Chapter 1805: Beautiful pine resin ball and thesis

At 2:30 PM, the helicopter tied with the giant eagle's claws obtained safe zone entry permission and entered the outer city of the safe zone twenty-five minutes later, landing on the apron inside the Qinglong Battle Team station.

After the cabin door opened, Tang Huai followed Xia Qing off the helicopter and greeted the allies who had already lined up to board the plane. Yang Jin, who was in a wheelchair, came forward with a large bag of things and asked Xia Qing if the mission went smoothly.

"We encountered seven wolves during sampling, no serious conflict occurred, and all the samples that should have been collected were collected. Subsequent arrangements will have to wait until the test results come out." Xia Qing briefly introduced the mission content. Others couldn't understand, but she knew Yang Jin understood. Then, Xia Qing took a small packaging bag out of her pocket and handed it to Yang Jin, "This is something I discovered when sampling in the evolutionary forest. It's non-toxic and looks okay."

The packaging bag was transparent, and the allies who were lining up and the Qinglong team members behind Yang Jin could all see that what Xia Qing took out was a pine resin ball.

Entering the natural disaster years, Blue Star organisms underwent various evolutions, and the evolution of plants was also strange. Some pine trees evolved so that as long as they were attacked by the outside world, the wounds would secrete a large amount of pine resin, wrapping and killing the pests and other organisms that attacked them.

The highly sticky pine resin, together with the organisms it wrapped, slowly solidified and became wax-like, falling to the ground and burying into the soil. After millions of years, it might become a beautiful gemstone—amber.

The wax-like pine resin ball Xia Qing brought back hadn't undergone the baptism of time, so its hardness wasn't high and its transparency wasn't enough, which was very common in the evolutionary forest. Most human squads carrying out missions in the evolutionary forest wouldn't collect this kind of thing as materials because it couldn't be eaten and couldn't be sold for points.

Only the extra-budgetary logistics personnel in the collection task team would pick up these little things. Because the remuneration for their missions is very low, they won't let go of any supplies that can be collected with low risk and exchanged for points. As long as they don't delay the progress of the mission, the captain of the task team won't stop them. After returning to the safe zone, these little things collected by the extra-budgetary logistics personnel also belong to them.

Xia Qing, who often carried out missions as an extra-staff logistics team member, would cut down the pine resin she found on the road that had okay visibility, bring it back to the safe zone, divide it, and polish it smooth before selling it to the grocery store at a price of 0.1-0.5 points per piece.

Survivors who could still live would occasionally buy one as a gift for their families.

After entering the territory and becoming a farmer, Xia Qing no longer needed to rely on earning this kind of small money to maintain her livelihood. She still searched for materials when going on missions, but she hadn't picked up pine resin balls for a long time because the companions in her territory and her idol Third Brother didn't like this thing.

She cut down this piece of pine resin today and polished it smooth on the helicopter because she had a boyfriend.

The 2:30 PM intense light shone through this wax-yellow ball, making the little wild flower with stretched petals inside the ball clearly visible, as if time had suddenly frozen when this flower was blooming just right.

Yang Jin had bought many pine resin balls that Xia Qing brought back from the evolutionary forest, and this one was the most beautiful.

He held the pine resin ball and looked toward Xia Qing, smiling more brilliantly than a flower, "It's truly beautiful, many thanks, Sister Qing."

Of course it was beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't have brought it back. This was a gift that could make her boyfriend like it without spending points. Xia Qing was in a very good mood and nodded gently, "I'm returning to the territory."

Yang Jin handed the black bag on his legs to her, "I bought some New Year's goods, Sister Qing can take them back; there are dumplings I wrapped last night in the refrigerator."

Xia Qing responded, carrying the heavy bag onto the helicopter, and flew toward the territory.

The two protagonists were very calm, but the melon-eating crowd who witnessed the intimate interaction between the two top-tier combat powers of Hui-3 were very excited.

Who could have thought it? Xia Qing, who always had a straight face, was actually so warm and romantic. She would bring back a pine resin ball for her boyfriend when going on a mission in the evolutionary forest.

And also, have you seen what Yang Jin, who always had a straight face, looks like when he smiles? Zhu Li dared to bet that if a photo was taken and hung on the internet, it could definitely be sold for the harvest of 5 acres of land!

Should we bet on what filling the dumplings in Sister Qing's refrigerator are?

The helicopter landed on the apron of Territory No. 1, everyone dispersed and returned to their own territories, and Xia Qing drove Zhang Song and Zhang Zhang to Territory No. 7 to hand in the mission.

Zhang San released a box of snacks, two dragon fruits, and a cup of sugarcane juice to Xia Qing, and after entering the laboratory with the bullfrog for half an hour, he walked out, his expression so kind it was dripping, "It's a female frog, it can mate with the male frog you caught last year and breed a batch of Yi-evolution descendants."

Great, the opportunity to hand in the thesis had arrived!

Xia Qing's eyes were bright as she asked, "Third Brother, when I was looking for bullfrogs in that water pool, I didn't find mineral crystals. Is the Yi-5 contained in this bullfrog also in the form of Yi-ion chelated mineralizing enzyme?"

The Yi-ion chelated mineralizing enzyme in and on the bullfrog's body could combine with radioactive ions in the water to form mineral crystals insoluble in water, which would settle to the bottom of the water. Therefore, in principle, mineral crystal particles could be found in the bottom silt of the water pond where this kind of bullfrog lived.

How did Xia Qing know these things? Of course, she had flipped through the materials and memorized them in advance.

Zhang San drank a sip of sugarcane juice and answered Xia Qing's question patiently, "The crystal particles are very small and very hard to find with the naked eye. Did you take samples of the silt at the bottom of the pond?"

"I took samples, they are all placed on that shelf." Xia Qing immediately pointed to the sampling tubes and sampling bags neatly and cleanly placed on the shelf beside her.

Zhang San's expression became even kinder.

Xia Qing clenched her little fist secretly and continued to coax, "Third Brother, can the two bullfrogs breed descendants this year? Can they be released into the river in our territory to purify the water quality?"

Zhang San's expression was gentle, "If breeding is successful, release them into the reservoir in your territory first to verify the environmental adaptability of the species. If it meets the standard, it can be released as a water quality purifier for the surrounding evolutionary forest."

"I see this kind of bullfrog is quite sturdy, it will definitely breed successfully. By then, I will definitely keep good water quality records for the reservoir and regularly report the data to you." Xia Qing naturally brought up the thesis, "Third Brother, I've finished writing the thesis on strawberry breeding. Can I send it to you to take a look now?"

Wrote it so quickly? Zhang San nodded gently.

Xia Qing jumped up happily, "Received, many thanks Third Brother, I'll send it to you as soon as I get back!!!"

Zhang San pressed his forehead, "Sit down." ===== CHAPTER 1806 =====

After Xia Qing sent it, she held the fruit peel bag, waiting for the mentor's verdict with her heart in her throat.

Zhang San frowned as he finished reading. He looked up and saw the "new human" with a colorful face across from him looking at him nervously, and he sighed.

"It's written passably. You take photos of the experimental data notebook and send them to me. I'll have Zhang Zhang Xiaoli supplement the data and modify the wording, and then it can be submitted."

Xia Qing jumped up happily, "Received, thank you very much, Third Brother. I'll send it immediately after I go back!!!"

Zhang San pressed his forehead, "Sit down."
