Chapter 209 Pregnant?
Admiral Lu was indeed capable. After marrying his wife, he rose rapidly and finally secured the position of admiral.
Being in power does not mean that you don't need the help of your wife. This wife is resourceful and scheming, and can subdue the Lu family.
But no matter how strong a person is, she has her weaknesses. She didn't like General Lu's third wife, and as a result, she didn't like her stepson either.
A year ago, General Lu insisted on keeping his stepson by his side and helping him quickly gain merit and get promoted, which angered his current wife.
When a lion is not making trouble, don't treat it as a cat, because it will take revenge behind your back.
Secretly, Mrs. Lu no longer managed the Lu family, causing the Lu family, who had already achieved some success, to become arrogant and left without anyone to supervise them.
Dare to ask Su Xiaocai to donate the painting for charity.
The information provided up to the time of this writing included what merits General Lu's son had achieved and what position he had been promoted to.
Su Xiaocai searched for some activities and actions of General Lu’s current wife.
Judging from the latter part, General Lu’s strong woman wife, with whom he has been married for more than 30 years, is probably going to divorce him.
Lieutenant General Bai probably had this meaning when he told her not to participate in the party if she was not interested.
Without Mrs. Lu to suppress the Lu family, the Yi family members who organized the party would not have much ability, and the party would probably not be as grand as usual.
Admiral Lu is really funny. If he leaves his wife, he will be caught in a vortex of troubles created by his family. Would the military dare to appoint a person who can't even manage his family as a general?
The army dared to give him the position of general because he had no worries.
Divorce is equivalent to bringing down oneself. I wonder if he sees this clearly.
Lieutenant General Bai was not only giving face to General Lu, but he also probably wandered around to enhance his presence.
Lieutenant General Bai is the best candidate to be the general, and the others are just second best.
Of course, it would be a good idea to delay their divorce as much as possible.
If the Bai family does not want to be too prominent, Lieutenant General Bai will take a step forward and Admiral Bai will definitely retreat.
Su Xiaocai smiled. Sitting in the position of admiral, it was sad that she could see other people's situations clearly but not her own.
In history, there have been cases where generals were demoted to lieutenant generals and then to major generals. This repeated demotion is not the first case.
Su Xiaocai wanted to find out why Zhang Jiali retired. Xiaowanzi came over and reminded her that the movie invested by Feifan Island would be released before the Harvest Festival, and asked her if she wanted to book a ticket.
The ticket price for watching a movie at New World is not expensive, only ten yuan per show.
"Order one." Su Xiaocai had no intention of supporting the movie. She just wanted to see how the two actresses performed and whether it was worth continuing to invest.
"Don't you want to see Doctor Ji?" Xiaowanzi asked puzzledly.
"Little housekeeper, when did you become an emotional expert? Don't bother with us." Let's talk about romantic things later.
Su Xiaocai patted Xiao Wanzi and said, "I want to have pickled fish and beef rice noodles tonight."
Chibi Maruko obeyed the order and jumped to cook.
In the basement, Su Xiaocai made parts for the weapon model. The quality of the weapon must be strictly controlled, and each module can be reassembled after destruction.
Such a project is undoubtedly huge. Drawing a blueprint does not mean it can be made. Many times, it requires repeated consideration. New weapons are a big challenge for her.
Su Xiaocai concentrates on her work, carefully measuring the precision of the newly made parts.
When she came to her senses, Xiaowanzi had already prepared the meal, and Ji Li also sent her a message saying that he had some new discoveries.
"Come over here, Xiaowanzi has just finished cooking."
Ji Li arrived within two minutes after the message was sent. He was on his way before he finished sending the message.
Knowing that Su Xiaocai would not refuse his coming.
He handed Su Xiaocai a finished product.
This finished product is the preliminary result that Su Xiaocai and he produced after referring to many people's papers and literature, and conducting several months of experiments.
The fact that Zergmen easily evolve and mutate, and completely transform from one form to another, shows that their "genes" are unstable.
The data shows that insect people and insect humans can be considered two identical species, except that their most basic "genes" make them have the same habits.
Some artificial intelligence, like the wisdom series, has an underlying logic, and then the specific functions are differentiated differently, forming different personalities and abilities.
So according to Su Xiaocai's experimental plan, Ji Li assumed that the insect man's "genes" were constantly collapsing and rebuilding, so if he could stabilize the "genes", could he easily kill it?
There were no effective drugs to repair human genes before, but now there are.
He boldly combined the golden blue healing mushroom extract with the Wu Emperor Liquid.
It turned out that both he and Su Xiaocai were right.
This combination can solidify genes and is not suitable for use in humans.
After all, solidified genes are only temporary, just like forcing people into a state where time stands still. When time moves forward again, the aftereffects will probably be severe.
But when used on insect-men, there is no such concern, and it is very likely to become a super-lethal weapon for insect-men.
The insect people will adapt to biological weapons and poison.
However, they cannot resist the natural limitations of the body. Once the genes are solidified, they cannot even repair themselves.
Su Xiaocai jumped up happily and hugged him excitedly, "Ji Li, you are amazing. Did you really make it?"
Ji Li said modestly: "I slowly tested it out based on the experimental plan you provided. I tried it on mice. Once the effect of the drug wore off, it died and could not be saved. We need to find a living insect man to try it out."
He also felt the pride that Su Xiaocai felt every time she developed something.
So when the good news came out, he couldn't wait to share it.
He hugged Su Xiaocai's relaxed and soft body back, and his excited heartbeat slowed down.
After the excitement, it was time to do the test. "Let's go and make more finished products and make a few warheads, and then give them to Lieutenant General Bai to test."
Such success is worth celebrating. Things that can be grown on a large scale are the cheapest. In the past, it cost an ordinary soldier thousands of yuan to kill a coward soldier.
If this really allows ordinary soldiers to easily kill insect people, then the cost will be greatly reduced, possibly within a hundred yuan.
The reduction in costs indirectly means a reduction in the threat posed by the Zerg. No matter how covetous the Empire is, the Ten Stars will have enough energy to deal with them.
After a quick dinner, they went back to work. They did experiments together, Ji Li wrote a paper, and Su Xiaocai made weapons for the finished product. They worked on each other's left and right without disturbing each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Chibi Maruko carried the big Po and came to Su Xiaocai, and it took Su Xiaocai a while to notice her.
"What's wrong, Chibi Maruko?" After so many days of being raised, Po has become much docile, eats well, has plenty of space to move around, and his fur is shiny and smooth. He is in no worse condition than Huahua.
"I think Po is pregnant."
Su Xiaocai quickly put down what she was doing and confirmed again that she had heard correctly.
Then he asked, “How did you find out?”
Chibi Maruko was very excited: "When I was feeding Huahua and Abao, Abao wanted to eat the meat in Huahua's bowl."
Normally, Abao would avoid those kinds of meat, but today he actually went for it. This was very abnormal.
How can an ordinary cat eat insect flesh? It will be transformed into insects.
Su Xiaocai calmly tried to stop smiling, but she couldn't suppress the curled corners of her lips. "Ji Li, Ji Li, come and help me check if I'm pregnant?"
Ji Li tilted his head with a blank look in his eyes. He was so focused that his brain didn't react to what he heard.
He was slow to understand that Su Xiaocai was pregnant? The first thing he wanted to ask was, who was pregnant?
Then he saw the spotted cat in front of Su Xiaocai.
"Is it Huahua's?"
"Huahua is the only male cat here." The leopard cat has a tracker installed in his body, so he can be seen wherever he goes.
"Who else but it?"
Huahua is a very peculiar breed, but cats are mammals, and Huahua's claws are too scary. If the kitten harms its mother, it must be rescued in time or artificially rescued.
Ji Li: "Now we just need to confirm whether it is pregnant?"
Su Xiaocai: “Yeah.”
"If the pregnancy is confirmed, won't you take it out and artificially inseminate it?"
"No." Su Xiaocai said mercilessly: "If Huahua's species mutated from the mother's womb, the hormone changes in Abao's body are different from those of a pet cat. If it is taken out and the change cannot be completed, I will be even more annoyed."
"Thank you for your hard work, Abao." Su Xiaocai touched Abao's chin.
Abao's pupils shrank and his ears drooped down. He was a little afraid of Su Xiaocai and didn't like to get close to her.
But it didn't dare to scratch it with its claws, and Huahua would scold it without Su Xiaocai having to slap it back.
Ji Li took off his gloves and put on another pair, "Take it up."
Abao obediently accepted Ji Li's hug. Su Xiaocai was a little jealous. "It didn't resist when you hugged it for the first time. But it would never resist me even if I was beaten to death."
The cat lying on her arm stared at Su Xiaocai warily, as if she were a weird witch who had kidnapped the cat.
Ji Li was both amused and confused. "Wait until it gives birth to kittens, then you can get closer to it and cultivate your relationship with it."
"Forget it, I only like smart guys like Huahua who know how to handle current affairs." By the way, where did Huahua go?
Chibi Maruko answered Su Xiaocai's question, "Of course Huahua is sleeping." It is the laziest creature in the house, hiding during the day and at night, and as long as there is a mat, it can curl up and sleep.
Many medical devices are located upstairs, making it convenient to temporarily treat others without having to go through the basement laboratory.
Su Xiaocai also temporarily put down the work in her hands and followed Ji Li, waiting for the results.
She prayed that Abao could give birth to a little Huahua. One was also good, proving that Huahua would not be extinct.
Soon, Abao's test results came out.
She is indeed pregnant, but we don't know how many cubs she is carrying, but it is estimated that there are more than two.
Ji Li said: "It has been pregnant for a while. In a week or two, we should be able to use the instrument to check its belly."
Return Po to her.
Su Xiaocai's eyes sparkled, and she hugged him threateningly, "Abao is awesome."
The once wild cat lay motionless in Su Xiaocai's hands, as if frozen.
Fearing that the mother cat might be emotionally unstable, Su Xiaocai carefully put the cat back on the ground.
Po immediately hid behind Chibi Maruko and looked at Su Xiaocai warily, his pupils wide open, as if accusing Su Xiaocai of bullying the cat.
Su Xiaocai thought it was time to hire a cat nanny.
The security guard was not a professional, and she needed someone who could also train the cats.
It would be a disaster if a kitten is not smart but naughty when it is born.
Moreover, cats were bred to be used on the battlefield. They can be used as hunting dogs, tracking and hunting insectmen. Even detectors may not be as useful as them.
Su Xiaocai told Ji Li about her idea, "Is it too early to consider this?"
“Why worry about things that can be solved with money?”
"That makes sense." So Su Xiaocai publicly looked for a cat trainer. Her requirements were simple, but it was hard for anyone to do it.
Do not use violent training. A cat like Huahua can scratch people and cause serious injuries when angry. Violent training is likely to cause the cat to be disgusted.
Second, the cat must understand military instructions. Third, you must have experience in biological breeding research and relevant academic certificates. Lastly, you must bring a video of the cat's past training or a trained cat.
Under the account of Wudi Ai Planting Grass.
“Here we go again.”
"Su Xiaocai: Come on, come on, no academic qualifications are needed, come and try it. As a result, those who went for the interview were either postgraduate students or extremely talented people. There was no ordinary person."
"This is the first time I've heard of such an outrageous request. As we all know, cats are the most difficult to train."
"If it were easy to recruit, Su Xiaocai wouldn't be looking for people on the account. If you can't find talented people, you can only cast a wide net."
"Is the cat you want to train cute? If it is, I will give it a try and pet it for free."
"You probably want to die. Cats that need training are either desperate or have hundreds of rats on their minds."
"Hahaha, as a professional pet trainer, I can only say that Su Xiaocai is just playing around with money. No cat is worth hiring a trainer with a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan."
"Your pet cat is definitely not worth that price. The cat in Su Xiaocai's house was stolen by someone using blasting tools."
“I haven’t read the news.”
"There is no registration deadline for this job posting, so there should be no rush."
"Is it too late for me to discipline my rebellious son now?"
"Thirty thousand is just the base price. There will be bonuses later. This is not raising a cat, this is raising a ferocious beast."
"I know the cats she has. When my dad went to her company, he saw the bodyguards walking them. They were all mixed breeds, not purebred."
"From what you said earlier, you mean that mixed breed cats can't compare to purebreds?"
"Purebreds are expensive, and purebreds are better looking."
"Human aesthetics do not represent cat aesthetics. Purebred is just a nice-sounding term people use to describe cats that are bred with close relatives."
"Su Xiaocai definitely keeps cats for more than just raising cats. You guys can't guess what the boss does. You can never guess."
There are many different opinions on the Internet. Some people decided to bring their own cats to give it a try, hoping that they might be able to use the cat to gain popularity and get away with it.
Su Xiaocai set an interview date. Just like before, she would have an interview in New World first and then another interview in reality.
She will not screen the interviewers of New World, and Wisdom 03 will come.
I don’t know if the military thought she was not busy enough, so they sent her the instrument filled with nutrient solution that they had dug out from the insect mother’s body through Lieutenant General Bai.
They wanted to ask her to study together what that semi-open space instrument was. They were afraid of encountering insect people with toys again, just like the indestructible cockroaches.
But the professors estimated that the cost of this thing was not high. To fight it, the energy consumed in the weapons alone would be a huge sum of money.
In a word, it costs money.
The appearance of this instrument is not as simple as the Ten-Star Republic, but rather has an artistic feel.
It was initially determined to be imperial technology.
