Chapter 25 Yangcheng Research Institute

Fu Di Qinghe: "I paid attention to this mutated iron birch tree yesterday and thought he had a lot to do. Today I saw that his ranking has soared."

A glance at the top of the mountain: "Brothers upstairs, stop bragging. I was here yesterday and I didn't see you speak."

The man was really tired: "What a pity. The ones on the list are either locust trees or iron birch trees. Why can't there be a fruit tree?"

"Lychee, longan, mango, ginseng, jackfruit, grapefruit, banana, why are there no mutations in fruit trees? I really want to taste their mutated fruits."

Da Fei: "Hey, hey! Doesn't anyone care about the danger of this mutated iron birch tree? What if it really becomes a spirit?"

Rihua Yueqing: "The guy upstairs, if you want to know the answer, just read yesterday's comments."

"But I have some new news. I have a friend who works at a research institute. Xiaofeng Mountain is too far away. It is said that they have set their research target on this iron birch tree.

Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly froze.

Although he also understood that the information on the Internet should not be taken as true, judging from an objective point of view, the possibility of him being targeted was really high.

"This won't work now. I have to continue to increase my strength. Once I find the mutated wild boar, I won't kill it. I can just capture it first."

"The search for other large mutated animals must also be accelerated, and the 30 quotas must be filled as soon as possible." Ye Feng said in a low voice.

While changing his plan, he looked through the comments, but there was no useful information at all.

Then, he logged into the official website of Yangcheng Research Institute and took a look.

There was no announcement of sending out another sampling team.

However, four days have passed. In the past few days, things like compensation may have to be dealt with, but there will definitely be follow-up actions after the matter is dealt with.

Otherwise, the research will be put on hold and the losses will only be greater.

"I hope you don't come to target me, otherwise you will be the only ones who are unlucky."

…

Yangcheng Research Institute.

Xu Liang looked a little ugly and returned to his research group.

"How is Professor Xu? Have the funds been allocated?" As soon as he entered the door, a researcher asked eagerly.

Xu Liang nodded first, then shook his head.

Just when everyone felt a little confused, he explained: "I have applied for research funding, but there is a huge gap between the amount and what I applied for."

"Director Liu was very dissatisfied with our last action, which had a great impact, so our research funding for the third phase was drastically reduced to only 5 million."

After hearing Xu Liang's words, the faces of the members in the office changed.

Researcher Yi Weihua said angrily: "Isn't this funny? We used to forget about it, but now that we have preliminary results, they still don't pay attention to it."

The members beside him couldn't help but sigh lightly, "It's not like you don't know the attitude above. All the key projects now are centered around mutant animals. The mutant plants we study can only be regarded as unimportant branches. ”

"What's more, the life liquid we studied is only a theoretical result and cannot be used to produce concrete results. The degree of attention it attaches to is definitely limited."

After hearing this, Yi Weihua, although he knew this was the truth, still said with an unwilling face: "I want the horse to run, but I don't want the horse to eat grass. If we had enough research funds at the beginning, we would have produced results by now. ”

"And it's not just a matter of funding. Administrative support is also far from enough. The Mutation Management Bureau helps other research groups every day to kill mutant animals."

"But what about us! Except for helping us get back a branch at the beginning, we need to find a way to solve all the subsequent tasks ourselves."

His words silenced everyone in the room.

At this time, Xu Liang, the professor leading the group, knew that everyone could not remain silent like this. He coughed lightly and said, "What we have to do now is not to complain, but to think about how to solve the problem."

"Our theoretical research has been completed and the preparation plan has been prepared. The next step is to continue trial and error to successfully extract the 'life liquid'."

"What we lack now is research materials. As long as we are given another 200 kilograms, no, 100 kilograms of branches of the mutated old locust tree, we should be able to extract a life liquid. By then we will have products, and subsequent research funding will not be a problem. ”

"Our current situation is that the theoretical research has been completed and the preparation equipment is already available. The cost of consumables is not much. If you save a little, 2 million can solve the problem."

"So, of the 5 million yuan, we can even spend 3 million to get 100 pounds of branches from the old locust tree. Don't worry if you have any good ideas, just tell us and we will discuss them with each other."

After listening to Xu Liang's words, the expressions of everyone in the venue seemed to be a little more relaxed.

Indeed, putting aside all other issues, it shouldn't be difficult to get 100 kilograms of branches with 3 million Chinese coins.

If it were a peaceful time, let alone 100 kilograms, 100 tons would not be a problem.

As for now...

"Can we use these 3 million Chinese coins to ask the Mutation Management Bureau to take action?" a researcher suggested.

"It might have been possible before, but everyone knows about the rat plague yesterday. Now the Mutation Management Bureau has no time to deal with us, and the 'Four Pests' operation will be launched urgently, so we shouldn't count on them during this time." Xu Liang immediately shook his head.

"Why don't we issue another task to all relevant companies and units? There will always be people who are short of money and willing to accept this task!" Someone else suggested.

Xu Liang shook his head: "It's hard to say. The news that the sampling team was almost wiped out is still on the hot search list. Only one person in the 15-person team survived by chance. It was a real life-or-death struggle."

"Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that this money is not easy to get."

"What's more, we need to find professionals. Otherwise, if we just pull in some people, the probability of mission failure is very high. At that time, not only will we harm them, but our money will also be wasted."

"This 3 million Chinese yuan is our last fund. We can't afford to lose it."

The person who just proposed said: "Then can we choose to complete the task first and then pay?"

Xu Liang was so angry that he laughed, "Then are you willing to go?"

"I want to remind you that only one person came back from the sampling team sent out last time, and the insurance company paid a full 14 million."

"After this incident, the insurance company is no longer willing to accept orders, so there is no insurance for death."

"As long as you are willing to take this task, I will prepare the money immediately, and I will transfer it to your account as soon as the task is completed."

The person who just proposed was choked.

Although 3 million is very tempting, the mission is a life-or-death mission, and there is no compensation for death. Normal people will not accept it.

The atmosphere in the field fell silent again.

At this time, Yi Weihua spoke again: "Why don't we change our thinking. I don't know if you have seen today's danger list."

"The mutant iron birch tree in Sunset Valley has reached a height of 95 meters, which should have a good research value."

"Sunset Valley is much closer, only 20 kilometers, and we have a direct road. If we choose the mutant iron birch tree, the difficulty can be reduced by at least half. Can we change the target?"

Xiaofeng Mountain is 50 kilometers away from them, and the second half of the journey is all mountain roads that are particularly difficult to walk.

In comparison, going to Sunset Valley, saying that the difficulty is reduced by half, is already an understatement.
