42: Chapter 42: The Mother of Four – An Intellectual and Gentle Agricultural Expert

"Comrade Lin Yun, these are the three top experts in the field of agronomy that our Ministry of Agriculture has managed to find so far."

Elder Chen pointed to the three detailed resumes on the screen, his face showing a trace of fatigue and anxiety.

After the global food crisis erupted, the pressure on the Longguo Ministry of Agriculture became unprecedentedly immense.

Although they had Lin Yun's "black technology seeds" as a glimmer of hope, turning this hope into reality required the most professional talent.

Lin Yun's gaze swept across the screen.

The first was a gray-haired old professor; his theoretical knowledge was solid, but he seemed somewhat conservative when it came to practice.

The second was a young and promising male expert with a dazzling resume, but there was a hint of restlessness between his brows, and he seemed more focused on fame and fortune.

Lin Yun's gaze finally settled on the third resume.

"Academician Su Qingyu."

Lin Yun whispered the name.

The woman in the photo was wearing a simple white lab coat, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and her long, jet-black hair was tied into a simple ponytail.

Her face was devoid of heavy makeup, possessing only an intellectual and gentle temperament.

What attracted Lin Yun the most were her eyes.

In those eyes, there was not a trace of worldly restlessness, only awe for nature, a love for the land, and a dedication to life.

Her resume also appeared unique.

She was not the type of scholar who only knew how to publish papers while sitting in an office.

Her research focused on "plant growth mechanisms under extreme climate conditions" and "sustainable development of ecological agriculture."

She had repeatedly ventured deep into impoverished border regions to guide local farmers in agricultural technological innovation, even rolling up her sleeves to plant experimental crops on the edge of the desert.

Her hands bore calluses from long-term labor, which appeared particularly unique for an "expert."

"Academician Su Qingyu is currently the youngest academician at our Longguo Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Xiao Zhang added from the side.

"She gave up many high-paying positions to persist on the front lines of agricultural research."

"Most of her research funding came out of her own pocket; she even sold her own property just to continue her experiments."

"She has a dream: she hopes that one day, all the land across the globe will be able to bear abundant fruit, and that every single person will be able to have a full meal."

When Xiao Zhang said this, his eyes were full of admiration.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth.

He knew he had found her.

This was precisely the S-level potential the system was looking for—someone with an ultimate understanding of "life catalysis" and "ecological balance"!

Her "benevolent heart" was different from Mitsui Reiko's.

Mitsui Reiko represented universal healthcare, the repair and continuation of life itself.

Whereas Academician Su Qingyu represented universal benefit to all living things, the root of the origin of life—food!

"Elder Chen, it will be her."

Lin Yun's voice was very soft, yet it carried an unquestionable decision.

Elder Chen and Xiao Zhang exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

They knew that Lin Yun's choices were never wrong.

"I will immediately arrange for someone to invite Academician Su!"

Elder Chen said excitedly.

However, Academician Su Qingyu's arrival was somewhat unexpected.

She was not "invited" over; rather, she "barged" in herself.

"Mr. Lin Yun! Please, save Longguo's agriculture!"

Academician Su Qingyu was wearing a lab coat covered in dirt, her hair was disheveled, and there were mud spots on her face, yet nothing could conceal the anxiety and earnestness in her eyes.

She did not knock on the door but rushed straight into Lin Yun's temporary office.

Behind her followed several anxious guards, but they seemed unable to do anything about this "crazy" academician.

"Academician Su, please mind your behavior!"

The head of the guard team looked grim, wanting to stop her.

Lin Yun waved his hand, signaling the guards to step back.

He looked at this dust-covered agricultural expert, a flash of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

This was the person he had been looking for.

Her pure and fervent heart, her deep emotions for the land and food, were written all over her face.

"Academician Su, please sit."

Lin Yun pointed to the sofa opposite him, his tone gentle.

Academician Su Qingyu did not sit down; instead, she knelt on one knee directly in front of Lin Yun, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands.

"Mr. Lin Yun, I know you are the hope of Longguo!"

"You have created countless miracles, from chips to exoskeletons, and then to gene repair fluid!"

"I know you must have a way to save our land and save our farmers!"

Her voice trembled with excitement, and there were even tears in her eyes.

"In these years, I have traveled to all the impoverished mountainous areas of Longguo, and I have seen with my own eyes how farmers work hard, only to have no harvest due to natural disasters."

"I have seen with my own eyes how children are sallow and thin due to malnutrition, and are even unable to complete their education!"

"Now that the global food crisis has erupted and international grain prices are skyrocketing, if Longguo cannot be self-sufficient, what will happen to our hundreds of millions of compatriots!"

Academician Su Qingyu's words were pearls of wisdom, carrying a power that struck straight to the heart.

She was not pleading for herself, but for the hundreds of millions of farmers in Longguo, and for the food and clothing of all mankind.

Lin Yun watched her quietly, feeling the pure and powerful "life energy fluctuation" emanating from her.

Her genetic sequence contained an extremely rare "ecological regulation factor," giving her extraordinary perception and influence over plant growth and environmental adaptability.

Her S-level potential was shining brightly through this dedication and love for agriculture!

"Academician Su, please stand up and speak."

Lin Yun reached out to help her up, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation.

"I understand your concerns."

"I also see your dream."

"I assure you that Longguo will not let a single compatriot go hungry."

"Nor will we let those forces that attempt to manipulate us through the food crisis succeed!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Academician Su Qingyu's eyes.

"Mr. Lin Yun, do, do you really have a way?"

Lin Yun just smiled faintly and did not answer directly.

He turned around, took a document from the drawer, and handed it to Academician Su Qingyu.

"Academician Su, this document is about the 'Pangu Project'."

"I hope you can become the fourth core member of the 'Pangu Project,' in charge of the 'ecological agriculture' field."

Academician Su Qingyu took the document and opened it with some confusion.

When she saw the words "black technology seeds," "ecological restoration," and "life catalysis" on the document, her body shuddered violently, and an unprecedented fanaticism erupted in her eyes!

"This... this is actually real?!"

Academician Su Qingyu's voice changed tone from excitement.

She had always thought that these technologies, which only existed in science fiction novels, were unattainable dreams!

"The 'Pangu Project' needs you."

Lin Yun walked up to her, looking at her with burning eyes.

"It needs you even more to conceive an S-level offspring for the 'Pangu Project'—one that can completely change the global agricultural landscape!"

Academician Su Qingyu's delicate body shuddered violently, and two blushes quietly appeared on her face.

She looked up abruptly at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun's gaze was deep and full of expectation, without a hint of frivolity.

She knew that Lin Yun was not joking.

This was the most direct and solemn "invitation" he had issued to her.

An indescribable and complex emotion surged in her heart.

Shyness, shock, excitement, and a sense of mission as both a woman and an agricultural expert!

For the sake of her dream, for the sake of that land they relied on for survival, for the sake of the hundreds of millions of compatriots in Longguo...

She was willing!

"I... I am willing!"

Although Academician Su Qingyu's voice was trembling, it was full of firmness.

In her eyes, there was a glimmer of longing for the future and trust in Lin Yun.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yun's face.

"Very good."

Lin Yun reached out and gently held Academician Su Qingyu's hand.

"Then, from today on, you are the person in charge of the 'Pangu Project's' ecological agriculture branch, and also my fourth... 'cooperation' partner."

[Ding! Detected that the host's fourth S-level offspring is about to be conceived! Its birth will be accompanied by a 'birth gift' sufficient to change the global agricultural landscape!]

[Congratulations to the host, your fourth S-level offspring is being conceived, the system is about to reward: "Ecological Balance Gene Regulation Technology!"]

The system's notification sound rang in Lin Yun's mind.

A look of ecstatic joy flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.

Ecological Balance Gene Regulation Technology?!

This was not just simple "black technology seeds"!

This was the ultimate technology capable of fundamentally changing the global ecological environment, turning deserts into oases, and bringing barren land back to life!

This meant that the global food crisis would completely become history!

This meant that Longguo would control the global "lifeline"!

Lin Yun knew that this "birth gift" would change the way humanity lived more profoundly than any previous black technology!

It would completely subvert humanity's understanding of land, climate, and ecology!

He seemed to see that in the near future, the world's deserts would turn into fertile fields, barren land would bear abundant fruit, and hunger would completely disappear from the Earth!

And all of this would be created by Longguo's "Pangu Project," by him, Lin Yun, with his own hands!

"Mr. Lin Yun, what is wrong?"

Academician Su Qingyu felt Lin Yun's excitement and asked with some confusion.

Lin Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm the excitement in his heart.

He turned around and looked at Academician Su Qingyu with burning eyes.

"Qingyu, our child will bring an unprecedented 'green miracle' to human civilization!"

His voice carried an unquestionable certainty and unprecedented excitement.

Although Academician Su Qingyu did not understand exactly what Lin Yun was referring to, she could feel the powerful confidence and longing for the future in Lin Yun's tone.

A smile of excitement also appeared on her face, and her heart was full of anticipation for the new life.

She knew that what Lin Yun brought was never a simple miracle.

And this time, what she and Lin Yun's child would bring was something even more capable of changing the destiny of all mankind...

"A gift of bountiful harvest!"

She suddenly felt that the mission she bore was more sacred and great than ever before!

She had a faint premonition that this "gift of bountiful harvest" might be the ultimate weapon for humanity in its struggle against hunger!
