According to Miao Guangqi's prediction, it will take at least a week for the equipment production to come in.
Then this week, the hunting team will actually be idle.
It's not a problem to wait in the rift valley to eat and sleep in the open, so everyone withdrew first.
Most of the members of the hunting team are now big bosses, and the nobles are busy, so they have to make use of this time.
Especially Helen and Greenham, it seems that they want to go back to fight for power.
Today's three major sects of the Holy See in Europe are about to fall into a more fragmented situation after the three most powerful combat groups are defeated by the hunting gate.
Among them, the Eastern Bishop Sect was originally supported by the European Holy See to compete with the Eastern Bishop Patriarchate in Russia.
Now that Patriarch Kirill of Constantinople and his practitioners are all killed and injured, it is considered dead in name only.
The Pope of the Eastern Bishop has no objection, he is the Patriarch of Russia.
And this Russian patriarch named Malinov, in Lin Shuo's words, is an old friend of the Chinese people and a solid and reliable ally of Liemen.
The Patriarch's previous transactions in Russia were all made by the patriarch, including the killing of Lin Shuo this time, which was also the news that the old horse let him go.
Malinov has been discussing something with Lin Shuo for the past two days, whether it is possible for Su Dongdong to go to Russia first.
According to Lao Ma, the matter of the East Bishop's saint was played by Kirill before, without his consent.
He disagreed with Li Su Dongdong, the saint, and even less agreed with the abolition of this saint.
Now the East Bishop has reached a consensus that the saint is necessary, and the candidate must naturally be Su Dongdong.
Letting Su Dongdong pass this time is to do a ceremony and officially announce it to the world.
Lin Shuo understood what Lao Ma meant.
This trick is called killing two birds with one stone, one is to give Su Dongdong courtesy and honor, it can be regarded as indirectly winning over himself, Su Dongdong's brother-in-law, and further strengthening the ally relationship with Liemen.
The second is to take advantage of the collapse of the European Holy See tree and scatter the hozens, and quickly eat some of the original forces of the European Holy See.
After all, Assassin's Creed is in Europe, it is the best knife.
This arrangement is actually good, and Lin Shuo also felt that it was in the long-term interests of Liemen, but when he discussed it with Su Dongdong in private, his sister-in-law refused.
When asked the reason for not agreeing, Lin Shuo couldn't help but patted his forehead, thinking that he was really confused.
There is a comparison between people.
Su Dongdong and Helen were originally saintesses with equal status.
Later, Su Dongdong voluntarily broke away from the Eastern Bishop Sect and became the leader of the Assassin's Creed. With his powerful cultivation, the Dark Mandala in Eastern Europe overwhelmed the Water Lilies in Southern Europe.
As a result, if he followed Lin Shuo's suggestion now, then Su Dongdong would go back and become a saint of the East Bishop.
As for Helen, this time she was rushing back to the Papal State to succeed the Pope.
Tang Gaojie was tired of playing in the Pope's country, saying that the life of the Tianzheng Pope was boring, far less comfortable than he used to be, and asked Lin Shuo to quickly find someone to take over, so that he could return to China.
Regardless of how powerful Helen, the Tianzheng female pope, will be in the future, at least her title is more prestigious than her Su Dongdong's proprietor saint.
So, my aunt was not happy.
Lin Shuo could only discuss with Su Nianqiu to see what kind of official title to give this sister-in-law first, at least her name should not be weaker than Helen's.
Although Su Nianqiu has a new look now, he is a bodhisattva-hearted person after all. When he heard about this, he wanted to give up his position as the Patriarch of the Su family and let his sister become one of the nine leaders of the Liemen.
Lin Shuo hurriedly stopped his wife, thinking about this prodigal bitch, and also didn't think about how much effort he had put into helping her up.
Moreover, the organizational structure and various titles of Liemen have been formed since ancient times, and there are long-standing practices, even if Lin Shuo, as the chief executive, can't mess around casually.
That's why he introduced the organization of the Strange Creatures Research Society, so that he could start anew and organize people to do things.
After thinking about it, Lin Shuo asked Su Dongdong to become the vice president of the Strange Creatures Research Society, stationed in Europe to take care of all affairs.
The title was given out, and then there was a lot of talk, and Su Dongdong finally agreed.
Su Dongdong and Helen have their own whereabouts, and the return of Arch Druid Greenham to the British Isles is also of great significance.
The reason why the Crescent Sect fell apart in Europe has something to do with the personality of the former chief patriarch.
Although Norman has a high level of cultivation, but this person is fierce, greedy and lustful, and the people below are naturally dissatisfied.
And Graingham, an otaku, is not really expected to be a leader. He can be the highest-level practitioner of the Crescent Sect and an elder of the Druid Association. At least he can be a leader in name. The problem is not big.
So we went back to our respective homes. Anyway, it took a day for the plane to go back and forth, and we could rest for a few days.
On the second night, the leader of the hunting gate finally lived in the villa for the first time in his life. He and Di Lan arrived one after another, and his aunt Miao Xueping arrived a day earlier than him.
This big family had a lively reunion dinner that night.
…
The next morning, Lin Shuo woke up early, asked Di Lan to drive him, and went to the Kunlun Park first.
At present, Miao Guangqi is watching the development progress of the equipment, so he doesn't need to worry about it, but he wants to talk to Yang Tuo personally about Yang Tuo's suspected entrusted dream.
The car drove to the door of Laboratory No. 1. Dean Yang is busy with noble affairs, so Lin Shuo will not bother him.
The two couples were standing in the corridor outside the laboratory chatting, Lin Shuo was holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand.
Half an hour later, Dean Yang came out of the laboratory in a hurry. When he looked up and saw Lin Shuo, he was taken aback.
Lin Shuo sniffed, smelled the smell of Yang Tuo, then smiled, and handed him the cigarette.
Yang Tuo took the cigarettes, and the two smoked one each.
Di Lan said from the side: "Yang Tuo, I heard that you have been doing a lot lately."
"What you said, Di Lan, our Dean Yang is amazing, is it just a recent incident?" Lin Shuo laughed.
"You two, don't talk about it." Yang Tuo adjusted his glasses, "I have something to talk about, and I'm still waiting inside."
"Then tell me, how did you dream about the principle of that thing." Lin Shuo said.
"Who told you that I solved it only by dreams?" Yang Tuo asked back.
"Then since it wasn't a dream..." Lin Shuo didn't insist, but asked along the way, "Then how did you think of it?"
"Because I thought of her." Yang Tuo pointed to Dylan.
"Speak up, Yang Tuo." Di Lan said with a wide eye.
"Old Lin, do you know?" Yang Tuo blinked at Lin Shuo, "You, the second lady, even handed me a love letter back then."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Shuo opened his eyes wide.
"That's not true." Yang Tuo said with a smile, "Who is still young and ignorant, but Dylan, don't roll up your sleeves and try to beat me up, that's not what I mean."
"Then what do you mean?" Dylan said with an unfriendly expression.
"I didn't just think of you." Yang Tuo pointed to Dylan's stomach, "I also thought of Lin Xiaojiu."
When Yang Tuo said this, Lin Shuo seemed to have some direction in his mind: "You mean, symbiosis?"
"Yes, symbiosis." Yang Tuo nodded, "In fact, the process of biological evolution, in terms of the overall environment, is indeed the survival of the fittest, and the competition between organisms.
But at the same time, the symbiotic cooperation between organisms cannot be ignored.
Mr. Miao and my mentor said before that archaea and eubacteria are the two earliest clades known on earth.
What they explained at the time was mainly the competition between the two, and pointed out that the Queen Mother of the West was most likely a descendant of the archaea.
And my thinking is different from theirs.
Back then, eubacteria were able to turn over under the pressure of archaea because of the emergence of cyanobacteria, which could photosynthesize and produce oxygen.
Oxygen is essential to us, but to archaea, it's poison.
The flood of blue-green algae led to the Great Oxidation Event that later swept the world, which was a catastrophe for the creatures at that time.
The current popular hypothesis in the academic circles is that we are the descendants of eubacteria, cyanobacteria. I think this is not comprehensive enough.
I think that we humans are actually descendants of both archaea and eubacteria.
Because of the simplest example, according to a study I did a few years ago, we humans have the 'retinaldehyde' of archaea.
Retinaldehyde plays a key role inside our eyeballs so we can see light.
Combined with the great oxidation event of that year, I deduce that in our clade, the most critical step, the evolution of the nucleus, was precisely completed by an archaea.
Archaea cannot survive in oxygen. In the oxygen environment at that time, they had to isolate their fragile DNA from the outside world as much as possible, so they evolved the nucleus.
In organisms like archaea, the metabolites are organic matter, which is a nutrient for eubacteria.
So when the nucleus evolved, the descendants of eubacteria began to colonize and form endosymbiosis.
The descendants of these resident eubacteria are now called mitochondria.
This is the essence of you, me, and any living organisms currently in existence, we are eukaryotes.
Therefore, the big picture of the evolution of organisms is that they not only compete with each other, but also cooperate and co-exist.
In the way of cooperation and symbiosis, respond to changing living conditions, evolve stronger individuals, and win ecological competition. "
As Lin Shuo listened, he sucked on his cigarette butt. What Yang Tuo said was beyond his common sense.
Yang Tuo took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Of course, this is the process of our evolutionary branch as I understand it.
As for the clade of archaea that is older than us, their evolutionary process must be different.
But in any case, the formation of the nucleus is certain.
Protecting one's own genetic material is the key to the further evolution of life.
The earth at that time was an oxygen-free environment.
Archaea, which are already anaerobic, did not have a large oxidation event as the environmental pressure for the evolution of the nucleus.
Therefore, the key to deciphering the clade of archaea is to find the environmental pressure at that time.
What forced the archaea at that time to evolve the nucleus.
This must be the same as the Great Oxygenation Event, a catastrophe sweeping the entire earth.
Knowing this kind of environmental pressure, then the first step is found, and the evolution logic of that branch of creatures is the same as ours, so it can be deduced further.
It's a pity that this catastrophe is too far away from now, and we didn't have any information before. "
Yang Tuo finished these words slowly while smoking a cigarette, and then gave Lin Shuo a questioning look.
That means, can you understand what I'm saying
Lin Shuo scratched his head. With his self-taught level of normal university knowledge, it was actually very difficult to understand what Yang Tuo said. He was completely blind to the specific technical terms, so he could only feel that there was not much difference in logic.
Dylan next to him naturally understood, and asked directly: "Then you can decipher the principle, you guessed what the catastrophe was, right?"
"Yeah." Yang Tuo took a long drag on his cigarette and nodded, "I dreamed of a scene."
"What scene?" Lin Shuo couldn't help asking.
"Countless powerful creatures surged out from the ground, causing huge damage to the surface at that time." Yang Tuo said.
"Underground creatures?"
"Well." Yang Tuo said, "As far as the doomsday scene at that time is concerned, these underground creatures can obviously use nuclear energy, which is a nuclear explosion-level disaster. Therefore, I have found the environmental pressure I need, and that is nuclear radiation. .
At that time, if the archaea wanted to survive, they had to evolve a nucleus that could isolate nuclear radiation.
This is obviously a harsher environment than the Great Oxidation Event, which will inevitably lead to the extinction of most archaea. We can temporarily call it the Great Radiation Event.
The Great Oxidation Event forced organisms at that time to use oxygen.
The big radiation event will inevitably force the creatures at that time to use nuclear radiation.
Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West will be so powerful in the end, because they were born in a more cruel living environment than ours.
And with the big radiation event as the environmental pressure, the first step of the evolutionary drive of that branch of organisms has been found, and combined with the cell structure you brought back to the nest, I can draw the principle.
Because of nuclear radiation, for the current human beings, it is not an unfamiliar disaster.
You should have a deep understanding when you were in Cherbenoli before. "
"I probably understand." Lin Shuo nodded, "Okay, then you continue to be busy, and Di Lan and I will go back first."
…
After this visit, Lin Shuo and his wife drove back to the villa area.
In the car, Di Lan asked: "It turns out that Yang Tuo got the key clue because of the dream."
"Yeah." Lin Shuo nodded and touched his nose, "And I also know who gave him this clue."
"Who is it?" Dylan asked.
Lin Shuo smiled: "It's hard to say for now, let's wait for the matter of Queen Mother Xi to be resolved."
…
