270 Jinjiang Exclusive
Autumn goes and winter comes, and spring comes again.
The icicles on the trees began to melt, and the white covering the mountains slowly faded, revealing their true colors. Soldiers in thick green uniforms cleared the snow from the base. After more than half a year of silence, the base slowly began to gain popularity.
Research staff at the underground research institute came out of the ground one after another. Even though the temperature was still very low, many people came out to breathe fresh air and see the scenery of the base.
The open platform at the top of the institute has found a new use. It was originally used by researchers to "get some fresh air." They sat or stood scattered around, chatting in groups of three or four with researchers they knew.
Their voices were not loud, but when they came together, they had a low buzzing sound.
Ye Zhizhi was also one of those who came out for some fresh air. She walked back and forth on the edge of the platform, looking outside.
Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong, who were sitting nearby and chatting, looked at him lovingly and smiled when they saw this.
"Bored, huh?"
Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong both knew that she liked freedom and didn't like being trapped in a corner. When they were in the underground research institute, they were worried about how to comfort her if she couldn't stay there. They thought of many words in advance, but they didn't expect that they would not use a single word.
Ye Zhizhi was more enduring than they had imagined. He could bury himself in the laboratory for a whole day without coming out. Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they started to worry that such long-term and high-intensity work would be bad for his health.
Although they often neglect sleep and eat, and often need their life assistants to remind them repeatedly to try to eat three meals a day on time and get enough sleep, they can't help but admonish their juniors when they do the same.
Ye Zhizhi is still young! Life is just about to begin, so don't overwork yourself. Not only did they provide her with a variety of nutritious meals, they also assigned her a personal assistant to remind her to sleep and eat on time.
Originally, as Ye Zhizhi had just joined the research institute, he was not expected to have a personal assistant so soon. But now he is the treasure of the institute. Not only does he have research talent, but his research progress is advancing by leaps and bounds.
It may take others three to five years to produce a result, or even longer than ten years, but in her hands, results emerge one after another as if they are free.
Not to mention that it can also give them a lot of things worth studying.
Ye Zhizhi looked back at Liang Rong and shook her head. She didn't feel bored.
When she was in the jungle, she stayed in one place during the rainy season and winter, even in the smaller caves. She didn't feel bored because she had something to do. She really admired these researchers; they were so patient, staying in this isolated research institute year-round, dedicating their entire lives to research.
Even now, just out for some fresh air, Ye Zhizhi's eyes sparkled with research data, sharing projects that didn't need to be kept secret. She hadn't been without results in the past six months. Even in the jungle's humble surroundings, she'd managed to come up with something, and now with all the equipment, it was even more powerful.
Ye Zhizhi is very sensitive to plants and can allocate the most appropriate proportions based on his feelings.
In just half a year, she extracted a special factor from plants that could accelerate the body's repair process. This was a very significant discovery that could heal wounds faster and without side effects. With further research, it would be shown to have a significant therapeutic and repairing effect on both knife wounds and burns.
After Ye Zhizhi learned more about these plants, he also understood why the three things mixed together had a greater effect.
The seemingly ordinary vine leaves actually contain an auxiliary universal factor. It is like two ordinary plants will become highly poisonous when mixed together. When this kind of vine leaves are mixed with other plants, they can "enhance" the efficacy of that plant.
The edible red fruit has no special effect. If you have to say it has any special effect, it is that it just neutralizes the smell of the plant, making it less irritating.
However, a substitute has not been found yet. If we want to produce a large number of medicines, we have to find raw materials from the jungle. However, with human capabilities, artificial factors can be produced in time.
It is the golden liquid she collected from the rhizomes, and her composition has not been figured out yet.
But Ye Zhizhi was not discouraged, as this was just the beginning.
Her research progress is already truly enviable; one can only admire her, not even feel jealous. She frequently produced research results while still a student, and now, with more professional research facilities and expert guidance at her fingertips, she's already produced a significant amount in just the past six months. One can only imagine how bright her future will be.
Liang Rong and Wu Gufeng were concerned about her mental state. At this time, a researcher wearing black-framed glasses came over and asked, "Zhizhi, are you going to the jungle this year?" He adjusted his glasses, looking quite embarrassed.
Ye Zhizhi's current persona is a researcher who is both civil and military, born with immense strength and trained in the army, so no one is surprised by her annual trips to the jungle.
Many young researchers still feel envious. In order to go to the jungle to find valuable plants, they have to train first and try not to be a drag before they are allowed to enter. Otherwise, they can only entrust mercenaries or soldiers.
However, most of the scientific researchers only lit up the research skills, not the martial arts skills. Every time they entered the base troops for training, they felt that life was worse than death. What was even more hateful was that after the training, their physical fitness was still not up to standard and they were still not allowed to enter the jungle.
Therefore, everyone admires Ye Zhizhi, who is proficient in both civil and military affairs.
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head, "What's wrong?"
"Could you please do me a favor? If you see cloud grass in the jungle, could you bring back some of the nearby plants? Of course, you don't have to go looking for them specifically. If you see any along the way, could you please bring some back?"
It seemed like this was the first time the researcher had asked for help like this. His face, neck, and ears were all red, as if smoke was about to come out.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and realized it was a small matter, so he nodded and said, "No problem."
The researchers who were listening intently saw Ye Zhizhi being so forthright and immediately rushed over, their tone very excited, "Zhizhi, and me too, I want to clean the hooks. If you see any on the way, can you pull a couple of them back with you?"
"And me..."
Liang Rong saw that the crowd was about to drown Ye Zhizhi, so she immediately came to her rescue. She said with a stern face, "Alright, each of you, find a mercenary group to go on a mission if you need one. Zhizhi is alone, how did she find so many things?"
The researchers were rather embarrassed. Hadn't they thought one more person would mean one more chance? They all knew the jungle was unique and dangerous, and even if they were tasked with a mission, there was no guarantee they would be able to bring it back.
"Zhizhi, don't force yourself! We just thought that if we happened to meet him on the road, he would bring him back for us."
"Yes, it doesn't matter if we didn't find it." They emphasized again and again, indicating that they did not mean to force it.
As far as they knew, Ye Zhizhi had entered the jungle two or three times and had come back unscathed, which showed that she was very powerful. It was said that all the soldiers and mercenaries in the entire base could not beat her!
Ye Zhizhi waved his hand and said generously: "Make a list of everything you want and send it to me. If I come across it on the road, I will bring it back."
"Zhizhi, you are so nice! So nice!"
"Let's sort it out right away!" Many researchers excitedly rushed together and started to summarize immediately.
The huge platform suddenly lost a lot of people.
Liang Rong said earnestly, "Some unreasonable requests should be rejected. Don't be shy." She was afraid that Ye Zhizhi didn't understand the ways of the world and that she would suffer.
Ye Zhizhi smiled brightly and nodded, "Senior, I understand."
She was not stupid, nor did she help with everything. These researchers were all doing it for research, and she did not sense any malice from them. She also got along well with them on a daily basis.
Ye Zhizhi had finally come to her senses. She felt that even if she could produce two or three research results a year, it wouldn't be as effective as the entire institute working together. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't match the collective strength of the group. So, she still supported other researchers' work, offering help whenever possible.
Of course, she would not help anyone who had ill intentions towards her.
Seeing that she understood what was going on, Liang Rong didn't say anything more, but only reminded her that safety was the most important thing.
Before Ye Zhizhi set off, he received a long list filled with the names of plants.
The base will compile all the plants collected in the jungle into a plant encyclopedia. If the plants do not exist outside, the institute will name them ourselves.
Every researcher who comes to this base knows the plant encyclopedia by heart, so when Ye Zhizhi sees a name on the list, the corresponding plant will appear in his mind.
Ye Zhizhi put away the list, then took his backpack and bag and set off alone.
This was Ye Zhizhi's decision. The more people there were, the more inconvenient it would be and it would hinder her speed.
After thinking about it, Ye Zhizhi and Qin Fei suggested that she go first. They agreed on a marking symbol and they just had to follow behind.
Criminals hiding in the jungle are rampant, they are not only to build a survival base for themselves, but also to get the resources in the jungle. The things in it are very valuable and worth their risk.
Explorers entering the jungle and some lone mercenaries are also their targets, and the most important thing is to capture them to explore the way. Once they are attacked, they are the first prey to be thrown out.
Ye Zhizhi has always cared about these bad guys.
She was also moved by the fact that Qin Fei and the others had maintained the same goal for many years. Apart from other things, their goal was the same.
The Ninth District has been cleaned up by Qin Fei and others for many years, but there are still some fish that slip through the net.
This jungle is so huge that it is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to the territory of a medium-sized country, and humans can only measure it on foot.
Ye Zhizhi sniffed the air in the jungle and wandered around District 9, finally finding a group of humans hiding in a hidden cave. Some humans would dig tunnels and living spaces underground, while others would find hidden caves and carve out even larger spaces within them.
Ye Zhizhi looked carefully and soon found one.
She marked the place and sneaked in. When she saw that it was a criminal den, she backed out.
The smell inside was suffocating.
These humans really do everything they can to cover up the human smell on themselves. Ye Zhizhi feels like his nose is not working.
