Few people come to the laboratory on the Xingtian ship. It is not that others are forbidden to enter, but there are various terrifying legends circulating on the ship. The legend has a basis. Every time the battle is over, the broken body of the enemy is collected and sent to the place. It's a laboratory. Dr. Blair is the chief medical officer on the ship. He often goes to the infirmary to treat the soldiers. The face covered by the mask can't see the expression, but the love for human tissues in his eyes is frightening.

In the culture chambers around the laboratory, the organs of the Zerg who have been separated from the body still have a certain activity, moving slowly in the thick liquid, and some compound eyes will even drag a tail-like blood vessel close to the inner wall of the culture chamber, like Do your best to see the situation outside clearly.

Ryan retracted his gaze, focused on the movements of his hands, split the big fish head in half, washed it and put it on a large round plate, covered it with chopped pepper and other seasonings, and placed it in the steamer. The various kitchen utensils in Dr. Blair's laboratory are very complete, but observing this doctor, it is not like a person who can cook, these kitchen utensils are more like...

Ryan stopped his scattered thoughts in time, closed the steamer and went to cook three or four dishes. After finishing the work at hand, waiting for the steamed, roasted or stewed dishes to be cooked, Ryan looked at Orston, and by the way, he looked at Blair. They were looking at the things brought from U167, completely changing this one. Something of planetary value.

"This is a kind of fungus, non-toxic and edible. It is rich in minerals, amino acids, and multiple vitamins... Oh my God, what kind of fairy mushroom is, it is the most nutritious of the edible plants I know. The most comprehensive, it is simply a concentrated nutrient, and..." Blair put the cut cross-section of the fungus close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it with enjoyment, "The taste has a woody fragrance, maybe it will change after cooking. ."

Alston was standing on one side, his slender fingers took a fungus without a name. It was a black, irregular sphere, and it had a white snow pattern on the cross section after it was cut.

"Just having rich nutrients is not enough to improve the evaluation level of U167." He said that it is very impressive, and he did not give unusual attention because these fungi were discovered by Ryan.

Ryan was about to explain. Didi's machine prompt sounded, and paper strips with lines of various colors were slowly being spit out. Blair took it over and opened his eyes in surprise, "No, Alston, I think it should be. Pay more attention to the development of U167."

"Why?" Allston walked to Blair's side and looked at the test note together.

Blair excitedly took the data strip and showed it to Alston, "There is φ3 in it."

In the interstellar age, human beings are exposed to cosmic radiation, often accompanied by genetic instability, and the direct consequence is the reduction of fertility. Even for the most genetically adapted couples, giving birth to a child is a combination of continuous hard work and the luck bestowed by God.

The genetic instability caused by radiation is medically called φ3 element deficiency. The sickness rate of the entire empire is more than 30%, and the sickness rate of soldiers who float in space all the year round is 50%, which is a kind of trouble. The whole empire is a disease related to the future of mankind.

"The content of every five hundred grams is 06 micrograms." Those undulating lines can only be understood by professionals. Allston looked at the final summary.

"Don't underestimate this 06 micrograms. The content standard of φ3 element in the normal human body is between 0255 micrograms and 03 micrograms. This small mushroom has more content than humans."

Allston immediately understood the value, "Hope Star!"

"Yes, the Star of Hope. The Western Legion found a kind of octopus in the ocean of this planet. Each ton can extract 1 microgram of φ3 element, and it was named the Star of Hope by the Empire." Blair turned the small fungus on his hand. Ball, "The fungus ball found by U167 is much more powerful than those hard-to-catch octopuses."

On the Star of Hope, only wild deep-sea giant octopuses have the φ3 element. The artificially farmed octopus loses this characteristic and can only be made into a paste to make those strange-tasting nutrients.

"Ryan, talk about your process of discovering the bacteria ball." As the legion coach, Alston has already begun planning the development of U167. Looking at Ryan, who is standing by the table, a black-haired, brown-eyed man who looks a little gentle and shy. He is also wearing a military uniform for ground operations. The neat and crisp style makes him a little more capable, but his eyes are as gentle as ever. .

Under the gaze of Alston, Ryan told the whole process of discovering the bacteria ball. On the way back, passing by a dry river, the river is crisscrossed with dry and cracked lines. The widest crack is three fingers wide, and the place under his feet is the easiest and most overlooked place. Ryan is careful and good at observing. Some shellfish hidden in silt were found ten centimeters away.

Throwing a pearl-sized exploration robot into the gap, the small robot continued to go deep into the ground. The gap was more than ten meters deep, and the existence of bacteria balls was discovered.

Of course, the small tester they carry can not test the existence of φ3 element, but can only test that the bacteria ball is rich in a large number of trace elements.

"There is a wild edible fungus called black truffle on the mother planet. The fungus balls found on U167 are very similar to black truffles. Black truffles are very popular in high-end restaurants in the empire, but because of the changes in the geology of the mother planet, black truffles The annual output is only 1,000 kilograms. This amount can be consumed by a high-end restaurant on Central Planet in a year, but unfortunately they simply can't get so many goods."

The Lane family runs a farm and knows the market of various plants very well. Like thousands of farmers, his father tried to buy black truffle hyphae from the parent star for artificial cultivation, without exception. .

Now, the industry has recognized that black truffles cannot be cultivated and reproduced artificially. Therefore, black truffle is called black gold, although its price is more expensive than gold.

Ryan did not expect that the bacteria ball discovered by U167 would contain the φ3 element. This discovery far exceeded his imagination. The black truffle alone makes U167 unique. With the addition of the φ3 element, its value is even more immeasurable.

Ryan is very happy that his discovery can help the entire legion, can help Allston.

"Black truffles, interesting." Blair hasn't done much research on what he eats. He has seen chopped black truffles and top foie gras together.

"Sergeant Lane."

Ryan stood at attention subconsciously.

"Your discovery is very important. After this discovery is confirmed and verified, you will gain a lot of military merit. Congratulations in advance, Lieutenant Lane."

Ryan's eyes were bright, not only to improve his rank, but also because of the affirmation of Alston, who particularly excited him.

There was laughter from the side, Blair was overjoyed, "You two don't always get along like this, you two are husband and wife, it's kind of fun."

Ryan and Alston looked at each other, and the ridiculed two gradually became uncomfortable. It was not the embarrassment of being teased, but... A little blush appeared on Alston's face.

···

The discovery of the φ3 element in the bacteria ball was a major matter. In order to make sure that this discovery was not accidental, Allston immediately dispatched an action team to dig the bacteria ball on U167. This is a special operation to determine the growth characteristics, distribution and growth of the bacteria ball. The number and so on, the bacteria balls in different areas were excavated to analyze this, and it was determined that the discovery of the φ3 element was not accidental.

Alston was busy entering, Ryan could not speak to him alone, and could only return to the dormitory with a little regret. saw Derrick Hall at the door of the dormitory. This person had changed into a clean training suit. Without the exhaustion and dust of action, the whole person looked energetic.

Ryan realized afterwards that he had been tossing in U167 for nearly five days, and he had already been ashamed, and he had been in front of Alston for so long!

"Lane." Derrick found out Ryan and greeted him actively.

"Captain." Ryan hurriedly put away his cranky thoughts and asked Derrick what to do with him.

Derrick was a straightforward guy. He pointed to the door of the dormitory and said, "Don't ask me to go in and sit down."

"I was negligent." Iris opened the door, and Ryan said to the side, "Please come in."

Seeing the situation in the dormitory, Derrick raised his eyebrows. In addition to the three very dazzling planting cabins, the dormitory was too simple.

After Ryan invited Derrick to sit down, he first went to the bathroom to wash his face, wash his hands and take care of it, and then went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator a few days before picking the strawberries, cut a few and put them in the soda water, simple and beautiful strawberry soda The water is done successfully, and it is good for entertaining guests.

After receiving the soda, Derrick had to admit that Ryan is a very life-saving person. If he entertained his comrades, a bottle of iced drink would be good, so he wouldn't bother to prepare any soda. "Ryan, are you interested in entering the war department?"

Derrick opened the door and explained his intentions. He was here to dig people. Ryan was too talented to stay in the logistics. This is an excellent fighter. He should be in a place where he can perform his abilities, not buried in the logistics department all day long. Deal with trivia. He asked when he came, Ryan had actually been in the kitchen for ten years before coming to Xingtianjian. The ten-year kitchen career has not reduced Ryan's vigor at all, which shows how much work he has to spend in private to exercise and improve himself.

"Stay in the war department, you can use the abilities of a soldier and tap more of your own potential." Derrick lobbied, "As a warrior, you should go deep into the battlefield and throw your flesh and blood in order to defend your home and country."

Ryan heard him finish his words, and then said his own opinion, "Sorry, I have no plan to enter the war department."

"Why?" Isn't he exercising, trying to improve his individual ability, not to enter the battlefield?

Lane said: "My goal now is to become a mecha restorer."

"Is it possible to become a restorer codenamed zero?"

Ryan was introverted, which was just thinking about it in his heart, but Derrick actually broke it. Pursing his mouth, Ryan didn't speak, but not speaking was tantamount to acquiescence.

Derrick slapped his forehead, "The combat brigade can also fight side by side with the general."

"Sorry, my heart is set."

"I won't give up." Derrick didn't say, it's too difficult to become an exclusive restorer, it's not as easy as changing jobs. "I wish you success too."

"thanks."

Before leaving, Derrick: "Ryan, with your ability, you shouldn't be assigned to the kitchen."

Ryan smiled faintly, "Inadvertently offended classmates." Because he was too good in school, he was used by someone to graduate from the army and became a member of the kitchen. If his family has no power or influence, he has a small planting star, he can't move to change places for himself, he can't protest, he can only bear it.

Derrick instantly understood, and pressed Ryan's shoulder comfortably, "Xing Tianjian is under the leadership of the general. It is fair and just enough. But there is inevitability among people. If you get into trouble, come to me, although my rank is It's not big, the job is not high, but there are some relationships, and if you can help, it will definitely help."

"thanks."

"My brothers don't need to be so polite." After a few days of getting along, Derrick and Ryan have become brothers, "Okay, no need to give it away."

Derrick went out and returned to the floor where his service was. On the way to the elevator, he met General Alston.

"General!" Derrick stood aside and saluted. When the general passed by, he murmured to himself, "What is the general doing in the logistics department? This direction is only for Laine's dormitory. Is it possible to look for Laine? Me?What are you thinking about? How could it be possible that Ryan and the general have met twice even if they are full, and it would never be because of that bowl of noodles."
