The advancement of Lu Jinwen's project did not take very long.
According to Gao Jiayu and others, Lu Jinwen really started researching this project, which was about half a year before the start of the strange era.
Moreover, there were many work matters involved in the process. If Lu Jinwen hadn't lost his temper later and sold his seniority, I'm afraid the research progress would have been affected even more.
"Senior Gao, did you follow up on this project at that time?"
"We did some basic work, but it was mainly work in the school laboratory. For outdoor inspections and collections, Professor Lu only took Sister Zuo Yongqiu to go there. She is the tutor's assistant in business."
Zuo Yongqiu?
This woman, Jiang Yue, had only seen it on Professor Lu's computer, and it was an uncoded version.
It seemed that compared to students like Gao Jiayu, the person Lu Jinwen trusted the most was Zuo Yongqiu. At least until he discovered Zuo Yongqiu's true face, he trusted Zuo Yongqiu the most.
Later, it was estimated that Zuo Yongqiu had revealed some flaws in some details, which Lu Jinwen discovered.
That's why Lu Jinwen hid the USB flash drive in the ecological park area.
There is now no news from these two people and their whereabouts are unknown.
It is obviously impossible to expect them to provide more clues.
Gao Jiayu and others did not participate in the outdoor collection and inspection work, and it was obviously impossible to find new clues.
"Boss, is there really nothing we can do with the existing information?" Jiang Yue asked depressedly.
"Boy, are you doubting my judgment?" Mr. Kangaroo was a little displeased. "I have already made many assumptions. Without further clues to support it, I can't make progress at all."
"Damn it, it's just a tree. I don't believe it. There's really nothing we can do about it?" Mao Doudou was the first to refuse.
Isn't it just a tree?
Aren’t those ancient trees at the entrance of Daozi Lane uprooted one by one by themselves?
Does the strange tree have three heads and six arms? Is it immortal? Mao Doudou was furious and wanted to see the strange tree.
The old kangaroo glanced at Tong Fatty, as if he was caring for a mentally retarded child.
"Boy, if the Weird Tree can be destroyed with just hot blood and words, it won't be your turn." The kangaroo boss said rudely.
"Hmph, then it didn't meet me." Mao Doudou hummed.
"Doudou, stop saying a few words." Jiang Yue knew the temper of the kangaroo elder and stopped Mao Doudou from talking nonsense.
The kangaroo boss didn't take it seriously and seemed to have no interest in getting angry with a young man like Mao Doudou.
However, she immediately thought of something and said calmly: "Boy, you are only focusing on the evolution of the weird tree and thinking about how to deal with the weird tree. There is another question, have you thought about it?"
"What?"
"This weird tree may not be the ultimate problem at all. Maybe the weird tree is just a chess piece in a big chess game?"
Jiang Yue has actually considered this issue.
The strange tree is now the biggest trouble for Star City.
But if you really want to put it in the context of the entire Gaia planet, the weird tree is just a local problem.
However, Jiang Yue is now in Star City and can only focus on the current problems. From a higher perspective, he is simply unable to reach it at his current height. No matter how much he thinks about it, it is useless.
The old kangaroo kept staring at Jiang Yue, his eyes as sharp as a pair of crab claws.
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, even the weird tree has already made me very anxious. I can't find a way to solve it at the moment. Do you think I can touch it at any higher level?"
"Have you tried it?" asked the kangaroo boss.
"Have you ever tried to understand what the world outside Star City is like now?"
"After all, have you ever had the determination to jump out of Star City, or even abandon Star City?"
The kangaroo elder's tone was sharp and indifferent, speaking straight to the soul.
Moreover, Jiang Yue was not allowed to evade or be evasive at all.
"Answer me." The kangaroo boss said coldly.
Jiang Yue sighed, shook his head, and his tone became firm: "I really didn't think about abandoning Star City until the last step. This is the home where I was born and raised, and I have no reason to abandon it."
"I can't say there's anything wrong with your idea, nor can I accuse you of being selfish. However, maybe because of this, you have never been able to find a way to deal with the strange tree. Because you have limited your vision to Star City. What is this called? What does a poem say? I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, but I just live in this mountain."
"What do you mean by the boss? You want to jump out of Star City and look at the problems in Star City?"
"This is the truth that I have pondered over the past few days. The current situation is difficult to break through solely through scientific research, unless new clues emerge." Kangaroo said calmly.
When the topic reached this level, everyone fell into silence.
Even Mao Doudou, who was boasting just now, seemed to think that the words of the kangaroo elder seemed to have profound meaning and make sense.
Of course Jiang Yue couldn't deny this.
However, just one Star City makes everyone anxious. Jumping out of Star City is undoubtedly a luxury.
Unless Jiang Yue can really be ruthless and ignore the survival of Star City.
These bonds he has in Star City are destined to make him unable to jump out of Star City or even abandon Star City as the Kangaroo Boss said.
"Boy, don't blame me for speaking poorly. I heard that your grandfather was a good man who guarded the country, an old god praised by everyone. Your mother was the backbone of the archaeological team, and she risked her life to investigate strange clues. Even if you, my father, serve an iron rice bowl and eat royal food, in order to continue your mother's career, even if he simply wants to find your mother, he can give up the iron rice bowl, abandon you siblings, jump out of his comfort zone, and embark on a new path. Why can't you understand the road that you don't understand? You are an eighteen-year-old young man who should be full of energy and fearless, but why do you shrink back and be cautious in everything? "
"Tell me, why is this?"
"Do you think you can live on in a small area like a villa in Daozi Lane?"
"Tell me, what is there in Star City that you can't give up?" Mr. Kangaroo's voice suddenly increased and he roared.
What can't be given up?
Even Lao Sun and others were shocked by the fierce words of the kangaroo elder.
Liu Yunqian said hurriedly: "Sister Gu, Xiaoyue has actually worked very hard. After all, he is young and has already shouldered too many burdens that he should not have to bear. Are you...are you too harsh on him?"
The old kangaroo laughed, with a hint of self-deprecation in his smile.
"I am a person who has gone astray. I am not qualified to preach or anything."
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be interested in saying anything to him."
"Precisely because it is him, he is the only one among the young people who I think has hope of solving the dilemma, so I must have stricter requirements on him."
Able people should do more work.
Jiang Yue's mood at the moment was complicated.
Naturally, he would not hold any grudge against Mr. Kangaroo's words. In fact, what Mr. Kangaroo said actually made sense.
To find reasons why he couldn't live without Star City, Jiang Yue could find dozens or a hundred.
But if you want to find a reason to leave Star City, one is enough!
Grandfather, mother, father...
Why couldn't he do what they'd been doing?
Whether it is the villa in Daozi Lane or the home in Crescent Harbor, they are places worth protecting.
But can you really protect it perfectly if you stay in Star City?
After experiencing so many battles, Jiang Yue felt more and more that he couldn't hold on just by trying to patch up holes.
It's like a house that leaks everywhere. If you try to patch it up again and again, you can at most just make sure that the leakage is not that serious. But after a long time, it will not be stopped and it will not be repaired well.
In the final outcome, there is a high probability that it will collapse.
The layout of Star City now looks more and more like a dilapidated house with leaks.
Liu Yunqian still wanted to explain a few words to Jiang Yue, but Lao Sun suddenly said: "I think Sister Gu is right. Maybe it's us who have become a fetter for Jiang Yue and hindered him."
"Teacher Sun, you can't say that. I believe Brother Yue will never think like that." Tong Feifei said quickly.
"Jiang Yue will definitely not think so. He has always been a warm-hearted child. He has never seen others suffer. But because of this, people like me have become a burden to him, holding him back and constraining him. It gave him his determination to venture out."
Lao Sun's tone was full of self-blame: "The whole Star City, and even the whole world is suffering, but I feel at ease to waste my time here, living an ignoble existence, and not even realizing that I have become a drag. Why is this all happening? Why do I belong to Jiang Yue? Teacher?"
"Teacher Sun, stop!" Jiang Yue had to say, "I didn't jump out of Star City, and it has nothing to do with you living here. There is no problem of holding you back. My mother, my father, they perform their duties, and I stayed in Star City before to fulfill my duty. Everyone acted according to their heart. It is my duty to stay in Star City."
To a certain extent, Jiang Yue admitted that what Mr. Kangaroo said made sense.
But he never thought that he had to jump out of Star City.
At least before that, Jiang Yue didn't get any hint of jumping out of Star City.
I didn't get this kind of prediction from Zhiling, nor did I get this kind of prediction from the family inheritance.
Jiang Yue's eyes were clear and he looked at the kangaroo boss calmly.
"Elder brother, I admit that there is some truth in your words. Star City is not impossible to leave, nor is it impossible to abandon. But it is definitely not abandoning for the sake of abandoning, and leaving for the sake of leaving. Maybe one day I will leave Star City, but at least not now, not before. Because, until now, I haven’t triggered the opportunity to leave Star City.”
"Then when do you think is the right time?" Kangaroo asked calmly.
"Once this time comes, I will definitely feel it." Jiang Yue's tone was full of confidence.
The kangaroo boss spread his hands: "The current situation has reached a stalemate. If no new clues can be found, everything will come to a standstill. Do you think the strange tree will stop its evolution?"
The situation is indeed difficult.
Boss Kangaroo couldn't find any new clues, and Jiang Yue and the Operation Bureau couldn't find a breakthrough.
Ordinarily, under this situation, perhaps we should really open up a new front.
"It will not stop the pace of evolution, and we have not stopped either. We don't know whether we will win or lose until the last moment."
The kangaroo boss didn't have to argue with Jiang Yue, she just expressed her thoughts.
Seeing Jiang Yue's determination, her emotions calmed down.
Nodding: "You pull me out of this mountain because you think highly of me. No matter what, I will keep working hard on this front. As long as you don't give up, I will never stop."
"Okay, I feel relieved with the words of the boss. I will continue to look for new clues. The strange tree has been hiding from us, proving that its weakness is greater than we imagined. It is temporarily unable to adapt to the surface of the earth. World, we just cling to this and never let it get easier."
"Then why are you still standing there? Are you still thinking about waiting for dinner?" The Kangaroo boss couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw the attitude of their group, as if they were planning to have a dinner at Villa No. 9 tonight.
How long has it been since then, and you are still thinking about eating and drinking?
These words left no emotion at all.
And her temper was not directed at Jiang Yue, but even people like Tong Di and Mao Doudou.
Even Ding Lei, who was visiting for the first time, felt a little unable to sit still.
After the kangaroo boss finished speaking, he walked back to the laboratory with a straight face.
It can be seen that this elder is indeed very characterful, and he is very angry now.
Gao Jiayu, Cui Zili and others were all apologetic.
"Junior Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry, the elder's temper is a bit hasty. Let's go and persuade her." Gao Jiayu and others were too embarrassed to linger and followed them to the laboratory.
Mao Doudou scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Brother Yue, where did you invite this elder? He has such a bad temper. Does she not welcome us?"
"Don't think nonsense. The old lady has a bad temper, but this is definitely not a personal grudge. She must be anxious too."
Jiang Yue had no objection to Mr. Kangaroo.
Originally, he could just let it go, but he got involved in this matter just because he was invited by Jiang Yue.
If something goes wrong on my side, it's normal for people to complain a little bit.
Lao Sun is the elder and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yue, I have thought about it. We will move now while it is still afternoon."
"Teacher Sun, why are you doing this? We don't mean anything against you, right? I believe Mr. Kangaroo doesn't mean anything against you either."
Lao Sun said firmly: "It is precisely because I know that she is not targeting me that I can understand her better. At this time, even if I can't help, I shouldn't hold back. I have no reason to enjoy special treatment here. Yangfan learns from me There’s no way to go back. But it should be possible at Crescent Harbor Base, right?”
"Teacher Sun...you have to think about Xia Xia and Sister Liu, right?"
Liu Yunqian smiled and said: "I have no problem. In fact, I think the same as your teacher Sun. In this world, why should we enjoy privileges? We should face it together with everyone."
"Okay, it's settled. If you still treat me as your teacher, just listen to me this time. I owe you this dinner." Lao Sun said seriously, "Mao Doudou, that Axia still There are your sisters, you are responsible for explaining it to them."
