"Gene locks are not 100% safe. The deep-sea environment is complex and changeable, and it is impossible for us to monitor it in all directions. There will always be mistakes, and one mistake will cause irreparable ecological disaster."

Ma Xu patiently explained.

"Really? So mysterious?"

"There is no solution for this. Now we are not solving the problem of good or bad, but the problem of whether or not. The most important thing is to get over the current difficulties first."

"Hey, I remember it was said in the textbook that there have been many mass extinctions of organisms in Blue Star before. Didn't they all recover on their own later? Is it necessary to be so anxious?"

Dabao was full of confusion.

"Cousin, you are right to think so. Nature has a strong ability to evolve itself, but you have ignored one of the most critical factors."

"What factors?"

"Time." Ma Xu shrugged, "This time lasts for millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years. We humans only have so much history in total. I really can't afford to wait!"

Dabao patted his head. He had forgotten this. After all, he still didn't have a good foundation in science.

"Cousin, your work reminds me of a saying that I think is particularly suitable for you researchers."

Ma Xu quickly asked: "Which sentence?"

"There are no peaceful years in this world. It's just that there are people carrying the burden forward for you."

"Thank you. In fact, there are many people like us in real life, such as Xiaobao, the project he participated in is the real project of the century; and my uncle, without his full support, there would be no Tamamo series. Brilliance.”

Ma Xu said modestly again and again.

Dabao couldn't help but joked: "Why aren't Erbao and I involved? It seems like our career choices were a failure."

"Screw you, let's not talk about the second cousin for now. Being a policeman is his ideal. There is a saying that a thousand dollars can't buy. I am happy.

However, I am still very greedy for your current position. How about we switch? "

"Well, I don't have this diamond if I want to go to the laboratory. It would be embarrassing to go there."

"Then you still say?"

"Haha, okay, let's go up quickly. It's getting late. Niuniu must be waiting impatiently."

"Tsk tsk, he is indeed a caring and warm man."

Ma Xu replied casually.

He did not inquire about the reason why his cousin ended his internship early. We are all adults and it is necessary to maintain some personal privacy.

…

Three hours later, the three boarded the passenger ship heading north and expected to arrive at Sydney Port before 3 pm the next day. The entire journey took about forty hours.

Compared with the relaxation and comfort when they arrived, the worries and uneasiness of the passengers could be clearly felt on the way back. In just over a month, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Affected by this, the three of them no longer wanted to enjoy the night view, and basically stayed in the room and did not go out much.

The next afternoon, the passenger ship docked on time.

After returning to her large manor, Xu's mother naturally took her eldest grandson to have a chat with him.

"I've lost weight. I've lost a lot of weight. It's true that your parents stopped me from sending you food. I've never seen such cruel parents."

"Mom, Dabao is here to exercise, not to enjoy happiness. If he can't even endure this little hardship, what achievements can we expect from him in the future?"

Xu Dong explained helplessly.

Father Xu stood by his younger son this time: "The third child is right. As the old saying goes, only by enduring hardship can one become a master. There is also the great responsibility given by heaven. The wisdom of our ancestors is It can’t be wrong.”

"You just know how to accept death. Your body is yours. If I starve you two will be responsible?"

Xu Ma couldn't help but snarled.

Dabao patted his belly: "Nai, I'm in good health. I can eat a whole baguette every meal. What's lost is the fat, and what's left is the essence."

"That's nonsense." Lele joked on the spot, "If you can lose weight, it means you have overworked. Look at Niuniu, she hasn't lost much weight. What do you mean by that sentence? She's just an exhausted cow..."

Niu Niu's face instantly turned red and she quickly hid behind her boyfriend. Since her "sister-in-law" got married, she now really dares to say anything nasty.

"Shut up." Yang Lina quickly interrupted, "Xiaohuzi and the others are here, don't teach the children bad things."

Xiao Huzi was confused, and silently recorded this sentence in his mind, preparing to go to the "Yuan World" to ask for help from the "Encyclopedia" tomorrow.

Lele immediately stuck out her tongue.

Yang Lina originally wanted to educate her a little more, but Tan Miaomiao suddenly came over. She was transferred from the capital just two months ago.

First of all, the Tan family misses their daughter, and it is very uncomfortable not being able to see her once in two or three years;

Secondly, as the stall grew bigger and bigger, Xu Dong felt that his energy was somewhat insufficient. In order to handle the work better, he really needed to have a life secretary.

In the end, Yang Lina chose after many choices, but she still felt that her relatives were the most reliable, at least eliminating the possibility of the vixen taking over.

One more thing to mention here is that Tan Miaomiao just got married two years ago, and she is considered a relatively late married woman among her peers. The couple currently has a son.

Her husband is the department manager of a bakery.

This time I was transferred together and now I work in a bakery in Sydney.

"Director Xu, turn on the TV quickly, there is big news."

Lele reacted the fastest, ran to the sofa in a few steps, grabbed the remote control first, and then pressed the power button triumphantly.

Ji Yin on the side was almost frightened out of his wits.

Yang Lina also looked scared: "Little ancestor, how many times have I told you to slow down, what if you fall?"

Even Xu Ma couldn't help but pat her granddaughter twice. Lele has been noisy since she was young. After getting married, she not only did not restrain herself, but became even worse.

But everyone's attention was soon attracted by the news on TV. To be precise, this was an international news outside of Asia.

After nearly a year of negotiations, the United States and the South American Local Armed Forces Alliance finally signed the final armistice agreement.

The two sides will jointly form a new federal state.

The full name is the United States of America.

With the signing of this treaty, it marks that the entire America has become a whole, at least on the surface, which is a new chapter in the history of America.

Dabao said in surprise: "What's this? If you can't beat them, just join them?"

"Thank God." Mother Xu put her hands together and prayed to God, "It's best not to fight. I've been worried every day. Now I can finally have a few days of peace."

Mother Pan immediately followed up and said: "Yes, the short video is full of topics about the United States dropping nuclear bombs all day long. It looks scary. If you can avoid fighting, it's better not to fight."

"Grandma, don't be afraid, Xiaohu will protect you." Xiaohu took the opportunity to interrupt.

Mother Pan was overjoyed: "Our little tiger is still sensible. Xiaohu must work hard to eat and can't be picky about food, so that he can grow up early to protect grandma."

"Yes! I will eat well."

"And what about grandpa? Grandpa is also afraid of nuclear bombs."

Xu Bin couldn't help but say jealously.

Xiaohu's surname is Xu, and the first person he thought of was his grandfather. His "tens of billions" family business is still waiting for the little guy to inherit!

He had discussed it with his in-laws long ago.

Although Xiao Huzi is not stupid, he is definitely not smart. Instead of living in the system, he might as well jump out.

He can take over his business. After all, it is a sure win.

What if a world war really breaks out one day.

It can also leave a single child for the family.

No one cares about Xu Bin's little episode. Xu Dong and others have been chatting happily.

A man has a political heart.

"This is definitely a good thing. In this world, only unity can survive. If we continue to fight internally, human beings really deserve to die."

Xu Dong couldn't help but say something harsh.

But Xu's father seemed indignant: "It's a bargain for the United States. In the end, they got what they wanted. They got such a large piece of land for nothing. When they recover, they might cause trouble for us again."

Our side has been competing with the other side of the ocean for decades, and many grievances and entanglements have accumulated. It is not easy to resolve them. Many people are waiting to see the joke on the other side.

Some even think that not taking advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury is already the most righteous thing to do.

Yang Shuo smiled and advised: "Grandpa, calm down, we have to leave them a way out, right? You know they have a powerful weapon in their hands, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, and forgive them when you can."

"That's the truth. Even rabbits will bite when they are anxious. On the contrary, I think that this is the most ideal result for the current situation."

Lele couldn't help but interrupt: "The United States is now a sick tiger. Our land area is 5 times that of theirs, and our population is more than 20 times that of theirs. Moreover, we have basically all kinds of industries. What can they use to compete with us?"

"Second sister, what you said is true. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the United States for its bad luck. The volcano under its butt jumped up to the sky."

Dabao rarely expressed his agreement.

"Well, young people should not be arrogant. The United States can be the overlord for hundreds of years. The foundation should not be underestimated. They may turn over at any time."

Xu Dong took the opportunity to educate.

As someone who has experienced that era, no one can ignore the comprehensive national strength of the United States. In terms of military strength alone, the other party can almost challenge the whole world on its own. This is evident.

"Dad, you are talking nonsense."

"Dad will teach you a sentence, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, never underestimate anyone, especially your competitors."

Xu Dong said earnestly.

Lele was still a little unconvinced.

Dabao was thoughtful, and his father's words were obviously meant for him.

Dad Xu looked at his grandson-in-law: "Ji Yin, you teach history, come and help us analyze the pros and cons of this matter."

"Well, I'm afraid I can't say it well."

"Just say it if I ask you to, don't be nagging."

Xu Dong urged directly.

Even though such a long time has passed, he is still "full of resentment" towards this son-in-law. To exaggerate, this matter will not be resolved for three to five years.

"Okay, let me say a few words."

Ji Yin organized his words and began to analyze: "Let me first talk about the good side. Of course, the outbreak of nuclear war has been avoided. This is a blessing for all mankind, and it also shows that the other side has at least not lost its mind."

"Secondly, the stability of the Americas is conducive to the reconstruction of new international trade, which is particularly important to us. There are many mineral resources in the Americas. If they can be fully developed, they can relieve a lot of pressure on our side."

"Isn't that aiding the enemy? Our country is so large, do we still lack those mineral resources?"

Dad Xu interrupted subconsciously.

"Grandpa, you can't say that. There are many mineral resources in the world, but many of them are in inland areas with inconvenient transportation. The current mining cost is very high. In fact, no matter how much ore there is, it is not enough."

Xu Dong immediately agreed: "Dad, Ji Yin is right. As far as I know, there is a big shortage of copper mines in China. The branch base in Africa has been unable to deliver production equipment due to the lack of copper."

"Don't Chile have large copper mines?"

Dabao responded immediately.

Ji Yin nodded: "If the copper mines in Chile can be resumed, it will definitely greatly alleviate the domestic copper shortage problem. This is the charm of international trade."

"Okay, there is nothing much to say about the benefits, let's talk about the disadvantages!" Xu's father said impatiently.

The old man could never get over the hurdle in his heart.

It was really because he was bullied too hard back then.

"Well, there are two main disadvantages."

"On the one hand, as Dad said, the other party may become bigger again. Although it is impossible for them to compete with us for world dominance, it will undoubtedly distract us a lot of energy.

If they are greedy, they may try to merge with Europe and other countries in the next step. At that time, a superpower across the Atlantic Ocean will emerge. This is worth our attention."

"That's a decent thing to say. We can't let down our guard against the descendants of these robbers."

Dad Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Dong immediately asked: "If they succeed in merging, won't the world fall into a confrontation between the East and the West again? Similar to the Cold War?"

"Very likely." Ji Yin nodded.

"Go on."

Xu Dong waved his hand.

"On the other hand, the establishment of America may weaken our voice in the international arena, and the most direct impact is the right to allocate resources.

Even if the three parties do not merge, as long as they successfully mediate the conflict between Europe and Jusri, the world's energy structure will undergo a huge change. It will not be so easy for us to obtain cheap oil and gas resources again."

"Can they get to this point?"

Xu Dong frowned.

"It depends on which side is more skilled, but America itself has many problems. They are called federalism, but in fact they are a simple alliance of interests.

This alliance is not solid, and it is incomparable to ours. It is easy to be defeated one by one.

I personally prefer that they will stop in the American continent. After all, such a large area is enough for them to digest for a hundred years, and they need time to restore their population."

"I think so too. Europe and the United States combined have less than one-tenth of our population. It is useless to have such a large area. It is better to live a peaceful life."

Xu Dong smiled slightly.

The world has come to this point. If humans are still caught in endless "internal friction", the Creator of the World will probably shake his head.
