The next day, Lin Tao invited Lu Yuan's family and friends to his simple wedding. Although his family wanted to have a proper ceremony, Lin Tao and Zheng Wei declined everyone's invitations.
After all, the two of them were very shy people, and they really couldn't handle such a big scene.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan's family and friends were very good at creating a lively atmosphere, and the wedding was quite a fun event.
On the third day, the Red Vine Grass project officially started. To ensure the confidentiality of the laboratory, Lu Yuan specially mobilized all of Zhou Tong's veterans, and the entire laboratory was heavily guarded.
Lu Yuan put a lot of effort into starting this project.
"Brother Zhou Tong, the security of this project is entrusted to you! If any strangers enter, stop them immediately! Don't be careless!"
Zhou Tong nodded: "Don't worry! You can leave the safety of the experiments here to me! I guarantee not even a fly will get in!"
"Okay! That's good! By the way! I've prepared all the daily supplies! Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll figure something out!"
"Okay, no problem!"
After explaining everything, Lu Yuan began to count down the days.
The farm is now basically on track. Half a month later, the first batch of pigs, cattle and sheep will be officially sold. Long San should be the happiest person.
Seeing this batch of pigs, cattle, and sheep enter his slaughterhouse, Long San was so excited he almost cried.
"Damn it! After waiting for so long, the pigs, cows, and sheep from your farm are finally here! I've missed them so much!"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Is it really necessary! I sent you plenty of chickens, ducks, and geese before!"
Long San shook his head: "Sigh! You don't know! Ever since the grain rationing was implemented in the urban area, the meat supply has been increasing day by day! The higher-ups keep urging me to stock up, and I almost gave away all my savings! How can I not be excited!"
Regarding matters in the metropolitan area, Lu Yuan doesn't know much yet. Aside from occasionally getting some information from Wan Fang and Mi Tingting's occasional reports about the Flying Sky Organization, Lu Yuan isn't particularly concerned about the food situation.
"Oh? You can't even afford food in the city anymore? You've switched to eating meat?"
Long San nodded: "It's not that they've switched to eating meat! It's that everyone is now realizing the importance of stockpiling food, so they're hoarding all sorts of food in large quantities!"
Lu Yuan paused for a moment and then asked, "By the way! What's the attitude of the protein block manufacturers in the urban area right now?"
"What's the meaning?"
"We're openly stealing their business like this, and they haven't said a word. Does that mean they're not planning to take action against us now?"
Long San shook his head: "They're too busy taking care of themselves! How could they possibly attack you?"
"Even they are too busy to take care of themselves?"
Lu Yuan couldn't quite understand it.
Long San sat on a chair to the side, lit a cigarette, and said, "The production of protein blocks also requires a lot of energy. Now that even food is in short supply, it will trigger a series of chain reactions. Workers in the urban area are going on a major strike. They have to step up their production and stockpile large amounts of food to control the situation in the market!"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought for a long time: "By the way, do you know why they restrict the supply of food?"
Long San turned to look at Lu Yuan: "You seem to know more about this than I do. Everyone knows that the higher-ups said they were stepping up research and development, which is why they implemented food rationing. You should know about this!"
However, Lu Yuan rested his chin on his hand and gently shook his head: "I'm afraid things aren't that simple! If it's just the middle-level people requesting the urban area's laboratories to expedite some experimental projects, then why would the protein block manufacturers control their sales? Is it just because of some riots by the lower-level workers? This kind of thing has happened before, it happens every day, they should be very experienced!"
Long San was speechless after hearing Lu Yuan's words. He stared at Lu Yuan with wide eyes and asked, "Brother Lu, what do you mean? Don't scare me, something happened?"
Lu Yuan stood up, sighed, and shook his head slightly: "I'm not quite sure right now whether something has happened, but I need to make a few calls first!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan dialed Wan Fang's number, and the other party answered quickly.
"Is there any progress on that experimental project?"
"No, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you!"
Then, after looking at Long San, Lu Yuan continued, "It is said that the middle management has issued new research and development projects, and most laboratories are now following up on these projects. Do you know what these projects are about?"
After a moment of silence, Wan Fang said, "I've only heard about it. I'm not entirely sure what the specific research project is, but it seems to be about controlling the immune system of certain organisms! Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"I have a bad feeling, but I don't know why. Do you have anyone who can ask around for me? I want to know the specifics!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, the research projects in those labs are all top secret! If you don't participate in the research project, you won't be able to access their experimental content at all. Right now, all the labs are basically under martial law, and my lab gets several groups of people coming in almost every day!"
