Chapter 1074: Returning to the Capital
Gu Yin looked at everyone and waved her hand: "Sorry, something came up and I was delayed. Let's go back first and talk about it when we get back!"
"Yes, yes, go back first! You've all worked hard these past two weeks! Let's go back!" Noticing that they looked travel-worn and exhausted, except for Gu Yin and the others, Duan Chunjie quickly made way for them to go back.
Back at the base, Gu Yin looked at Bai Wuwen and the others: "You guys go get tested first, then wash up and get a good night's sleep. Don't worry about anything else, go."
Bai Wuwen and the others didn't mince words. After all, they had barely slept in the mountains, and even a quick nap required them to be on high alert. Half a month had been their limit, and now that they were out, their eyelids were practically drooping.
"Okay, if you can't hold on, go and rest too."
After completing all the tests and finding no problems, Gu Yin quickly took care of her personal matters and went to the conference room.
Everyone is already here.
"To make a long story short, I still have to do an experiment later."
Gu Yin briefly recounted what had happened along the way.
"That's how it is. The reason for the delay is that we found several more trees that could attack people on the other side of the lake. We were worried that other people might get into trouble if they entered the training area, so we conducted a thorough search. There is no danger in the short term."
Hearing Gu Yin's words, the group was not happy. Cheng Dong frowned: "There is no danger in the short term, which means that whether there will be danger in the future is unknown. No, it should be said that the time is uncertain. As long as that lake exists, this situation will not stop, and the danger will still exist."
"We can't expect you to patrol every now and then, can we? That's not a sustainable solution!"
Gu Yin nodded: "So, we need to improve and speed up. If one person can't beat them, then two people can. If two people can't do it, then team up. Commander, during the time I went into the mountains, did the soldiers test their limits?"
"Yes, most people can reach the location where the blue flame changes. It's not so easy to go any higher, but everyone is working hard and pushing their limits every day. Some people are already going up and it's effective, but the progress is a bit slow. It takes several days to go up only one or two meters. People can't even get into the mountains, let alone train. They can't compare to species that are born by the lake."
Gu Yin stood up upon hearing this: "I know about this. Give me their training data from the past few days, and I'll go to the lab first."
Gu Yin brought back a lot of plants and herbs, and with the help of a sable, she also captured a few animals to conduct a comparative experiment.
This experiment is a large project, mainly because there are too many variables and the data is updated from time to time. Gu Yin has to be rigorous and speed up the process.
She initially thought it was just a simple experiment, but it turned out to be like drug development. She traveled back and forth to the mountains several times over three months to determine the limits of human potential and to compare the growth rates of various species in nature with those of humans under the same conditions.
"In other words, only by training in areas previously covered by the lake can we catch up with half the growth rate of those plants and animals?"
Duan Chunjie held the lab report, his face full of solemnity.
Gu Yin nodded: "You know, humans need to eat, drink, rest, and nap. Animals and plants cultivate themselves even while they sleep. This is a gift from nature, which is normal. The difference between humans and them is that we have brains. As long as we are not lazy, we can catch up."
"Take pills?"
Hu Shanmin immediately brought up Gu Yin's elixir.
Gu Yin shook her head: "This time is different. I had an idea from those dead trees. It's survival of the fittest. Since they can absorb other low-level plants for their own use, can't we also absorb some species without intelligence? Just like my superpower. After experimenting, I found that it is possible."
Hu Shanmin scratched his head: "The problem is that your ability allows you to find food on your own, but theirs doesn't! Getting them to absorb and utilize external spiritual energy for their own use is another problem! We can't just resort to injections again, can we?"
Gu Yin smiled and took out a few books: "Here, I have some cultivation techniques here. Let them practice them on their own."
Everyone took it and began to look through it.
"This feels like an internal energy cultivation technique from a TV series. Did your master give it to you?" Hu Shanmin asked Gu Yin.
Gu Yin blinked: "That's right, it was given to me by my master. It was originally for me to use, but I didn't expect that everyone would be able to use it in the end."
Actually, that's not the case; she redeemed it from the system.
"Great! Ah Yin, you've done a great job again! I'll take it to them right now and let them learn it as soon as possible! With the previous training as a foundation, they shouldn't need a teacher to learn these, right?"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "No need. Just like other cultivation methods, you can comprehend them yourself and then experiment. In short, you just need to practice more. By the way, we also need to start planting the food we eat and the herbs as soon as possible. I will develop a nutrient solution to speed things up. This is a long-term battle, so we can't rush it, but we can't be slow either."
"Everything has been arranged. The workers are already waiting at the foot of the mountain, and the houses have just been built. We can start clearing the land in the next few days. The medicinal herbs have been well preserved. Everything is ready, just waiting for your word."
After taking the documents from Duan Chunjie, Gu Yin looked them over for a while and, finding no problems, nodded: "We can start construction now. By the way, I have to go back to Beijing to report on my work. Gu Ran and my brother are staying here. I'll take Chi Xing with me. If you have any questions, just contact them directly. If I can't handle it, I'll come back immediately."
Hearing that Gu Yin was going back to Beijing, Duan Chunjie slapped his thigh with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is the International Maritime and Aerospace Expo, held in Zhuhai. Do you want to go and take a look? Old Jin called me before and said that if you have time, you can go and take a look. At that time, you were still in the laboratory and hadn't come out yet, so I didn't tell you. Do you want to go?"
He then handed the invitation to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin glanced at the introduction; it was the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. Quite a few of the top 100 aerospace companies from abroad were participating, showcasing commercial and civilian products, drones, and more. Gu Yin hadn't paid much attention to these things in her previous life, but she had heard that they had closed deals worth tens of billions with oil-producing countries dressed in white. Going to take a look wouldn't hurt.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
After receiving the invitation, Gu Yin tidied up the documents, explained the details, and immediately took Chi Xing back to Beijing by private jet.
The two returned to Beijing without looking back at their home, and went straight to the Red House.
The former chief and other leaders frequently seen in the news were all there.
Gu Yin didn't waste any words. She sent them all the materials and then briefly explained the purpose and results of the experiment.
The dividing point, across the lake, the vanished tree.
