Chapter 681 The Rooster that Lays Eggs

"."

Although I feel a little sad about the money that the rabbits are about to lose.

But after careful consideration, Li Jue and Lao Guo finally decided to accept Xu Yun's statement.

Although their vision is not as long-term as Xu Yun, the time traveler, they still have some basic judgments.

Now is indeed the best time for the Rabbits to recruit overseas talents. No international organization or organization knows about the amazing progress of the Rabbits in the development of nuclear weapons.

At the same time, quite the opposite.

This approach of the Rabbits can easily be interpreted by the outside world, especially across the sea, as being stuck in the development of nuclear weapons, so it is necessary to recall talents to promote research.

But once this time is missed, many things will be different.

If the Western countries, led by those across the sea, knew that the Rabbits were close to mastering even the hydrogen bomb, they would definitely not be able to let anyone return to the country, and they might even put aside their shame and attack some scholars who wanted to return to the country.

In this case, the focus should really be on the stable return of talents to the country, and there should be no need to think too much about money and income.

"correct."

Then Li Jue thought of something again, picked up the topic again, and asked Xu Yun:

"Xiao Xu, how was Lop Nur's trip this time? Was the road bumpy?"

"It went pretty well."

When mentioning Lop Nur this time, Xu Yun's tone became much more relaxed:

"There were no major problems throughout the whole process. Director Lu and I also met Comrade Peng Jiamu from the Zhuzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We all got along very happily."

"As for small-scale nuclear explosion experiments, we have collected a lot of important radioactivity data, such as ERO, KTP values, etc., and the collectors are also in good physical condition."

"At present, there are no big problems with the parameters of the atomic bomb we designed, but there are some areas - for example, the triggering angle of the ignition neutron needs to be optimized."

Lao Guo on the side nodded slightly.

As mentioned earlier, the purpose of al-Qaida's small-scale atomic bomb test explosion this time is to try to find out the problems, so it is normal to find some errors.

For example, what Xu Yun said is the triggering angle of ignition neutrons.

The angle originally designed by the theoretical team was 17.6°. Mathematically, there should be no problem with the refractive efficiency at this angle.

However, during the experiment, Lu Guangda and others found that this angle was not actually the technically optimal solution—because they ignored the geometric state of the reflective layer in the actual process.

The so-called geometric state refers to the specific configuration of the structure. In pure mathematical calculations, this geometric state will not change. However, in real explosions, due to high temperatures and shock waves, the geometric state of the reflective layer will inevitably deform.

This deformation will eventually cause the optimal triggering angle of the ignition neutron to be inconsistent with the derivation process. The actual triggering angle should be corrected to 19.8°.

Similar situations occurred several times throughout the process. It can be considered a good thing that Xu Yun and Lu Guangda have gained some experience.

Although Li Jue doesn't know much about the specific concept, he still understands this principle.

So he quickly nodded and continued to ask:

"Xiao Xu, I heard that you also found a living chicken at the scene this time? And it also laid eggs?"

Hear the word chicken.

A subtle look suddenly appeared on Xu Yun's face.

I saw him gently touching his chin, thinking carefully and saying:

"Well, we found a reed chicken in the heart-breaking position. It is about two and a half years old."

"Originally, I wanted to send this chicken to Director Liu Youcheng and his colleagues for research, but I didn't expect that it actually laid an egg on the way back."

Finally.

The corners of Xu Yun's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

He really didn't expect that the rooster would develop into the current style of painting.

Not long ago, Xu Yun and Lu Guangda discovered a living big rooster at the nuclear explosion site. Although Xu Yun was a little surprised at the time, he really didn't take this thing to heart.

After all, the place where the big rooster lived was inside the cabin. If there was a bunker, it was just like that.

In addition, there are actually many animals that have been exposed to nuclear radiation in later generations. The nuclear sewage next door has been drained for two rounds and there is no Godzilla, right?

So Xu Yun simply kept this in mind and prepared to go back to the base to make a handover.

The result was unexpected.

On the way back to the base from Lop Nur, this rooster actually laid an egg!

This tmd is outrageous.

To know.

Roosters do not have the ability to lay eggs. There are basically only three possibilities for roosters to lay eggs in later generations.

The first is the second creation of suspense novels. Many suspense novels like to start with a rooster laying an egg, and they slowly spread from person to person.

The second is when the rooster drops infertile eggs while adding chicken essence to the hen, and others mistakenly think that the rooster is laying eggs.

This kind of situation is relatively common in rural areas. After "Satire and Humor" reported it in the last century, it has gradually become the mainstream of roosters laying eggs.

The third is that hormones in the feed cause the hen to overgrow, making the hen's comb appear to be about the same size as a rooster, so that it is mistaken for a rooster.

throughout nature.

A simple 'rooster lays eggs' does not actually exist, but there is a special situation that indirectly leads to the so-called 'rooster lays eggs'.

That is, for some reason (not related to feed), the hen has undergone natural degeneration over a period of time, and transformed from a hen into a complete rooster.

The essential reason for this situation is that a hen usually only has one left ovary that is functioning. When it is damaged, the right ovary will take over.

This alternation process may cause the androgen levels in the hen to rise significantly, eventually taking on the sexual characteristics of the rooster.

In addition, one of the causes of this situation may also be the lack of other male individuals in the chicken group. Just like if there are too many male netizens in the gay group, there will always be one or two who are forced to become man-girls or group RBQs.

But the big rooster that Xu Yun and the others discovered now does not fall into any of the above situations. It laid eggs in a purely male body.

Then Li Jue leaned back in his seat, rested his head on the chair, and asked:

"Xiao Xu, how are those eggs doing now?"

A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Xu Yun's lips:

"No one dared to touch it. They were afraid of nuclear radiation if they ate it, and they were afraid of destroying the samples during shell-breaking research, so they kept it in the chicken coop."

Say it.

Xu Yun scratched his hair again and continued to laugh twice.

The rooster brought back from Lop Nur this time only laid one egg, so both Xu Yun and Lu Guangda were in rare trouble:

It's easy to boil or fry the egg, but its 'father' is the rooster who survived the atomic bomb after all. No one can say whether there will be any radioactive nuclide inside the egg.

If you eat it forcefully, you won't be able to protect yourself. Before the Neon side has time to mutate, the rabbits will have their own Godzilla.

Lu Guangda was a little reluctant to do direct dissection and research. After all, this egg was truly a unique one, and no one could say whether the rooster would lay another one.

Ever since.

This special egg was temporarily placed in the chicken coop, and for a while no one knew what to do with it.

"No one dares to move"

Li Jue thought for a few seconds after hearing this, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"In that case, Xiao Xu, why don't you put it in the donkey shed and try it?"

"Those local donkeys are full of treasures. Maybe they can also give some surprises when it comes to hatching eggs - at least there should be no difference between roosters and male donkeys in terms of egg hatching experience."

Xu Yun:

"?!"

The eggs laid by the rooster are hatched by the donkey. Why does this style of painting look so like the basilisk in Harry Potter?

If I remember correctly, the basilisk in "Harry Potter" was hatched from a male egg by a toad.

But soon.

Xu Yun understood Li Jue's thoughts.

Yes.

The rooster itself had no experience in hatching eggs, so there was essentially no difference between whether the rooster or the donkey took care of the eggs. It was the first time in their lives for both men to dress up as women.

At the same time, during this period of time, the local donkeys at the base were physically exhausted. They were either grinding or having their hair cut off every day. The first thing they did when they returned to the donkey shed was to fall asleep.

In this case, there’s no need to worry about them crushing the eggs—in fact, a few little donkeys have been born at the base recently.

After all, the number of local donkeys in the base now exceeds 1,000, so the birth of some little donkeys is completely normal.

In this case, the safety of putting eggs in the donkey shed is actually quite high.

After ensuring basic security, the rest is "reward".

Do not know why.

Although there was no evidence, Xu Yun always felt that the eggs hatched by local donkeys might bring him some little surprises.

Anyway, if you don't do anything now, the egg will probably go bad in a short time.

Think of this.

He then looked up at Li Jue and said:

"Director, I think you can give this idea a try."

"right?"

Li Jue looked very happy and couldn't help but laugh twice:

"Anyway, I understand. If there's anything we can't handle in our base, we'll go to you first. If you can't help it, just go to the donkey. This sequence is correct."

Xu Yun:

"."

Why does this sound a little wrong?

However, before Xu Yun had time to carefully reflect on the meaning of these words, Li Jue changed the topic again:

"By the way, Xiao Xu, the Chinese New Year will be in just over a month. Do you have any ideas about the New Year's party?"

Xu Yun was suddenly startled.

New Year?

But he soon realized that indeed, it will be almost Chinese New Year in a while

At the same time, the time he came to this era was approaching half a year without realizing it.

Soon it will be his first Chinese Spring Festival in this era, and it will also be the last special holiday before leaving.

After this Spring Festival, his time in this era will completely enter the countdown.

I feel a bit reluctant to part with it. I always feel that there are still many, many things that have not been done.

While Xu Yun was thinking a lot in his heart, Li Jue on the opposite side couldn't help but call his name again:

"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

Xu Yun quickly came to his senses, shook his head quickly, and explained:

"I just thought of something. As for the Spring Festival. Director, how do we usually spend it?"

"As usual"

A trace of reminiscence flashed through Li Jue's eyes. He has spent three Spring Festivals at the base since it was first built:

"Usually, each person gets an extra steamed bun, half a fish and three taels of meat. The workshop has seven people in a group and they can cook their own beef soup. Then, when the time comes, everyone sings a few songs and sets off some firecrackers. That's how New Year's Eve ends."

"Last year, our supplies were a little scarce, so we only got one or two taels of meat, and the fish were not big."

"At that time, in order to distribute the base fairly, we held a lottery. For example, the fish that the comrades in the second branch got were generally less than two taels, but no one said anything."

As he spoke.

Li Jue couldn't help but sigh.

He was the first leader of the entire base to come to Jinyintan. He could recall a lot of difficulties encountered in the early days of the base.

What he regretted most was that he had not been able to give everyone a better Spring Festival in the early years.

You know.

Jinyintan itself is at a very high altitude, and the temperature in winter is extremely cold. The human body's innate need for heating and food is much higher than that of the plains.

At the same time, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, and the meal on New Year's Eve has extraordinary significance in all aspects.

However, the base has been so poor in the past three years that it has not been able to give the employees a good New Year for three consecutive years.

Although most employees did not blame the base leaders, Li Jue and others always had a thorn in their hearts.

However,

this year is different.

With the appearance of Xu Yun this year, the base ushered in a new wave of changes in the second half of the year:

The equipment was available, U2 was shot down, there were more talents, and the supplies were sufficient.

Now there are more than a thousand tons of winter wheat piled up in the base's warehouse, and now an adult's daily staple food quota is only about 500 grams.

These wheats can be used to make steamed bread, pancakes, or even directly add some corn kernels to cook porridge as a staple food.

Even if the weight of the wheat husk is removed, it is enough for the base to survive the coldest winter and still have a surplus.

This is also why most of the base leaders are so friendly to Xu Yun - there are only five leaders in the base who really know Xu Yun's background. The reason why others rarely oppose Xu Yun's various plans is largely because of Xu Yun's contribution to food.

It is also for this reason.

For the upcoming Spring Festival, Li Jue is also full of expectations.

After all,

He also knows very well that this will be Xu Yun's last Spring Festival in the base.

Whether it is for the morale of the base employees or for Xu Yun himself, this Spring Festival should leave some special memories.

This is also part of the gratitude that Li Jue can express within his ability.

Note:

You can guess what will be derived from the egg, it's very interesting~
