Star Farm

Wen Bai felt that Grandpa Chen was more or less smudged, and every time he went to his stall to buy seeds, he could always explain the characteristics of the plants clearly, but occasionally he became confused and seemed unreliable.

Several people hesitated and moved forward, staring at the sunflower in Mr. Chen's hand, scanning it inch by inch, and looked back and forth several times, but found nothing wrong.

"Master, what's the problem?" Luo Xi was puzzled.

"Oh, you!" Mr. Chen shook his head, expressing his disappointment with him, and then poked his forehead angrily, "I told you to study hard at ordinary times, it's so obvious that you can't see it. Look, here!" He held the sunflower He picked it up, gently wiped off the soil on the rhizome, and handed it to them. He pointed to the rhizome that looked like a tumor at the bottom, "Here! This is it."

Wen Bai said "ah" and said, "There are galls!" Galls refer to the abnormally developed parts of plants caused by parasitism of insects laying eggs, which look like tumors.He also said earlier that there are not many bugs in the flower garden, so he will be slapped in the face.

Mr. Chen blew his beard and stared, "What kind of gall, look carefully." He carefully cut open the "tumor" with his nails, revealing the silver-white thing inside. After peeling off the outer skin completely, this thing is only as big as a soybean grain.

"This is?" Wen Bai had a certain guess, but he was not sure.

Mr. Chen muttered: "Ask the question clearly." He threw away the sunflower in his hand and put the "soy bean" in the palm of his hand. Scanned in all directions.

The scanner quickly rang "Didi!", and several people looked over, only to see the letters "MX" appearing on the display screen, and its weight, about 0.21 grams.

Luo Xi's excited eyes widened in vain, and he looked up at Wen Bai adoringly, "This is Ming Xi, Mr. Wen, you actually managed to plant it!"

Wen Bai was speechless for a while, but he really "planted" it.

"You still gave it a name?" Mr. Chen said while looking down at the "soy bean", "Actually, Dixing's what Garl laboratory detected an unknown element in a certain plant as early as 100 years ago, but this The content was too small, and they couldn't extract it. Later, they researched that this element was absorbed by some plants from the soil, but with the level of technology at that time, it was impossible to strip this element out of the soil. This project was It's been put on hold."

Qiao Mingluo said, "It's McGall's laboratory."

Seeing Qiao Mingluo speak, Mr. Chen's tone became neither cold nor cold, "Yes! This is the laboratory. This laboratory has a history of more than 200 years, and there are about 1000 scientists. They mainly conduct research in chemistry, physics, materials , engineering and information science research work.”

Wen Bai understood. Generally, this kind of laboratory is backed by big financial backers. After all, doing research is very expensive.

Then Mrs. Chen's face softened, and he laughed at them, "They are the first to discover, they have already been named, and they have applied for the right to name, so the names you choose don't count."

Luo Xi was a little disappointed, "Then what names did they choose?"

"Uranium back."

"Come back." Qiao Mingluo and Mr. Chen said in unison.

Hearing Qiao Mingluo speak, Wen Bai held his chin and looked at him for a moment, "How do you know everything?"

"I used to do various missions and needed to master a lot of information." Qiao Mingluo didn't say much, "The royal family is behind the McGarl laboratory."

Wen Bai glanced at the uranium in Mr. Chen's hand, "Then what should I do with this thing?" He studies plants and only knows a little about elements. Luo Xi is better at construction machinery and has never studied materials science and engineering. .

"If you are trustworthy, you can hand it over to Lan Mo. His family has raised a group of researchers." Although Qiao Mingluo said so, he does not want Lan Mo to participate in his selfishness. He had to be bound with the Lan family, and the use of uranium was not clear yet, but he had a hunch that the refining of uranium would cause a major technological change.And the Lan family has always served the royal family, if there is a conflict of interests in the future, it will only make that little fool caught in the middle of a dilemma.

Mrs. Chen glared at him immediately, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is about our Wen Duoxing, what do you call an outsider here?"

After teasing Qiao Mingluo, he turned around and said to Wen Bai: "Leave this matter alone and let the consul worry about it. You should continue to live your little life happily."

Wen Bai was very helpless, "Mr. Chen, he is my boyfriend." So can you stop targeting him?

"Hmph!" Mr. Chen snorted heavily, and said bad things directly in front of people, "No one with the surname Shi is a good thing."

Wen Bai corrected: "His surname is Qiao, not Shi."

"It's still not the same." Grandpa Chen looked at him bitterly, "I'll see how you cry when I'm sold by him someday!"

Wen Bai gave up arguing with him for the time being. It seemed that Mr. Chen and his group's prejudice against Xiao Ming would not be able to be corrected in a short while.

But Qiao Mingluo fell into deep doubts. He heard that guy gossip when he was a child. There was such a rumor in the royal family that when the emperor was still the prince, he and General Wen Duo were lovers. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, Admiral Wen Duo "disappeared" and disappeared, and the royal family tried their best to suppress all news about Admiral Wen Duo at that time. It is very likely that her "disappearance" was related to the royal family.

The disappearance of Admiral Wen Duo is a royal secret, and Qiao Mingluo's identity cannot be known. Now it seems that Wen Duo's people may know something inside.

While they were talking, many tourists saw Wen Bai's figure from a distance and pretended to pass by casually. Wen Bai also saw them sneakily raising their terminals to take pictures. He turned his back and suggested Said: "Let's go back first."

"Yeah." Qiao Mingluo put his hand on Wen Bai's shoulder, half-embracing him and walking back, just blocking those scorching sights.

As soon as Qiao Mingluo made a move, Wen Bai seemed to hear a sound of gasping from behind, enjoying some obvious treatment, Wen Bai was really tired, he thought to himself, next time he would just wear a mask when he went out.

On the way to the cafeteria, Wen Bai sent a video to ask Tan Yan where they are now, and learned that they had returned to the box, Wen Bai and the others stopped dawdling, and picked up an unused sightseeing car on the side of the road and drove over.

When he got off the car at the cafeteria, Wen Bai trotted up the stairs. The door of the box was ajar. He opened the door and went in. He saw the consul turning his head slightly and talking to Tan Yan in a low voice. Hearing the sound, the two stopped talking. , turned around and looked over.

Realizing that the action of opening the door just now was too rude, Wen Bai smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle Tan."

Mr. Chen is getting old, and he can't run as fast as he could. He just got up the stairs and was still panting, when he started yelling, "Mr. Consul! Where did you get Boy Dong and the others?"

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Tan Ziyun's voice had a unique rhythm, which made everyone who heard it calm down, "What happened, Mr. Chen, what are you looking for Xiaodong and the others for?"

Mr. Chen gasped and said, "Hurry up and call Xiaodong and the others back! They..." In the middle of speaking, he immediately gave Qiao Mingluo a vigilant look, "I have something to ask them."

Seeing Mr. Chen being so wary of Xiao Ming, Wen Bai felt very uncomfortable. He pulled Xiao Ming's hand from the bottom, with a smile on his face, "You guys talk first, Xiao Ming and I will go to the back kitchen to have a look."

Tan Ziyun gave Wen Bai a comforting look, and said in a gentle tone, "It's okay, he's not an outsider, Mr. Chen, you don't have to be too scrupulous."

Now that the consul had spoken, Mr. Chen did not continue to be hostile to Qiao Mingluo even though he was not happy about it. After sitting down and feeling sulky by himself, he put the "soy bean" in his hand on the table, pointed to it and said : "You ask Xiaodong and the others to come back and study what is the use of this thing."

The consul picked up the "soy bean grains", but with a little effort, they were crushed flat. This thing is softer than dough. He asked, "Where did this come from?"

At this time, Luo Xi shyly said: "This is planted by Mr. Wen."

Wen Bai was silent, "...well."

"I see, I will notify Xiaodong and the others to come back, but they will not be able to return until three months at the earliest." The consul said.

Seeing the doubts on Wen Bai's face, Tan Yan said, "If you want to know anything, just ask."

Tan Ziyun looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to ask, Wen Bai couldn't help asking: "Who are Xiaodong and the others?"

Tan Yan folded his hands behind his head, and said lazily: "I told you, but you don't know each other. They are not in Wenduoxing now, and you will be able to see them in the future."

At this moment, Wen Bai had the urge to ask Xiao Ming to beat him up, which made him feel guilty.

Tan Ziyun gave him a warning with his eyes, Tan Yan curled his lips, and pointed the back of his head at Tan Ziyun as if angry.

Tan Ziyun smiled helplessly, "Xiaodong and the others are studying materials engineering at the Taihe College in Emperor Star, and they will graduate with a Ph.D. in a few months. It's time for them to come back."

Hearing this, Qiao Mingluo seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was not surprised at all. Only Wen Bai asked stupidly: "Is there anyone else in Wen Duoxing?"

Luo Xi replied blankly: "Yes, Mr. Wen, you don't know that I graduated from Emperor Star Taihe College." He touched his head and felt very embarrassed, "But my grades are not very good. After that, I didn’t continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so I came back directly.”

Wen Bai: "..." If he hadn't known Luo Xi's character in advance, he would really have thought that what the other party said was kind words. Wen Bai had also seen it before, Luo Xi probably had some kind of deviation in his perception of himself. That's why he always thought that his grades were poor.Otherwise, the Taihe Academy is full of talents, all of whom are gods of learning, and Luo Xi becomes mediocre in comparison.

He stared blankly at Luo Xi who could do anything like Ding Dong, and asked in his heart: Is this possible?

Thinking of this, Wen Bai's heart is very complicated. He seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding at the beginning, and he was misled by the stingy Hu Huo, making him think that Wen Duoxing is so poor that he will soon be unable to eat. It turns out that he is the only one who is really poor .

"Don't look at me." Wen Bai leaned his head on Qiao Mingluo's shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I need to be quiet."
