Chapter 223 Successfully Blowing Up the Mountain (Subscription Request)

After listening to Xu Ye's explanation, a hint of surprise and hope flashed in Fan Xiaofeng's eyes.

She felt that technically, there was definitely no problem with in vitro fertilization.

The question is how to retrieve the eggs and then conceive in a test tube.

In fact, there are no successful test-tube babies abroad yet. Maybe the technology has started, but it has not been successful.

Since the birth of the world's first test-tube baby, Louise Brown, in the UK in 1978, it has become the method with the highest success rate in treating infertility in the world.

The first test-tube baby in China was born in 1988, and certainly no one knows about this technology now.

"Xu Ye, which country does this technology you mentioned come from? Have there been any reports about it?" Fan Xiaofeng asked anxiously, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

"It seems to be from a European or American country. I forgot the details, but I heard about it from others before. I heard that they first did the experiment with mice, and then succeeded with monkeys." Xu Ye explained.

How could he possibly know the details? He could only say it vaguely.

Fan Dajun excitedly grabbed Xu Ye's hand and asked quickly, "Can this technology really allow me to have a child?"

Xu Ye nodded and said, "In theory, it is possible. However, this technology has just been developed abroad. If we want it, we can only research it ourselves in China. They will definitely not teach it to us."

As he said that, he looked at Fan Xiaofeng.

"Sister Xiaofeng, you can do some research on your own. Maybe you can become the first person in the country and benefit countless people who are unable to have children."

When Fan Dajun and Lin Feng'er heard this, hope ignited in their eyes.

Although they didn't understand what Xu Ye meant by "test-tube baby", they understood that Xu Ye was pointing them in a new direction.

"Xu Ye, then...how much does this technology cost?" Fan Dajun asked nervously.

He knew that such advanced technology would definitely not be cheap and might even be beyond their reach.

Xu Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact amount. After all, I don't know much."

"I think you shouldn't have such a big psychological burden. If you take good care of yourself, you might be able to get pregnant automatically."

Fan Dajun and Lin Feng'er looked at each other, with both hope and worry in their eyes.

They knew that this road would not be easy, but at least it was much better than the complete despair before.

"Xu Ye, thank you for telling us this." Fan Dajun said gratefully, "No matter what, we will go and ask around to see if there is any chance."

Xu Ye nodded and said, "Don't be too anxious. This kind of thing can't be rushed."

"The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. If there is an opportunity in the future, your success rate will be higher."

In order to have his own child, Fan Dajun naturally also hopes that Lin Fenger will have his own child.

Fan Xiaofeng looked at Fan Dajun and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry too much. Xu Ye is right. Let's take care of our health first, and then we can take our time with other things."

"Okay, I'll ask Gu Yun to check my pulse tomorrow and ask her to treat me."

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually eased. Everyone stopped talking about this heavy topic and started chatting about other things in the village.

Xu Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his words just now gave them hope, but also brought new pressure.

But at least they didn't bring up that embarrassing request again.

After chatting until midnight, Fan Dajun fell asleep on the table.

Xu Ye and Lin Feng'er helped Fan Dajun back upstairs, and Fan Xiaofeng took the initiative to clean up the mess.

After Fan Dajun was put on the bed, Xu Ye prepared to leave and go downstairs.

At this time, Lin Fenger directly grabbed Xu Ye.

"You, you really don't want to help me with this?"

Xu Ye looked at Lin Feng'er, then shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I really can't help you with this matter."

"I can't let my child take someone else's surname, nor can I let him call someone else dad."

"Besides, I also know a little about physiognomy. Neither you nor Brother Fan will be childless."

"On the contrary, I think you are very likely to have twins, a boy and a girl."

"Sister Yun will make the tiger penis wine later, and I will bring it to Brother Fan. After drinking it, you will definitely be full of energy and vigor."

After listening to this, Lin Feng'er nodded, knowing that Xu Ye could not possibly have such feelings for her.

"Thank you. My sister-in-law will never mention this matter again, and you don't have to take it to heart. We will get along the same way as before." Lin Feng'er said with a blushing face.

"Well, don't worry, sister-in-law. You will definitely get what you wish for." Having said that, Xu Ye went straight downstairs.

When Fan Xiaofeng saw Xu Ye coming down, she hurriedly walked up to him.

"You're right. I started studying the test-tube baby you mentioned after I returned."

"Let's start with the animals. If I succeed, I can help my brother and sister-in-law."

Fan Xiaofeng originally planned to give birth to a child and adopt him/her to Fan Dajun, but her husband refused to agree.

Now that there is the possibility of in vitro fertilization, Fan Xiaofeng thinks it is worth a try.

"Well, what foreigners can do, we can definitely do as well. They are just a little ahead of us. As long as we work hard, we can catch up." Xu Ye brought Fan Xiaofeng a bowl of chicken soup.

Fan Xiaofeng nodded with great enthusiasm. She had never given up since she was young and she loved to study.

"I believe that you, Xiaofeng, will be able to succeed. It just requires more research and more experiments." Xu Ye continued to encourage.

Fan Xiaofeng nodded, his eyes becoming more determined.

"Then I'll go back first." With that, Xu Ye left the Fan family.

After returning, Jiang Ruoan and the others were still studying in the study.

So Xu Ye took out his own light bulb.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing with the light?" Jiang Ruoan asked curiously.

"I've got a surprise for you." As he said that, Xu Ye climbed onto the table and pushed the wooden board above it.

Then, a power strip appeared inside.

After plugging it in, the light came on immediately.

"Electricity, the light is on?" Gu Yun widened her eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.

"We have electricity at home?" Jiang Ruyue was also shocked.

After all, they never imagined having electricity in their home.

"Yes, didn't I buy a generator used for movie projection from the Liu family in Shangxi Village? I converted it into a hydroelectric generator."

"Now, it can normally meet our family's daily electricity needs."

"Wait for a while, I'll try to make a generator with my hands, then our mom and the others will be able to use electricity."

Jiang Ruoan, Jiang Ruyue and Gu Yun looked at the light above their heads, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

They had never thought that they would have electric lights at home, and that they were powered by a hydroelectric generator that Xu Ye had modified himself.

"Brother-in-law, you are so awesome!" Jiang Ruoan said excitedly, his eyes full of admiration.

Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but admire him, "Xu Ye, you are really capable of doing anything. You can even modify the generator. There are only a few places in the commune that can use electricity."

"Can we turn on the lights more often in the future? Will there be any bad effects?" Gu Yun asked with some concern.

It is really too dark at night and not very friendly to the eyes.

Especially her, she had not been enhanced by Xu Ye using any special attributes.

Now, Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Ruoan's eyesight is much better than hers.

"Of course, it won't have much impact as long as you don't spread it everywhere." Xu Ye said with a smile.

Jiang Ruoan and the others immediately became happy. After all, no one doesn't like a bright environment.

Xu Ye did not stay here any longer, but went to his studio. Now they were still asleep, so Xu Ye could not go to the mountain to dismantle the wind drill.

He prepared the drawing board, checked the paper inside, and sharpened the pen.

After completing the preparations, Xu Ye’s consciousness entered the workshop.

I didn't do anything tonight, but started checking the information on the radio.

Xu Ye’s consciousness quickly browsed the information about the radio in the workshop.

He planned to try to make a simple radio once the wind turbine task was completed.

After all, in this age of information blockade, radio is an important tool for obtaining information from the outside world.

He carefully studied the principles and structure of the radio and found that although the technology was complicated, it was not impossible to achieve.

Especially since he had some parts he found at a scrap yard that might come in handy.

Just as he was immersed in the information, Jiang Ruoan's voice came from outside: "Brother-in-law, are you still busy? Do you want to have some midnight snack?"

The voice reached the workshop directly, and Xu Ye's consciousness quickly returned to reality.

He looked up and saw Jiang Ruoan walking in with a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Ruoan, why haven't you slept yet?" Xu Ye asked in surprise.

Jiang Ruoan smiled and said, "I saw that you hadn't returned to your room yet, and I thought you might still be busy, so I cooked some noodles for you."

Xu Ye felt warm in his heart, took the noodles and said, "I haven't eaten the noodles you made for a long time, let's eat it together."

Jiang Ruoan nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Ruoan’s cooking skills have always been excellent. The noodles are cooked to perfection and the soup is delicious.

After finishing the noodles, Xu Ye looked at the time and found that it was almost midnight.

He stood up and said to Jiang Ruoan, "Ruoan, go to bed soon. I'm almost done here."

Jiang Ruoan nodded and said, "Then brother-in-law, you should also rest early and don't work too hard."

"Well, I know my limits. At night, you don't have to warm my bed." Xu Ye smiled faintly.

"Okay." Jiang Ruoan obediently left the studio and returned to his room.

After waiting for a while, Xu Ye left the studio and left through the back door.

He was going to dismantle the pneumatic drill and draw a diagram of its internal structure.

At this time, everyone in the village had gone to rest. Xu Ye quickly left the village and walked towards the mountains.

He walked to the place where the pneumatic drill was stored with ease and lifted the rainproof cloth.

Taking out the tools, he carefully disassembled the outer casing of the pneumatic drill, revealing the mechanical structure inside.

Then he began to draw the internal structure.

It took Xu Ye more than three hours to finish the drawing.

With this blueprint, he can build a pneumatic drill by hand.

He reassembled the machine, confirmed that there were no problems, and then covered it with the rainproof cloth again.

"It's finally done." Xu Ye looked at the drawings in his hand, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He packed his things and quietly returned home.

There were still two hours until dawn, and he planned to take a short nap.

At dawn, Xu Ye was awakened by the crowing of a rooster.

Today, he will continue to go up the mountain to guide them in drilling.

After breakfast, the villagers in charge of drilling came to join us.

Xu Ye led the villagers up the mountain again to continue yesterday's drilling work.

After yesterday's practice, the villagers have gradually mastered the operating skills of the pneumatic drill, and the speed and accuracy of drilling have been significantly improved.

"Everyone, please pay attention. The angle and depth of the drilling must be well controlled and there must be no deviation." Xu Ye gave instructions while checking the position of each drill hole.

The villagers listened to Xu Ye's explanation carefully, and their hands' movements became more and more skillful.

The mountain was gradually covered with neatly drilled holes. Xu Ye felt gratified as he watched everyone's progress.

"Xu Ye, you are really the lucky star of our village!" a villager said with emotion, "If it weren't for you, we don't know how long this project would have been delayed."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Only when everyone works together can we get things done. I just did what I should do."

Before I knew it, a day had passed.

In the evening, they returned to the village.

After dinner, Xu Ye went into the mechanical workshop and began to make parts for the wind turbine.

On the third day, Xu Ye continued to drill holes in the mountains.

He originally planned to drill the first batch of holes in three days, but he overestimated the efficiency.

It took them six full days to complete the first batch of drilling holes.

If you want to speed up the progress, you will need an additional drilling machine.

However, this machine is not easy to buy.

You can’t even buy the bad ones because they are so popular.

If we import from abroad, it is not only ridiculously expensive, but there are also no channels.

However, Xu Ye could accept it if the hole could be drilled in six days.

At least in these six days, he has taught everyone the skills of drilling.

At the same time, he also helped them mark out the holes to be drilled later.

After that, he didn't have to go into the mountains every day.

On the seventh day, Xu Ye went into the mountains with explosives.

Today is the day for the explosion.

Arriving at the blasting site, Xu Ye looked solemn. He knew very well that this blasting was of great significance, as it concerned the progress of the entire project and the future development of the village.

He methodically directed the villagers to place the explosives according to the established plan. Everyone was fully focused and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Everyone, please pay attention. The placement of the explosives must be accurate, and the spacing must be strictly in accordance with the previous markings." Xu Ye reminded while checking.

The villagers nodded and worked quickly.

They have full trust in Xu Ye. During the time they have been together, Xu Ye's professionalism and responsibility have made them firmly believe that as long as they follow Xu Ye's command, they will succeed.

After everything was ready, Xu Ye looked around to make sure everyone had evacuated to a safe area. Then he picked up the detonator, took a deep breath, and pressed the button.

With a loud bang, the earth shook and the mountain was instantly blown apart, with debris flying everywhere.

A huge cloud of dust rose into the sky and filled the entire valley.

Xu Ye and the villagers looked nervously in the direction of the explosion, waiting for the smoke to clear.

After a long time, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the scene before them made everyone cheer.

The blasting effect was very ideal. The mountain was successfully blasted open, forming a huge gap, which laid a solid foundation for subsequent engineering construction.

"Success! We succeeded!" The villagers hugged each other excitedly, their faces filled with joy and pride.

Xu Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. This success was a good start, showing that blasting mountains and digging rivers was feasible.

As long as they persist, they will be able to blast the mountain apart, connect to the river and improve transportation.
