You misunderstood, it's not about flying
The next day.
Early morning.
Chu Xuan arrived at the laboratory and found that someone had already arrived at the door; Qian Jinhua was waiting for him with the inspection personnel.
After the meal last night,
having accepted the hospitality,
Qian Jinhua naturally had to take this seriously.
He couldn't afford not to.
Overnight, the news had not only spread throughout the Science and Technology Development Committee, but many people at the Academy of Sciences were also paying attention.
They were all waiting for the results of the Phase I inspection.
Therefore,
Qian Jinhua was even more anxious than Chu Xuan.
"Morning!"
After a brief greeting, Chu Xuan swiped his card to open the door, then swiped again for the cultivation area. Only then did the inspection personnel enter and start working.
Once again, like a swarm of locusts passing through, they left nothing behind.
Even the incubation boxes were placed on steel racks and pushed away.
"..."
Han Duoduo had a look of reluctance; not a single fat earthworm was left. She felt she should have grilled some to eat earlier.
...
The inspection personnel were busy.
Chu Xuan stood at the door, chatting with Qian Jinhua.
"A new batch of cultivation materials will be delivered this afternoon. Is there any equipment you need to add?" Qian Jinhua asked.
"Not for the time being."
"If everything goes well and Phase II is passed, you'll be promoted to Intermediate Researcher. Don't worry, I'll help you apply."
"Much appreciated!"
Chu Xuan was quite interested in the promotion.
In fact,
relying on the improved rapeseed, promoting to Senior Researcher wouldn't be a problem.
However, it would take time.
The completion of Phase II only signifies that it can be inherited for one generation; what happens after the second or third generation still needs time to verify.
Therefore,
it was impossible to reach the top in one step.
But if the inheritance is stable and there are no issues,
even if he achieved nothing in the next few years, he could still be promoted to Senior Researcher by relying on the high-fat rapeseed project.
This is the benefit of an excellent project.
One can continuously accumulate experience; even just by waiting it out, one can reach the qualification for promotion.
While they were chatting,
"Researcher Chu, what's going on here?"
Turning his head, he saw an old acquaintance, Wang Mu.
The 'great gift' from last time had indeed caused him to remain quiet for a while.
"Director Qian, don't be angry. Researcher Chu is still young; it's inevitable to make a few mistakes. We should still give him another chance."
"Sigh!"
"However, a mistake is a mistake."
"..."
Before Chu Xuan could say anything, he heard Wang Mu rambling on.
He wore an expression of 'disappointment in someone who failed to live up to expectations.'
"???"
Haven't you misunderstood something?
In fact,
Wang Mu had indeed misunderstood. Passing by and seeing the steel racks being pushed out, he thought the lab was being cleared out for Chu Xuan to leave.
The last time there was an accident in this laboratory, it was the same scene.
The incubation boxes on the steel racks were all covered with black cloth, so Wang Mu didn't know what was inside.
But that didn't stop him from deducing.
First, it was being emptied.
Second, it had only been a bit over a month. Although he didn't know the specific details, he knew Chu Xuan was still growing rapeseed.
Obviously, the time was too short.
They certainly couldn't be mature yet.
If it wasn't being vacated, what was it?
He thought to himself how clever he was to see through it at a glance. It seemed his previous worries were for nothing; he didn't even need to lift a finger.
The guy could court death all on his own, and so quickly at that.
Thus,
he became even more energetic in his chatter, completely failing to notice the strange look in Qian Jinhua's eyes beside him.
After listening for a while, his ears were practically buzzing.
"Ahem!" Qian Jinhua coughed twice.
He continued, "Professor Wang, you've misunderstood. It's not being vacated; it's an inspection."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Wang Mu was stunned. Inspection?
"Student Chu's project is undergoing Phase I result inspection. You don't need to know the specifics. Go on with your business."
Qian Jinhua waved his hand, unwilling to chat further with him.
"..."
Wang Mu was a bit dumbfounded; this was different from what he had imagined.
"Then... congratulations to Researcher Chu." After squeezing out a smile, he hurriedly left in embarrassment.
...
Half an hour later, the cultivation area was cleared out; not a single box remained.
Qian Jinhua returned to the Inspection Department.
He personally supervised the yield calculation.
Not long after,
the results came out, and he immediately reported upward.
"Very good!"
"Starting tomorrow, expand the cultivation range. This project is very important; treat it as the current top priority."
"Understood!"
Qian Jinhua quickly responded.
Afterward,
three hundred seeds were selected and sent to the Committee, three hundred were kept in cold storage, and a small amount was returned to Chu Xuan.
Most of the rest were transported to the farm in the production area.
...
In the afternoon.
As new soil and other materials were delivered, the project moved into Phase II.
Relatively speaking,
it was much more relaxed.
Because the results in the laboratory were no longer that important; the large-scale experimental fields were the focus now.
So, Chu Xuan became quite leisurely.
"Duoduo, I'm leaving the Phase II experiments all to you. Keep it up!"
"Okay!"
Han Duoduo was excited as she took on the 'heavy' responsibility.
Subsequently, starting from the most basic soil preparation, she became as busy as a little kitten and enjoyed it immensely.
Dealing with mud all day
was better than sitting in a classroom at school.
"The light of dawn will cross the darkness, breaking all fear..."
A song from the old era was playing in her headphones.
