The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 449 The Role of the R&D Department
In the next few days, these old hands at the military base witnessed the strength of Yangshan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Construction and other departments.

The Ministry of Agriculture, in particular, planted a variety of mutant crops, greatly expanding the variety of vegetables and making the dishes of the residents of Yangshan Shelter richer and more diverse.

"Old Tang, why don't you leave yet?"

In the dormitory, Zhou Wanxi and others came to a dormitory downstairs and saw that Tang Dechang did not go downstairs to gather in the square, but was standing in the corridor, drinking water from a thermos.

This couldn't help but surprise Zhou Wanxi and others.

Hearing this, Tang Dechang smiled and said, "From today on, I will not participate in the labor work."

Zhou Wanxi and the others were all stunned. Meng Qin couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you have to do labor?"

Tang Dechang chuckled and said, "Our instructor assigned me another task."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Wanxi asked hurriedly.

Tang Dechang was calm and composed, smiling without saying a word.

At this time, Zhang Hengliang also passed by here. Seeing this scene, he immediately ran over and whispered, "Old Tang, one point, give some advice to the brothers."

Tang Dechang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's agreed, one point."

"It's a deal!" Zhang Hengliang gritted his teeth.

Tang Dechang then smiled and said, "I went to work in the fields yesterday and used my wood attribute ability. I was highly regarded by the senior officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, and they specially recruited me to the Ministry of Agriculture."

It turned out that when Tang Dechang was doing hard labor yesterday, his wood attribute ability was noticed by Aunt Li and immediately attracted Aunt Li.

For the Ministry of Agriculture, wood-attributed mutants are of great value.

So Aunt Li immediately discussed it with Zhao Kai and asked Tang Dechang to leave.

Tang Dechang is going to the Ministry of Agriculture to work today.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Wanxi and others were immediately furious.

"Holy shit, is this okay?"

"No, Old Tang, is there anything special about your wood attribute ability? I can use my water attribute ability to water vegetables. No, I also have to apply to the Ministry of Agriculture." Zhang Hengliang shouted immediately.

Li Chongming also felt a little sour, but he was calm and figured it out quickly.

"Okay, Liangzi, Lao Tang's wood attribute ability can give rise to mutant plants, what is your water attribute ability for?"

"You're still watering the plants? Don't you see what the weather is like? Is it really necessary for you to water the plants?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the heavy rain outside, and suddenly they all laughed out loud.

Zhang Hengliang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. He shouted, "What the hell, I am an expert in elemental transformation after all, but I can't use it for construction?"

Tang Dechang chuckled and said, "Hey, Liangzi, Lao Zhou, Chongming, you guys still have old-fashioned thinking."

"What did Mr. Liang say before? There is no worst superpower, only people who don't know how to use superpowers."

"You guys are just too stupid."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hengliang asked quickly.

Li Chongming also looked at Tang Dechang and said, "Old Tang, what's your trick?"

Zhou Wanxi didn't say anything, but he and Xiao Mingtian and Meng Qin all looked at him.

Tang Dechang laughed and said, "Do you know where Xue Guohua, Tao Wei, Zhai Guofeng and the others have gone?"

Zhang Hengliang was stunned, and then asked: "Yes, I didn't see them yesterday, where did they go?"

Tang Dechang smiled and said, "Architecture Department."

"what?"

"They went to the Department of Construction? What do you mean?"

"what happened?"

Several people asked hurriedly.

Tang Dechang blew a sip of tea leaves in the cup, drank it happily, and asked, "What are the special abilities of Tao Wei, Xue Guohua, and Zhai Guofeng?"

Zhou Wanxi understood instantly and exclaimed: "Earth attribute!"

Li Chongming also immediately exclaimed: "I understand, the Construction Department needs to build a house and burn bricks, and their special abilities can be used just right!"

Tang Dechang smiled and said, "Right, now you know what direction you should work towards, right?"

"You must see what you can do instead of just being stupid and harvesting vegetables and doing manual labor every day."

"No matter how hard you work, can there be a power-type mutant who can sell as well as you?"

"Repetitive mechanical labor, can you do it better than speed-type mutants?"

"Think carefully about your abilities and what they are suitable for."

Tang Dechang's words instantly enlightened everyone.

Xiao Mingtian's eyes turned, and he immediately said: "I should go to the weapons factory!"

He is a person with gold-attribute abilities, so going to the weapons factory is absolutely suitable for him.

Zhou Wanxi couldn't help but frowned and said, "My mental strength is strong enough. I am good at telekinesis and mental interference... Where should I go?"

Li Chongming also frowned. He was also a user with gold-attribute abilities, but his gold-attribute abilities were very special. The element he could control was [mercury].

This thing seems to have no idea what to do even if it goes to the weapons factory.

According to his limited knowledge, mercury could be used to make thermometers.

So Li Chongming really doesn’t know where his abilities can be applied.

Meng Qin and Zhang Hengliang will have even more headaches.

They both have water-attributed special powers, and in the era of the great flood, the thing that was most in short supply was water.

For a moment, they couldn't think of where they could apply their abilities.

Seeing that they were at a loss, Tang Dechang reminded them: "If you really can't think of anything, I think you should just stick to your old business."

"Hmm? The old business?"

"Sail?"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. Tang Dechang smiled and said, "I have inquired about it. Mr. Liang is planning to build a fleet and needs a lot of captains."

"You guys are all veteran captains. You are familiar with the ship's equipment and have long been accustomed to life on the water."

"Besides, your abilities are suitable for water combat. If it were you, I would say you should just serve honestly and see if you can join Yangshan's fleet later. It would be good to become a captain."

"Also, don't say I didn't warn you. Underwater treasure hunting is hot in Yangshan right now. People with special abilities who can drive a boat and have water attributes are in great demand."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood.

Zhang Hengliang slapped his thigh and couldn't help saying, "You are really being too picky. Our job is to sail a boat. We almost forgot about this skill."

"Hey, Old Tang, you are the one who is very clear-headed."

Several people burst into laughter, and then they heard Wen Xiao's shouting from below.

After they came to their senses, they quickly ran downstairs to gather.

……

Liang Yuan did not ask too many questions about the Meishan militarized base.

Since he has already handed these people over to Zhao Kai for management, he naturally believes that Zhao Kai can manage them well.

Zhao Kai has managed and trained more than one batch of prisoners, and is no longer the impetuous young man he used to be.

Now he can stand on his own.

At this moment, Liang Yuan, after enjoying life with a few women for the first few days, has now calmed down and started to study and digest the things he brought back from the floating island this time.

Sunshine District, R&D Department.

Li Hanzhong, Ren Jie, Fu Qibo and others are gathered here at the moment.

Everyone looked at a glass measuring cup on the test bench with serious expressions.

At this moment, the glass measuring cup is covered with frozen frost.

And inside this measuring cup, there is a pool of blood that exudes a faint chill!

Liang Yuan looked at the blood in the measuring cup and asked, "I didn't mention blood ice during the meeting because I haven't thought of a good way to extract the gene species I need from the blood ice yet."

"I called everyone here today because I want you to work together to think of a way to purify the ice attribute gene in this blood ice."

"Mr. Liang, such a difficult experiment as gene purification is difficult to accomplish with our current equipment," Li Hanzhong couldn't help but say.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that purifying genes requires high-precision scientific instruments.

The others also looked embarrassed.

It's fine to let them develop weapons, build ships, research power stones, and copy skill symbols.

But who can purify the genes?
Liang Yuan said, "Everyone, it's not as complicated as you think."

"Gene purification does not rely on sophisticated instruments, but on the rejection reaction between genes."

"According to the method I got, we just need to set up a gene baking furnace, put these high-concentration blood essences into it, and then find a way to burn the miscellaneous genes in it. The remaining high-purity ice attribute genes will gradually form gene species."

Liang Yuan briefly explained the principle of the gene seed extraction method that Qiu Gongrong had told him.

The people in front of him were all smart people. After hearing this, they immediately understood the meaning.

Fu Qibo immediately asked, "Is it similar to the salt precipitation method, using the different boiling points of different substances to evaporate the water in the seawater and leave the salt behind?"

His metaphor was very vivid. Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Almost."

"But this blood essence cannot be processed using the boiling point method. Once it evaporates at high temperature, the genes in it will definitely be destroyed."

Fu Qibo nodded: "I am just giving an example. I will definitely not use this method. The Age of Superpowers should have the methods of the Age of Superpowers."

Liang Yuan became interested and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Fu Qibo shook his head: "Not yet, let me think about it."

Li Hanzhong on the side thought for a while and said, "This is a very good research topic. I have an idea that you can refer to."

The others quickly looked at Li Hanzhong.

Li Hanzhong said: "The salting-out method uses the different boiling points of substances to decompose salt water and obtain the substance we want."

"What we want from this blood ice right now is the ice attribute gene inside. Perhaps the key point we need to conquer lies in the ice attribute gene!"

Fu Qibo on the side immediately said: "You mean, we should look for the special characteristics of ice properties, and use this special characteristic to distinguish it from other genes."

"Correct."

Fu Qibo pondered: "The characteristic of ice attribute gene is obviously low temperature."

"Is there any way to allow this pool of blood to kill other genes that are not resistant to low temperatures under low temperatures, thereby retaining only genes with ice attributes?" Fu Qi Bo murmured.

Li Hanzhong added: "It doesn't necessarily have to be low temperature. We can do the opposite, maybe it will have some effect."

Fu Qi Bo was confused and didn't understand.

Li Hanzhong said: "I mean high temperature! The ice attribute can emit low temperature energy, so it must have a certain resistance to high temperature."

"High temperatures can quickly kill genes that are not resistant to high temperatures, but the ice attribute, because of its low-temperature properties, may be able to resist high temperatures to a certain extent."

"Using this method, maybe we can preserve the ice attribute gene."

"But this method may destroy the ice attribute gene, so the temperature needs to be controlled well."

"If you're not careful, even the ice attribute gene might be destroyed, which would be a big loss."

Several people in the room quickly started a heated discussion on these two topics. Ren Jie even used his high-temperature ability to start manufacturing baking furnace equipment.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

A person's thinking is limited and it is impossible to cover everything.

But three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

Didn’t he set up the R&D department just to solve various difficult problems?
The performance of these people did not disappoint him.

In just a few minutes, Professor Li and Fu Qi Bo came up with two solutions.

If Liang Yuan were to think about this himself, he would probably not be able to come up with it in a short period of time.
