"Venus? It sounds familiar. It sounds like a name from the Blue Star era..."

A student murmured.

"Yes, in ancient Roman mythology, it is said that this is the goddess of Venus, who is in charge of the harvest including the orchard, and the meaning is very appropriate." Xia Yi explained with a straight face.

However, someone has already searched quickly, and heard his explanation "emmm": "Is it because of this? I found out that Venus in ancient Roman mythology...is the lover of Mars, the god of war."

Immediately, everyone looked at Xia Yi with an expression of "I understand".

The young agronomist gave a dry cough and waved his hand: "Of course, this is also part of the reason."

Those students booed together very cooperatively.

If the experiment is successful, the results will naturally be made public.Xia Yi decided to schedule the press conference three days later.By the way, this is also the time when Tan Jiuzhang returned to the central star.

After setting the time, Xia Yi announced on his personal account that there would be major research results announced, and the official account of the Imperial Honors College immediately forwarded it.

Tan Jiuzhang's victory caused Xingwang to fall into a certain carnival posture, and as a princess, Xia Yi's movements inevitably attracted the attention of many people.

As soon as they saw the new message from the princess, those who noticed it immediately went to see, wondering if he had any comments on this great event, or if he had any thoughts on his good friend Tao Anming and the prince he had been rumored to be. There is nothing to say—yes, the powerful netizens finally locked on the target of the crown prince—Major Tao Anming whose registration information is beta.

The intersection between Tao Anming and the crown prince Shen Kaifeng was also found out by following the clues.

Netizens were surprised to find that these two people have been in close contact for several years - when Xia Yi was still considered the "first candidate for the crown princess", these two people met frequently.Of course, Xia Yi is often brought along.

After the timeline was clarified, people lamented that they had been blinded.

Some people also pointed out: It is very possible that Shen Kaifeng and Tao Anming were already mixed up when the media hyped that Xia Yi was highly compatible with the three top alphas.It's just that because Tao Anming is a beta and is Xia Yi's friend, he actually disappeared from the microscope-like eyes of the media.

In the past few days, the star network is completely full of melon fields, and new melons can be found everywhere, making the melon eaters overwhelmed and unable to eat.

On the one hand, Shen Congzhang's military exploits, and on the other hand, Shen Kaifeng's scandal—or scandal, no matter which one, Xia Yi is an important person.No wonder a group of netizens are paying close attention to his account, waiting for him to speak out.

Alright, now that Xia Yi sent a message, everyone rushed to take a look——

New research results?What is this?

The mood of people watching the gossip was a little lost for a while, and they read the statements of Xia Yi and the Imperial Honor College in a daze, and then left a question in bewilderment:

[It means that Xia Yi led the team to cultivate a kind of wheat that can grow under harsh conditions? 】

[What is this.Anyone else engaged in this kind of fraudulent project?Many years ago, there were agronomists and botanists who were studying this, and it turned out that the value of the food grown after spending a long time was less than half of that of the greenhouse.This is to fool people. I don't know how the Imperial Honors College approved this project.Wouldn't it be because of looking at the face of the royal family? 】

[Don't be too hard on the front.Xia Yi is a very evil person, if you laugh at him, you always end up with your own face swollen.After going through the 'prince's rage for the crown' and the 'changing to cheat', I am already in awe of him, and I have learned not to force him without a real hammer.Now that the press conference is about to be held, and the Imperial Honors High School has also reposted it, it should be true. 】

【hehe.At first glance, this means that they don't understand the development of the empire's agriculture.Anyone with a little knowledge knows that the low-cost sour soil wheat breeding experiment more than [-] years ago was led by a team of academicians. After five years of trying, it finally failed.Even if Xia Yi is a genius, how many years has he studied agriculture?More than three years but less than four years, you tell me that he has accomplished what the academician team failed to do?It is estimated that it is another kind of gimmick, spending tens of millions or hundreds of millions on an acre of land, and finally planting a few kilograms of grain, it will show the results, but in fact it is useless.Is it true that someone will spend tens of billions of dollars to build greenhouses, improve soil quality, and then grow crops on those extremely cold planets where birds don’t shit?Who can afford it! 】

[Let's line up.And the announcement time of this result is really disgusting, look at the date of the press conference!Isn't this the day of the prince's triumph?I think he is relying on having a good husband to gain fame and fortune by taking advantage of His Royal Highness' popularity!The essence of fishing for men remains the same.First hype the high degree of matching, then marry into the royal family, wash away his bad image in the past, and then set up some god-like character design, and now, taking advantage of His Royal Highness's big victory, he popped up to promote his achievements... Really disgusting! 】

[+1.I have time to hold a press conference here, but I don’t have time to boast about saving my friend from the M36 asteroid.Xia Yi is really not worthy of His Royal Highness Shen Congzhang!Divorce early and set His Highness free! 】

……

Following Xia Yi's press conference announcement, there was a lot of hype soon, mainly criticizing him.

Recently, the experiment came to an end, and Xia Yi was very busy and didn't have much time to speak on Starnet, so he just reposted the video of Tan Jiuzhang battle released by the crisis management team and added a few heart-shaped and flower patterns to express his love and congratulations.

——This is considered perfunctory by many netizens.

It stands to reason that Xia Yi's public image has improved a lot after the turmoil of transferring to another department before, and few people would come out and say that he is not worthy of His Royal Highness.

But this time, the results of Tan Jiuzhang's battle were astonishing. It can be said that the Jedi fought back, saving the people who were trapped in grief and anxiety with a lightning victory.

Once the heat and attention rises, it will be difficult to focus on the discussion, and it will be easy for moths to emerge.

Shen Congzhang's illustrious military achievements made him have a huge fan base, but he gradually disappeared after the injury eight years ago.And this time, the former prince fans gathered again and attracted a lot of new fans. On the one hand, they publicized Shen Congzhang's achievements, and on the other hand—like idols' "girlfriend fans" and "boyfriend fans", I always feel that the whole world is not good enough for my brother.

"Prince and concubine's perfunctory attitude towards the prince's victory", "Prince and concubine is not worthy of such a good prince"—this kind of incomprehensible imagination has appeared again.

Many comments and messages under Xia Yi's account are accusing him of not paying enough attention to Tan Jiuzhang. Xia Yi finds it funny: a normal loving couple, unless they are very expressive, who wants to be free and have nothing to do every day on the public platform Show affection?

Can these spectators drill into the communication channel of the couple to understand how they communicate?

Xia Yi didn't reply to this kind of mentally handicapped remarks.

However, this can't stop some people from saying that the prince and his wife have a bad relationship, and analyzing their dynamics from the words and phrases of their accounts like a magnifying glass.

Three days later, it was time for Tan Jiuzhang and some of the 77rd Brigade of the 3th Division who returned to the Central Star for treatment and some of the Central Star Assistance Team to return to the Central Star.

The special starship for the return journey landed at the military port, so those media who couldn't wait to get the first-hand information could only lament and couldn't get close.

Only three officially authorized media outlets were able to take close-up shots and interviews.

Because he was afraid that the soldiers involved in this incident would be traumatized, Tan Jiuzhang arranged for them to evacuate from the dedicated passage early.And he himself, as well as several members of the crisis management team, walked through the channel where the reporters were waiting.

As soon as he walked out of the passage, Tan Jiuzhang saw the emperor's face with a gratifying smile - but he didn't know if he was full of resentment.

But even if he didn't deal with his younger brother, the emperor had no choice but to smile and walk up to meet Tan Jiuzhang while being filmed by various video recording equipment.

The two embraced and shook hands in front of the camera - for up to ten seconds, allowing for multiple angles to be photographed.

The emperor made a very official speech, thanking Tan Jiuzhang and other members of the crisis management team for their hard work, thanking all the officers and soldiers of the 77th Division for their unity in overcoming difficulties, etc., and then asked Tan Jiuzhang to say a few words.

Tan Jiuzhang didn't offend him in public, and his speech was very upright, and he didn't mention a single word about the crap about the prince and Tao Anming.

The emperor's smile finally showed some sincerity.

After the two brothers had finished their show, Xia Yi could finally walk up to Tan Jiuzhang and give him a hug.The man put his arms around his waist with a smile and kissed his forehead.Because they are in front of the camera, they are very restrained, just make eye contact and smile at each other.

It wasn't until after the reporters left that Xia Yi and the others had time to really talk.And the emperor no longer bothered to do superficial work, asked Shen Kaifeng's location, and went directly to find someone.

Tan Jiuzhang and Xia Yi returned to the palace, not the place where they lived alone - because there was Xia Yi's press conference in the afternoon, and a grand triumphal dinner to celebrate the victory was held in the palace in the evening.

Tan Jiuzhang first took a comfortable bath to wash away his fatigue, and then leaned against the head of the bed wearing a bathrobe.

Sitting next to him, Xia Yi reached out and handed over a box that was as long as his forearm, and it was not heavy when he weighed it.

"Huh?" Tan Jiuzhang asked with puzzled eyes.

"A celebration gift for you." Xia Yi smiled and lay beside him, resting her head on the man's chest.

Tan Jiuzhang didn't open it directly, rubbed the side of the box with his slender and strong fingers, and looked down at the little bastard with a happy face on his chest:

"Venus?"

He naturally saw Xia Yi's announcement, and Xia Yi also told him the good news directly when he was on his return trip.

He had reason to guess that the box should be wheat seeds.

However, the other party nodded and shook his head again—this action made the hair scratch across Tan Jiuzhang's neck, making it itchy.

Tan Jiuzhang was surprised by this reaction: "Is it true or not?"

"Can't you just open it and see?"

Tan Jiuzhang opened the box graciously.Inside is a "wheat painting" - a portrait of Tan Jiuzhang made of wheat grains of different shades, encapsulated in crystal.The older, brownish wheat grains form the hair and eyes, and the folds of the collar; the lighter-colored ones outline the outline of the nose, lips, and neck, and the skin on the face is left blank.

Under natural indoor light, this Mai painting, which can be called a work of art, glows softly.

The man's eyes widened slightly, and then he let out a breath slowly: "It's very delicate——did you draw it?"

"Hmm." He nodded slowly and reservedly like a young cat on his chest, and then raised his neck, looking like he was waiting for praise, "From picking wheat grains to drawing drafts to placing and pasting them and finally encapsulating them in crystals." Among them, I made them all myself. ——Do you like it?"

Tan Jiuzhang stared at him with a gentle smile in his eyes.

He grabbed the other's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, his voice was a little subconsciously low: "I like it very much, my little bastard."

The last word was kissed into the boy's lips by him.

This is a long and lingering kiss, which melts the longing and love that the two of them can only meet on the holographic channel these days, but cannot actually touch.

However, kissing and kissing gradually changed the taste.

Alpha's movements became almost aggression, from the mere entanglement of lips and tongue to the suppression of the body, and Xia Yi, who is an omega, gradually felt that the air in his lungs was tight, so he had to push the opponent's chest.

Tan Jiuzhang had no choice but to let him go, but he lowered his head and pecked his lips again, his voice had completely sank: "... Diana, time?"

"It's 1:56 p.m. Central Time."

A mechanized female voice broadcasts the report.

Tan Jiuzhang let out a long breath, looking at his lover with a sense of aggression—and helpless regret: "Time is running out, we have to prepare, your press conference is at three o'clock."

Xia Yi nodded, but glanced at his lower body meaningfully, and deliberately rubbed his knee against him.

Tan Jiuzhang: "!"

He quickly turned sideways and took a deep breath, gnashing his teeth: "...Little bastard. You wait for me at night."

Xia Yi laughed loudly, turned over and got out of bed, and slipped away quickly.

The number of media that came to the press conference was beyond imagination, almost leaving the already spacious hall with no place to step down.

Of course, most of these people didn't come here for the scientific research results that Xia Yi was about to announce - mainstream arguments speculated that even if he had some results, they were piled up with money and could not be promoted at all.It was Tan Jiuzhang who made these media reporters flock here.

Whether it is a port reception or a banquet at night, the media will not be allowed to ask questions.Especially when we were greeted at the port before, only three official media were able to film them, and the news reports only introduced the achievements of Tan Jiuzhang and others, and greatly celebrated the unfavorable victory under the wise leadership of the emperor—yes, the emperor was very self-conscious. Jindi stated that it was his idea to "recover the unfortunate situation with a brilliant victory".

But this very official celebration and sympathy is definitely not what the media and the public want to know.They want to follow up on the results of the investigation to understand how the misfortune of M36 happened and who should be responsible for it?Does Tan Jiuzhang's victory mean that M36 will not be in danger in the future?And what happened to the Crown Prince?Had he and Tao Anming been in love for many years?And why was Tao Anming able to hide from the sky and join the army?Is he a spy? ...

Since a series of questions cannot be obtained at the port or at the dinner party, they can only be answered during the reporter's question time after the press conference.

Although Xia Yi is not from the M36 crisis management team, he is the princess, and according to gossip, the prince will attend the press conference.Then maybe, they can take the opportunity to ask some inside information from the prince?

Even if he couldn't ask what he wanted to know the most, some bold media outlets were ready to question Xia Yi. Did he choose to hold the press conference on this day to catch the popularity of Tan Jiuzhang?Why did he just send a message to congratulate the prince on his victory?Is there any problem with the relationship between him and the prince?

A group of media eagerly waited for the question time after the press conference, not interested in what research results Xia Yi said.

Unexpectedly, when the press conference was actually going on, listening to Xia Yi on the stage clearly introducing the information about this new type of wheat named "Venus", they turned from indifference at the beginning to engrossed in it. it's -

"...The yield per hectare is about 6000kg. The experimental field harvested 6307.21kg under careful care. According to the system modeling prediction, the yield per hectare of this wheat species should be maintained at around 6000kg, within plus or minus 500kg."

"...The greenhouse used in the experiment is made of the most popular thermal insulation material on the market. Only one thermostat is added. Although there is a certain increase in cost, it is equivalent to per square meter. The total cost of the greenhouse is about 20 stars... "

"...The pH value of the acidic soil used in the experiment is 4.5. According to statistics, this value is close to or lower than 46% of the land on 80% of the planets in the entire empire, which means that the application prospects of this wheat species are extremely broad..."

The young prince and concubine stood in front and gave an introduction at a leisurely pace, and the large floating screen behind him also slowly replaced charts, experimental data, experimental equipment and other detailed introductions.

Perhaps the media in the entertainment direction were dizzy, but the more serious media, no matter what their intentions were—some were announcing themselves for this scientific research achievement, and some were trying to take the opportunity to interview Tan Jiuzhang—in short, they all overtook him. Listen to brighter eyes:

If what the princess said is true, then this is not a hype, nor is it a pure academic innovation that cannot be promoted, but a great initiative that can truly bring new development opportunities to the empire and solve the fatal food bottleneck!

Xia Yi didn't know the minds of the audience were floating. He just introduced the process and results of the whole "Venus" wheat seed experiment according to the content he had prepared, and finally looked forward to the future.He said that in the future, he will continue to study the growth of other crops under extreme conditions, and further work hard to enrich the "vegetable basket" of the imperial people.

After his introduction, the principal of the Empire's No. [-] honorary university also talked about the significance of this experiment and the prospect of promoting this wheat variety.He spoke very truthfully. Now, the journalists below with irrelevant majors also gradually realized the value of this research result.

The questioning session came soon, and the audience quickly raised their arms.

The host first clicked on a few big media. These media have been cooperating with the government for a long time, and they can also get first-hand opportunities to ask questions, so they reciprocate. What difficulties have been experienced in the process, when will this kind of wheat be available on the market and so on.Xia Yi also answered them one by one.

None of these issues can scratch the itch, and several media outlets with bolder and more lively styles are desperately jumping up and down to be pointed out.

It was impossible for the host to pretend to be blind and ignore them, so he ordered one.

The reporter couldn't wait to stand up: "Hello, Your Royal Highness, I have two questions to ask. The first one is that the new type of wheat you cultivated is named 'Venus'. I checked the name , is a god in a certain cultural legend of the Blue Star Era, may I ask if there is any special meaning for you to choose this name for your research results?"

There was a low laugh from below—everyone quickly searched when they heard the name "Venus", and they already knew the origin behind the name.This reporter asked the question knowingly.

"...The second question is, what do you think about the opinion of some netizens on Xingwang.com that you chose to hold the press conference today, the day of the Prince's triumphant return, to gain popularity with the Prince and increase your personal popularity?"

Xia Yi smiled.

"The first question, the name of 'Venus', one symbolizes a good harvest, and the other, everyone knows that this ancient Roman goddess is said to be the lover of Mars, the god of war. So why did I choose this name? , I think you should be able to guess."

The audience below laughed in unison.

Xia Yi turned his eyes to the audience, and exchanged a smiling look with Tan Jiuzhang who was sitting in the first row:

"Personally, this name symbolizes my blessing for the harvest of the empire on the one hand, and on the other hand. It is also a gift to celebrate the victory of my lover. - This actually answers the second question you asked. Why should I What about holding a press conference today? Because of selfishness, this is a gift from me to my partner, to celebrate the return of 'Mars' with 'Venus'. To put it more bluntly, to congratulate you with a good harvest Glory, may the heroes in front of the battle always have the peace of the family and the country behind them, and the joy of a good harvest.”

In an instant, the audience burst into applause.

The young researcher seemed a little shy, his eyelashes drooped slightly, but a soft smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

——And this smile has also become the cover photo of countless media after the meeting, with the title: "Congratulations on your glory with a good harvest".
