With a wave of her hand, Xiaoxi placed two stones in her hand.

The two stones refracted beautiful light in the sunlight.

"It works!" It's incredibly useful!

Xiaoxi's voice was filled with excitement. The green stone was mica, and the pink one was stamen stone, both of which have medicinal value in traditional Chinese medicine.

Third Brother keeps saying that the medicine he's researching now has very poor stability, and that the substances extracted from these two stones could be used as stabilizers.

Wang Laoyu, who had fallen to the ground, didn't dare to get up. He was extremely humble. When he heard Xiao Xi say that it was useful, he felt a little relieved.

Xiaoxi asked, "Where did you find these stones? What's your name? What are your skills?"

Old Wang quickly answered each question, emphasizing how he found the stone.

He also mentioned that after graduating from high school, while still on land, he taught himself how to use a computer.

At this moment, a former subordinate of Tong Biao told Xiao Xi that this man had informed Brother Biao that he should release the goods within two hours, but Brother Biao did not listen.

After considering it for a moment, Xiaoxi said to Wang Laoyu, "Okay, Wang Laoyu, you will be in charge of mining mica and stamen stone from now on."

Please write a plan outlining the required manpower and specific arrangements for me in a bit!

Old Wang was overjoyed.

So that's what a nice-sounding name "Stone" is. I made the right bet this time, and even landed a management position. I'm all set now, I don't have to be kicked off the island anymore.

Because of the discovery of the stone, Xiaoxi rearranged the fishermen's schedule.

Some people went to quarry stone, some followed Tong Biao to clean up the dilapidated houses on the island, and some farmed the land. So for the time being, there were no people to be driven away.

But Xiaoxi said it depends on their performance. If they work hard, they will get paid; if they don't listen or work hard, they will still be kicked out.

This is her island, and she calls the shots.

Everyone nodded and agreed loudly.

Currently, the houses in the village are uninhabitable. Fortunately, Tong Biao's former stronghold was large enough, and with the addition of Tong Biao's former subordinates, the main building of the stronghold can accommodate these several hundred people.

The grain reserves are sufficient.

Xiaoxi left Kangcheng on the island to be the manager, while she and her third brother, who was eager to do research, took Tiedan back to the whale laboratory.

However, this time they sailed the whale near the island so they could land on it immediately should anything happen on the island.

Inside the whale laboratory.

Ye Zhilin asked Xiaoxi, "What's the use of those two kinds of stones? They're not gold mines, so why do we need to mine them so extensively?"

Xiaoxi said confidently, "Third Brother, look, these are not ordinary stones. One is mica and the other is flower stamen stone."

In traditional Chinese medicine, these substances have significant medicinal value. I can extract the crystals from them and use them in the medicines my brother is researching.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Zhilin immediately rejected the idea.

"Xiaoxi, it's not that your brother doesn't believe you, but how can my medicines, which are made of chemicals, be put into stone crystals?"

Xiaoxi picked up the draft her third brother had written when they first met from the table.

"At the time, my third brother said that silicon, calcium, and uranium were too toxic. I said that we could use the juice of the mild plant Viola yedoensis instead. If plants are okay, why can't we use stone crystals? They are all natural Chinese medicinal materials."

Ye Zhilin shook his hands until they were blurry. "No! Xiaoxi, this is absolutely not allowed! Western medicine is Western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine is traditional Chinese medicine. How can you confuse them?"

Xiaoxi insisted on persuading her brother.

"Does my brother look down on traditional Chinese medicine? Why can't traditional Chinese and Western medicine be combined?"

For example, when the hermit magic family created my brother's blue whale, they also incorporated elements of our Chinese geomancy, such as the art of gold division.

The two siblings began a heated argument.

Xiaoxi knew that her third brother was too obsessed with his field of knowledge, and she didn't blame him for not giving in to his younger sister.

"Third Brother, how about this? Facts speak louder than words. Give me three days, and I'll give it a try!"
