Chapter 12 first quarter

That creature was discovered on a small island in the South Pacific by an American biologist.He had been investigating the effects of nuclear tests in this area a few years ago. When he saw the astonishing creature, he could not help thinking of the role of nuclear radiation, and so did other biologists.The U.S. government immediately classified this major discovery as a top-secret matter, requiring the research team to find out the true face of this incredible creature as soon as possible. Judging from the conclusion of the investigation, after many inspections and experiments, no connection between the creature and the nuclear test was found, and no harmful factors to humans were found.The U.S. government gradually chooses the right time to allow scholars to disclose the facts of the discovery of new organisms to the world.

While this heavy news was being spread all over the world through the media, the name of the new creature had already been chosen, and the person in charge of the name was the leader of the research team.There was little disagreement among the panelists about the name he chose because it couldn't have been more apt. The name of this new creature is - Angel (angel). Angel first appeared in public, more than a year after being discovered.Naturally, it was only on the TV screen.When they saw this incredible creature, people were all stunned and couldn't believe their eyes, and then they became suspicious of the media, thinking that if it wasn't someone playing a prank, even the TV station was colluding with the person involved to make a joke.In the past, British newspapers published reports claiming to have captured the Loch Ness Monster.However, the day when the report found Angel was not April Fool's Day, and it took a day or two for the news to spread. Moreover, the person in charge of the reporting media did not issue a correction statement with a face of embarrassment.In fact, the news anchor of the TV station also kindly anticipated the doubts of the audience, and while broadcasting Angel's video, he made the following explanation:

"Dear viewers, the above news is not a joke. This creature does live in an area we don't understand. Its discovery is a miracle." Since the anchor is so convincing, the audience can only believe that the creatures on the screen do exist, and turn to marvel. Angel's whole body is white, and the surface is as smooth and soft as jelly. The big ones can be fifty centimeters long, but most of them are more than ten centimeters long.There are four limbs, but usually only use the hind limbs to move, and the forelimbs are more accurately described as "wrists".no tail.

From the appearance point of view, there is no doubt that Angel belongs to a vertebrate, but there are different opinions among scholars as to which type of vertebrate it belongs to. "Angel's reproduction method is oviparous. The shape of the fertilized eggs resembles frog eggs. I worry about the size of a ping pong ball. The inner core is not black but pure white. From the above characteristics, it is very similar to amphibians, but the larvae are different from tadpoles. It is born with the same form as an adult, and more importantly, it grows in the sea, which is enough to show that it is not an amphibian, because amphibians cannot survive in sea water. But if it belongs to reptiles or mammals, it is also very Far-fetched, in short, the only thing that can be asserted at present is that it is an unprecedented creature no matter in terms of body structure or organs."

The above is the opinion of a scholar who served as a guest on a news program. "Some people have an opinion that it may be a deformed creature produced by nuclear radiation pollution and genetic mutation." The view mentioned by the host is very popular. In this regard, scholars speak cautiously. "So far we have not found any link between it and nuclear radiation, nor did it emit any radiation from it." The host continued to ask questions, this time it was a question that ordinary audiences love to hear. "In your opinion, is it possible that it is a creature from the universe?"

Hearing this question, the scholar still acted very rationally. He neither laughed dumbly nor broke out on the spot, but answered in a calm tone; "I think this possibility is equally remote. For the substances that make up Angel's body, we have divided them into molecules for examination, but no substances outside the earth have been found." "In that case," the host put on a serious expression, and asked straightforwardly, "Where is it sacred?" "Now the academic community is analyzing its genetic factors, and the more authoritative view is that it evolved from some kind of deep-sea fish."

"Deep sea fish?" "That's right. But why it evolved into this form is still a mystery." The scholar said while turning his gaze to the figure of Angel on the screen. Angel has facial features, but according to scholars, they are not facial features, but protrusions on the head.In fact, it has no eyes and a nose, only a mouth, but the top of the mouth is uneven, the concave part is like an eye, and the protrusion is like a nose, and there is hair on the top of the head.The face composed of all these is no different from the legendary angel, and its snow-white and soft body is also very similar to a human baby.It also has a notable feature, perhaps reminiscent of the age of deep-sea fish: its tiny fins.A pair of fins are juxtaposed on the back, like angel wings.

Angel's first successful performance in Japan was operated by a department store in Osaka.It has been exhibited publicly in New York and London before, and Osaka ranks third in the world.At that time, only the United States successfully captured Angel, and all Angels were concentrated in specialized research institutes for strict management.If you want to hold an exhibition, you have to rent it from them. Not only do you have to pay a staggeringly expensive contract fee, but the procedures are also dauntingly complicated.The reason why the department store in Osaka was successfully settled was nothing more than spending more money than the contract money to get through the joints.In fact, the loaned Angel was originally reserved for an exhibition in Paris, but was forcibly snatched by a businessman in Osaka.

But with Angel's value, it may be worth offending the French government.In order to see this incredible creature, people flocked to this department store, which has been overcrowded for days. "Please don't stop, please don't stop, friends who come to visit, please follow the team and go in. Okay, please keep the formation and enter the venue in two rows." The staff kept yelling with loudspeakers, and there was also strict monitoring by the guards to prevent anyone from sneaking in with a camera to take pictures. Once found, the camera was immediately seized and the film was confiscated.

Those who were snatched from the bag on the spot inevitably grumbled and complained, but when they came to the aquarium where Angel was exhibited, their complaints disappeared immediately. Angel has such a seductive charm. There are two Angels in the aquarium, one is about 30 centimeters long, and the other is half the size.The box is filled with sea water, and the smaller one stays in the water most of the time. When swimming, the wings-like fins on its back flutter lightly, as gracefully as an angel in flight.The bigger one often climbs up the rock model, clasps the box wall with both hands, and looks at the audience with a strange expression.They have no eyes and should just be unconscious movements.

After seeing Angel, the young women are the most maddened. When they face the aquarium, they only repeat two sentences: one is "so cute" and the other is "I want it too" . After a while, Angel was exhibited all over the country.This is mainly because catching has become easier to figure out. Although its living habits are still a mystery, the general artificial breeding technology has been mastered. "The Angel of the street talk is here!" Amusement parks and zoos across the country put up such posters to attract tourists.Generally speaking, in this way, people's enthusiasm for Angel will no longer be the same as before, and its power to attract tourists will gradually weaken. However, Angel did not repeat the mistakes of the Australian frilled lizards, because of their unique appearance.No matter how scientific it is explained, people generally feel that their facial features look like human faces, and they resemble human babies.No, to be precise, it was a face that resembled an angel.And their limbs are exactly the same as the angels that often appear in picture books.Because it is so similar, some people feel uncomfortable, but most find it really flattering. In short, this kind of creature has such strange characteristics, it is naturally impossible to set off a wave of enthusiasm and be quickly forgotten.From exhibits that everyone can visit, they quickly upgrade to pets that only a few people can have-they start to become pets.The first to keep Angel as a pet was a Hollywood actress, and she was also the lover of a US senator. At first, Angel was quite precious, and only stars in the showbiz could afford to raise it, but it gradually became popular in ordinary families, because with the realization of artificial breeding, it is no longer as difficult to obtain as it used to be. The reason why Angel is so popular, after all, naturally stems from its cute appearance at the beginning.But it didn't take long for people to discover that this kind of pet was not only pleasing to the eye, but also had a great benefit, that is, Angel's eating habits, which scholars have long known. Angel's food is completely different from previous plants and animals. They feed on something that humans have always struggled with: plastic. For some reason, the white angel ate plastic and resin, and Styrofoam and plastic wrap. The following is an excerpt from the summer vacation diary of a boy in the fourth grade of elementary school in Komae City. "Tabati" in the article is the name of his raised Angel. sunny on august 2 The food I bought at the pet store was gone, and I wanted to do an experiment, so I put my old square ruler in the sink to see if Tabati would eat it.It didn't move at first, but quickly picked up the triangular ruler with both hands, and then secreted a sticky oily liquid. Once the triangular ruler touched this liquid, it immediately became soft, and Tabati wanted to eat pancakes. Swish it all in one gulp.Then I went to the kitchen, picked out a cup noodle box from the trash can, and threw it into the sink.Tabati picked it up, and this time it didn't secrete any sticky oil, but gnawed it open like eating a cracker.I also threw the plastic bag in, and it was eaten up in a blink of an eye. As indicated by the underlying message of this diary entry, it was found that this new pet could be used to dispose of non-burnable waste.The ever-increasing garbage is a headache not only for Japan, but also for all countries in the world, and Angel can be said to be the savior to solve this problem.In fact, research is under way everywhere to use Angel to deal with garbage. In this way, Angel quickly integrated into human life, and was no longer a rare animal. By this time, the following people will inevitably appear.
