After a period of rest, Xiao Yi's strength gradually returned. No longer as frail as before, his eyes lit up with renewed energy and curiosity. He began to engage with the people at the mobile base. Initially, he felt a little unsure how to approach the conversation, having just endured a life-or-death ordeal. But when he saw the friendly, gracious smiles of the people at the base, his concerns immediately dissipated. Xiao Yi cautiously approached an elderly man busy at work, bowed slightly, and politely said, "Hello, old man, I'd like to speak with you." The man paused, looked up, his eyes filled with kindness, and smiled, "Child, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask." Xiao Yi then encountered a group of young people engaged in a discussion. He mustered his courage and approached them, offering sincere words: "Everyone, I'm new here and don't understand a lot of things. Could you please tell me?" The young people turned and enthusiastically gathered around him, each one sharing a brief account of the base. Xiao Yi listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and raised his own questions and ideas. In the process of communication, he gradually integrated into this strange but warm group, as if he was originally a part of it.
As Xiao Yi interacted with the people at the base, he gradually noticed something unusual. He noticed that whenever the topic of mutants came up, their eyes would reveal a deep concentration and depth, which made him acutely aware that they possessed a remarkable understanding of mutants. As the conversation deepened, Xiao Yi was astonished to discover the depth of their research on mutants. They went beyond simple observation of their appearance and behavior, developing a systematic and comprehensive research system. They had dedicated laboratories equipped with advanced equipment to analyze the genetic makeup and physiological characteristics of mutants. Researchers were able to detail the evolutionary paths of mutants and their adaptations to various environments. Furthermore, the people were thoroughly knowledgeable about the ecological habits of the mutants. They knew exactly which mutants were solitary and which were gregarious; their feeding patterns, reproductive cycles, and even their complex social behaviors were thoroughly studied. As Xiao Yi listened, he was deeply moved. He hadn't expected such profound knowledge and specialized research to be hidden within this seemingly ordinary mobile base.
While exploring the mobile base, Xiao Yi met a scientist named Lin Na. Lin Na, her face serious but her eyes resolute, approached Xiao Yi, determined to share a significant discovery. In a quiet laboratory, Lin Na gazed intently at Xiao Yi and slowly began, "Xiao Yi, I want to tell you about our latest discovery." Xiao Yi immediately pricked up his ears, listening intently. Lin Na took a deep breath and continued, "After our team's tireless research and experiments, we've discovered a drug that may be able to inhibit mutations." Xiao Yi's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. Lin Na went on to explain, "In preliminary experiments, this drug has shown some inhibitory effect on mutant cells. However, there are still many uncertainties and issues that need to be addressed." Her brow furrowed slightly. "We need to conduct more experiments to determine the dosage, method of administration, and possible side effects. Furthermore, the drug's effectiveness for different types and stages of mutations needs further verification and refinement." Xiao Yi eagerly asked, "How long will it take to complete this work?" Lin Na shook her head gently. "It's hard to say. Scientific research is full of unknowns and challenges, and every step requires caution. But we won't give up and will do our utmost to speed up the process." Xiao Yi looked at Lin Na's determined eyes, a surge of admiration and anticipation welling up in his heart. He knew that this discovery might be the key to changing the world.
After hearing Lin Na's words, Xiao Yi's eyes sparked with a fierce light, like a flame of hope suddenly appearing in the darkness, burning brighter and brighter. He clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with excitement and determination. He looked directly into Lin Na's eyes and said firmly, "Lin Na, I see hope in this. I've decided to work with you. No matter how many obstacles there are, we will overcome this together!" Lin Na was stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile spread across her face. She nodded and said, "Okay, with you joining me, I believe our chances of success will be even greater." Xiao Yi immediately took action. He began to actively understand every detail of the experiment, poring over thick volumes of research materials, often spending entire days in the lab cluttered with equipment. He actively discussed experimental plans with Lin Na, offering his own ideas and insights. Even when faced with setbacks and obstacles, he never gave up. After an experiment failed, Xiao Yi looked at the mess of lab equipment on the floor without a trace of frustration. He encouraged Lin Na, who was also exhausted, saying, "This is only temporary. We will definitely find a solution." Together, they recalibrated their experimental strategies and continued to try new methods and formulas. Xiao Yi used his ingenuity to diligently identify details that might have been overlooked, while Lin Na, with her extensive experience and expertise, provided guidance for the research. Throughout countless days and nights of hard work, Xiao Yi maintained a high morale and unwavering faith, working hand in hand with Lin Na to steadily advance towards their goal of overcoming the challenges.
Determined to develop an antidote as quickly as possible, Xiao Yi and Lin Na plunged headfirst into arduous experiments. The lights in the lab seemed to never go out, witnessing their toil day and night. Every morning, while the rest of the base was still asleep, Xiao Yi and Lin Na would rush to the lab to begin a new day's work. Their eyes, bloodshot, remained focused on their instruments and data. The experimental process was fraught with setbacks and challenges. Trial after trial, failure after failure, yet their resolve remained unwavering. Sometimes, reactions went awry, and precious samples vanished in an instant. They could only silently endure the disappointment, then quickly adjust their minds and start over. Countless nights, under dim light, they repeatedly calculated complex chemical formulas and adjusted the proportions of various reagents. When tired, they rested at the bench; when hungry, they nibbled on some dry food and resumed their work. Once, to obtain a crucial piece of data, they toiled for over thirty hours straight. Their bodies were exhausted, but their spirits remained tense. Xiao Yi's hands trembled slightly from operating the instrument for a long time, and Lin Na's steps became a little unsteady, but neither of them stopped. Every failure in the experiment was like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts, but they encouraged and supported each other, firmly believing that as long as they persisted, they would succeed. During this difficult experimental process, their will was like steel, and they became more and more courageous with each setback.
