Chapter 336 Alien Star
Blue Star, China, in the chief’s office.
Jian Yongjiang was sitting in a chair in front of his desk in a military uniform, his back straight. He looked at the old man behind the desk with a very serious expression.
"Chief, we have already investigated clearly. The strange phenomena that occurred in several countries such as Country M and Peacock Country some time ago were not the testing of any new military weapons."
"Hmm!" The old man behind the desk picked up the teacup and took a sip. After pondering for a moment, he turned his head to look at the elegant old man diagonally opposite.
"Could it be true, as Dean Zhong said, that the sudden appearance of an alien star caused the dramatic change in the celestial phenomena?"
Wende crossed his hands, placed them under his lips, and frowned into the shape of a "川" character.
"It's hard to say! Old Zhong also made his guess based on the feedback from the Astronomical Research Department. Who could have made the time of the strange phenomena in several countries and the time of the appearance of the strange star so coincidental?"
The chief nodded. "Regarding this alien planet, have Lao Zhong and his team made any progress?"
"No!" Wende shook his head, his expression very serious. "This alien star doesn't quite match the planets, stars, neutron stars, white dwarfs, etc. that we know of. It's probably a new type of star, but it's too far away, and what we can observe is very limited! Lao Zhong and the others don't have any good solutions."
"Oh!" The old man lay back, his body sinking into the back of the chair. He closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.
"I've been feeling a little uneasy lately, and it feels like something big is going to happen!"
Wende and Jian Yongjiang looked at each other and said nothing.
"Oh right!" The old man suddenly opened his eyes. "How is the Immortal Path Awakening Plan going now?"
"I was just about to report to you, Commander!" Jian Yongjiang said solemnly, "At the previous meeting, we proposed to use the capital verification stones to screen out people with spiritual roots in the military under the pretext of trials. Our plan is to proceed in the order of North China, East China, Central China, Southwest China, and Northwest China. Currently, the North China Military Region is the first to be launched. However, due to the scarcity of capital verification stones, the progress is relatively slow. As of yesterday, the test in North China was just completed. Here are the relevant materials, please review it, Commander!"
After saying that, Jian Yongjiang took out a document bag marked "Top Secret" from his briefcase and handed it over.
After the old man took it, he couldn't wait to open the document and began to read it.
For a moment, the only sound in the office was the occasional sound of turning pages.
Three minutes later, the old man gently placed the materials on the desk and said, "Only 153 people have spiritual roots!"
Seeing the old man's frown, Wende quickly comforted him, "Commander, it's not a small number! I've also been cramming a lot of knowledge on cultivating immortals recently. Even in novels, those who have spiritual roots and the qualifications to cultivate immortals are only one in a million. We have only more than 40 people in the North China Military Region, so this probability is already very high!"
Jian Yongjiang beside him also nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Commander. North China is just the beginning. We have other districts. Besides the people in the military district, we still have so many civilians!"
After being comforted by the two, the old man's brows relaxed a little, "Commander Jian, you must personally focus on this work! Try to complete it as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" Jian Yongjiang puffed out his chest and responded in a deep voice.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Wende, "Vice Chairman Wen! The development of Wumeng Mountain must also be accelerated! How is the construction of the institute of Huazhong University of Science and Technology going?"
"It was completed ten days ago! Academician Cheng and his team have all moved in, and the spiritual soil and experimental base have also been completed. Although the spiritual soil that Bai Yatou brought back last time was quite a bit, it was still too little for the entire Wumeng Mountain. Currently, the spiritual energy improvement effect near Wumeng Mountain is not obvious!"
After Wende finished speaking, he sighed again, "Bai girl and the others have been gone for a really long time this time! It's been almost a month on Blue Star. According to their time conversion, they have been there for almost half a year!"
"Yes!" The old man's brows, which had just relaxed slightly, knitted tightly together again, "I don't know what happened to them, but please don't..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Before the old man finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
He reached out and picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, "Hey, go ahead!"
The phone had good soundproofing. Wende and Jian Yongjiang couldn't hear what was said on the other end. They just saw the old man raise his eyebrows and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
"Okay! I got it! Please ask them to rest first! Please arrange a video call with them for me later!"
After putting down the phone, the old man smiled and said, "This person really can't stand being talked about! Speak of the devil and he will appear!"
Wende's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Bai Yatou and the others are back?"
“Not bad!” The old man nodded slightly. “Just got back! I asked them to rest first and then I’ll video chat with them later.”
The old man paused, a hint of anticipation flashed in the depths of his eyes, "I wonder if they have brought back enough spiritual soil this time!"
In the experimental building of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology branch, Bailongma Group, Shanghai.
"Spiritual soil?" Seeing Hong Chunlai looking at her expectantly, Bai Yaoyao smiled, "Of course I brought it back! And the amount will definitely surprise you!"
"Really?!" Hong Chunlai's eyes lit up with surprise. "Then I have to report this good news to Dean Zhong and Academician Cheng! They will be very happy when they know it! Academician Su and his team have already moved to Wumeng Mountain, and they are guarding her saplings every day and are unwilling to move!"
Bai Yaoyao smiled without saying anything, but she was very happy in her heart!
It’s better to be at home!
Although the air was turbid and lacked spiritual energy, she felt very at ease when she stepped on the familiar land and listened to the familiar local accent.
The most important thing is that she hasn't had a good chat with anyone for nearly five months while staying under the Eye of the Spiritual Spring, so after Chen Yingjie successfully established his foundation, she returned to Blue Star without thinking twice.
but……
This timing seems a bit unfortunate?
Bai Yaoyao cast her gaze towards Murong Liuguang, who was covered in bird feathers and had tattered clothes, looking worse than a beggar.
"Liu Guang, you...what's wrong with you?!"
Murong Liuguang had been holding it in for a long time. When he heard Bai Yaoyao's words, he finally couldn't help but wail, "Sister Yaoyao! Why did you come back at this time instead of earlier or later? I just caught a blue phoenix and was taming it when I heard the countdown from the system! Give me another ten minutes! No! Five minutes! I will definitely be able to tame it!"
Murong Liuguang stared at Bai Yaoyao with resentment, "Sister Yaoyao, didn't you say last time that if there was no emergency, you would give us some buffer time before returning to Blue Star..."
Seeing Murong Liuguang's eyes, Bai Yaoyao smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry! I was homesick and anxious to go back home, and I forgot about the promise I made to you guys. Next time, next time I will definitely do it! Um..."
Bai Yaoyao quickly changed the subject, "What did you get this time? Did you get any immortal cultivation books or elixirs?"
