People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Chapter 69: I'm stupid, I can write

There is a way to directly ask Mon3tr Ark, but this method is best used only when Kal'tsit and himself are alone, so now they can only temporarily disband on the grounds that they cannot move forward. The corpses of those Originium beasts, after multiple tests, the final result is that they are just inert Originium minerals. At most, they are of relatively high purity. At least with a little processing, they can be directly put into the production line of Originium products or sold directly.

After everyone was dismissed, only Ark, Kal'tsit, and Mon3tr were left in the laboratory.

"Did you just say to ask Mon3tr directly?"

"Ok?"

Fang Zhou looked at Kal'tsit in surprise. He had said what he had just said, but in reality, he probably couldn't hear the sound clearly, and he was wearing a helmet...

"You can actually hear it?"

In response to Fang Ark's question, Kal'tsit rolled her eyes at him, and then, perhaps intentionally, her emerald white cat ears trembled, forcing Fang Ark to guess.

Are these animal ears of the Terrans so superior in performance?

"Yeah, I do think so."

"Can you understand what Mon3tr is saying?"

"Can't you?"

Kal'tsit shook her head silently, and Fang Ark looked at Mon3tr with sympathy.

"You don't rely on Kel'tsit to guess when you communicate with her, do you?"

Hearing Fang Ark's words, Kal'tsit frowned and looked at Fang Ark in surprise. The look in her eyes was as if she had seen something rare. To put it bluntly, Fang Ark felt that the look was as if she was looking at a fool.

Mon3tr even let out a blunt growl of disgust, and then, in front of Fang Ark's dull gaze, he picked up a pen with his obviously unsuitable claws and wrote on the notebook, a little clumsily but still smoothly, and then picked up the notebook and slapped it in front of Fang Ark.

What is written on it clearly says: You are stupid, I can write!

No... you can write... Yeah, that's true. After all, Mon3tr has been with Kal'tsit for at least two hundred years. After all, in daily communication, I can't just rely on you to yell and let me guess.

Although Mon3tr usually lives symbiotically in Kal'tsit's body, it's clear that there's no such mysterious thing as telepathy between the two.

"So if you want to ask Mon3tr anything, just ask directly. Even though all these years have passed and I still can't write well due to my size, I have no problem answering your questions."

Kal'tsit picked up the coffee and blew on it gently to cool it down, but the heat still made her frown the moment she took a sip.

So hot.

"No problem, but I noticed before, Mon3tr, do you really want to eat those Originium beasts? I mean alive."

"..."

Kal'tsit put down her coffee and looked at Mon3tr, who scratched her head with her claws. This question didn't require a written answer, so she just nodded.

call.

As expected, it was not an illusion that Mon3tr wanted to eat those Originium beasts.

Kal'tsit looked at Mon3tr in surprise. So, when they were fighting the alien fire demon, the agitation within Mon3tr was because...

"So, in your eyes, are there any special things about those Originium beasts? Can you see any difference between them?"

This question needs to be considered carefully. Mon3tr thought about it for a while and then picked up the pen, which was pitifully small for her, and wrote something on the paper and then brought it to Ark and Kal'tsit.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I just feel that there are many things in the bodies of those Originium beasts that I need, but I don't know what they are."

Looking at what Mon3tr wrote, Ark and Kal'tsit looked at each other in confusion.

This……

Well, after working on it for a long time, I finally felt like I had some clue, but it was broken again.

"Then can you feel any difference between them and you?"

Hearing this, Mon3tr shook his head again and started writing and drawing on the paper with a pen.

"I can't feel any specific difference, but they are dumber than me, without brains, and it feels very chaotic, like it's not pure enough, with a lot of impurities."

Impurities?

The first thing they thought of was what was written in the appraisal report. Although the source stone that made up the source stone beast was of high purity, it still contained a certain degree of impurities. Could the impurities that Mon3tr mentioned refer to the purity of the source stone?

If that's what you mean, it does make sense. After all, Mon3tr itself is an Originium beast. It's no exaggeration to say that you can knock off a piece and process it and use it as pure Originium. Of course, before that, you have to be able to withstand Mon3tr's claws.

Shaking his head, Fang Zhou decided to put this question aside for the time being. He glanced at the time and saw that it was already around 4:30 in the afternoon. According to his normal schedule, it should be dinner time.

"It's time for dinner, shall we?"

"No, there's an emergency surgery later and I'm needed."

Kal'tsit said as she placed a piece of information in front of Ark.

"Well... that's true. If you hadn't come, the other surgeons in Rhodes Island wouldn't have been able to guarantee that the surgery wouldn't go awry."

Fang Zhou was surprised by the patient's condition described in the information.

A brainstem tumor caused by mineralogy?

The brainstem, a region of the human body known as God's Forbidden Zone, even on the Terran continent, where medicine is exceptionally advanced due to the existence of mineralogy, brain surgery has only been around for a little over a hundred years. The first brain surgery on Terra was performed 140 years ago by a doctor named Filin. That doctor's name was...

Fang Zhou glanced at the old lynx woman in front of him.

Kelsey.

So in the Terran medical community, the weight of the name Kal'tsit is no joke.

Of course, no one would regard Kal'tsit of Rhodes Island as the same person as the Dr. Kal'tsit from 140 years ago. After all, even if it was Terran Superman, it would be impossible for an ordinary race like Filin to live to 140 years old and still look like a young man in his twenties.

At most, it can be regarded as a tribute to the parents or a coincidental name.

"But this operation will take two or three hours even if everything goes well... I know. This is for you."

The light brown chocolate was handed to Kelsey.

"You need to replenish some energy, otherwise you won't be able to endure the operation... Glucose tastes bad."

Kal'tsit accepted the chocolate expressionlessly and whispered thank you, which made Fang Ark wave his hand.

"Forget it, when will you and I need to thank each other? How long is it until the operation?"

Kal'tsit raised her wrist to check the time.

"The operating room is being prepared now. Once the patient is ready and in place, the surgery will begin."

"Then go quickly. By the way, are you going to bring Zora with you for this operation?"

Kal'tsit nodded slightly and thought for a moment.

"After all, brain surgery is a good learning opportunity for him, but this time he is just observing the position."

"That's understandable. After all, he has no experience in brain surgery. If he were to start right away, there's still a chance something might go wrong. However, once Zora is trained, the remaining Doctor-type Humagear can directly participate in medical operations using Zora's training models."

After talking briefly on this topic, Fang Ark left the medical department.

All the operators he met along the way would greet him. During the operation against the Flame Demon, the Ark's wide-ranging assistance capabilities and precise command capabilities linked to everyone's brain were publicized throughout Rhodes Island by the operators participating in the operation.

However, when this propaganda reached the ears of some operators, their expressions showed obvious negative changes, and these operators were all veteran cadres of Babel without exception.

Apparently, the rumors of the Ark's commanding abilities brought back memories of their fear of being dominated by the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel.

"Doctor?"

A crisp sound came from behind. Fang Zhou turned around and saw Amiya and Rosemary rushing over from behind.

"I saw you from quite a distance. Are you going to have dinner too?"

After Ark and Kal'tsit's psychological counseling, the sudden worsening of the Ore Disease and the direct explosion of the alien Fire Demon's transformed form in front of her did not leave any psychological trauma on Amiya. Of course, it was also because Amiya herself was a very strong child.

"Well, it's already this time. People always need to eat. No matter how busy you are at work, you can't forget to eat."

When saying this, Fang Zhou thought of an old woman who used surgery as an excuse to turn down dinner, and he couldn't help sighing.

"Huh? Oh, where's Dr. Kel'tsit? Weren't you and Doctor in a meeting just now?"

Amiya looked left and right but couldn't see the familiar figure of the doctor next to Fang Zhou.

"She has an urgent brainstem tumor removal surgery, and she's the only one who can perform it in Rhodes Island right now."

After hearing what Fang Ark said, Amiya felt a little sorry that she couldn't have dinner with Kal'tsit, but she couldn't say anything. Besides, it was also nice to have dinner with the Doctor.

After Fang Zhou finished speaking, his eyes couldn't help but pass Amiya and see Rosemary behind her.

The last time the two met was at a meeting right after he returned to Rhode Island, and they had basically not seen each other since then.

He remembered that Rosemary's memory wasn't very good, and he didn't know if she still remembered him.

As if noticing Fang Ark's gaze, Rosemary's green eyes saw Fang Ark's dark helmet. The electronic expression (￣︶￣) on it made Rosemary open her mouth slightly, with the corners of her mouth raised, as if she was amused by this seemingly silly smile.

"Hello, Doctor."

The gentle sound feels like weightless feathers or soft cotton, and the sleepy look of the newborn kitten, which seems to be never awake, further strengthens this feeling.

"Hello, Rosemary, I didn't expect you to remember me. It's so nice."

"Well, Amiya said that the Doctor is an important person, so I have to remember him. So I wrote the Doctor down in my notes."

Seeing the notebook neatly tucked away in the pocket of Rosemary's Rhodes Island uniform, Fang Ark nodded slightly and wanted to reach out and touch the cat's head, but he stopped himself, not knowing if it would be offensive since it was their first meeting.

"Let's go have dinner together. I was planning to go find Amiya and the others. After all, if Kal'tsit doesn't come, I'll have to eat alone like an old widower."

"Pfft-"

Fang Zhou's words made Amiya laugh, and her clear eyes curved into crescents.

"No, Doctor. If you show up in the cafeteria by yourself, Ace and Scout will probably come looking for you soon. And I heard that Miss W has been looking for you recently. It seems like something happened."

When she spoke of the latter part, Amiya's tone suddenly became a little low.

That fleeting flash of gloomy emotion made Fang Zhou's spine tingle for a moment.

Hmm~~, it must be an illusion.

Thinking this, Fang Zhou, Amiya, and Rosemary chatted and laughed all the way to the cafeteria window.

After taking a look at today's menu, Fang Zhou skillfully ordered a few items. He did not stop, but looked at the dishes on it. Then he ordered a few more and asked them to take them away.

"Hmm? Doctor, do you want to stay for a late-night snack? No need to worry. The cafeteria in Rhodes Island is open very late now. As long as it's not after midnight, there will be a chef here."

Amiya saw that Fang Zhou ordered an extra portion, and she pricked up her ears and leaned over to ask questions.

"Ah, no, this is for Kal'tsit. The surgery will take at least two or three hours, and at most five or six. By then, she'll probably be too hungry to eat, and that won't work.

Really, she's such a grown-up, and she still asks others to worry about her eating problem. Um, what are you laughing at?"

Fang Zhou took his plate and the takeaway box handed to him by the chef as he said this, but he saw Amiya looking at him from behind with a silly smile on her face.

"Uh-huh, no, nothing, just wanted to laugh."

Amiya saw Fang Ark looking at her in confusion while carrying Kal'tsit's packing box. She wanted to stop him, but she couldn't stop the smile on her face.

so good.

Chapter 70 I Just Want to Know What You Think

Sitting on the office chair, Fang Ark took off his helmet because he was alone and flipped through the PRTS terminal boredly.

For the Terra continent, where the atmosphere is perpetually filled with Originium dust, the development of electronic communications is extremely slow. Even electronic signals sent with all their might will be scattered by the Originium particles in the atmosphere, and the transmission distance will be extremely short.

This makes long-distance communication quite difficult for the Terra continent today.

Even for some big countries, the method of long-distance communication is nothing more than an electronic signal with unique characteristics looking for a communication interface that can match the characteristics. The communication interface then transmits the same electronic signal to find the next communication interface that can match the characteristics. This is like a relay race, one after another, until the signal interface matches the end point and stops transmitting, and the person using the interface can get the information.

So, if even long-distance communication is a difficult problem, then we can't expect this continent to have a lot of online entertainment. Well, at least the entertainment services that require an Internet connection are not abundant, such as short videos.

Generally, intercity networks may have some video website services, but for Rhodes Island, which has always been isolated, these are obviously not available.

Fortunately, Rhodes Island is now docked at Lungmen, so Ark can use PRTS to connect to Lungmen's intercity Internet and briefly experience the joy that the video website brings to him.

but……

"Well, this guy called Director Nian... well, this guy really doesn't want to hide at all."

Fang Zhou's forehead twitched as he looked at a user on the video website.

Seeing that even the profile picture used his own artistic photo, Fang Zhou had seen a little bit of the Sheniu Sui Beast.

But is Nian already in Longmen at this time? It's 1095, two years before the original plot begins, and it seems the Si Suitai is unaware of Nian's presence there. In the original novel, the Inspectorate doesn't come to Longmen to investigate a case specifically for Nian. So, could Da Yan simply allow a Sui agent to wander around Longmen without knowing about it?

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

I guess Nian has already entered Wei Yanwu's sight.
