Mr. Chen continued: "The teacher and I happened to see this wonderful scene. We quickly climbed to the top of the mountain in the wind and snow, and found the strange plant among the ruins."
"This object is extremely reactive, and its vitality after being reborn from the thunder is completely beyond recognition... The teacher concluded that this object is the legendary dragon's blood tree, and the one that was struck into powder by lightning just now must be the accompanying Emperor Xiu tree."
"So the teacher dug three feet into the ground and finally dug out a small section of the root of the Dixiu tree."
"During subsequent research, the teacher discovered that these two things complement each other and are indispensable without the other."
"Emperor Hsiu Mu is lazy by nature. If it is not stimulated by Dragon Blood Wood, it will not grow all year round. However, Dragon Blood Wood is full of vitality. Without the restraint of Emperor Hsiu Mu...according to the teacher's estimate, this thing will grow within a year. It will grow into a giant tree."
"After some research, the teacher concluded that these two kinds of plants should not be tolerated in the world. According to the meaning of natural selection, a mud can't support the wall, and a tree will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. They are all extinct by the way of heaven. .”
"However, when life has no way out, it will find a way out... It must be reasonable for them to be passed down from ancient times to the present."
"The teacher used the genetic fragment of Dracaena as a basis to develop the Liangshu No. 1 mother plant with extremely strong growth capacity."
Chen Youping said with lingering fear: "However, the mother plant is extremely unstable and has a disorderly growth pattern. The teacher estimates that if it is not controlled, the tree will drain the groundwater and soil fertility of an area in a short period of time, and eventually kill it. The life of the whole area.”
"As a last resort, the teacher intercepted the genetic fragments of Emperor Xiu Mu as a supplement to inhibit the crazy growth of Dragon Blood Wood."
"After countless attempts, the gene fragment that mixed two ancient sacred trees was finally successfully edited, and the mature gene fragment became stable."
"The teacher edited this gene fragment and added it to the genome of sorghum, and then embedded a small fragment of Populus euphratica gene, ultimately creating a brand new species."
"This is the origin of Liangshu No. 1."
Chen Youping said.
Then here comes the problem.
“What does Monsanto want?”
Song Ziyu asked.
"They want the fruit of the dragon's blood tree." Chen Youping said: "They want the dragon's blood tree... ultimately for eternal life." Song Ziyu's heart thumped.
really……
Still related to eternal life.
The only thing that rich and powerful people cannot control is their own lives.
Mr. Chen continued: "Dragon's Blood Wood is too unnatural. My teacher once asserted that if you want Dragon's Blood Wood to grow into fruit and produce food, it will at least extract the energy of a large area of land. This kind of plundering method that draws fuel from the bottom of the cauldron is definitely not what plants should do. Some natures... Therefore, God will not allow this kind of plant to grow wantonly, and will often send down punishment... which is the disaster of thunder and fire we see."
Then the problem returns to the beginning.
"What are you going to do when you go back this time?" Song Ziyu asked.
Mr. Chen replied: "Teacher has already consumed all the fragments of Dragon Blood Tree and Emperor Xiu Wood. The secrets of the genes are hidden in the Liangshu No. 1 mother seed. It is the mother seed that Monsanto Company is targeting. That piece of genetic editing!”
"They must be planning to use the mother seed to restore the dragon's blood tree, and then seek to obtain the fruit." Mr. Chen finally revealed Monsanto's purpose.
Song Ziyu thought about it and felt it was very possible.
This is very much in line with Monsanto’s core appeal.
"So, the mother seed of Liangshu No. 1 must not be obtained by people from Monsanto! I must go back to stop all this!" Mr. Chen said: "As long as the mother seed is taken away, even if my teacher is reborn, it will be impossible to copy it. ... This scientific research result must not fall into the hands of foreigners. We cannot predict the disaster this will bring... If you think about those who have capital and power, if they have eternal life, wouldn't they be ordinary? Will people never be able to stand up again?"
Hearing this, Song Ziyu immediately agreed: "I support your idea!"
…
This trip is quite risky, so you need to make the necessary preparations before setting off.
Song Ziyu gathered everyone in Longshan and equipped Mr. Chen with a suit of body-proof vest, and then prepared some adrenaline prepared by Stein.
Finally, Song Ziyu hid a dagger made from the bones of a dire wolf inside his trousers and finally completed his preparations.
With Lao Chen's time-travel bracelet activated, Song Ziyu returned to the civilized world.
"I'll buy a plane ticket and we'll fly to northern Xinjiang overnight." Song Ziyu took out his mobile phone and made arrangements.
"Don't panic, I have to go to Nannong No. 5 Scientific Research Institute... I need to destroy some data." Mr. Chen said: "If the scientific research institute is still there as you said, then some data must be destroyed."
"I go with you."
Song Ziyu said.
So the two squatted in a secret place outside the door of the scientific research institute and kept watch. It was not until "Chen Youping" left the scientific research institute surrounded by a crowd of students that Song Ziyu and Chen Lao came out of their hiding place.
No need for any disguise, the two of them walked to the entrance of the scientific research institute.
Seeing Chen Youping, the security guard nodded and bowed: "Mr. Chen, didn't you just leave?"
Chen Youping pretended to be calm and explained: "I forgot to take something."
With that said, Chen Youping was about to walk inside.
However, the door lock at the door requires a card swipe machine to enter. Song Ziyu and Mr. Chen are both "cardless people" and can only watch helplessly.
"Mr. Chen, wait a minute. I'll open the door for you."
The security guard was so worried that he opened the door lock with his own house number, allowing Song Ziyu and Mr. Chen to enter the scientific research institute park.
Walking in the busy park, Chen Youping almost had bruises on his hands behind his back. This shows that Chen, who has a calm face, is actually very nervous inside.
Finally, under the greetings of countless people, the two entered the office building.
The office uses a password lock. Chen Youping tried the password he had used before, and sure enough, the door opened instantly.
After entering the office, Chen Youping went straight to his desk, turned on his computer, and then began to delete things in it.
After a series of encrypted important files were deleted, Professor Chen logged out of his cloud disk.
After completing this step, Mr. Chen felt relieved.
"There's only one last thing left." Mr. Chen murmured, opening the computer case, taking out the hard drive, putting it in a beaker, and pouring concentrated sulfuric acid...
"Is this necessary?"
Seeing this scene, Song Ziyu thought that Mr. Chen was too cruel.
But Mr. Chen said: "It must be like this. If it is as you said, I know everything about the other person, then I must make things foolproof."
While the two were talking, the door to the laboratory suddenly opened.
