Chapter 150 Consultation
This is a white cocoon.
Xiao Zhen picked it up and held it up to the light. She vaguely saw a black shadow of a cat's head moving up and down inside the cocoon and spitting out silk.
Xiao Zhen said: "In other words, when it breaks out of its cocoon, a cat-headed moth will come out?"
"My cat-worm won't be so ordinary."
"Need I remind you that it's just a common face-changing monster insect?"
"Evolution is different. It has a chance to evolve into a higher level..."
"Moth."
Captain Madara glared at Xiao Zhen. If he continued talking, his friendship with Captain Madara might be ruined. Xiao Zhen returned the cocoon to Captain Madara and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your cat and cat bug being synchronized with Choi Mingzhi's parents."
"What?"
"Choi Myeong-ji's family is also in cocoon form."
"What?"
"Oh, he thought his family members turned into silkworms, and now the silkworms are spinning cocoons."
"So, how's your Pu Pu solution sewer recycling project going?" Captain Madara asked.
Xiao Zhen coughed to clear her throat. "I just received a message from the mosquito-seeking machine. As of today, all the solution from Pu Pu and Cui Mingzhi's family has been recovered!"
“Have you recovered all of them?”
"Um!"
“This really lasted a long time.”
"Yeah, it's finally over."
Mr. Cat suddenly asked, "So, are you ready to take action against those fur balls?"
The restoration and activation of Pu Pu requires black flat cockroaches. Originally, black flat cockroaches were bred for this purpose only, but now they have deviated from the original direction without knowing when.
"As the supreme god worshipped by the fur balls, I certainly won't be so cold-blooded and heartless."
"Wake up, you are no longer the Supreme God."
"At least there are still a few fur countries that believe in me!" Xiao Zhen glared at Mr. Cat's tail. Now the Cat Tail Cult has firmly become the first belief of the White Country and the Gray Country, and the Tail Cult has a tendency to continue to develop.
But Xiao Zhen didn't intend to care. Ever since the fur balls developed faith and built temples, he had other plans for the fur balls.
At this time, An Yuan was outside the door urging him to pack up everything. The pest control work at Yan's house was over. The family could move back.
When leaving, Old Guo, who was looking after the house, seemed unhappy.
He said to Yan An'anyuan, "Hey, Caicai is a very obedient and smart dog. How come he disappeared all of a sudden?"
An Yuan and Yan An immediately thought of their old dog Zhengyi. For An Yuan and Yan An, pets are not just pets, but more like their friends and family. An Yuan comforted Lao Guo softly, saying that Caicai looked smart and might find his way back in two days. She also reminded him not to forget to ask the property management and post some missing dog notices, maybe a kind person would bring the dog back.
"I hope so!" Old Guo sighed.
Captain Ban pecked at his feathers guiltily. Mr. Cat looked at him and thought that the dog's disappearance seemed to be related to Captain Ban, but it also seemed to be completely unrelated. Where did the dog go after chasing Captain Ban and causing a big fuss in the vegetable market that day?
I just hope it hasn't been caught and killed and eaten by someone.
Seeing Lao Guo's dejected look, Mr. Cat planned to ask his agents to take some time to check the news about the dog.
After returning to Yan's house, Xiaozhen went back to her room.
The clay figures were gathered around the table, not knowing what they were doing, when Xiao Zhen walked over. The clay figures were startled and scattered, and when they found out it was Xiao Zhen, they immediately lined up to warmly welcome her back.
In the line of clay figures, there was a black fur ball lying on the table, weakly, its body trembling slightly.
This is a little fur ball that sneaked out of the fur ball kingdom. It looks young and is still in the growth stage. While exploring, it accidentally ate the poisonous bait placed by the pest control company. Fortunately, it didn't eat much so it didn't die immediately. Relying on its instinct, it struggled all the way to hide under the bookcase. With its extremely tenacious vitality, it survived for several days without dying. After the clay people found it, they lifted it to the table. When they were thinking about how to deal with it, Xiaozhen came back.
"Hmm..." Xiao Zhen really wanted to throw this little ball of fur into the trash can.
But the dying little black fur ball suddenly stood up with great effort. It moved its furry body to crawl in front of Xiaozhen's fingers and turned itself over. Then it shook its fur hard and tried to turn itself over again. But the little fur ball was too weak to turn over, and could only sway weakly from side to side on the table.
Is this a salute to show respect to me?
Really, I'm almost dead, what's the point of having faith?
Xiaozhen put on gloves and picked up the dying little ball of fur.
…
When Mr. Cat walked into his secret laboratory, Xiao Zhen was busy in front of a pile of instruments.
drop.
drop.
Short electronic sounds rang out from time to time.
A small black fur ball was lying on a tray, and Xiao Zhen was watching the numbers on the screen. The poison had spread to the nerves, so he had a lot of work to do, and there was a high chance that he couldn't be saved.
"You are saving a cockroach..."
Xiao Zhen interrupted it in time, "They are already able to carry out organized religious activities. We can no longer treat them as unconscious and unintelligent low-level creatures."
"They are not yet intelligent enough to be called intelligent creatures."
"Yes, but it will be worth looking forward to later ."
The black fur ball inhaled the anesthetic and remained motionless. The body of an insect is completely different from that of a mammal. It is the lymph fluid that flows in the body cavity. Xiao Zhen connected it to the hemolymphatic catheter and performed external circulation dialysis over and over again. His current conditions are limited, and he can only do the most basic treatment.
After a day of dialysis, Xiao Zhen stopped all rescue operations. Now it depends on whether this little fur ball is lucky enough .
Xiao Zhen put the sleeping little black fur ball aside and told Mr. Cat what he had asked the clay people to do before.
"Look at this." Xiao Zhen took out a bottle containing a dark and turbid liquid.
"What's this?"
"You should have noticed that the furballs are always at war, and there are casualties in every war. There are always dead furballs."
Mr. Cat looked at the bottle of suspicious liquid in Xiaozhen's hand and said, "Did you ask the clay people to collect the bodies?"
"Yes. I have been asking the clay figures to collect the bodies of the fur balls." Xiao Zhen said, "Pu Pu needs to absorb certain elements from the fur balls, but it doesn't matter if they are actually dead. During the time we were away, I asked the clay figures to use your separator to extract the extract from the fur balls' bodies that Pu Pu can absorb directly."
"You actually secretly used my machine to separate cockroaches..."
"If you hadn't genetically modified these fur balls, this wouldn't have happened!" Xiao Zhenli said confidently , "Eating them alive is no different from eating this extract. Pu Pu won't have any objections."
“Tsk tsk.”
"Besides, I have another plan."
"What?"
"It's not convenient to keep these fur balls at home. I want to find a new home for them."
"The number of fur balls is already quite large. If you release all of them at this scale, I will immediately arrest you for destroying the local ecological environment." Mr. Cat said coldly, "Do you want to go to jail? I won't come to see you."
"Of course I'm not releasing them."
"There are indeed quite a few interstellar buyers asking me about the selling price of these fur balls." Mr. Cat asked, "Do you want to sell them?"
"How can the Most High God sell out his people?"
"Tsk, you hairy cockroach people."
"Same to you!!! You evil god!"
"Yes, they can still continue to put on some good shows and make money."
"What I mean is that the existing farms are too small. I think they should be given more space and a natural environment to develop freely."
Mr. Cat licked his paw and said, "Then you'll have to buy a planet of your own."
"Yes, that's what I planned."
Mr. Cat looked at him and realized that Xiao Zhen was serious. He asked tentatively, "Is your frozen account finally unfrozen?"
"No."
"Even if you made a lot of money from selling juice last time, it's not enough to buy a planet. Oh no, let alone a planet, the money you have now is probably only enough to buy a toilet in the upper city of Zhiye Star."
"People should have dreams!" Xiaozhen shouted.
He opened the Star Network and inquired about the prices of undeveloped planets.
A creature like the fur ball needs to find a suitable planet similar to the Earth. A smaller planet will suffice. But this is not easy. If it is too close to a star, the temperature will be too high and it will be a desert without rain all day long. If it is too far from a star, it will become an icy planet. Only a planet like this one, which is called "Lola" by the Galactic Federation and "Earth" by the locals, is neither too close nor too far from its star, with the right temperature and the conditions for producing liquid water. This is the most suitable place for life to grow.
But it doesn't take a brain to realize that such a suitable planet must be expensive.
There are billions of stars in the Milky Way, but the number of suitable planets is even smaller than one in ten thousand. Most of the suitable planets either already have intelligent life on them or have already been developed.
Taking the distance into consideration, this ownerless suitable planet cannot be too far away from Laura, so that Xiaozhen can observe it more conveniently.
Taking into account the growth of the hair ball, the gravity of this suitable planet cannot be too large.
Xiao Zhen made a long list of her requirements and handed it to the online customer service AI that accepted inquiries about planet buying and selling.
The customer service AI said in a soft electronic voice: "Dear guest, according to your request, I have listed the ownerless planets that have been discovered within dozens of light years around this galaxy and meet your requirements. Please take a look."
Holographic images of two planets popped up.
"Only two planets meet the requirements?"
"Yes. There are only two at the moment." The customer service AI introduced, "The first planet is a jungle world. Most of the land is covered by dense jungle. The plants on this planet are highly developed. If there is no interference, the federal government believes that it can evolve into an intelligent plant race within ten thousand years."
"What about the second planet?"
"No life has been found on the second planet so far, but a portion of water has formed and the climate has become stable."
Xiao Zhen nodded and asked, "How much does the second planet cost?"
"The current price of the second planet is 700 million credit points. If you want to transform the planet, we can recommend a professional planet environment transformation team. The fee is..."
"Okay, I'm just asking for advice."
Xiaozhen closed the webpage. 700 million.
All right.
Even without the fur ball, Xiao Zhen originally planned to invest in the development of several ownerless planets. Although the initial investment would be huge, if the right planets were chosen, the returns would be considerable.
It is said that everyone should have dreams, so let’s set 700 million as our goal first.
