Chapter 1128: Do You Have Younger Siblings? (Two Chapters Combined)
The once bustling base fell silent once more.
Gu Yin also threw herself into the experiment again.
A month after Gu Yin submitted her application, a group of volunteers preparing for pregnancy were arranged by the higher authorities.
These people are all at the foot of Dabai Mountain.
They were all soldiers from various armies. After learning about the country's plan, many people signed up, but the number of places was limited, and only two thousand couples came.
Gu Yin went to Dabai Mountain from the base again, with Xiao Xiao accompanying her.
The child is almost four years old now. Although she hasn't started kindergarten yet, her knowledge hasn't fallen behind.
Professors may not teach preschoolers the knowledge they need, but high school and college students will. Even simple things are enough for a little girl to learn.
At such a young age, he has experienced and seen more than many people.
Gu Yin looked at the little kid bouncing around her and thought, "Well, thankfully, his natural instincts haven't been extinguished."
"Xiaoxiao, there are two chickens on the mountain that belong to our family. They can understand human speech. There is also a sable that is very friendly. Great-Grandpa Zhou and Great-Grandma Zhou are here too. When I'm busy with experiments, you can go and play with them."
"Chicken? Is it the same as a goose?"
Gu Yin understood what she meant and nodded: "That's right, just like the geese, they are our family."
"Okay!"
Once on the mountain bike, both sides of the road were lined with medicinal herb farmers, and there were many more young faces.
These young people look like students, and there are several of them next to each of the older herbalists. Are they training apprentices?
The higher you go, the fewer young people there are. However, as you go higher, there are no more old herbalists around the young people; they must have already completed their apprenticeships.
Half an hour later, the car stopped, and Gu Yin got out with Xiao Xiao.
The person had just landed.
The flapping sound of wings came from above!
"Anyone who dares to stand on my shoulders or head, or knock me to the ground, I'll boil water and stew them right now!"
"Gurgle!!!"
A whirlwind swept overhead, and two chickens landed in front of Gu Yin, followed by a sable that looked thinner.
"Coo coo!!!" Why are you being so fierce! You heartless bastard, leaving us here for so long!
Gu Yin silently tidied her wind-blown hair.
"You guys are eating too well. What's with all this energy? Have you laid any eggs lately? Is there anything edible? I haven't eaten in ages."
"...Hehe!!"
"Coo coo!!"
The two chickens crowed at Gu Yin for a while, then left.
"Chirp chirp?"
Xiao Diao looked at his two companions, then at Gu Yin, and finally decided to stand on the top side with Gu Yin.
The little sable walked up to Gu Yin, its big tail wagging back and forth, while Xiao Xiao watched with shining eyes!
Seeing her like this, Gu Yin picked her up, put her on the little ferret's back, and then put the little ferret's huge tail into her hand.
“This is my niece, Diao’er. Why don’t you play with her?”
Sable: "......???" It was all for nothing after all!!
But with the tail in the little cub's hands, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
"Squeak!" After saying that, she turned around and carefully carried the little cub in circles.
"Is this the little girl?"
Gu Yin turned around and saw that it was Duan Chunjie coming over. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."
"You've got some nerve."
As soon as I saw the little ferret, I dared to sit on its back.
Gu Yin chuckled: "That's because I've been at the base for a long time with Lan Yan. When Lan Yan is in wolf form, his aura is so strong that people who don't know him well don't dare to get close. Little Mink is so docile and fluffy, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Duan Chunjie nodded: "Then let's go to the meeting. There are people watching over us here, so don't worry."
Gu Yin nodded.
In the conference room, Duan Chunjie handed Gu Yin the report on the soldiers' performance in this training session.
"Take a look at the data after you left. Gu Ran has been following along, and there haven't been any major problems. The third batch has already entered the lakeside, and the fourth batch will be here soon."
Gu Yin looked through it for a while and nodded: "When the fourth batch comes out, we can arrange for them to be in groups of two to conduct live-fire exercises in mountainous forest areas. Call Lan Yan over here for me."
The data for these individuals has reached its peak, and we can proceed to the next phase.
The next stage is brain development, but the pace is still a bit slow. But there's no way around it; that's how research is.
"Have all these volunteers been arranged?"
"It's all arranged. As per your request, all the food is produced here in Dabai Mountain, and there will be occasional supplements. The best obstetrics department has also been arranged to provide full-process support."
Gu Yin nodded: "That's good. Let me see their medical examination data."
"These are all."
Blue Flame walked in when I was halfway through reading the documents.
He was a little surprised to see Gu Yin, after all, he had only just arrived from the base, and it was hard not to suspect that there was something wrong with his data.
Lan Yan snapped out of her thoughts and greeted them, "Hello, leaders."
"Please sit down."
Gu Yin looked up, put down the documents, and looked at Lan Yan: "How was it? Did you understand anything?"
Lan Yan shook her head: "Not yet, but when I was cultivating by the lake, I felt that the speed was quite fast, but I still have no clue about converting spiritual energy."
Gu Yin nodded: "No rush. Can you sense the wolves from here?"
There used to be wolves in the mountains, but after the army moved in, it seems like she hasn't seen them for a long time. She went to patrol the mountains several times before, but she didn't see any.
I don't know if they went deeper or hid.
However, the spiritual energy by the lake is so abundant that even if one hides, it shouldn't be too far away.
"I haven't paid attention to that. I've been by the lake the whole time, and I haven't gone to the other side."
Gu Yin understood: "Find some time to patrol the mountain. If there are wolves, communicate with them. During the actual combat training, have them create obstacles. If they agree, I can provide pills."
Blue Flame's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "That's a good idea!! Oh dear, why didn't I think of doing this back in the desert! They got off too easy!"
Gu Yin snorted: "Don't worry, Chi Xinghe and Chi Ye are there over there, they won't be able to slack off. By the way, Chief, do they know about Gu Ran's true form?"
Duan began observing a moment of silence for the soldiers during the Spring Festival.
"No, apart from a few of us high-ranking officials, no one else knows her identity. They just assume that she is from a special department, like Lan Yan."
Gu Yin smiled: "When it comes to actual combat, I'll also come and see, and arrange for Gu Ran to participate."
Cheng Dong worriedly asked, "Won't you ruin them by playing like this?"
Gu Ran hadn't seen the physical body of the woman during the Spring Festival, but Cheng Dong had. What if she was terrified?
Gu Yin snorted: "Hmph, if they can be scared out of their wits by this, then they should go back to farming. I told them long ago that there are still seven years left in the ten years. What they will face then will be far more terrifying than this. Once the situation gets out of control, all living beings will awaken. At that time, they won't even know how they died, let alone protect the people. Showing mercy in training is playing with their own lives. As long as they don't die, they should train to the death!"
Duan Chunjie nodded: "That's true. I'll study it later and figure out how to be more ruthless, since they all have superpowers."
"By the way, what's going on with those students on the mountainside?" Gu Yin asked Duan Chunjie, recalling the scene she had just witnessed.
"Oh, those are all outstanding graduates from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Your uncle asked your teacher to find some outstanding graduates to help here, right? I was thinking that there are only so many medicinal herb farmers, and there wouldn't be any more to find, but there's a huge shortage of medicinal herbs. It doesn't matter if the students of Traditional Chinese Medicine don't know how to grow them, but they know the herbs and their habits. They can learn faster than ordinary people, so we found them. You know, young people are really energetic, and they're working with great enthusiasm!"
That's really true; beginners are indeed quite enthusiastic.
"Okay, then there's no problem. I'll get back to work now."
After the meeting ended, Gu Yin went out and looked around but couldn't find Xiao Xiao. After asking around, she learned that Xiao Diao and the two chickens had taken her into the mountains.
There were people everywhere in the mountains, including soldiers training, so Gu Yin wasn't worried about her being in danger.
Besides, Xiao Xiao also has a defensive pendant left behind by her master, Jin Wanli.
Gu Yin asked Lan Yan to keep an eye on things when she went into the mountains, and then went into the laboratory.
All I do here is refine pills, so it's a perfect fit for my profession, though it's a bit of a regression to my ancestral ways.
Looking at the laboratory filled with Chinese herbal medicines, Gu Yin couldn't help but sigh.
"If I were in the cultivation world, I would definitely be the most skilled alchemist in the Medicine Sect! If you put me in the Qin Dynasty, I could even refine the elixir of immortality for my ancestor! What chance would that villain have?! Sigh!"
001: "...Or should I send it to you?"
Gu Yin's eyes lit up: "Really? The first world?"
"Ha, you're dreaming."
Gu Yin: "...You actually laughed at me! System, you've changed!"
"You got a message from the Medicine Sect, just take a look." 001 ignored her.
Gu Yin's eyes lit up; finally, a reply!
"We've waited so many years, if they didn't come soon I would have thought they were gone!"
001 nodded: "That's about it."
Gu frowned and opened the information panel.
"I apologize for the delay in replying to your message, young friend. Something happened in our sect, and I was injured and unconscious for a long time before finally waking up. I've already sent you what you requested, but I don't know if it's too late. Thank you for your concern. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. Our sect suffered a devastating calamity and is currently rebuilding. Senior Jin Wanli of the Xuanwu clan has returned our sect's sacred medicine, saying it was on your orders. On behalf of our sect, I thank you! With the sacred medicine, rebuilding our sect is only a matter of time!"
Gu Yin rummaged through the package. The contents were no longer useful to her at the moment, but she didn't mind having too much.
"It's good that you're alright. If you need any help from us, please don't hesitate to ask," Gu Yin replied.
They replied very quickly.
"I'll let you know if I need anything! Thank you again, young friend! I'm currently focused on rebuilding the Medicine Sect, and the task is quite demanding. I hope you'll forgive me for not having time to check messages!"
Since everyone was busy, Gu Yin didn't want to bother them any longer. After saying goodbye, Gu Yin sighed.
"As expected of the cultivation world, it's a dog-eat-dog world where entire families are wiped out at the drop of a hat. 001, when I'm doing my mission, please don't send me to the cultivation world in the first world! I'm afraid I won't survive two episodes, no, not even one. I'll be instantly killed as soon as I enter!"
"Don't worry, newbies have a protection period, they won't send you into the pros' games."
Gu Yin was relieved; that was good!
When that day finally came, she realized she had put her mind at ease a little too soon.
After spending two months in Dabai Mountain, one of the volunteers finally became pregnant.
"Currently, the data is very stable, the pregnant woman is not experiencing any discomfort, her body is still very healthy, and her mood has not been affected."
After Wenxin finished speaking, she brought up a small piece of data.
"Xiaoxiao's data back then seemed to be even lower than theirs."
Gu Yin also saw it: "It must be because of the Great White Mountain. There is spiritual energy everywhere here, and the food is also spiritual. It is normal to have these data."
Wen Xin raised her doubts upon hearing this: "If we want to achieve this level of data across the entire country, wouldn't everyone have to come to Dabai Mountain? That's unrealistic. Even if we replaced all the food in the country with the food from here, it still wouldn't work. There simply wouldn't be enough to go around. In the end, we'd still have to resort to making pills?"
Gu Yin understood everything, but where was true fairness?
"Before the spiritual energy has fully recovered, we can only let those who are trying to conceive take pills. Now that everyone has superpowers, with the help of pills, the gap won't be too big. This is the greatest fairness I can achieve. You have to know that when there is a battle, those who stand on the front line are warriors, and even these children will be warriors in the future. This is the treatment they deserve."
"Just like in these experiments, the volunteers are also warriors. If I were to recruit from the public, do you think anyone would come?"
"Yes, but very few. People who come are probably only doing so after weighing the pros and cons, or because they have no other choice. And there's a high chance you'll be complained about or scolded."
Gu Yin chuckled: "But these soldiers came as soon as they were told."
Gu Yin was never a good person in the true sense of the word. She also had selfish motives. Those who risked their lives to go to any front line always received her favor.
Within six months, more than half of the volunteers became pregnant.
The data for these people is very good.
People with genetic defects in their families can have their prenatal checkups done without any problems after their genes are improved.
All the data is showing a green light.
A year later, babies began to be born one after another.
Some children are even born with special abilities!
This was the most surprising thing for Gu Yin!
These gifted children are among the first to be revived! They were not created artificially; they were nurtured by nature!
At the meeting, Gu Yin gave the data to Duan Chunjie: "We can start promoting it now. The pills are made with precious medicinal materials and have no harmful effects on pregnant women. They can also reduce various adverse reactions during pregnancy and alleviate the pain of childbirth. Promoting it from these aspects will be a better starting point."
"We don't have enough pills, should we wait a little longer?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "If you promote it now, it will take at least one or two years before people believe it. There's no need to postpone it."
"These pills aren't difficult to make. Teacher, please have the students make them together. That way it will be faster. I won't stay any longer; the base is still waiting for me."
Cheng Dong nodded: "No problem. After leading it for so long, it's time to get the hang of it."
After arranging everything, Gu Yin found Xiao Xiao and smiled as she reached out her hand.
"Little one! Time to go home!"
Xiao Xiao slid off her aunt's chicken: "I miss Grandpa Jin too, I miss Uncle, I miss Aunt, I miss the housekeeper, and I miss my friends at the base..."
“We’re not going back to the base. We’re going home, back to Beijing,” Gu Yin interrupted her.
Xiao Xiao was stunned: "Back to Beijing? Not the base?"
"Yes! Go back to see your mom and dad! Aren't you happy!"
"Waaaaah!!! I can finally see my mom and dad?! Waaah, Auntie, is it really going back to Beijing?"
The little girl burst into tears, leaving Gu Yin stunned.
Gu Yin squatted down, hugged her, and gently comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. It's true. You won't have to leave Beijing anymore, and you won't have to leave your parents. You've suffered so much these past years."
This usually mischievous and cheerful little girl has actually been able to endure for so long!
I only cried when I left, and I haven't cried since. I haven't mentioned wanting to go home in all these years.
Gu Yin felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
"Um! Waaah, don't tell Mom and Dad yet, we have to surprise them. Waaah, Auntie, when are we going home? I'm so grown up now, will Mom and Dad forget me? Will they have a younger brother or sister? Waaah, even though I like younger brothers and sisters, I'm still a little worried. Waaah, Auntie, I'm not being stingy, I just miss Mom and Dad."
