192: The work will last forever

No!

That’s not right!

This temptation isn’t just big; it’s enormous.

All the busy work I’ve done over the past few months, running around, has only accumulated less than two million national treasure value.

Now, I just need to find a new animal, and I can get at least over a million national treasure value as a reward!

In the vast universe, there must be countless unique Alien animals.

This mission is practically handing me national treasure value!

Earth-like planets are hard to find, but planets with unique Alien creatures? Those are a dime a dozen!

“System, are you serious? Even animals not extinct on Earth are acceptable?”

Lin Yang was truly tempted.

“Yes, Host, as long as it is a unique Alien animal, depending on the animal’s value, the reward will be at least a million national treasure value.”

System gave an affirmative answer.

“You…”

Lin Yang blinked.

He was a little confused as to why finding a new animal would yield such a large reward.

But that wasn’t important; what was important was that he seemed to understand why there were items worth hundreds of millions in the national treasure value mall.

It turned out that relying on diligently completing ordinary missions to exchange for those items was unrealistic.

He had to rely on such windfalls.

“System, can you detect if there are any suitable animals on nearby planets?”

“Responding to Host, System can only detect if the current planet has suitable animals once you enter the planet’s interior.”

“Uh… you can’t directly pinpoint planets with suitable animals?” Lin Yang was a bit startled.

“Sorry, Host, currently unable to do so.”

“Alright, so that means I have to land on each planet one by one then.” Lin Yang muttered.

“Yes, Host.”

“How far can Apocalypse travel with the remaining energy?”

“Responding to Host, Apocalypse does not have much energy left. System does not recommend you explore other planets before replenishing energy, as this may prevent you from returning.”

“Alright, it seems I need to prioritize getting some energy.” Lin Yang had a plan in mind.

The top priority now was to immediately get energy!

As for developing technology, that could wait!

With the second Academician’s Dream series mission, why slowly develop anything?

Just get energy to search for new animals, and then directly exchange for high-level technological civilization products in the System mall!

Isn’t this faster than slowly developing?

Although the steps might be a bit too big.

But Unpretty and the others have already sent out cosmic signals.

Who knows when an unknown Alien civilization might arrive.

First, fully protect Earth, then slowly solidify the foundation.

No sooner said than done!

He went directly to find Zhao Zizhen, preparing to ask them to put their current work plans aside and get the energy production started first!

Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology has been in use for so many days, and energy hasn't been fully established yet.

Too slow!

However, before he could even exit the laboratory building, he ran into Zhao Zizhen and Yuan Zhihe.

“Lin, thank you so much! With your help, we’ve successfully cultivated those plant seeds in nature, and they’re growing exceptionally well now. We estimate they can be applied nationwide within three to five years, at which point our country’s air quality can probably double.”

As soon as he saw him, Yuan Zhihe greeted him with a beaming smile, his tone filled with unprecedented excitement.

To be able to complete this step of research in his lifetime, for Yuan Zhihe, was basically enough for him to rest in peace.

“Ah? The air quality nationwide can double? That exaggerated?”

Lin Yang was a bit surprised.

He had previously thought that Yuan Zhihe and the others were so eager to research extinct seeds simply out of a desire for academic study.

He didn’t expect such a significant effect.

“Hehe, not exaggerated, not exaggerated. Those extinct plant seeds, as well as the special seeds given to us for free by the Aliens at Tiangong Base, even though their genes have been modified to better suit our current ecological environment, their original genes are very powerful and have excellent effects in purifying the air!”

Yuan Zhihe laughed heartily.

“As long as they are planted on a large scale, purifying the air nationwide is really not a difficult task, and this is just a preliminary estimate. It’s even possible that after five or ten years, the air quality could increase several times over!”

“This…” Lin Yang was a bit dumbfounded.

Air quality increasing several times over, that’s a bit outrageous, isn’t it?

Zhao Zizhen, standing by, was even more stunned. He stared intently at Old Yuan, incredulously saying, “Old Yuan, you’re not joking, are you? Can those plant seeds really have such a big effect after being introduced into the ecological environment?”

“How could I joke about something like this? Do you really think we’re just idle, using the excuse of researching extinct seeds to get funding?”

Yuan Zhihe glared at Zhao Zizhen: “I told you, you research technology to serve the country, and we research biology, which is equally useful!”

“Cough, cough, I didn’t say that.” Zhao Zizhen gave an awkward laugh.

“Hmph, you didn’t say it, but you still thought it before!” Old Yuan pouted.

Zhao Zizhen was torn between laughter and tears: “You old man, why are you so resentful? Isn’t it enough that I apologize for my past wrong thoughts? If it can truly achieve the effect you mentioned, then it’s ten thousand times better than an air purifier.”

“More than ten thousand times! The two are simply incomparable!”

Yuan Zhihe was very proud.

“Air purifiers can only be used in small areas, and they can only improve the air quality within a specific environment. The effectiveness of the improvement is also a matter of opinion.”

“But once the ecological environment is spread out and enters a healthy cycle, that is beneficial to the entire natural world. People’s bodies will be healthier. Continuously breathing polluted air and completely healthy air are two different things!”

Zhao Zizhen’s expression became much more serious: “Such an important matter, why didn’t you submit a report immediately? If it can really be achieved, this is a great deed that will benefit future generations!”

“For such an important matter, of course, I have to come and tell Lin first! These plant seeds were all improved with his help. We, the Ecology Institute, wouldn’t dare claim the main credit.”

Yuan Zhihe looked at Lin Yang with a serious expression, smilingly saying, “Even if we write a report, it must be submitted with Lin. The primary credit still belongs to Lin. To put it plainly, we just helped cultivate the seeds.”

“So you came here immediately to find Lin to submit the report together?” Zhao Zizhen was stunned.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhihe nodded, eagerly saying to Lin Yang: “Lin, I’ve already drafted the report. Take a look. If there are no issues, I’ll issue the formal report, and you can sign it. Once the report is submitted, you’ll at least be awarded a national-level meritorious honor medal!”

Hearing this, Lin Yang was a bit bewildered.

He hadn’t thought when he sent the seeds and improved the genes that there would be such a great benefit!

This came a bit too suddenly…
