Lu Yuan looked at his grandfather seriously and said, "Grandpa, what are you saying? I am now in charge of the entire base. If they have any problems, they can come at me. They won't do anything to our family. Besides, even if they really wanted to take action against me, they would have to have the ability to do so. I have the ability to support them and also the ability to fight back against them! You can rest assured!"
These were Lu's father and Xiaoshan's father, who were sitting to the side. They looked at each other and said to Lu Yuan, "How about this, the two of us will go with you tomorrow. That way, we can give you courage. If the people below dare to lay a hand on you, we can't be polite to them. Our Lu family has been kind to them, and they can't repay kindness with enmity!"
"Yes, if they want to lay a hand on my Wei family's son-in-law, they'd better think twice. I refuse to believe that these people, who have eaten our food, would dare to lay a hand on us. We can't let them be ungrateful! We can't tolerate them!"
Chen Bin nodded repeatedly and said, "President Lu, you have been kind to me. I will go with you tomorrow. Anyway, with Brother Zhou protecting the old man and the others, I will leave the matter to him. Moreover, I am good at managing the base. I believe that as long as I can persuade the ministers below, the others will not be a problem!"
Everyone shared their thoughts and opinions, and Lu Yuan was deeply moved after listening. He never expected that at this critical moment, everyone would still stand by his side and consider his feelings. His heart, which had become somewhat cold due to the changes in the world, was suddenly warmed.
Just as everyone was discussing, a shout suddenly came from afar.
"Mr. Lu, which tent are you in? I need to talk to you!"
Lu Yuan listened intently; the voice belonged to Wu Tian.
So he stepped out of the tent and looked out into the thick fog, where it was impossible to tell who was who. Lu Yuan could only shout loudly at the figures and wave.
After a while, Lu Yuan saw a person rush out of the thick fog. Wu Tian, wearing a white coat, adjusted his glasses and said with a look of surprise on his face, "President Lu, I've finally found you! I have some good news to tell you!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person and then led him into the tent.
Wu Tian looked at the people sitting in the tent with some surprise and then looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"I just had a short meeting and couldn't find you. I heard you were doing an experiment, so I didn't want to bother you. Now that you're here, tell me what good news you have!"
Lu Yuan didn't hide anything from Wu Tian, because that's just Wu Tian's personality. He would put in 200% effort on anything related to experiments, but he didn't care much about the management of the base. In fact, he would try to avoid things whenever possible. Lu Yuan originally planned to make him the head of the research institution, but he kept putting it off and had no intention of taking on this responsibility.
However, Wu Tian was very grateful for the various experimental equipment and research topics that Lu Yuan provided for him. After all, he was a person who couldn't sit still, and he would definitely be the most heartbroken one when research was assigned to him.
Wu Tian pulled a research report from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said, "I have discovered the secret of the genetic changes in our seeds! The first generation of these seeds grows five times faster than ordinary plants, the second generation grows four times faster, and so on, until the fifth generation, when they are just like ordinary plants!"
After hearing his words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. He already knew about this matter. The reason he handed the topic over to the other party was to prevent it from being too shocking.
After all, he didn't have a research team of his own. After Wu Tian came, he led the team to conduct research. He was the expert in this field. If he heard Lu Yuan say that he had researched these seeds, he would definitely ask questions until he got to the bottom of it. At that time, Lu Yuan would definitely make up a lot of things.
However, these lies were easily exposed in front of an expert like Wu Tian, so he simply said that the seeds were given to him by someone else, thus covering up the question of where they came from.
Fortunately, Wu Tian did not intend to delve deeper into this issue. Instead, after a period of research, he finally cracked the genetic code of this seed.
"Oh, I see," Lu Yuan said casually.
Hearing Lu Yuan's nonchalant reply with just a "two," Wu Tian felt a sense of defeat. He quickly grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and said, "Do you know what this means?"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't want to know why or what it meant. He just wanted to find a new piece of land as soon as possible and start large-scale planting to solve the food problem in the base. As for genetic codes and such, he wasn't interested.
Wu Tianyi looked at him with a disappointed expression: "Well then, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Once we get the genetic code of this plant, it means we can use these codes to modify the plant on a large scale. As long as we successfully modify their genes, we can even obtain plant seeds that grow at a rate five times or more faster than the plant itself. At that time, our food crisis may be solved!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan was not only somewhat taken aback, but he also looked at the bespectacled man in front of him in disbelief. He hadn't expected that after the man's explanation, Lu Yuan would discover something new.
