Chapter 470 Water Mushroom
Yancheng suffered heavy casualties, but at least it got rid of the control of the nanochip, and Yancheng delivered supplies to Fucheng as promised.
Among the supplies transported by Yancheng, there is a strange kind of waterweed. Yancheng calls this waterweed water mushroom because it looks round and plump, very similar to mushrooms.
This kind of water mushroom grew wildly at the foot of the mine. People in Yancheng picked some and took them back for research. They found that the skin of the water mushroom was actually very thin. Apart from the skin, there was transparent liquid inside.
After drying naturally, this transparent liquid will become hard and elastic, just like plastic. But the difference is that this jelly is stronger and more durable than plastic.
The people of Yancheng made a target board out of the liquid of the water mushroom and shot at it with bullets. When the bullets touched the target board, they were directly bounced off, leaving no trace on the target board.
They tried burning it, but the more they burned it, the harder it became. But if it came into contact with water, it would slowly soften and turn into the original pool of liquid.
Researchers in Yancheng realized that this was a good thing, so they tried their best to study it, and finally they developed a medicine that would prevent water mushrooms from being softened by water. As long as a drop of medicine is poured into the water mushroom liquid, the water mushroom liquid will not be softened by water after it is dried and fixed.
The observation room on the new ship that Xia Xiaoman saw when he came back was made of liquid from water mushrooms.
The cooperation with Yancheng was brought about by Luo Hongwei, while the cooperation with Xinggang City was facilitated by Xia Xiaoman and his team.
Xinggang City is also now out of the control of the nanochips, but they are not as miserable as Yancheng.
There are not many resources in Xinggang City that can allow the Zhou family to suck blood, and it has long been forgotten by the Zhou family.
The Zhou family members stationed in Xinggang City did not pay attention to the management of Xinggang City. The nanochips on the survivors of the underground city were taken out, but the Zhou family members did not know about it. They lived a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, not knowing what year it was. It was not until they were captured by the military of Xinggang City that they realized that Xinggang City had been out of the control of the Zhou family.
In return, Xinggang City also sent several ships of supplies to Fucheng for free. Xinggang City was poor and could not afford to send ore, but it could still afford to send water vines, crucian carp and the like.
By cooperating with the two cities, Fucheng became wealthy instantly, and Yu Jie immediately arranged for people to build an elevator.
She was originally worried about whether the steel used to build the elevator would freeze and crack in extreme cold weather. But with the water mushroom liquid, she no longer had to worry about this problem.
The plates made of water mushroom liquid are resistant to freezing and will not be damaged even at minus 100 degrees Celsius. They are also resistant to heat, but will melt when touching water. However, this problem has been perfectly solved.
Jiang Yue sent a message: "In addition to the main frame and spare parts of the elevator built this time, the remaining outer panels are all made of this water mushroom liquid, which can reduce the use of steel and speed up the construction of the elevator."
"I heard that your ship will be repaired for two days. I guess you will need water mushroom liquid."
When Xia Xiaoman saw the information, she was looking forward to what the ship would look like after it was repaired, and hoped that there would also be an observation room.
After sending messages to Jiang Yue, they walked to the laboratory in a short while. Fu Baiwei had woken up, but she was still a little dizzy and closed her eyes to rest.
Hearing someone coming in, Fu Baiwei opened her eyes and asked, "Come back from outside?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded. "From what they said, do you agree to let them perform surgery on you?"
Fu Baiwei hummed, "Didn't you say you would help me with treatment and turn me into a normal person? How can you treat me without surgery?"
Xia Xiaoman was relieved to hear that it was she who agreed to the surgery. "When I come back from the next mission, I'll tell Mayor Yu to let you out!"
Fu Baiwei closed her eyes and said, "No need, it's fine to stay here. Let's talk about it after I become a normal person!"
She would only be disliked if she went out like this. It would be better for her to stay in the laboratory, at least someone would serve her food and drink.
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a while, then said, "Three people died in my fleet, do you want to join?"
Fu Baiwei can move freely in the outside world without an oxygen tank. If she joins the fleet, she will be suitable for both exploring the terrain and attacking the enemy.
Fu Baiwei was surprised when she heard Xia Xiaoman's words. "You got me arrested, and you dared to let me join your fleet. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Xia Xiaoman laughed and said, "That depends on whether you have the ability."
If Fu Baiwei wanted to kill her, she would not have spoken to her so calmly when she first stepped into the room.
Fu Baiwei closed her eyes again. "My body has mutated. After eating human flesh, I have an appetite for humans. You have been living with me day and night. Sooner or later, you will become my food. So don't even think about joining the fleet. I won't go."
She has to stay in the laboratory for treatment and recover to her previous state as soon as possible.
Xia Xiaoman didn't know whether Fu Baiwei was trying to scare her or really wanted to eat human flesh, but seeing that Fu Baiwei didn't want to join the fleet, she didn't force her.
After leaving the laboratory, Xia Xiaoman went to the hospital to visit Zhang Can. Zhang Can had fallen asleep. His body had been extremely weak due to long-term bumps and bloodletting. Now that he had finally reached a safe place, he soon fell asleep.
Seeing that Zhang Can was not in danger of life, Xia Xiaoman went home.
After a comfortable sleep at home, Maodan urged him to go out when he woke up. Xia Xiaoman wanted to tease Maodan and deliberately ate breakfast slowly, which made Maodan so anxious that he almost spoke human language.
After breakfast, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan to the science museum on the sixth floor.
Director Hou seemed to have expected them to come and had been waiting in the Science Museum since early in the morning. Xia Xiaoman walked into the Science Museum and was about to say hello to Director Hou when Maodan ran past her and bit his trouser leg as they headed towards the Wild Garden.
Director Hou’s pants were almost pulled off. He pulled at the waistband of his pants and shouted, “Stop pulling, stop pulling. Your wife and child are not in the wild park, they are in the nursery!”
When Maodan heard this, he opened his mouth and called out to him, "Where is the nursery? Take it there quickly! It wants to see its wife and children."
Director Hou originally wanted to keep it a secret before telling Xia Xiaoman that Nini had given birth to wolf cubs, but after being interrupted by Maodan, he had no choice but to take the child to the nursery.
In the nursery, Nini was lying on a soft blanket with three chubby little wolf cubs snuggling together and sleeping underneath her.
When Maodan saw Nini and the wolf cub, he wagged his tail excitedly and ran over to lick Nini's fur and wash her face with his tongue.
Xia Xiaoman glanced at Maodan's family of five and said with a smile, "Director Hou, since Nini has given birth to a wolf cub, I will take Nini and the wolf cub away today."
When Director Hou heard this, he was immediately displeased, "You can take Nini away, but you absolutely cannot take the wolf cub!"
Mayor Yu said that Nini could be raised by Xia Xiaoman, and it was impossible for Xia Xiaoman to take the wolf cub away no matter what!
