Ye Lan also knew that if he didn't explain clearly, he would not be able to pass this hurdle, so he asked someone to bring him a bottle of mineral water.

The mineral water is a common brand in Europe and is sealed.

After opening it, she asked several professors to taste it each.

The professors didn't understand what was going on, but they were eager to learn, so they drank the wine as instructed and expressed their feelings.

“It’s just ordinary mineral water.”

Ye Lan nodded slightly, without saying anything more, turned around and poured the bottle of water on the mushrooms.

The water wet the mushrooms and dripped onto the ground. It looked like ordinary vegetable washing, but after a few seconds, someone staring at the ground suddenly exclaimed.

"What is that?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the ground submerged in mineral water was frozen. The sunlight fell on it, and because there was brown soil underneath, the refraction of light was in sharp contrast with the surroundings.

The professors in front of him were confused and bewildered. Finally, Wilson leaned over and touched the water. Then he exclaimed in shock, "It's frozen!"

What?

The others followed suit and squatted down, touching the solidified water stain again and again, and then conducted various analyses.

"It's definitely water. The surface is very solid, but it's at room temperature. This is indeed consistent with the characteristics of the research." The professor of the chemistry school immediately asked the students to fetch the testing equipment.

Soon, a detector connected to special clothing was delivered.

The old professor placed the probe port on the water surface and a few seconds later let out a cheer of surprise, "It's the exact same molecular structure as the ice on the lake. I've solved it! The secret of the lake has finally been solved!"

The students of the chemistry school were so shocked by the news that they couldn't recover for a long time.

The new students had just arrived and didn't understand the situation, so they took the initiative to chat and asked, "Don't you know the answer at the beginning?"

Upon hearing this, the student couldn't help but smile wryly. "It's not just us, even the school calls it an unsolved mystery. We chose to establish a branch campus here because the exploration team discovered this wonder on the lake surface. To study the naturally occurring glass on the lake surface, several colleges have been working tirelessly to find the answer. But we never imagined the answer would be something as common as a few mushrooms."

At this point, everyone finally understood why the old professors were so excited.

But this is far from enough.

"Ms. Ye, could you please explain to us in detail why water that touches mushrooms turns into this special ice?"

The old professors changed their previous distrustful attitude and were now very respectful, even using honorifics to address Ye Lan.

As the saying goes, there is always a teacher among three people, and there is no distinction between high and low in knowledge.

Ye Lan accepted the gift and told them about the unique geographical features of this place.

"The water quality in this mountain range is special, so while the plants may appear to be growing normally, they have actually undergone some degree of mutation."

When I explained the first sentence, the professors had already started nodding in agreement.

"Yes, we previously sampled and analyzed the groundwater and indeed found excessive minerals. If not diluted, drinking this water would cause poisoning."

As he spoke, he also attached a detailed report.

Ye Lan glanced at it for a few times and nodded, "But the water quality only nourishes the vegetation and animals, and has no direct relationship with the lake freezing. The water naturally flowing from the springs at the bottom of the lake is the best proof."

The professors continued to nod their heads in agreement upon hearing this.

If it were so simple, they would have solved the mystery long ago with their natural science skills.

"We initially ruled out this possibility because, in addition to the fact that the water at the bottom of the lake is flowing, the layer of water frozen on the surface of the lake is actually snow from the top of the mountain, flowing down the hillside."

"Well, so you have collected vegetation samples." Ye Lan pointed to several cut down trees on the hillside.

"Yes, we also suspected that the water flow was affected by vegetation, so we collected and analyzed all the vegetation that might be the answer. But unfortunately, in the end, we found nothing."

Among them, the first ones they suspected were the big trees with the strongest grip and suction power, followed by some rare species and mutant species.

"We never imagined that the answer would be the most common mushroom."

Because this is in ancient Europe, most of the students and professors doing the research are Westerners. When faced with the species they are most familiar with, mushrooms are the first thing they exclude from the answer.

I never thought that it would be the darkest place under the lamp.

"Groundwater changes the characteristics of plants, and all things have spirits, so vegetation often disguises itself with an innocent image." Ye Lan pinched the mushroom on his fingertips and watched it become wilted after leaving the soil. There was no sign of it turning decay into magic.

Everyone agreed deeply, sighing repeatedly, "Yes, our experimental team searches all over the mountains every day for special plants, and we pass by these mushrooms every day without even glancing at them. We never imagined they could actually produce the world's strongest ice at room temperature."

"The strongest ice layer?" Ye Lan became interested when he heard this.

The chemistry professor nodded, finally scraping off a piece of ice and dirt. He exclaimed, "Don't underestimate this thin layer of ice. It's over ten thousand times harder than diamond. We tried many methods to collect it, but ultimately, we couldn't find a way. We had to make clothes made of special materials for on-site testing."

That was the purpose of the strange costumes they saw the old students wearing this morning.

"The ice on the lake is so thick that even cannonballs can't break it."

cannon.

Ye Lan's mind moved, and he glanced at the magnificent teaching area next to him, thinking slightly.

The final verdict given by the house was naturally a perfect pass.

"Congratulations, Ye Lan. Seer Rose University is proud to have a genius like you enrolled. I hope you can spend a happy four years here."

At this point, the mistake of losing the notice was finally written off, and applause gradually rose from the crowd. In the end, everyone had the same expression of admiration on their faces as in the carriage.

But this time, they really broke the prejudice.

Because even the genius recognized by Seer Rose University has solved a difficult problem that all professors and students have been unable to break through since the establishment of the school. This is an excellence that they can no longer surpass.

The second biggest beneficiary here is Vice President Professor Wilson, who made the right bet.

"Wow, congratulations! You're the incoming principal and you've brought with you a brilliant record of vision. I'm so jealous of you."

Wilson, despite receiving the blessings and praise from his colleagues, was not humble at all. Instead, he said proudly, "That's because you haven't met her in the Book of Genius. If you had faced her face to face, you would know how powerful she is."

The oppressive feeling through the screen was enough to make him, the question setter, break out in a cold sweat. He would never forget the feeling of being completely crushed by the huge amount of knowledge.

That's why Wilson took this gamble without hesitation.

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on, and their gazes towards the girl were filled with curiosity and passion, especially the professors from other colleges, who immediately surrounded her and started to get close to her.
