People who do scientific research are always interested in the unknown.
Although Chen An is a train conductor, he always maintains his passion for exploring everything.
At this time, beside the tree, Chen An asked: "Can we migrate smoothly if we have a stronger way of communicating?"
The old man said, "Of course. This isn't a forest, it's a city. This means they don't have many options; they can just move from tree to tree. But to ensure safety, we need ant engineers to explore and relay information back to the rear. At this point, the more powerful the communication method, the better. The evolution of the Tianwu people isn't very good, because we don't have strong communication abilities and must rely on tools."
Chen An nodded: "I agree with you, but my question is. Since ant colonies are mainly for migration, why don't they evolve for greater speed instead of information exchange?"
The old man frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I believe that safety is more important than speed. Only with sufficient information can we feel safe."
Chen An agreed with this and did the same.
Information is always important, especially in war.
But he has other opinions on the discussion of ant colonies.
"Could it be that they're simply influenced by the city? The environment can interfere with the evolution of organisms. If they were in the forest, they wouldn't necessarily have this structure."
The old man's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.
"Young people are so quick-witted. I've been studying here for hours, but I forgot about the environmental issues. It's true, the city is full of radiation, especially super-energy radiation. Ant colonies have a poor ability to withstand these risks and are easily affected by super-energy, evolving abilities that surpass their species' strength. What's your name, little brother?"
"Xia Zuo. What about you?"
"My name is Fan Yi, and I'm a biological researcher. If you're interested, we can continue our discussion. These ants must have other characteristics."
Since they were free anyway, Chen An and he continued their research.
At the same time, Chen An asked Fuyao to search for Fan Yi, wanting to know his specific identity.
It turned out to be a surprising discovery that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually the Minister of Science and Technology.
He has won numerous awards throughout his life, and the scientists he taught are spread across various star regions.
"I definitely can't win an argument with him. Fuyao, contact Abel and get the entire Biological Research Center to help me."
With the assistance of the research center, Chen An was able to continue the conversation with the old man and use various professional terms.
Fan Yi became more and more excited as they talked, and dragged Chen An to go to the research institute.
"It's boring just chatting like this. Let's catch some ants and do a detailed dissection in the lab. By the way, where are you as a researcher? Why haven't I seen you before?"
After boarding Fan Yi's spaceship, Chen An replied, "I am a star master, not a researcher."
"I see. It seems you have a talent for scientific research, but it's been buried."
The Ministry of Science and Technology is not far away, and we arrived at the headquarters building in a short while.
Fan Yi was in a hurry and called a few assistants to start the experiment.
"Minister Fan, I'm an outsider after all. Would it be inappropriate to go in like this?"
In fact, Chen An wanted to go back.
Fan Yi smiled and said, "I have the final say here, you don't have to worry about it. Let's go, just tell me if you have any needs."
This old man is not just doing research out of impulse, he is really committed to it.
Chen An accompanied him in the experiment, and had an in-depth communication with Fu Yao in his mind to analyze the current situation.
"Do I really need to join the military?"
[Joining the military will allow us to place more people there, and we'll have the opportunity to control more troops in the future.]
Chen An said, "Actually, even if I'm not in the military, it won't hinder Xiao Zhen and the others from getting promoted. And with my current qualifications, there's no chance of me getting promoted too high in the military, because I'm a Star Lord, not a commander. You can't let me go out and lead the troops into battle, right?"
"Master is right. We have enough passengers in the military. Whether you join the military or not won't have much impact. Considering the current situation, you can join the Ministry of Science and Technology."
"That's right. The train isn't short of resources or commanders, but rather technological research and development. Much of the technology from the Divine Witch Tribe is at a bottleneck. Perhaps we can use the Ministry of Science and Technology to achieve a technological breakthrough."
Many ideas appeared in Chen An's mind, which needed to be realized later.
After determining the future direction, he took the initiative and, with the entire Fuyao Technology standing behind him, proposed various astonishing conjectures to Fan Yi.
Fan Yi was extremely excited and even called the senior researchers who had already gone to bed to study all night.
The next morning, Fan Yi finally got the result.
"This ant is a super-powered mutant. Its genetic structure is extremely stable, without any defects caused by mutation. Based on various principles, we may be able to create a genetic drug to help the Tianwu people gain the ability to actively emit electromagnetic waves. However, success requires many experiments."
He relaxed and realized that he had kept Chen An busy all night.
"Sorry, I'm busy and can't stop. You should go back and rest first. I'll let you know if there are any results later. By the way, I'll give you access to the Ministry of Science and Technology. The Star Lord Conference is still half a month away, so you can come to my place during normal times."
Chen An left the Ministry of Science and Technology and returned home on the spaceship given by Fan Yi.
After that, he had nothing to do, so he went to the Ministry of Science and Technology almost every day and gradually became familiar with Fan Yi.
On the day before the Star Lord Conference began, Fan Yi said helplessly, "Ants are still ants after all. Their genetic structure is very different from that of the Celestial Witches. We simply cannot replicate this on human genes. This experiment has failed. But that's how scientific research works; failure is the norm."
Chen An comforted him and raised some new biological questions, which made Fan Yi very interested.
"Fuyao, you said the Biological Research Center was successful? Is our technology even more advanced than Xinggong's?"
"It's not that our technology is superior, but rather that we have more technology. The master may have overlooked a point: emitting electromagnetic waves for communication is a characteristic of many species, especially silicon-based creatures. This means we have more research data here, making it easier to achieve results."
[However, this genetic trait cannot be replicated in the Celestial Witches, nor is it necessary. Transcendents will gradually acquire the ability to communicate with electromagnetic waves, just like you can now.]
Fu Yao then sent out a piece of electromagnetic waves. Chen An received it carefully and found that he could indeed do a simple translation and did not need Fu Yao's assistance.
"I see. Let's leave it at that. Let's get the research center back to normal operations."
Chen An returned to the villa and soon received a call from Chu Xiao.
"I have good news for you. Minister Qin has allowed you to stay in the department and you don't have to go back. Do you want to know what position it is?"
Chen An asked calmly, "What position?"
"Military Affairs Inspector, a fourth-rank Star Envoy, is tasked with inspecting military expenditures in various districts. Starting from this position, your advancement will be rapid, and you'll have no problem reaching the second-rank Star Envoy within a hundred years."
Not only is the upgrade fast, but there is also a lot of benefits. Even the Chief of Military Affairs is afraid of the Inspector.
In other words, he can control Zhu Zhaofeng.
"Thank you, but I'll have to think about it."
"Okay, don't hesitate too much. There is no future for you if you stay in Xuanji Star."
