The Witch's Taste

Chapter 343
The fishing brother’s surname is Qiu. He is not a first-generation immigrant, but a human resident born in the Garcia Sector. It is said that his family has lived here for at least seven or eight generations. It is unknown where he immigrated from even further back. Came here.

Brother Qiu’s work is not bad either.PhD in Energy Engineering, currently working at the Federal Institute of Positronics, with the research direction of "Enrichment and Confinement of Positrons".

It may sound confusing to laymen, but when it comes to the application results of this research direction, many military fans will immediately be familiar with it:

The positron siege gun is one of the most powerful directed energy main guns for anti-matter-level battleships. It is also a frequent subject in many military literature creations.

Suzuna Tsukinomiya was giving Chen Ziang some popular science about "positron siege cannons", and Brother Qiu didn't look proud at all. He just waved his hand and said casually:
"Those of us who work in the research institute are just doing theory for a living. The really powerful ones are the scientific research departments of the companies, especially the Antimatter Engineering Laboratory of the Bakht Group. Those are the top ones with a monthly salary of more than 30. There are military talents.”

"It's awesome to be able to enter the military industry research institute." Chen Zi'ang complimented, "I thought the federation set restrictions on humans in these sensitive fields."

"Of course there are restrictions, but they are only limited to three generations of immigrants." Brother Qiu chuckled, "With my background, it is not a piece of cake to pass the federal political review."

Tsukinomiya Suzuna quietly winked at Chen Ziang.

If this person's professional level allows him to enter a research institute, then he is definitely worth poaching, but since he got his iron rice bowl through political review, poaching may be more difficult.

Chen Ziang used his eyes to signal her to calm down.

He didn't just want to recruit Brother Qiu to join the starship, but he wanted to use him to gain access to the academic network.

Since you are engaged in theoretical research on military industry, you must know which anthropologists are in your circle, right?You should know at least a few human engineers in industrial manufacturing, right?
Instead of searching aimlessly, it is better to persuade Brother Qiu to get the contact information of those talents!
Although Chen Ziang poured medicine into the reservoir in front of him, this old man Qiu was also open-minded. He not only had a lively chat with the two of them, but also invited them home for dinner after finishing work at noon.

My brother's home is located in a high-end apartment in the city center. Just looking at the property, you can tell that the rent is quite high.The furnishings at home are also in a common middle-class style, and the sister-in-law is a young and beautiful woman, but she seems to be trying to force a smile.

After the butter-roasted chicken was brought to the table, the wife called Brother Qiu to the kitchen on the grounds that "there was no parsley in the kitchen."

Chen Ziang and Suzuna Tsukinomiya looked at each other, and both of them pricked up their ears at the same time, using their hearing beyond ordinary people to eavesdrop on the conversation in the kitchen.

"Where did you find these two people? They can't speak a bit of Elvish. They can't be country bumpkin immigrants from the empire."

"Don't worry about it, I have my own intentions."

"I'm telling you, don't be unnecessarily kind. Previously, Lao Lou accepted several human refugees from the Edge Sector, but one day they suddenly left without saying goodbye and even stole all his wife's jewelry and necklaces. .”

"What are you talking about? Don't look at people with this stereotype! And these two are not refugees..."

Probably Brother Qiu's tone was fierce. Although his wife was still dissatisfied, she didn't say anything more.

"It's very interesting." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a low smile, "Senior, he may have guessed our identities. After all, we didn't disguise our appearance."

"If that's the case..." Chen Zi'ang said thoughtfully, "Should we directly state our intention?"

"I think it's better not to." Tsukimiya Suzuna shook her head, "He is asking for something from us, not being manipulated by us. It's too early to give him trust now."

"Indeed." Chen Ziang lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.

Then I saw today’s current affairs news website. Using the translation software that comes with the browser, the translated front-page news title was:
"Starship Humans - hapless displaced refugees, or spies of an evil empire?" 》Although he knew the timeline of future generations and had some expectations of what was about to happen, Chen Ziang couldn't help but frown when he saw this kind of blatant propaganda that incited hatred.

So annoying.

Now we can only hope that the Federation can get as many valuable humans out as possible before cleaning up internally.

On the starship.

After learning about the turn of public opinion in the Garcia sector, nervousness began to spread among the starship's top human beings.

The citizens of Galapasia are basically not aware of the destruction of the local defense fleet in the sector, but the people on the Forever know this clearly, and they can naturally guess that the Federation has established the main tone of hostility to humans at this time, and The early stage of public opinion preparation has begun.

And the end that this route leads to must be war.

Accompanied by Song Mingyuan and others, Xia Qingyu inspected the progress of the fleet framework construction of the Instantaneous, and then completed a series of tasks, and then came alone to the flank and tail of the Forever.

This is a restricted area strictly guarded by the military.At the entrance to Experimental Area 14 in the depths, a "High Biohazard" sign is posted on the air barrier door.

Without squinting, Xia Qingyu walked through the corridor in the semi-polluted area and stepped into the heavily protected experimental area. Through the thick reinforced glass window, she saw Suifeng Risu inside, dissecting a corpse on the operating bed.

"How's the progress?" Xia Qingyu asked indifferently through the intercom on the wall.

"It's very interesting." Rio Honokaze replied, "Although the mutant Japanese encephalitis pathogen that is raging in Aegelaos has the physical shell of a virus, it is actually some kind of memetic infection deep down."

"Its mode of infection is not purely a viral transmission route. After being bitten and infected by mosquitoes, patients will develop so-called hypochondriacal cognition. This cognition will cause specific mental pollution, which will eventually point to the fear of plague travelers. of subconscious worship, and the urge to spread the disease."

"Simply put, after getting sick, both the body and mind will be infected."

"The special medicine provided by the Barr Group only blocks the physical virus infection, but cannot block the mental infection. If this trend is not curbed in time, then there will be only one outcome for Aegelaos - —[Unknown Extinction].”

The so-called "unknown extinction" has occurred many times during the great colonization of the universe. All life in a star area suddenly became completely extinct in a short period of time, and the cause of its extinction is completely unknown and cannot be verified... As long as you understand the mystery and the abyss existence, you can actually roughly guess the reason.

"That's not what I care about." Xia Qingyu interrupted her, "You know what I want."

"The situation in Aegelaos cannot be replicated here." Rio Hokaze sighed and placed the blood-stained scalpel on the iron plate next to her. "First of all, Garcia is already destroying people on a large scale. There are mosquitoes, and secondly there is a lack of a sufficient number of early stage patients, so both the source of infection and the route of transmission are being closely monitored."

"This is not something you should be concerned about." Xia Qingyu remained unmoved and remained tight-lipped, "Prepare the specimens I want as soon as possible."

"I don't have much time to give you."
