The authorities permitted Ant Army Group to conduct small-scale trial cultivation of Soil Oxygen Grass.
Once the news spread, it sparked another fierce debate in the biological community.
Many biologists opposed the decision.
The biological community was mainly concerned that this new plant posed unforeseeable risks to Earth's biosphere and could cause genetic pollution in nature.
However, Soil Oxygen Grass had undergone more than three years of experimental research by plant research teams and biological institutes from ten domestic universities, producing the most authoritative and comprehensive reports and experimental data.
The research reports and papers clearly stated that Soil Oxygen Grass would not become an invasive species within biological systems and carried no risk of genetic pollution.
The small number of opposing voices could not stand against those conclusions.
A week later, when the first batch of Soil Oxygen Grass was seen successfully surviving in barren deserts and heavily polluted land, the biological community's resistance to this new plant species eased somewhat.
Taking advantage of this, the authorities announced that they would continue expanding the trial cultivation of Soil Oxygen Grass. In the future, they would steadily broaden environmental protection policies, intensify desert control efforts, and rehabilitate land polluted by industry.
Just as the outside world was focusing on this major environmental policy, a malicious rumor suddenly emerged.
In several provinces where sites for Nuclear Fusion Power Stations had been announced, rumors appeared claiming that Nuclear Fusion Power Stations emitted intense radiation that could cause cancer.
Along with the rumors came photographs of biological deformities and human cancer allegedly caused by leaks from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
The rumors and photographs spread rapidly near the selected sites for the Nuclear Fusion Power Stations.
One person told ten, and ten told a hundred.
It caused considerable unrest among the local
