Next, it's my turn to show off
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
May 17th.
Morning.
Chu Xuan arrived at the General Affairs Department of the N3 Experimental Base.
"Hmm?"
"Just graduated? Are you kidding me?" The person handling the laboratory handover looked at Chu Xuan's information and thought there had been a mistake.
He was so young; how could it be?
But after verifying, they found there was no mistake.
"This kid has some wild ways about him!"
They sighed inwardly and quickly completed the paperwork.
Chu Xuan obtained the authorization, followed the other person, and arrived at the N3-4 zone, where N3 was the Experimental Base number and 4 was the level.
The entire area consisted of level four facilities.
I have to say.
High levels certainly make a big difference.
In his previous internship laboratory, the walls were covered in mottled rust, the equipment was mediocre, and the area was very small.
However.
Here.
He finally saw what an Experimental Base should look like.
Bright corridors with people in white coats coming and going.
The vibe had completely changed!
"It's here, come on in."
They arrived at the assigned laboratory, N3-4-36.
With a beep, they swiped the card to enter.
From the moment the information was entered just now, only Chu Xuan and his trainees would be allowed to enter this laboratory in the future.
Of course.
In special circumstances, the Experimental Base personnel could also enter.
But they had to follow procedure, and the management was very strict.
"Here, this is the handover checklist. Check it over, and if there are no problems, sign your name," the handover personnel said.
"Alright!"
He took the list, scanned it at a glance, and began to verify.
The laboratory was public property; reporting damage was generally fine, but losing things was absolutely forbidden. The nature of the two was different.
The entire laboratory covered an area of eight hundred square meters.
It was divided into four areas.
Resting.
Office.
Experimental.
Planting.
Among them, the largest was, of course, the planting area, where various incubators were densely arranged.
Currently, the incubators were all empty.
He would have to submit an application before the necessary items would be shipped over.
After a careful check, there were no problems.
Swish!
He signed his name on the handover sheet, the handover personnel left, and Chu Xuan was left alone in the laboratory.
Looking at the spacious environment.
"Awesome!"
This finally looked a bit like a research facility.
...
Unlike the place where he interned.
Although there was surveillance here, Chu Xuan could turn it off, so he shut it down everywhere except for the planting area.
After strolling around his own territory, Chu Xuan went to the office.
The area wasn't large, but the renovation was nice.
A separate small room with three workstations, each equipped with a computer.
The chairs were no longer hard stools but ergonomic office chairs, which were standard equipment only in level four or higher laboratories.
Admittedly, equality was often emphasized.
But could things ever be completely equal?
He sat and leaned back in the chair.
If it weren't for the fact that there was absolutely no view outside the window, Chu Xuan would have almost thought he had returned to the days before the catastrophe when he was a junior manager.
Unfortunately, he couldn't go back.
...
He opened the computer, typing away with his fingers moving like shadows.
A material application was quickly completed.
Soil.
Various mineral powders.
Fertilizer.
...
Depending on the plants' needs, laboratories usually prepared these themselves.
After writing it, he sent the application to the Experimental Base logistics department.
Agreed delivery time: tomorrow!
Next.
Chu Xuan opened a new file and continued typing.
[Project Application]
[Project: high-fat rapeseed - gain-type mutation variety]
There weren't many details; this was just a project registration. As for the seed source, he could just explain it as an accident during his last experiment.
Such things were too common.
During experiments, sometimes an accident could lead to the birth of the next project.
As for accidental results, it didn't matter if they weren't reported beforehand; in the eyes of the United Government, they were all human achievements.
Therefore, Chu Xuan didn't need to rack his brain to make up excuses.
In a few minutes, it was done and sent!
...
This time it wasn't sent to the school, but to the United Government Science and Technology Development Committee, an organization dedicated to review.
Just like the selection of academicians for the United Government Academy of Sciences.
No recommendation was needed.
One could apply on their own.
Subsequently.
The Science and Technology Development Committee would evaluate whether it met the standards based on the value the technology brought to humanity.
The committee was of a very high standard.
The military.
The government.
The Academy of Sciences.
All three parties conducted strict reviews together.
They didn't look at seniority, only at technical value, and there was no fixed quota.
In other words, if all applicants this year failed to meet the standards.
Then, not a single new academician would be produced that year.
This honor was a lifetime appointment.
...
United Government Science and Technology Development Committee Headquarters.
Project Review Room.
A large number of applications arrived every day.
"Hmm?"
"Gain-type mutation rapeseed? From a level four laboratory, and the applicant is a recent college graduate?"
"Another waste of resources."
The reviewer shook his head slightly, moved his fingers, and approved it!
Although he wasn't optimistic, he didn't reject it.
This was a project review; as long as there was a reasonable explanation and it wasn't too outrageous, it would pass.
Moreover, the requested experimental period was only three months; it would only reach the rejection standard for this type of project if it were a year.
It was only about a hundred days anyway.
If it wasn't successful, when the project ended, the committee's review result would leave a red mark on the applicant's resume.
...
On the other side.
Chu Xuan hadn't expected the committee's review efficiency to be so high; it passed in less than five minutes.
Fine!
Next, it's my turn to show off.
