Without Huo Yu, the 249 scientific research station was still running perfectly under Jiao Yue's management, and even sent away a wave of scientific research teams who came to supply supplies.
Compared to Wu Yi, who is like salted fish, Jiao Yue behaves more like a qualified deputy webmaster.
Huo Yu felt the same way, so he planned to apply to the headquarters to promote Jiao Yue to the second deputy director of the scientific research station.
Anyway, the icekeepers don't have too strict requirements on the number of deputy station chiefs.
Even if there is a request, it will be fine. I am a scientific research station directly under the headquarters. It is reasonable to have a hundred deputy station directors.
The scientific research station is operating as usual, and Huo Yu is naturally not idle either.
It has to be said that Huo Yu is a ruthless person. He has never left the basement for the past three days.
Although the egg incubator has a countdown written on it, it is an estimated time after all. Huo Yu is also afraid that the little guy in the egg will be born early, so he simply never leaves.
If the little one is born early and dies because there is no one around to take care of him, Huo Yu will cry to death.
During these three days, all food and drink problems were solved in the basement.
As for Lazarus...
The problem of going to the toilet is actually easy to solve.
Huoyu can perfectly control the body and decompose the energy in food and water very thoroughly, even if a small amount of waste accumulates in the body.
With his physical condition, he could go seven days and seven nights without going to the toilet.
I won't tell you that he occasionally uses mineral water bottles to solve problems...
The extra bottles of mineral water filled with yellow liquid in the space backpack are definitely not Niao liquid!
In the past three days, the situation of the pet eggs has also changed a lot.
On the first day, three new cracks appeared on the surface of the pet egg.
The next day, seven cracks appeared again.
On the third day, cracks almost covered the entire egg, the color of the egg began to become lighter visible to the naked eye, and the egg body occasionally shook slightly.
Huo Yu knew that this meant that the little guy inside the pet egg had woken up and was trying his best to break the egg shell.
This is the first time it has launched a challenge to the world. Whether the challenge can succeed is very important to it.
Although Huo Yu was worried about the little guy from the bottom of his heart, he did not intervene.
As far as birds are concerned, there are obvious differences between the individuals that emerge when the eggshell is broken open by oneself and when the egg is broken open by outside help.
If you can break the eggshell yourself, it means you are strong, will be healthier in the future, and your character will have a high chance of becoming perseverant and diligent.
That is what we often say, solid skin.
Of course, the little guy inside the pet egg may not be a bird, but may also be a mammal or even a fish.
Pet eggs are just an appearance given by the system, not real bird eggs. After all, it takes half a year for any serious bird to hatch.
The little life inside is just using bird eggs to come to this beautiful world.
At this moment, in the basement, empty red cans and instant coffee bags are scattered all over the floor.
Huo Yu's eyes were red and he had not slept for three consecutive days, which put a lot of pressure on his body.
Despite this, he still stared at the egg tightly without relaxing at all.
Huo Yu yawned loudly, resisted the urge to doze off, and raised his head.
Click——
An inaudible voice sounded in the basement.
Above the pet egg, a piece of debris was pushed open.
Huo Yu rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not hallucinating due to lack of sleep for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, his heart was immediately filled with ecstasy.
That pet egg really broke into pieces.
Huo Yu quickly controlled himself and forced his body to secrete more adrenaline, dopamine, endorphins and other stimulant substances to cheer him up.
After waiting for three full days, the moment when the little guy breaks out of his shell is more important than anything else.
He took out a variety of food and water and placed them on the ground.
He even went all out, endured the suppression of his bloodline, and exchanged several high-protein American cockroaches in the system space!
Click——
There was another sound of eggs breaking, and the area where the pet egg broke became larger and larger.
Under Huo Yu's attentive attention, a small head with messy hair finally poked out.
Huo Yu stared at the pet egg and forgot to breathe for a while.
"Gaaaaaah——"
A black and white bird gradually appeared in front of Huo Yu.
Huo Yu's pupils vibrated crazily.
penguin?
No, there are no penguins in the Arctic.
That's...the great auk!
Huoyu focused his attention on the bird's beak.
That beak is a little too long for a young bird.
Sure enough, this little guy is a baby auk!
The biggest difference in appearance between auks and penguins is their beaks.
The auk's beak is long and curved, like a knife.
They are closely related to the razor-billed puffin, which also has the exact same knife-shaped beak.
The baby auk struggled to open its eyes, flapped its small wings that were disproportionate to its body, and got out of the pet egg.
After some tossing by it, the pet egg finally broke into pieces.
This time, there is no longer any obstruction between the fish and the baby auk.
Huo Yu swallowed the saliva that was blocking his throat and silently looked at the bird in front of him.
The baby auk has fine white down on its chest and abdomen, its toes are black, and the webs between its toes are light brown.
The knife-like beak is black with white horizontal grooves.
There is a small piece of white feathers between the big red-brown eyes and the beak, which looks like wearing a white eyepatch.
"Gaaaaaah——"
The great auk's eyes finally fell on Huo Yu, and it let out a childish cry.
After confirming that Huoyu was a living creature, its eyes began to become docile and dependent.
A newborn baby bird will regard the first creature it sees as its mother.
In animal behavior, this phenomenon is called ‘impression-following learning’.
That is what we often call, the nestling bird plot.
When the baby auk came into this world, the first living thing he saw was the hawk fish, so naturally he became attached to him.
Huo Yu felt a little excited and a little overwhelmed.
This feeling is different from adopting small fish or small groups.
The little fish all know who their mothers are, and their relationship with them is more like a reorganization of fate, that is, the relationship between adoptive father and son.
But the little guy in front of me watched him be born, and the bond with him started from the moment he drew the pet egg.
Huo Yu was so excited that he couldn't speak, and stretched out his trembling hands toward the egg incubator.
The baby auk opened its big eyes and curiously moved its little wings towards it.
The moment Huo Yu's palm touched the glass partition, the wings of the baby auk just touched it.
The palms and wings overlap through the glass.
Across a glass wall, Huoyu and the baby auk completed their first high-five.
