Chapter 254 Unexpected Discovery
In response to their two people's excuses, Wang Wei did not reflect on himself, but chose to continue pointing out their problems.

"As the head of the Interstellar Federation, every decision I make must take into account the worst possible impact on the Interstellar Federation."

"If you think my decision is wrong, you can also set up an independent laboratory for them in your name. However, if any problems arise at that time, you will be responsible, not the entire Interstellar Federation, and we will definitely not have any relationship with the Interstellar Federation!"

Although Lao Wang and Lao Zheng hoped that Wang Wei would not look at Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang with strange eyes, they would not be able to bear the worst consequences if the responsibility really fell on them.

"We...we didn't mean that. We just hope that the atmosphere between everyone can be eased a little. We don't mean anything else. You don't have to be so excited."

Wang Wei smiled and shook his head, "You are the ones who are really excited. Except for the time when the King of the Three-Eyed Alien encountered danger during the experiment, I have never been excited for them since then."

"I just did what I was supposed to do, but you assumed that I was biased against them because of their behavior."

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng felt that they could not win the argument with Wang Wei, so they simply planned to run away.

"It's true that we were not thoughtful enough about this matter, but our starting point is good, so don't take it to heart!" After saying this, Lao Wang immediately looked at Lao Zheng, wanting Lao Zheng to say something as well.

After receiving Lao Wang's signal, Lao Zheng immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that we still have a very important research to carry out. We won't waste your time. If you have any questions, just come to us. Don't leave without saying a word like you did this time!"

As they talked, they walked out of Wang Wei's room.

Wang Wei did not keep them because he knew that these two people would definitely not dare to and did not want to stay.

As for the reason, he guessed it must be because of what he just said.

But he didn't care. As long as Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang didn't do anything out of line, he had no intention of targeting these two people.

But it must be said that these two people are really capable. After only moving there for a few days, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng have already started to change their views of them.

Wang Wei simply washed up and went into the laboratory to continue studying the ghost vine he brought back from the plant planet.

At the same time, Ouyang Zhifeng went to Lao Wang and Lao Zheng's laboratory under the pretext of borrowing experimental equipment.

This time, it was Wu Zhigang who asked him to come over.

The purpose is to find out indirectly what Lao Wang and Lao Zheng talked about.

In front of Lao Wang and Lao Zheng, Ouyang Zhifeng behaved very modestly and eager to learn, and did his best to flatter them, making Lao Wang and Lao Zheng very happy.

"Ouyang Zhifeng, you are a good boy. You must work hard in the future and strive to achieve achievements that surpass your teacher!" Old Wang said sincerely.

Ouyang Zhifeng immediately thanked Lao Wang: "Professor Wang, thank you very much, but I am still young, and it will be difficult for me to surpass you."

Old Zheng shook his head and said, "That's not the way to say it. Your teacher definitely wants to see you surpass him in strength and research results. Just follow your teacher and learn from him!"

Ouyang Zhifeng felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

If it were in the past, he would be able to be sure that the teacher would be just as Lao Zheng said, hoping that he would have the ability to surpass the teacher and achieve outstanding academic results.

But now, he had seen his teacher's madness, and he understood better than anyone that even if he really had abilities stronger than his teacher, the teacher would probably not allow him to achieve academic results that surpassed his teacher's.

Naturally, he didn't dare to show it in front of Lao Wang and Lao Zheng. Once the teachers knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, he deliberately changed the subject and looked at Lao Wang and Lao Zheng cautiously: "Two seniors, I want to know if Wang Wei has any prejudice against me and the teacher. I always feel that Wang Wei seems to dislike us very much."

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng looked at each other and both felt that they didn't know how to explain this matter to Ouyang Zhifeng.

According to their opinion, Wang Wei must still have some dissatisfaction with Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang, but as Wang Wei said, everything Wang Wei did was not specifically targeting Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang.

Therefore, they concealed Wang Wei's original words and wove a more beautiful lie: "What are you thinking about, kid? Wang Wei is definitely not that kind of person!"

"If he is really someone who would decide things based on his own subjective feelings, do you think he could become the number one person in charge of the Interstellar Alliance?"

Ouyang Zhifeng knew that what Lao Wang and Lao Zheng said was a lie, but he could only smile and agree: "You two are right, it seems that I am worrying too much, but don't tell the teacher that I asked about this matter, otherwise he will think that I have caused trouble for you two!"

Seeing Ouyang Zhifeng being so sensible, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng couldn't help but think of their students on Earth. They looked at Ouyang Zhifeng's back as he left and couldn't help but sigh.

"We should really let our students learn more from this kid. If all our students can be as sensible as Ouyang Zhifeng, we two old bones will be able to enjoy a peaceful and happy life!"

Ouyang Zhifeng had no idea that his deliberate pretending had made him a role model for students in the minds of Lao Wang and Lao Zheng. He was feeling very nervous at this moment.

Because the information he got from Lao Wang and Lao Zheng this time was obviously not what the teacher wanted, he was very worried that if the teacher knew about it, he would probably get angry.

But he had nowhere to hide. In this unfamiliar place, the only person he could rely on was his teacher. Did he have to explain the truth to Wang Wei?
Just like the teacher said, how could Wang Wei possibly believe him?
In a trance, he had walked into the laboratory.

Wu Zhigang looked at his absent-minded appearance, frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "I just asked you to go and get some information, why did you take so long?"

"What did Lao Wang and Lao Zheng say?"

Ouyang Zhifeng was startled by Wu Zhigang's voice and almost dropped the thing in his hand.

"Teacher, I asked them, and they all said that Wang Wei actually has no prejudice against us, and asked us not to think too much about it. Did we really misunderstand Wang Wei?"

After hearing Ouyang Zhifeng's words, Wu Zhigang sneered: "Impossible, if Wang Wei didn't doubt us, why did he reject our request to set up an independent laboratory?"

"For the Interstellar Federation, the drugs we developed have been of great help to them. We just want an independent laboratory. Isn't it obvious enough that he is deliberately making things difficult for us?"

After saying that, Wu Zhigang looked at Ouyang Zhifeng with a strange look in his eyes, slowly stood up and walked to Ouyang Zhifeng, taking the experimental equipment from his hand: "You didn't really believe what Lao Wang and Lao Zheng said, did you?"

"Don't forget what I told you. If Wang Wei knew what kind of research we were conducting, do you really think they would give us the chance to stay here?"

"It's even unknown whether we can survive!"

Ouyang Zhifeng was so frightened that he was shaking all over, and immediately forgot the idea of ​​explaining everything to Wang Wei.

Seeing Ouyang Zhifeng's frightened expression, Wu Zhigang knew that Ouyang Zhifeng would never be able to escape from his control. He nodded with satisfaction and looked at the vast starry sky outside the laboratory: "Just wait, one day, not to mention Wang Wei, even people from other planets will bow down to us!"

……

laboratory.

Wang Wei was studying the ghost vine when the Plant Alien King walked in.

Seeing the Plant Alien King Wang Wei stopped what he was doing and asked: "Why are you here?"

The Plant Alien King rarely set foot in places like the laboratory before, so Wang Wei felt a little curious about the appearance of the Plant Alien King.

"Let me see how far your research on the ghost vine has progressed and what have you gained so far?" The Plant Alien King took a look at the research Wang Wei was doing.

Wang Wei shook his head: "We haven't figured out why the ghost vine parasitizes other organisms yet." The Plant Alien King thought about it and talked about the ghost vine: "Have you ever thought that the habits of the ghost vine are actually related to the location where the ghost vine grows?"

"Where did it grow?"

Wang Wei didn't know much about the ghost vine, so he found it a bit difficult to study the logic behind the ghost vine parasitizing other organisms. However, the words of the Plant Alien King gave him a new idea.

"You mean, the reason why the ghost vine becomes parasitic is because its own conditions make it unable to survive, so it can only rely on other organisms?"

The Plant Alien King nodded. "That's probably what I mean. As you can see, our planet is very lush with vegetation. Some plants living in the lower layers have already evolved the ability to sustain life without relying on light for photosynthesis."

"The ghost vine itself is a vine, and it lives in places like the canyon where it is even harder to see light. So I think it can only obtain the nutrients necessary for survival by parasitizing other creatures!"

Wang Wei looked at the Plant Alien King and felt that what he said did make sense.

On Earth, there are many insects with similar habits.

Because they need to consume a lot of nutrients in the process of growing, but the nutrients they carry are not enough for them to complete the transformation into adults.

Therefore, some insects will use longer periods of hibernation to absorb nutrients in other ways, while some insects will parasitize their eggs in the bodies of other organisms to obtain nutrients in this way.

The parasitic organisms will most likely die completely when the eggs are hatched.

After the death of the parasite, it will become a larger source of nutrients and become the main component of the nutrient source of the parasite.

Could it be that the tapeworms parasitize various organisms because they need to consume a huge amount of nutrients in the process of evolving from larvae or eggs to adults?

The reason why tapeworms do not parasitize in plants may be that the nutrients provided by plants are not enough to meet their consumption.

"I'm going to get two striped worms to see if what you said can match the survival habits of the striped worms!"

Looking at Wang Wei's hurriedly leaving back, the Plant Alien King felt helpless. He had just made a bold guess. How could Wang Wei say that wind would lead to rain?
Wang Wei didn't want to stop for a moment. If they could study the habits and characteristics of the tapeworm as soon as possible, then they would be able to find a way to solve the problem of the tapeworm parasitizing in organisms based on these habits and characteristics.

However, when Wang Wei came to Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang's laboratory and was about to take away the two tapeworms, he unexpectedly heard something he shouldn't have heard.

In the laboratory, there were bursts of screams. The voices were obviously not from human beings, but they made people feel creepy just by listening to them.

Wang Wei knocked on the door and shouted, "What are you doing and why are you screaming so loudly?"

Wang Wei's voice made Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang in the laboratory stop what they were doing immediately. The teacher and student looked at each other and immediately began to clean up the mess in the laboratory.

Wang Wei knocked on the door for a long time and called out many times, becoming a little impatient, but the door of the laboratory was opened at this moment.

Ouyang Zhifeng walked out of the laboratory and immediately invited Wang Wei in.

In the laboratory, Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang's experimental subjects have changed from humans to animals, which are rabbits with snow-white fur and bright red eyes.

It seems that there is nothing unusual about these rabbits.

But it was precisely because of this reason that the scream just now seemed even more bizarre.

If these little rabbits are okay, then that means the screams he just heard had nothing to do with these rabbits.

If these rabbits have nothing to do with Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang's experiment, why can't he see any other creatures in this laboratory?
"What are you doing in the lab? Why are there reports of tragic animal deaths?"

Wu Zhigang was calm when facing Wang Wei. He pointed at the little white rabbit beside him and said, "We were trying to give medicine to the rabbits that were parasitized by the tapeworms just now, but the effect was not ideal and the tapeworms woke up earlier."

Wang Wei glanced in the direction of Wu Zhigang's finger, and indeed saw some small animals that had lost any signs of life.

If we look at it from this perspective, then there doesn't seem to be any problem with Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang's experiment. After all, they no longer set humans as the experimental subjects.

It doesn't count as a violation of his principles and bottom line.

"You suddenly came here this time, is there something going on?"

Wang Wei looked around the laboratory and finally fixed his eyes on Wu Zhigang's face: "If there is no problem with your experiment, why didn't you open the door immediately and why did you wait so long?"

Ouyang Zhifeng's expression changed immediately. Wang Wei glanced over Ouyang Zhifeng's face and vaguely sensed something, but did not say it clearly in front of Wu Zhigang.

Wu Zhigang smiled at Wang Wei calmly and said, "I'm so sorry. I was so immersed in the experiment that I didn't hear your voice."

"If you think there is anything shameful about our experiment, you can come and check it out. If you can find it out, we will immediately stop the current experiment, leave the Interstellar Federation base, and return to Earth."

Wu Zhigang acted neither humble nor arrogant in front of Wang Wei. Wang Wei understood that they must have destroyed all the clues or hidden them well, and they were not afraid of him finding them, so they said that.

"Since you didn't hear it just now, forget it."

"By the way, I came here this time because I hope you can lend me two striped worms. I can use them."

Wu Zhigang was shocked. Although they all knew that Wang Wei brought back a plant from the plant planet, the fact that Wang Wei now needed to borrow the meat worms for research showed that Wang Wei did not believe them at all and had decided to start his own research on how to separate the meat worms from the bodies of the parasites.

Wu Zhigang certainly did not intend to give the meat-tape worm to Wang Wei, although he believed that Wang Wei certainly did not have as much experience as they did in studying meat-tape worms, and even if he gave it to Wang Wei, it might not be of any use.

But he had to make his attitude clear now. He couldn't let Wang Wei convey his distrust of them to others, and he couldn't let Wang Wei really come up with anything.

"I'm so sorry, but the meatworms we got recently have already been used on experimental subjects. I may not be able to provide you with meatworms for the time being."

Wang Wei was not in a hurry. He set his eyes on the trash can beside him.

Looking at the rabbit that had lost its life signs, he raised his head and said to Wu Zhigang, "If I remember correctly, even if the host loses its life signs, the meatworm will not die in a short time."

"Unless they simply can't find a new host next time, right?"

Wu Zhigang nodded reluctantly, but in his heart he regretted not directly disposing of the rabbits that died during the experiment.

"You're right."

"However, if you come into contact with these rabbits that have lost their vital signs, you are likely to be infected by the tapeworms, so I suggest that you don't try to touch these rabbits. We will destroy these rabbits as soon as possible to prevent the tapeworms from parasitizing other creatures."

Wang Wei smiled and pointed at Ouyang Zhifeng who was standing beside him and said, "Please take care of these rabbits and take them to my laboratory."

He didn't even give Wu Zhigang a chance to refuse, and turned around and walked out of Wu Zhigang's laboratory.

Wu Zhigang and Ouyang Zhifeng looked at each other, and Ouyang Zhifeng immediately understood what the teacher meant.

Although they shouldn't have handed over the experimental subjects infected with meat tapeworms to Wang Wei, Wang Wei had already come to them, and they had no reason to refuse.

After simply dealing with the problematic rabbit carcasses, Ouyang Zhifeng went to Wang Wei's laboratory carrying a basket of dead rabbits!
