Chapter 504 - 281: This Is Humanity’s Home Field!
"The malfunctioning incubator overheating and killing kittens and puppies, that’s something that’s happened before.
"Malfunctioning oxygen machines causing electric shock, electrocuting an entire pool of fish, that’s something that’s happened before too.
"Maybe we can try, in simulation software, or in integrated circuits, or some inconspicuous components... to send these kinds of incidents into the dreams of the Ancient Immortal?"
The meeting room fell silent.
The expressions on everyone’s faces froze, suddenly realizing that what Expert Bai Mo said seemed to make sense?
This wasn’t a particularly hard idea to come up with.
But when facing the Ancient Immortal, they instinctively avoided this idea, lacking the courage to stand up to him.
Mo Lanyou beamed.
"This is a solution!"
In his mind, the expression of Stone Book Ancient Immortal was peculiar.
"Will this work? Immortals aren’t fools, would they really use your junk that can overheat and electrocute?"
In Professor Zhang’s mind, Qing Lu Ancient Immortal, sitting by the campfire, was also momentarily stunned.
He understands a lot about modern technology, but there’s much more he doesn’t understand.
But he understood one principle: the more complex something is, the easier it is to tamper with...
"Hahaha, that’s good, that’s good!"
In the meeting room, gazes crossed the meeting table, looking towards Bai Mo.
They didn’t know what to say.
Suddenly someone started clapping, and they all followed suit and began clapping!
Amidst the sound of applause, everyone had a smile on their face!
The swamp-like atmosphere of the meeting room disappeared, the air became light and lively!
...
The research building was as busy as ever.
In the corridor, researchers in white coats, some holding documents, some carrying samples, were swiftly walking.
The higher the floors, the fewer people there were.
On the topmost floor, there were only a few offices.
"Is it starting now?
"Proposed in the morning, action started in the afternoon?"
Bai Mo looked at the help tasks on the computer and grinned.
Then he bent down and started writing and calculating.
Next to him, Fang Xiaoyu was equally busy, frowning, and glaring as she revised the returned application forms.
Wuyun Xue was squatting on the desk, counting her fox claws, frowning, with a look of concentration, reviewing and recalling the technical management of Ghost Eye One.
This thing is really hard!
As a fox, she must also work hard, think a lot, and review more to avoid making mistakes!
...
Screech...
The car stopped next to the Rotating Bamboo Grove.
Bai Mo got out of the car with Overalls, Butterfly Knot, and Small and Big Eyes, and entered the bamboo grove.
"In the future, the herbs on Fox Mountain will be divided into three categories.
"Those like West Pillar Grass and Octagonal Peach, used to make plant fertilizers, should be mass-produced and automated, only pursuing maximum yield.
"Those like Rotating Bamboo, Big Mouth Flower, Bellflowers, and Pipeline Tree, which have special uses, should be cultivated meticulously!"
In the lush green bamboo grove, each thick Rotating Bamboo occasionally rotated slowly to accommodate the erratic winds blowing from all directions.
A group of ten foxes made up the Rotating Bamboo Maintenance Team, scattered around.
Little Melon Hide and Big Melon Hide were guarding a large pot, mixing special fertilizers for the Rotating Bamboo.
While mixing, they occasionally picked up a fresh bamboo leaf to taste.
"Yip yip yip yap yap!"
"Yap yip yip yip!"
The two foxes had just joined this group and were a bit unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, they saw a shadow fall over them, turned their heads, and saw their master’s smiling face.
"Does this fresh bamboo leaf numb your mouth?
"Remember, if the bamboo leaf numbs your mouth, add more Snake Grass to the fertilizer."
The two foxes frowned, each picking up a bamboo leaf, chewing it, savoring it, indeed felt a numbing sensation in their mouths, drooling and letting their mouths droop.
"Yap..."
Bai Mo patted their heads.
"Hey, no need to chew so hard next time, just tear a small piece, that’s enough to taste the numbness."
Bai Mo crouched down, explained some knowledge points, and the two foxes furrowed their brows, counting their fox claws, with serious faces, trying hard to remember!
"Take your time."
With a word of advice, Bai Mo got up and left. Not far away, on the tall bamboo, two foxes wrapped their tails around the trunk, holding cleavers, trimming the side branches of the Rotating Bamboo one by one.
Bai Mo looked up for a while and shouted aloud.
"Keep the leaves between twenty and thirty, and compare the thickness with Fox Claw!
"Cut the thick ones, keep the thin ones..."
Above, the large wishful-shaped cleaver pointed at a side branch.
"Ying ying ying..."
Bai Mo swept his Divine Sense and responded promptly.
"All with vertical stripes at the bamboo joints should be cut off!"
...
After a tour around the Rotating Bamboo Forest, Bai Mo and a few apprentices drove away to look at the Big Mouth Flower medicine field.
In the carriage, Small and Big Eyes and Butterfly Knot had their heads together, speaking in fox language. The skills taught by the master, they were also making an effort to remember!
What matters on Fox Mountain is having a variety of skills!
Overalls grasped the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, driving while tilting his head and giggling.
He just saw, in the bamboo forest, several particularly thick Rotating Bamboo trees! After they mature and get chopped down to make cars, the car’s power and torque can be upgraded again!
Bai Mo sat on the car roof, blowing cold wind, watching the medicine fields on both sides of the road, holding a tablet, sometimes jotting down notes, sometimes scanning left and right, checking the apprentices’ work.
"All really quite good!"
Fox Mountain’s industry upgrade took big steps, the apprentices had a lot of techniques and knowledge to learn, initially thinking there would be some trouble... but the apprentices proved remarkably stable, allowing the whole system upgrade to go smoothly!
"They pretty much mastered the daily work flow.
"For some weird issues that arise later, no need to rush, teach them slowly when the time comes."
...
Dusk fell, the foxes wrapped up a day’s work and headed to the dining hall.
"Ying ying ying, ow ow ow!"
Peach Blossom Eyes raised a wine cup in the left paw and held a skewer of grilled mushrooms in the right, eating with an oily face.
Today’s dining hall has quite a few dishes!
Chestnut sponge cake, chicken rice stir-fried with okra, grilled mushrooms, grape jam, and freshly brewed sour plum wine!
Beside, White Earrings lifted his head from the bowl, smiling broadly, face and mouth all covered with sponge cake crumbs and chestnut bits.
"Ying ying ying!"
Star Ear and Moon Ear, licking the jam from the corners of their mouths, whispered to each other... wondering if it’s because of these couple of days of industry upgrades, they’ve been using their brains too much, and the master wants to nourish them?
Just as they were talking, a group of a dozen senior and junior brothers staggered past beside a small stone table.
Leading the team were three senior chefs: Black Nose, Dark Circles, and Black Tail.
The ten senior and junior brothers behind were also striding proudly, wearing tall chef hats!
Black Nose patrolled the dining hall, his eyes rolling, observing the dining situation of the senior and junior brothers, checking which dishes sold quickly and which sold slowly, making adjustments according to feedback.
Previously, it was just the three of them, busy every day, managing to cook the meals was already quite good!
But now it’s different, with ten more senior and junior brothers arranged in the dining hall, they can work together to cook more meticulously, making the senior and junior brothers enjoy their meals more.
Bai Mo was also eating at a dining table in the corner of the dining hall.
Grabbing a piece of chestnut sponge cake and stuffing it into his mouth, chewing, full of sweet and soft flavor.
Meanwhile, his gaze went to the Fire Toad, looking at the present world’s night, watching the night at the "Fangyue Machinery Factory."
"This name, really feels familiar."
At this moment, Fangyue Machinery Factory didn’t rest but was brightly lit, still working overtime busily.
In the electronics lab, several boxes of microcontrollers piled in the corner.
Two engineers were guarding the computer, burning programs into the microcontrollers.
"For such a small workload, using such good microcontrollers seems quite wasteful."
"Who cares, anyway the boss has plenty of money."
They joked and laughed, occasionally looking at the microcontroller indicator lights, not noticing the black popup on the computer screen flashed and vanished.
Squeak...
The door behind them opened, and a woman in a white coat walked in.
"How’s it going?"
The two of them quickly stood up, respectfully.
"Boss, everything’s normal!"
...
In the Fox Mountain dining hall, Bai Mo adjusted the angle through the Fire Toad, looking at the woman’s face.
"Is it her?
"Her hairstyle has changed, and she’s wearing sunglasses, but her face shape hasn’t changed, facial features haven’t changed.
"She was sentenced to life suspension back then...
"Is this a jailbreak?"
This woman turned out to be the criminal who once wanted to use Fang Xiaoyu and other female coworkers to grow flowers, Professor Zhang’s former graduate student, Wang Fangyue!
