Chapter 338 How to be proud
The monkey led Bai Yaoyao and the civet cat along a winding bluestone path to the mountainside.
"This is?"
Bai Yaoyao looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise. She hadn't noticed it when she was looking up from the foot of the mountain just now, but now that she was deeper into it, she discovered the difference between the mountainside and the foot of the mountain.
The maple trees here have become incredibly tall, requiring at least two or three people to hug each tree, and their height has reached hundreds of meters. Even the maple leaves have become enormous, with one leaf being as big as the palms of at least four or five adults.
Under the shade of these tall maple trees, a row of white cottages stood quietly among them, completely covered by the leaves above, and nothing unusual could be seen from the outside.
Bai Yaoyao and Lingmao were both stunned when they saw this scene, but with their intelligence, they quickly guessed what happened.
“I didn’t expect that just that little bit of spiritual energy could cause these maple trees to undergo such a dramatic change!”
Bai Yaoyao looked around expectantly and murmured in a low voice, "I am now looking forward to what this Wumeng Mountain will look like if all the spiritual soil I brought back this time is piled here!"
The spirit cat next to him also took the initiative to speak at this time, which was very rare. "Although the spiritual energy here is so thin that it can be almost ignored, if we give us some more time, this place will sooner or later become like those spiritual mountains in the Hongmeng Immortal Realm!"
"That's right!" The words of the spirit cat made Bai Yaoyao ambitious, and she said loudly, "Sooner or later, we will recreate the grand scenes of the immortal gates in those TV novels!"
The two women smiled at each other, and the monkey next to them also looked at them with a smile, but there was a hint of hidden bitterness and regret in the depths of his eyes.
How great it would be if he also had spiritual roots...
However, Monkey soon suppressed the complex emotions in his eyes and returned to his previous heartless appearance, "Miss Bai, Civet Cat, Academician Su Li and the others should be over at the experimental field. I'll take you there."
The three of them walked up along the path on the right side of the white house for about 100 meters and came to a small open area, which was where the experimental field was located.
Because it is located on the mountainside, the experimental field has been developed into a terraced field.
The terraces are carefully planned into several areas, each of which is distinguished by signboards of different colors.
The closest to the three people was a row of green saplings, about two meters tall. Bai Yaoyao looked at them waving in the wind and full of vitality and exclaimed in surprise, "Elf fruit trees! Academician Su actually grew them alive!"
"Of course! With this spiritual soil, we have successfully grown all the crops you brought back before!"
A clear voice came from the side. It was Su Li and others who saw the three people and quickly finished their work and rushed over.
Bai Yaoyao raised her head and said in surprise, "Academician Su! Long time no see!"
Su Li was also very happy to see Bai Yaoyao, the light in her eyes was as bright as stars. She wiped her hands lightly on her white robe and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Bai Yaoyao.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yaoyao dodged it and stretched out her arms to hug Su Li.
"Ouch! I'm covered in mud, and your clothes will get dirty!" Su Li tried to hide with a smile, but failed. She could only hug Bai Yaoyao back, feeling helpless.
Bai Yaoyao let go of Su Li with a smile. She liked Academician Su Li very much because of his straightforward personality and his dedication to plant research!
Moreover, because most of the things brought back from Azeroth were plants, she and Su Li were the people she interacted with the most, apart from Academician Cheng Mian.
Seeing each other at this time, I am naturally filled with joy.
"Come on, come on! I'll show you around here!" Su Li's face was full of enthusiasm to show off her treasures. She took a few people and started walking inside, introducing them to everyone as she walked.
"The ones planted in the circle below are elven fruit tree seedlings. The seedlings you brought back at the beginning died a long time ago. These are the ones we exchanged back at the elven market. With the spiritual soil, they are growing pretty fast! I just don't know if they will bear fruit. I guess we won't know until next year at the earliest."
"The circle above is pine trees. The pine cones you brought back earlier are very popular in the market because they can improve intelligence. I heard that all the pine cones in Sunset Forest have been contracted by us, and the supply has always been in short supply, so we asked the elves to help collect some pine seedlings to see if we can reduce their supply pressure."
"This small patch is sunflowers. We originally had no plan to cultivate them, but the poisonous star worms some time ago caused the physical fitness of the entire population to decline, especially those who were poisoned before. Almost all of them had nodules in their lungs and were prone to colds and coughs. Then Academician Cheng Mian and his colleagues found that the sunflowers' lung-moistening and cough-relieving effects, as well as their heat-clearing and throat-clearing effects, had very significant therapeutic effects on these symptoms, so they forced us to plant some."
At this point, Su Li paused and smiled at Bai Yaoyao and the others, "By the way, do you know which department in our country is the busiest right now?"
Bai Yaoyao didn't expect Su Li to be interested in keeping the secret, so she guessed with great amusement, "Huazhong University of Science and Technology! It's either your side or Academician Cheng Mian's side!"
"Haha! No!" Su Li smiled and shook her head. "Although Academician Cheng and I are both very busy, we are also doing things step by step. After all, plant cultivation and scientific research are not things that can be achieved overnight."
Bai Yaoyao asked doubtfully: "What is that?"
Su Li: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
"Ah?" Bai Yaoyao exclaimed in surprise, and even the civet cat next to her frowned slightly, obviously not expecting it to be them.
However, the monkey next to him seemed to remember something, and secretly lowered his head and smiled.
Su Li smiled and said, "Remember the previous poisonous star worm incident?"
Seeing the two nod, Su Li continued, "Last time, the poisonous star worms not only affected China, but also other countries outside. Later, we developed the Qingling antidote that can remove the toxicity. At that time, various countries went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest every day. They worked with the Health Bureau for a long time before they allocated the export quotas for these antidotes.
Who knew that Academician Cheng and his team, in order to restore the health of the Chinese people, developed a Chinese patent medicine using sunflower as raw material, Xiangri Qingfei Sanjie Pills. This medicine had just passed clinical trials and had not yet been officially launched in China, but those foreigners got the news from somewhere and learned that this medicine could completely eliminate lung nodules, so they started to make trouble with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again, demanding import!
Now the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies abroad are extremely annoyed every day. On the one hand, they have to deal with these international friends who want to buy medicine with money, and on the other hand, they have to beg the Health Bureau to quickly implement the export conditions of Xiangri Qingfei Sanjie Pills. They are so busy that they are exhausted! "
At the end, Su Li actually laughed with glee.
Bai Yaoyao and the others simultaneously turned their eyes to the small patch of clusters of red and orange sunflowers, with a sense of pride on their faces.
