Chapter 258 Experimental Progress, Return to School

Zhang Wanwan, who was working seriously, was startled and almost dropped the pen in her hand. She turned around and saw that it was Chen Lao and Jian Rongkun. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said, "There are 62 water tanks in total. Now the brown algae in half of the water tanks have died, and the brown algae in the remaining 29 water tanks are still alive.

And I found a very interesting phenomenon, the growth of the brown algae plants in water tanks 11 and 25 is obviously much faster than that in the other water tanks, at least ten times faster, you see. "

Zhang Wanwan took them to see the two water tanks and said with a smile, "The brown algae plants I selected were of the same size and grown in the same environment. The two plants grew in a similar way, so I can draw a preliminary conclusion that the function of these two gene fragments is to promote plant growth. I have made a record."

When Elder Chen heard this, he said solemnly to Jian Rongkun, "Go back and check with Wanwan to see if you have done any experiments on her two gene fragments."

"Yes!" Jian Rongkun put away his ruffian look and answered loudly.

Zhang Wanwan continued: "And it's not just this."

"Anything else you've discovered?" Old Chen's eyes seemed to be shining, and he asked impatiently.

"Look!" Zhang Wanwan walked to Water Tank No. 32 like a magician and poked the brown algae in the tank with the butt of a fountain pen. The brown algae immediately dodged away, similar to the way mimosa closes itself when touched by external objects.

Chen Lao and Jian Rongkun's eyes widened instantly, and they asked excitedly, "Is this the feature that can move?"

Zhang Wanwan nodded. "That's the case at the moment, but I don't know if these plants will die again as they grow. After all, the previous ones died halfway through their growth."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wanwan felt a little discouraged. She had been researching day and night for half a month to make these things, but in the end, less than 50% survived. It was quite discouraging to think about it.

Elder Chen was overjoyed and praised: "Great! You have just started the experiment and you have made such a great discovery. It provides new ideas for the project. Not bad, not bad. I was right!"

After expressing his feelings, Elder Chen instructed Jian Rongkun, "Ask Zhang Rui and the others to come over and take a look. Also, you should copy Wan Wan's experimental records and study them carefully when you return. It seems that we cannot continue on this path with seabuckthorn. If possible, we should select some more suitable receptors and strive to make a qualitative leap in this research this year."

"Students understand!" Jian Rongkun said and immediately went to do it.

Boss Chen said to Zhang Wanwan with relief: "I know you are very concerned about this experiment, but girl, have you forgotten something?"

Zhang Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "What day is it today?"

"September 7th." Old Chen winked mischievously and successfully saw that Zhang Wanwan was panicking.

"What should I do? What should I do? I didn't report to school and I didn't ask for leave? I'm doomed!" Zhang Wanwan really wanted to cry but had no tears.

Elder Chen laughed at her expression. "Don't worry, I've already told your principal and the department. No one will say anything to you. But you still have to go back to school. Your senior year is mostly practical classes. If you want to come, I welcome you anytime."

"Then what should I do with these things?" Zhang Wanwan looked at the water tanks with pain. Those were her hard work!

Old Chen pondered and suggested, "How about you find someone you trust to help you look after it?"

In fact, Zhang Wanwan didn't have to worry about these things at all. Mr. Chen would arrange someone to record them every day. He only asked this to appease her depressed mood.

Finally, Zhang Wanwan handed her experiment over to Mr. Chen and asked him to help her arrange it.

That day she took off her camouflage uniform and changed into her own clothes, then reluctantly went to the parking lot. When she saw her dusty SUV she really wanted to swear. Fortunately someone helped her wash it briefly, so she could finally show it to others.

After leaving the mountains, her cell phone had a signal. While waiting at the traffic light, she turned on her phone and saw a bunch of missed calls and messages. The corners of her mouth twitched, she took a deep breath, and continued driving.

It was evening when they returned to school. Yu Yunfei and the others had already finished class, but there was no one in the dormitory. Zhang Wanwan called Yu Yunfei.

The moment the call was connected, she was yelled at, "You little bitch! Where have you been? Did you know that your brother got so anxious that he had blisters on his mouth?"

Zhang Wanwan quickly put the phone away and waited until Yu Yunfei finished scolding before she said weakly, "Um. When are you going to return to the dormitory? Can you pack me a chicken chop rice? Also pack me a clay pot mushroom and pork ribs soup, and a pancake. I'm going to take a shower first."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Yu Yunfei said unhappily: "Are you a pig? You eat so much!"

Despite saying that, Yu Yunfei still obediently bought things for Zhang Wanwan.

Here, Zhang Wanwan took a hot bath for the first time in two months. There was also shower gel and shampoo. She was so happy that she showered for half an hour before coming out feeling refreshed.

When she stepped into the dormitory, she happened to run into Yu Yunfei and the other four who had just returned. Zhang Wanwan's eyes fell on the food in Yu Yunfei's hand, and she rushed over to grab it like a starving ghost, "Hurry up, I'm so hungry!"

Everyone watched her wolf down her food in silence, unable to ask her any questions.

Kong Rou said distressedly, "Poor thing, was he sold to do hard labor for two months? Look, he had some flesh on his face before, but now he's just skin and bones, so skinny that he's unrecognizable!"

"Where have you been? How did you become like this? Did Professor Zhang really ask you to do hard labor?" Yu Yunfei asked with a frown, a little anxious. She looked Zhang Wanwan up and down, and did not jump up until she saw that she was not injured or anything.

Zhang Wanwan kept shaking her head, her mouth full of food, and she couldn't speak.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said contentedly: "It's still comfortable here! You don't know that I have been living on steamed buns every day for a while, and I don't even have the mind to eat. Also, I haven't taken a good bath for two months. I just used shower gel and rubbed myself into mud!"

Everyone felt a chill when they heard this, and Wu Ruoling and the others became even more curious, "So you really went to labor camp? No, you went there to experience hardship?"

Zhang Wanwan hesitated and replied, "I guess so!" Thinking of her treasures, she looked distressed. She poked the rice in her bowl heavily and said through gritted teeth, "Why is school starting so soon? Why not delay it for another month or two? The results of my experiment haven't come out yet!"

Everyone thought she was mentally ill and looked at her with even more sympathy.

Yu Yunfei quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat well and have a good rest. We can talk about it later if there is anything else. I will wash your sheets when school starts, so you can cover yourself with them now."
