You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Are You Even Living Like Yourself Anymore?

Having heard Xie Yingqing’s words, Su Qin’an smiled: “So expensive…? No, you can even tell this? Could it be that female students really have an innate talent in shopping? Are they all innate shopping saints? ”

“… ” Xie Yingqing rolled her eyes at him: “This is common sense! Anyone who has ever shopped online knows this! ”

“According to what you said, Bai Ruoyu’s family should still be rich, and very rich… ”

Su Qin’an pondered: “Then why is he like that? Being rich doesn’t mean you can spend it however you want. And that sentence ‘I’m a bad person’… self-destructive? ”

“I can’t believe you have a bit of brains! ”

“… Xie Yingqing! ”

…

The ocean around 50 degrees south latitude and 160 degrees east longitude has always been a pristine land.

Whether it’s Oceania, South America, or Antarctica, they are all a considerable distance from here. Ocean currents don’t pass through here, the temperature is extremely low, there aren’t many nutrients, and there’s virtually no life.

It can be called a barren land at sea. The only thing you can see every year is the prevailing westerly winds.

This place was discovered by scientists more than a decade ago to have abnormal sounds, not belonging to any known sound. At that time, it was thought to be some kind of ancient giant beast, once causing quite a bit of panic among scientists. However, with the development of technology, scientists have dismissed it as nothing.

At this moment, in this deep sea, several strangely shaped figures are gathering.

Saying they are strangely shaped isn’t quite right, after all, they all have the most basic human appearance, it’s just that their bodies look a little more ethereal than ordinary people.

“How is the Lord? ”

One person asked: “How much strength has been restored? ”

“Who knows! ”

Another person said: “Last time, we finally had a little bit of a breakthrough, but it caused too much commotion, almost getting discovered… Let’s have our people hurry up… ”

“There’s no way, it’s not a matter of wanting to be fast or not. ”

The figure sighed: “You also know, it’s not easy for us to do some small actions now, not everyone is willing to cooperate, we lack major partners… especially China, the police officers there are too hard to deal with! They’re all like they’re not afraid of death! You don’t know, one of our people once trafficked five people, and was chased by those police officers for three whole provinces! Almost got caught! ”

“Let’s wait and see, the world now and the world before, seems a little different… ”

…

In a suburban laboratory, Academician Su was hunched over in a house, writing and drawing on a piece of paper.

Improving China’s comprehensive strength cannot only be done through military means, otherwise it will lead to industrial distortion.

The final outcome of industrial distortion…

Refer to the former Soviet Union.

Su Qin’an doesn’t know how to handle economic matters, doesn’t understand them, and doesn’t want to. His current idea is to create a health supplement, one that can ideally be used by everyone.

The effect…? It’s to strengthen the body, and eating more might even prolong life.

This is unlike those pirated health supplements that claim “one bite sends you soaring, two bites make you a god, three bites give you limitless magical power,” this is personally researched by Academician Su!

It can even go further after strengthening the body, such as improving the combat capabilities of soldiers.

In this way, China’s military strength will definitely increase dramatically, and other aspects will also rise rapidly.

However…

What should I choose?

To achieve this effect, Earth’s current food sources definitely won’t work, the only thing that can be used is genetic modification technology.

The system has relevant knowledge, and he has been reading it every night recently, but having knowledge doesn’t mean you can do it.

Every vegetable, fruit, meat, and seafood has its own specific gene, and genetic modification technology cannot be generalized. What to modify, how to modify, what the effect will be, what are the benefits and side effects, whether there will be negative chemical reactions… these are all issues to consider.

Su Qin’an’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Liuhe Qinghuan: Xiao Anan, are you off work yet?

Su Qin’an smiled and put down his pen.

Qin Shiqing’an: Can get off.

Liuhe Qinghuan: What do you mean?

Qin Shiqing’an: I’m an academician now, flexible work hours are quite reasonable, right?

Liuhe Qinghuan: So high-ranking?

“Of course! ”

Su Qin’an’s voice came from a distance: “I’m a person of status and position, after all! ”

Su Qin’an walked up to Xie Yingqing and took her hand: “Why did you suddenly come? Miss me? ”

Although Xie Yingqing had long been used to him saying this, she still inevitably blushed: “… I guess so, will you accompany me to eat? ”

“Why do you suddenly want to eat? ”

Su Qin’an smiled: “Don’t you usually not eat? ”

“Oh, although we are cultivators, we can’t be completely detached from the world! We came from ordinary people, we all started from being ordinary people, how can we… ”

In short, she would absolutely not say that she got hungry watching others eat in videos!

“Okay, okay, you’re right, let’s go! ”

Su Qin’an immediately conceded defeat: “What do you want to eat? I have money now, a Full Imperial Banquet is just a call away! ”

Although he doesn’t have any money on hand, but…

The nearly one million experience points in the system are about time to be used!

Half an hour later, Su Qin’an followed Xie Yingqing walking around, and finally stood in front of…

A dry pot restaurant.

Affordable for anyone, a very common type.

Xie Yingqing ordered a Dry Pot Cauliflower, and began to eat heartily. Her fairy-like appearance contrasted sharply with the surrounding environment, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

“Don’t rush, eat slowly. ”

Looking at Xie Yingqing’s eating manner, Su Qin’an said helplessly: “No one is competing with you! ”

“You really won’t eat? ”

Xie Yingqing picked up a piece of cauliflower and brought it to Su Qin’an’s mouth: “Take a bite, it’s quite good! ”

Su Qin’an couldn’t refuse her, so he ate it: “Hmm… it’s really good… cough cough cough! ”

Xie Yingqing helplessly handed him a glass of water: “What are you rushing for? I’m not competing with you… ”

Su Qin’an drank two sips of water: “I was thinking about genetic modification, I was lost in thought. ”

“You… ”

Xie Yingqing put down her chopsticks, knocked Su Qin’an’s head, and a transparent barrier rose up, isolating the two of them from the outside world: “Do you know why I had to pull you out at this time? ”

Su Qin’an was stunned: “Wasn’t it because you wanted to eat? ”

“If I wanted to eat, would I need to pull you out while you’re at work? ”

Xie Yingqing was furious: “You’re so smart usually, why are you so stupid recently? Are you too engrossed in work! ”

Su Qin’an was a little dumbfounded, not understanding why Xie Yingqing suddenly… got angry?

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: “Recently, I’ve been a little busy with work and haven’t had much time to spend with you… Once I finish the genetic modification, I’ll definitely… ”

“It’s not that. ”

Xie Yingqing interrupted him: “I’m not an ordinary girl, I won’t get angry with you because your work delays our time. ”

Su Qin’an’s following words were blocked, and he fell into thought…

Watching him think, Xie Yingqing finally sighed: “What’s been in your mind lately? It’s all your research… Although you have the System, but… do you still live like yourself? “
