I can find treasures in my dreams.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Yang Fan, Ling Shuiling, and Zhao Xiaoying entered the Yaochi branch of the Special Plant Research Institute.

Director Chang Yiming, an old acquaintance, stood at the door and said with a smile, "Dean Yang, your presence is truly an honor to our institute!"

This is not flattery; Director Chang genuinely feels honored to have such an honor at his humble abode. After all, Yang Fan is not just Chairman Yang, but a recipient of the highest national medal, renowned worldwide.

As an aside, Yang Fan previously held the title of "Honorary Vice President of the Superpower Research Institute," but now his title has been upgraded to "Special Honorary President of the Superpower Research Institute."

The title "Deputy" has been removed, and a new title "Special Appointment" has been added. This means that the person has a substantial voice in the Superpower Research Institute, and even more so than Dean Shen Jun, unlike before when the person only had a reputation.

Director Chang looked at the two girls, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that the three of them were acting a little strangely.

Dean Yang and Secretary Ling are having an affair, so it's perfectly normal for Secretary Ling to be holding Dean Yang's arm.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Xiaoying was just Dean Yang's former neighbor. I heard that the two of them were not close. Why were their shoulders almost touching?

This is not normal!

Director Chang, being rather gossipy, asked directly, "Dean Yang, you wouldn't have managed to win over the superpowered goddess of the Kyushu Legion, would you?"

The somewhat cheesy nickname "Goddess of Superpowers" is Zhao Xiaoying's nickname.

At the previous press conference for the body-tempering liquid, the scene of Zhao Xiaoying shooting and killing a mutated ice mosquito from several kilometers away was seen by people all over the world.

However, her beauty is so stunning that few can match her, leading many online to call her a goddess with superpowers.

Ling Shuiling chimed in with a grin, "It's not just that they won them over, they were even kissing right in front of me just now."

She's deliberately making things worse, intentionally trying to mislead Director Chang.

Zhao Xiaoying's beautiful eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything in defense; instead, she seemed to agree.

Yang Fan glanced at his female secretary: "Don't talk nonsense."

Ling Shuiling obediently shut up.

Director Chang gave Yang Fan a thumbs up: "Dean Yang is a real man!"

Today, some of the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty have changed.

For the purpose of "eugenics", people with superpowers are tacitly allowed to reproduce with different members of the opposite sex to produce more offspring.

Because the offspring of those with superpowers are more likely to inherit their parents' special soul traits, thus having a higher probability of awakening superpowers.

Times are changing, and the Great Xia government is constantly keeping pace with the times.

From the perspective of the operating logic at the bottom of society, the group whose right to reproduce is actually squeezed is the men in other countries.

Because both foreign women and women from Great Xia tend to seek spouses who can provide sufficient security and access to more resources.

This is a powerful instinct deeply ingrained in women's genes, one that cannot be shaken.

Sufficient security can make it easier for their offspring to survive, access more resources, and make their offspring healthier and stronger.

In these two aspects, Chinese men are simply outclassing foreign men.

Therefore, in recent years, there have been many cases of "forty-year-old bachelors marrying twenty-year-old foreign wives" in China.

In the past, during times of natural disasters, this kind of thing would even make the news.

But in this day and age, the people of Daxia are no longer surprised by such things.

It is entirely conceivable that, over time, the Y chromosome gene of foreign men will be gradually eliminated.

Centuries later, the Azure civilization will only have the Y chromosome genes of the Great Xia people, and this planet will be left with only the Great Xia people as its people.

at this time.

Director Chang didn't waste any more words: "Dean Yang, let's go see the Green Sky Vine that the exploration team brought back from the Weeping Green Sea last time."

As the director led the way, he explained, "Because cultivating the Foundation Building Passion Fruit requires a large amount of Green Sky Vine Tree sap, this stuff has become a strategic resource related to the future of the Azure People."

"Our research institute has obtained a branch of a green ivy that is over ten meters long, and we plan to use a method similar to propagation by cuttings to encourage the branch to grow roots..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan shook his head and said, "This won't work."

Director Chang was somewhat surprised: "The research institute has tried hundreds of methods, but without exception they all failed. How do you know we will fail?"

Yang Fan thought for a moment and tried his best to explain in a more accessible way: "Over the years, the tallest tree on Azure Star has been the eucalyptus tree in Australia."

"Almond eucalyptus trees are generally over 100 meters tall, with the tallest known tree reaching 156 meters, equivalent to the height of a 50-story building."

"You can understand it as the ecosystem of Azure Star being unable to support taller trees, or rather..."

He paused, then emphasized, "This is the law."

Director Chang, who had previously felt somewhat confused about the laws, suddenly gained some understanding: "I get it! The laws represent some kind of innate limitation."

Yang Fan knew that this perception was somewhat biased, but he did not correct it: "That's pretty much it, so no matter how much the research institute tries, it is absolutely impossible to break the innate limitations and make the Green Sky Vine appear on Azure Star."

He added, "At least not now."

Director Chang nodded and said, "So only if the Azure Star has been in the Primordial World for a long time and its laws have gradually strengthened to a certain extent can we transplant the Green Heavenly Vine?"

Yang Fan affirmed, "That's right."

Director Chang said with admiration, "Dean Yang is truly capable. He explained the problem that we couldn't figure out in just a few words."

The director's tone was slightly frustrated: "No wonder Mr. Ghost and Mr. Raven never even considered transplantation; it's just us messing around."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Any achievement is the fruit of repeated failures. The fact that the two big shots did not object means that they support what you are doing."

He genuinely believed that having the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute undertake projects destined to fail could deepen their understanding of supernatural powers.

Growing up inevitably involves stumbles and falls!

Director Chang brought up another topic: "A few young people in the research institute tried to cultivate the leaves of the Green Ivy and actually achieved some results. I found it strange at first, but now I understand that it is because the Green Ivy leaves are of a relatively low level and are within the range of the Azure Star's laws."

Yang Fan hummed in agreement: "Let's go take a look."

Director Chang immediately made a gesture: "Please follow me."

One minute later.

Yang Fan saw the special plant cultivated using the leaves of the Green Ivy, as well as the seven young people in charge of the project.

Their average age is no more than thirty, three of them have doctoral degrees, and the rest have master's degrees.

Several researchers were visibly excited upon seeing the recipient of the highest national medal.

As professionals in the industry, they understand better than ordinary people just how incredible it is to cultivate the body-tempering source liquid, which is hailed as the "cornerstone of civilization," single-handedly.

Project leader Liang Xinrong was so excited that he stammered, "Dean Yang... we are so honored that you could come."

Yang Fan stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder, adopting a "big shot encouraging a junior" posture: "You did a great job."

Actually, he was several years younger than Liang Xinrong. It always felt a bit ridiculous for a young person to encourage an older one, but no one seemed to think it was wrong.

Liang Xinrong has good composure and quickly got into work mode: "Dean Yang, let me introduce you to the 'Giant Leaf Tree'."

The so-called "Giant Leaf Tree of the Green Ivy" is naturally the name of a new variety cultivated using the leaves of the Green Ivy.

The person in charge spoke at length about the specific cultivation process: "We first soaked the petioles in three kinds of supernatural solvents to enhance their activity..."

Yang Fan listened to the explanation while examining the new variety.

This tree looks very strange.

Its petioles developed into a trunk, about the diameter of a wrist and less than a meter in length.

Above the trunk is a huge leaf, more than three meters long, which is a green ivy leaf, but its color has obviously become a bit duller.

The huge leaves hang down at an angle, like a natural sunshade.

Two green leaves, about the length of an adult's arm, have sprouted from the trunk and hang down on the other side of the huge leaves.

Liang Xinrong spent several minutes explaining the cultivation process in detail.

Finally, he asked in a questioning tone, "We have tried many methods, but we still cannot get the Giant Leaf Tree to grow a third leaf. This problem has been troubling us."

Yang Fan smiled but didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, he looked at his female secretary and asked, "Don't you think this tree looks a bit out of place?"

Ling Shuiling nodded and said, "It does look very awkward."

Zhao Xiaoying interjected, "I have a feeling that maybe we can cut off a leaf." Liang Xinrong's lips moved, as if he wanted to say, "Don't talk nonsense if you're not an expert."

But this exceptionally beautiful female soldier was standing right next to the big boss, and the person in charge ultimately said nothing.

Yang Fan smiled and said, "That's right, Xiaoying's feeling is very accurate. We should indeed cut off a leaf."

Liang Xinrong looked surprised: "Why?"

Yang Fan simply said, "If you cut off one leaf, the other leaf can grow. This way, there will be one leaf on each side, which will put less pressure on the trunk."

Liang Xinrong was still a little confused.

Director Chang recalled Yang Fan's earlier remarks on "the theory of laws" and pondered the concept of "harmony," suddenly experiencing a profound sense of enlightenment.

He said excitedly, "Dean Yang, we don't know how the leaves of the green ivy grow, nor do we know what they will eventually look like. It all depends on our guidance, right?"

Yang Fan laughed: "It seems you really understand."

Director Chang exclaimed, "Now I understand what it means to have a single conversation with a wise man is worth more than ten years of study."

The director then looked at Zhao Xiaoying and said sincerely, "I think Colonel Zhao's intuition is so sharp that she is very suitable for plant cultivation work."

The long-legged girl waved her hand: "Forget it, I'm only interested in fighting and killing."

After being promoted to soldier, this young woman has now risen to the rank of colonel. She only took two years to go from second lieutenant to colonel.

Director Chang clicked his tongue with a look of regret.

Liang Xinrong stood silently to the side.

He did not ask Dean Yang to explain, because this kind of thing is a typical case of "too shallow to understand, even if you explain it to me in detail, you will hardly understand", and besides, where would Dean Yang have so much time?
The world of the big shots is one that ordinary people can only look up to in awe.

Yang Fan commented, "The cultivation of the Giant Leaf Tree is a very good start. You can try to cultivate it to 300 meters tall first, and there may be some unexpected surprises."

Director Chang instantly realized that "three hundred meters" was the current upper limit of the Azure Star Law: "Good! Next, the research institute will focus on cultivating the Jade Giant Leaf Tree."

Even Dean Yang is optimistic about the project, and Chang Yiming is no fool, so he will naturally focus his bets on the Giant Leaf Tree.

Yang Fan added, "Let Dr. Liang take charge of this project."

Director Chang didn't dare say "no," and immediately replied, "Understood!"

Liang Xinrong felt like she had "returned from the ground to the clouds".

The PhD student thought he had lost control of the project, but little did he know that with Dean Yang's approval, he would still have the opportunity to take control of this key project of the institute.

Yang Fan looked at Liang Xinrong and encouraged him, "Although your cultivation of the Jade Vine Giant Leaf Tree was somewhat accidental, it still has an element of luck involved."

"But from another perspective, not everyone has the ability to stumble upon success by chance. You may have unique potential in the field of plant cultivation that you may not even be aware of yourself."

"Snapped!"

Yang Fan patted the other man on the shoulder: "Dr. Liang, keep up the good work!"

Liang Xinrong was moved to tears and gave a heavy "Mmm".

Director Chang smacked his lips again.

The director certainly understood that a single sentence from Dean Yang was enough to make Liang Xinrong, an unknown nobody, a rising star in the field of Daxia plant cultivation overnight.

Even the big shots are optimistic about it, so who dares to say anything? Do you think your judgment is better than theirs?

Liang Xinrong suddenly asked a question: "Dean Yang, how far do you think the Giant Leaf Tree of Ivy will grow?"

Yang Fan thought for a moment and replied, "Transplanting the Green Heavenly Vine to Azure Star may not be realistic, but the Giant Leaf Tree of the Jade Vine has given me hope. Perhaps it has the potential to become Azure Star's Green Heavenly Vine."

Director Chang gasped, immediately realizing the weight of those words.

Liang Xinrong's heart skipped a beat as he realized just how important the project he had taken on was.

To put it bluntly, this is a world-class mega-project, even related to the future of Azure Star.

Liang Xinrong couldn't help but ask, "Dean Yang, why don't you personally lead the project?"

This PhD student genuinely believed that only Yang Fan was qualified to lead such an important project.

Yang Fan pointed to the Jade Vine Giant Leaf Tree and smiled, "This is most likely a project with a cycle of a hundred years. Its person in charge must have the patience and perseverance to last for a hundred years. I am too busy to persist for a hundred years."

Liang Xinrong solemnly stated, "I am very willing to work on this project until I die."

Yang Fan had long recognized that this was a very persistent person: "I believe in you."

The power of astronomical insight told him that Liang Xinrong had the potential to create a miracle in the future.

While the future of Canglan Star certainly requires his efforts, it is absolutely not enough for him to succeed alone; it also needs countless people like Liang Xinrong.

Yang Fan then looked at Director Chang: "Let's go take a look at Green Sea now."

Director Chang immediately replied, "Okay!"

Last time, Yang Fan drove away the high-level knight insect monsters near the Green Sea World Gate. The World Tree sapling Xiao Cang managed to "corrode" a Green Sky Vine and transform it into a relatively safe outpost.

"Ordinary" superhumans like Yang Fan can now safely enter and exit the Green Sea.

*
five minutes later.

Yang Fan, with two girls in tow, got into an electric scooter, which sped into the mountain tunnel of Yaochi Peak.

The Iron Fist Clan workers hired by the Great Xia not only built the Jade Pool Heavenly Ladder from the foot of the mountain to the top, but also assisted in a massive project inside the mountain.

To date, twelve spaces with a total capacity of over one million cubic meters have been built inside Yaochi Peak.

Six vertical tunnels, each over twenty meters in diameter, were also built inside the mountain, running from bottom to top.

Because the elevation difference from the foot of the mountain to the top is just over three thousand meters, each vertical tunnel is three kilometers long, and each tunnel is equipped with more than twenty high-speed elevators.

At the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen horizontal tunnels were built, leading to various parts of the mountain.

The above is only a small part of the plan.

The construction period for the entire Green Sea World Gate project is scheduled to be five years. Once the project is completed, at least one-fifth of the interior of Yaochi Peak will be hollowed out, turning it into a huge Yaochi Fortress.

The people of Daxia are transforming the world in their own way.

The electric vehicle's route was one of the horizontal tunnels, and its destination was a vertical tunnel.

The scenery inside the tunnel was unremarkable, so the group naturally started talking about the super tsunami in Sakura-san.

Director Chang sighed, "King Ying Sang committed seppuku, and the Ying Sang royal family will abdicate in three days, completely ending more than a thousand years of rule over Ying Sang. From now on, the Ying Sang Kingdom will become the Ying Sang Duchy."
"According to the Treaty of Pingjing signed between the Pioneer Alliance and the Sakura people, the North Island, one of the four major islands of Sakura, will become independent. The Great Xia government really took a ruthless approach, directly dismembering the Sakura Kingdom."

The director was referring to internal information that had not been made public.

Previous media reports stated that King Ying Sang died of illness, but in reality, the Great Xia Dynasty ordered the Ying Sang royal family to give an explanation for participating in the blood sacrifice, and the king was "forced" to commit seppuku.

All the Sakura Foundations suspected that the disaster was related to Great Xia, so they were all quite frightened and obediently accepted Great Xia's Sakura Transformation Plan.

Zhao Xiaoying clicked her tongue: "I heard that the king didn't want to undergo cesarean section, so one of the superhumans forcibly grabbed the king's hands and cut open his stomach with a knife, while another superhuman used a dagger to slit the king's throat, helping him end his suffering as soon as possible."

Ling Shuiling curled her lip: "The culture of the Ying Sang people is too perverted."

Director Chang added, "The latest death toll from the super tsunami has reached more than 28 million. The Sakura Kingdom originally had a population of over 100 million, which means that one in four Sakura people died."

"The royal family was essentially pushed out as a scapegoat by various conglomerates. The people of Sakura have accumulated too much anger, and everyone wants to see the royal family get out of here."

Yang Fan laughed and said, "I think the higher-ups are really brilliant. The Sakura royal family should bear a large part of the responsibility for the war more than half a century ago. The higher-ups took advantage of the situation to eliminate the Sakura royal family and also took away Beidao Island, which can be considered as completing the historical revenge."

Director Chang agreed, "This revenge was brilliant! Great Xia achieved the greatest results without losing a single soldier."

North Island, with an area of ​​over 80,000 square kilometers, was originally the second largest island in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom. According to the terms of the Pingjing Agreement, North Island will be temporarily placed under the trusteeship of Great Xia, which is tantamount to a "cession" by anyone with eyes to see.

During the negotiations, Da Xia brought in several people who claimed to be Inu people who had lived on the North Island hundreds of years ago, and that Ying Sang must return the Inu land.

The people of Sakura-sang at the scene turned green with anger, and several of them tried their best to argue, attempting to convince everyone that North Island was Sakura-sang's inherent territory.

The representative of Great Xia directly threatened with force, stating that if the Ying Sang people did not leave the North Island, Great Xia would use the Lingxiao Palace's celestial weapons to help the Inu tribe reclaim their homeland.

The Sakura people finally gave in and were forced to sign their names on the agreement.

Yang Fan's two aliases, Mr. Ghost and Mr. Raven, did not participate in the handling of Ying Sang.

The other two rulers spearheaded the plan to dismember Sakura-san, but he thought the result was brilliant. (End of Chapter)
