Chapter 123, captive, observing
"Look, Caesar actually uses a bottle by himself!"
Grandma shouted in surprise.
Time, mid-July, the location, is back to Culver City, Los Angeles.
"Although orangutans have always been very smart, it is indeed very rare to be as smart as Caesar."
In the living room, James accompanied his mother and watched the adopted little gorilla drinking milk.
It is not a trivial matter to raise an orangutan at home. At the first time, the parents of grandfathers who lived in central America came here. So, from the first sight of Caesar, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about Caesar and she was posing as a grandson.
Caesar is only one year old, and as a chimpanzee, his body shape is about the same as a two-year-old baby. Just as breakfast, I saw the little guy actually drinking like a real little guy holding a bottle and drinking it twitchingly. How can I not let the old man have a surprise?
As the first generation of immigrants, Alice knew that her grandparents had suffered a lot. Compared to the prosperity of big cities, they tended to be relatively peaceful in the central region. If it weren't for the big event of adopting Caesar, the two elderly people might not have been able to come to California often except for the Spring Festival.
"That little girl Vivi is really always bringing us surprises."
Although it is difficult to get a visit from the children's house, the old man, like other elderly people, went to bed early and got up early and had no intention of staying up late with his family. So, he got up just as dawn this morning and went out for morning exercise. At this moment, he happened to walk into the house and saw his wife and son at the table, and said happily: "But why did Hannah give him such a name? Emperor Caesar?"
Hannah had been sitting at the table waiting for Sophie's breakfast: "Of course, grandpa, don't you think this name is particularly majestic?"
"It's majestic, but Vivi, should you give it a Chinese name?"
The old man sat down and looked at Caesar with a smile. The little gorilla was sitting in a baby chair. After drinking all the milk, he still kept whining and putting the bottle back in place. For the old man, what pet can be more interesting than such a smart and cute little gorilla? After all, grandchildren have grown up long ago, and there are not many opportunities to meet such a child like a child.
"The Chinese name...is not easy to get."
Alice sat at the table, squinting her eyes at the innocent Caesar. Orangutans' food is simpler than humans, and a box of cookies is done. While Sophie was still making fried eggs, it started to chew heavily, not afraid of choking itself.
"Little Black? Black? Stars? Moon?"
Grandma laughed at the name made up by her eldest granddaughter, and her face was full of folds gathered together: "Vivi, aren't you a great writer? Why is it so simple to name it? Then grandma can also give it a few, Dahuang'er, Erya, Sangoudan, do you think it is?"
Well, of course it won't work, especially when grandma's words are spoken in Chinese dialect, the strong local atmosphere is coming to her face, and Alice rolls her eyes.
"I think it's called Zhazha."
Finally, Alice's eyes turned: "Even if it wasn't a silver-backed gorilla, Caesar's combat power will definitely be very strong when he grows up. If some alien or zombie attacks, he will throw it into two small cakes with one punch!"
In this way, Caesar's Chinese name was easily passed by everyone, such as Zhazha, although I don't know why Alice started this way, but it is much better than "Little Black".
In addition, Hannah protested to Alice many times, don’t call it “it”, you have to call it “him”. Well, the little girl has a good idea, and Alice said that she would try to change her words.
There is no way, after all, her original intention is just to raise a "little mouse"...
There was nothing to do during the summer vacation. After returning from Africa, the girls in the SoS group also had to have their own small world, so they did not always get together. At least as far as Alice knows, Maiya was led by her father to visit the military base, and Ashley flew back to Milan, of course, to contribute to the development of the Clothing Institute, and neither of them was local.
As for Sissi, we have to mention DreamWorks again. After Alice's "Ghost Record" became famous, DreamWorks' film contracts are of course coming one after another. Now it's still the summer season, the small movies Lawrence has been filmed by others are being released, not to mention that there is a Christmas season waiting for him to make money. So, Sissi of course has to join in the fun, even if it's just a little drama that does a choreography, it's an extracurricular activity, right?
Of course, Alice ignored what new films DreamWorks is shooting. Anyway, in her opinion, the classic movies of the 1980s were very limited. As a newly established company, DreamWorks has already made a typical low-cost and high-box office model. What's the big deal about letting it "rest" for a little less than half a year?
Do you still have to compile the "Alien" series with seven, eight, nine, and ten sequels, and shoot the "Godzilla Series" one by one a year?
Well, it doesn't seem impossible...
So, at least before August, Alice had put almost all her energy on Caesar, who had just led her into the house.
"Caesar, when entering and leaving the room, you have to pass through the trapdoor, just like Harry Potter, do you understand? Oh, by the way, don't ask me what Harry Potter is, although you will definitely not spoil my readers~"
The attic was renovated. It was originally a place for miscellaneous items, but now it is used by the whole family to be the head of Caesar. The flesh-colored wooden floors give people a warm feeling, and specially built wooden beams allow Caesar to climb around. Of course, toys hanging from the ceiling and round windows with good light transmission are also indispensable.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Caesar jumped in the room excitedly, with big red eyes looking around curiously, and his body flexibly swiftly between the beams. Alice looked at the scene with a smile, but only took a few glances, and then turned her eyes to the small window.
It's worth noting here.
After all, it was from the 21st century, when she came to the era of the information explosion. Alice had watched no more than a thousand or eight hundred movies. She knew very well what she was doing.
She led a very smart little gorilla who could only block her mental power that could not help her.
What happens after that?
At least, you can't let this little guy run away.
The windows in the attic are the easiest channels for Caesar to get in touch with the outside environment. After all, Alice did not intend to let it wander around the streets. At least in the first few years, she had to stay in the house honestly.
So, she had to do something to the window.
Prevent problems before they happen.
Those labs that study black technology in movies are obviously viruses, monsters, and so on, but they don’t even have bulletproof glass. Then they let a certain monster escape due to operational errors. Tsk tsk, after watching so many Hollywood movies, Alice won’t make that kind of low-level mistake.
While Caesar was called downstairs by Hannah, she stayed alone in the attic and began to make small moves.
Facing the screen displayed on the window at this time, a layer of mental power was attached to it.
Opposite is a calm neighbor, living classmate Mike. The boy would sit in front of the bed on time every night to do his homework. What if he saw Caesar in the attic, what if he had a gay relationship?
So, Alice attached a layer of mental power to both sides of the window, which made Mike unable to see inside and Caesar unable to see outside.
Of course, it is not to make the window dark, but to copy the current "mirror refraction of light". Under the influence of mental power, all future refractions will be like this.
It sounds simple, but when Alice finished the work, her whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, covered with sweat. The clothes were like this, her hair was soaked with sweat, and many beads of sweat kept flowing out of her ears. It was really not something that could be summarized in a mess.
"I'm so tired... This job is so complicated..."
Alice panting down the attic. Fortunately, her family was not on the second floor at this time, so she quickly went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The water flow from the water heater kept washing his body, but Alice didn't even have much strength to take a good bath. As soon as she turned on the water flow, she sat lazily on the ground and had to take a good rest.
"It seems that my biggest problem now is...there is not enough energy."
Allowing the water to fill the whole body, Alice's brain stopped working for a minute.
"Ordinary radar scanning is very simple. Even if the consumption of hypnosis is medium, it is like the way I did just now... Yes, it is indeed much more difficult to change the light refraction of a window in semi-permanent manner than hypnosis. However, this consumption level... is indeed too high."
Alice is comparing the example just now with the past. If she consumes the most mental power, it must be because of its consumption in the macro-material world. Just like the Albuquerque incident, her three-day coma was not fake at all. She brought together powder and drugs floating in the room and corpses. It weighed hundreds of kilograms, which were really tiring than anything else.
"Well...so, I really think about whether I should take the path of developing black technology in the future?"
He considered the current capital flow that he could control and let the warm hot water continue to wash his body. Alice raised her head and closed her eyes, pinching her fingers: "At least, no matter what, even from the perspective of personal search, it would be good to allow me to use my mental power more recklessly. Then, whether it is power increase or energy supply, this is a real black technology field. Without my smart head, ordinary scientists can't do anything even if they are exhausted~"
"Gugu~"
Just then, Caesar's voice sounded from the bathroom door.
Alice opened her eyes and found that this smart little guy could even open the door. He walked into the bathroom with all his limbs and looked at Alice sitting against the wall curiously.
Looking at the cute look of the little male, Alice was happy.
"Oh, boy, I'm not old, I know how to peek at girls for a bath? I have potential~"
