"Is this for real?! Sis! Sis! Is this for real?! Is this for real?! My WeChat Moments is flooded with this!!"
It was a Saturday, and Xu Minian was at home. Upon hearing this, he jumped three feet high, so excited that he almost fainted on the spot.
The family of three is making dumplings. The fillings are pork and celery, shrimp and seafood, and lamb and carrot. Xu Milu is filling the dumplings and Liu Hongmei is rolling out the wrappers. They work together very well.
"It should be true, right? How could an official announcement be false?"
When Xu Milu heard Zhang Cang repeatedly referring to "President Ren" and "President Ren's leadership" in the news, she couldn't help but secretly facepalm. She knew that this guy was probably nervous.
"This young man looks quite energetic. Da Mi, don't you often collaborate with that Honghe Research Institute? Is this young man married? Does he have a girlfriend? Do you know him?"
Liu Hongmei's focus is quite unusual.
"Mom, what are you thinking? He has a girlfriend who's helping him start his business."
Xu Milu was speechless. She never expected to be pressured to get married. According to Sun Wukong, she was still an immature phoenix cub, a baby.
"Sis! Never mind that for now, can you buy these seeds? You think you can, right?"
Xu Minian sidled up to him, his face full of flattery and fawning.
"Do your best on the exam. If you can get into the top ten in your grade in next month's monthly exam, I'll take you for a tour of the Honghe Research Institute's experimental fields."
Xu Milu calmly tapped the chubby boy's head, making dumplings while keeping an eye on the news.

"...Although fried dandelions cannot provide the basic nutrients that meat provides, tests have shown that they are rich in high-quality soy protein, which can meet the needs of obese people, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar. This is also the focus of our cultivation."
Zhang Cang's throat was getting dry from talking, so someone brought him a cup of hot tea. He quickly took a sip before continuing:
"Next, let me introduce our 'Small Toon Seed No. 2'. You may have already seen the news online, which says that the fruit of the small toon can promote hair growth, repair cells, and has all sorts of amazing effects. We want to clarify this here."
He paused for a moment, then clicked on a new page. On the other end of the live stream, a row of tall saplings were neatly planted in the ground, their feather-like leaves unfolding one after another. Between the emerald green leaves were purple berries, and staff in protective suits were carefully harvesting the berries.
"...Two months ago, the news circulating online that 'an octogenarian's hair grew two meters overnight' was completely misleading. First of all, the elderly man, whose name cannot be revealed, consumed too much fruit vinegar made from small Chinese toon fruit at once, which caused his hair to grow 1.4 to 1.5 meters long overnight. Currently, the elderly man is in good health and has no adverse reactions."
Research conducted by our company and scientists from the China Academy of Science and Technology has proven that the fruit of the Chinese toon tree contains a large number of antioxidants, which help combat free radicals that cause hair to turn gray and thin. It can moisturize and condition hair, restore its shine and elasticity, soothe scalp irritation, provide deep scalp cleansing, or stimulate the scalp to promote hair growth…”
The venue erupted in frenzy once again, and Chen Yuanyu's subsequent speech brought the press conference to a climax:
"Dear journalists, through the joint efforts of the Honghe Research Institute and the Chinese government, we have successfully cultivated the ancient Chinese plant 'Laurel No. 1' using lunar soil transplantation. Extensive research data shows that the leaves and branches of 'Laurel No. 1' are rich in paclitaxel-like components and diterpenoid alkaloids with anticancer activity. Chinese scientists predict that it will become a key focus of anticancer and antitumor research worldwide in the second half of this century."
Anti-cancer?
Anti-tumor?
An eerie silence fell over the entire venue, and a layer of fervor appeared in everyone's eyes.
Despite the advancements in modern medical technology, cancer and tumors remain two major challenges that humanity has yet to overcome. Some have even boldly speculated that if humanity could conquer these two incurable diseases, it would usher in a new era of longevity.
After a long silence, a sudden uproar erupted as countless microphones were eagerly thrust to the front of the stage. Elegantly dressed female reporters disregarded their image and desperately tried to interview Chen Yuanyu, while blonde, blue-eyed foreign reporters hastily abandoned their translators and shouted out their interview questions in their native languages. For the first time, the Great Hall of the People descended into utter madness.
As the press conference ended, the "China conspiracy theory" and the "China technology theory" became even more rampant. This time, the whole world understands that China is no longer the China of the past.
...
...
Holy crap!!! That's awesome!!
Li Ning's phone fell to the ground, nearly shattering the screen. The next second, he immediately messaged all his friends, wanting to announce it to the whole world:
"Quick, go watch the Honghe Research Institute's press conference!! It's absolutely amazing!!"
"Quickly switch to the news channel! Yes, you can watch it on Bilibili too, it's live!! Go watch it now!! Our China is really going to take off this time!!"
"Fengzi, what are you doing? What are you playing games for! Hurry up and watch the Honghe press conference!! Really! You have to believe me!!"
At the same time, countless Chinese people were also paying attention to this press conference and expressed the same shock.
...
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!! Is this for real?! Is the era of everyone cultivating immortality here?! Fried chicken growing in the ground!! Is this thing even real?"
"Wow! Anti-cancer and anti-tumor! This thing is amazing!"
"Holy crap!! I thought plant-based eggs were unscientific enough, but who knew there were even more unscientific things out there! How on earth did they come up with this?!"
