Chapter 294 295 The Golden Leg of the Laboratory!
Zhou Wenqing has been researching this project for several years.
Most of the research on superconductivity in domestic laboratories is based on nickel, and there is not much research on palladium. The simulation calculation results of Zhou Wenqing's team have already anticipated this possibility.
But palladium is a precious metal, and there are regulations on the quota used by the experimental team each year.
Jiangda's resources have always been one of the best in domestic universities, and it is very generous to major laboratories. Even palladium can be allocated to major laboratories every year, but this is far from enough for Zhou Wenqing.
In order for the team members to graduate smoothly, he would complain to Dean Huang every year.
It's just that metals have always been scarce in the country, and there are only so many resources. Zhou Wenqing knew that even the dean couldn't do anything.
They use palladium by the gram.
This is the first time someone has used "jin" to discuss with him.
It was no less than hearing "a thousand kilograms" of gold by an ordinary person.
Zhou Wenqing suspected that he had heard it wrongly, "Student Bai, what did you say?"
Bai Shi and Wang Youfeng had a special relationship. In addition to saving her life that night, she also accompanied and helped Grandma Wang in her later years, not to mention Ning Xiao.
It is difficult to repay a debt of gratitude.
It is not easy to purify palladium. This is the first time that Bai Shi came to him. Wang Youfeng did not have much spot goods, so he mobilized the warehouses in various sub-regions and transferred this amount to Bai Shi.
"How much do you need?" Bai Shi realized that 100 kilograms was a bit too much. She thought for a moment and explained calmly on her phone, "I have an uncle who specializes in this business. He can invest in our laboratory."
"About," Zhou Wenqing came to his senses and said a number that he thought was outrageous, "three..."
"Thirty kilograms?" Bai Shi nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you. It should be here in the next few days."
Zhou Wenqing watched Bai Shi leave the office, then picked up the cup in his hand and silently put away the "kilograms" on the back.
Bai Shi likes to describe it in traditional kilograms, while Zhou Wenqing prefers to describe it in scientific grams.
Three kilograms, this is about the number he applies to the school every year.
The door was closed.
The teaching assistant heard Bai Shi say "30 kilograms", which means 30 kilograms of experimental material palladium, not 30 kilograms of "cabbage".
The office, which was very tense in the last second, became mysterious in the next second.
The teaching assistant looked at Bai Shi's figure.
He had naturally heard of Bai Shi when he followed Zhou Wenqing to lead Tong Feng. This year's freshman is beautiful and has a brilliant mind. In the same year, even Liang Wuyu was defeated by her. Her popular posts can be seen from time to time on the forum of the university city.
In recent years, it seems that only He Wen can compare with her in terms of popularity.
"Teacher," the teaching assistant withdrew his gaze from Bai Xi's back, and was in a trance: "Student Bai said that her uncle sponsored 30 kilograms of palladium. Did I hear it correctly?"
"...I heard it too."
The teaching assistant was silent for a while, then bent down to pick up the contract that Zhou Wenqing threw on the ground, and used his hands to brush off the dust on it, "Teacher, what should I do about this?"
Seeing this contract again, Zhou Wenqing was not so bitter and resentful.
With four years of research time and limited materials, his laboratory was already difficult.
If other students told him 30 kilograms, Zhou Wenqing might just laugh it off, but Bai Xi...
He always felt that Bai Xi was not like other students in the same class. She respected herself, but the way she looked at herself was not the same as Ning Xiao and the others, so Zhou Wenqing always called her "Student Bai" instead of Bai Xi.
"Go find Dean Huang," Zhou Wenqing took the document and said in a deep voice, "I want to ask clearly, are they going to gamble with the students' future?"
This sentence was a bit heavy.
The teaching assistant did not dare to answer.

Outside.
Hu Yue and Senior Brother Liu were looking at the office while unconsciously sorting out the things in their hands.
Seeing Bai Xi coming out, Hu Yue hurriedly asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Wenqing was easy to talk to, and they didn't have the courage of Bai Xi to go in at this time.
"It's okay." Bai Xi sat next to Hu Yue and turned on the computer.
Hu Yue withdrew his gaze from the office, leaned on the table, and sighed.
When she had nothing to do, she turned her eyes to Bai Xi's computer, "Junior, your computer boots up so quickly."
Seeing the MSD fitting curve at a glance, Hu Yue was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand, closed her chin, and murmured: "Junior, I finally know why the teacher has been scolding us as a group of idiots..."
After Bai Xi finished matching the drawings, she packaged the files and sent them to Ning Xiao.
Then she opened the mixing software that Dean Jian sent her and put on headphones.
Zhou Wenqing didn't have time to take care of them today, so she took the time to listen to Dean Jian's tuning.
Hu Yue watched her software go from simulating parts to a black and white page that she didn't recognize, which seemed to be an audio page.
"What is this?" She pointed at Bai Xi's computer and asked.
"To listen to music." Seeing that Hu Yue was fine, Bai Wei pulled out the other earphone and handed it to her.
Hu Yue was thinking about Zhou Wenqing and was in no mood to listen to music.
But when Bai Wei handed it to her, she took it and casually put it in her ears.
Hu Yue is no longer a fan of celebrities. Although she is a little less "watered" than others, her time during graduate school is still very fragmented, and she has little time to listen to music and watch TV series.
The music in the earphones is a piece of classical music she has never heard before. It's a
beautiful melody.
Just listening to the music, she can feel the lingering feeling of riding a horse across the world, taking revenge and retiring from the world after revenge.
Hu Yue had never studied music and her sense of music was average, so she couldn't tell the difference. She tilted her head to ask Bai Xi, "What instrument is this? It sounds so nice."
For a moment, she could only hear music. She
temporarily forgot about the big thing that had just happened in the laboratory.
"Konghou, Xiao, Yangqin, Huqin," Bai Xi tapped the table with her white fingertips, tilted her head and slowly spoke to Hu Yue, "There's also a Guzheng solo later."
Hu Yue had heard of these instruments, but she didn't know their timbres.
It was the first time that Hu Yue heard such beautiful music and sound quality. She asked Bai Mi the name of the song.
Bai Mi didn't know the name of the song either.
This was a new song that Dean Jian and her collaborated on after they finished composing the song "Flowers on the Tree". Bai Mi hadn't written the lyrics yet, and she didn't know either.
She folded her arms around her chest, leaned lazily against the back of the chair, and tilted her head, "Sister, what do you think after listening to it?"
"After listening to it, I want to sail across the ocean," Hu Yue sighed. She has always been a Buddhist. She was happy to be called over to join the group in academics because she could have a tea break. But at this moment, she felt a little sad, "I don't know if my senior brother can graduate next year."
After Hu Yue came to study for a master's degree, she found that academic work was not so pure.
Once interests are involved, everything becomes complicated.
"Yes." Bai Xi spoke up.
Across the street, Ding Wenyang yelled "Sister Xi" because he had a disagreement with Tang Ming because the voltage was not right.
Bai Xi went to take a look.
Behind him, Hu Yue saw that Bai Xi did not say the name of the song until the end. Seeing that she was standing next to Ding Wenyang to help him test the data, he did not disturb her. He opened a certain app to listen to the song and recognize it...
Recognize it, can't recognize it?
Hu Yue stared at the app and gave it a two-point rating.

Shimen District, Xuankang Pharmacy.
There are many people who come to make appointments for acupuncture and queue up for acupuncture in the two stores.
Xu Wenyao arrived very early in the afternoon. Xue Chun was wearing a white coat and holding a needle bag in her hand. She didn't look as bright as she did in the bar, but her eyes were still charming and her hair was all tied up.
"I haven't studied with the teacher for a long time. Are you sure you want me to do it?" She pulled out a silver needle with a silvery luster.
Xu Wenyao was very elegant. He was holding a thesis written entirely in a foreign language in his hand. He took off his black coat and sat opposite her, motioning her to just do the needle and not to worry about him.
Xue Chun didn't say anything else and finished the needle for him neatly.
She used her left hand.
After the needle was inserted, she packed up the needle bag and went to the back to help people get medicine. Xiaowu, who was squatting in the corner playing games, looked up at the right time, "How did he know you were here? Strange."
Xue Chun's news was never made public in the Qinglong Bar.
Xue Chun opened the drawer and took out some money from it. Bai Zhi said, "He is a student from Jiang University. He can get information from several waiters in the bar."
People like Xu Wenyao and Bai Zhi can easily get the information they want by asking around. After they sell things to others, they have to count the money for them.
Xiao Wu had not been to school for a few days and seemed to understand.
Xue Chun glanced at him and said, "You should go to school after the New Year."
"I won't," Xiao Wu stood up quickly and went to the back to help unload the goods. He protested, "I am so old and studying with a group of junior high school students. It will damage my reputation."
He found an excuse to slip to the back to unload the goods, but then he remembered that he had never heard that Xue Chun had been to school, so he felt that she was very powerful.
She can do accounting, art, and bartending.
Dr. He said that she learned acupuncture very quickly and that she could pass the exam with a certificate.
Xiaowu had just moved in when he received a call.
He came in and looked at Xuechun seriously, "Pack up and go back to the bar, the boss is here!"
Their top boss, Wang Youfeng.
Not to mention Xiaowu, even Mao Kun is afraid of him. Xuechun quickly put down what she was doing and asked He Zhiwei to help check on Xu Wenyao.
Xu Wenyao looked at her and asked, "Are you short of money?"
"I have to make money for the boss," Xuechun picked up her cotton padded jacket, turned around and looked at her, "But who doesn't like money?"
She left.
Xu Wenyao had to remove the needles in advance. He was considered Bai Xi's brother. He Zhiwei had heard Xiaowu say that and was very polite to Xu Wenyao.
After removing the needles, he drove back to the Xu family. He
played with Xu Siqi in the living room for a while.
He had just finished his postgraduate exams and would start preparing materials for the re-examination
after two days of rest. Old Mrs. Xu talked to him for a while, turning the Buddhist beads in her hands. She was in high spirits recently and became more energetic: "I asked your aunt to invite a few professors to dinner. Have you decided whose postgraduate exam you will take?"
"I have considered it." Xu Wenyao leaned on the table next to him, slowly shaking the rattle, his eyebrows and eyes were clear.
"If you were with the Qi family at that time..." Mrs. Xu stopped talking halfway and then remembered something, "Your father had dinner with his old classmates in the evening. You have heard about his daughter, Xu Yajun."
Now the Xu family has more and more say in Yunxiao District. The old lady is very confident when facing the Qi family.
Qi Shuyun is no longer her only choice. She began to look at other girls of the right age.
Xu Wenyao never argued with Mrs. Xu about this. He went upstairs to the study to organize things.
"Wenyao," Mrs. Xu looked at his back as he went upstairs, "are you still entangled with that bar girl?"
Xu Wenyao did not respond to her.
Mrs. Xu looked at his back with deep brows.
"Old madam," Butler Xu tucked Xu Siqi's blanket, "the young master always has his own ideas, you don't have to worry too much about him."
"Butler Xu," the old lady lowered her gaze, twirling the beads in her hand, and said slowly, "help me make an appointment with that woman."

No. 29 Changping Street.
Xu family, dinner.
Mr. Xu put down his chopsticks, took the tea handed over by the servant, and looked at Xu Jueming: "I heard there was something unusual in Jiangjing today?"
Xu Jueming looked at Xu Jueling and Xu Nanjing at the dinner table, and said calmly: "Jiangjing has been very lively recently, and Mr. Chen has been alarmed. In just a few days, he has gone out of the Chen family gate four times."
Several people chatted about recent events in Jiangjing.
"What's going on with the Mu family? I heard that their old man came out." Mr. Xu said slowly.
Xu Jueming didn't care too much, "What can they achieve?"
After dinner, Xu Jinyi walked beside Xu Jueming and asked him whether he needed to make friends with the Mu family. "I heard that the Mu family is related to the Jiang family."
But no one dared to spread this rumor casually.
"How is it possible? Look at the Gao family, they don't care about it, what does the Mu family have to do with them?" Xu Jueming thought it was a smoke bomb, "Mu Qiong is gone, they Mu family is nothing to be afraid of now."
If he has this time, he might as well communicate more with the Ming family and the Liu family.
Here.
After Xu Jueling and the other two returned to the yard, he asked Xu Nanjing, "Why is your uncle so secretive?"
Xu Nanjing is familiar with Chen Beixuan, Jiang Xijue and others.
He is much more informed than his father.
"Today, it seems that someone came to Jiangjing," Xu Nanjing didn't know much, "I heard from Sister Beixuan that the other party is a senior executive of the Dawson family."
The Dawson family, the behind-the-scenes man of the Qinglong Bar, is also the owner of the auction house.
The Chen family has not found out who exactly came.
But without exception, even the Chen family wants to cooperate with them.
"No wonder he wants to cover it up," Xu Jueling pondered, "Xu Jinyi and his group have a good time with the Qinglong Bar. The capital is indeed lively recently. What about the Mu family?"
Regarding this, Xu Nanjing just said calmly, "If you have the chance, you should drink more tea with President Mu."
The two of them were chatting about business, and Gao Yan didn't listen.
She discussed with Butler Xu to find a day with good weather, let Bai Di and Gao Shu come to the Xu family to appreciate the plum blossoms, and arrange snacks for that time.

Wednesday.
After class in the morning.
Bai Di did not go to the cafeteria to eat, but left Jiangjing University.
An hour later, Qinglong Bar.
At this point, the bar was not open yet.
Many people stopped at the door. Bai Shi got out of the car and walked into the door wearing a black cloak.
Next to her, the young man who wanted to remind her that the bar was closed at noon saw a manager-like person coming out respectfully to greet Bai Shi, and he was stunned for a moment.
Finally, he looked up at the huge sign of Qinglong Bar and was very shocked.
That's right.
Qinglong Bar.
Who is this girl?
Twenty minutes later, Bai Shi came out carrying a canvas bag.
Yunxiao District has always been an economic center.
Today is Wednesday.
Bai Shaoqi and Song Min are in the same class. They only have classes in the second half of the afternoon. The two came to the Yunxiao District Chamber of Commerce at noon. This year, the Yunxiao District Chamber of Commerce held a cocktail party. Both of them refused the help of their families and used their connections to enter the cocktail party.
In the car, Song Min and Bai Shaoqi had just finished their meal. As soon as he started the car, he saw Bai Di at the bus stop opposite.
He paused for a moment.
Bai Shaoqi's eyes also fell on Bai Di. Bai Di was looking down at her hands, holding a canvas bag whose original appearance could not be seen clearly, and looked a bit like a student. Bai Shaoqi
paused slightly: "What is she doing here?"
The business she started with Song Min was considered very successful. She rarely paid attention to Bai Di. The two had already embarked on different paths.
The two sat in the car, Bai Di was waiting for the bus, Bai Shaoqi didn't understand, "Didn't they say that her stepfather is quite rich, why didn't he buy her a scooter?"
Song Min was sending a message to the president of the student union. There was a cooperation and he hoped to catch up with the professor of the finance department.
When he looked over, Bai Di had already boarded the bus.

When Bai Ti returned to the laboratory, Hu Yue was teaching Xu Zhiyue how to operate the experimental equipment.
In the laboratory, even Ding Wenyang was silent today.
"Where is Teacher Zhou?" She untied the laces of her cloak, stretched out her hand and pulled it off, and asked.
Hu Yue turned her head back, "In the dean's office, talking about what happened yesterday, hey, little sister."
She said, her eyes fell on Bai Ti's hand.
The things in the canvas bag are a bit heavy. You can see the tight straps and the square outline outlined by the heavy objects inside. You can tell at a glance that the things inside should be very heavy.
But...
being carried by Bai Ti, it feels like lifting a heavy weight with ease.
She hooked it casually with two fingers, as if she was hooking a bag of feathers.
"What is this?" Hu Yue asked curiously.
Bai Xi casually put her cape on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, reaching out to open her phone to read the message sent by Sun Fei: [Miss Bai, do you have time to come to the police station recently? The information has been sent.]
While replying to Sun Fei, she handed the canvas bag to Hu Yue, "Palladium."
Organize things! One more chapter today, my dears.
