"… Sob, alcohol, I can still drink …"
"Okay, okay, it's a draw! A draw! "Seeing that Natasha was about to drink again, Jiang Chen quickly grabbed the bottle from her hand.
He really didn't dare to let her drink anymore.
It was the first time he saw someone who could drink vodka like it was beer.
If he let her drink anymore, he would have to call an ambulance …
"No — Okay! I can still drink! Give me the alcohol … "
But at this moment, Natasha suddenly stood up and jumped at Jiang Chen who took away her bottle. She pushed him to the ground from the stool.
After a series of clanking sounds, the wooden floor was full of things.
Natasha, lying on Jiang Chen's body, muttered drunkenly, and reached for the bottle in Jiang Chen's hand. "How could I lose … Impossible."
This girl's alcohol tolerance is terrible!
Jiang Chen looked at Natasha hanging on his body speechlessly. He looked at Xia Shiyu for help, but only a cold stare responded to him.
"I still have work tomorrow … You guys should rest early. Don't stay up too late."
Xia Shiyu, wrapped in a bathrobe, sighed and disappeared from the corner of the balcony, leaving Jiang Chen with her back view.
Jiang Chen then looked at Ayesha, asking for help.
The reality was hopeless.
Even the most obedient and gentle Ayesha subtly looked away and pretended to enjoy the scenery.
Jiang Chen felt the deep malice from the world.
But to be honest, it felt good to be pressed against his body by that softness.
Especially those blood-red lips, which exhaled a slightly warm breath that carried a hint of intoxicating smell of alcohol. At this moment, she was like a tender and beautiful red apple, the kind that was ripe. Just looking at her made people want to take a bite.
Maybe it would be nice to stay in this position for a while?
Just as Jiang Chen thought about it and began to gradually relax the muscles on his shoulders, a bad feeling suddenly crept into his mind.
Looking at Natasha who began to pant, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of something. His expression changed drastically as he tried to hold onto the soft shoulder. However, Natasha, who was holding him like an octopus, fixed him in her soft bosom, unable to move.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait … Hold it in, wait for me to get up, I'll take you to the bathroom, don't do it here — Holy shit!"
Too late!
"Ugh —!"
Lying on Jiang Chen's chest, her delicate red lips vomited without warning.
Because the scene was too tragic, words were no longer suitable to describe it.
The camera turned to the side. Ayesha, who was leaning against the balcony door with her arms crossed, nodded at her wise decision of not intervening.
Generally speaking, Natasha wouldn't get drunk. At least, Ayesha didn't see it many times.
But if drunk.
He would definitely vomit to his heart's content …
When Jiang Chen was not there, she, who loved to clean the house, often got mad at Natasha …
…
The next day, there was news from Calvin that Celestial City's laboratory made new progress in the study of Devil Worm eggs.
After he finished breakfast listlessly, Jiang Chen left the door with dark circles under his eyes. He sat in the front passenger seat and let Xia Shiyu drive him to the company.
Jiang Chen asked the beautiful assistant to make a cup of coffee, leaned back in the chair, yawned, and called the Celestial City laboratory.
Soon, Verdell Taylor's face appeared on the other side of the holographic screen.
The chemist and biologist from Germany was indeed a capable guy. Because he made quite a few amazing discoveries in the research of Devil Worm and made great contributions to the progress of research, he was now elected as the person in charge of the entire project.
Without too much small talk, Verdell Taylor reported to Jiang Chen the latest research progress on the eggs.
"… Their incubation period is very short. It can be as short as four weeks and as long as six weeks. We found a larva in these eggs that is about to end its incubation period and is now being cultivated in an artificial incubator. If there are no accidents, we can get the larvae of Devil Worm in a week at the latest. "
"How long does it take for larvae to grow into adults?" Jiang Chen asked.
"With sufficient organic matter and a suitable temperature, the theoretical estimate is twenty weeks. By then, they will grow to two meters and can already start to hunt. After that, they can grow 1-0.8 meters every ten weeks and enter a growth stagnation period after the length reaches 15 to 25 meters. "
"What about their lifespan? How long can they live? "Jiang Chen asked immediately.
"Through previous specimens combined with DNA analysis, it can theoretically reach 50 years," Verdell Taylor said seriously. "They can enter dormancy in extreme environments, slowly replenish oxygen in the blood, and reduce the consumption of oxygen and organic matter. They spend 80% of their life sleeping and 10% of their time hunting. "
[Fifty years?]
[The difficulty of eradicating this thing is not small.]
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and asked nonchalantly.
"What about the other 10%?"
"They're mating," Verdell Taylor said with a shrug.
"…"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen asked.
"Is there any good news?"
"Of course, this is what I'm going to say next." Verdell Taylor nodded, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. "When we studied the larvae of the Devil Worm, we found that the vocal cords of this Devil Worm are abnormally developed in the embryo stage. However, the strange thing is that after adulthood, they do not rely on sound to transmit information, but use the antennae and secretions that are usually contracted in the abdominal cavity. "
Because he didn't understand, Jiang Chen quietly waited for Dr. Verdell Taylor to continue.
"Later, after careful research, we found an organ in their bodies with a function comparable to a 'shock wave analyzer'!" Verdell Taylor's voice carried a hint of excitement. "We have seen this phenomenon in bats, but its function is obviously more powerful!"
"Relying on this special organ, they are very sensitive to the frequency and direction of the shock wave, and can even distinguish the speed and direction of prey through the change in frequency! It is with this ability that they can easily lock the position of prey and the oxygen supply layer several kilometers deep underground. "
"Is this good news?" Jiang Chen smiled and said helplessly.
"Of course!" Verdell Taylor nodded affirmatively and said excitedly, "Only by understanding them can we know how to deal with them! After studying the larvae of the Devil Worm, we successfully found the frequency of the shock wave that is most easily captured by them, and now we are testing it with frontline researchers. If our conclusion is eventually proven to be feasible, we can artificially create this' noise '. "
When Jiang Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He already understood what Dr. Verdell Taylor wanted to say.
If Devil Worms relied on all forms of vibration such as shock waves and sound waves to identify prey, then as long as they artificially created such a shock wave, it would be equivalent to blindfolding the eyes of Devil Worms.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's eyes began to gradually flash with excitement.
Due to the proliferation of Devil Worms, the work of the Mars colony had almost completely come to a standstill. Even a soldier would not dare to go out without the protection of an armored vehicle. Not to mention the rover for mineral exploration and the reconstruction of the destroyed farm.
And now, a simple and effective method was almost in front of him!
"As long as we create a shock wave generating device and continuously emit shock waves to the bottom of the colony …"
"Yes!" Verdell Taylor nodded and said in an affirmative tone, "This is exactly what we envisioned in the experiment! As long as we find the most sensitive frequency of Devil Worms, we can use this point to turn our colony into a 'black domain' that they can't see! "
