Chapter 60 A Revolutionary Discovery
The meeting room was a flurry of activity, with people rapidly typing on keyboards, recording every detail on the screen.
Some people were taking pictures of the screen with their cameras, afraid of missing any moment.
They mostly discussed the details they discovered, their voices filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Lu Yuan quickly jotted down notes in his notebook, "Professor Gu, I'll contact the lab right now and have them prepare the cultivation environment in advance!"
Gu Zheng hummed in agreement, "The key to desert plants' drought resistance lies in their root system and resin secretion mechanism..."
"We must create the best possible cultivation room, strictly simulating the arid desert environment, and properly adjusting the temperature, humidity, and light."
"I understand, I'll pass the notification on right away."
Hearing their conversation, the others couldn't sit still any longer.
"Professor Gu, your base already has many, so please let us have this one!"
"That's right, our plant cultivation base also needs it."
"Our base has received approval from above, and the official document will be issued soon. At that time, our base will enter a state of high alert. We will unconditionally cooperate with all of Yuanyuan's actions and protect the supplies she brings back."
One sentence shut down everything the others wanted to say.
I didn't expect Gu Zheng to act so quickly. In such a short time, he even got the right to allocate resources.
"Xiao Gu, that's not fair of you!"
"Thanks to the country's interest, although we cannot take you out, you can join our base and conduct research together."
“…”
That's quite a clever scheme.
Having Yuanyuan, this precious gem, isn't enough; they also want to poach her right in front of everyone.
But these big shots just couldn't refuse.
The temptation is just too great.
Lu Yuan's smile stretched almost to his ears.
...
"Zoom in on the image so I can see the details of the resin and the leaf texture of the sapling. These are important research materials!"
The staff immediately set to work, and the image on the main screen instantly zoomed in, clearly showing the resin of the myrrh tree flowing down the trunk, the texture of the leaves, and the grit stuck to them.
"Look at the texture of this resin; it's sticky but not runny, and its color is amber..."
Pointing to the screen, Mr. He said excitedly, "In ancient times, people used this to make ointments. When wounds were inflamed or bumped, applying it could relieve pain and promote healing. It was more effective than some ointments available today!"
If we could figure out its components, we might be able to develop new drugs!
Old Chen also chimed in, adding, "Not only is it used for medicine, but it was also an important spice in ancient times, and only nobles could use it."
Moreover, its wood can be used to make utensils; it has a hard texture and is not easily rotten.
Unfortunately, it disappeared completely due to over-logging and desertification.
I never expected to see someone alive in another world.
Another professor put down his notebook and remarked, "This also shows that the ecological environment of another world may still retain its initial state, without being damaged by too much human activity."
This has immense reference value for our study of ancient ecosystems on Earth.
"Not only plants, but animals too!"
After these few days of observation, we have recorded no fewer than ten species that we have never seen before or that are extinct. I believe that with Yuanyuan's help, we will be able to find even more extinct species in the future.
The president of the Wildlife Conservation Alliance sighed with relief, "I always thought that many extinct species would never be seen again, but I never expected to have such an opportunity. Yuanyuan is truly a little lucky star sent by God!"
We must seize this opportunity to protect and nurture the species she brought back, allowing them to take root and flourish again on Earth.
"That's right. It would be even better if Yuanyuan could bring back the soil from the Beast World for us to study."
On the screen, Mo Jiu had already tucked Yuan Yuan under his arm and turned to leave.
Yuanyuan was lying on his arm, gesturing with her little hands, seemingly saying something, with a bright smile on her face.
"Look, Yuanyuan wants to find someone else!"
"This child has so much energy."
"That's good, though. Bringing back more plant species will be more helpful for the research."
The geologist, who had been working diligently with his head down, stopped and said, "I've already recorded the coordinates of the location. Maybe we can organize a team to explore that world sometime in the future."
"Well done."
The president of the animal protection alliance also spoke up: "I have already asked the team of zoologists to be prepared. No matter what animal Yuanyuan brings back, we can analyze and protect it immediately."
The atmosphere in the conference room grew increasingly heated. Just then, a young researcher in a white lab coat rushed in, panting, holding a tablet computer and looking utterly shocked.
"Professor Gu, the results of the wolf's hair analysis and the saliva analysis report for the snake are in!"
These words instantly silenced the noisy conference room, and everyone's eyes turned to the researcher, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Although they had their guesses, the sample analysis results were not yet available, so no one could say for sure.
The researcher strode to the main screen, connected the tablet to the display, and pulled up two reports:
"After gene sequencing and component analysis, the wolf cub's species has been confirmed. It is a Pleistocene white wolf that has been extinct for more than 10,000 years!"
This type of wolf was previously only found near the Arctic Circle. It was more robust than modern wolves, more resistant to cold and drought, and a top predator. I never imagined I'd see it in the deserts of another world!
"What?! A Pleistocene white wolf?!" The president jumped up, his eyes wide. "Isn't that a species from the same era as mammoths and saber-toothed tigers?!"
"The test report shows that its gene sequence matches the fossil genes in our database perfectly, without any deviation!"
The researcher stated definitively, "Moreover, this wolf cub is in excellent health, has no genetic diseases, and possesses remarkable vitality!"
Old Chen stroked his beard, his face full of amazement: "This is interesting!"
Extinct plants, Pleistocene species, and species that disappeared hundreds or thousands of years ago are all concentrated in this world!
This is absolutely a revolutionary discovery!
What kind of magical world is the Beast World?
Mr. He nodded and added, "This shows that the world's ecosystem may have always been in a relatively closed state, without being disturbed by the outside world, which is why these ancient species have been able to survive."
"And there's something even more amazing!"
The researcher swallowed hard, tapped the screen, and pulled up another report.
"Regarding that little snake, we analyzed the composition of its saliva and found that no fossil genes could match it."
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
If no match is found, it means the element never existed.
Species that do not exist...
"Didn't we previously speculate that it might be the legendary winged serpent?"
Lu Yuan subconsciously replied.
"Aren't winged serpents only found in myths and legends?"
"But the little snake does have wings. Have you ever seen a winged snake?"
Upon hearing this, the other big shots who had seen the little snake with wings fell silent.
