When Xiao Shan saw Lu Yuan again, her eyes were filled with tears. The lovers who had not seen each other for so long finally embraced each other.
After Xiaoshan and Lu Yuan talked about some recent work matters, Lu Yuan was surprised to find that Xiaoshan had become fascinated with plant science at some point.
Xiaoshan has now been officially accepted into the research institute and is an intern there. She is currently working with several mentors to research methods to increase the growth rate and seed quantity of cotton.
During their research, they successfully tackled the problem. Although the results were not particularly significant, each additional cotton boll on each cotton plant greatly increased the yield per acre.
Although it's just a small step forward, it shows that they have found the right approach. The next step is to gradually increase the yield of cotton.
"I never knew you were a hidden little scientist!"
Lu Yuan gently stroked Xiao Shan's head and said.
With a smile on her face, Xiao Shan said with great pride and self-satisfaction, "That's right. I've always been interested in these things, but because of work, I haven't had the opportunity to learn about them. I never expected that after getting into it, I would find that plant science is so interesting!"
As he spoke, he picked up the small culture vessel on the table and said, "Look, this is what I just developed. Although it's not quite up to par with my mentor's work, I still feel a great sense of accomplishment!"
Lu Yuan suddenly realized that the growth of only a dozen or so petri dishes was all Xiao Shan's doing. In such a short time, she had already mastered the basics, which meant she had obviously put in a lot of effort.
"You haven't been doing this all this time, have you? Just staying here every day and not going home at all?"
Xiao Shan scratched her head and sighed, saying, "Sigh, everyone at home is quite busy right now. My parents are here working with everyone on the road construction. They came along because the two roads need to be connected together. We can't help much in the process. My grandparents have also joined the logistics department. I'm the only one who doesn't know what to do, so I found this place. But I quite like it here!"
Lu Yuan nodded. It was already great that Xiao Shan had found something she liked. As for the results, Lu Yuan didn't care. After all, he had a dimensional space. With a dimensional space, his wife could do whatever she wanted!
One word: willful!
Regarding the cotton issue, Lu Yuan eventually found the relevant person in charge. Although Wu Tian was the captain of the research team, he didn't know much about plant research, so the main work was handled by several other researchers.
The group sat in the spacious conference room, where a projector displayed videos, photos, and statistical data from their recent experiments.
Liu Nan coughed lightly, adjusted his glasses, and then picked up a wooden stick, pointing at the projector. He said, "These are the first batch of cotton seeds we have developed. After improvement, these cotton seeds can now successfully increase yield by 30%."
If we want to further increase production, we would need to conduct second-generation or even more research. However, our current conditions do not allow for such extensive research due to time constraints. Therefore, 30% of the current production capacity is the limit we can achieve.
After listening, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. A 30% increase meant significant progress, and with continued improvement and research, production would definitely continue to rise.
Lu Yuan then looked at the data and asked, "So when will the second generation of cotton seeds be able to be cultivated? Is there a specific timeframe?"
Liu Nan looked at the computer in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "It may take another month or even longer. After all, although the growth rate of cotton has improved, we need to collect more data for comparison. Moreover, we are still exploring the genes of cotton seeds!"
"That's good. There's no rush. You can take your time with the research and get the first batch of seeds out first. We'll plant them as soon as possible. The weather is getting colder and colder. We really can't delay any longer, or people could die. Get to work on this as soon as possible!"
Wu Tian nodded to the side, then found several people in charge and asked them to carry out the breeding of the first generation of cotton seeds.
Two months later, the temperature dropped again, and many people died in this cold world because of the extreme cold, but most people still received the help they deserved.
Although the second generation of cotton seeds had already been harvested, and the research process was underway, what was originally expected to be completed in about a month unexpectedly encountered a serious bottleneck.
This time, Lu Yuan had to urge them repeatedly to cultivate the cotton seeds as soon as possible. However, the external environment was very harsh, and the cold weather greatly threatened the growth of the plants. Fortunately, Lu Yuan took timely remedial measures and built some greenhouses.
The temperature continued to drop, and the haze in the sky became even thicker. The volcano was spewing out large amounts of black volcanic ash every day, and a thick layer of it fell every day, covering many places in the base.
