Liu Zheng was feeding the metal lump. As for where he found the metal lump, it was unclear whether it was in this cave or somewhere else. Wei Falu, Zhu Ran, and Ran Tai who knew about it all died. As for why they are fed here, it is unknown. It is probably to avoid other evolvers in the camp.
Now that this "meteorite fragment" has been made public, there is no need to stay here anymore. Shen Cong directly carried this metal lump the size of a millstone roller, dragged the venomous snake's body, and returned the same way.
Although he found that this piece of metal was probably not a meteorite fragment, the value of this piece of metal was equally high. A piece of "living" metal was worth enough for him to take action once.
It took ten minutes to go and only three minutes to come back.
Shen Cong almost ran all the way back to the King Kong. This period of lost contact out of sight made him extremely anxious. Now that he was finally back, he felt spiritually sublimated - safe.
There is still much work to be done.
First, deal with the body of the venomous snake, research and record some information about the venomous snake.
"The poisonous male snake is a mutated Yangtze River short-tailed viper-like creature. It is an evolutionary beast. It has a body shape like a python and is 6.3 meters in length. The snake's skin is very hard. Its active core is a pair of tubular fangs. It is 19 centimeters long and has a curved tail end. , the front end is straight.”
Then Shen Cong calculated the level data of the poisonous male snake. It was lv0.502, activity level 0.287h, and talent 0.572h. The level of evolution was pretty good.
The snake is a treasure.
Snake venom, snake gall, snake meat, snake skin, snake liver, and snake ointment can all be used as medicine.
With the change in activity, Shen Cong, whose physical fitness has become superhuman, will almost never get sick again. Even if he does get sick, it is not a disease that can be solved by the pre-apocalyptic medical system. Therefore, is the body of the poisonous male snake still of such high value? Doubtful. But Shen Cong liked the pair of tubular fang active cores very much.
"The front end is almost straight and hollow for ten centimeters, which can be used to make poisonous arrows... Let's first see how strong the venom of the poisonous male snake is."
He started collecting snake venom.
There are two ways to collect snake venom, one is to collect it alive, which is the method of collecting venom from cultivated venomous snakes and can be recycled. However, dead snakes can only be harvested dead, that is, by cutting off the venom glands. Cutting the venom glands is a delicate job. Once the snake venom is broken, all the venom will flow out. Originally, there is not much venom left in the venomous male snake, so there is no need to collect it if it is wasted.
Fortunately, Shen Cong had years of training as a repairman and had very steady hands. He carefully cut off the two venom glands, then took a glass vial and squeezed the snake venom from the venom glands into the vial bit by bit.
I simply weighed it and found it was 12.35 grams, which is about the same as two packs of chewing gum.
"Let the camp send some live animals from hunting tomorrow to test the poison."
After briefly disposing of the poisonous male snake's body, it was already late at night. Shen Cong looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was past twelve o'clock. I stretched out unconsciously, preparing to make myself a late-night snack to replenish the energy and activity consumed by the evening activities.
The existing venomous male snake is the raw material for midnight snacks.
"Eating snake gall raw?" Shen Cong thought about it for a while, but gave up the idea and prepared to make wine with snake gall.
Speaking of which, Shen Cong didn't like drinking. Drinking would affect his brain's judgment and reduce his defensive perception of the outside world. However, taking a sip or two occasionally can promote blood circulation and enhance mental thinking. Everything has pros and cons, just choose the pros and don't overdo it.
Shen Cong felt that he was a little too much in relying on the King Kong - just a little bit.
I had a plate of fried snake meat for midnight snack.
After eating, a fire-like heat spread from his stomach. The heat made Shen Cong sweat profusely, and even the air conditioner couldn't stop it. However, after the snake meat was digested, Shen Cong could feel that it had some strengthening stimulation to his body. It seems that this kind of snake meat can stimulate the body's activity.
Very comfortable.
I have never had this feeling before when I ate the meat of sharp eagles or melancholy birds. Snakes are indeed treasures, and snake meat is equally valuable.
"If all snake meat has this stimulating effect, then my diet will need to change and I will hunt more mutated snakes to eat."
…
The next day, Liu Changming came with his son, handed back Shen Cong's pistol, and asked Shen Cong if he needed him to continue working.
Shen Cong thought for a moment and said, "Please help me install a monitoring system on the fire truck, both internally and externally. Also, there are a lot of rusted and damaged camera equipment in the scrap pile. Please help me sort them one by one. See if it can be repaired, and if it can’t be repaired, remove the intact parts.”
"Oh well."
"Also, tell me before you get off work in the evening, and I will convert the results of your research on wireless communications these days into rewards and pay them to you."
"Thank you, thank you, Boss Huang."
"You deserve this, go to work."
Just after sending Liu Changming to work, Zhang Youhai came, followed by several people carrying a bag of things. It was the interim government who came to deliver active cores.
"Boss Huang, these are given to you by the district. A total of 202 sets of bone gold have been sorted out. Some crows were broken and the bone gold was also broken. The district counts them among the 20% left. , all the intact ones were given to Boss Huang." Zhang Youhai said.
"Yes." Shen Cong took the baggage and poured the active cores into the car. He took a rough look at them without counting them in detail.
After Zhang Youhai delivered the active core, he immediately sent the people who followed him back first.
Then he said mysteriously: "Boss Huang, I have eaten a lot of warm sand pears and grapes in the past few days. I feel that my teeth are itchy and my body strength is much stronger. Can you check it for me?" Is it going to evolve?”
As the secret agent and eyes and ears who stayed in the camp, Shen Cong had given Zhang Youhai a lot of active fruits before, not to win over his younger brother. Instead, he wanted to do an experiment to see if ordinary people would mutate if they ate too much active fruit.
According to the theory that activity brings about variation, eating too much active fruit is actually equivalent to receiving a large amount of activity.
Variation is possible.
Of course, it's hard to say whether to become an orc, a mutant, or an iron man.
"Really?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows and prepared to test the experimental results. He took out a set of necessary tools for doctors, "Open your mouth and I'll check it out."
Zhang Youhai immediately said "ah" and opened his mouth. He had a bit of bad breath.
Shen Cong had to lift off his helmet and put on a mask.
Then he used tweezers to clamp Zhang Youhai's canine teeth, and used a mouth mirror to repeatedly check his four canine teeth. No signs of mutation were found.
"Are you sure your canine teeth are itchy?"
"Yeah, I always feel itchy, as if I'm growing longer."
Shen Cong checked again, and then carefully felt Zhang Youhai's body. No signs of active radiation were detected. It can be basically judged that Zhang Youhai has not mutated: "You are overthinking, your canine teeth are intact, not loose, enlarged, or hardened." By the time your physical signs change, you haven’t evolved yet.”
Zhang Youhai suddenly felt like he was in despair: "Ah, no, I can feel that my canine teeth are itching, and my strength has become stronger. Boss Huang, do you want to check more carefully?"
"It may be a psychological effect that makes you think it is itchy, or it may be that the changes in physical signs are very weak. I cannot examine it carefully with my current means. If you agree to an autopsy, I can give you a detailed and comprehensive examination."
"Uh, haha, Boss Huang is so funny, no need for dissection, no need, it's fine without evolution." Zhang Youhai quickly waved his hand and shook his head.
Shen Cong felt a little pity that he couldn't torment Zhang Youhai like a guinea pig. Then he turned around and took a bunch of grapes from the car: "Put away this bunch of grapes and come over to check after eating. Maybe your canine teeth are itchy. Really?" It’s evolution, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.”
Zhang Youhai accepted the grapes with tears of gratitude, feeling that he had followed the right boss.
Little did he know that Shen Cong just treated him as a guinea pig.
Because grapes no longer had much strengthening effect on him, he thought that it would take forty or fifty kilograms to reach saturation. In fact, after eating twenty kilograms, he had already strengthened and was about to be saturated. In addition to making up for the daily active consumption, he also started to feed blackheads. It's worth using Yin grapes in exchange for the experimental results.
Wait for Zhang Youhai to leave longing for his "evolutionary path".
Shen Cong finally turned his attention to the metal lump he brought back last night and began to study this "living" metal.
It can be basically concluded that this metal lump has nothing to do with meteorite fragments, and is something similar to an Iron Man vehicle. Shen Cong suppressed his desire to devour, and carefully mobilized his active senses to detect the metal lump. Soon he noticed the difference between the "liveness" of this piece of metal and the "liveness" of the vehicle.
There are different degrees of "living".
The "life" of the vehicle is a kind of flexible life, while the "life" of this metal lump is dull and sluggish. In other words, the "life" of the vehicle is like a jumping child, and the metal lump is like a jumping child. The "living" is like a bedridden patient, a failed activation.
