"Jiang Ping, so many people are working. What are you doing? I think you need to give me a reasonable explanation!"

Jiang Pingzheng lowered his head and observed the soil on the ground. At this time, he heard someone in his ears questioning loudly at him. When he looked back, he saw Daniel standing next to him with a gloomy face, with a very unkind look.

He took the opportunity to grab a handful of soil on the ground, stood up, handed it to the other side, and said, "Sergeant Daniel, you might as well look at this soil."

Daniel didn't even look at it, and knocked the dirt on the other party's hand away with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't play tricks with me. I don't have time to talk to you too much. Go to the Discipline Inspection Office to accept punishment by myself. Be lazy at work. I'll see it with my own eyes. Don't try to argue again!"

Jiang Ping smiled coldly and said, "Sergeant Daniel, I know I said in public that you are not worthy of being this captain. You have always had an objection to me, so I have to pick my fault in no way, but I will not admit the accusations you said against me."

Daniel jumped up and shouted, "What, I'm not telling you, I'm going to pick your fault? It's just nonsense! Okay, then explain to me, everyone is working, what are you doing here just now? You won't say you're working, right? I clearly see you're playing with mud!"

Jiang Ping said speechlessly: "Playing with mud? You can think of it. I'm thinking about it. There is something wrong with the soil!"

"Questions, you are quibbling! What's wrong with this country? Why can't I see? Do you think you want to deceive me and get away with it? This is so childish and ridiculous." Daniel said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ping pointed to the ground around him and said solemnly: "Sergeant Daniel, I don't mean to joke with you. Please take a closer look at the soil on the ground. Don't you think the color of the soil here is wrong?"

Daniel subconsciously looked down at the soil under his feet. The soil on the ground looked no different from ordinary silicate soil, but there was a gray light blue on the surface, like a ghost in the dark night, emitting a faint light.

The soil is indeed a bit strange, it turns out to be light blue. At first he thought it was just some bryophytes and other things growing on it, but now when he looks closely, it seems that this is not the case.

Recalling the light blue solution in the test tube I saw just now in Catherine's chemical analysis room, he knew that the other party might not be talking nonsense. There might be something strange about this soil, otherwise Catherine solemnly tested the soil for what?

Despite this, he refused to admit defeat and insisted on saying, "So what? The soil is a little color, what's so strange about it? This is Wang Hengxing, not the moon, which is not a big problem at all. I think you are just using this as a guise of being lazy!"

Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "Sergeant Daniel, please stop making trouble. I am serious. When we come to Wang Hengxing for an adventure, we cannot let go of any suspicious situation. I suggest that the chemistry laboratory immediately conduct a detailed chemical analysis of the soil here and analyze their specific chemical composition. I think this is very necessary."

"To be honest, I just went out for a long time and found that not only this piece of soil is like this, but other places around me have been. I suspect this is not a separate phenomenon. If the soil here all looks like this, then this light blue soil is worth studying."

After hearing this, Daniel seemed to have caught another handle from the other party, and shouted: "What, no wonder I just walked around and couldn't find you. It turned out that you actually went out. Without my order, you dared to go out to the base privately. You are unorganized and undisciplined. I want to punish you!"

Jiang Ping sneered and said, "Sergeant Daniel, I want to tell you that I am an adventure volunteer, not a soldier under your command. You must be clear about this. I have the right to carry out my adventure. This is my right, and you have no right to interfere!"

Daniel was furious and furious. The other party repeatedly challenged him as the captain's authority, which made him unable to bear it.

"What happened?" At this time, a voice sounded, and a figure walked towards this side. It was the team's deputy captain, Sergeant Robinson.

Without waiting for Daniel to speak, Jiang Ping briefly said what happened just now and finally said: "Sergeant Robinson, this is the matter. I suggest that we should pay enough attention to it and organize people to conduct careful testing and analysis of this light blue soil to see if these soils are dangerous to humans."

Daniel sneered from the side: "It's just unreasonable. You are looking for excuses for your own laziness. You are also going out of the base without authorization. I want to ask the Discipline Inspection Office to give you a punishment immediately."

Robinson pondered for a moment and said, "Daniel, Corporal Jiang Ping's suspicion about this soil is legitimate, and we have no right to interfere, although we do not know whether this suspicion is correct. However, Jiang Ping, you did not get permission to go out of the base without authorization, and it is indeed a violation of discipline. This is not allowed."

Jiang Ping snorted coldly and was about to speak when he heard a crisp sound coming over and said, "The test results are out. The light blue component in the soil is a microorganism."

The three of them turned their heads and saw a hot blonde beauty walking towards the three of them, Katherine, the chief chemical analyst in the team.

Daniel laughed and said, "So that's it. I've known it's like this for a long time. It's just a microorganism. Sergeant Katherine, you don't know that in the mouth of this kid just now, people think this is a virus that can exterminate humans."

Robinson asked cautiously: "Sergeant Katherine, do you confirm that the light blue ingredients in the soil are just a microorganism? Are they aggressive or contagious? Are you sure it's not a virus?"

Catherine gave the other party a blank look, as if she was dissatisfied with the other party’s suspicion of her, and said softly: “Would I not know whether it is a microorganism or a virus? The chemical analysis results just now showed that this microorganism is very simple, the DNA chain is very gentle, and there is no such characteristic as the virus that replicates and spreads itself. Preliminary results show that this microorganism is harmless to humans…”

"Sergeant Katherine, please don't make your conclusion so early." Jiang Ping interrupted her. He paused and continued, "I just walked around for a long time. The soil I saw was light blue. I also scanned it with a spectral fluoroscopy. At least within a radius of dozens of miles, this light blue can be seen. From this, it can be seen that this microorganism is not simple, at least its life and fertility is very strong. So Sergeant Katherine, you'd better analyze it carefully and don't draw conclusions so early."

Catherine glanced at the other party and said disapprovingly: "Corporal Jiang Ping, your skepticism is valuable, but in the face of accurate scientific analysis data, any doubt is ridiculous. Now the evidence is conclusive. This is just a very simple, gentle microorganism, not a terrible flood or beast you imagine."

Ignoring the ridicule of the other party, Jiang Ping asked: "So I ask Sergeant Katherine, have you already understood the biological characteristics of this microorganism, how it reproduces, how long its life cycle is, whether there is material exchange behavior with its similar species, what reactions will they have to various external stimuli, and will they mutate in a long and unusual environment? What you are testing is the soil in this place, and will the soil in other places be different? Do you know all these clearly?"

Jiang Ping's series of questions made Catherine's face flush and she was speechless for a moment because she could not give a positive answer because of the other party's questions.

After a long time, she replied, looked at the other party deeply, and said, "Okay, Corporal Jiang Ping, I accept your opinions, and I will study them carefully."

In fact, if it were the microorganisms on the earth, the experiment she had just done could have completely confirmed results. But she suddenly realized that this was not the earth, but an alien that was 30,000 light-years away from the solar system. Everything here was unknown, and no caution could be considered excessive. The conclusion she had just reached was indeed too early.

Seeing that the other party accepted his opinion and achieved his goal, Jiang Ping stopped saying anything. Daniel wanted to take this opportunity to punish the other party, but now it seems that he can only let him go.

Catherine smiled and said, "Jiang Ping, can I ask you to do a favor? You just asked if the soils in other places will be different? This is indeed something that should be considered. So I would like to ask you to help me collect different soils around so as to conduct a comprehensive chemical analysis of this microorganism."

As an archaeology major, Jiang Ping does not have any full-time jobs in the base at this moment, and the request made by the other party is within his ability, so he did not think much and nodded quickly and said, "Of course, I'm glad to help you, I can go now. In order to go further, if allowed, I hope the base can assign me an armored vehicle."

After saying that, his eyes turned to Daniel and Robinson on the side. The allocation of materials at the base, including the allocation of armored vehicles, required the consent of the two captains and deputy captains.

Before Daniel could speak, Robinson immediately shook his head and rejected it, saying, "No, without the permission of the base, no one in the base can go out without authorization!"

Catherine, who was standing by, was unhappy and opposed: "Why, Robinson, you don't have such rights. We are adventure volunteers, we have the right to adventure!"

Robinson still had a serious face and said in a deep voice: "I have a reason to do this. Smith just reported to me that they were attacked by some alien plants on the way back! These alien plants were very aggressive. In the end, they forced the alien plants to retreat and return to the base by relying on the muskets."

Alien plant attack!

The three of them were all surprised when they heard this. Obviously, they did not expect that Smith and his group who had just returned to the base would have such a thrilling experience.

Daniel was shocked and even more angry. He saw Smith and the others in front of the base gate and scolded the other party, but the other party kept silent about the attack on alien plants and did not reveal any news to him. But now he ran to Robinson to tell him what this means, which means that he did not take him as the captain seriously at all!

"Smith, bastard! I didn't tell me about such an important thing, I'm going to peel him off!" Daniel cursed uncontrollably.
Chapter completed!
