Li Kai looked at the dark brown liquid flowing out and furrowed his brows slightly.
The liquid inside the blue plum was actually dark brown, a color that looked a lot like cola.
But blueberry juice coming out the color of cola obviously wasn't a good sign. It might even be poisonous.
The blue plum might have mutated, and possibly not in a good way.
After all, the juice was the wrong color.
What's more, the blue plum didn't even have a normal pit. It seemed to have shrunk to almost nothing, leaving only two or three tiny grains.
Aside from the outer layer of skin, the inside was entirely filled with that liquid.
Li Kai hurried back to the laboratory with the remaining blue plums he'd picked, then immediately called in several lab assistants to help test them.
That would make things faster.
Qinglin Laboratory had previously received 400 million in investment from Chen Shengfei and Ma Liewen, and that money hadn't all been spent yet. After that, Qinglin Watermelon had gone on sale continuously, bringing in quite a lot of revenue.
So Li Kai had also asked Shen Li to help the laboratory recruit more and more staff. They hired senior researchers away from other laboratories.
Given Qinglin Laboratory's current standing, along with the advanced technologies it had donated, it was already quite well-known. That made it possible to attract top research talent.
For ordinary lab assistants, they hired newly graduated postgraduates.
Most of these people were studying crops that had already mutated. For now, they still had no access to Special Soil.
After all, in Li Kai's view, the elements in Special Soil would eventually be used up. They couldn't rely on it forever.
A laboratory needed its own research capacity. It had now begun focusing on
