Song Tingyun listened to Catherine's words, his expression unchanged, and said, "I'll send a message and ask."
On the other side, inside the Zhouxu starship.
When Fu Qin received the message from Song Tingyun, she was sitting at the front of the laboratory table, allowing Zhou Xu to fiddle with her right arm with an instrument that seemed a little strange to her.
After examination, it was found that there was no serious problem with her right arm. The main problem was that some connecting nerves were broken, and there were also some minor bone fractures.
Zhou Xu was repairing her broken nerves at this time.
Seeing the new message alert on the computer, Fu Qin, who had nothing to do, clicked it and took a look.
【Rest at 10pm, please do not disturb unless it is urgent: Are you still busy? 】
Fu quilt: “!”
The moment she saw Song Tingyun's message, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten about the meeting.
"We seem to have forgotten about the meeting." Fu Qin said to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu glanced at her and said, "I've said everything I need to say. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."
Fu Qin thought about it and it seemed so.
And it's not just Zhou Xu, it seems to be the same whether she is there or not.
So she replied to Song Tingyun:
Your father: There's something wrong with my arm. Zhou Xu is helping me fix it. We won't go over there. You guys continue.
Song Tingyun replied immediately:
[Resting at 10pm, please do not disturb unless it is urgent: What happened to your arm? ]
Fu Qin thought about it and felt that it was too complicated to explain, so he simply took a photo of his right arm and sent it over.
In order to connect the nerves, Zhou Xu disassembled her right arm, revealing the skeleton inside, which looked somewhat hideous in the photo.
However, it only looked scary, because the nerves were severed, and Fu Qin didn't even feel any pain. He watched Zhou Xu's operation calmly throughout the whole process, as if it was not his own arm that was connected.
But the viewer doesn't think so.
Song Tingyun was shocked the moment he received the photo.
Normally someone who never showed his emotions, this time his reaction was so big that several other people in the video conference noticed it.
Catherine asked curiously, "What's wrong, Marshal? You look a little unhappy."
"Has something happened again?" Moran asked nervously.
At this time, Song Tingyun had already realized that the matter might not be as serious as he had imagined.
If Fu Qin was seriously injured, No. 006 would definitely tell him instead of keeping it silent.
And if there really was a problem, Fu Qin would not have sent it to him so openly.
Thinking of this, Song Tingyun's expression eased a lot, "It's okay, Fu Qin and Zhou Xu have things to deal with, so they can't come."
As he said this, he also sent a message to Fu Qin:
【Resettled at 10pm, no urgent matters, please do not disturb me: Is this serious?】
Your father: It's not serious.
[I'll be at bedtime at 10pm. Please don't disturb me unless it's urgent. Okay, you guys go ahead and do your thing. We'll talk in detail later.]
Your father: OK.
After seeing Fu Qin's reply, Song Tingyun put down his laptop and looked at the others, "Let's continue."
Repairing nerves is a delicate job that requires time and patience.
Although it was not a big problem, Zhou Xu still spent more than an hour to repair Fu Qin's right arm.
At this time, Fu Qin had already yawned several times in a row.
Just when Zhou Xu finished connecting the last nerve, Fu Qin felt a sudden pain in her right arm, which instantly woke her up from her sleepiness.
The pain comes quickly and goes away quickly.
Soon, the right arm regained consciousness.
"Okay, you try it." Zhou Xu looked at Fu Qin.
Fu Qin tried to raise his arms but encountered no resistance.
She tried to clench her fist again, still very flexible
"no problem."
“Okay.” Zhou Xu put away his tools and put the instrument back in place.
"Although it's a bit disgusting to say this, I hope you can put your own safety first before taking action in the future and don't get hurt again."
Fu Qin was stunned when he heard this.
Zhou Xu was organizing the toolbox with his back to her. Fu Qin couldn't see his expression, nor could she understand the emotions in his words.
Fu Qin lowered his eyes and looked at his right arm again.
It has been completely repaired and there is no problem from the outside, but this is all because of Zhou Xu. If Zhou Xu was not there, her arm would still be unable to move.
Zhou Xu was right. It was not a good idea to always ask him to fix things.
Fu Qin thought about it and replied, "Okay, I'll pay attention."
Zhou Xu packed his things silently without saying anything else.
After a while, just as Fu Qin was about to get up and say goodbye, Zhou Xu received a message.
After opening it and taking a quick look, he turned to Fu Qin and said, "The nearby water quality inspection report is out."
Before Zhou Xu repaired Fu Qin's arm, he had already contacted other researchers in the institute to go to the nearby area to collect water samples for testing.
Fu Qin's attention was instantly drawn. "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Zhou Xu opened the report and quickly scanned its contents. "The water quality here seems to be no different from that of other sources, except that it contains a rare mineral."
After saying this, Zhou Xu suddenly realized that the name of this rare mineral looked familiar.
After thinking it over carefully, he logged into the database of the Interstellar Empire and quickly searched for the mineral called black phosphorus.
Information related to black phosphorus quickly popped up on the optical computer.
Zhou Xu scanned the content and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I think I may know the reason why mutants mutate," he said.
"What?" Fu Qin came closer to him.
Zhou Xu showed Fu Qin the information he had found about Xuan Phosphorus.
According to the information, black phosphorus is useless to humans, but it is a great tonic for the Zerg.
By absorbing the energy from the black phosphorus, the Zerg can increase their mental power limit.
Therefore, during the Imperial period, most Zerg were entrenched on planets with black phosphorus veins.
But the limited mineral veins will always be absorbed. In order to obtain more black phosphorus, the Zerg have occupied human territory and seized the imperial planets many times over the past thousands of years.
The Empire once tried to make peace with the Zerg and offered to sell all the black phosphorus ore in the territory to them, but the Zerg's greed and tyranny were beyond their expectations.
They just want to get something for free.
To the Zerg, humans were nothing, so they could just kill them all. That way, the planets with the black phosphorus ore would be theirs.
It was also because of this incident that the Empire made up its mind to eliminate the Zerg.
Now, the information about the black phosphorus ore has been completely sealed with the extinction of the Zerg. If Zhou Xu had not come across it before when he was studying the Zerg and had some impression of it, he would have almost not noticed it.
After reading the content, Fu Qin asked, "Do you think this mineral is the key to mutants' transformation?"
Zhou Xu nodded. "It's extremely attractive to the Zerg. If there's black phosphorus ore nearby, it's possible that the Zerg's genes will be affected, directly overwriting the human genes and becoming fully formed."
"But this is just my guess, and it needs experimental verification." Zhou Xu said.
Fu Qin heard this and asked, "So are we going to look for black phosphorus ore now?"
"Well, since there are trace amounts of black phosphorus ore in the stream water, it means there must be a black phosphorus ore vein nearby."
Fu Qin nodded and said, "Okay, let's start digging."
The task of finding mineral veins naturally fell on the Chengying Legion.
But in addition to guarding the safety of the surrounding area, the Chengying Legion team also had to spare manpower to repair the warships, so there was really no extra manpower to mine.
For this reason, No. 006 had to apply to Song Tingyun for the transfer of manpower.
It is said that because of Fu Qin, several teams in the Chengying Legion fought for the mining quota. After fighting for half a day, Team 011 successfully obtained the mining rights and was given the opportunity to meet the idol.
After receiving the appointment, Team 011 excitedly picked up various mining and detection tools and immediately rushed to Planet C-098.
Of course, this is a later story.
Before this, not long after Fu Qin assigned the task to No. 006, he received a voice call from Song Tingyun.
Fu Qin was about to go on patrol nearby. While answering the phone, he walked towards the dense forest on the side.
"Is your meeting over?" Fu Qin asked.
"Well," Song Tingyun responded from the other end, "How's your arm?"
"It's okay, it's been fixed." As he said this, Fu Qin moved his right arm, although Song Tingyun on the other end couldn't see it.
"Will there be any sequelae?" Song Tingyun asked again.
Fu Qin thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Xu didn't say anything, so it probably doesn't exist."
Hearing this, Song Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and his last bit of worry was gone.
Song Tingyun: "So what happened? Can you tell me?"
Although Song Tingyun had roughly guessed the cause of Fu Qin's injury based on the location of her injury and No. 006's detailed description of the process, he still wanted to hear Fu Qin's own words.
Without thinking, Fu Qin briefly recounted the entire process from leaving the meeting room to the treatment of her arm.
Song Tingyun had already heard the previous version of the content, but he still chose to listen to it patiently.
Finally, Fu Qin explained, "The nerves in my arm were severed when the weapon pierced the wall."
After listening to Fu Qin's version, Song Tingyun couldn't help but say helplessly: "You are really a man of great skill and courage."
"I won't do that next time," Fu Qin said, "I know what I'm doing now."
After this practice, Fu Qin already had a rough idea of how much force would cause backlash on his arm, and from then on he just had to control the force within this range.
But Song Tingyun was very unsure about what Fu Qin said.
Twenty years ago, Fu Qin told him confidently that he could stop the imperial army.
What's the result?
Fu Qin did stop them, but she also died in that battle.
This has almost become a source of worry for Song Tingyun.
I thought the Federation was now at peace, and with Fu Qin's abilities, she could even roam the entire galaxy without encountering any danger. But who could have imagined that the Zerg mutants would make a comeback.
They knew very little about this group of mutants, including their exact number and distribution. No one knew when the mutants would launch an attack.
Moreover, what Song Tingyun was most worried about was whether the second-generation Zerg mutants would be able to control ordinary people like the first-generation.
If the mutants manipulate the citizens of the Federation to fight against them, can they then kill them directly like they killed the Imperial Army in the past?
Thinking of this, Song Tingyun couldn't help but say: "I have a selfish request, I hope you can agree to it."
"What?" Fu Qin asked.
"If you encounter an unsolvable crisis in the future, do not hesitate, leave immediately. The Federation is not your responsibility, and you do not have to fight for anyone."
