Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Night Party
On the eve of the trip, everyone was busy and nervously preparing.
In addition to the accompanying troops, they also needed to arrange for orc guards, a medical team, and a logistics team, as communication, transportation, accommodation, and food for all personnel along the way required extra attention. Furthermore, they also had to bring their own media and public relations team to facilitate subsequent press releases.
Of the 100 researchers in her institute, only 40 are permanently stationed in the Xisha region; the rest need to travel frequently. However, recently, due to her travels, the other regions have been less anxious, so the number of people stationed in the Xisha region is around 70.
In addition to her own team, she will also be bringing some researchers from the Xisha Islands. Being able to personally visit other districts for in-depth experience and exchange is a rare learning opportunity. It's also a benefit she's offering to the Xisha Islands researchers.
However, she wasn't sure how many people she would take with her from her own research institute. The advantage of following her everywhere was that she could speed up the plants at any time, allowing them to quickly obtain the necessary plant samples. The disadvantage was that the research environment was constantly changing, and there was no telling what unexpected situations might arise outside.
Ye Ning is now discussing this matter with the director of the institute.
Although it was her research institute, Ye Ning still hired a director. This person was sent by Gaojiang District. Ye Ning had spotted her when she looked through the resumes of the group.
Since the institute's founding, she's been handling a lot of the small details. She handles matters big and small with a reassuring air, which is why Ye Ning likes her quite a bit.
Dean: "Why don't you take Shi Cong and Cang Hao with you? If you're worried about the lab, we can assemble it inside the aircraft. This way, the lab can be moved anywhere at any time. The environment won't change much, and they can escape quickly if they encounter danger. If you're not with them, their research progress will definitely slow down."
"All the planting processes at the institute are already up and running, and we can produce seeds regularly every week. We'll just have to consume a few more Originiums when the time comes. We were originally planning to slow down the pace of planting."
The current planting area is already very large. If they can't maintain the current planting area, then constantly opening up new planting areas would be a waste of resources. Therefore, the top priority for other districts is to try their best to plant all the items that can be planted now.
"Global pollutants have decreased significantly, and aircraft are now safe to fly at night. Furthermore, the Federation's newly developed aircraft have greatly increased their speed. If there's a problem, you can return immediately. Even at the farthest point from the Xisha Islands, a round trip only takes a day."
Ye Ning nodded. "Then you guys will arrange the personnel. I prefer to rotate the personnel. They will follow me for a while, and then we'll replace them with another group of people. This way, more people can gain experience."
Dean: "You are right. I will arrange it right away."
She turned and walked out the door. After a few steps, she saw Cang Hao standing in the corner.
When Cang Hao saw her, he walked over with a smile, "Dean."
The dean also smiled, "Wait for me here?"
Cang Hao nodded and said, "I heard from them that you just went to discuss the personnel arrangements for the accompanying researchers with Master Ye Ning."
Dean: "Yes, go back and prepare. I will arrange another aircraft for you to use as a research laboratory."
The smile on Cang Hao's face finally became genuine, and his tone became much more intimate, "Thank you, Dean."
The dean patted his shoulder and said, "Go and get busy."
Only then did Cang Hao turn around and go to the laboratory with satisfaction.
The dean looked at Cang Hao's back as he left and shook her head slightly. Based on her understanding of Cang Hao, he would not give up if she did not let him in.
The night before leaving, Ye Ning still couldn't sleep.
She lay there for five minutes, then suddenly felt the urge to go for a walk in the ecological zone. She hadn't used a kettle to water the plants in a long time.
Ye Ning got up immediately and took the kettle.
As soon as she went out, Long Qi and Cang Chen, who were guarding the door, looked over.
Ye Ning held the kettle and looked at them, "I can't sleep, I want to go water the plants."
She wore loose, comfortable cotton clothes with a light coat on the outside. Her slightly curly hair was pinned behind her ears with a strawberry hairpin. After this period of exercise, her figure looked tighter, but under the loose clothes, there were tight and elastic muscles.
The clothes Ye Ning was wearing were made some time ago using cotton and linen that had just been planted.
Although cotton and linen clothing doesn't have the same temperature-regulating effect as protective clothing, it's very comfortable to wear. She's also now replaced her bed sheets and quilt with new ones made of pure cotton and hand-stretched cotton.
She gave Hou Sen and Feng Qi a set of four-piece suits, and distributed the remaining cotton to the chef and the people in the research institute.
One acre of land yielded 300 kilograms of cotton, and only 500 grams was needed to make a pillow. So Ye Ning gave all the cotton away as welfare. But most of it was kept by them, used to make her clothes and other daily necessities.
Because cotton is not edible, planting it is a bit of a waste of resources. So after planting one acre, I will not plant a second time in the short term.
Long Qi took her water bottle and looked at her, "Put on the protective suit."
His tone was icy, as if it had no warmth. But this was the first time Cang Chen had heard him speak today.
Cang Chen glanced at Long Qi, then at Ye Ning.
Cang Chen: "Do you want me to help you get your clothes?"
No one can enter Ye Ning's room casually.
Ye Ning smiled and said, "No, I just want to take a walk in the planting area. I don't want to wear a coat."
She has been wearing protective clothing and has not felt the natural temperature for a long time. Of course, wearing protective clothing is more for safety reasons.
But tonight, she really didn't want to wear protective clothing.
"Let's go for a walk now. It will probably be a month or two before we come back."
Ye Ning walked in front.
There were several people guarding the door, and everyone was surprised to see her come out now.
The busier she was, the more fixed her schedule became. She couldn't even remember the last time she went out late at night.
Probably when she was a little cub.
Ye Ning thought about it and walked out the door.
A cool breeze blew over her face, and Ye Ning exhaled softly again. The white mist was gone.
According to the seasons of her original world, it was late autumn. However, the plants in the planting area didn't seem bleak at all. They didn't have large leaves to begin with, and the greenest ones were the cacti. Even when it snowed in the Xisha Islands, the cacti remained green.
Hou Lin and Le Song received the news that she came out in the middle of the night, so they immediately changed their clothes and rushed over.
In a few minutes, people gathered at the door.
Hou Lin yawned, "I'm so energetic today, but I still have to come out to water the plants in the middle of the night."
Ye Ning nodded, "You guys go and rest, I just want to take a walk by myself, you don't have to follow me."
Gu Su immediately said, "We are not sleepy."
Ye Ning looked at them and said, "You guys go and rest. Cangchen, you should go to sleep too. Long Qi, just follow me."
It just so happened that she had something to talk to Long Qi about alone.
Gu Su wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Gu Yu, "Okay, call us if you need anything."
Ye Ning nodded, smiled and waved to them, "Go ahead, good night."
She hadn't meant to disturb them; it must have been the soldiers at the door who called them over.
Ye Ning looked around and said to Long Qi, "Let's go in the sightseeing bus. I'll drive."
She quite likes driving a sightseeing bus. When the wind blows and she looks at the surrounding scenery, she feels very comfortable.
During this time, she not only exercised her body, but also learned how to drive the cars and aircraft here.
In fact, the transportation here can be completely left to automatic driving, but Hou Lin is not at ease, so he always sits in the driver's seat and observes the situation at all times.
After they left, Gu Su asked, "Don't we really need to follow them?"
Hou Lin looked at him. "Just because she has a good temper doesn't mean you can ignore her words. She's said it twice. If she says it a third time, she won't use the same tone."
Gu Su was slightly stunned, "Will Ye Ning be angry too?"
Hou Lin: "Of course, she is a human, why wouldn't she be angry? She just doesn't yell when she's angry. You should be thankful that Gu Yu stopped you, otherwise -"
Ye Ning didn't get angry easily, so when she did, it made him even more uncomfortable. He didn't want to experience that complex mix of panic, fear, and regret again.
But Gu Su really needs a lesson.
Hou Lin said in a cold tone, "If the people who just spoke were Yan Gang and Feng Yue, would you still keep asking questions?"
Gu Su felt a chill on his back, "Sorry."
His tone became anxious again, "Did Lord Ye Ning get angry with me just now?"
"No, if she is angry, she will say it directly, but you'd better not let her say it directly, otherwise she may not want to see you." Hou Lin threatened him again.
"Okay, let's all go to sleep. With Long Qi here, nothing will happen."
He vaguely knew that Ye Ning must have something to say to Long Qi. Anyway, there was a secret between the two of them, but since it was a secret, others should not be curious.
Ye Ning was driving, paying attention to the movements around him.
There is still a huge red moon above my head, and I can hear the sounds of birds and frogs from time to time.
Ye Ning was in a very good mood, "I haven't been out at night for a long time."
Long Qi nodded slightly.
After a while, he added, "It's cold now."
Ye Ning: "But it's much better than before. I remember when I first appeared here, every breath I took was filled with white mist."
"It was really cold at that time. When we went out, Shao Yu wrapped me in his clothes."
As more and more people were around her, Shao Yu's appearance frequency was actually not that high. But if she wanted to go out, he would be there.
Ye Ning also suddenly remembered him.
Long Qi didn't say anything.
Ye Ning didn't go to see him either. She was in a very good mood. Whether Long Qi said anything or not didn't affect her mood. Besides, he was just like that.
After driving to a deserted place, Ye Ning stopped the car and extended her hand to him, "Give me the kettle."
Long Qi handed over the kettle.
It was full of water. Ye Ning weighed it with one hand and said, "Let's just water it from the outside."
The newly opened area has only had the soil improved and seeds sown, and the drip irrigation system has not yet been installed.
The red moonlight shines on the earth. The occasional appearance of birds and the sudden darting of snakes, insects and animals add a strange atmosphere to the ecological zone.
But Ye Ning has gotten used to it. In fact, only the moon is a little scary.
She looked at the clearly visible craters on the moon and suddenly asked, "Do you believe they can find another habitable planet?"
Long Qi also looked up at the red moon in the sky. After a while, he nodded.
Ye Ning looked back at him, "I believe it too. If we exist in the universe, there must be others, but we just haven't discovered them yet."
This is actually the consensus of the Dust Stars, which is why everyone spends so much time and resources investing in interstellar exploration.
"Every time I look up at the sky, I feel that the universe is amazing."
Everyone is curious about how humans and the world came into being. To explain this, various religions and myths have emerged. Everyone is trying to explain this question.
She wasn't really interested in the reasons, because they were somewhat meaningless to her. Human life was very short, and in the universe, it was like a speck of dust.
So it would be great if everyone can do their own thing well.
Long Qi looked at her, the red moonlight shining on her face and body, outlining her figure.
Her eyes sparkled softly under the crimson moonlight, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth were like the warmest and brightest sunshine on a winter's day.
His heart began to beat faster involuntarily, and everything around him seemed to be quiet at this moment.
He grew up here and had seen the red moon rise countless times, but he had never experienced this kind of feeling.
The feeling of hugging her last time was still there, and he suddenly wanted to reach out and gently touch her cheek to feel her warmth.
But when Ye Ning looked over, he looked away and said, "It may take a long time."
Ye Ning thought about space and the universe for a while, "One day I want to go to space and take a look."
If she wants to go, it should be quite easy.
His thoughts wandered for a moment, and Ye Ning looked down at the condition of the plants pragmatically.
While watering the plants, she whispered, "After we go to Gaojiang District, you can secretly go find Xilos first."
