Chapter 1875 Popular Science
Manbao couldn't help but hold Changyu's hand and wanted to explain to her that the inheritance of this disease has nothing to do with when one is born, but is related to genetic genes, or in other words, chromosomes.
She actually went into great detail, but Changyu didn't understand a word. She continued, using words she could understand, "So you're saying that Mother's illness was only passed on to Mingda, and not to the Crown Prince or Third Brother? Isn't that too unfair of God to Mingda?"
Manbao: "...What does this have to do with God? Never mind. There's a bit of luck involved, it seems, but the main reason is genetics. I'm speculating, though there's no concrete evidence yet, that it might be due to one of the X chromosomes, which is why Mingda inherited this condition."
Changyu's eyes were hazy and he didn't understand.
Manbao sighed and didn't explain.
Forget it. Instead of explaining to her, I might as well go and chat with Bai Shan. At least he can understand what she says.
Manbao stood up, patted her butt and was about to leave. Changyu grabbed her and when she looked at him, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Last time you said you would pass something to Wei Yu for me..."
Manbao immediately sat down next to her, and her whole body became more energetic. She asked, "What do you want to give to Wei Yu?"
Chang Yu blushed slightly and said, "What I want to ask is whether he has anything to give me."
Manbao: ...
"Of course," Chang Yu said shyly, "It's only right to reciprocate. I'll also give him something."
She stood up and found a purse on the shelf and gave it to her, blushing and saying, "Give this to him. After he gives you something, you can give it to him again."
Manbao took it and looked at it over and over again, and was very surprised. "You are so good at sewing?"
Much better than her.
Chang Yu glanced at her and asked, "Are you praising me or mocking me?"
Manbao: "Would someone as sincere as me be sarcastic?"
She would, but Changyu still saw her sincerity and became happy. "Do you think I did a good job?"
She said, "Although I also think my embroidery is not very good-looking and the stitches are not fine enough, but I think it looks good at first glance."
Manbao looked at it over and over again, and after a while he reflected on himself: "No, I have to learn needlework seriously when I go back, otherwise what if it's too ugly when I sew it up for others in the future?"
Chang Yu asked, "What suture?"
"It's about suturing the human body," Manbao said. "Sometimes surgery is needed, or some external injuries require suturing to stop bleeding. The wrinkles left after healing from beautiful stitches and ugly stitches are very different."
Changyu: ...
She looked at the purse in Manbao's hand and imagined it was a human stomach or arm or leg. She shuddered and waved her hand: "Go away, goodbye. No, don't see me for the next two days. When you come to treat Mingda, don't call me when you see me."
Manbao: ...
Manbao stuffed the purse into his sleeve, hummed twice and left. He still needed her to act as a magpie to deliver a letter, but she threw it away before she could even use it. It was simply too much.
Manbao returned to Chongwenguan and was about to give the purse to Bai Shan, who would pass it on to Wei Yu, but he thought it was not appropriate to give it to him at this moment, after all, they still had several days before their day off.
So I took it back to my room and put it away. Just as I was about to go out, the system made a "ding" sound, "Host, your goods have arrived."
Manbao's eyes lit up and he took it out immediately. It was exactly three days. They were really punctual.
Manbao took out the box she received. The box was also very beautiful. She opened it happily and saw a pink and white crystal bracelet lying in the box. In the middle of the bracelet was a black object the size of a thumb. She touched it and it looked like a stone but it didn't seem to be a stone. She touched it and pondered it.
Seeing her pondering, Koko couldn't help but say, "There is an instruction manual."
Only then did Manbao notice that there was a folded piece of paper under the box. She quickly took it out and looked at it. Then, following the instructions, she found the switch behind the black stone. When she turned it on, a red light seemed to appear deep in the black stone, but when she looked closely, there was no red light.
But Manbao knew that the stone was different, the color was brighter, although it was still black.
Manbao pointed it towards the sun and asked, "Koko, do you think it's transparent?"
Koko: "...Host, that's the energy stone behind it working."
Manbao smiled embarrassedly, and then continued to think about it. She soon found a way to open the groove. With a press and a push, the back of the stone opened. Manbao saw a small dot inside, and she picked it out to take a look.
It was a very small one, only the size of a soybean, but it was square and black. Manbao looked at it on his fingertips and said curiously, "So this is an energy stone. How long can one last?"
Koko said, "Even if it's kept on all the time, this bracelet should last for over fifty years based on its consumption. If it's well maintained, it should last for around seventy years."
Manbao smacked his lips. "It took so long. Why did the energy stone in the medical bay run out so quickly?"
She always remembered that when she wanted a medical cabin, one of the reasons why Teacher Mo and Koko stopped her was that energy stones were expensive and needed to be replaced quickly.
But she had asked, and found out that such a small energy stone, a set of which only had about ten points, was subject to a very high tax, a 200% tax. It seemed that this was because they did not have this energy stone here, and it was far beyond the civilization of their world, so the tax was particularly high.
Koko said, "The energy stones in the medical cabin are not on the same level as this energy stone. Do you know how much energy it takes to keep a medical cabin running? Only mobile medical cabins use energy stones. In fixed ones, everyone uses electricity. Who would be so wasteful as to use energy stones?"
Koko was agitated for a moment, then seemed to sense some fluctuations. His tone immediately dropped, and he spoke mechanically in a voice that Manbao was particularly unfamiliar with, devoid of any emotion: "If the host has any questions, he can look up relevant knowledge in the encyclopedia. I recommend that the host purchase the following books for research."
After that, he retaliated by listing more than a hundred books to her, each of which was thicker than her palm.
Manbao declined without thinking.
The titles of those books made her dizzy, so she didn't want to read them.
Having read many books, Manbao, who is no longer a child, already knows that some books cannot be understood just by knowing all the words. Her time is limited, and she is better off not studying things that cannot be produced in this world.
It is better to read other easy-to-understand books to get a general idea of it, so that you know that there is such a thing in the world.
So Manbao declined politely, and knowing that the main system must have come here again, she tacitly did not discuss anything else with Keke. She pressed the energy stone back, thinking that this one was enough for Mingda to use for a lifetime. When she got older and the energy stone was gone, she would replace it for her.
But how can I convince her to keep wearing this and never take it off?
