Chapter 575 Why didn’t you say so earlier (6)

"Either he didn't say it, or if he did, it wasn't a lie." Or, not completely false.

Chief Alliance Officer Li was very confident.

Qiu Man didn't know where Chief Alliance Officer Li's trust came from, but after listening to his words, his heart inexplicably calmed down.

"Okay, since he mentioned the Shen family's ancient medical books and a few unknown seeds, you can go to the research institute and ask Old Xu for the details."

Qiu Man nodded and left.

Chief Alliance Officer Li looked at Qiu Man's back in a daze.

I thought, "Did Xiao Shen mention those two things intentionally or unintentionally? Will the ancient medical book and the unknown plant bring them a surprise, or will it be a waste of time?"

After thinking for a long time, Chief Alliance Officer Li smiled and murmured, "Look at me, I am really possessed. He is just an ordinary young man, why did I put all my hopes on him? It's really like a desperate person trying all kinds of methods."

After I figured it out, I felt relieved and continued to work.

After covering up the incident thoroughly, Qiu Man drove to the research institute.

After chatting with Dean Xu for a while, I learned that their research on those unknown plants is still in its early stages.

"It wasn't long ago that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences sent the finished product over. We arranged for several senior researchers to study the plant's roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and so on, but they didn't find anything different from other plants."

Dean Xu explained to Qiu Man while taking him to the laboratory.

If it was someone else, he would not have taken it with him at all. But Qiu Man provided the unknown seeds, and he was also approved by General Li, so he should not have any bad intentions towards the unknown plants.

Qiu Manke didn't know that Dean Xu had thought so much. He followed his footsteps and arrived at a large laboratory.

There is a small indoor flower garden inside, and all conditions strictly simulate the outside world.

There are all kinds of brightly colored flowers planted in the flower beds. You can tell from their shapes and colors that they are extraordinary.

Even though it was the first time he saw them, Qiu Man was attracted by their good looks.

Just when I was about to touch their petals and feel the silk-like texture, I was stopped by Dean Xu: "You can only watch from a distance!"

Well, the rules still have to be followed.

Qiu Man withdrew his eager hand, but he was still very excited when looking at them.

He didn't know if they were all plants that bloom in spring and summer, but wherever he looked, every plant was in bloom, and the flowers swayed gently under the blow of the blower.

"Why are you still using the blower? Aren't you afraid that it will be blown off?" Qiu Man asked.

Dean Xu smiled and said, "How can that be possible? These machines have been modified, and the wind force they blow is not strong, at most level three."

"No wonder, that's fine, it's almost like tickling."

"Yes, it is simulating the natural wind outside."

"Why does it feel so troublesome? It's not so troublesome to grow flowers at home, even if they are rare varieties."

Dean Xu rolled his eyes. "Rare species? That's just something the merchants are hyping up. What era is it now? Rare species can be sold everywhere with just tissue culture. In other words, they deliberately promote the idea that rare species are valuable in order to keep the price from falling.

But these are real treasures.

Dean Tian and I tried it, and we were able to grow it in tissue culture, but the key is that it is difficult to grow. If the temperature and humidity of the environment are not strictly controlled, it will not be able to thrive. The same goes for the air. If it is a little turbid, it will start to wilt. "

Qiu Man thought this statement was expected. But, "How do these plants grow on their own during this period?"

The term "period belonging to this type of plant" is used because these plants do not exist at all today.

Dean Xu pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, the environment in ancient times was much better than it is now. Moreover, these plants still need to be well cared for in order to grow and reproduce.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have fallen to the point where we have to rely on a bunch of seeds to continue our race."

Qiu Man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly held Dean Xu's arm: "Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel that these plants may be of great use, otherwise why would those ancients go to the trouble of preserving them.

If you say that the flowers are beautiful, I don’t believe it. There are so many beautiful flowers in the world, why are these few special? "

Dean Xu also had this idea, but the key point is that after so much research, he has not found anything.

Seeing Old Man Xu's confused and unbelieving look, Qiu Man was furious and asked directly: "Where is that ancient medical book? Have you studied it thoroughly?"

"No, many of the herbs mentioned above are extinct. Some of them are just names, without even pictures or descriptions. How can we study them? As for those common prescriptions, they have been formulated into finished products. Aren't they already in production, and are quite effective?"

Qiu Man nodded, "Yes, that's right! Could it be that those flowers are the magical plants mentioned in ancient medical books?"

Dean Xu looked at Qiu Man like he was a fool, and then sneered: "You are a fool, you think everything you see is an ancient extinct plant? Why don't you say they are from outer space?"

Qiu Man was not angry at all. Instead, he said confidently: "Who knows? Have you seen any ancient books that record these plants? No! Otherwise, you would have known what they are called and what they are used for. So, it is not impossible that they come from outer space.

Only you guys who talk about science all day have limited your thinking to a certain framework. But how much science is there these days?"

Dean Xu blew his beard and glared, but he couldn't say anything.

He was unwilling to accept it. Was the science he had been immersed in all his life false? Were the theorems and matter he had learned all illusions?

But if it were false, how could he have achieved such a high level of accomplishment and obtained the position of the head of the research institute?

But if it was true, why couldn't he solve any of the problems that arose after the end of the world? Every time he saved people from disaster, he used unscientific methods.

Really, he was so old, and it posed such a big problem to him, which almost ruined his reputation in his later years.

Qiu Manke didn't know what Dean Xu was feeling. He was still pacing excitedly: "It must be. Those seeds were placed together with the ancient medical books. So, it is very likely that they are medicinal seeds specially preserved for the purpose of passing on medical skills. Don't you think so?"

Dean Xu's face changed and he asked sternly, "What did you say? Ancient medical books and seeds are placed together?"

Qiu Man didn't understand why Dean Xu suddenly turned hostile, so he scratched his head and said, "Yeah, what's the problem?"

When Dean Xu heard this, he was so angry that he trembled.

Pointing at Qiu Man, he angrily asked, "You, why didn't you say so earlier?"
