Chapter 355 Three Seeds, All Sown
Chapter 355 Three Seeds, All Sown
In the study in the game world, Yuan Bao listened to Xiao 9's report, a relieved and heartened smile on his face.
Two seeds have grown into towering trees!
The full involvement of state power means that these two technologies will benefit the real world at the fastest speed and on the largest scale!
“The time is right.” Yuan Bao’s eyes were sharp; she knew that the moment to unveil the core “carbon capture” technology was now!
The success of the first two technologies, along with the full support of the country, has cleared away the biggest obstacles to understanding and trust for the most important third technology!
"Xiao 9, execute the final stage of 'Spark Seeding'!" Yuan Bao commanded decisively. "Perform a final safety and description optimization of our sealed 'new high-efficiency CO2 adsorption/conversion porous composite material' formula and the simplified preparation process of the first stage."
Then, under the name of an anonymous contributor to the "Spark" project, the email was sent directly to the highest-secret email address of the National Special Command Center for the "Spark Program"! The email subject was: "Spark's Third Gift: The Key to a Zero-Carbon Future." The email body contained only one sentence: "May this spark help China ignite a clean future. We await good news as needed on the road ahead."
"Understood!" Xiao 9's voice was filled with a sense of historical mission. "'Carbon capture' technology package is finally packaged! Email encryption level upgraded to the system limit! Target: National Special Project Command Core Server (directly controlled by General Li)... Send!"
This email, like a thunderclap, exploded directly in the core of the newly established "Spark Program" command center!
When General Li personally decrypted and read the email in an absolutely secure room, and saw the incredible description of the "new porous composite material" that was consistent with the previous two technologies, as well as the amazing data on its conversion of CO2 under mild conditions, even this old general who had experienced countless storms could not help but gasp!
"'Spark'...the third gift...the key to a zero-carbon future..." General Li murmured, repeating the words from the email, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented brilliance.
He abruptly stood up and issued the highest command into the communicator:
"Order! The 'Spark Project' command center is on high alert! Mobilize the top teams of materials, chemical, and energy experts, concentrate the highest priority resources, and immediately verify this 'third gift'! At the same time, activate the highest-level 'source tracing' plan—not investigation, but search! With the utmost sincerity and goodwill, search for the comrade who lit the 'spark'! He/she is a national hero!"
Yuan Bao sensed the email being received and the command center being instantly detonated through Xiao 9, and finally completely relaxed, leaning back in his chair.
All three seeds were sown.
The spark has ignited a prairie fire, and it is unstoppable.
“Next,” she said, gazing at the azure sky of the game world outside the window, a tired yet incredibly satisfied smile on her lips, “I’ll leave it to the country, and to time.”
She ignited the spark, and the land of China, with its unparalleled drive, will transform this spark into a blazing fire that illuminates the future of humanity.
As the initial spark ignited by this "spark," she can temporarily step back and wait for the flowers to bloom, and begin to contemplate how to use the power of her peak and the peace of reality to fulfill the next chapter of her and her family's life journey.
The third gift from "Spark"—the key to "carbon capture" technology—has been solemnly handed over to the nation.
Yuan Bao sensed through Xiao 9 the violent tremors of the "Spark Program" command center, as if a giant boulder had been thrown into a deep pool, and the terrifying efficiency of the state machinery operating at full capacity. The last weight in his heart finally lifted.
Subsequent verification, engineering, and even the potential dramatic changes in the global energy and environmental landscape are no longer battlegrounds that require her personal involvement.
She ignited the spark that illuminated the path ahead; her mission is complete.
That heavy sense of responsibility for the nation and its people transformed into a tranquil solace deep within my heart.
In the game world, the tense figures who used to be writing furiously or concentrating on deductions are no longer seen in the study of a courtyard house in Beijing.
Instead, Yuan Bao leaned against the soft couch by the window, holding a book, and lazily flipped through it in the warm afternoon sunlight.
Outside the window, Grandpa's Tai Chi movements became increasingly fluid and graceful, and the faint laughter of Grandma and Aunt Yuan drifted over. Pingping chased a butterfly across the courtyard, and everything was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
Yuan Bao left the game world with satisfaction and returned to the real world. The picture of life had shed all its gloom and unfolded into a scene of peace, abundance, and warmth.
In the spacious and bright single-level apartment, sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows and falls on the gleaming floor.
As Yuan Ma hummed a little tune, she happily prepared dinner in the modern kitchen, ignoring Xiao Xiaobai's protests, with an unprecedentedly relaxed smile on her face.
Yuan Bao watched his son interact with Xiao Jiu, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.
She took out some snacks and enjoyed a leisurely morning tea time with Xiaozhi.
Little 9 got its wish and received a small piece of the special honey cake it had been eyeing for a long time. It squinted its eyes contentedly, floated in the air, and nibbled on it bit by bit, making happy "mmm" sounds.
After a relaxing and enjoyable day, the sun sets, painting the sky a brilliant golden-red hue.
Yuan Bao set up an astronomical telescope on the platform.
"Xiao Zhi, come here, look at the stars." Yuan Bao carried Xiao Zhi to the observation pier.
"Wow! So bright! So many!" Ash exclaimed through his goggles, seeing the dazzling Milky Way. His exclamation was even more awe-inspiring than when he saw the ocean during the day.
Yuan Bao sat on the folding chair next to him, gently holding his son, gazing up at the deep night sky, free from light pollution and studded with diamond-like stars.
"Mommy," Xiao Zhi nestled in Yuan Bao's arms, his voice tinged with a dreamy quality, "It's like we're living in a fairy tale... We have a campervan, the ocean, stars, and a flying little 9... Mommy, do you have magic powers?"
Yuan Bao didn't notice when Xiao Zhi discovered Xiao Jiu's secret of being able to fly. Her heart was filled with warmth. She lowered her head and kissed the top of her son's head, her voice as soft as the night breeze: "Mommy doesn't have magic. But Mommy is very lucky and works very hard. That's why I was able to bring Xiao Zhi to see such a beautiful world."
She looked up, her gaze piercing through the dazzling starry sky, as if she could sense in the distance that her mother, Yuan Ma (Zhang Xiulan), was experiencing a new life in the game world, making up for her regrets.
Perhaps, Mother is reliving the dreams of her youth?
Perhaps she is experiencing choices she has never had before?
That shared secret of "perfection" made Yuan Bao's heart softer and more at ease.
"Little 9," Yuan Bao asked softly in her mind, "Is there... any news from Mom?"
"The old lady's login status is very stable!" Little 9 responded immediately, lying contentedly on Yuan Bao's lap, her little belly round and full. "Her mood is positive! The system reports that she is in a... um... art-filled scene? She seems very happy! Specific details are protected by privacy, so Little 9 cannot peek, but her vital signs and mental state both indicate that she is enjoying that 'restart' time!"
"That's good." Yuan Bao was completely relieved.
She turned her gaze away and focused on helping Xiaozhi identify constellations, telling him ancient legends about the starry sky.
As night deepened, Xiao Zhi fell into a deep sleep in the warm room, a satisfied smile on his face.
Yuan Bao tucked him in, then walked back to her room alone. Leaning against the railing, she gazed at the peaceful, tranquil shadows of the moonlight and the vast, boundless starry sky.
She was enveloped in ultimate tranquility.
The worries of reality have long since faded away, the responsibilities to the family and the country have been fulfilled, and the future of the family is full of hope.
Yuan Bao closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the free and peaceful air.
