Time is still on Catherine's way to the United States.

Let us turn our attention to an American in China.

Drizzt, the agricultural expert Catherine once hired, is now Catherine's standard bearer in the primary industry.

At this moment, Drizzt was resting in the biology laboratory. Drizzt, who had just finished the slice observation, was a little tired at this time.

Compared with Catherine's research in various aspects, Drizzt's research does not seem to be so "science fiction" from all angles. But in fact, the actions he is engaged in are indeed very professional "science fiction"

"field.

Well, when used in agriculture, this description may be a bit exaggerated, but Drizzt's actions are undoubtedly science fiction.

The reason is for no other reason than what Drizzt studies - perennial crops.

"Dr. Drizzt, our experiment has results!"

A Chinese assistant came in.

This question is very simple, because Drizzt is currently cooperating with China.

"How's it going?"

"More than half of the crops in the experimental fields are continuing to grow, which is similar to the predicted results."

The other person was very young, a recent college graduate. He was communicating with Drizzt in half-baked English.

"Great. You go and continue to observe, and I will send a message to the country." The country Drizzt said was the United States.

"Okay, Mr. Drizzt."

After the other party left, the professor also returned to the experimental field.

"Xiao Li, have you told Professor Drizzt?" Another Chinese professor wearing round-rimmed glasses saw the young man coming back and asked.

"Yes, he said he would send a message back to the United States."

After saying that, the young man named Xiao Li focused his attention on the field. His expression was a little confused.

"Xiao Li, is there anything you don't understand?" The professor saw Xiao Li's doubts.

"Hmm. The yield of these perennial crops is obviously not high, so why does the country pay so much attention to it?"

Xiao Li was confused and confused.

The professor chuckled. Of course he knew Xiao Li's doubts.

People always make many important choices unintentionally: Ten thousand years ago, when people cultivated wild crops, they chose annual crops.

Wheat, rice, corn and other grains that feed billions of people are annual crops. These grains repeat this process every year: they slowly sprout from a seed, then produce new seeds, and finally wither.

"Xiao Li, do you know that in this world, most plants are perennial, why do we choose annual crops?"

Hearing the professor's question, Xiao Li seemed to have some impressions in his mind. But after thinking for a long time, he found that he still couldn't remember it, so he had to say: "This is because of the high output..."

The professor shook his head: "The reason for this can be traced back to history. People choose annual crops not because they are better, but because farmers in the new era have made them develop rapidly. For example, they have grown from vigorous crops to

The seeds obtained from the crops are then used for planting, year after year, so that the quality of the seeds becomes better and better. Perennial crops do not benefit from this selective breeding.

Benefit because they do not need to be planted again. Their natural advantage has become an obstacle. Moreover, from a risk perspective, perennial crops are subject to more planting risks. For farmers at that time

"We cannot bear this risk. No one can guarantee that the weather will be smooth for several consecutive years without floods or droughts. Therefore, perennial crops have become unpopular."

As expected of a professor, he pointed out the problem immediately.

"Actually, we didn't originally want to study perennial crops, but Mr. Traister strongly suggested that we develop it. That's how we came up with this project. I also had a negative attitude towards perennial crops at the time, but after studying it, I

I found this to be a really good thing.”

The professor admired.

"If you look at these crops: the deep and dense rhizome system can provide sufficient energy for the new growth of the plant every spring. This not only makes the plant grow vigorously, but also the resources can be fully utilized. So it will not be like going through

As annual plants were selected over thousands of years, a huge amount of food production was wasted."

Although annual crops have high yields, their rhizomes are very short and can only extend to the surface layer of the soil. Therefore, the nutrients in this layer of soil are quickly depleted, and people have to apply fertilizer to maintain yields. Relatively speaking,

, multi-year crops can solve exactly this series of problems. They can keep the soil from being exposed, reducing the impact of erosion and the need for pesticides. Deep root systems can stabilize the soil and make poor soil suitable for growing crops.

This is what Drizzt used to persuade China.

Reducing the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides while stabilizing the soil is a very big advantage.

In fact, if Drizzt came to China after 1998, he might have received more support.

Although in plain areas, the yield of these perennial crops is much less than that of annual crops, in places with steep slopes and harsh climates, the situation is exactly the opposite. For China, this means that the entire west can use these crops

Crop promotion.

"By the way, let me tell you something... these perennial crops... taste better."

"Uh..." Xiao Li was originally from the Department of Foreign Languages, but because of the country's needs, he came here to act as a half-translator and assistant. But although Xiao Li has studied this agricultural subject unexpectedly, sometimes he still looks confused.

.

"Let's put it this way, which one do you think is more fragrant, Northeast rice or hybrid rice?"

"Of course it's Northeast rice!" Xiao Li blurted out.

The professor nodded: "Hybrid rice is fast-growing, and rice in Northeast China takes a long time to grow. That's why."

A simpler example is native chicken and feed chicken. The nutritional value of the two is actually similar, but the native chicken with a longer growth period tastes better. This is because the other has a longer growth period and has different body composition.

Of course, the underlying truth is not just that simple, but the professor knew that he wanted to popularize science for Xiao Li, so it would be simpler to say it this way.

"It's just a foreigner. Why would he travel thousands of miles to come to China to help us develop agriculture?" Xiao Li finally asked in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense! Dr. Drizzt is an old friend of our Chinese people. He is an international friend with a great international spirit. How could he have a special purpose?!"

"Well."

It seems to be the case. When Drizzt came to China for the first time, he told Barabala a lot of insidious stories about Americans manipulating the primary industry. He also told the Chinese to be more vigilant and specially made a blacklist for the Chinese side.

.

Drizzt is indeed a good person with an international spirit.

"What a great international warrior!"

Xiao Li suddenly felt that Drizzt's image had become taller.

"Ah sneeze——"

On the other side, Drizzt finished his phone call and was walking back when he suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Miss Catherine's taste is becoming more and more picky. These perennial crops taste better and she will definitely like them." Drizzt muttered: "The next step is genetically modified crops. Those who have threatened me, I will

Let you know what a food war is. One day, I will counterattack the United States!"

…

On the other side, Catherine finally returned to her hometown.

"Dr. Hawking."

After entering the Hive Laboratory, Catherine came to see Mr. Hawking.

"Miss Edson." This Hawking looks very different from the Hawking in history.

He is no longer paraplegic, can still speak, and is full of energy. He is just like a young man.

"Miss Edson, regarding retrieving your spare body, we can now start the operation."

After hearing what Hawking said, Catherine asked: "What should we do?"

Hawking sent relevant information to Catherine directly through the neural connection device.

The neural connection device is the unique technology of the Ark Group. It is a special existence formed by the human brain itself and the chip. This is a special technological product that is absolutely not available in the original world.

When Hawking transmitted the data to Catherine, a virtual window popped up in front of Catherine's eyes. This virtual window seemed to appear in a science fiction movie, which was the prompt of the neural connection device.

Catherine has a universal interface, which can be connected to the neural device, which makes Catherine more comfortable in controlling the neural connection device.

After Catherine received the information, she immediately started watching it.

Hawking explained from the side: "Although your brain structure is still the same as that of a human brain, your thinking system is different from other people's. It exists more as a 'receiver'. If we will

If your quantum signal is 'broadcast', this individual, as a 'receiver', will receive your signal, allowing you to intervene in your thinking."

"It seems so powerful." Catherine was very impressed by this research.

"This is not the result of our research, I just made this broadcasting device."

"Okay, when can we get started?"

Catherine asked curiously.

"Any time."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start now!"

Catherine was full of expectations for the next action.

"So, how long does it take to set Miss Edson? Once the consciousness is projected, we will not receive your feedback, so we need to set a return time."

Catherine thought for a while and then said: "Let's give it three days. I think this time is enough for me to escape. These people probably just think that it is just a puppet, and there should not be too strict restraints.

"

Catherine is still very confident in the physical fitness of her 17-year-old self.

"Once your consciousness is projected to the backup body, your abilities cannot be used because your true body is still in this world."

"Well, that's not a problem. I think my physical fitness is strong enough. It shouldn't be a problem if I want to escape."

Catherine guessed that her current body should still be in Japan, and if possible, she would be able to find the Hive Laboratory.

"But this kind of projection ability sounds pretty good. It would be good if it could be done at night. Maybe I can put my consciousness anywhere in the world."

"——Not everyone's brain and body can accept this special and ambiguous quantum message."

Hawking said this.

Moreover, except for Catherine's main body and backup body, the 21 bodies that Catherine currently manages as the command tower have no brains. Although they have human bodies, there is nothing in the brains...

"Really, that's a shame - then let's get started."

Catherine was very interested in what was going to happen next.

Although, she doesn't know what will happen when the time comes.

…

And less than 1,000 kilometers away from Catherine, a monster was lurking in the woods.

Although the western United States is mostly wild wilderness, there are also a lot of woodlands along the mountains and terrain.

In front of the monster is a camp.

It was night at the moment, and the people in the camp had just held a carnival party. It was already time to "do what you love to do."

Not far from these people, there is a military cordon, with signs on it saying "No photography," "No entry," and even "Authorized to use lethal weapons" and other slogans.

These people are alien enthusiasts.

Not far away is the Area 51 base.

As the world-famous yet most mysterious Area 51, it is definitely one of the most "mysterious" places in modern times.

Since the news about aliens was exposed a year ago, this place has become the best "tourist destination" for these enthusiasts.

Just like it is now.

Of course, as to whether they come here to do these adult sports because they are bored watching aliens, or whether they come here because they want to do these adult sports... well, who knows.

The monster remained silent and quietly passed through the crowd.

In fact, the current monsters don’t understand why they do what they do.

Originating from human consciousness, it drives every move of the monster, but as far as the monster himself is concerned, he doesn't even understand why he appears in this place.

"..."

As if to prevent being discovered, the monster suddenly stopped in front of the cordon, and then, his skin quickly began to darken.

It wasn't until his figure turned completely black that the monster jumped up and crossed the cordon.

"Cooperation...information...here..."

After that, the monster sneaked into it without saying a word.

About half an hour later, John came out of the tent, feeling refreshed.

"What a wonderful night." He praised.

This small camp was set up by John and two others, and their purpose was to "observe aliens up close."

Of course, this is more of an excuse.

As far as John was concerned, he just wanted to try out the pleasure of doing these things in the open air.

Obviously, this feels very good.

"John~ do you want to continue?"

The black girl in the tent seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her desires. Although she had just vented her desire, John found that he was now ready to make a move.

"I'm going to the toilet and I'll be back soon~"

John also had a lustful expression on his face, but physical problems still needed to be solved.

Taking two steps to the side, John untied the belt of his trousers that he had just fastened.

"Oh, damn!"

Just as he was preparing to solve his physical problem, John suddenly realized that he seemed to have stepped into a puddle.

Surprisingly, someone has solved physical problems here before...

But why is it sticky? Is it stool?

Fighting back his nausea, John shined his flashlight.

Not poop.

but……

"What is this thing?"

Green mucus makes people feel sick no matter how they look at it.

"John~"

That cute little black girl is screaming again.

"Whatever, this disgusting thing."

He wiped it with his shoes twice, then hurriedly poured out the water, and hurried back.

Wenrou Township is a Tomb of Heroes, this is absolutely true.

Of course, John is not a hero, he is just a 2B-certified young man from the United States with a sperm-addled brain.

However, things are often unexpected.

Just at this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in Area 51 not far away.

"What the hell, are you here to catch us?!"

John was startled.

But then I thought about it, the US military already knew what they were doing here.

In fact, there are two similar campsites nearby.

He immediately picked up the telescope - it was used by them to observe the base during the day, but it was not put to use yet.

"John, what happened?"

The little black girl put on her coat and walked out. At this time, everyone else also woke up from sleep or pleasant activities.

"It seems something happened..."

"alien?!"

Suddenly, someone thought of their purpose.

Although there is a high probability that these people will come and do bad things, it cannot be ruled out that some of them really want to find aliens.

"It can't be true, can it?"

John didn't quite believe it. In fact, if it weren't for the chance to go crazy once, John wouldn't have come to this place at all.

At this time, the people next to him also became interested, picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.

"Oh - what is that?!"

Suddenly, this man seemed to have discovered something incredible.

John was a little surprised and immediately looked through the telescope.

"this--"

A terrifying monster.

The monster was fully exposed under the searchlight.

For a moment, John thought of the pile of green slime on the ground.

"Really...aliens?!"

…

Two chapters in one!

Offering integrity~

Having said that, for the outer chapter, we might as well go to Mass Effect first, and for interstellar, when the time comes, we can cooperate with prison battleships and other things to write the inner chapter together... (To be continued...)
