That night, when Lin Shuo and Di Lan returned to the cabin, they called Lin Hechun immediately.
After talking about what Di Lan explained, Lin Hechun remained silent on the phone for a long time.
Lin Shuo was puzzled, and said, "Uncle Tang, if you are in trouble, you can speak up."
"What's the matter?" Lin Hechun said, "I was answering another call just now to confirm one thing, and it's almost done now."
"What are you confirming?" Lin Shuo couldn't help asking.
"Acquisition of a pathogenic microbiology laboratory." Lin Hechun said, "In fact, Miao Guangqi has already passed me through the research on the toxins in the seven-color muntjac.
Considering the intensity of the toxin and its possible human-to-human transmission, laboratories that study this toxin must have the highest level of safety protection in the world, which is Level 4 protection.
There are very few laboratories of this level even in the world.
If it is a temporary laboratory built on site, although it can theoretically meet the third-level protection standard, firstly, this protection level is not enough, and secondly, there is no completion acceptance procedure, so there must be hidden dangers in terms of safety.
So Miao Guangqi and I started to acquire such a laboratory a month ago to support the hunting operation in Borneo. "
"Why didn't I know about this?" Lin Shuo asked strangely.
Lin Hechun said leisurely: "Because of your father-in-law.
Miao Guangqi is very contradictory.
This person puts more emphasis on merit than reputation, and does everything by hook or by crook.
He doesn't care about face in front of others. But only in front of your son-in-law, he is very shameless.
He couldn't afford the funds for the acquisition of this laboratory, so I lent him.
I lend it to him, which means you lend it to him.
It's not easy for him to open his mouth to you, so he's not looking for me.
He said that he would hide it from you for a while, and only after you realized the importance of this kind of laboratory, he would reveal this burden to you, which would make him appear clever. "
Lin Shuo laughed when he heard this, "And then, Uncle Chun, you really cooperated with him."
"Hey, didn't you owe him a favor by killing him too hard at the negotiating table before? Sell him face to face at this time, and then expose his intentions in front of the Patriarch. Anyway, I am very happy to do things like this .” Lin Hechun laughed.
"As long as you're happy." Lin Shuo naturally didn't care about anything, but asked, "Has the laboratory been acquired?"
"Before you set off, it was purchased." Lin Hechun said, "I was confirming the current location of the laboratory just now."
"Location?" Lin Shuo was slightly startled, but quickly realized, "Is this a mobile laboratory?"
"Well." Lin Hechun said, "Their laboratory has always been at sea, and it is actually a ship. This is equivalent to a natural isolation area, which is very safe.
This ship is currently in the northern waters of Australia, and it is about four days away from you.
The personnel in the laboratory were originally matched, mainly technicians, and some boatmen with livelihood guarantees.
However, after the transfer of the laboratory, the original research leader changed jobs. Owner, you can ask Yang Tuo to come over for a while, at least to deal with the Borneo affairs first.
Well, Dylan, Patriarch, try to stop her as much as possible, let her prepare for her pregnancy and it's over. "
"I don't think we can stop it." Lin Shuo glanced at Di Lan who was eager to try, and then asked, "By the way, Uncle Chun, how much did you spend to acquire this experiment?"
"Patriarch, you seem to be interested in business matters recently?" Lin Hechun said with a smile, "I'll send you the acquisition documents later."
"No, no, no." Lin Shuo said quickly, "I'm just curious, my father-in-law asked you how much you borrowed this time."
"As far as Miao Guangqi's current financial situation is concerned, unless the related industries of the Strange Creatures Research Society make a lot of profits and the little shares in his hand can bring a lot of dividends, he will not be able to afford it in this life.
Miao Guangqi is a person with a good structure and a good general direction, but after all, he has no relevant knowledge structure and lacks means to run a business.
This kind of laboratory must be merged into the relevant industrial chain in order to generate benefits, and it is a pure loss of money to take it out individually.
When I lent him the money, I was actually reminding him to form an awareness of the industrial chain, build an ecology, and scale up.
Don't be like before, you have accumulated so many technical advantages, but you still can't use it while guarding the treasure.
It's just that whether he can understand it or not, it's up to people to plan and make things happen. Anyway, this is just a small amount of money for our Lin family, and it's okay to just listen to it if it's in vain.
By the way, Cao Yusheng is more enlightened than him in this regard.
In fact, Patriarch, it is best to change the agents of the two organizations under your name.
Let Cao Yusheng be in charge of the Strange Creatures Research Society, and Miao Guangqi be in charge of the Hunting Gate, which will be much smoother. "
"The authority of the two old brothers is really a mess at the moment." Lin Shuo said helplessly, "Anyway, they quarrel every day. Fortunately, the results of each quarrel seem to me to be okay."
"Arguing every day is actually because they are better at the field that the other is in charge of." Lin Hechun said with a smile, "As for the result of the quarrel is not bad, that's because the two of them know this too."
…
After hanging up the phone with Lin Hechun, Lin Shuo dialed Yang Tuo's number again.
In the previous hunts, Yang Tuo came to him on his own initiative, and nothing good happened after that.
This time Lin Shuo reciprocated, and there was a glorious but arduous task to be entrusted to this friend.
Lin Shuo's opening remarks were as follows: "Old Yang, I heard that you are getting married soon?"
"Well, but when I receive your call at this time, do I have to prepare a suicide note for Mr. Chen?" Yang Tuo was not polite on the phone, and replied lightly, "Anyway, if you never return this trip, find someone Good people get married."
"That's definitely not the case." Lin Shuo said, "Although the work is difficult and life-threatening, as long as you pass the skills, your safety is still guaranteed.
Besides, I'm not the kind of person who only makes friends work hard, but doesn't solve their worries for the future.
Anyway, we, Liemen, will take good care of your Yang Tuo's widow. "
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and talk about things."
"Microbiological research, can you do it?" Lin Shuo asked.
"What kind of microbe?"
"The high probability is a virus."
"Strictly speaking, viruses are not microorganisms." Yang Tuo corrected.
"Just tell me if you can do it." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes.
"My main business is gene compilation." Yang Tuo said lightly, "The most important means to rewrite genes at present is through viral transcription. Do you think I can do it?"
"A pathogenic microorganism laboratory with a safety protection level of four, do you have the ability to preside over the work?"
"Lin Shuo, you really are a good friend..." Yang Tuo seemed a little speechless, "When I was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University, I worked as a researcher in a level 4 pathogenic biology laboratory affiliated to the university.
After returning to China, I worked at the Lanzhou Institute of Biology. The first task the country gave me was to set up a level-4 pathogenic biology laboratory. I successfully completed this project and took full charge of the laboratory work in the following time.
I remember mentioning these things to you once while drinking. "
"I was drunk at that time, so I don't remember it." Lin Shuo said, "You have to confirm it. If you don't have the ability, I'll call you here to hurt you."
"Then you have confirmed it now." Yang Tuo said, "What project?"
"The most powerful beast species in the history of the hunting gate, the toxicological research of the seven-color muntjac, and the development of the antidote."
"Place?"
"There is a ship in the northern waters of Australia. I will send you the exact location later."
"Then I'll start packing now."
"Say sorry to Teacher Chen for me."
"Don't say it, it's disgusting."
"Well, you can figure it out."
Hanging up Yang Tuo's call, forwarding the location sent by Lin Hechun to Yang Tuo, Lin Shuo put away the satellite phone and handed it to Anne.
There were only three husband and wife in the room, and it was a vast night outside.
The salty smell of the sea floated into the cabin along the windows, and the three of them turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, and could see the bright starry sky through the transparent skylight on the roof of the room.
Anne sleeps on Lin Shuo's left, and Di Lan sleeps on Lin Shuo's right.
The body fragrance of the two women mixed with the smell of sea water poured into the nostrils. Over the past few days, Lin Shuo has gradually gotten used to this smell.
Since Anne was also pregnant, the two wives stopped using perfume, and the hormonal changes brought about by pregnancy made the two women smell slightly different than before.
For Lin Shuo, it smelled even better.
This also reminded him all the time that it was not two people but four people who were sleeping next to him at the moment.
Wife and children are hot on the kang, this is the dream of many men in their lives.
Lin Shuo found that he was no exception. He enjoyed this peaceful time very much.
It's just that the good times are always short.
Because he noticed that the body smell of Anne, the eldest lady who slept on his left hand for the past few days, was slowly changing.
The extent of this change is far greater than the impact of conception.
In her body, another change was brewing.
Compared with the fragrance in the ice cave in the Himalayas before, this change is not so drastic.
That time, it was the sudden blooming of red roses, strong and exciting.
But this time, it seems to be a clump of orchids in the distant valley, full-bodied and leisurely, getting richer day by day.
Talent is something that sometimes makes no sense.
Lin Shuo has seen many talented inheritance hunters.
Miao Chengyun, Zhang Jin, He Yongchang, Yun Xiuer, Chu Hongyi, and even Miao Xiaoxian, all of them are talented and proud.
Among the original six families of Liemen, the Qinglong from the Lin family came to the world, the white tiger from the Zhang family came to the world, the Xuannv Feitian from the Miao family, Wu Ling from the Yun family, and the descending spirit from the Su family, all of them inherited the hunter's talent awakening. Performance.
But with the awakening of talent, after the hunter's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, to further advance from the weak ninth realm to the strong ninth realm, it often needs to be honed continuously, and even face life and death.
How many outstanding inheritance hunters in history have been firmly stuck on the threshold of the strong nine realms, and it is difficult to break through throughout their lives.
Even in the Lin family, there are several generations of patriarchs who, with weak cultivation bases of the ninth realm, barely drove Zhui Ye by "Heroic Spiritual Surrender", and died in battles with fierce beasts and alien species.
Looking at Miao Chengyun, Zhang Jin, and He Yongchang, the recent advances all rely on desperate fighting to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and enter another level on the road of cultivation.
But there are some people who fall asleep next to Lin Shuo, and they are about to advance.
The father-in-law Miao Guangqi said before that his adopted daughter, Su Nianqiu, was the most talented in his family, better than Miao Chengyun and Yun Xiuer.
Lin Shuo really didn't realize it at first. When she first met her, this little girl had a high emotional intelligence and was good at getting things done. But whether it was fighting or hunting, she seemed very immature, and her whole body ability was only about seven inches.
At that time, she was actually not too young, she was twenty-four, but she was infinitely stronger than Zhang Jin, who was only nineteen years old, and was later overtaken by the Zhang family boy.
As a result, it seems that her progress is definitely not slower than that of Zhang Jin.
Moreover, what she has been mainly engaged in in the past few months is not hunting operations, but doing logistics, managing the books, and living a small life with Lin Shuo.
Every day I press the calculator in the office, thinking about how to save money, but in the end, I press and press, and I come up with a strong nine state.
This is really unreasonable.
And this matter made Lin Shuo very complicated.
For the business on Borneo, Anne, as a Weak Nine Realm Inheritance Hunter, does not need to be directly involved in both emotion and reason. She just stays on the Anlan and continues to press the calculator and manage the supplies.
But now that she has faintly entered the realm of the strong nine realms, she will participate in this hunt.
Because the hunters of the Su family in the strong nine realms have already mastered the "enclosure confinement", this unique skill is really important for hunting the seven-color muntjac.
Without this special skill, even if Lin Shuo teamed up with Miao Guangqi and Miao Xueping, he would not feel very sure.
And with this special skill, it is a veritable hunt, and the chance of casualties of the entire hunting team will be greatly reduced.
That night, Lin Shuo tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The two wives beside her were pregnant, sleeping deeply, and snoring slightly.
The second lady on the right must board the ship in the laboratory to engage in high-risk scientific research on suspected viruses.
The lady on the left will inevitably go to Borneo to engage in more dangerous hunting activities.
If the whole thing went a little wrong, it would mean one dead body and two lives, and if you were not careful, you would end up with two dead bodies and four lives.
Can't afford any surprises.
I must calm down, think back and forth, and think carefully.
Because unconsciously, I am no longer alone.
Hunting is no longer a matter of oneself alone.
We are all in the same boat.
