Chapters 716 to 720, Fleet Commander(1/3)
Well, although the power of the spearmen is far greater than that of normal humans, the speed of this progress is still very slow. Cheng Kong was already considering whether to buy a helicopter for transportation. After all, it is a little difficult for ordinary people to move forward in such a dense forest.
When everyone arrived at the carnivorous plant area, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
The whole way was to the botanists and assistants, which were thrilling, mainly because of the appearance of venomous snakes and venomous insects. An assistant accidentally bitten by a venomous snake. Fortunately, he brought snake medicine and after simply treating the wound, Cheng Kong asked two spearmen to carry him back and send him directly to the hospital.
In the next journey, Cheng Kong slightly released a little of his own momentum, forcing all the venomous snakes and insects to avoid them. Wherever he passed, there was a crawling sound of snakes and insects escaping, which made several female assistants look a little white on their faces.
"There are the strange plants I found. For safety reasons, I had someone lay out the barbed wire."
Cheng Kong pointed to the circle of barbed wire and introduced to the botanists that there was a clearing area, which was strange. There were only some wild grass growing near the barbed wire, but there were no plants inside the barbed wire. The only problem was that the soil looked relatively soft.
After the introduction, Cheng Kong made a gesture, and a spearman immediately poured a bag of minced meat into the barbed wire.
Well, these botanists don’t understand why there is a circle of barbed wire outside? Plants are not beasts, but people can understand what happened next, why Cheng Kong surrounded barbed wire outside.
As the spearmen poured the minced meat into the barbed wire and quickly retreated, movement immediately appeared on the open space in the barbed wire where no plants grew.
Several tiny vines drilled out of the soil. Without any hesitation, they drilled into the pile of minced meat and wrapped a few pieces of minced meat tightly. A kind of mucus was secreted from the vines and began to digest the minced meat.
"My God! Large insectivorous plant?"
The youngest botanist could not help but screamed in surprise. The rest of the people looked surprised and looked surprised on their faces, staring at the vines, unwilling to move at all.
In fact, there are carnivorous plants on the earth, and so far, the total number has exceeded 600.
Among them, Venus flytrap and Nepenthes are the most famous. Of course, there are many common vegetables here.
For example, potatoes and tomatoes, the sticky hairs growing on their stems can capture and kill small insects that fall on them. After the insects fall into the soil and rot, they can absorb their nutrients through the roots.
Of course, since this phenomenon is not easy to be observed by people, many people do not know about it.
According to scientists, plants' predation ability evolved entirely to make up for the nutritional deficiencies in the surrounding environment.
There is a type of Nepenthes that can even kill small rodents such as mice.
But this is the top of the carnivorous plants on Earth. Those horror movies and carnivorous plants that can devour human-like animals in the game are impossible on Earth.
And the vine that appears in front of botanists undoubtedly has the ability to hunt humans!
This will be an epoch-making discovery in the plant world!
Thinking of this, all the botanists were excited. They grabbed the shovel and rushed towards the barbed wire, regardless of the danger that they might be scratched by the barbed wire or even entangled by vines.
Fortunately, the several spearmen standing in front of the barbed wire stopped the impulse of these botanists in time and also allowed Cheng Kong to avoid the trouble of looking for several botanists again.
"Gentlemen, are you going to be quiet? They are plants and don't run away with legs."
Under Cheng Kong's strict stop, these botanists finally calmed down a little of their excitement.
The next fragrant fruit plants, grasslands, and even bullet plants made them feel that a golden avenue appeared in front of them.
All the insults I suffered in the academic community before are worth it!
The assistants were also very excited. Although they could not judge the impact of these plants on the academic community like botanists, they could also understand something.
After seeing all the carnivorous plants appear, Cheng Kong immediately ordered that a vampire immediately put on a loose raincoat, took tools and rushed into the barbed wire.
When he rushed to the barbed wire, the vampire gently tapped the ground, and the barbed wire about 1.6 meters high was easily overturned by it.
When he noticed that a living creature appeared, the vines reacted the fastest, and then he pestered the vampire.
The vampire was responsive and waved a short knife in his hand and cut off several vines in the waist. A pocket made of copper wire immediately put the cut vines in, and then threw them out. A spearman quickly put the vines inside into a corrosion-resistant plastic box.
Next was the grassland, which had grown to more than 30 square meters. When the vampire approached, it turned over and rose up, just like a big net covering the vampire.
Seeing this scene, the botanists exclaimed, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.
They couldn't help but feel scared of their previous actions.
What will happen if such a strange carnivorous plant with great attacks hits itself? You can know this with your brain.
Even the most dedicated scientists will be afraid of death. Of course, if it is critical to the experiment, well, this might be possible.
As for the female assistants, they all closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to witness the tragedy that would happen next.
But what happened next was beyond his imagination. At a distance that was difficult for normal humans to avoid, the guy who rushed in to collect plant materials actually avoided the attack of the grass at a speed that was beyond the naked eye and cut more than 30 centimeters of turf from him.
Soon, the seeds of the fragrant fruit plant and the bullet plant were also taken out by the vampire.
Compared with the first two plants, the allspice and bullet plants are more threatening to vampires.
After all, even vampires are unbearable for the tempting aroma emitted by the fragrant fruit plant, and the seeds shot by the bullet plant have hit several holes in the vampire's thighs.
No matter what, the vampire finally completed the task, successfully escaped from the barbed wire, and returned to Cheng Kong.
Next, Cheng Kong made his own request to the botanists.
First, before obtaining your own permission, no information or materials about these plants can be disclosed or transmitted to the outside world.
Second, the research direction must move in the direction you require. If you have spare energy, these botanists can choose their own research direction.
These botanists did not protest against Cheng Kong's request. After all, the ownership of these plants is Cheng Kong, and the research funds are also provided by Cheng Kong. As for the research results, they are naturally owned by Cheng Kong.
These botanists actually didn't think about things that were so far away. They are now so crazy that they want to immediately devote themselves to the experiment!
According to the requirements of botanists, after leaving several automatic cameras outside the barbed wire, a large group of people began to quickly evacuate out of the dense forest.
The botanists were extremely excited at this time, and even Cheng Kong proposed to eat something on the road and continue to go back. They all showed a look of dissatisfaction.
Well, Cheng Kong understood this dissatisfaction and told Butler James to do a good job in the logistics support of the laboratory, and the chef needed to stay at least one to ensure the supply of food in the laboratory, etc.
After returning to the residential area, the botanists and even their assistants were reluctant to waste their time saying goodbye to Cheng Kong, and hurriedly pushed the cart with plant materials into the elevator, ready to join the hot experiment.
As the plant laboratory entered the research direction required by Cheng Kong, Cheng Kong also decided to resolve his thoughts. As for what carnivorous plants can be studied, or what changes will become in the hands of botanists, it will take time to prove it.
After finishing the matter, that night, Cheng Kong, Lao Ma and others enjoyed a seafood meal, and then quietly arrived at the port, followed by a large group of pirates.
After this period of continuous replication, the number of pirates on Achilles Island has exceeded 300.
These guys from the hero world are much easier to feed than ordinary humans, and they can eat even raw fish.
Therefore, Cheng Kong had ordered the housekeeper James to arrange personnel to convert the two seized pirate mother ships into fishing boats and go out to sea to fish to reduce the consumption of food.
This time he went out to sea, butler James also followed Cheng Kong.
As time passed, butler James gradually gained the trust of Cheng Kong and others, so he could know some things appropriately so that when he arranged the island affairs, he would be targeted and not be too chaotic.
As oil continues to pour into the yacht, the three luxury yachts are loaded with pirates, and these pirates will be assigned to the summoned warships.
In addition, Cheng Kong is also preparing to expand the port and extend it so that more warships can be docked.
"Master, the oil has been infused and you can go to sea."
A pirate captain ran to Cheng Kong and reported.
"Then let's get on the boat."
After Cheng Kong and others got on the boat, the engine of the luxury yacht began to start and drove out of the port with the sound of waves.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Housekeeper James looked puzzled. He really didn't understand why the owner went out to sea in the middle of the night and called himself up. You should know that there were a lot of documents that needed to be given in his study.
These documents involve all aspects of the island, new buildings, port expansion, and even the formulation of salary and benefits of newly recruited employees, etc. Well, there is also a list of external procurement that requires careful organization by yourself.
Of course, as a qualified butler, James did not ask easily. If the owner wanted to tell him, he would not have to ask himself.
And taking this secret action with you means that you begin to gain the trust of your master and begin to move closer to the core position.
This process is something that many wealthy butlers have gone through. Butler James knows that at this time, asking less questions and talking less is the right way.
Three luxury yachts circled Achilles Island for half a circle, then accelerated along the east side of Achilles Island and headed towards the deep sea.
The moonlight today is very dim, and it is almost impossible to reach out to see your fingers on the sea, and there is darkness around it.
Under the faint moonlight, the ink blue sea water extends out, as if there is a huge monster hidden, and it is possible to rush out at any time.
After more than two hours of sailing, a heavy rain suddenly fell and the waves were not very high.
At the speed of a luxury yacht, you can drive out of this storm-covered sea area within half an hour, but what surprised Housekeeper James was that Cheng Kong issued an order to stop the ship at this time.
This made James feel urge to advise, but he finally fell silent.
With Cheng Kong's order, three luxury yachts stopped on the undulating sea surface, and heavy rain continued to fall, making everyone standing on the deck wet.
In the face of wind, waves and heavy rain, even wearing the tightest raincoat cannot block the invasion of sea water.
Butler James used a rope to fix himself on the flagpole, but he had been hit by several waves.
What surprised him even more was that Cheng Kong and others, and even the surprisingly large number of sailors, stood on the deck and swung as the ship swung, without shaking at all.
"Ou, NO, Buy Gad! Mr. Ma fell into the water!"
At this moment, Butler James saw Mr. Ma take off his suit and trousers soaked in the sea water, wearing a pair of shorts, and then fall into the sea water.
This scene made Butler James scream anxiously. Although the wind and waves here are not very big, the people who fell into the sea could not escape from themselves under the wind and waves. If they were lucky, they might be rescued. If they were lucky, they would be directly hit by the wind and waves and sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Don't worry, James, Lao Ma is not an ordinary person."
Cheng Kong smiled and moved his position to the side of the ship, stared at the place where the old horse fell into the water, and instructed the pirates at the helm to drive the yacht out of this area as much as possible.
What a joke, Lao Ma now has the ability to control water. Not to mention whether he can dive into the deepest seabed, at least in the roar of the storm, it is impossible to be hurt.
With Lao Ma's physique, the 90% storm damage was reduced, which is completely worth mentioning.
As the yacht retreated for a distance, a dark blue ball of light suddenly appeared where the old horse fell into the water, and even in the impact of the strong wind, there was no sway.
To be continued...
