Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

"Axue, you are aware of the dangers involved?" There was a hint of blame in his voice, but more of it was concern and care.

Jiang Xue sighed softly and looked into the distance, as if recalling every detail of her time with Xuan Yuchen. "Qingyu, some things are destined. There is an inseparable connection between Achen and I. I can't watch him face all this alone, and I can't watch him fall into danger and do nothing."

Feng Qingyu felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

But he was more worried about her safety. "Axue, the affairs of the royal family are far more complicated and dangerous than you think. Once you are involved, it will be difficult to extricate yourself. I..." His words were full of helplessness and worry.

Jiang Xue turned around and looked at Feng Qingyu's worried eyes. She shook her head. "Qingyu, I know you are worried about me. But please believe me, I will protect myself.

"Does he know?" Feng Qingyu confirmed again, with a hint of anxiety and worry in his tone.

"He doesn't know," Jiang Xue shook her head gently, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "but I know his identity. He has his responsibilities and mission, and I have my own choices."

Feng Qingyu hesitated to speak. He wanted to say something to dissuade Jiang Xue, but when he saw the determination and resoluteness in her eyes, he swallowed his words back.

"But..." He started again, trying to find a suitable reason to stop her.

"Take me to Beijing in half a month!" Jiang Xue interrupted him, her tone firm and resolute.

She knew what her decision meant, but she knew even more clearly that it was something she had to do.

Feng Qingyu was silent for a moment, but finally nodded. "Okay, I'll take you there. But you have to promise me that you must be careful and protect yourself." His words were full of worry and reluctance, but he also understood that he could not stop Jiang Xue's decision.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and looked at Feng Qingyu gratefully. "Thank you, Qingyu. I will, I will definitely protect myself."

......

Jiangjia Base

"Xier, I'm going to go to the Academy of Sciences for ten days of seclusion. There may be a lot of things to deal with during this period, so I have to devote myself to research." There was an unquestionable determination in the tone of the woman who spoke. Jiang Xue was wearing simple and elegant clothes, and her brows revealed an extraordinary temperament.

"Miss, don't worry. Xier will take care of everything in the mansion and won't let anyone disturb you."

"Well, that's good. Xier, I won't meet anyone who wants to see me during this period. No matter who it is, I will refuse them on the grounds that I'm in seclusion. If there is anything important, you can wait until I come out of seclusion and tell me." The woman reminded again, her eyes revealing her importance and expectations for this seclusion.

"I understand, young lady. Don't worry, Xier will guard the door and wait for your return."

......

"President Li, I need an exact number of how many four-star academicians are left in the base," Jiang Xue said with a serious expression.

"Chief, please rest assured. I will go and count the specific names and number of people right away." Dean Li responded respectfully, then turned around and prepared to leave to carry out this important task.

Dean Li hurried back to his office. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to open the documents and began to carefully check the list of four-star academicians and their current status.

He read the documents with full concentration, and made detailed notes on paper from time to time, for fear of missing any key information.

As time passed, he remained highly focused, ensuring that every detail was recorded completely.

After careful and meticulous statistical work, Dean Li finally succeeded in obtaining accurate figures.

He nodded with satisfaction, then carefully organized the valuable data and prepared to report to the patriarch.

"Chief, after my careful counting, there are a total of fifteen four-star academicians still in the base." Dean Li reported to the chief in a firm and proud tone, his eyes revealing an indescribable sense of relief and accomplishment.

However, what he never expected was that Jiang Xue immediately made a shocking request: "Okay, I understand. Go find a few people to help me. I need to make explosives."

"Explosives?" Dean Li couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of astonishment and confusion.

He stared at Jiang Xue with his eyes wide open, seemingly unable to understand this sudden decision. "But... a few days ago, Expert Zhang and you worked together on that thing..." He felt terrified when he thought of that incident.

"That's right." Jiang Xue's voice was calm and firm.

"Where is Expert Zhang? Why hasn't he been promoted to academician yet? He is clearly a rare talent!"

Li Da felt very helpless about this matter.

"Alas, clan leader, Expert Zhang is busy studying explosives all day long. Just because of the points deducted for violating safety regulations, his points are not enough to be promoted to the next level. He can only be demoted." Li Da sighed, his heart full of regret and helplessness.

"Pfft, he is such a talent!" Jiang Xue felt helpless when she heard this.

"Chief, the research and production of explosives must be done with extreme caution. The slightest mistake could lead to disastrous consequences. We must establish strict safety measures and regulatory mechanisms to ensure that the entire process is foolproof."

"Don't worry, Dean Li." Jiang Xue said firmly, "I will personally supervise the entire project to ensure that all links meet safety standards. At the same time, I will also strengthen the guidance and constraints on expert Zhang, so that he can continue to use his expertise while ensuring safety."

Li Da nodded, although he still had some concerns in his heart.

On the other side, the sunlight sprinkled dappled on the weed-covered open space. Zhang Ping was immersed in his "secret base", surrounded by all kinds of strange tools and unfinished experiments.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps and slight panting broke the silence.

"Brother Zhang, you..." Before he could finish his words, a deafening "bang" sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a cloud of thick smoke rising into the sky, scaring the visitor so much that he trembled all over and almost fell to the ground.

He quickly covered his ears, his face turned pale, and he muttered to himself: "I said I wouldn't come! But you insisted on making me come? I'm not married yet, I'm still a baby, what if something happens to me..."

Zhang Ping looked up when he heard the voice, and seeing the miserable state of the man, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The traces of gunpowder and dirt on his face made his smile look particularly funny.

"Hey, Brother Yang, are you okay? You look so scared, but I'm fine."
