Chapter 23 This is also very good
Wei Heng thought about the information sent by the captain two days ago, thought about it, and quickly caught up with Gu Xi.

Now that a decision has been made to completely separate from the past, it is better to clarify some things as soon as possible.

"Gu Xi, to be honest, I really didn't know them before." He walked up to Gu Xi in two or three steps, and said backwards.

"Then you know each other now?" Gu Xi turned her head and glanced at him with a smile.

Wei Heng nodded: "Yes, I admit it. It was the first time I saw you planting sweet potatoes like that that day, and the coefficient of variation of the sweet potatoes you planted was still so low. In a moment of excitement, I couldn't hold back and reported the news..."

Wei Heng's attitude was very sincere, Gu Xi stared at him for a while, and then said calmly: "Okay, I know about it."

Wei Heng: "..." Ah, that's it?Won't you say anything else?

At this time, little sweet girl Qin Yi came over with two dimples: "Gu Xi, do you have anything to bring? I'll ask Brother Shen to bring it back this afternoon."

Between the words, it seems that she does not shy away from the close relationship between her and Shen Yue.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise, "He's coming back this afternoon?"

"That's right." Qin Yi said with a smile: "Brother Shen is escorting Professor Xu back to the camp at the moment, and will escort another batch of important materials over later..."

Gu Xi nodded and said nothing.

Since Shen Yue appeared, the attitude of the two sisters towards her has obviously changed.

They were even offering to tell her something.

Just like the... explanation?
Everyone has their own secrets, and Gu Xi is not the kind of person who is particularly curious. As long as they don't treat her maliciously, she will not explore other people's secrets too much.

On the contrary, Wei Heng took a look at Qin Yi, and tried to test it with a look of ridicule: "I said Qin Yi, how long have you known Shen Yue? You called me brother?"

Qin Yi said calmly: "Brother Shen and I have known each other for more than ten years. He saved the lives of my sister and me back then, so why can't he call me Brother?"

Then she looked at Gu Xi, and changed the subject: "However, to be honest, I didn't expect to see Brother Shen here..."

What Qin Yi said was the truth.

Before Shen Yue appeared, the sisters did not receive the notice from above, so when they first saw Shen Yue in the morning, the two sisters were also taken aback.

At this moment, Gu Xi's footsteps paused slightly.

Just when Qin Yi wondered if he said something wrong and self-defeating, Gu Xi suddenly walked towards the upland rice plant over there.

After Wei Heng and her exchanged a glance, he hurriedly followed.

They found that Gu Xi looked at these mutated upland rice very seriously.

Is there something wrong with these mutant upland rice?

The two were at a loss, and both were a little confused.

Over there, Professor Zhao, who was sampling the soil, saw a few young people watching around his mutated upland rice plant, and walked over with a smile on his face.

"This is the latest mutant upland rice variety—Experiment No. [-]—that our research institute has bred to stabilize the coefficient of variation of crops. Its stability is the most stable among all cereal crops, but it's not stable enough..."

Gu Xi came to a sudden, no wonder she felt that these plants were a bit strange, compared with the sweet potatoes she had grown with the same method before, their mutation speed was obviously much slower.

For those mutated sweet potatoes, after a morning of natural growth, the coefficient of variation at this moment may have reached about 3.

But according to Gu Xi's visual inspection, the coefficient of variation of these mutant upland rice should not exceed 1.

Moreover, they have already entered the earing stage. Professor Zhao also said that at the natural growth rate of these mutant upland rice, they can be harvested in at most two days.

The rice that Gu Xi has seen before is presented in the form of food, not to mention the mutant upland rice, and he has never even seen a normal rice plant.

She originally thought that such a difference might just be due to the different growth characteristics of different crops...

But now, after hearing what Professor Zhao said, Gu Xi realized that the country has not done nothing in these years!

The mutant upland rice in front of me is the best proof.

The country she had fought for for many years is still in a chaotic state of "separatist regimes" after the end of the world. Not only has it begun to reorganize and resume production in an orderly manner, but it has also cultivated a high-yielding experimental number one. And can effectively stabilize the improved varieties of coefficient of variation.

At this moment, Gu Xi felt that the blood shed and suffered in the past years was worth it. She was very proud of her country and nation!
"I brought out Experiment No. [-] this time to see how stable it is in different natural environments..." If we can find a person with suitable planting talents to help further improve its stability, then better.

Professor Zhao raised his hand and gently stroked the upland rice plant in front of him, looking at it as if looking at his own child.

Just relying on a few wood-type supernatural beings will not be able to feed the country's [-] million people in the post-apocalyptic world.

But good rice seeds can make everyone have the possibility to have enough food.

Gu Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the little green shoots that popped out of her fingertips at some point, and suddenly smiled silently.

This is also very good.

Wei Heng from the side suddenly came over, raised his hand and waved in front of her eyes: "Gu Xiaoxi, what are you laughing at?"

Little sweet girl Qin Yi also came over and looked at the faces of the two suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Gu Xi shook her head slightly.

After thinking about it, she glanced at the mutated upland rice plant next to her, then turned her head and asked Professor Zhao: "When it matures, can I exchange some of its seeds with you?"

Professor Zhao didn't seem surprised by her request, and nodded with a smile: "Of course. Comrade Xiao Gu, you gave birth to it..."

On the contrary, Wei Heng felt a little strange: "What do you want this for?"

Gu Xi was silent for a while: "...I haven't eaten white rice for a long time."

Qin Yi, the little sweet girl at the side, was stunned for a moment, then gave Gu Xi a weird look, and muttered in a low voice: "But the rice is not tasty, it's not as good as sweet potatoes..."

Although the taste is a bit strange, at least it is sweet.

Gu Xi: "..." How should I tell you, it's because you haven't eaten normal white rice?

On the side, Professor Zhao, who had eaten normal white rice many years ago, also narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, with a smile on his face, as if he was missing something.

Qin Yi couldn't understand the nostalgia on their faces, and decided to continue the previous topic.

"Gu Xi, have you decided what to bring?" She clicked on her personal terminal, "Brother Shen should be almost at the camp by now..."

While contacting Shen Yue, she muttered to herself: "I heard that because Professor Zhao and the others came this time, the base sent a special supply of supplies..."

After a while, Qin Yi didn't hear anything, turned to look at Gu Xi, and showed her his light screen: "Brother Shen said, if you want anything, he can help bring it back..."

"Everyone will be neighbors from now on, Gu Xi, don't feel embarrassed..."

"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is also necessary for neighbors to help each other..."

Gu Xi didn't feel embarrassed either.

She just thought of her account with a balance of 0 and fell silent.

The last time Wei Heng returned with those two big trucks, he exchanged a lot of money.

But the money was immediately exchanged for generator energy blocks and living supplies. In the end, although there was still a little left, Wei Heng also said that he would transfer it to her when he came back.

But at that time, Gu Xi took a look at the poor three-digit number left in his account, and let him keep it for himself.

Wei Heng next to him obviously thought of this too.

He glanced at Gu Xi, the little girl's new clothes were torn, he didn't have any needles and threads in his hand, and the underwear that Ye Lin said last time was ordered for the little girl from the base, should have arrived by now...

Although these things are not easy for Shen Yue, a big man, to bring them back.But now that energy is tight, it's not worthwhile to drive alone for this thing...

For a while, because of poverty, neither of them spoke.

Qin Yi squeezed over and said to the two, "Have you decided what to bring? Brother Shen said he can only stay in the camp for 2 hours..."

"No, thank him for us. We don't need anything now." Wei Heng thought for a while, but gave up.

After Qin Yi left, he raised his head to look at Gu Xi: "...How about we turn over the land again tomorrow morning and plant watermelons again?"

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows: Didn't you just say that we don't lack anything?
Wei Heng looked at her confidently: We don't lack anything, but we are short of money.
