No one believed that things like watermelons and chives could be grown in the desert.
It wasn't just Trump and the others. Even people online in the country didn't believe it. They all thought it was ridiculous.
"Watermelons need a lot of water to survive."
"Holy crap, if this is true, I'll eat shit."
"I still don't really believe it. Unless these watermelons were grown by Academician Xiao Qin and Academician Li Kai."

At the conference.
Depeslin and the others were even less convinced.
Depeslin challenged them outright. "That's impossible. These crops can't survive in the desert. They aren't drought-resistant crops. This makes no sense."
The person in charge of the country's Environmental Governance Department smiled. "Ordinary watermelons, chives, and rice wouldn't survive in the desert. But researchers from our Huake Academy conducted detailed tests on the leaves of these plants and discovered that their chlorophyll and cells had undergone remarkable mutations."
"These mutations aren't harmful, but they allow the plants to survive in the desert. As for the specific reasons, our Huake Academy is still researching them. We'll be sure to tell everyone once we have the results."
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention: all these plants were grown by Academician Xiao Qin of Qinglin Laboratory. We'll also be testing them in the desert very soon, and everyone's welcome to come watch."
After finishing, the head of the country's Environmental Governance Department returned to his seat, looking entirely at ease.
Everyone around him was stunned. They had heard him mention Qinglin Laboratory.
Qinglin Laboratory had long been famous abroad.
After it had used duckweed to treat water and Optimus Prime and Megatron had made their imposing debut, everyone knew that the laboratory was extraordinary.
And now these desert plants had also been grown by Qinglin Laboratory?
Their doubts
