"Oh dear, it seems like something might really be wrong. You'd better be careful!"
Wan Fang was silent for a moment: "When will it happen?"
"I don't know, and I can't guess!"
Lu Yuan's words were indeed true, because he didn't know exactly what had happened. In his memory, he had never been to the underground fortress, so he knew nothing about what was happening inside.
After asking a few more questions, Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
Long San stood up and looked at the distant sky: "Is it really as you say, that the world is about to change?"
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly: "I can't guess, but let's be prepared. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't know what's going to happen. It might affect the entire Third District Fortress, or it might just be a false alarm!"
Long San was completely frightened by Lu Yuan's words. He barely managed to sit down in the chair and kept smoking.
Do I need to stockpile food?
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just guessing. I haven't gotten any concrete information yet. Just do what you need to do and don't let my guess affect your plans!"
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come here. You've ruined my mood. Sigh, it was supposed to be a good thing, but now that you've said that, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Oh well, I'll go back and check. I'm taking all the poultry and livestock with me!"
After saying that, Long San walked outside. Lu Yuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, watched the other's departing figure, his mind swirling with thoughts of him.
What exactly will happen?
Time flies, and another ten days have passed.
So far, nothing has happened, but Lin Tao's experimental project is progressing fairly well.
Through their layer-by-layer analysis and testing of the substances, they finally managed to analyze the genetic mechanism of the first red vine grass and successfully extracted one microgram of the drug from it.
"Sigh, Mr. Lu, we may need more for this experimental project. What we have in our lab may not be enough!"
Lin Tao's eyes were slightly bloodshot, but he was much better than before. Now that his mother's condition had improved significantly, he was focusing all his energy on the laboratory project.
Lu Yuan asked softly, "What do you need? I'll go buy it for you!"
"Some nuclear waste may be needed for catalysis!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan was stunned.
"What? You want nuclear waste? That's extremely dangerous stuff! What do you need it for?"
Lin Tao helplessly handed a booklet to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan casually picked it up and flipped through a few pages, only to find that it was full of professional terms and English words. Lu Yuan couldn't understand what was written on it at all.
"This is an analysis report on this plant and the extraction catalytic method. After our analysis, we found that this plant can extract more reagents under high-intensity radiation. Right now, we are using experimental-grade nuclear fuel. If we want to extract this catalyst from these plants in large quantities, we may need more nuclear waste!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan scratched his head in distress: "Oh my god, this is troublesome! It seems that all the nuclear waste has been recycled by the nuclear power plants! If we want to get our hands on it, we'll have to go to the nuclear power plants!"
Lin Tao knew the difficulty of this matter, so after a moment of silence, he said, "How about we just let it go and think of another way? But that might take longer!"
Lu Yuan looked up at the other person: "Is nuclear waste necessary?"
"Ideally, we'd have nuclear waste; otherwise, we'd have to start from a completely different angle, and that would take much longer than just a short time!"
"Sigh, alright, I'll think of a way for you. You guys continue with the research and extraction, I'll go get these nuclear wastes for you!"
Lin Tao nodded, then took his things back to the lab, while Lu Yuan got back into his car and began to ponder deeply.
"Oh right, I completely forgot about Ma Bin. Isn't he right there at the sweatshop? That's the closest place to the nuclear power plant!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan raised his hand to check the time. More than two months had passed since Ma Bin left, and there was still no news of him.
"Is Ma Bin dead? If so, that's a real problem!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan quickly drove towards the breeding farm.
Seeing Lu Yuan rush in, Xiao Shan was puzzled: "What's wrong? Did something happen? You look so nervous!"
"By the way, do you have the contact number for the power supply we used to provide to the lab last time?"
Xiao Shan nodded gently: "Yes, last time the lab needed a lot of power, so we negotiated with the nuclear power plant and paid a huge sum of money before they provided the electricity. Is there anything you need from them? Is it related to the lab?"
"Hmm, I guess I'll have to go see them again. Let's go check first; I need some things!"
Xiao Shan quickly opened the drawer, pulled out a business card, and handed it to Lu Yuan.
"This is the phone number for the nuclear power plant's power manager. His surname is Feng, you can just call him Manager Feng!"
