Xia He rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, there are more than a dozen cars here. You just take them away like that? Aren't you going to offer any kind of reward?"
"What do you mean? What kind of gesture do you want? Are you suggesting I unload all these goods here and then find another vehicle to take them away?"
Xia He immediately felt that the young man in front of her was really going too far.
"Sigh, I regret ever meeting you. Fine, you got the better deal this time, but don't do this again next time you're gathering intelligence!"
Lu Yuan hesitated, then said, "What you're saying is too ambiguous. What advantage have I taken from you? Don't worry, there won't be a next time!"
After returning home with the vehicles and supplies, and after a few days of rest, Lu Yuan packed up all the goods in the convoy. He then informed everyone of the move, and every household was busy moving their belongings.
On this day, Lu Yuan was found. Wu Tian, who was busy at work, waved his hand as a greeting when he saw Lu Yuan come in, and continued to focus his eyes on the microscope without turning his head.
"I said your research is still ongoing? You should take a break. Once you've finished packing up today, we'll set off tomorrow!" Lu Yuan said casually after looking around the items in the laboratory.
Wu Tian, without turning his head, said, "No, wait a little longer. How about the day after tomorrow? I'll be done in a while. We've discovered a rather interesting experiment. We found some ample data in the cells of these livestock. For example, the cells from these chickens can be combined with those from cattle and sheep for cell recombination and optimization. In this way, we can obtain even newer species, like cows with wings!"
As Lu Yuan imagined the long-winged cattle and sheep the other person was describing, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"You must be really bored. What's the point of these experiments?!"
"Of course it's meaningful! Think about it, if we follow these patterns, wouldn't we be able to get chickens and ducks as big as pigs, cows, and sheep? Then our problems of food and meat will be solved!"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan came up with a new term.
"Isn't this what everyone used to call genetically modified organisms?!"
“Yes, this is genetic modification. However, compared to genetic modification of plants, genetic modification of animals is more powerful and has more rules that can be changed. However, with more unpredictability, there may be greater risks. So we plan to continue this research!” Wu Tian finally put down the microscope in his hand, looked up at Lu Yuan and said.
Lu Yuan sighed, shook his head, and said, "Alright, we can continue working on this experiment when we get back. They're moving tomorrow, and this can't be delayed. Everyone's waiting. How can you expect hundreds of us to wait for just a few of you?"
"But... but things have just started to look promising. If we stop now, I'm afraid something might happen when we get there!"
Lu Yuan gently patted Wu Tian's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, nothing will change. You just need to record all this data. When we get to the new base in Jin Province, I'll get you anything you want. Let's put this matter on hold for now, and you should get some rest!"
Wu Tian then let out a long sigh, stretched, and his bones cracked and popped, clearly indicating that he hadn't been active for a long time.
The next morning, thick fog descended upon the world once again. The convoy, equipped with various searchlights, moved very slowly. The dense fog reduced visibility to less than 30 meters, so the convoy moved particularly slowly. In order to avoid losing track of other vehicles, the distance between each vehicle was kept at about 20 meters.
The speed was less than 40 miles per hour, which made the entire convoy move very slowly. Lu Yuan frowned as he watched the convoy's speed.
"Yuan Yuan, tell the lead car to see if they can increase the speed. At this rate, we're going too slow. It'll take forever to get to Shanxi Province!"
Yuan Yuan's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "There's nothing I can do, Mr. Lu. The fog ahead is just too thick. I don't know why, but it's thicker than usual today! We can't pick up any speed at all!"
Lu Yuan glanced out the window at the white expanse all around and could only sigh.
It took about a week to get here, but the return trip was even slower, taking about half a month to finally reach Shanxi Province. The bumpy ride made it impossible for anyone to get a proper rest, and some people even fell ill after arriving at their destination.
However, the good news for these people is that the low temperature has led to a sharp decrease in the number of bloodthirsty black beetles, and they are now basically no longer seen in the rain.
The work at the base was almost finished, but Lu Yuan kept telling the outside world that the base was still under construction. However, the greenhouses were all completed, which was Lu Yuan's most important location.
Lu Yuan gently lifted the tent flap of Experimental Field No. 1 and stepped inside, immediately greeted by a wave of warm air.
Several people were bending over to pollinate the newly sprouting rice. When they saw Lu Yuan come in, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly at the person, and then a middle-aged man walked up to Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, the second batch of grain we harvested today has already started to head!"
