Zhang Lisheng shrugged without making any comment on a person who was ambitious and thought that he had courage but had actually lost his courage after experiencing a hellish catastrophe and left Shrimp B1 Island.
The wizard power in his body slowly flowed uncontrollably. The second transformation was already right in front of him, and the only two transformed wizard gus were hidden under the factory on the outskirts of New York. In fact, he must leave the island as soon as possible at this time.
After a moment of contemplation, the young man asked abruptly, "Then, is there still a ship coming tomorrow morning, Professor? It's already December 22nd today. I promised my mom that I'll go home for Christmas."
"Christmas? Oh, you actually plan to go home for Christmas after coming to this biologist's paradise?" Without warning, the tall and fat woman who mocked Zhang Lisheng just now interrupted and reached out her hand. "Young man, looks like you're very different from this emotionless supervisor of yours. I've misunderstood you.
Let me get to know you. I'm Effiny Pigros from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University. "
Zhang Lisheng initially had no intention to pay attention to this neurotic woman, but when he heard the rare surname 'Pigros,' the young man was stunned for a moment before reaching out his hand as well. "It's an honor to meet you, Professor Effiny. I'm from Stanford …"
"Oh, oh, I know your origin, young man. As two outstanding biologists, we shouldn't waste our time on pleasantries.
Let's continue to talk about the Emperor Molasses that you mentioned just now. I'm very interested in the ancient biology known as the extroverted gene mutation induction phenomenon that has been circulated in ancient and mysterious books.
Once every 60 years? You said it's once every 60 years, right? In that case, this 60 years is a stable cycle? "
Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth and looked at the fat middle-aged woman who seemed to be very familiar with him with a smile on her face. Turning his head, he asked Stephen, "Professor, Professor Effiny and you are …?"
"Erm …" A rare look of reluctance and helplessness appeared on Stephen's face. "In terms of blood relations, she's my sister."
"Oh, no wonder she's so 'utilitarian' and 'direct' in order to achieve her goal," Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself and nodded. "Professor Effiny, the reason the Emperor Molasses only appears once every 60 years is because in the Chinese civilization, 60 is a very unique number that represents a cycle of everything in the world from beginning to end …"
Based on the magical performance of the young man not long ago, as he interpreted the sand monster from the perspective of Chinese mythology in a voice that was neither loud nor soft, more and more scientists began to gather around and listen attentively to the mystery of the mysterious Eastern ancient civilization.
Although it was difficult for them to truly understand the essence due to the different origins of civilizations, they still listened with great interest.
After all, the encounter on Shrimp B1 Island for just a few days had subverted these scientists' inherent cognition of many things. Right now, they urgently needed a new perspective to examine the world under their feet that was completely different from Earth.
The reason why Zhang Lisheng tried his best to show his talent without concealment just now was to gain the attention of the scientists on the island. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, unknowingly, his narration became more attentive and detailed.
Even though the young man who was surrounded in the center had a calm temperament, there was still a hint of immaturity between his brows. Compared to the professors and doctors around him who were also around 30 years old, he appeared to be very eye-catching.
In the command room of the gathering place's bunker, after watching Zhang Lisheng's youthful face on the huge projection screen on the wall for a few minutes, Rowling suddenly chimed in, "Perhaps he's indeed just a genius that's hard to come by in a hundred or even a thousand years, just like Newton or Einstein.
What do you guys think? "
"Yes, General!" Adjutant Lacey stood straight and replied succinctly.
Then, a beautiful black female second lieutenant next to him voiced out her opinion. "An Einstein who has Bruce Lee's skills and doesn't bring any supplies to wander peacefully in the wilderness on a hellish island in a different world for four days is not just a rare encounter in a thousand years, Sir General."
"Looks like you don't agree with me, Second Lieutenant Allison." Rowling looked at the projection on the wall and became silent for a while before saying with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't believe what I said just now either, but this is already the most reasonable explanation …"
"General, if you allow it, we can find a reason to temporarily detain him and do some investigation.
All of this is just too strange. Not only that, my intuition tells me that he's a very dangerous person … "Upon hearing the supreme commander of the gathering place saying so, Allison stood straight impatiently and said.
"I really envy you young people who dare to think and do things." A lonely expression crept upon Rowling's face. Turning off the projection, he looked at the young female officer who was wearing a tailored uniform and was in high spirits. "When you became the duty officer of the gathering place, you had a B-level inquiry right so you should know that even though Mr. Zhang Lisheng is still young, he's actually not that simple, right?"
Allison did not answer directly. Instead, she nodded silently and suddenly said, "I'm a soldier, not a politician, General."
"You're right, Second Lieutenant. We're soldiers, US soldiers who take defending the territory and the safety of the people of the United States of America as our duty!" Rowling was stunned for a moment. His expression changed for a while before a resolute smile crept upon the corner of his mouth. "Besides, I'm already a mouse that has fallen into a rubber bucket, so what else do I have to be afraid of?
Lacy, I order … "
"Knock knock knock …" Suddenly, a series of knocks on the door interrupted the general's words. Then, a pale civilian secretary walked in and said in a low voice, "Sir, someone from the Department of Defense's Internal Investigation Bureau has arrived. He has already entered the bunker."
"Thank you, Cheryl." The strength that Rowling had just mustered disappeared without a trace in an instant. The old man smiled bitterly. "Looks like God doesn't intend to give an old man like me a chance to take risks.
Lacy, Allison, both of you can leave now. I want to be alone for a while … "
A few minutes later, the supreme commander of the human gathering place on Shrimp B1 Island was relieved of his duty. Desolately, he walked onto an armed helicopter flying directly to Washington.
At the same time, Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, was in a biological laboratory in the bunker in high spirits. Using a silver metal clamp, he carefully clamped a green ball the size of a pea that had a faint mist constantly rising from its surface. Turning it over and over under the spotlight, he could not stop looking at it.
"Lisheng, I know that you must already know what this is. Don't hide the answer in your heart. Even though this' little bean 'is the property of the US government, I found it first.
In other words, I have the right to study it first. If you still don't speak, I'll take it away! "
"I'm not sure what it is yet, Professor Effiny. I'm not sure yet. Let me think about it again …" In response to Effiny's threat, Zhang Lisheng said perfunctorily, "Where did you find this' little bean 'on the sand monster?"
"In fact, the first people who saw it were my student, Justin, and Dr. Donna." Upon hearing this, Effiny, who claimed to be the discoverer of the green ball just now, replied without shame. "Justin, tell Mr. Lisheng, how did you and Dr. Donna find this magical 'little bean'?"
Justin, who stood by the side and formed a sharp contrast with his rude supervisor, nodded and said methodically, "It's like this, Mr. Lisheng. Dr. Donna wanted to know what the sound system of the sand monster was like, so she borrowed a portable X-ray full-system scanner from me …"
"'Full X-ray Scanner'? What's that?"
"An instrument that uses X-rays to conduct a deep scan of the target. It's actually a miniaturized version of the 'CT' machine commonly used in medicine."
"Oh sh * t! Professor, why don't we have this kind of X-ray full-system scanner in our lab?" Zhang Lisheng, who had already killed eight spiritual monsters on Shrimp B1 Island but had never seen such a mysterious ball before, said in a regretful tone.
"That's a commonly used instrument in the study of biomedical engineering. It's not very useful in the field of general biology and it's very expensive too." Stephen shrugged and said a little anxiously, "Alright, Lisheng, don't interrupt. Let Justin continue to speak and you can tell your conclusion."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Justin. Please continue."
"Alright, it's actually very simple. Due to the reason that the operation of the instrument is a little difficult, Donna and I climbed up the sandman's neck together. In the end, we found this' little bean 'at the junction of the neck and the chest."
"The junction of the neck and the chest? Looks like this poor sandman has already prepared to perish together with us but I wonder why he didn't carry it out in the end …" Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself and gently placed the green ball back on a glass tray before saying with certainty, "Professor, Professor Effiny, in my opinion, this should be the Gold Core mentioned in Chinese mythology."
"Gold Core? But this is obviously a green 'bean'!" Effiny said with a doubtful expression, as though she had seen through the young man's attempt to mislead her.
"Oh, you've misunderstood, Professor Effiny. 'Gold Core' is a noun, just like 'car'. In Chinese mythology, it refers to the 'center' of all vitality after the grass, trees, and rocks have become sentient."
"The 'center' of vitality? Is that an organ, just like the human heart?
In that case, this bean, no, the mist that rises from the Gold Core is just like the blood produced by the heart, but it's in a gaseous state … Oh, if I take a closer look, it does indeed look like a heart.
Oh, if I take a closer look, it really does look like a heart. But why is the Gold Core still 'beating' when that sand monster is dead? " Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's explanation, Effiny strode up to the young man and snatched the glass tray with the green ball. After carefully observing it, she began to ramble on.
