In a sterile laboratory in Beijing, all non-staff members have been cleared out, and security remains tight. Xu Jianan and Li Rui always remember to stay close to Xu Milu so that they can shield her from attacks in time.
Inside the sterile seawater tank prepared at Xu Milu's request, a hundred piglets, no bigger than a fist, were swimming carefree, completely unaware that they had entered a different world.
The Lolo piglets are completely different from the mature Lolo pigs, but you can still vaguely see that their appearance is similar to the large white pigs on Earth, with round bellies and fan-shaped ears, only several times smaller.
The researchers in charge of the liaison were all very curious, crowding around the seawater tank, constantly observing the piglets' movements, and had even numbered the piglets from one to one hundred.
An elderly academician, afraid that his movements would frighten the piglets, held his breath and observed them for a long time, clearly enamored with them.
“Great, these are all good things. When I was a kid, being able to eat a bite of meat was like celebrating the New Year. When I was a kid, I was so hungry that I would run to the house of someone who slaughtered a pig and beg for food. I got a piece of pigskin to rub on the pot when I got home, and my mother cried and scolded me... And this rice, this is also good stuff. With this, no one will starve to death anymore—good stuff.”
The old academician kept touching the fish tank, his eyes glistening with tears. This kind of bitterness is something that people who have never experienced hunger cannot understand.

The seeds of the rice and coconut are more like miniature kiwis, no bigger than a thumb, but tender green buds have already sprouted, standing upright in the sterile box, which is satisfying to look at.
"I never imagined that there would be pigs that can live in water. These piglets will be airlifted to our laboratory for cultivation as soon as possible, and then introduced for testing. The rice, coconut, and climbing vine strawberry seedlings will be sent to the Agricultural University. We have established a research project with the Agricultural University. After all, before new varieties can be promoted and applied, they need to undergo large-scale trials and demonstrations, as well as various tests and evaluations. After the harvest, we will send 20% of the ingredients to the Honghe Research Institute as agreed."
Chen Yuanyu led Xu Milu to a warehouse and opened the sensor door. Inside, there were piles of jade raw materials of different sizes and shapes. To make it easier for Xu Milu to inspect the goods, all the jade had been taken out and placed together. As soon as the door opened, the view was filled with green treasure.
Xu Milu swallowed slightly.
There's a difference between "having money" and "being very rich." Although the money in her bank account had already made her a billionaire, she had never seen so many top-quality jadeite piled up in the warehouse like it was free.
As expected of the nation's father, the jade chosen for payment is all top-grade jadeite. Even though Xu Milu doesn't understand jade, she knows that the more glass-like the jade is, the more valuable it is.
"There's also a 5,000-pound meteorite. The meteorite's mass is greater than the jade, and there aren't many meteorite resources in China, so..."
Chen Yuanyu smiled but did not reveal that it was actually the Chinese government that intentionally controlled the number of meteorites delivered.
After all, meteorites, like jade, are non-renewable. For long-term benefits and sustainable development, the government has begun to stockpile large quantities of meteorites and jade resources from both domestic and international sources.
Although China is doing its best to conceal the existence of "Ren Honghe", as the interests grow, the probing from countries around the world will only increase. They cannot guarantee that "Ren Honghe" will only cooperate with the Chinese government in the long run, so long-term consideration is the rational approach.
Xu Milu nodded, walked around the entire warehouse, and the system notifications kept ringing in her ears:
[Secondary energy source discovered. Should we choose to recharge?]
[Secondary energy source discovered. Should we choose to recharge?]
[A low-level energy source has been discovered. Should we choose to recharge?]
【Discover……】
The same applies to meteorites; no dimensional fragments were found.
Xu Milu shook her head slightly, and Chen Yuanyu immediately understood what she meant. Although somewhat discouraged, he still smiled and said:
"It's alright, we'll find an advanced energy source sooner or later. By the way, Ms. Ren, I heard that the livestock area of the Honghe Research Institute has been completed. You must take me to visit it if you have the chance."
Is it covered?
Xu Milu was somewhat surprised and looked at Xu Jianan behind her, who immediately replied:
"Sir, the plane back to Sichuan and Chongqing is ready and can take off at any time."
Zhang Cang quickly chimed in obsequiously, "Boss, our company has its own private jet now! Let's go back to Sichuan and Chongqing together later!"
Xu Milu thought for a moment, then told Liu Hongmei that she was staying in Xingning Village today and no one would know if she didn't go back. She decided to stay a little longer and go back to Sichuan and Chongqing to put the new varieties in the system grid first.
What she showed to the officials was, of course, only a portion; she had a very fruitful trip to Pearl City.
Leaving aside the tens of thousands of mature Roro pigs and ten thousand Roro piglets she bought, as well as the milk bananas, climbing strawberries, giant tree broccoli, noodle-leg octopus, and rice and coconut seeds she purchased through the fishman's high strength, she has collected quite a few treasures left over in Pearl City.
When the Siren Clan moved away from Pearl City, there were many things they couldn't take with them. So she simply opened fifty new system slots in one go, including a pearl fountain that was over twenty meters long and could automatically cultivate pearls of various colors, a red coral tree that was over ten meters long, an enamel glass window inlaid with fist-sized gems, a huge clam shell bed that would glow at night, and she even dug up a fluorescent pearl pool that the Siren Clan used to cultivate their cubs.
—If she weren't afraid of hurting the lava whale while digging, Xu Milu would have even wanted to dig up a castle to bring back.
