojiu dry their feathers, Han Yuan returned to the studio, continued to finish his unfinished breakfast, and then began to pack his things.

This morning, he originally planned to continue to do resource collection tasks.

After all, in addition to the gas elements in the air, he also has some non-metallic elements that have not been purified and collected with high purity.

For example, carbon, sulfur, arsenic, etc., he has collected many compounds, but he has not collected many high-purity elemental substances.

Of these non-metallic elements, the only ones he has collected that can reach more than 90.00% nine should be silicon and phosphorus.

However, the news brought back by Xiaoba and Xiaojiu made him suspend the processing of these non-metallic elements first, and he had to go to Huaguo first to see what was going on there.
