The scene fell into silence, Guo Qihua stared at the small but divine eyes, glanced at it, and said to Li Xiang: "Since there is amethyst here, Director Li shouldn't mind us studying it, right?" ”

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Wouldn't that make us look too unsympathetic." Come with me. After speaking, he took He Yiqing and Guo Qihua to their seed and seedling cultivation room.

As soon as Li Xiang opened the door, a purple curtain flowed out of the crack in the door like water, drowning the three of them in it.

At that moment, Guo Qihua and He Yiqing only felt as if the entire space and the whole earth came to life, and every qiē was full of surging vitality.

The vigorous breath of life quietly penetrated into the bodies of the two with the purple light, and for a while, the two of them only felt comfortable, and the fatigue and fatigue accumulated from years of hard research disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Guo Qihua and He Yiqing looked at each other a little surprised, and couldn't wait to break into the real room together.

The sight of the qi qi made both of them feel dumbfounded.

On the walls around the room, hundreds of energy converters are hung, constantly releasing pieces of purple light, enveloping the entire room, and piles of grain seeds and saplings are all dyed purple under the purple light, a dreamy and mysterious color.

"Director Li, who are you?" Guo Qihua couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Li Xiang said lightly: "We are using the power of amethyst to change the genes of these grain seeds and saplings and enhance their vitality, so that they can survive in a harsh environment like a desert." ”

"Is this what you're really working on in the desert?" He Yiqing asked.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Exactly! ”

"Turning a desert into fertile land sounds like a bit of a fantasy?" Guo Qihua said with some unacceptability.

"It's definitely not a fantasy! We have overcome all the technical difficulties so far, and we have even successfully planted hundreds of genetically modified saplings in the desert. I can tell you responsibly, those saplings are growing very well! ”

Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Is this really possible? It's kind of incredible. Guo Qihua muttered.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "Isn't the charm of science precisely to make the impossible possible?" I think it's this motivation that has led these two to dedicate their lives to science, right? ”

Guo Qihua smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it seems that I am too subjective." ”

He Yiqing suddenly frowned and said, "Listen to what you mean, the reason why these saplings can survive in the desert. It's because they've been genetically altered by the power of this amethyst. Boosted vitality? ”

Li Xiang said: "Yes, is there any problem?" ”

He Yiqing shook his head lightly and said slowly: "We all know it." Whether it is the genes of animals or plants, they are extremely stable, and every transformation takes thousands of years, ten thousand years, or even millions of years. This shows how much power it takes to change genes. However, the energy of these amethysts can be easily done. What does this mean? ”

He Yiqing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Guo Qihua with excitement.

Guo Qihua frowned and thought for a while, and said excitedly: "This shows that the power contained in the amethyst is huge, and it is completely capable of sending spacecraft into outer space." ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute...... Li Xiang interrupted the two of them and said, "What spacecraft?" What are you talking about? "By this time. Guo Qihua was not ready to hide it from Li Xiang, and said to him: "Say, where did you get these amethysts?" Judging by the amount of amethyst in this real room, you should have found the vein of this amethyst, right? ”

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "What vein?" Make no mistake about it. My agricultural institute is full of botanists, not geologists or mineralogists. ”

"Then where did you get so much amethyst? Don't sue sù I bought it at a small commodity market. Guo Qihua asked blankly.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "These amethysts were all given to us by Li Xiaogang, as for where he got so many magical and crazy stones, I don't know!" ”

"Could it be...... Didn't you ask him if you weren't interested in the provenance of such a good thing? Guo Qihua asked with some annoyance.

Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Again, I study plants, not ores. I just need to know what these amethysts are for, and the rest I don't need and don't want to know. ”

Guo Qihua shook his head in distress and said to Li Xiang: "You, you're really angry with me!" Let's put it this way, now we urgently need these amethysts to power our spacecraft, how many amethysts can you provide us? ”

Li Xiang said faintly: "All our amethysts are here......"

Before Li Xiang finished speaking, Guo Qihua said: "Okay, we all want these, you let people unload all the amethyst, and we will ship it back to Beijing immediately." ”

Li Xiang looked at Guo Qihua's posture as a leader, and said to himself as if he had given an order, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said faintly: "Hey, Dean Guo Qihua, you can figure it out, this is not your Academy of Sciences, could it be that you want to rob it?" Guo Qihua listened to Li Xiang's words, and then realized that he was bureaucratic again just now, and hurriedly smiled: "I didn't mean that, I was just too anxious!" Director Li, this project is related to our country's position in the entire world aerospace field, and it is of great significance. Both the chief and the prime minister are very important, and I hope that you will put the overall situation of the country first, and not only look out for the interests of a small group. ”

Li Xiang said lightly: "I'm sorry, although I also want to make a contribution to the country's aerospace industry, but the amethyst here is also very useful for our project."

Without them, we can't complete the genetic modification of seeds and seedlings, we can't modify their genes, no matter how many seeds are scattered in the desert, how many seedlings are planted in the desert, it is all meat buns and dogs, there is no return, I can't help it! ”

"Comrade Li Xiang, I think you should be able to distinguish between priorities and understand which project is more important for the construction of the country. Nowadays, all countries will reach out to outer space, the universe age is making great strides towards us, if we don't want to do everything at this time, occupy an advantageous position in outer space, a hundred years later, there will be no place for our Chinese people in the universe, don't you understand? He Yiqing persuaded with some bitterness.

Li Xiang said faintly: "Please, don't overestimate your own projects and trample on other people's research at will." Aerospace research is important, but isn't our desert management important? Now the desert is devouring a large area of arable land at an alarming speed every year, fertile land, if the desert is allowed to go down insolently, it will not take a hundred years, fifty years, and we will have no place in China, it is precisely because I recognize the priorities that I want to reject you! ”

"That...... That Director Li, it's better to do this, let's add two to five, and everyone will divide it equally! Guo Qihua came up with a compromise solution, which seems fair, but it is actually very rancid.

Li Xiang pouted and said, "Impossible! Now so many amethysts are just enough to meet our needs, if we give you half, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the progress of our project, not to mention, only half of the amethyst, even if it is given to you, I am afraid it will not be enough to send the spacecraft into the sky, right? I don't think you should be blind with me here, organize an exploration team, and try your best to discover the veins of amethyst! ”

Guo Qihua glared at him and said, "What you said is light. Amethyst is different from oil, and even more so from coal, and we don't know anything about its origin and storage environment. In this vast land of nearly 10 million square kilometers, where do you let our exploration team explore? ”

Li Xiang frowned, and said with a sigh: "Hearing you say this, it seems to be very troublesome." Then I can't help but wish you good luck! ”

Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said extremely irresponsible.

"Li Xiang, you ......" Li Xiang's attitude made Guo Qihua and He Yiqing's hearts feel a fire, and Guo Qihua couldn't help but stare at him again, and launched an official authority.

Fortunately, he recovered his senses in time, realized that he didn't seem to be able to control others, and tried to calm down his tone, Guo Qihua said faintly: "Comrade Li Xiang, let's do it, as long as you are willing to give us these amethysts, I can promise you any conditions!" If I can't do it in time, I will do my best to fight for you! ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "This ...... I'm sorry, I racked my brains, and I didn't think about what we need urgently? Talent, we can say that there are many talents here.

What are the funds, we have more funds here than your Academy of Sciences, and we also have the equipment, and we also have what the Academy of Sciences has, and what the Academy of Sciences does not have, we seem to have ...... I'm sorry, but you help me imagine, what do I need your help with? ”

Li Xiang's words almost didn't make Guo Qihua angry, no, to be precise, it should be jealousy.

Li Xiang said that talents, funds and equipment, which are indispensable for scientific research, are exactly what Guo Qihua has to worry about every day.

And here, these have become inadequate, pediatric problems, how can Guo Qihua not be jealous and crazy?

Guo Qihua snorted fiercely and said, "In this way, we don't seem to have much room for negotiation?" ”

Li Xiang said lightly: "No, maybe when we need your help urgently, we can still talk, but I'm afraid you will have to wait." ”

Guo Qihua said angrily: "Okay, Director Li, don't talk to death, let's see!" ”

Seeing that Guo Qihua really turned around and left, He Yiqing quickly walked a few steps to catch up with him and said, "Dean, let's just leave like this?" It's hard to know these amethysts, but you can't give up lightly! ”

Guo Qihua said coldly: "Then what's the way, you have also seen it, people don't buy our account at all!" ”

"Hey! It's a pity that Li Xiaogang died, otherwise, we would have known everything if we asked him. He Yiqing said helplessly.

Guo Qihua snorted and said: "The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked!" You see that Li Xiang is a small citizen, and I don't think Li Xiaogang is much better. (To be continued.) (。 ))
