"Jiao Jiao!"
In the cafeteria, Professor Lin Zhong left everyone else behind and walked up to Jiaojiao in two steps.
"Haha! How come you've grown so tall after not seeing you for a year!" Professor Lin Zhong gestured with his hands to indicate Jiaojiao's height.
Jiaojiao smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescents: "Uncle Lin!"
"Uncle brought you some delicious food! I'll give it to you later!" Professor Lin Zhong said in a low voice.
Jiaojiao then closed her mouth and nodded.
"Oh right, and your Uncle Cheng and the others, do you remember them? I greeted them all before I came here, hahaha! They were all so envious! It's a pity that I'm the only one who has the chance to return to Daqing Mountain! Especially your Uncle Qu and the others, I don't even know where they're hiding, hahaha!"
Uncle Qu was the geological exploration expert who had come last time. Before he left, Jiaojiao had casually tipped him off to a direction: they'd recently made great progress, discovering a massive iron ore deposit. The country had been desperately in need of iron for the past couple of years, and ordinary people were melting down their pots to make iron. With this massive iron ore deposit, at least they wouldn't have to use their pots anymore!
Lin Zhong glanced around again and whispered, "Your uncle Qu told me last time that he thanked you and that he would definitely come to Daqingshan again next time he was free!"
In the letter, the old friend only mentioned it in one sentence, but Lin Zhong was a smart man and guessed the meaning behind it immediately.
Lao Qu traveled extensively, wherever needed, sleeping on grasslands, crossing the Gobi Desert, and deep into the mountains. Each mission lasted months. Despite such hardships, discovering mineral deposits would be a blessing, but in reality, their efforts were often in vain. Sometimes, even after discovering a mineral, they could only watch in despair due to difficulties with mining technology.
The last time they returned from Daqing Mountain, Lao Qu and his team didn't even rest before heading straight to the next exploration site. That was also a deep mountain, and the exploration team members, carrying heavy backpacks and bulky exploration equipment, advanced deep into the mountains.
They knocked and touched the mountain bit by bit, inch by inch, and finally their hard work paid off and they discovered iron ore!
"Your Uncle Qu doesn't know I'm back in Daqingshan. I sent him a letter when I came, but I'm not sure if he received it!"
Jiaojiao...Uncle Lin, you are really attracting too much hatred!
After dinner, the group hurried up the mountain. They hadn't found any red fruit in the forest the last time they came, so this time they wanted to see if they could cultivate and plant it in large quantities.
If multiple tests confirm that red fruit is indeed effective in reducing the sequelae of radiation, then the problem of planting it will arise.
What Lin Zhong needs to do is transplant the red fruits to other soil for cultivation. The fruits will then be tested again and will only be considered successful if their efficacy remains unchanged.
"This Daqing Mountain is much better than the last time we came here, both the air and the plants are much better!"
Lin Zhong explained the old Daqing Mountain to Lin Zhongxiao and the others: "There wasn't this spring. The climate on the mountain wasn't as comfortable. Now it feels a bit like late spring or early summer. Although there used to be a lot of vegetation on the mountain in winter, with lichens and wild vegetables everywhere, the climate wasn't as pleasant."
Lin Zhong finished speaking and looked around from the top of the mountain. "This mountain seems to be changing all the time! So, when you say there are red fruits that can cure radiation sequelae, I believe it! I feel like this place... is like a mountain range forgotten by the gods in the mortal world. It wouldn't be surprising if anything happened here!"
Lin Zhongxiao put his hands behind his back and looked towards the deep mountains. This mountain is so huge! It’s really hard to describe!
He and his family believed in Zhao Gongming since he was a child. When he grew up, he went abroad to study and believed in atheism. However, over the years, he has increasingly felt that what his ancestors believed in might be true!
Take Daqingshan for example. There are more than one or two places that go against science. No one can figure out the ins and outs of it.
There were naughty monkeys in the trees throwing things at them. When the monkeys in the forest saw this, they were overjoyed.
"Hey, little monkey, do you still remember me?"
The little monkey grinned at him, waved at him, and jumped to another tree.
"Let's go! Keep up!" Lin Zhong took the lead and ran after the little monkey. Lin Zhongxiao and Qin Zhongyi followed closely behind.
The two biologists looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't they say they were going up the mountain to look for red fruits? Why were they playing with the little monkey?
"Let's go! Don't underestimate any of the animals and plants in the mountains. They might bring you surprises!" Technician Li explained to the two experts. "Hurry up, or you'll be left behind!"
He followed the little monkey into the deep mountains, and the monkeys did not disappoint him. There was a tree hole full of big monkey wine, and the aroma of the wine was charming.
"Hahahaha!" Lin Zhong put his hands on his hips, "We actually found the legendary monkey wine!"
The wine in this tree hole is not simple, it is the work of the space monkeys.
More than a dozen jars of wine were taken from the tree hollow. The biologist, conscientious in his duty, insisted on testing it before letting anyone drink it.
Lin Zhong was drooling with envy. On the other hand, Lin Zhongxiao agreed very much!
"Everything in this mountain is full of spiritual energy! Perhaps this monkey wine has some special effects as well? We must first abandon our appetite to prevent this good thing from being wasted!"
Since he said so, as his younger brother, Lin Zhong could only swallow his saliva.
Jiaojiao, on the other hand, kept making faces at him while eating. Lin Zhong had a hunch that something good was going to happen!
Sure enough, when I delivered something to Jiaojiao in the forest at night, Jiaojiao said she had a surprise for him!
"It's not monkey wine, but it's pretty good! We brew this fruit wine with mountain spring water. It's very effective in removing dampness and toxins!"
Lotus brought out a jar of wine and warned, "It's not much, don't let anyone see it!"
What a surprise! Lin Zhong sneaked back to the Lin family with the wine jar.
Lin Zhong and two other experts were staying at Lin Zhongxiao's house. At this time, the others were having some academic discussions in the house.
Lin Zhong was secretly delighted and his footsteps became lighter, hoping not to make any noise to disturb the people in the house.
However, Lin Zhongxiao was always thinking about him. Looking out from the house at this moment, the yard was pitch black, and a vague figure flashed by.
Lin Zhongxiao narrowed his eyes and asked, "In the forest? Come in!"
Unsuccessful in hiding, Lin Zhong could only carry the jar of wine into the house.
The two experts took a look and started to fight again.
Frightened, Lin Zhong hurriedly shouted, "This is the wine brewed by the villagers themselves!"
As soon as the wine jar was opened, a long, rich peach aroma wafted out. Several people took a deep breath and drank in unison, saying, "Good wine!"
Lin Zhidong was the youngest here, and was afraid that they would leave him behind, so he busied himself running around, getting bowls and pouring wine.
Peach wine is clear, fragrant, mellow and delicious. After taking a sip, a warm current slowly flows to every part of the body.
Lin Zhongxiao closed his eyes, and the others also closed their eyes at the same time, savoring it carefully.
“Good wine!”
They looked at each other again. As soon as they drank the wine, a warm current flowed throughout their bodies, bringing warmth wherever it went.
"This can be considered a medicinal wine!" Expert Chen Sai said, "Don't drink it, let me..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhong quickly drank the wine in the cup in one gulp! Then he reached for the wine jar.
