CHAPTER 643: CHAPTER 617: HOPE FOR TURNING DESERT INTO OASIS

Since the project began, all the students have focused their energy on it.

Ye Chen provided them with incredibly challenging materials, but everyone was determined to thoroughly understand the data.

After all, given that it’s a new species capable of growing in the desert, the difficulty was considerable.

For sure, these students had absolutely no clue and had to explore little by little.

Whenever they faced difficulties, they solved them together.

Finally, they succeeded in understanding the data provided by Ye Chen.

Having mastered the content, the next step was to complete the experiment.

It could be said that the beginning was the hardest part.

Once they pushed open that door, everything began to run smoothly.

The experiments remained challenging, but all the students were driven by determination.

In fact, none of the students, including Deng Xiaochao, ever left the laboratory.

Especially Deng Xiaochao, because he understood that he was the hope of his entire village, working harder than anyone else.

Deng Xiaochao practically ate and slept in the lab.

His spirit deeply moved everyone.

Deng Xiaochao knew that his village was waiting for him, so he had to succeed.

He was once an abandoned baby, rescued by a teacher in the desert.

He grew up on meals given by many families, so the entire village could be considered his benefactors.

Now that he has grown up, he wants to repay them, to bring wealth to his village.

The experiments made progress bit by bit.

The students integrated the knowledge Ye Chen taught them.

Especially when applied in experiments, they realized that Ye Chen was indeed a genius.

After these days of growth, each of them made qualitative progress.

It could be said that their skills are top-notch, no matter which scientific institute they’re in.

Because they have thoroughly mastered this technology.

And all of this is because of Ye Chen.

Without Ye Chen, they wouldn’t have achieved such accomplishments today.

Finally, the experiment succeeded.

At this moment, Elder Wei arrived at the laboratory.

Everyone looked at the seedlings being cultivated in the laboratory.

This lab was entirely built to replicate desert conditions.

Their goal was to create a unique environment akin to the desert.

A few students were nervously recording experimental data.

The final countdown was five minutes.

Five minutes, though short, felt incredibly long for these students.

During this time, they had almost exhausted all their energy on this experimental project.

Now it was finally time to reap the rewards.

All eyes were fixed on the laboratory.

Finally, the five minutes were up.

The experimental machine stopped, the machine opened, and inside was a vibrant green liquid.

Elder Wei was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t Ye Chen supposed to create crops that can grow in the desert?

Seeing the confusion in Elder Wei’s heart, Ye Chen smiled faintly.

"Creating crops in the desert in such a short time is very difficult. It requires us to plant in the desert environment, which would take at least half a year, so we changed direction. This is a genetic potion, which can alter the DNA structure of plants, allowing them to adapt to desert environments."

"What?"

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Elder Wei was shocked.

Ye Chen smiled faintly and handed the experimental data to Elder Wei.

"You can take a look. Our potion, when mixed with a certain percentage of water, can directly modify plants, enabling them to adapt to desert environments. Of course, the fruits remain the familiar fruits and vegetables."

"Can this really work?" Elder Wei was stunned.

Ye Chen nodded: "Based on our experimental data, these plants can indeed grow in desert environments."

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Elder Wei was very excited.

Turning deserts into green oases has always been a dream for many people.

The country has also invested significant manpower and resources in this.

But the results have been minimal.

Now that Ye Chen has developed a genetic potion that can grow plants in the desert, if successful, it could greatly reduce Hua Country’s vegetable import pressure.

That way, we wouldn’t have to rely on foreign imports.

Most importantly, if the experiment is successful, it could perfectly solve the problem of desertification.

The more Elder Wei thought about it, the more excited he became.

Ye Chen took out apple seeds and poured a few drops of potion.

Then he placed the seeds on the experimental machine.

Everyone was closely watching the data output from the machine.

Data showed that the seeds could completely germinate in the desert.

Seeing this result, students hugged each other in excitement.

They knew the experiment was a success.

The happiest person was Deng Xiaochao, who, with tears in his eyes, held Ye Chen’s hand.

"Ye Chen, thank you, really, thank you so much."

Everyone was immersed in joy.

Even Elder Wei couldn’t help but smile.

Ye Chen had once again created a miracle.

Deng Xiaochao looked at the seeds in the lab, tears welling up.

Suddenly, Deng Xiaochao knelt down.

"Mrs. Bai, I succeeded. We can finally grow things in our desert. We can plant trees; our home will no longer be covered in sand."

Deng Xiaochao’s hometown was always impoverished, and it seemed like a luxury to have delicious fruits and vegetables.

Their world was only full of sand.

But now, he finally provided greenery to his homeland.

How could Deng Xiaochao not be excited?

Elder Wei was also very excited.

Desert greening has always been something the country aimed to achieve, but decades of effort often resulted in oases that were quickly reclaimed by the desert.

If this potion truly worked, it would be wonderful.

Elder Wei excitedly asked, "Ye Chen, can I take this potion back for further research?"

Ye Chen nodded.

This invention was meant to benefit future generations, so he didn’t keep it a secret.

Moreover, once the research results prove effective, he was sure they wouldn’t treat him unfairly.

Deng Xiaochao looked at Ye Chen excitedly. Although he didn’t speak, Ye Chen knew his thoughts—he wanted to take the potion back to his hometown.

"Mr. Ye, can I have a portion of this potion? I want to take it back for the folks at home to use."

He knew the last batch of apple planting ended in failure, which was a great blow to the village folks.

If he could take this potion back, it could potentially change the face of his hometown.

Mrs. Bai’s dream of a green oasis was about to come true; how could Deng Xiaochao not feel moved?

So Deng Xiaochao was eager to take the potion back.

Knowing how much Deng Xiaochao contributed to developing the potion, Ye Chen nodded: "Sure, you can take a bottle back."

Ye Chen deeply admired those who were grateful and devoted to their hometowns.

Deng Xiaochao was ecstatic upon receiving Ye Chen’s permission: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Deng Xiaochao was sincerely grateful to Ye Chen. Without Ye Chen, he wouldn’t know how to face his village.

As Deng Xiaochao reached the door, Ye Chen suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, when the fruits are harvested, I can help you find someone to market them, how about Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya?"

Hearing the names of these two celebrities, Deng Xiaochao was stunned!
