Chapter 782: The Carrot Hanging from the Donkey

With just a few words, he not only deviated from the topic of a meeting, but also provoked conflicts among the participants.

Lu Weiyi looked at this scene and confirmed once again that he didn't like greeting these highly intelligent people. They kept saying so many things in one sentence, which was annoying and tiring.

Originally, there was no need for him to attend this kind of meeting, but today Li Zhuang was injured, Ning Yuan was on the front line, and others were busy deploying personnel. This concerned the safety of tens of thousands of people, so someone who could make the final decision had to be present. In the end, he had to come with Yin Jin.

"Dong Dong Dong" Lu Weiyi knocked on the table.

The dull voice made everyone look over. He glanced at everyone and asked casually, "Who gave you the illusion that you could participate in the base's decision-making?"

From the very beginning, Yuebanwan has been a one-man show. According to Zhuang Mingxu, only when power is not dispersed can unity be achieved, which is why they are busy every day.

He looked at the several psychics who were silenced by Zhuang Mobai's words, and successfully made them lower their heads. Then he looked at the researchers who were called in and said, "Develop a plan to minimize the impact as much as possible."

"I think..." Zhuang Mobai looked at him with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Weiyi standing and looking at him.

"Professor Zhuang, you have new research to be responsible for."

"I am currently in charge of the research on enhancing the human body's ability to resist radiation. Is the base commander sure you want me to change direction?" Zhuang Mobai still maintained a smile on his face. The smooth and closed life had not caused any impact on him at all.

"Director, Professor Zhuang has very unique insights in this area. It would be a great loss to ask him to change his research direction now..." An old professor immediately spoke up to plead for Zhuang Mobai.

"Indeed, Professor Zhuang's knowledge and ability are greater than we realize. Letting him leave now would be tantamount to giving up halfway."

"Base commander, would you please consider changing professor?"

…

There were twelve professors from various research fields sitting there, and five of them spoke up for Zhuang Mobai. No wonder Zhuang Mobai was so fearless.

He is arrogant because of his talent.

Lu Weiyi cursed him countless times in his heart, letting them speak for Zhuang Mobai. He took out a stack of documents from the space and flipped through two pages.

Then Zhuang Mobai said, "Since the base director has a more important research direction, I am naturally willing to cooperate..."

Radiation is of great importance to both psychics and ordinary people. Zhuang Mobai's words were tantamount to telling everyone that Lu Weiyi did not take it seriously. Many people in the conference room looked over with disapproval.

He is of a high rank and is less likely to be threatened by radiation. If he insists on doing so and leaves the door, who knows what rumors might arise.

"I believe the base commander has a far-sighted vision and must have his own vision. We..."

Before Zhuang Mobai could finish his words, Lu Weiyi handed him a few sheets of paper and said, "Since everyone thinks that anti-radiation research cannot be separated from Professor Zhuang, then he should maintain the current project, but..."

After seeing the excitement in Zhuang Mobai's eyes, Lu Weiyi looked at the researchers who spoke for him and said, "As you said, since Professor Zhuang can do it, there is no need for you to get involved."

Seeing several people's faces change, Lu Weiyi stood up and looked at everyone in the meeting, "Submit the best solution in half an hour."

"The base does not keep idle people, I hope everyone knows this."

Before Lu Weiyi left, he stepped forward to take the documents from Zhuang Mobai's hand, but Zhuang Mobai grabbed him and even used half of his body to hold down a few pages of paper without any image.

His eyes sparkled as he looked up at Lu Weiyi, "Is this true? Do you want me to study this?"

Lu Weiyi smiled, walked forward and grabbed Zhuang Mobai, taking the papers back from his hand bit by bit, "I just feel a little confused when I saw these things. Since Professor Zhuang has a project on hand, I will let someone else do it."

"I have time. I am very interested in this project." Zhuang Mobai didn't care. He followed him out and asked, "Did you see a successful experiment? Was it really successful?"

Lu Weiyi stood at the door and looked back at him, "Radiation research is more important. Let's talk about other things after this project is finished."

Zhuang Mobai really wanted to go back to a moment ago and slap himself twice. He followed Lu Weiyi's footsteps with big strides, and his low voice could be heard with excitement, "Which base is this experiment from? Have you seen a successful human-animal transformation?"

"It's a foreign research project, obtained accidentally. I've seen successful experimental subjects that can transform between humans and animals smoothly. Such finished products will not attract zombies," Lu Weiyi answered very seriously, "and they have also developed a way to control zombies to obey orders, forming a small zombie army."

Zhuang Mobai was listening excitedly when he saw Lu Weiyi finish his recollection and said to the two bodyguards following Zhuang Mobai, "Send Professor Zhuang back, his current research is very important..."

"Lu Weiyi, Director Lu, who do you want to give these two projects to? There is definitely no one more suitable than me among the scientific researchers in the entire base." Zhuang Mobai rarely recommended himself.

Lu Weiyi thought about the documents in his hand and said, "I have a complete set of research materials. I believe that it doesn't take a very outstanding scientific researcher to understand it, and..."

"I think what you said is absolutely right. The situation in our base, whether life or death, has not yet been resolved. It's a bit early to study these things."

"You..." Zhuang Mobai was speechless because of his words. He gritted his teeth for a long time and lowered his head. "What do you want me to do to give this project to you?"

Unlike those researchers who are eager to leave, Zhuang Mobai is fully focused on exploring new research in different fields. This place can provide him with the environment and resources, which is the best choice for him.

But all this is based on the fact that what he is researching happens to be what the base needs. Otherwise, even if he wants to study unrelated projects, he will be limited by resources and unable to continue.

Now it was Lu Weiyi who took the lead slowly. He left Zhuang Mobai alone for a long while before saying, "It depends on how long it takes you to solve the radiation problem."

Facing Zhuang Mobai's gnashing teeth face, Lu Weiyi waved the documents in his hand in a very good mood.

If you are looking for something to do, it means you have too much free time. I believe Professor Zhuang will not waste time on other things in the short term.

Although the base has sunk more than 20 meters, it does not mean that there are no buildings deeper. The base’s hospitals and research institutes are all located deeper in order to better protect some electronic equipment.

When Lu Weiyi returned home, there were only a group of psychics who had just returned, lying around at random.

"So soon?" Ning Yuan, who was lying on the sofa, was surprised. "Is it over?"

"I asked them to submit a solution within half an hour. If they can't do it, I will replace them." Lu Weiyi sniffed the faint burnt smell in the air and looked towards the kitchen uncertainly.

Ning Yuan didn't comment when he heard him say this, "Yes, Xu Sa, I asked Brother Xi to take Ai Yi to the underground research institute. Whoever is free should cook next."

"How is Li Zhuang?"

Gu Qingyue shook his head, "The electronic equipment is malfunctioning and surgery cannot be performed. We can only wait until this solar storm is over. Xu Yi went to take care of him. When I came back, he was awake and not in danger of life, but the injury looks a little scary."

"Are there many injured?"

"Start with those few, the ones after that are just because they have overdrawn their superpowers and just need to rest."

Xu Sa cooked the noodles, but they were a bit burnt. “My skills are limited, so I’ll just have to make do with it.”

Everyone was tired after a whole night, so no one minded. They quickly finished their meal and went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.

After everyone left, Ning Yuan asked Lu Weiyi about the meeting, "Did anyone say anything?"

"They want to give up on ordinary people," Lu Weiyi did not hide it.

Ning Yuan sighed, "We have heard such news a long time ago. Mainly because of the various disasters that are coming, there is limited things that ordinary people can do. They have always been in the position of being protected and cannot provide corresponding value, which inevitably causes dissatisfaction among those with special abilities."

"Especially after being protected for such a long time, it is inevitable that some people will develop the perception that this is how it should be. This is what other psychics cannot accept the most."

Lu Weiyi nodded, "What do you think we should do?"

Zhuang Mingxu and Zhuang Aiyi are both ordinary people, which means Lu Weiyi cannot completely abandon the ordinary people in the base. To be selfish, no one can guarantee what kind of disasters will happen in the future. Take this radiation for example, if it weren't for the abnormalities in most ordinary people, who would have known that invisible radiation would appear.

If these others hadn't stepped in first, it would be too late when the accident happened to Zhuang Aiyi or Zhuang Mingxu.

Ning Yuan was silent for a long time, then looked up at Lu Weiyi and said, "We won't wait any longer. Once the solar storm is over, we will start evacuating ordinary people immediately."

Lu Weiyi did not refute.

The two men reached an agreement, and Ning Yuan stood up and stretched his muscles, "I'll go see the result of their discussion. If you don't want to sleep, go and bring some food to Li Zhuang."

"The noodles just now?" Lu Weiyi felt that it might be a bit awkward to pass that thing over.

"You watch." Ning Yuan got up and left. Lu Weiyi returned to the kitchen and found that there was no leftover food at all.

There were also raw materials in the refrigerator that served as a vegetable storage room. Lu Weiyi stood by the stove and studied it for a long time but still didn't understand how to use it.

In the end, they could only ask Zhuang Mingxu for help to send some cooked food over through the space, and also informed them of the situation here.

It was not the first time that Zhuang Mingxu received a message asking for food, so he promptly asked the kitchen to prepare it, and then he replied, "In the basement built with the secretions of the abyss mushroom, all electrical appliances have not been affected and can still be used normally. Medical personnel can be dispatched first to perform surgery on the wounded."

Lu Weiyi, who was bored and studying He Song's inspection report on the table, saw the news and immediately sat up straight. He read it twice and still asked uncertainly.

[If it can block the impact of solar storms, can it also block radiation? 】
