Chapter 489 - 274: Eyes Opening Beneath the Immortal Grass Leaves
Bai Mo sat behind the computer, waiting just a few minutes before receiving a mass email from the Secret Brain Office, sent to every committee member, expert, and member of the Immortal Committee.
[We regret to inform everyone that the growth of Immortal Grass has indeed been blocked by the Ancient Immortal...]
Bai Mo quickly skimmed through it.
The email had no substantial content, merely sounding the alarm and setting the tone, urging the entire Immortal Committee to take immediate action!
The office door was knocked on, and Mo Lanyou entered, clutching a computer.
"Did you receive the email?
"The incident has been characterized; the growth of Immortal Grass is indeed blocked. It’s said that some expert used mathematical methods to deduce it. I wonder which mathematician is proficient in both plants and statistics? Um... Bai Mo, was it you?"
The atmosphere in the office was slightly awkward.
Mo Lanyou glanced at Bai Mo with an odd look, chuckling.
"There’s no need to be so serious about this.
"Have you heard about that infamous historical hacker attack? It actually involved bribing the cleaning staff at the other party’s server room to unplug the power cord every hour.
"Our situation is likely similar.
"I reckon there’s a large-scale infiltration of Ancient Immortal disciples being utilized by the Ancient Immortal!
"Look outside the window downstairs; they’re investigating right now!"
Bai Mo stood up, shoulder to shoulder with Mo Lanyou, and looked out the window downstairs at the Immortal Grass Cultivation Base. Indeed, small cars were coming and going, and various Immortal Technique Committee members in white uniforms were taking away staff from the cultivation base for questioning.
These committee members in white uniforms all underwent Immortal-related scrutiny; they had no ties to Immortals and were just ordinary people.
Bai Mo frowned slightly.
"Our Immortal Grass Cultivation Base staff should have all undergone Immortal-related scrutiny, right?
"Even if a few slipped through the cracks... could it really cause such a massive blockade?"
This matter felt counterintuitive.
Moreover, within the cultivation base, there were many cameras monitoring every task and numerous sensors monitoring every indicator.
Mo Lanyou remained optimistic.
Bai Mo, however, sensed something amiss. The Big Golden Cuff on his shoulder wore a white coat and mirrored his master’s frown, gazing down through the window.
Before long, Bai Mo’s phone vibrated.
He pulled it out to see a message from Professor Zhang in the West State workgroup.
[Not optimistic!]
[Our cultivation base staff are essentially problem-free]
[The work processes captured by the cameras all comply with regulations]
[The indicators detected by the sensors are all normal]
So, is this not a social engineering issue?
Mo Lanyou looked stunned, exchanging a glance with Bai Mo.
Then, the issue is with...
[The Immortal Grass we planted itself has gone wrong]
...
The entire Immortal Grass Building was bustling with activity.
Researchers in white coats, holding either documents or samples, moved in and out of the corridor, all with solemn expressions on their faces.
Bai Mo, the Big Golden Cuff, and Mo Lanyou, two people and a fox, three white coats, arrived together at the Immortal Grass Analysis Center.
They found Qu Hailou and Professor Fang, among others, waiting for the fit results.
Professor Fang greeted Bai Mo with a wry smile.
"Our newly equipped supercomputer boasts strong computing power, a large capacity, and the most advanced systems and algorithms.
"We’re itching to do something big with it.
"If this Immortal Grass endeavor is truly blocked, these machines... sigh..."
Qu Hailou pursed his lips.
"If that’s the case, it seems our systems and algorithms would have been developed in vain as well."
On the screen, the progress bar swiftly scrolled.
Soon, five pop-up windows appeared.
"This is the analysis result of Seven Extremes Purple."
Qu Hailou was about to look but suddenly realized and stepped aside.
Professor Fang was about to sit down but suddenly smiled and stepped aside.
"Expert Bai Mo, please."
Bai Mo didn’t sit down; he just bent over to pick up the mouse and manipulated the three-dimensional models, examining them from every angle.
This was the analysis result of Seven Extremes Purple, which Bai Mo was very familiar with, as was Mo Lanyou.
"It seems like there’s no issue?
"The components and structures remain unchanged."
Mo Lanyou frowned slightly.
However, Bai Mo closed these structural windows, clicked the mouse several times, opened the project folder, and skillfully opened a certain file to find a few parameters.
"The various components and structures haven’t changed.
"But their content and proportions have changed."
Everyone exchanged glances, while Qu Hailou, Mo Lanyou, and others were unfamiliar with the engineering files.
The Big Golden Cuff stood on the desk, resembling its master as they both faced the screen, maintaining a serious expression, and nodded lightly.
Professor Fang, understanding more than most, was staring at the screen, dumbstruck.
"Is it really... really... really the Immortal Grass that’s gone wrong?
"This..."
While Bai Mo reported the progress in the group chat, he led Mo Lanyou and the Big Golden Cuff, three white coats, their hems fluttering in the wind, leaving the Immortal Grass Analysis Center to head next door to the Immortal Grass Editing Center.
There, they saw Professor Yue and her group of students intensely conducting gene sequencing, testing what’s different about the genetic sequences of previously stored Immortal Grass samples and the latest ones.
"Everyone, work harder.
"We can’t explore much, but every little effort counts.
"If this issue can’t be resolved, our lab work is finished!"
The students kept a stern demeanor, either operating instruments or mixing reagents.
The computers, instruments, software in the computers, materials, and even the knowledge in the heads of the people in this lab were all dedicated to Immortal Grass editing!
