The old lady said that the experiment failed because of a broken water pipe, which should be related to the broken water pipe.
The burst water pipe might be caused by too many bends, leading to excessive water pressure, or by poor-quality materials.
Now that we know the reasons for the failures of our predecessors, we should learn from their experiences and lessons.
Su Miaoyan squatted down and carefully designed the water pipe distribution diagram.
She closed the water pipe next to her, simulating the distribution of drippers after the potatoes were planted inside.
"Assistant Su, do you need my help?"
A familiar voice.
Su Miaoyan paused slightly and looked up.
Shen Mingzhi noticed the other person looking over and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
He walked to Su Miaoyan's side and said, "I went to the lab to look for Assistant Su, but I didn't see her, so I asked Professor Yan. After learning that you were in the experimental field, I came over. Assistant Su... I hope I'm not bothering you?"
Su Miaoyan: ...
She didn't quite understand why Shen Mingzhi was haunting her all day.
She forced a smile and said, "Of course I won't bother you. Professor Shen, why are you here instead of completing your mission?"
Shen Mingzhi: "Today's task is complete. I heard you were researching sprinkler and drip irrigation, so I came to take a look."
Su Miaoyan said "Oh," and then asked, "Did Professor Shen figure anything out?"
Shen Mingzhi bent down with Su Miaoyan, turned his head to look at the extremely beautiful face next to him, paused for a second, and then smiled and said, "Assistant Su, I think you should stop researching this."
Su Miaoyan frowned slightly, and at the same time stood up. "Why?"
Seemingly sensing the other party's displeasure, Shen Mingzhi didn't care and said in a deep voice, "Because you won't succeed."
Before Su Miaoyan could speak, Shen Mingzhi continued, "A few years ago, some people wanted to widely adopt the sprinkler and drip irrigation system used in Iraq in the military region, but unfortunately, it failed and offended the leaders. Do you know why the Xinjiang Provincial Research Institute has not been valued by Beijing in recent years? It's because of this."
"If you fail this time too, and your superiors find out, no matter how smart or talented you are, they will only think that you are too ambitious, that you are too clever for your own good, that you are self-righteous and don't know how to correct your mistakes."
Su Miaoyan also realized what was happening instantly.
Is Shen Mingzhi trying to persuade himself not to conduct this experiment?
If Su Miaoyan didn't know his identity as an enemy agent, she might have genuinely believed that Shen Mingzhi was concerned about her. However, after learning his true identity, Su Miaoyan would only use her brain to think about what his purpose was in doing this.
At the same time, a chill ran through her.
Although she didn't know if the person who tried to silence her a few days ago was Shen Mingzhi, if it really was him, then the fact that he could still speak to her so gently showed how deep his scheming was. Su Miaoyan couldn't guess.
Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Professor Shen, but scientific research is all about innovation and breaking through the limitations of our predecessors. If there were no first person to try something new, how would the world know that crabs are so delicious?"
"Moreover, this time, I'm aiming for success, so Professor Shen can rest assured."
Professor Shen smiled. "Alright, I was just saying. Since Assistant Su has her own ideas, I won't try to persuade her anymore."
Su Miaoyan shook her head at him, and then continued with what she was doing.
Shen Mingzhi watched all of this quietly from the side.
With his hands behind his back, his white shirt was wrinkled from the friction, and his gaze remained fixed on Su Miaoyan.
"Professor Shen, are you really going to just stand there like that the whole time?"
Shen Mingzhi took a step to the side, smiled faintly, and said nothing. But at that moment, he began to count with his hands behind his back.
Three, two, one...
Shen Mingzhi walked toward the orchard with an extremely indifferent gaze.
Just then, a woman wearing a shirt with the institute's unique logo on her chest appeared out of nowhere and ran towards Su Miaoyan's experimental field.
When Wei Yaping saw the person wearing the same research institute coat as her, her eyes lit up. But when she saw what the person was holding, the light in her eyes was clouded with a gray mist.
How can there still be people who overestimate their abilities...?
Wei Yaping stepped forward and looked down at Su Miaoyan, who was focused on the distribution of water pipes.
Standing next to her.
Su Miaoyan also seemed to notice the corner of Yu Guangzhong's clothes, and frowned slightly, "Professor Shen?"
Shen Mingzhi's voice came from behind, "Professor Su, the person next to you is not me. You've mistaken me for someone else."
Su Miaoyan looked up in surprise and met a handsome face.
Although the person who came had a very handsome appearance, it was not hard to see that there were wrinkles under the corners of his eyes.
I'd guess he's in his thirties or forties.
She had never seen this person before, but she noticed the academy-branded clothing on her chest.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "You are..."
Wei Yaping said calmly, "My name is Wei Yaping, and I currently work at a research institute, just like you."
Su Miaoyan put down the water pipe in her hand, got up from the ground, and said, "Professor Wei, hello."
Wei Yaping didn't ask Su Miaoyan's name, but instead picked up the water pipe from her hand and said indifferently, "Tell me, what are your specific thoughts on this experiment?"
Su Miaoyan didn't recognize the professor named Wei Yaping, but she still spoke up.
"The specific idea is to make the ground as flat as possible and reduce bends so that the water pressure can be kept at a stable value. We will measure the distance between crops, conduct multiple tests, and take the optimal value."
Wei Yaping paused slightly in her hand holding the water pipe, as if she was thinking.
She glanced at Su Miaoyan. "Do you know who I am?"
Contrary to expectations, Su Miaoyan simply smiled and said, "Professor Wei must be the professor who conducted the experiments on drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation a few years ago, right?"
Wei Yaping was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Su Miaoyan to guess her identity so quickly.
She asked in surprise, "How did you know? Did Professor Shen tell you?"
Su Miaoyan shook her head. "Professor Shen didn't tell me; I guessed it myself."
Wei Yaping smiled, then said in a cold voice, "The specific idea you just mentioned, did you come up with it yourself?"
Su Miaoyan: "Yes, Professor Wei."
Unexpectedly, Wei Yaping stared coldly at the water pipe lying on the experimental field and said, "Do you know that what you're saying is also my idea?"
Su Miaoyan immediately understood Wei Yaping's meaning and frowned, "Professor Wei, are you trying to steal my experimental results?"
"How can this be called theft!"
Wei Yaping's voice suddenly rose.
