"It's not up to us, it's up to everyone."

Ye Zhou had a relaxed look on his face, and Lin Ling, who was beside him, also smiled. At this moment, neither of them thought about the future that was too far away. The matter about the crisis in the neighboring dimension that he had just talked about was like a wisp of dissipating wind, leaving no traces in their hearts.

For Ye Zhou, he never doubted the correctness of the path he chose, because he could indeed see part of the future from the simulator, and he also personally experienced the miracles created by China again and again.

But what about Lin Ling? Ye Zhou was actually not able to explain clearly where her confidence came from, but it seemed that her confidence was the same as that of all other ordinary people.

After a meal, the two of them took a walk around the small square of the Huayuan Courtyard for a while. Under the evening breeze, they finally stopped talking about those heavy topics, which gave Ye Zhou a long-lost rest - a spiritual rest.

The night sky still envelopes this land, just like the sea blue island thousands of kilometers away.

----There are people there doing the same thing as them.

Although it was the end of February, the rice fields of the Hailan Academy of Agricultural Sciences were already filled with frogs. Xu Lei held a cell phone in one hand and half a popsicle that had almost turned into water in the other hand, and inspected her soldiers in the field.

This batch of rice has just been sown for a while and is sparsely erected in the paddy fields. From a distance, it looks like swaying weeds. If you don’t look at it carefully, it is easy to ignore them, and instead you are attracted by the full moon reflected in the paddy fields.

After she walked to the end of the rice fields and confirmed that all the facilities were normal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She found a flat place on the edge of the field to sit down, and carefully put her feet into the water of the rice fields.

But in a blink of an eye, she took her feet back as if she was electrocuted. The snakes that were placed in the rice fields before had already ended their hibernation. Although they were all non-venomous snakes, she didn't want to be climbed onto the instep by a slippery object during this leisure time.

There are still three days before she left Hailan Agricultural Science Institute. During this period, there are very few jobs assigned to her. Usually, she just writes reports during the day and weeds in the evening. If she hadn't asked to come over to inspect the fields, she would have been lying on the bed and slowly fall asleep watching the movies on her phone.

After sitting quietly for a few minutes, she tentatively touched her hands back, and after confirming that the ridges were dry, she lay down without regard for her image.

She felt the slight sting of the grass blades on her back, took a breath and slowly vomited it out.

There are three days left, and we will leave this familiar place.

And the direction she was going was a piece of land she had never set foot on.

She had heard before that there were deserts, snow mountains, wind and sand, and oasis on that land. She had also heard of raisins, cantaloupes, big plate chicken and red willow barbecue on that land, but her understanding of it was actually only in short videos.

Recording beautiful short videos like this cannot dispel her fear of the unknown, just as a series of official messages cannot dispel her fear of the end of the world.

However, most of the time, she deliberately controls herself, controls herself not to think too much, controls herself to do what she should do.

-----Just like this time I took the initiative to apply to go there for agricultural reclamation experiments.

It is better to keep yourself busy than to join the pastoral organization like some of your colleagues, then be caught by the officials and sent to the northwest to plant trees--but it seems that the ending is not too different?

They go to plant trees and farm themselves, and they will be together.

Xu Lei couldn't help but feel a little funny. She didn't understand what those people were thinking. She obviously did the same research as herself, and some of the seniors who had witnessed the development of agricultural technology from scratch, why did they lose their hearts and think that pastoral life is beautiful?

Have they forgotten the hard days they had so quickly?

Disaster is really a terrible thing--or death is really a terrible thing.

The fear of death, combined with the twisted, beautiful memories of the past, makes those people lose their beliefs.

The saying that the older I get, the more I fear death, seems to be a bit scientific.

The croaking sounds of frogs in my ears were still coming, and Xu Lei's thoughts were floating freely. She thought about whether to catch a batch of frogs to breed, and then she remembered the bullfrog pot that she had just eaten two days ago, then she remembered the senior brothers and sisters who ate bullfrogs with her, and then her family.

In fact, girls like her are going to that land that has not yet been fully developed. Even the most enlightened parents have concerns. In order to convince them, they have spent a lot of effort to make video calls just by making a lot of video calls.

Even so, my family's attitude has not changed completely. Maybe during the holiday three days later, I still have to chat with them in person...

Thinking of this, Xu Lei took out her cell phone and was about to click on the chat interface of the family group on her cell phone, but found that at some point, there were several missed calls on her cell phone.

The caller was the leader of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and her master.

After hesitating for a while, she sat up from the ridge of the field, took a look at the time, and then dialed a phone call.

The phone rang twice and was picked up, and the master on the other end seemed a little tired.

"Hey? Lei Lei?"

"Master, what's wrong?"

Xu Lei asked in confusion.

"I have something to discuss with you. Are you still in the field? Come back first, if you haven't finished patroling, you don't have to continue patroling."

Xu Lei stood up, patted the soil stained on her pants and asked:

"What's the matter, Master? So anxious?"

"It's about your work arrangements, and it's a bit different from the beginning. Come back first, let's talk to you in person."

"good."

The two of them didn't say much. After hanging up the phone, Xu Lei walked directly to the dormitory. Twenty minutes later, she met her master in the dormitory where the lights were not turned off.

The latter did not politely ask her, but asked directly:

"Leilei, how much do you know about the Tongtianhe project?"

Xu Lei was stunned and replied:

"Just that...I basically know some of the public information, and then we will understand more closely what is related to us---What's wrong? Is there a problem with the project?"

The master shook his head and replied:

"There is no problem with the project itself, but there is a problem with the project progress."

"You know, this project is about the water source of most rivers in the southwest stage, and if it really sits down, it has a great impact on agriculture in the downstream countries."

"Especially in Yindu, the flow of the Ganges River is conservatively estimated to drop by about 40%, which is a devastating blow to their agricultural system."

"Their agricultural technology is underdeveloped, especially field management technology and water conservancy technology are even more backward. If they lose this amount of water, their grain will definitely not be as simple as reducing output by 40%, but will directly lose."

"So, we are under a lot of pressure from Yindu--they can almost say they want to stop this project from going on by any means."

“We have also done a lot of work and effort, both military and non-military.”

"Recently, we have reached an agreement with them."

"For humanitarian and overall benefits, we decided to provide them with technical assistance to develop water-saving agriculture and refined agriculture in Yindu."

"We need to use agricultural technology in exchange for the smooth progress of the Tongtianhe project."

"To do this, we need a large number of agricultural experts - especially those who have research on field management systems and seedling technology."

"The organization conducted a round of reviews in the early stage, and they saw your information."

"You took the initiative to apply to go to the northwest. The organization believes that you are very strong in terms of initiative and loyalty, so they hope that you can go to Punjab as the first technical support staff."

Speaking of this, the master paused for a moment, then continued to speak:

"To summarize it briefly, the organization hopes that you will take a team to Yindu, and now you are officially seeking your opinions."

Hearing this, Xu Lei's face showed a look of surprise. After a long silence, she asked:

“Is there any security guarantee?”

"The security work is directly guaranteed by our military and police---we will be stationed there."

"If you go...when will you come back?"

"At least two holidays a year, the specific situation depends on your arrangement."

Xu Lei breathed a little relieved and continued to ask:

"Where is my parents? Will anyone do ideological work?"

"The organization will assist, but in principle respect your and your parents' opinions--if they firmly object, the organization will not force it."

"Okay...the last question, is there a chef?"

The master opposite was stunned, and then replied with a helpless smile:

"I haven't seen this detail yet, but if you say you want to have it, there will definitely be one."

Xu Lei, who received the affirmative reply, also smiled. She put down a handful of weeds she had grabbed at some time, moved her fingers that were slightly stiff due to nervousness, and then replied:

"Okay, I agree."
