Chapter 3 Stupid Dad
"Are you really going to hold it all the time?"
"But, even if it was indeed you who lost it, it's already an ice egg, right?"
"Although you certainly don't want to hear us say that, but I'm telling the truth-give up, it's impossible."
"That's right, you will be even more sad then..."
A group of penguins talked loudly to persuade.Fa Le, who was surrounded in the middle, was dizzy from the chanting, and shouted: "I won't give up!"
All the penguins fell silent.Fale has been known for his stubborn temper since he was a child, and even his parents can't stop him from doing what he wants to do.Seeing him pushing out impatiently at this time, they could only wink at each other.And after he moved his feet carefully and walked away, the penguins gathered together again and whispered.
"What now? I think that thing is either a rock or a dead egg."
Another penguin agreed. "I think it's more likely to be a stone. First, it won't break if it's broken; second, if it's an egg, Claudio will never let it go."
"That's right, spring doesn't matter. There is nothing to eat in winter, and he won't be picky about food." The third penguin—that is, Lester—concluded. "But to be honest, apart from not being able to hatch, I personally don't think there is any harm."
"Falle said just now that he warmed that thing up." The first penguin said again, "But no matter how hot the rock is, it's impossible for a little penguin to pop out! He's not going to use that to fool Fatina, is he? ?”
"Fatina is not that stupid." Lester quickly objected. "And by the time she comes back, the children should have been out of their shells."
"So you mean, he can only use this for psychological comfort?" The second penguin was a little older and a little sentimental, "I can only hope that it will be useful... Poor Farre!" So he said When it was time, he clamped his legs tightly, as if he was afraid that his eggs would suddenly roll out.
Lester nodded in agreement. "Fala is still so young, it's normal that he can't accept it." He said, "But after a few days, the normal egg should start to move. At that time, if we try to persuade him, it will definitely be more effective."
The penguins around him nodded and said solemnly: "Penguins also have to accept reality!"
Let's talk about Fale again.He had stepped back under the ice wall where he had always been, tightening his flippers and trying to curl himself into a ball.Even if he couldn't hear what the other penguins were saying, he could guess what they were saying; because even he thought he was being stupid.
It's not like he hasn't seen skuas eating penguin eggs before, but this time he had the biggest reaction.He couldn't bear the other party doing this in front of his eyes—it was he who accidentally lost his unhatched child, and it was his negligence that allowed the skua to take advantage of it.So, rather than saying that he rushed out to snatch the egg back from under the Jaeger's claws, it was more like redemption for his own mistakes.
Farr rubbed his paws slightly, feeling the round, warm eggshell against his belly.Even if he really knew that this round object would not hatch little penguins, he was still captured by this strange feeling.Can stones really be heated?Can there really be such a temperature of life?He slightly retracted his abdomen, lowered his head to look, couldn't help poking the egg inside with the tip of his beak, and then relaxed again, allowing the folds and feathers of the abdomen to cover the egg.It's impossible to say, but what if...
At this time, our video camera AZ8765 is surrounded by a circle of soft and fluffy white fluff.As long as he has enough energy, he doesn't need to rest, so he has been collecting information around him; from air composition to weather conditions, and of course analyzing the brain waves of the penguins.In his opinion, it is normal for other penguins to think, but his new father really thinks too much.Of course, the stone does not have a temperature. It has a temperature because it is adjusted in real time according to the average temperature of other penguin eggs around it. Even if it is an egg, he is very dedicated. Accidentally say a word is definitely black history, Never do it again!
However, AZ8765 is still very objective.Although Fale took a great chance and seemed to have a pretty powerful wife, but in any case, it was Fale who put him in his belly.That is to say, as long as Fale doesn't give up on him halfway, he will have a reasonable birth certificate-equivalent to a passport to travel this planet openly.While the rest of the penguins will think it's a miracle, there's no better way to do it when the default is an ice egg, right?
In view of this, the record of this cheap daddy in the AZ8765 archives is:
"Fare Impel
Identity: Antarctic emperor penguin;
Residence: Imperial Plains (winter);
Spouse: Fatina Impel;
Appearance: black back, black eyes, pink beak, yellow neck, white belly, short tail and yellow claws, [-] meters tall;
Personality: impulsive, stubborn, soft-hearted;
Hobbies: hatching eggs (?).
Note: If there is no accident, it is the surrogate father. "
Faller's file was the last to be confirmed.AZ8765 has already collected all the information that should be collected during the few days when he was walking with him.The female penguins haven't come back yet, so most of them only have one name.
According to the pre-set plan, AZ8765 should grow up with this group of little penguins, and when he can go to the sea, he can travel alone and visit every corner of the planet.Maybe there will be a period of hanging out with other emperor penguins on some beaches before that, but that is not the point.
The most critical points include that Antarctic emperor penguins are all in the same group (obviously, because of the bad weather, they need to survive the severe winter), so they are all named after the breeding place; the leader is Fidi, and there are two elders below them. One is called Lester and the other is called Fiana (female penguin, haven't seen it yet); emperor penguins are generally gentle, at least for now a lot of expectant fathers are showing restraint (it is said to be for prenatal education).
In addition, there are three major families of skuas, and Skull is one of them.The skua is one of the natural enemies of the emperor penguin, and more natural enemies are on the seashore or under the sea, such as orcas, sharks and seals.If it wasn't for Claudio's unexpected stay that made the emperor penguins talk more about things, it may take some time to collect these news.
AZ8765 is quite satisfied with this progress.There is no shortage of time in the plan, and he can take his time.The first goal is to collect data on the twelve fixed latitude and longitude locations in the scout scan, and the first location is progressing well.The second goal is still blank, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it must be a random trigger task, and he can solve it at that time.
……
The weather in the polar regions is really not good, especially in winter.In the next two weeks, the Impel Plain experienced three more major snowstorms; one of them buried the entire penguin colony under half a meter of snow.Fortunately, Fiddy is experienced, so that all penguins keep the same frequency to break off the ice on the top, or peck or top.
In fact, this has no effect on AZ8765 at all. He analyzed the influence of polar air pressure on wind and snow, as well as the magnetic field lines displayed by the aurora, and even added a stable and reliable line to Fiddy's file.But after the wind and snow had passed, he found that Fale quickly lowered his head to take care of him without even shaking off the ice, looking nervous, and kept saying "it's okay".
AZ8765 suddenly had a strange feeling.What a stupid dad!What if he is really a rock?He couldn't help but slander, and at the same time felt that the other party's happy mood was an eyesore.But after he thought about it, he turned around and adjusted the temperature control up a bit.
Due to this accident, the scheduled inspection was also postponed. AZ8765 was terrified when he first heard the news, thinking that the data exceeded the database information, and the profession of doctor was actually differentiated from the emperor penguin colony!Then he quickly realized that the doctor he thought was an older emperor penguin who was no longer breeding, in charge of giving young expectant fathers some precautions during the hatching period.Because of the weather and natural enemies, the survival rate of emperor penguin eggs is not high; although emperor penguins have no ambition to dominate the planet, the basic reproduction level must be maintained.
The so-called inspection and pointing is to let all the fathers-to-be stand in a row, and let Ode—the name of the older penguin—see the color of the eggshell. If possible, listen to the movement inside to judge the growth of the little penguin.
Fale stood in the line that was slowly moving forward. He didn't see anything on the surface, but he was very worried in his heart.He hypnotized himself, the ice egg is alive; it is indeed warm, but the probability of hatching a little penguin is too low - I don't know how long it was frozen in the open air, and I don't know how long it was thrown by Claudio several times.If this hatched, it would be enough to talk about for years with all the Impel penguins!
Farrer was so distraught that he didn't notice what the other penguins were saying around him.When it was his turn, he felt his paws trembling slightly—not from cold, but from fear.
Oded glanced at him unemotionally.It is well known that Farrer chased skuas for ice eggs, and later Farrer covered the other penguins from seeing the egg. He was also curious, but he didn't show it at all. "Put your chest out," he said, maintaining the same tone as before, "I only see your hair."
Farrer became more nervous.He tried to hold his breath, not knowing what answer he wanted to hear.If Ode said it was a stone, would he continue to cover it?Then he dismissed the idea, in case...
Ode didn't know what Farrer was thinking.He looked at it carefully and was surprised.Could it be that there were some light blue and light red lines on the stone?He bent down and moved closer.The egg was shaking slightly and making a low gurgling sound, as if something had passed through the sticky liquid.
this……!Ode was shocked.He listened to it three times, until Faller's paws were on tiptoe. "you……"
"It's normal if it doesn't move, because it hasn't lived enough!" Fa Le almost couldn't wait to interrupt him.He really didn't want to hear the other penguins say he was wasting his time.
"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you interrupting!" Ode glared at him angrily, "Did I say it didn't move?"
"...Huh?" Fale didn't recover for a while, and was stunned.
"...What?!" The penguins in front and back were in an uproar.Is this true, and is it that the ice eggs of their beloved Odd Fala are about to hatch?
But in just a few minutes, the news spread throughout the penguin colony.No penguin dared to question Ode's vision, so the reactions were different.The penguin fathers with eggs between their feet all expressed disbelief, but those who didn’t were envious and envious—this kind of old tree blooming was actually met by that idiot Fale?How could they not be so lucky?
As a result, a group of penguins took a swaying duck step and expressed to Fa Le that they wanted to see his magical egg.But Fale smiled stupidly, he was still vigilant - the nature of parenting would make penguins without offspring snatch other eggs - he held his belly firmly.So this matter was spread even more miraculously, but within a long time, at least five versions of guesses came out, about the egg that Fa Le picked up.
On the other end, Fiddy was asking Ode in a low voice. "You said it even looked better than the average egg?" he repeated in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
"I don't think it's possible, but that's what I see." Ode also couldn't understand.
"Or are they the eggs of other animals?" Lester next to him put forward a hypothesis, but they all knew that the probability was not high - in Antarctica, they were the only animals that bred in winter.And they have never heard of any animal whose eggs can survive such a severe winter.
The three penguins were silent for a while. "Spring is only a month away," Fiddy said at last. "We'll just have to see what the Fale can hatch by then."
"That's the only way to go." Ode agreed helplessly.Why does he always have a bad premonition of smashing his own sign...
As for Farrat, he couldn't think of anything else at the moment other than "I'm going to hatch a baby in no time."It's fine now, even if the egg is not his, it doesn't matter, as long as the child sees him when it comes out of the shell, it will be his child.Fatina will probably be unhappy, but it should be much better than nothing, right?
Ah, so he hasn't thought of a name for the baby yet, only a month left!What should I call it?Philip?Seems very common ah?Phineas?It collided with the name of the leader, although being the leader is also good.Feizi?But emperor penguins don't have blonde hair.Or, according to the oriental tradition he heard from the dolphin last time, Falin, Fahe, or Fahai?
Ahhh, so excited!It's better to remember all these names and choose one when Fatina comes back!
Farrer was so excited that he didn't know what the egg in his belly felt like.
Forget about the previous ones, the last one...Fahai?Why does it sound like something is wrong?
AZ8765 entered the name, then looked it up in the database, and finally became deeply depressed.How should he explain to his cheap father that this is the name of a monk who snatched a man from the snake demon?
The author has something to say: Keke, because of the long history, some stories about the earth have changed in the future, it is not a problem with the database [really?
