Academician Zhu was surprised to see that the streetlights were off.
If the streetlights weren't on, where was the light coming from?
He looked around, then saw something even more astonishing. The light all around them was coming from that tree.
And wasn't that the tree Boss Qin had spent years cultivating, the one Manager Yu had just brought down from the rooftop?
They had wondered what the tree could do. Now he knew: it could serve as a streetlight.
It was unbelievable. A tree could glow at night and illuminate its surroundings just like a streetlight.
This was nothing like the fluorescent glow of the plants on Fairytale Mountain. This tree could actually be used along major roads as a streetlight.
The scene before them said it all.
Academician Chu and Academician Pei were also staring at the scene in disbelief.
They had noticed the streetlights were off, too, and spotted the Streetlight Trees glowing and lighting up the area around them.
"Is this Boss Qin's latest achievement?" Academician Chu asked, astonished.
Academician Pei exclaimed, "This tree can serve as a streetlight. If it can be widely planted, how much money and energy could it save the country in a year?"
Academician Chu and Academician Zhu nodded together. Indeed, the electricity bills for streetlights across the country added up to an enormous expense every year.
More importantly, why were there so many traffic accidents on national highways and rural roads? Because they were dark and had no streetlights.
But the country couldn't install streetlights along every national highway and rural road, could it?
How much would that cost?
But with this tree, things were different. Greenery could be planted along every road, after all. Many national highways already had plants growing along their sides.
If that was the case,
