I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1061 - 1160: Settle the Lungfish Before Setting Out!

There are those responsible for recruiting, managing money, handling business, setting goals, and of course, the research staff, among others.

The conference room was filling up quickly.

Jing Shu didn’t waste any words. She knew most of these people, though some were from Jun Bao’s side of the township government, like the finance department and a few from procurement, since the funding came from the township government.

"Our lungfish project department is a new department, aimed at preventing potential disasters in the coming years. The township government has initially allocated ten million Virtual Coins. As for benefits, does anyone have any complaints?" Jing Shu asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Kidding, although they were only temporarily assigned here, everyone was getting two salaries. Who in the world would be dissatisfied? Everyone was extremely satisfied.

Jing Shu nodded, "Since everyone is satisfied, I hope you’ll work hard in the tasks to come. Previously, in the competition I held about the uses of lungfish, I selected over a hundred articles that were all very well written. Now, we’re going to implement them one by one according to the content."

Many people’s expressions turned strange.

"Huh?"

"Damn, I even wrote one of those."

"I only wrote this article to get some rice."

"I just made things up, damn it—"

Who could understand? Many people just wrote whatever, not even knowing what to write, researching for a long time and coming up with some unconventional methods, all nonsense, but who would’ve thought, today the newly established department was going to implement the nonsense they wrote?

Isn’t this a joke?

How absurd is this!

Despite this, Jing Shu clearly meant it seriously, because some experiments really were this absurd. To be honest, in the previous life, all the Wu City people were quite terrified by the lungfish, and ultimately, they had to migrate back to Wu City.

In this life, Jing Shu wants to change something.

At the same time, she also believes that lungfish actually present a tremendous opportunity. In the past, even red earthworms and rotten corpse insects had their uses; could mutated lungfish have no use at all?

"Oh, by the way." Jing Shu crossed out some documents, saying, "Let’s leave these documents for last, to test the possibilities with these first. Besides researching lungfish in terms of food, our approaches and ideas can be bolder; maybe we can research in other directions too.

I even think a few articles are very well written; not only can we study the natural enemies of lungfish, but also what species lungfish may be a natural enemy to—"

Jing Shu spoke to a few leaders of the research team.

The future applications, waste utilization, etc., of lungfish were actually the research staff’s major subjects, and for this, Jun Bao especially brought in several talents from various fields.

The experts from these fields nodded, "We will divide into six groups, each studying six directions for lungfish, such as food, daily use, medicinal, genetic, and biological evolution directions."

Jing Shu didn’t understand much about the highly technical stuff, but it sounded professional enough. Anyway, professional matters should be left to professionals.

However, these researchers were obviously not from the same faction.

The expert in the food direction said, "In my opinion, if we can discover how to safely consume lungfish or a way for widespread consumption, Huaxia might never lack food again. Thus, I suggest allocating more people to our group, as this is a major category."

The genetics expert then said, "Even in food studies, we have to conduct blood and biological tests. Without knowing its components, it’s impossible to proceed. Just assign us a few more people; once we uncover the new species, we can utilize genetics to know everything about it, and safely consuming it becomes straightforward. We can even provide comprehensive data for the medicinal research direction."

The daily usage expert said, "To be honest, it’s the apocalypse now, and there are countless research investments without results. The most critical issue now is the genetic mutation of new species, representing an entirely new species structure. Whatever you research has to start from scratch, so why not support ours, figuring out how lungfish might serve some daily function?"

"Ridiculous, whether it’s food or genetics, they are broad directions, even medicinal has potential. But to be honest, the daily direction is the least useful. Look, most of the articles are about how to eat them; how many are about usage?"

"Heh, how else can lungfish be used? As fuel? Fish bones for clothing? Or as toilet paper wipes? If not for food and drink, then accommodation and travel need attention, perhaps as blankets or building material?"

"I suggest ten people are enough for daily use category."

"My food research direction needs at least 30 people."

"My genetics direction needs at least 35 people."

The daily use expert also felt less imposing; after all, they too needed genetic data for assistance, so they remained silent.

Each category of experts naturally wanted more resources, but the numbers and funding were fixed, so they all hoped to secure some benefits for themselves.

Seeing these experts starting to argue, others from different departments remained quiet.

Only the finance and procurement departments frowned because expanding personnel would mean increasing the budget—

Just then.
