Chapter 984: How many did you say? Four hundred thousand people!!
Li Mengxin knocked on Gu Yin's door with fruit and milk in hand.
"Come in!"
Pushing open the door, Li Mengxin saw Gu Yin typing on her computer at her desk.
"Are we going to stay up late again tonight?"
Gu Yin looked up and saw Li Mengxin walking in carrying some things. She smiled and said, "Mom, what brings you here? You shouldn't be staying up too late."
"Seeing that your light was still on, and remembering what you said tonight, I brought some fruit over."
Gu Yin stood up and took the fruit plate: "Let's organize the materials. Didn't the teacher ask me to write a book? I'm working on this. I need to finish it as soon as possible while I have some free time at home, otherwise I won't have time later."
Li Mengxin understood: "Then I won't sit down. You eat more fruit, and if you get hungry, just say so, and I'll get up and make you something to eat."
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "Okay, you go and rest."
After everyone left, Gu Yin ate some fruit and then asked 001 to find out the reference books on how to compile a book and what precautions to take.
Gu Yin organized all the experimental data from before. She turned the data into easy-to-understand examples, crossed out the data that couldn't be crossed out, and rewrote the data that couldn't be crossed out.
Fortunately, Wen Xin and Zhang Chengming did not make the process as simple as Gu Yin did on her own when they were organizing the materials. The two of them took very detailed notes, looked up information when they didn't understand something, and marked everything. That was good, otherwise Gu Yin would have had to do it all over again.
They worked on it all night, and by dawn, all the data was finally organized. Then they started writing it, which was a rather significant project.
After a week of hard work, Gu Yin had only finished half of it.
"It's much simpler to do experiments. This stuff is inhuman!" Gu Yin stopped all her book editing work, immediately packed her things, and boarded a private jet to head south.
Three hours later, Gu Yin got off the plane, got into the military vehicle that came to pick her up, and left the airport through a special passage.
This time, Gu Yin came alone. The Beijing authorities had originally arranged for someone to take her there, but Gu Yin didn't need it; someone picking her up at the airport was fine.
The people who came to pick her up were fully armed. Gu Yin didn't speak, and they didn't make a sound either. Seven or eight cars escorted Gu Yin to the military region.
The general from the Southern Theater Command came to greet her, waiting at the door, which made Gu Yin feel a little embarrassed.
"I've heard so much about you! Meeting you today, I didn't expect you to be even younger than I've seen on TV! Hello, Comrade Zhou, I am Comrade Zhang Huanan, the person in charge of the Southern Theater Command! Welcome!"
Gu Yin immediately extended her hand to shake his: "Hello, Chief Zhang! You're too kind!"
Zhang Huanan welcomed him inside: "Let's go in and talk! You've come all this way, thank you for your hard work. The team's canteen has prepared a lot of good food, just waiting for your arrival!"
"You're too kind!"
The group headed straight to the dining hall. This is a common Chinese custom: wherever they go, they exchange a few words first, then eat, and discuss everything at the dinner table.
There were quite a few people accompanying her this time, but Gu Yin didn't recognize any of them. They were all men, but Gu Yin wasn't intimidated at all.
"You're from the South, so you're considered a neighbor. The food I prepared is all local specialties. You'll probably have a hard time finding these in Beijing. Try it! You're not scared, are you?"
Zhang Huanan looked at the various insects on the table and felt a headache coming on. He wondered if this delicate little girl would eat these things, but these dishes were definitely the best-tasting and most popular dishes in their canteen!
Gu Yin picked up a cicada pupa with her chopsticks and put it directly into her mouth without even blinking.
A crisp, crunchy sound rang out, the aroma of pepper carrying a wealth of protein.
"What's there to be afraid of? When I was little, my brother and I often went to look for it, and Grandma would stir-fry it for me. It was so delicious! I haven't had it since I went to Beijing. It was so good! Incredibly fragrant!"
Seeing that she liked it, Zhang Huanan was also pleased: "I'm glad you like it! Come on, try this one too, bamboo worms, you should like that too! It would be even better if we had some wine, but you're a girl and a researcher, so milk will do!"
He figured if drinking made him lose his mind, those guys from Beijing would definitely come and gang up on him that very night! Milk would be safer!
Gu Yin really liked them; they were all childhood memories. After moving to Beijing, she hadn't eaten them again. Even the bamboo from the countryside was kept so well-maintained that it was free of insects, so she couldn't eat it even if she wanted to.
Everyone was satisfied to see that Gu Yin was enjoying her meal.
"I heard that the success rate of our current experiment in Beijing is 90%?"
After finishing the meal, it was time for the conversation.
Gu Yin took a sip of soup and smiled, "That's not how it works. Although 90% of people have superpowers, the remaining 10% are not failures either. Their bodies are just not suited to discovering their superpowers, but they can practice martial arts to improve their genes and reach the maximum potential of their physical functions. With special techniques, they are no different from those with superpowers. It's like students. You are good at Chinese, math, and English, and I am good at sports and arts. We can all go to university. As long as we study well, it's not certain who will be better than whom after graduation. We provide the conditions, but in the end, it still depends on their own efforts. Otherwise, it's all in vain."
"So, even without superpowers, you can still learn other things. What special techniques are you talking about?"
Gu Yin looked at the man and smiled, "Martial arts techniques can be considered physical attacks."
With a clear answer, everyone's worries finally subsided.
“We value every soldier equally, so I asked a lot of detailed questions. I hope you don’t mind,” Zhang Huanan said with a smile.
Gu Yin expressed her understanding: "That's good. By the way, where is the pharmaceutical factory? Have all the medicinal materials been delivered?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huanan put down his chopsticks: "For convenience, we cleared out a piece of land here in the military region and built a convenient factory in the shortest possible time. We also had the entrepreneurs help us purchase the equipment from abroad. The medicinal materials were all delivered a couple of days ago. Everything is ready. It's just that the soldiers from the neighboring provinces haven't all arrived yet, but that's okay. We'll make the medicine first, and they'll all be here by the day after tomorrow."
Gu Yin gave a thumbs up upon hearing this: "As expected of the Southern Theater Command, they really have money!"
Zhang Huanan smiled upon hearing this: "The common people are living well, and it's all thanks to them."
They are known for their wealth, and given the right conditions, they can be completely self-sufficient in all kinds of equipment.
"Then tomorrow morning, I'll go to the lab, make the medicine, and then get the factory back to work. How many people do you need to treat first?"
Gu Yin thought it would cost one or two thousand, or even three thousand, but the other party went all in!
Gu Yin: "...How many people?"
"Around 400,000 people."
