Why Would an Aircraft Carrier Be Dispatched to Escort His Fishing Boat?

185: Chapter 185 Gathering Qi, Revitalizing the Peach GardenSix days old?

Director Cai Minghui stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

He adjusted his glasses, looking at the little one before him in disbelief.

Is this the offspring of a Gene Warrior?

This is defying the heavens!

Cai Minghui extended an index finger toward Commander Jiang Qiuzhi.

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi reached out her palm and grasped his finger.

“And you?”

“Ah? My age?” Cai Minghui gave an awkward smile and replied tentatively, “I am... five years and over 9,000 days old.”

“Mm, a bit older than me.”

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi nodded.

“A little kid acting like a grown-up.”

Jiang Chen chuckled.

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi said, “Dad, I’m not small. Put me down.”

“You don’t even have shoes; your feet will get dirty.”

Jiang Chen looked at her chubby baby feet. It had only been six days, and he really hadn’t had time to buy her shoes. Although the floor of the Scientific Research Station was cleaned, there was still dust after all.

However...

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi was relentless: “It’s fine. I’m not even afraid of this freezing weather, so why would I fear a little dust?”

“This... alright then, stay close to me!”

Jiang Chen felt helpless.

He placed her on the ground.

At this moment, she didn’t even reach Jiang Chen’s calf.

Once on the ground, she looked up, hugged Jiang Chen’s calf, stepped onto his ankle, and said, “Dad, look, aren’t I smart!”

“Uh, you are indeed very smart.”

Jiang Chen smiled and walked forward with a slight limp, while his daughter hugged his calf, following along.

Cai Minghui watched the father and daughter with a face full of envy.

This is just too interesting.

Seeing this makes me want to find someone and have a daughter too.

“Wait, could I even produce such a heaven-defying kid? Never mind, I’ll just stick to working!”

Cai Minghui shook his head.

He led Jiang Chen to the laboratory entrance.

“Wait here for a moment, I’ll go call my teacher out.”

Cai Minghui went inside.

Soon after.

Professor Shen Wanyu came out, having changed into casual clothes. He extended a large hand and said, “Academician Jiang, long time no see!”

Last time, he had called Jiang Chen ’Little Jiang’.

But now...

He had directly changed the form of address.

Academician Jiang!

Yes.

The Academician Medal from Kyoto had already been made public.

Even Professor Shen Wanyu, far away on the Antarctic continent, was aware of it.

Originally...

Professor Shen Wanyu had hoped to rely on his achievements in crop science to contend for the Academician Medal in one fell swoop.

But now...

Seeing that Jiang Chen had actually achieved such massive success in Controlled Nuclear Fusion...

He was instantly won over!

Every great change for humanity actually begins with energy as the first step.

As for the various high-tech developments that follow, they all branch out from the towering tree of energy.

This includes crop science!

Without sufficient energy, even this Scientific Research Station couldn’t have been built.

Let alone setting up a laboratory here.

The magnetic field chaos a while ago caused the oceans to swell, which once made Professor Shen Wanyu worry about how maritime transport would fare in the future!

After all, the swelling of the oceans was a fatal blow for a Scientific Research Station located far away on the Antarctic continent.

The environment was already harsh, and now it was truly a case of adding frost to snow.

But amidst this upheaval of bad news, Controlled Nuclear Fusion in the Great Northwest actually succeeded.

At the same time, Kyoto also announced the latest Academician Medal.

The recipient was precisely the contributor to Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

Although there were many contributors—some from the Longke Academy and colleagues from the Great Northwest—the one ranked first was impressively Jiang Chen.

This left Professor Shen Wanyu with no choice but to admire him.

“Professor Shen, you’re too kind!”

“It was just a bit of insignificant work.”

Jiang Chen smiled.

The current Controlled Nuclear Fusion is mainly built upon the use of Helium.

But Helium isn’t present on every planet.

Therefore...

The best Controlled Nuclear Fusion would actually involve the use of the Qi element.

In other words...

There is still room for improvement.

Only by mastering Controlled Nuclear Fusion of the Qi element can humanity roam freely throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

“If you call that insignificant, then we really are just air,”

Professor Shen Wanyu said, his old face flushing red.

By Jiang Chen’s calf, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi spoke up: “You’re treating me like air too!”

Professor Shen Wanyu thought his hearing was failing him. He looked around, frowning, “What was that sound?”

“It’s my daughter.”

Jiang Chen pointed down at his feet.

Professor Shen Wanyu was stunned.

He took out a magnifying glass and held it to his right eye.

Then he peered at the ground!

Good heavens.

There really was a kid on his leg.

Professor Shen Wanyu looked shocked: “Hello! Little one.”

“Hello, old-timer,” Commander Jiang Qiuzhi replied.

“Where are your manners?”

Jiang Chen picked her up and pinched her cheek.

“Academician Jiang’s daughter is truly clever and lively,” Professor Shen Wanyu praised, then asked, “By the way, Academician Jiang, why have you suddenly come to the Antarctic? I thought you were in Kyoto!”

Professor Shen Wanyu had previously seen photos in the Nantianmen Project group of Dean Xia and the others attending a banquet in Kyoto; he thought Jiang Chen was there too.

Jiang Chen shook his head. “I let the Dean attend on my behalf. I came this time because I wanted to see the Flat Peach Garden again. I thought those things were quite tasty and very helpful for a child’s immunity, so I wanted to get a few more to take back.”

“Flat peaches? That’s simple. I’ll personally take you there!”

Professor Shen Wanyu took the lead!

He took the father and daughter to the Flat Peach Garden.

“Academician Jiang, the flat peaches here don’t just boost immunity... Look, see this flat peach? It’s already grown a white mist. I’ve conducted related experiments; it has a very strong effect against stomach cancer. A while ago, a patient with late-stage stomach cancer came to our lab for treatment for a period of time, and now they have returned to an early-stage state...”

Professor Shen Wanyu introduced the peaches to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was also extremely surprised after hearing this.

When he came last time, the flat peaches only boosted immunity. Now they can already provide preliminary relief for stomach cancer?

These genetically modified flat peaches are just too incredible.

“It’s just that they are very difficult to cultivate. We’ve cultivated nearly a hundred similar varieties of flat peaches, but only one has borne fruit and been effective,”

Professor Shen Wanyu sighed.

Ever since the last flat peach proved effective...

Many stomach cancer patients domestically have come to pre-order them.

Some are even willing to be test subjects.

But the laboratory has yet to cultivate a second similar flat peach.

They are truly scarce.

“That’s because the spiritual energy here is too thin.”

As Commander Jiang Qiuzhi listened to the conversation between her dad and Old Man Shen, she couldn’t help but think to herself.

In the earliest times, she had also established a Flat Peach Garden in the Fifth Heaven, which was the Jade Pool.

Back then, the Jade Pool was linked to Mercury, almost sucking dry all of Mercury’s water spiritual energy.

Only then was the glory of the Flat Peach Garden created.

As for this Flat Peach Garden on the Antarctic continent, the spiritual energy is extremely thin. Trying to cultivate high-grade flat peaches is naturally difficult in the extreme.

Unless...

Dad plants that gathering immortal flag here.

By collecting the Qi of the Solar System, this place can then become prosperous.
