Qingxiang Section, Disaster Warning

The young researcher's forehead veins bulged, and he glared at the "jealous person" he was reprimanding as if they were a mortal enemy.

"Don't attack those greater than you based on conjecture! If you don't understand, ask!"

"If you don't understand, I can tell you."

The hot-headed youth, disregarding his colleague's dignity, loudly declared, "The era where greatness returns to the individual is coming!"

His voice rose and fell rhythmically, as if he had taken advanced elocution classes.

"Tearing down tanks barehanded will no longer be a fantasy or empty talk, but something that can truly happen!"

Hearing this, several researchers nearby couldn't help but interject.

"Limitless Cell... the name sounds impressive, but I still prefer the naming convention of Fuxi Cell."

"What's the use of you liking it? Yan God is the discoverer!"

"I wonder if one can fly after all their cells are infused and strengthened by Limitless Cells?"

As the group of nerds chatted, the topic veered off course.

They began discussing the possibility of human flight without external aids.

The hot-headed researcher's demeanor grew more excited as he chatted with others.

He suddenly jumped onto the table, his face flushed, and declared with passionate fervor, "We are witnessing the dawn of an era!"

"It's an honor!"

"I used to lament and feel I was born too early."

"If I had been born in the Interstellar Era, perhaps the average lifespan would be two hundred years, and with my talents, I could have achieved more, even glimpsing the hope of immortality."

"Now, I don't think that way anymore!"

"Being able to live in this era is the greatest fortune of my life!"

"Thank you, Yan God! You've allowed me to see the dawn of miracles in an ordinary age ahead of time!"

After saying this, the plain-looking, irritable man bowed to Yan Anqing.

The researchers around him immediately began to whisper.

"Superman Era?"

"I thought he would say Spiritual Energy Resurgence..."

"It's not wrong to understand it that way, but it's more like a man-made Spiritual Energy Resurgence era! Our era!"

"Right! Yan Anqing is the pioneer, and we can't fall behind!"

In reality, Fu Wuji Cell and Superpower Cavity had their limits, but these researchers with lower security clearances couldn't obtain detailed information. They could only speculate and use their imaginations to guess.

Yan Anqing noticed a young man among the crowd who looked unfamiliar, appearing awkward and flushed.

This person must be the unlucky fellow who was berated by the hot-headed youth on the table earlier, accused of being "jealous" and "shameless."

He recalled that this guy seemed to be one of the researchers who flew over from Modu Yanjike with Academician Liu Shijun.

His name seemed to be "Huang Zhaolan"?

He appeared to hold the title of Level 3 Researcher, two levels higher than Yan Anqing.

Poor Huang Zhaolan, having just arrived in the Capital City, was not yet accustomed to the local way of doing things.

He had unconsciously brought the vulgarity of his small circle here, and with just one tentative mockery, he had hit a wall and been labeled "red-eyed sickness" by the irritable old brother.

Yan Anqing couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters. He simply nodded at the hot-headed researcher and turned to leave.

Watching Yan Anqing's retreating back, Huang Zhaolan, who wished he could disappear into the ground, wore a look of venom.

Some people's thought processes were truly bizarre.

Yan Anqing had neither provoked nor offended him, not even spoken a word to him, yet he was resented so deeply.

One could only say...

Great trees catch the wind, and popular people attract trouble.

Upon returning to his dormitory, Yan Anqing found a set of brand-new academic dress and corresponding medals on his bed.

The "Optimal Proliferation Plan for Superpower Cells" he had written had been turned into over a dozen papers with the help of his junior female student, Jiang Xinyue. These were the fruits of his labor.

The title of Level 4 Researcher meant Yan Anqing had truly entered the mid-to-high tier among young researchers.

Although there were the "Special Grade" and "Academician" ranks above the numerical sequence, China had not had a researcher under 35 years old achieve these titles since its founding.

In Yan Anqing's understanding, the most formidable were Shang Yin, Xie Zhe, Qu Li, and the "Star of Modu," Luo Jiashi.

These individuals, each with their own personality flaws, possessed genuine talent and were all officially recognized Level 1 Researchers.

"The research community is relatively much simpler," Yan Anqing said with a faint smile.

In other professional fields, Qu Li, who disliked him, would have long used his seniority, experience, and authority to suppress him. How could it be that here, he could only compete with research results, stubbornly confronting him head-on?

This is also a smart person, one who knows how to get to the root of things.

"Senior, congratulations."

Jiang Xinyue wriggled around Yan Anqing like a hyperactive child, "You're a Level 4 Researcher now!"

She had been in the Mojuke for so many years just to become a Level 4 Researcher. She originally thought she would be the one to break the record for promotion speed, but she never expected Yan Anqing to appear out of nowhere and instantly shatter all preconceived notions.

In Jiang Xinyue's opinion, this senior was a prime candidate for Academician, destined to stand at the pinnacle of this field sooner or later.

It was purely a gift from heaven.

Even if his major wasn't directly related, he could still find his way onto this path through sheer coincidence. There was nothing to be envious, jealous, or hateful about.

Therefore, she didn't feel any resentment towards Yan Anqing's current achievements.

Her phone rang...

"Mountain top, just follow along, nothing can stop the future..."

Jiang Xinyue answered with lightning speed.

"Huh? Wait... are you serious?"

"Okay, I understand."

The smile on Jiang Xinyue's face gradually faded, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if bent by some bad news.

Seeing her demeanor, Yan Anqing spoke, "Dongfang Zhi? Zhao Jiaqian?"

After all, they were roommates, and he knew a bit about their social circles.

Jiang Xinyue and Dongfang Zhi weren't actually close. Their mutual best friend was that girl named "Zhao Jiaqian," and they had been in more frequent contact recently.

"It's Zhao Jiaqian."

Jiang Xinyue sighed, a shadow hidden in her brows, "Jibei Province, Jiangsu Province, Southern Fujian Province, and Eastern Guangdong Province will have no rainfall in the coming months, and the disaster level is high..."

Zhao Jiaqian was a staff member of the Information Section and a maintainer of the XieZhi System, always receiving first-hand information.

Jibei Province happened to be Jiang Xinyue's hometown.

Yan Anqing gradually realized the gravity of the situation.

With modern technology, if there was little rainfall, they could just send planes to induce rain.

Seeing Jiang Xinyue's worried expression, the situation was clearly not that simple.

While artificial rain sounds impressive, its principle is actually quite simple.

It's just using aircraft to scatter dry ice, silver iodide, and salt into the clouds to promote the condensation of cloud droplets, thereby causing rainfall.

Now, the only problem is...

The current situation does not conform to the objective laws of weather development!

After all, Jibei Province and Eastern Guangdong Province are both coastal provinces, and it's almost impossible for them to experience nearly half a year without rain.

And in the coming months, the skies over Jibei, Jiangsu, Southern Fujian, and Eastern Guangdong provinces might all be devoid of nimbus clouds.

The Information Section connected with the Qingxiang Section's data; they wouldn't make mistakes on such matters!

The effect of artificial rain would be negligible at best.

Modern transportation is developed, and people won't face water shortages in their daily lives.

However, a prolonged drought period would not only affect the livelihoods of agricultural and animal husbandry workers...
