The mass-produced mushroom people do not have a language system, so this issue is very complicated.
It's not that they can't speak, but their brain structure is relatively simple, omitting not only the language part but also many self-awareness parts. To put it simply, Lin Chong and Buzhou Mountain have joined forces to create a population with an independent language, customs, social habits, laws, and clear division of labor.
You can imagine this population as an elf tribe in the magical world, where the elves guard the forest and the little yellow mushrooms serve Lin Chong.
But Lin Chong couldn't help but be surprised to find that the ZERO in front of him could actually speak human language.
"What's wrong with you?!" Lin Chong grabbed the cushion on the sofa and asked. He was holding the cushion as a defensive gesture, which really frightened him.
"Chijiya..." This guy is speaking mushroom language.
Lin Chong still understood what he said, "I can't speak human language."
"...I told you not to act dumb, or I'll throw you out of the wall!" Lin Chong threatened the little guy.
"Ah~" as if he is not afraid.
"What about taking it back?" Lin Chong sneered.
This is the most stringent provision in the Mushroom Law, and no yellow mushroom has ever been subject to this law. If it is sent back to the wall of the alien world and then taken back, its only fate will be to turn it into tin, losing its life and turning it into material.
"Okay, you found out." ZERO sighed, "I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago that I am your incarnation."
"I know you are my incarnation!" Lin Chong snorted, "I will explain to you that you can speak two languages."
"It's all due to my hard work and study in the three years since I was born..." ZERO pushed his glasses down on the bridge of his nose.
"Not only did I master Chinese, I also learned English, French, German, Latin and other popular languages around the world. At the same time, I made certain achievements in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, and published many papers with an impact factor of more than 10..."
Lin Chong couldn't stand it any longer, "You went to Deyun Club to learn crosstalk, right? What nonsense!"
While complaining, Lin Chong was thinking about killing him. There were nearly ten thousand clones, so it didn't matter if one or two died.
Thinking of this, Lin Chong grabbed him and tied him up with a shoelace.
"If you don't believe me, go to 704 and ask. Please don't kill me so easily." ZERO remained calm when facing Lin Chong's doubts. "I am a rare genius among the mushroom race. I should die on the road of exploring the true knowledge of the world, not in the hands of a fool."
Although he was scolded, Lin Chong really...kind of believed it.
Is this the big mushroom causing trouble again?
Lin Chong looked at the big mushroom again and decided to contact the chief engineer.
It's time for the regular meeting.
Lin Chong has traveled through time for more than 20 years. The chief engineer who talked to him, although still energetic, is after all over 80 years old. He has already retired from the front line and is only responsible for some administrative work.
The first leader of the 704 project team, Professor Yang, passed away a year ago at the age of 132, truly a wise man.
But when the chief engineer looked at Lin Chong again, he found that Lin Chong was no different from the day he resigned. Even the slightly shy rigor, the unintentional awkwardness when communicating with others, and the kindness that kept others at a distance were all exactly the same.
Time means nothing to the 'stuck' Lin Chong.
But it still flows rapidly on the earth, which makes the chief engineer sigh sincerely that life is finite, but the Tao is unlimited.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Lin Chong noticed that the chief engineer in the video was distracted.
"It's okay." The chief engineer pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "I just feel that life is too precious and time is too cruel."
"I'll send you more golden mushrooms this time. You must take good care of yourself," said Lin Chong.
"Don't be like that. All materials have been coordinated and discussed by multiple parties, and are distributed in the optimal ratio that takes into account the principle of fairness." The chief engineer shook his head.
"I still have privileges, and no one will say anything." Lin Chong smiled. He was deeply saddened by the death of Professor Yang a year ago. The geophysics community lost a pillar.
"It's not that Professor Yang has no chance to extend his life. In addition to the mushrooms you gave him, there have been some breakthroughs in life science and technology, but Professor Yang is still willing to follow the old tradition of returning to his roots." The chief engineer sighed.
"Besides, he always said that people's brains are not enough when they get old. I understand him. Now my brain is not enough either.
Twenty years ago, he could still take up the position personally and be in charge of the research and development of the Demon Wind and Flower Demon chips. Now, the Demon Saint chip can only be responsible for administrative affairs. If he continues to live like this, it will be of no use to the country.
"Let's not talk about that." The chief engineer waved his hand. "The report document on the demon series chips has been sent to your mailbox. There is a separate list of materials to be exchanged next year. You need to prepare more demon pills this time. Lin Man's appetite is getting bigger and bigger."
In the blink of an eye, the date for the third material exchange is approaching.
Every time materials are exchanged, there are several prerequisites that must be met, such as the military's demand for tinplate, the project team's demand for magic weapons, and especially Lin Man's demand for demon pills, which are the source of energy for Lin Man to survive on Earth and are extremely important.
Of course, Lin Chong’s personal wish is the most important. If he takes back more than 100 kilograms of golden mushrooms this time, no one will object.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"No problem." Lin Chong agreed, but in his heart he made up his mind to increase the proportion of golden mushrooms in the supplies.
Lin Chong no longer needs to worry about the exchange of materials.
He can agree to anything that exists in the other world.
Not to mention the Great Sage Xuanpeng who can exchange supplies with the demon clan, there is also Xu Junhu's entire treasure house of the Wanfa Immortal Sect, which he can take whatever he wants, and all of it is the best quality for Earth.
"Teacher, do you know about ZERO?" Lin Chong asked the question he wanted to know at the moment.
"You discovered him. I wanted to tell you about it sometime." The chief engineer smiled. "You were too busy in the past three years."
Yes. Lin Chong nodded. In the past three years, Lin Chong was either making mushroom missiles or "instilling" ideas into the Dongfeng squadron. He was extremely busy and wanted to die.
"ZERO was born in the flowerpot of a big mushroom. He was one of the mushroom people that the big mushroom mass-produced three years ago. After your simple instruction, he was sent to the virtual space of Buzhou Mountain. I originally planned to train him to have a Dharma Eye, but I discovered that he had an extremely high IQ..."
The story that the chief engineer told next sounded like a dream to Lin Chong.
ZERO means number 0. Lin Chong's little yellow mushroom army has been numbered up to 6,142, but there has never been a ZERO. ZERO thinks that he is different and unique, so he named himself ZERO.
According to tests on Earth, his IQ is over 200. In the past few years, he has obtained four doctoral degrees in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology in the virtual world of Buzhou Mountain. Of course, these are just virtual exams.
His paper on "The relationship between time and space in extreme cosmic environments", which describes the boundary of the universe, was read by Professor Yang two years ago, who called him the next generation leader of the 704 project. This was one of the reasons why he passed away peacefully.
"Such a figure is in my flowerpot?" Lin Chong still found it incredible. "It's my incarnation? How come I didn't notice it?"
"You have created more than 6,000 incarnations during this period of time. It must be difficult to focus on one of them. I think what you care about most now is why the big mushroom can produce such a... genius?" The chief engineer pointed out what Lin Chong was most worried about.
"I have to interrogate Big Mushroom." Lin Chong said, pinching his chin.
"I have to say that 704 did a lot of work when you weren't paying attention. ZERO is not dangerous. His thinking pattern is very healthy. Apart from being a bit arrogant as a genius, he would never appear by your side if he had any bad intentions towards you. If you want to destroy him, we support you." said the chief engineer.
“But it’s just such a pity.”
