Chapter 129 Experiment
Zhou Yuan did not rush for success. She spent one day to familiarize herself with the basic operating specifications, and another two days to understand all the experimental steps and precautions. During this period, she was not idle, and took care of all the chores such as cleaning instruments, weighing drugs, adjusting the firepower, and keeping experimental records. Three days later, she started to operate by herself for the first time. After a week, Rong Yuan only needed to analyze and calculate the experimental results, and the main experimental operations were all handed over to Zhou Yuan.
It turns out that Zhou Yuan is indeed a smart girl. When she is determined to do something well , her progress is amazing. Her past life may have made her go through many hardships, but it also made her have the precious qualities of perseverance and modesty.
In experiments, sometimes it might be just a matter of adding a few milligrams to a drug, sometimes the pH of a reagent had to be reduced by a tiny amount, and sometimes an insignificant mistake was made during the experiment and the whole process had to be overturned and redone. For ordinary people, even professional experimenters would be impatient with such requests, but Zhou Yuan completed all of them steadily and conscientiously, without any intention of being impatient or perfunctory. Even Rong Yuan found it difficult to do this.
At first, Zhou Yuan just memorized the experimental steps by rote. Soon she felt that when she didn't understand the principle, the experimental process was like walking with eyes blindfolded, very rigid and stiff. Sometimes Rong Yuan said something to her, and she knew every word, but she just couldn't understand. Every time this happened, Rong Yuan's eyes made her feel hopelessly stupid.
In order to communicate smoothly with Rong Yuan, Zhou Yuan read books desperately during the night. However, Rong Yuan had to rest on time every day and the lights were turned off at a fixed time. The light insulation between their bedrooms was not very good, and light could penetrate from the upper and lower partition boards. Therefore, Zhou Yuan's request to stay up late to read books was strictly prohibited, and she could only study during school hours.
At the beginning, Zhou Yuan only read chemistry books. High school chemistry textbooks were very basic and many aspects were not explained clearly, so she read more professional and profound chemistry books on Rong Yuan's bookshelf. There were more terms in these books, and some were written in Nut Language, so she read the Nut Language dictionary every day while reading the books. When she didn't understand much, she found that Rong Yuan had to do a lot of calculations every time he adjusted the experimental conditions, and the calculation papers filled with the calculation process involved molecular dynamics, atomic physics, energy, biochemistry, materials science, advanced mathematics...
Well, in short, except for Arabic numerals, everything else looks like a mystery. Rong Yuan is very good at mental arithmetic, and he has the help of Zhou Yuan's invisible optical computer, so most of the time, all he sees on the paper is formula, answer, formula, answer...
Zhou Yuan once again began to doubt his own IQ.
——When I took the intelligence test before, my IQ was 122! To be honest, is that because the machine is broken? My IQ is actually only 50, right?
Zhou Yuan silently put down the calculation paper, took out the books of all his subjects, and started to study them one by one!
…
Rong Yuan has ready-made products as standard answers to refer to, and a light computer for scanning and analysis. He does not need to experience thousands of failures to find the only correct answer. Every attempt he makes brings him one step closer to success, and naturally he can produce results faster.
In two months, he got a finished product with the same effect as the exchanged goods in the Merit Mall; in the third month, they began to make improvements, removing the ingredients originally added to increase the taste , increasing the hardness and toughness of the shell, and increasing the elastic coefficient of the internal fillings; in the fourth month, different functions were added to meet different needs. The previous work was basically led by Rong Yuan. During this stage, Zhou Yuan and Jin Yang also participated enthusiastically and put forward many unconventional ideas. Most of the ideas were ruthlessly rejected by Rong Yuan because they were too unrealistic, but some of them provided him with a lot of inspiration. Sometimes they even overturned all the previous experimental results and started to create again, which delayed the launch of the finished product by another two months.
…
"Mom, I'm leaving first! Don't wait for me for lunch, I'll eat at Xiaoyuan's place!"
After finishing his meal, Jin Yang hurriedly changed his clothes and went out, almost wearing his shoes backwards. Zheng Yirou hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Will you come back tonight?"
“It depends!”
Seeing her son rushing out of the house, Zheng Yirou returned to the restaurant worriedly and said, "What's wrong with Yangyang recently? He's already a senior in high school, but he's still so irritable. The other kids have signed up for cram schools, but he runs to the warehouse whenever he has time. Are you still going to take care of the college entrance examination?"
"Don't worry, our son knows what to do." Jin Bai said calmly while sitting on a chair, holding a pancake in his hand and rolling vegetables into it.
"I'm just anxious, aren't I?" Zheng Yirou was much more open-minded than most parents, but she couldn't help getting anxious at this moment. When her son was not around, she started complaining to her husband, "Last time, Yangyang's grades were fifth in the school, but he only scored 115 in math. Do you think we should hire a tutor? And his Nut Language listening comprehension, I heard from his teacher that Yangyang lost a lot of points in this area. What do you think..."
Jin Bai rolled his eyes inconspicuously, knowing that his wife couldn't stop talking at this time, so he could only wait until she had nothing to say. He must not say anything, even if it was just a "hmm", there would be a risk of extending the nagging time by another half an hour. If he said nothing, he would be accused of being indifferent to his son. It was really wrong to do it, and it was also wrong not to do it, so he just had to endure it.
…
Jin Yang drove all the way to the warehouse in the suburbs, his mind full of what he had to do today. As soon as he got there, he saw Rong Yuan and Zhou Yuan waiting outside the door ready, and his eyes lit up. They loaded a bunch of things into the trunk of the car, fixed the things that couldn't be turned on the roof, and then drove the car further away from the city.
There are several 30-40-story buildings along the coast of City A. They were supposed to be the largest comprehensive shopping center in City A, but the developer ran away, leaving only these unfinished buildings standing alone. Even though the developer has been arrested and sentenced, there has been no follow-up development in this place. The cement on the exterior walls of several high-rise buildings has cracks, and some places still have remnants of former steel bars and scaffolding, making them look particularly dilapidated and gloomy. The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and piles of rubble and other garbage, making it even more desolate. In the summer, there are occasional homeless people here, but now it is winter, and City A is freezing this year, so no one comes to this ghost place.
Jin Yang's car jolted and bumped to the bottom of the tallest unfinished building. Several people moved and carried things from the car to the roof and got ready. When it was time to officially start, even though Rong Yuan had been calm, he couldn't help but show some excitement on his face.
"Meh~~~"
A sheep with curly fine hair cried out. It was brought up by Zhou Yuan with a rope. It took a lot of effort to get up the stairs. Standing at the edge of the 115-meter-high building, it looked at the distant ground below, took two steps back uneasily, and then docilely leaned against Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan felt a little reluctant and said, "How about...we try it on a dummy first?"
——In fact, they had already tried it on a mannequin before, but Zhou Yuan suddenly felt uneasy at this moment.
Rong Yuan shut her up with one sentence: "Don't you have confidence in me?"
"Of course there is! There must be!" Zhou Yuan nodded immediately and abandoned the little lamb beside him without hesitation.
Rong Yuan squatted down and touched the sheep's head. The sheep did not dodge, but rubbed his palm and called out again: "Mee~~"
——Poor thing, it has no idea what cruel and merciless things these people are about to do to it!
Rong Yuan took out a box and opened it. This box was a little bigger than an ordinary suitcase. It was filled with various instruments and data cables. At the edge was a row of round objects with different words on them, the size of watch covers, and the thickness of a finger. Rong Yuan took out one of the round blocks with the words "a-1" protruding on the surface. There was also a metal buckle behind the round block. He pinned it on the sheep's neck. Then he took out a dozen small patches connected by thin wires and attached them to the sheep's head, back, legs, etc. in turn. Zhou Yuan connected the wires on the patches to a black box device, took out a computer from the box, opened a software on the desktop, and several pop-up display boxes showed jumping waveforms.
Jin Yang took out two sets of camera equipment from another box. One set was also fixed on the sheep, and the other high-definition camera was supported by a tripod and installed on the side of the building. After installation, he looked at the lens and adjusted the focus.
After all the preparations were done, they looked at each other and nodded. The ignorant sheep became very interested in the cement floor. He lowered his head and kept sniffing. Suddenly, Rong Yuan picked him up, walked to the side of the building, and threw him down!
“Mee——”
The sheep screamed in fear, and Jin Yang quickly aimed his camera at the place where it fell. Rong Yuan took the laptop from Zhou Yuan, and they both stood at the edge of the building, staring at its falling figure.
One second! Two seconds! Three seconds! The sheep fell faster and faster. Zhou Yuan couldn't help but hold Jin Yang's arm tightly. Rong Yuan held the computer in his left hand and saw that the height from the ground had almost reached the limit. He tapped on the keyboard with his right hand.
With a "bang", in less than 0.1 second, the sheep's body was replaced by a large milky white ball that suddenly appeared. The falling speed suddenly slowed down, and from the top of the building it looked as if the white ball suddenly rose up for a distance.
"Ah!" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but let out a short exclamation.
Rong Yuan glanced at the computer screen. The waveform on it was jumping, smoother than before.
The white ball fell to the ground, and the bottom of the sphere dropped a distance due to the impact force, then bounced up more than two meters and fell to the ground again. After bouncing several times, the white ball rolled to the wall and stopped.
Rong Yuan immediately took another look at the ripples on the screen, and seeing that there was no significant change, he let out a long sigh. Jin Yang saved the video he had just recorded, took down the camera, and the others quickly ran downstairs.
A weak cry came from the white ball: "Mee~~~~~"
