Dr. An was not vague either. He moved closer and began to observe.
Qiao Xuejun and Mr. An were waiting behind.
Dr. An stood in front of the observation window, and soon his brows were furrowed, as if he had seen something extremely disgusting.
He kept looking outside, sometimes frowning, sometimes hammering the wall, but he didn't say a word.
Qiao Xuejun was so anxious that she wanted to get closer to Dr. An to watch.
Mr. An stood beside his student, even less patient than Qiao Xuejun. He looked like he wanted to push Dr. An away. He was also curious: "Xiao Li, what's going on?"
An Wenli looked outside and reached out to support his teacher: "Teacher, I'm still watching. Don't worry."
Mr. An was waiting by the side, quietly waiting.
After a while, An Wenli suddenly slapped the iron wall with an extremely angry look.
Looking at An Wenli's expression, Elder An frowned and asked, "Why do you look like that? What happened over there?"
Dr. An raged, "Those bastards! They're making provocative gestures of pooping and pissing on the ice rink, implying they want to control our water source... and now they're trying to subjugate us, asking us to become their minions."
Qiao Xuejun was a little concerned: "Did you poop or pee?"
This will cause more trouble for the purification plant, and it's quite disgusting when you think about it.
Dr. An: "They're just moving now. It's almost daybreak, and they're being pointed at by gunmen. I don't think they'd dare to do that."
"But..." Dr. An said, "Their actions mean they'll do this sooner or later. They'll probably come when no one's around. These bastards do have some intelligence."
Qiao Xuejun: "No wonder Deputy Captain Ren keeps saying they're disgusting. It seems to be true. But..."
She then said, "I wonder if mutant feces can be used as fertilizer."
In practice, fish feces is a relatively high-quality organic fertilizer, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. It has always been used in practice and is very good for growing flowers and vegetables.
But are normal fish and mutants the same thing?
After hearing this, Elder An also became interested. "The mutant's body structure and tissues have undergone obvious alienation. I wonder if the changes in the digestive system will affect the composition of excrement. It's worth a try..."
When it was completely light, the salmon ran away after just one look.
Ren Wangwang opened the door of the patrol booth and was about to call out a few experts when he heard them having a heated discussion inside. Listening further, he found out that they were actually discussing the composition of sea monster feces.
Ren Wangwang: “?”
His face turned green.
No, this is what the experts talk about? These soldiers only know how to split a sea monster's butt in half, but the experts are discussing this matter with unwavering interest.
No wonder he can't be an expert. This is something not everyone can understand.
Ren Wangwang adjusted his expression and said, "Teachers, the sea monster is gone. We can now harvest ice."
Qiao Xuejun was reminded and stopped discussing with Professor An: "Okay."
Qiao Xuejun walked out of the patrol booth and turned to look at Professor An. "Mr. An, you should rest in here for a while to avoid the wind. I'll call you when we're done. Then we'll go up the mountain together."
Elder An stopped and agreed obediently: "Okay."
Dr. An looked at Qiao Xuejun with gratitude. The teacher didn't like his words of advice.
Qiao Xuejun came out, and Dr. An came out with her.
Ren Wangwang looked at Dr. An. "Have you figured it out? What does that salmon dancing and singing on our ice rink mean?"
Dr. An repeated to Ren Wangwang and the others the analysis he had given earlier at the patrol booth.
He concluded: "It's a deterrent and a provocation. The other side thinks we can't do anything about it."
After hearing this, Ren Wangwang's face turned even greener.
Shit? Pee?
This is so disgusting. No wonder Teacher Qiao and the Elderly Care Association just had that conversation.
However... when I thought that they were just threatening me, but Teacher Qiao and Mr. An had actually thought of using their feces to make fertilizer, I felt subtly calmed down and even felt that it was not unacceptable.
No, this is not acceptable!
Dr. An said: "They are very aggressive. They seem to be very sure that we don't have enough ice and will die of thirst sooner or later. They will continue to do this and hinder our ice collection."
Ren Wangwang said, "How could we not have enough ice? It's snowing now! Even if they keep harassing the ice rink, we can go to the mountains and collect some to fill any gaps."
Qiao Xuejun asked, "What if we can't get out?"
Ren Wangwang frowned: "What?"
Qiao Xuejun said, "Isn't the temperature going to drop significantly? If it drops too low, we won't be able to get out and will have to hide inside the base, and we won't be able to harvest ice."
It was minus 70 degrees Celsius. Being outside for more than 10 minutes was extremely dangerous. The water for the entire base of 5,000 people, as well as the water for the factory, couldn't be collected in 10 minutes.
It’s all thanks to the fact that we’re stockpiling now, when the temperature hasn’t dropped to the lowest point yet.
Therefore, the sea monsters' way of action is to harass them and prevent them from hoarding ice. As long as they cannot collect enough ice, the sea monsters' goal is achieved.
Ren Wangwang said seriously, "You mean, they also know that the temperature will drop significantly?"
Dr. An said: "This is natural. They are much more sensitive to temperature changes than humans."
Ren Wangwang suddenly remembered something. "No wonder our captain gave us the task in the tailoring room so early this morning. We need to make a fish skin tent to enclose the entire patrol booth for insulation."
Ren Wangwang felt somewhat relieved: "Fortunately, we have reached a deal with Haibao and have the fish skin to keep warm."
"It's not bad. Ice-legged horses can transport ice now. They're faster than humans."
Qiao Xuejun followed the ice-harvesting team to the ice rink.
The current ice rink is the low-lying area at the foot of the mountain. It is filled with ice and snow, forming a thick layer of ice.
The ice harvesters used electric saws to cut neat blocks of ice, which they then lifted and placed in rows on the ice harvester.
Qiao Xuejun also stepped forward to help.
Ren Wangwang hurried forward and said, "Teacher Qiao, you go and rest. We'll do it."
Qiao Xuejun turned around and lifted a brick of ice onto the ice harvester. "I'll give you a hand. It'll be quick."
She wanted to finish it quickly and go up the mountain, moving as much as she could, because the sea monsters would come again soon.
Ren Wangwang couldn't help but admire: "Teacher Qiao, you are so hardworking."
This job is tiring, and the ice is heavy. This isn't what Qiao Xuejun should be doing.
Most experts should be like Dr. An, focusing on what they should do. Now Dr. An is just watching from the side, with no intention of helping at all.
No one is as diligent as Qiao Xuejun, who is not at all arrogant.
Ren Wangwang was moving things alongside them, chatting with Qiao Xuejun as they did so.
After chatting for a while, we filled up 6 ice harvesting trucks.
Ren Wangwang suddenly said, "Oh right. The captain and his crew are coming back soon. They caught another salmon and are back with a full load."
Qiao Xuejun paused: "Really? How long will it take for him to arrive?"
Ren Wangwang: "They told me it would take more than 20 minutes. Now 10 minutes have passed. It should be almost here."
