"Funding?Funding!"
Zhao Qing tapped the table with his fingertips, and the crisp sound woke up the weebosnake lying on the ground. The little thing stood out with a translucent tail tip, rubbing against the corner of her robe as if he was pleasantly aware:
"The Blood Alliance has been signed, and now it's time to talk about the main business... The research funds for the twelve uses of dragon blood, should we submit an interim report?"
Xia Mi's dragon pupils dripped three times, and suddenly thirteen glass test tubes shook out from her sleeve. The dragon blood in red and golden was refracted from a rainbow halo: "Look at how perfect the blood sample separation technology is! Serum, plasma, dragon marrow stem cells, and ancient glial cells are all classified..."
"Then what?"
Zhao Qing reached out to take the test tube, pressed the slapped hair on Xia Mi's head, and made a "swish" sound like pressing a steam valve: "What I want is an applicable phased result!"
"The first item is dragon blood nutritional soil."
Xia Mi blinked and took out a celadon jar with the label "Special for Test Field" from somewhere. Dark red grains were precipitated at the bottom of the jar. "One thousandth of the purified dragon blood can be used to cultivate dragon blood grass, dragon scale ferns, red dragon bamboo shoots, etc...."
"Isn't this something that everyone knows?"
"Different, different!" Xia Mi shook her head: "The improved varieties cultivated with dragon blood serum can theoretically absorb various alchemy toxins in the atmosphere..."
"But there is no alchemy toxin in the atmosphere..." Zhao Qing raised his hand to intercept the Dragon King who was about to defend himself, and let the other party touch the tip of his nose guiltily, "Unless an experimental accident happened."
"The second item is the Dragon Blood Beauty Essence." Xia Mi changed the topic without changing her face, and took out a gilded jade bottle:
"A serum concentration of only one ten thousand can increase the speed of stratum corneum cell division by fifty times! Although there is currently a problem of random golden skin tone... the wrinkle removal effect is twenty times stronger than botulinum toxin!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qing had carefully examined the composition content table of the jade bottle: "Alchemy nano-silver must be used to suppress excess activity, and the telomeres of cells are naturally extended by 0.3%, at the cost of inducing scaly keratin hyperplasia - do you call this beauty?"
"The third item is Dragon Blood Biofuel."
Xia Mi quickly skipped these small problems and summoned a group of leaping blue flames. "Look at this "Dragon Blood-Based Aviation Fuel Combustion Test", separated the inert ingredients in the plasma and mixed them with 0.3% purification liquid, the flame temperature increased by a full 400 degrees Celsius!"
Zhao Qing naturally drew rows of alchemy formulas in front of him: "Although the energy density is 17.8 times that of ordinary fuel, it will quickly corrode the fuel tank... shorten the engine life to within 15 minutes? Will the aura radiation released during combustion interfere with the pilot's brain waves, which is equivalent to Long Wei?"
"It's worthy of being a master... In fact, it's perfect to change it to autonomous driving!" Xia Mi snapped her fingers, and a dark golden fountain pen rose from the dodecahedral matrix. "The most practical thing is this - a stealth paint made of thrombin and sulfur! Applying it on a fighter can distort radar waves."
"While devouring the radar waves, eating them all together? The whole plane did completely disappear in front of the radar, after all, it had fallen." Zhao Qing frowned and continued to ask: "What's the situation with the fifth super coagulant?"
"This is an epoch-making invention, and the coherent injury can be bonded within ten seconds! The battlefield first aid efficiency is increased by a hundred times!"
Xia Mi suddenly felt energetic and took out bloody crystals and crushed them into powder in the palm of her palm. "Spraying it on the wound can stop bleeding instantly... It is just that excessive use will lead to the hidden dragonization of the capillary veins..."
"For example, let the wound grow scales?"
Zhao Qing glanced at the cultivation cabin in the corner, and a pangolin-like little white mouse was gnawing on steel ingots.
"Or horn..." Xia Mi's voice became smaller and smaller, "But it's better than dying from blood loss?"
She quickly put away the dangerous goods, and the dull hair raised above her head swayed with her movements: "In fact, the most valuable thing is the development of ink ingots! The carbon quantum in the dragon's blood can undergo collective chiral flips in the four-dimensional manifold, and combined with pine smoke, it can write a talisman with its own alchemy array..."
She then closed her mouth because Zhao Qing was using violence to project the surveillance footage of her exploding laboratory yesterday in the air.
"Wait! Should the detergent project always be praised?" Xia Mi gritted her teeth and took out a jade-colored crystal bottle. The bottle body was wrapped around like a vine. "When the lysosomes are completely separated from the serum, the detergent ability will beat all chemical products! Even a 1:100,000 diluent can decompose nuclear waste!"
"The premise is to ignore its characteristics of light explosion." Zhao Qing's temple was slightly beating, and a dense list of accidents was projected behind him, and his tone was chilling: "If you tear it down like this, you will deduct the maintenance debt from the funds first and compensate a hundred billion yuan."
"It's just that in the visible light band, there are always surprises in scientific exploration!" Xia Mi took a few tactical steps: "Let's take a look at the beer for the fermentation project? Use dragon blood yeast instead of hops, which has a mellow taste and can temporarily strengthen muscle strength..."
She took out the gilded wine bottle like magic, and tiny dragon-shaped bubbles floated on the surface of the amber liquid.
Zhao Qing took the wine bottle and sniffed it lightly. The next moment, he swung his hand and splashed the liquid on the stone steps outside the hall: "Intensify the timeliness for three minutes, the side effect is that the IQ is reduced by 80%. Don't mention the 'Dragon Blood Yogurt'!"
"Then... how about the clouds burst and mushrooms?" Xia Mi unconsciously drew a circle on her toes, "The fungal dragon subspecies that are easy to feed, and the spores will encounter oxygen..." Halfway through, a purple test tube suddenly trembled violently, and the mushroom-shaped miniature mushroom cloud exploded in the sealed tube, raising a spider-web-like crack.
"Is this taking "Plant vs. Zombies" for biosimulation?" Zhao Qing's face became more and more exciting: "Don't tell me, you really made 'Pea Sagittarius' and 'Big Mouthed Man-Eater Flower'!"
"They are still in the theoretical verification stage..." Xia Mi smiled guiltily, "But the experimental varieties of 'Destroy Mushroom', 'Confused Mushroom' and 'Crying Mushroom' have been successfully cultivated! Look, should you try the actual effect of 'Crying Mushroom' first?"
She said, pulling out the glass tube with air conditioning from the test tube rack and shaking it carefully. The spores floating in the tube slowly rotate under the nourishment of spiritual energy, emitting a faint blue light:
"Referring to the previous examples of the 'Taixu Jade Artificial Art', these are all rational developments of the dragon genome!"
"Because there are zombies like Deadpool," Zhao Qing raised his hand and pressed the spore cloud that was about to pop out of the test tube. "You have formed a plant legion in turn?" She bounced open the test tube with her fingers, and the ice crystal instantly bloomed hexagonal frost flowers on the hall pillar. "It seems that "Resident Evil" needs to be added to your game ban list."
Xia Mi stuck out her tongue and dared not answer the conversation.
She knew that her research direction was a bit off, but every experiment seemed to open the door to a new world, making her unable to stop at all - after all, what she spent was not her own personal savings, but the funds approved by the "public".
Xia Mi's dull hair drooped down wilted. While busy strengthening the test tube seal, she took out a bronze compass from the hidden lattice of the belt: "This is the finale!"
"The living compass cultured by dragon marrow stem cells can be charged with star ant antimony crystals, and can automatically generate escape routes in the alchemy maze..."
"Isn't it the Pikachu Alchemy doll you hide under your skirt?"
Zhao Qing sighed helplessly, too lazy to point out the potential problems of the compass. With a casual move, a yellow mouse jumped out: "Is the simulated '100,000 Volts' fun?"
Xia Mi pressed Pikachu's tail and the entire hall was bathed in a leaping golden arc: "Although the power is not proportional to the consumption of materials, with it, I can sue Nintendo for copyright infringement, and I send a stack of lawyers' letters backhand."
"Will you earn back the funds from Pokémon IP?"
“It does sound a bit operational.”
Zhao Qing's mouth finally raised a curve, and his fingertips drew a golden contract clause in the void: "However, given the progress of the "Research on the Twelve Uses of Dragon Blood" you submitted, the funding application will be temporarily rejected. I will first submit a 20,000-word situation description and review to me."
"No - you are abused by ancient cultural heritage!" Xia Mi's wail echoed in the empty hall: "At least tell me first, what is the correct direction of research?"
"Take out the review report." Zhao Qing smiled slightly, threw a few jade plates that recorded a lot of information, and walked outside: "This is the specific terms of reinforcements, and the overview of the dragon-like incidents that occurred on the other side recently..."
"The latest information? In so many days, so many changes have occurred in the world?"
...
When the perspective was changed to one side of the dragon world, the global abnormal events had long been summarized by Zhao Qing and her allies' intelligence network. In August 2004, when the extremely active monsoon in the equatorial convergence zone passed through the Indian Ocean, human civilization was standing on the edge of the cliff of cognitive collapse.
Since late July, earthquake amplitude abnormalities have frequently occurred on the northern foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
The National Geographic and Space Intelligence Agency (NGA) discovered three spiral-shaped deep pits with a diameter of more than 800 meters through remote sensing satellites, and continued release of beta radiation was detected in the pit.
Although governments claimed to be "abnormal geological activities", the Pentagon Strategic Threat Assessment Team pointed out in the confidential document "Lava Dome" submitted on August 3 that thermal imaging showed that there were "recrying high-energy organisms" in the pit.
If the target completely penetrates the basalt layer, the conventional ground-boring warhead will lose its effect.
The Strategic Command proposed to deploy B83 thermonuclear devices at the Digo Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, with an estimated equivalent amount of 270 million tons, but the only thing that was finally transferred was the new neutron bomb.
The US military dispatched additional aircraft carrier battle groups of USS Roosevelt, Reagan and Stanis to the Indian Ocean waters under the name of "anti-pirate exercises", but in fact, it established a blockade area 200 nautical miles away from the East African coastline.
The EU urgently launched the "Hephaestus Plan" and sent a joint geological intervention team to Tanzania.
This action caused international crude oil prices to soar 9.2% in a single day, and the London Metal Exchange copper futures contract was shorted on a large scale by hedge funds.
The East African Economic Community experienced abnormal capital flows this week, with the South African rand's exchange rate fluctuation against safe-haven currencies reaching 11.2%, a record high since 1994.
The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge announced the establishment of the "High-density Biomaterials Research Room" on August 15. 67% of its first £2.4 million research funding came from the Special Budget of Overseas Operations of the British Ministry of Defense - the London Branch of the Secret Party hereby reported.
According to the analysis of Flammel, vice president of Kassel College, conventional weapons may trigger the "fire element siphon trap" preset by ancient dragons, and it is best to use thermonuclear weapons to attack them all.
Almost at the same time, the ongoing Pacific Rim Volcano Expedition also encountered major changes.
On August 7, the Kyushu Sakurajima Volcano Eruption Index (VEI) in Japan reached level 3. In the next three days, Zhushan and Mount Asu erupted abnormally one after another. Derivatives of ambergris (Ambrin) were detected in the volcanic ash.
On August 10, although the Japan Meteorological Agency insisted that the probability of Mount Fuji eruption was "less than 0.03%," the Ministry of Defense suddenly dispatched the 8th Engineer Regiment to Shizuoka Prefecture and laid a seismic detector array at the bottom of the Suruga Bay. The 9th Biochemical Protection Brigade of the Self-Defense Force blocked the upper reaches of the Tama River on August 13.
What is even more disturbing is that the Yokohama Port Authority reported that large-scale structural damage occurred in the port breakwater, and the surveillance screen captured groups of translucent and unknown aquatic organisms with a body length of about 12 cm, with a jaw pressure of more than 2,000psi, and could nibble through 5cm thick marine steel plates within 30 seconds.
Yokohama National University professor of bioengineering Ryohei Nakamura showed the damaged shield cutter wheel at a press conference:
"This biological group, known by fishermen as the 'ghost-toothed dragon viper' is spreading at a rate of more than 30 nautical miles a day. If it enters the Pacific warm current system, the global shipping industry will face great risks."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! To this end, the cabinet urgently passed the "Important Infrastructure Protection Law" and deployed a magnetic mine interception network to Tokyo Bay late at night, and required all underground pipelines to be equipped with titanium alloy protective layers.
Marushan Construction Institute, a subsidiary of Yuanshi Heavy Industry, successfully won the bid and began to accelerate the development of ceramic matrix composite protective layers.
On August 7, a deep-sea detector from the Bergen Marine Institute in Norway captured a live image of a 45-meter-long mosasaur at a depth of 3,200 meters in the Gulf of Mexico. The creature then sank the nearby Japanese whaling ship "Second Rising Maru" at a speed of 90 knots.
The testimony of the surviving crew showed that the creature's head length exceeded the overall size of the sperm whale, and the tail-strike force directly caused the keel of the 3,000-ton ship to break: "The monster directly smashed the cockpit with a whale cannon, and its eyes... were like two balls of melted copper juice."
The Institute of Paleontology at the University of Tokyo insisted at a press conference that "carbon-based organisms cannot have such defensive capabilities", but the next day, another accident occurred in the cargo keel of the cargo keel was bitten off by an unknown "extra-spec" organism in Mimaezaki Port in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Affected by this, Lloyd London raised the insurance premium rate of ocean shipping by 300%, and the Malacca Strait application for over 1,500 ships were invested. Shanghai Baosteel Group urgently launched a "Longkiao Steel" R&D project, trying to improve the impact resistance of marine steel through yttrium element doping.
When the British Museum reopened the dusty 19th-century "Sea Monster Witness Archives", the Qingdao Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, launched the "Abyss Great Wall" project and deployed infrasonic arrays in the South China Sea.
In August, the melting rate of the Arctic ice sheet accelerated by 400% compared with previous years. The Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute released satellite monitoring data: five coordinate points in the central Arctic Ocean appeared in a circular heating zone with a diameter of 3 kilometers, and the surface sea water temperature reached 79℃, forming a standard pentagram geometric pattern.
French explorer Pierre Leclerc, who is filming a documentary in Greenland, claimed that he witnessed a giant Lun rune made of lava appearing on the ice during a snowstorm.
The Vatican issued a rare encyclical on August 16, condemning the "New Satanic" rally in Tromso, Norway.
According to information intercepted by the Italian intelligence department, the sect's spokesman repeatedly claimed that "the dusty throne is about to thaw." It was found that a bronze cylinder with dragon-shaped relief was engraved in the ice pyramid built in the Svalbard Islands. It was determined by carbon 14 to date about 13,500 years ago.
