"I won't take you in. I have things to do," Xiangzhong patted Lingyue's arm and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. This is in China. We will do our best to protect you."

Ling Yue didn't think much about it. She had thought about this kind of thing a long time ago. Wasn't Ling's father and mother forced to do so in the same way?

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou," Ling Yue smiled, "Can I ask a question?"

"you say."

"I want to ask, how many people are secretly..."

This sentence is too heavy.

There are always some people who go against the flow of bullets.

Xiangzhong was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Just focus on the research you like. We will do our best to support you in any research you do."

I didn't get the answer I wanted to know from Xiangzhong's words. Either it didn't exist, or it was confidential, or...it was impossible to count.

Of course it can't be the first one. He is the one who protects her, so he naturally won't keep it secret from her. It can only be the third one.

Ling Yue watched Xiangzhong leave, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Brother Tang, what do you think I can do?"

Ling Yue murmured.

She obviously did nothing but conduct a few studies, but she harmed a lot of people.

At this moment, she actually felt a little aggrieved.

There's nothing wrong with this ugly country, right? She didn't steal their technology, so what?

In the interstellar world, few people attack scientists. Of course, those antisocial scientists deserve to die.

Even if the two federations fight each other, it is just house arrest and has not come to the point of real fighting.

Tang Nancheng had no idea what Ling Yue was thinking, so he said very bluntly, "What you brought is more important than our lives, so you don't have to do anything special, just be yourself."

Hearing this, Ling Yue glanced at Tang Nancheng.

The psychological burden is not in vain.

She said nothing more, then turned and walked into the gate of the Agricultural Research Institute.

Gene mutation is simple, it is just to improve the drought resistance of plants by increasing the expression of certain genes.

But it is difficult. It is necessary to transfer drought-resistant genes and inoculation genes from other organisms into upland rice to improve its drought resistance and inoculation capabilities.

Doesn't it seem simple? But you should know that the average person has 3.16 billion DNA base pairs.

Only a fraction of these base pairs make up approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes.

They need to find excellent genes in this huge gene sequence to replace non-defective genes.

Such a project is as difficult as finding an undiscovered planet in a sky full of stars.

"Hello, I'm Ling Yue, and this is my ID."

As she spoke, Ling Yue handed the ID to the guard.

The things here are very important. They were taken over by the military district half a month ago. The people standing at the door are guards.

After carefully checking Ling Yue's identity and contacting the higher-ups, half an hour passed after completing the whole process.

After getting the confirmation, the guard let Ling Yue in.

Ling Yue took the white coat handed to her by the receptionist in the cloakroom and put it on, then changed into slippers and walked in.

The person inside who was immersed in analysis was so lost in his own world that he didn't even notice the door was opened.

Ling Yue knocked lightly on the table and said softly, "Hello, I'm looking for Dean Han."

She took out her ID and placed it behind the lab table by the door, in front of the person looking in the microscope.

The man looked up, looked at Ling Yue with red eyes, and then checked the documents.

"You stand over there first, I'll go call them." The man pointed to an empty space without any equipment, and then walked in quickly.

You cannot run, laugh or play loudly in the laboratory. This is common sense and also a moral principle.

"Teacher Han, someone is looking for you."

Ling Yue looked inside through the experimental equipment and saw a few people gathered in front, and the person who just entered was standing behind a thin man with silver hair.

"Here is the ID." As he said that, the man handed the ID to Han Yongming.

"Ling Yue? Where is she?" Han Yongming looked up in surprise and looked towards the door.

Ling Yue smiled and nodded.

Soon, Han Yongming came over with his men: "Ling Yue? Ling Gong?"

"It's me, Dean Han. Long time no see."

I haven't actually seen it, but I've heard the voice on the phone.

"Come on, please come in."

Ling Yue nodded: "Dean Han, let's go check out the petri dish first."

I didn't expect Ling Yue to start working right after arriving. There are not many people with such scientific research spirit: "Okay, let's go, here."

As he spoke, Han Yongming took Ling Yue into a glass room. In order to simulate the arid climate, there was very little moisture in the air. The temperature in the room could reach 48 degrees during the day, and 40 degrees at night.

Researchers who are doing long-term observations need to stay in such temperatures for a whole day.

As soon as Ling Yue entered, she could feel her skin about to crack inch by inch.

"This is the petri dish. It's made according to your requirements, so there are three types of soil: sandy soil, loam, and clay."

"In addition, according to the salinity and alkalinity, we tested low salinity and alkalinity with a pH value of 7.1-8.5; medium salinity and alkalinity with a pH value of 8.5-9.5; and heavy salinity and alkalinity with a pH value of 9.5 or above to simulate the seed-bearing effects of different soils."

The petri dish has nine areas and hundreds of experimental samples.

Half an hour later, my skin started to feel hot and painful.

Ling Yue looked at them one by one, and then took out a small species from each area.

She said in a deep voice, "I want a microscope."

Han Yongming didn't say anything and directly took Ling Yue to the laboratory. All the instruments were in this laboratory, which was 500 square meters. Her own laboratory in the Fifth Academy was also this big.

Microscopes can be used to determine the activity of these seeds, which is the quickest way to draw conclusions.

If they want to confirm the research results, they can only wait until the autumn harvest, then weigh the crops to find out which soil is suitable for planting, which soil is not suitable, and how much the yield will be.

But they don't have time to wait, they have to plant in the north before mid-May, as the planting time in the south has passed.

Last year, she had not thought about going into agriculture. Firstly, she thought she was not good at it, and secondly, she did not have a strong sense of belonging at that time. She did research just because she liked it.

By the time I really want to do something for the people here, it's already too late.

Ling Yue pressed the sample under the microscope. The mutant is indeed a mutant. It can survive in such a harsh environment.

While Ling Yue was busy at the research base, an earthquake occurred in the Forbidden City.

"Is it him?" Xiangzhong looked at the list in his hand in disbelief.
