Chapter 172: Meeting the Old Man Again & Rumors
In order to speed up the pace of research, led by the federal military, Hua Weizhi and Charlene finally decided to join forces with several research centers under the name of the federal military to tackle the project together.
After all, it's not just Charlene or Hua Weizhi's business. And with the intervention of the federal military, many things will be much simpler, and the places that this research institute will face or have to be carefully avoided will be much reduced.
Although it is said that the use of Charlene's spiritual power will be limited to a certain extent, but anyway, Hua Weizhi and Charlene use a real room alone, except for the two of them, as long as they are careful enough, no one will know Charlene's secret.
On the contrary, because of the participation of all forces, they were able to better hide Charlene's specialness in the shadows.
Although, even if it is hidden, it cannot be as thorough as before. As long as you are careful enough, someone will always notice something unusual, but even then, it is much better for Charlene than to let everyone's eyes focus on Charlene, who should be an inconspicuous "apprentice" like this.
Therefore, whether it is Hua Weizhi or Charlene, they are very wise not to refuse the olive branch handed by the other party, but after a series of consultations, the cooperative relationship was finalized.
Because a large number of researchers from all over the world participated, it was certainly impossible for Hua Weizhi to crowd everyone into this small greenhouse flower room of Mingyang Academy.
After all, although this place was the most well-known research institute at that time thousands of years ago, the most scenery could not stop the changes of the times, not to mention that it had actually become a private forbidden place for the Hua family.
It is impossible for Hua Weizhi to tolerate so many people coming here.
Fortunately, the military apparently understands this taboo of flowers as a plant.
In other words, after learning about this taboo of flowers for plants, they were willing to make a certain concession, so their research place was changed to a research institute under the military.
Of course, as a newcomer, Charlene has zero understanding of this research institute.
So after getting the approval of Hua Weizhi, Charlene was finally able to put down her work for a while and come out to walk around the research center, familiarize herself with the environment, and by the way, get acquainted with the people around her.
After all, this place is heavily monitored, and their research project is highly classified by the Federation, so if nothing else, they will be here for a short time.
Seeing Xia Lin, who was also wearing a white coat, Hao Lianyuanmao was stunned. "Charlene?"
Charlene, who was visiting a garden made up of alien plants with very low attack power cultivated in the environment of a greenhouse flower room, suddenly heard someone behind her calling her name, and turned around in surprise.
She couldn't remember anyone she knew here.
Belch...... However...... "Hao Lian Yuanmao? Why are you here? ”
"That's what I want to ask." Hao Lian Yuanmao showed a somewhat helpless smile. "Why are you here?"
It's much more heavily guarded than their research center, and even to ensure that all the results and research directions of this research project will be kept absolutely confidential, and almost everyone will be strictly scrutinized before entering this place.
It's not his previous research institute, where Charlene can be allowed to enter and exit.
"Ah, I...... I'm a researcher here......" Charlene replied subconsciously.
"You? Researcher? Hao Lian Yuanmao was even more surprised at this time. What do you study? ”
How did he not know that Charlene had a talent for this?
You know, even when they were teenagers, Charlene had helped him collect materials in private countless times, and carried out cultivation and research on xenoplants, but that was only to help him, and she never intervened.
Even, it should be said that there is no interest in these at all.
But now, what does Charlene say, she's actually a researcher here?!
Hao Lian Yuanmao was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed that the clothes Xia Lin was wearing were exactly the research clothes that researchers representing the core research area were qualified to wear.
Although it looks similar to the clothes on his body, in fact, whether it is the nameplate engraved on the collar or the font embroidered on the armband, it is different.
"During this period of time, the two people who have been rumored to have teamed up to study a man and a woman who can survive on other planets, the apprentice among them, shouldn't it be you?" After looking at Xia Lin for a while, Hao Lian Yuanmao asked in disbelief.
Charlene scoffed. "That...... Presumably...... Right? ”
Is she famous?
Seeing the expression on Xia Lin's face, Hao Lian Yuanmao knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but snort at Xia Lin angrily. "It's not very famous, but it just so happens that not only the entire Federation now knows your name, but even most of the people in the Interstellar Alliance have heard about it."
Xia Lin was really frightened at this moment, and looked at Hao Lian Yuanmao stupidly. "Huh?!"
"Don't sue me, you don't know what your research means." Although he was very happy to be able to meet this best friend from his youth, seeing Xia Lin who had no sense of crisis at all, Hao Lian Yuanmao couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Charlene scoffed.
She could ...... Probably...... I don't know.
Those alien plants are now only able to survive for a month without absorbing the energy provided by the outside world, and there is still a long way to go before they can survive on other planets, or even subtly change some energy factors on that planet, to the point where energy can appear, and even provide the energy that the people who live on that planet need daily.
Therefore, Charlene really didn't expect this incident to cause such a big repercussion.
Although there is also a gimmick released by the Federation in order to stabilize the current war situation and put pressure on the interstellar alliance, it ...... It's too exaggerated, isn't it?
Charlene was inexplicably empty.
What, in a certain way, is not how powerful and talented she and Hua Weizhi are, but ...... She's actually using a cheat to cheat, right......
"You're also the latest batch of researchers this time?" As if she had just reacted, Charlene asked suddenly.
If she remembers correctly, the direction of Hao Lian Yuanmao and Yu Ze's research is more than 108,000 miles different from them.
"Hmm." Hao Lian Yuanmao nodded, smiling a little shyly. "Mainly responsible for the study of cell and genetic directions between xenoplants and common plants."
Charlene:......
What is this, can the genetics of humans and the genes of plants be linked together?
It's not a vegetative person!
But unfortunately, she obviously has no say in the study of this aspect, especially when this matter rises to the level of the entire nation, the entire federation, and even the whole of humanity.
Charlene, even if she has achieved groundbreaking and first successful results, can only be a rookie who has little right to speak.
At most, it's just a rookie with some privileges.
There's no way, who let her have a "master" on top of her. No matter how heavy the role she plays in this, it is impossible to repeat it more than the flower for the plant.
Not to mention, Hua Weizhi is not only in the weight between the two of them, but in this group of researchers with their nostrils facing the sky, the status is obviously much higher than Charlene imagined.
She can see this from the attitude of those people towards her.
But it is precisely because of this that many people do not tell her much about many things.
Others think that there are flowers for planting, whether it is good or bad, they dare not tell her lightly, even if they want to say, they also have their own flowers for planting to tell her. In this era, it is almost a provocative thing to teach other people's apprentices by passing over other people's masters, especially when the other party's status is still above their own.
And the flowers are planted......
Well, in fact, he just didn't think about it, and he didn't think Charlene needed to know.
Naturally, she still doesn't know that the reason why Hao Lian Yuanmao and them participated in this research is because when the original ancestor of the Hua family was studying this topic, he had extracted several different plants and ordinary plants because of a certain idea, and fused their genes together, but as a result, he cultivated a plant that not only has its own independent and powerful spiritual consciousness, but also I don't know if it is because its genes are too complex and chaotic, although its spiritual consciousness is strong, it is not clear enough.
Or rather, not singular enough, but disordered, with occasional riots and aggressive irritability.
Originally, such a failed strain, even if it was a little more aggressive, would at most cause some damage to various things in the institute and researchers, and it would not be a big deal.
But in fact, it was precisely because the ancestor of the Hua family thought so that he finally made a breakthrough in this research topic that he was excited about, and the alien plant he cultivated not only could adapt to most of the earth's environment, but also grew very well, but ignored the hidden dangers caused by its overly disordered spiritual power direction consciousness.
This hidden danger exploded quickly.
Just when almost all the wood-based aliens in the Federation who only need to configure a family greenhouse and flower room, or hire a planting direction, have put one or more such "ornamental alien plants", one night, all the alien plants that were named "blue fragrant" at that time had a spiritual riot.
And the result of their mental power riot not only affected those who were relatively close to these "blue fragrances", but even indirectly triggered a beast tide that was more than two years in advance!
That beast tide, because the human supernatural were unprepared, was negatively affected by the riot of the blue fragrance......
It was a very horrific, almost one-sided massacre.
Although the time experienced was very short, even only three days, but in that beast tide, the human race lost nearly one-third of the abilities.
It's a hell of a disaster.
Since then, the ancestor of the Hua family himself has borne the brunt of the impact of the blue fragrant spiritual power riot, and was seriously injured, but he died of depression in just a year. Since then, this research has been shelved, and even put on the joint blacklist of the federal military and parliament.
Naturally, Charlene would not know how much Hua Weizhi had paid behind her in order to allow their research to continue, or even to bring out their results openly.
But Charlene doesn't know, but that doesn't mean others don't know.
It is precisely because of knowing that almost all those who know the relationship between Charlene and Hua Weizhi, and see Hua Weizhi's care for Charlene, no one dares to be too presumptuous in front of Charlene.
Even because of this, the rumors about the two of them intensified, but Charlene never heard the slightest rumor here, let alone was harassed.
At this point, I have to say that Hua Weizhi really protects her very well.
"I always thought that you would be with Chu Ci." Hao Lian Yuanmao said something a little cluelessly, which made Xia Lin look up at him in confusion, "What do you mean?" ”
Who is she with, and is there anything wrong with that?
Moreover, Chu Ci is a federal general, even if it is a family member, she may not be able to follow at any time, how can she be with that guy all the time?
Besides, why did she keep following that guy?
Xia Lin couldn't help muttering in her heart, and her face showed a little unhappiness for Chu Ci.
She hasn't forgotten some of her "grievances" with that person!
Seeing Xia Lin like this, it didn't seem like she had cut off contact with Chu Ci, but more like a little couple having an awkward relationship, Hao Lian Yuanmao was surprised. "You don't know?"
"Know what?" Charlene shook her head and threw someone's face out of her mind.
"......" Hao Lianyuanmao's expression became a little strange. It is rumored that you are the apprentice of Master Hua. ”
Charlene nodded, "Ah, that's not wrong. ”
Although she did not worship Hua Weizhi as a master, Hua Weizhi has always taught her carefully, and she is more competent than many masters.
Although most of the time, Charlene is directly asked to do it, or she throws books to Charlene to read, but Charlene also knows that whether it is the books and materials she sees, or the seemingly casual guidance of the other party, they are actually very important to her.
It is precisely because of the careful guidance of the other party that she can progress so fast. Even, for the first time, I felt joy from the bottom of my heart for my wood-based ability.
So for admitting that Hua Weizhi is her master, Charlene doesn't have much psychological pressure.
However, what does this have to do with Chu Ci?
"I heard that Master Hua takes good care of you and values you very much?" Hao Lian Yuanmao suddenly changed the topic and asked.
Charlene blinked. "This ...... Should...... Right? ”
If those unique ways of teaching count as "caring." R1152
