In just twenty minutes, the indoor temperature changed from minus five degrees to plus twenty degrees.
"Wow, is it really that amazing? If we plant a couple indoors, we won't even need to light the fireplace." Ye Ning's jaw almost dropped in astonishment.
If that were really possible, it would solve a huge problem, at least saving a lot of fuel consumption.
"By the way! Will it produce any harmful gases?" Xiao Jingchen added from the side. After all, it was a mutated plant, and anything was possible.
"Its photosynthesis is more than 10 times that of ordinary plants. During the day, it absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, and at night it absorbs oxygen and produces carbon dioxide," Lei Siming added, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses.
"Then it's not really suitable to keep it indoors at night," Ye Ning said with a hint of regret, "too much carbon dioxide can cause suffocation and death."
"Actually, that's not necessarily true. After all, most of the people in our shelter are people with superpowers, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Xiao Jingchen didn't think so.
"But there is a certain risk involved. We still don't know exactly how fast it photosynthesizes." Ye Ning was still unwilling to take the risk.
"Moreover, Professor Chen and I discovered that wherever it is planted, the temperature within a 3.5-meter diameter area will reach at least 15 degrees Celsius." Lei Siming said this with great excitement.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen did not immediately realize the meaning of those words.
"This means we can plant plants outdoors, as long as they are three meters away from its diameter," Lei Siming quickly added when Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen didn't understand.
"That's great, Xiao Lei. How many more mutated seeds like this are there?" Ye Ning was worried about not having a way to replenish her food in the long term.
"It's a pity there are only ten in total," Lei Siming said with regret.
"Uh!" Ye Ning was speechless. She thought there would be at least one packet of seeds. Ten seeds were simply not enough.
“However, I can cultivate it in other ways.” Lei Siming is a top student in biology, and with Professor Chen and the others, cultivating it shouldn’t be difficult.
"Xiao Lei! Can't you just say everything at once?" Ye Ning couldn't help but complain.
"I was going to say it all at once! But you didn't give me the chance!" Lei Siming said innocently. He just spoke slowly, which is why people always thought he had finished speaking.
"Uh! Okay! Never mind what I said!" For Lei Siming, whose mind is full of research and data, this was indeed too difficult for him.
Ye Ning remembered that in her previous life, Lei Siming's reason for giving food to her and Xiao Jingchen was that even if he survived alone, he wouldn't know how to live.
Regardless of the circumstances, Lei Siming sacrificed himself for Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen in his past life.
"Alright! I'll leave the cultivation to you. We'll figure out a plan for transplantation later," Ye Ning decided.
For a moment, Ye Ning had a fantasy: if this world were filled with these mutated fruit trees, would it pull the world back from its extreme cold? But she quickly realized she was being too far-fetched.
"Okay! We'll make the most of this time to study it!" Lei Siming carefully picked up the sapling and walked outside, where Professor Chen and the others were already waiting.
"Oh, right! Xiao Lei, there's one more question!" Ye Ning suddenly called out to Lei Siming.
"What's wrong, Sister Ye Ning?" Lei Siming asked, puzzled.
Will this tree bear oranges when it grows up?
Lei Siming was surprised by Ye Ning's sudden remark, "This... should be fine!"
"That's good!" Ye Ning nodded seriously. Then she would have fresh oranges to eat, which was a win-win situation.
After Lei Siming and the others left, Ye Ning yawned and lay down on the sofa.
"Xiao Lei is really something, coming so early. Couldn't he have come later?"
“That’s just how he is, you know that!” Xiao Jingchen sat down next to Ye Ning.
"If Xiao Lei can really cultivate a large number of mutated fruit trees, that would really solve a big problem." Ye Ning lay down on Xiao Jingchen's lap.
"I'm so sleepy, but I can't fall asleep!" Ye Ning said coquettishly.
"Then let's have breakfast first!" Ye Ning took out soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns from her spatial storage.
Lately, Wang Ma has been making either seafood porridge or seafood fried rice every morning.
Although Ye Ning especially loves seafood, she got a little tired of eating it for several days in a row.
Although the Ye family is wealthy, they have a very traditional lifestyle, so Ye Ning has been accustomed to traditional breakfasts since childhood.
"Jingchen, where has Uncle Yun gone lately!" Ye Ning suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Uncle Yun for quite some time. She remembered that Uncle Yun was still at the base before, but now there was no news of him at all.
"Uncle Yun went to H country!" Xiao Jingchen said casually.
"Why did he suddenly go to H country? Did something happen to the Xiao family?" Ye Ning couldn't help but ask.
"The Xiao family has indeed encountered some trouble recently, but Uncle Yun's trip there has little to do with the Xiao family's affairs. The main reason is that there have been significant changes in the Federation recently." As long as the Xiao family doesn't affect his interests, he won't bother with them.
"The Federation?" Ye Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's just a change of power, nothing major, but I'm worried that someone might try to interfere in City A," Xiao Jingchen explained.
"They actually went so far as to extend their reach into City A." Ye Ning's eyes widened.
"Isn't Li Churan from H country?" Xiao Jingchen felt a little uncomfortable when Li Churan was mentioned.
"I heard that Li Churan's influence over there is growing quite rapidly." Although Li Churan's character isn't great, his abilities are still recognized by many people.
"Things are definitely moving quite fast, but I heard he's been rather cold towards his second wife. They've already moved out and are living separately now," Ye Ning said with a gossipy look.
"How did you know about such a private matter?" Xiao Jingchen's jealousy began to spread again.
"Hu Tianxia told me. He's really well-informed." Hu Tianxia was the former head of the detective agency. It was he who gave Li Churan the dirt on Lin Mengru.
“I vaguely remember Hu Tianxia. Where is he now?” Xiao Jingchen asked.
"He's now at Xinyuan Group, where he's risen to a mid-level management position. I've heard that there's been a lot of internal strife at Xinyuan Group lately."
“He’s quite capable.” From the first time Xiao Jingchen met Hu Tianxia, he felt that this person was definitely not simple.
"So sleepy!" Ye Ning yawned again. "I'm going to take another nap."
