Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 140 I have an idea

Li Mu clapped his hands lightly, and was quite satisfied with the name. "Not bad, not bad, the naming is up to you!"

Hu Li raised his head proudly, "Humph, no, I'm a media major."

Hong Pengfei watched this scene silently, with a relaxed and happy smile on his face. Although he had joined the laboratory for less than a month, he got along very well with the two of them, and both the boss and Sister Hu took good care of him.

Thinking of this, the idea of ​​quickly improving his strength surged in his mind again. Only with enough strength could he protect everything in front of him.

Li Mu did not notice the assistant's psychological changes, and asked with a smile: "How is the construction of the botanical garden going?"

"Since I set up the bonus according to your suggestion, the workers' enthusiasm for work has increased a lot. It is expected that the work will be almost completed today. We only need to improve the details later."

Li Mu nodded. "The speed is okay, but we still have to hurry up. Qingxin loquat is related to the safety of all residents in the city. Once the botanical garden is built, we have to hurry up and plant it."

"Yeah, I understand!"

Li Mu still recognized Hu Li's ability to work in this area. Considering that her talent in cultivation was not very good, perhaps she could be allowed to develop into a management talent.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly remembered Ah Sao's suggestion to create a plant similar to a telephone or walkie-talkie to facilitate communication and contact. While both of them were there, he simply asked together to find some inspiration, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need your help with. Give me some advice."

"Do you think there are any plants that can be used for instant communication like a mobile phone?"

After hearing this question, the two fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. It was obvious that they had no idea either.

There was no other way, so Li Mu added: "It doesn't have to be like a mobile phone, with global signal coverage. It would be fine if it could be like a walkie-talkie that can communicate within a few hundred meters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Li spoke up, "If we are only communicating within a few hundred meters, I have a suggestion."

Li Mu's eyes lit up. The surprise came too suddenly. It would not work if one person worked alone. He needed to gather ideas from all sides.

"Boss, have you ever used a landline phone before?"

Hu Li asked softly.

"Yes, I have. Before smartphones came out, that's what we had at home."

"Why do you ask?"

Li Mu remembered that his family had a wired telephone in the past. It was very large and had to be plugged into a telephone line. There was a phone book for recording phone numbers, and before making a call, he had to check whether it was a local number. If it was not a local number, he had to add the area code in front of it.

Hu Li snapped his fingers lightly. "My inspiration comes from the wired telephone. Since this kind of telephone relies on telephone wires laid all over the place to communicate, can we also find a plant with many long roots as a transit station, and then use its roots as telephone wires to communicate?"

Li Mu touched his chin when he heard this. "Your idea is very good. We can use the rhizome of this plant as telephone wires and plant the branches of this plant in places where telephones are needed. It will be similar to the wired telephones of the past."

Seeing that the boss understood what he wanted to express, Hu Li's mind opened up and he continued:
"In the past, there were coin-operated telephone booths. We can follow suit and charge a certain amount of spirit coins as phone fees. Apart from the energy consumed by the plants to deliver the message, the rest is pure profit!"

"Moreover, this plant can not only be grown in Wanling City, but also promoted to other places. By the way, it can also promote spiritual coins. Then we can make a lot of money!"

As Hu Li spoke, stars appeared in his eyes, as if he would become a "billionaire" soon.

Li Mu's jaw dropped when he heard Hu Li's words. At first he just wanted to create something that would facilitate communication in Wanling City. He didn't expect that this question would also solve the problem of promoting spirit coins.

"Is she really a genius?!"

After calming down his excitement, Li Mu thought for a while and continued, "The idea of ​​a wired phone is indeed good and can be used as an option, but it still has some limitations. Do you have any other ideas?"

Hu Li and Hong Pengfei shook their heads at the same time, "No, I can't think of anything for now."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I have something else to do in the lab."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

On the other hand, after Yu Shuaikang got the seeds of the purification lamp, he immediately went to the military affairs building and summoned all the members of the hunting team to hold a meeting on how to plant these seeds.

"The solution to the smog problem has been found. These are the seeds of the purification lamps that can absorb and purify the smog. However, if you want them to grow quickly, you still have to rely on people to infuse them with energy. Each seed needs to be infused with energy for three hours every day."

Yu Shuaikang pointed to a rattan basket on the table, glanced at everyone and continued, "So, how to plant? Where to plant? We need to discuss it carefully. Tell us your ideas."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Songyang immediately stood up and said, "I suggest planting evenly, for example, planting one tree every fifty meters. This will help clear the haze in Wanling City as quickly as possible."

Most people nodded slightly when they heard this; they all thought so.

Yu Shuaikang's expression remained unchanged. This was also his original plan, but he thought that one person's plan could make a difference while two people's plan could make a difference, so he still wanted to listen to other people's suggestions.

"Any other ideas? Tell us as soon as possible. We need to plant these seeds quickly."

At this time, Xu Qihang thought carefully for a while, raised his hand and said: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

Yu Shuaikang turned his head and glanced, "Stop talking nonsense, speak quickly!"

“I think there is nothing wrong with planting evenly across the board, but there is a disadvantage to doing so, which is that there is no distinction between key and non-key areas.

Everyone knows that there are some places in Wanling City where not many people move around. For example, there are not many people going there to take care of the farmland every day. Besides, those crops have a certain purification effect, so there is no need to plant too many purification lamps there. "

"As for the residential areas, where there are more people, we need to pay special attention and plant more appropriately. As for the underground city, we only need to plant some at the exits and ventilation ducts, and there is no need to plant inside the underground city."

Inspired by Xu Qihang, Fu Zikui also said: "I would also like to add that it is impossible for so many seeds to ripen at the same time with just a few of us.

Now, almost everyone in Wanling City has practiced breathing techniques, and they all have some source energy in their bodies. We can explain this to the residents and ask them to help infuse source energy. It is related to everyone's health, and I believe they will not refuse. "Yu Shuaikang smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. When it comes to making plans, it is true that there is strength in numbers.

"Your suggestions are good, do you have any more?"

After waiting for a few minutes and seeing no one talking, Yu Shuaikang made up his mind: "If there are no other opinions, let's do this."

Then his face became serious and he issued an order: "Fu Zikui, Zhang Tiankuo, you lead ten people to be responsible for Dongcheng District and Xicheng District respectively, plant the seeds of purification lamps evenly and mark them on the ground. Xu Qihang, Zhuo Songyang, you are responsible for writing a notice to inform all residents of the plan to plant purification lamps and ask for their assistance."

"Take the seeds and act now!"

In the conference room of the West Lake Shelter, many managers were quietly listening to a soldier standing in the center reporting the situation.

"After much investigation, we found that the smog covered a wide area. We checked 500 meters ahead after leaving the shelter, and the fog around us showed no signs of weakening. In addition, because the fog was so thick, we almost couldn't find the way back."

The soldier's words caused a silence in the conference room, and everyone fell into deep thought. The sudden smog did not attract their attention at first, and they just thought it was another extreme weather, and the fog would eventually dissipate, as long as they waited for the sun to come out.

But the reality was beyond their expectations. It was almost noon and the sun had been out for several hours, but the fog showed no sign of dissipating. Instead, it became more and more intense. Only then did they realize that something was wrong.

So all parties immediately sent people out to investigate the situation, but the intelligence they received made them feel disappointed: the smog was boundless and the source could not be found at all.

"We must now find a solution as quickly as possible."

An obese middle-aged man in charge of logistics management broke the silence. "The fog is so thick that you can't see anyone a few dozen meters away. Now all residents dare not leave the shelter to look for resources. If the smog doesn't dissipate, the shelter's reserves won't last long."

The others nodded in agreement. There were too many people in the shelter, and the various resources consumed every day were astronomical.

They all know that if this problem is not solved quickly, most residents will face increasingly serious food and resource shortages.

Although the management do not have to worry about this problem for the time being, if anyone is going to starve, the ordinary people will be the first to starve, not them.

But if the situation continues to develop like this, they will also be implicated. Without those ordinary people, who will be responsible for the operation of the entire shelter? They can't let the management take over, right?
Moreover, as the party with vested interests, what they value most is the stability of the entire shelter.

When the day comes when people's hearts are unsettled, ordinary residents will definitely riot because of food shortages. Even if they have enough confidence and strength to suppress everything, this is not what they want to see.

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly heavy, and everyone felt tremendous pressure. They knew that a solution must be found as soon as possible to ensure that their affluent lives could continue.

"I have asked a water awakener in the association to try to dispel the haze, but I don't know if the result of the experiment can be considered a success."

The person who spoke was President Zhang of the Superpower Association. He had a serious face and a frown on his face, and was obviously very distressed.

General Wang looked calm and asked, "President Zhang, could you please tell me the details?"

Upon hearing this, President Zhang said calmly, "Although this water awakener under my command was able to successfully condense the haze in an area into a water ball through his ability, within a few minutes, the haze in the nearby areas filled up the area again. It can only be said that it is a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution."

A fat-headed manager was overjoyed when he heard that the smog could be eliminated. "It's good that it can be solved. Just let him come a few more times!"

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately echoed them, saying:

"Yes, please help this Awakener to absorb the smog near our residence. I remember that smog is poisonous. Inhaling too much is bad for your health."

"That's right, that's right. At worst, we can just give him more money and supplies."

Chairman Zhang felt angry when he heard this. It was already the end of the world, but these people still held on to the old bureaucratic thinking, thinking that the awakened ones were just ordinary people with stronger strength and that they still had to listen to their orders and be at their mercy.

At the same time, he thought in his heart: If most of the awakened people are not unable to resist thermal weapons now, you people would have been dealt with long ago, and you would not be allowed to act so arrogantly here!

But even if he thought so, it was not the time to turn hostile yet, so he had to keep the situation to himself. President Zhang snorted coldly, "There is only one water awakener in the association now, and he is only at the second level. His strength is limited, and I am afraid he can't solve this problem."

"What are you talking about, President Zhang? Our request is not high. We just want to disperse the smog. How much effort can it take? Are you afraid that you don't want to help?"

The fat and big-eared manager who had spoken earlier was somewhat displeased when he heard Chairman Zhang's refusal, and his voice became cold.

"Humph, I don't know what it means!"

President Zhang didn't tolerate him and looked at him with contempt.

"Zhang Yan, what do you mean by that? Who do you mean by that?!"

The fat and big-eared management suddenly stood up with his eyes wide open in anger.

"All right!"

Mayor Qian listened quietly at the side, his brows tensed and relaxed, tensed and relaxed. Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, he could only slap the table and said, "What is there to argue about?"

After Mayor Qian spoke, the tense atmosphere between the two sides dissipated instantly, and they sat down. Although they were not arguing, everyone present knew that this matter would not be easily resolved, and the two of them had become enemies.

"This meeting is to solve the problem, not for you to quarrel here! Is there anyone who can completely solve this smog problem?"

Mayor Qian glanced at everyone, hoping to hear a satisfactory answer.

Unfortunately, despite the large number of people present, no one answered. Although there were many powerful awakened people in the field, not all problems could be solved by violence. Without the right expertise, they were helpless.

Ten minutes passed and the conference room was still silent. It was obvious that no one had come up with a good solution.
