Inside the Lingtian Laboratory, Yuan Yi wasted not a single moment.
This laboratory has now been reassigned to the Spiritual Power Crop Cultivation Workshop.
However, almost all of the bureau's experiments rely on this laboratory.
Only here is the concentration of Spiritual Qi the highest.
Since Zhang Xuanqing will be cultivating here in the future, they must make the most of every second to conduct their research.
He immediately began speaking rapidly.
"Everyone, 80% of the spirit rice that Comrade Lu Li sent back has been planted in the spirit fields!"
"The remaining 20% will be used for embryo grafting experiments!"
"It is crucial that the 20% of embryo matching samples be selected from the very best globally!"
The sound resounded in everyone's ears.
A group of agricultural researchers immediately sprang into action.
Wearing white gloves, they carefully planted each precious grain of spirit rice into the spirit field.
Some researchers, however, still didn't quite understand.
" Elder Yuan, we now have the spiritual fields."
"Why not just plant the entire crop of Spirit Rice directly, instead of resorting to grafting?"
"Yes, isn't it said that Spiritual Qi may have already revived..."
"Besides, we haven't even figured out the specific effects and yields of grafted crops."
Hearing the questions from others, Yuan Yi pondered for a moment before answering them carefully.
The answer is simple: we currently have too little space for planting.
"It's difficult to achieve extremely high yields by relying solely on a single acre of spiritual land."
"Furthermore... the cost of cultivating spirit rice is not low. Comrade Lu Li said that spirit fields need Qi Refinement cultivators to manage them using Spiritual Power power techniques."
"But if the grafting is successful... and the grafted crop can grow in ordinary fields, and even ordinary people can take care of it..."
"That would be of great help to the country!"
"Furthermore... we must not only grow spirit rice suitable for cultivators, but also crops that can improve the physical condition of our ordinary compatriots!"
Having answered everyone's questions, Yuan Yi didn't delay any longer.
Immerse yourself in the process and witness firsthand how everyone buries grains of spirit rice into the spirit field.
The equipment was operated and carefully focused and adjusted...
With the Spirit Soil, the various experimental workshops tackled various cultivation researches at an unimaginable speed.
Large quantities of supplies and technical personnel converged here from all over the Great Xia and even from all over the world.
Meanwhile, various research projects were in full swing at the Bureau 749 base.
Langley headquarters, in the Beautiful Country across the ocean.
Thomson, a senior Central Intelligence Agency analyst, stared at the densely packed analytical reports on the screen, his brow furrowed.
"Gentlemen, look at this,"
He pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Over the past six months, the frequency of unusual resource mobilizations in Great Xia has increased significantly."
"Specialty steels, high-purity quartz, and even a large quantity of rare crop seeds..."
Their research teams have traveled to almost every corner of the globe!
"God! Can anyone tell me what these Great Xia are doing?"
Their behavior patterns are completely inexplicable using known methods.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of CIA agents and analysts all looked somewhat bewildered.
A subordinate added hesitantly.
"What's most puzzling is where their resources are going..."
"All leads went unanswered after reaching their capital, Jing City!"
"How can a capital region use so many special resources?"
"That's right!"
Another analyst pulled up a map that marked the footprints of the Great Xia expedition team.
"They collect various soil samples from around the world, especially from areas with special ancient legends or unique mineral compositions."
"It's important to know that the agricultural research and mining industry of Great Xia are not located in the Jing City!"
"But they sent all these things to Jing City; perhaps... they were doing more than just agricultural research!"
Thomson took a deep breath, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
In recent years, the speed of breakthroughs in various fields, especially in cutting-edge technologies, in the Great Xia has exceeded the normal range.
Whether in terms of economy, military strength, or population, it has far surpassed the rest of the world.
Its comprehensive national strength is undoubtedly trending towards becoming the number one on Blue Star.
Now, with such strange behavior, how could one not be nervous!
"Given the intelligence of the Great Xia people, they would never do anything in vain."
"They must be carrying out some kind of strategic plan that we don't yet understand..."
"It could even be something powerful enough to reshape the global landscape!"
Thomson no longer hesitated and turned to his assistant.
"Raise the surveillance level against Great Xia! Utilize all resources."
"At the same time, we will share our assessment with our Five Eyes Alliance partners."
"Tell them... that 'dragon' is likely forging claws we can't even imagine!"
The orders were issued almost simultaneously.
The Eagle Country' MI6 Maple Leaf Country' Security Intelligence Service, among other agencies, have reached similar conclusions.
Encrypted intelligence reports are circulating within the alliance, all pointing to the same question... What exactly is Great Xia secretly doing?
As other countries began to notice the anomaly.
The number of foreign tourists visiting summer has suddenly surged...
Jing City International Airport.
Mark and Jenny stepped off the plane.
The enormous backpacks made the two look like ordinary tourists.
The moment they stepped off the plane, the two of them started taking pictures non-stop.
They seemed to be marveling at the public infrastructure of the Great Xia.
"Oh my! Honey, this airport is huge!"
"That's right, we don't have airports like that where we're from."
Where are we going for our first stop today?
The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the airport and hailed a taxi.
"Oh? A foreigner? Where are you from?"
The taxi driver spoke with a thick Beijing accent.
He glanced at Mark and Jenny with great interest through the rearview mirror.
"We're from the Eagle Country," Mark replied with a smile, showing a map on his phone.
"Master, we'd like to visit the area near Emerald Cloud Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing. We've heard the natural scenery there is beautiful."
"Alright! Hold on tight!"
The driver readily agreed and smoothly shifted gears to start the car.
The car drove smoothly on the airport expressway.
Mark and Jenny initially looked out the window at the modern cityscape with great interest.
But half an hour later, Mark frowned as he watched the cursor on the navigation screen deviate further and further from the planned route.
"Master, this doesn't seem to be the road to Emerald Cloud Mountain, does it?" he asked in broken Chinese.
The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror.
A barely perceptible smile curved at the corners of his lips.
"That's right, this road is shorter, we'll be there soon."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the taxi suddenly turned into a courtyard with a sign that read "Auto Repair".
Before the two could react, the heavy iron gate slammed shut behind the car.
"What happened?!" Jenny exclaimed.
In the courtyard, five or six sharp-looking young men with neat buzz cuts and dressed in casual clothes surrounded them from all directions.
The movements were swift and orderly, silently blocking all escape routes.
The driver calmly turned off the engine, got out of the car, and flashed his ID in front of the two men.
"Gentlemen from the Great Xia National Security Bureau, please come with us."
