Lu Yuan nodded immediately. He then understood why many people like to plant aquatic plants in their fish tanks, not only for aesthetic purposes but also to help purify the water.
"Great! It seems our water source problem can be solved. By the way, I wanted to ask if this plant can be used to purify the previously polluted water sources?"
Chen Yan sighed: "Actually, the reason I got these two plants was to study them and see if they could purify the water. However, the people in the research institute have been studying them for a long time but haven't been able to solve this problem. But I still don't want to give up and want to try again. If we can really solve the problem of polluted water, then our water source problem will no longer be a problem!"
"Great! By the way, could you pinch a little bit for me? I want to try it when I get back!" Lu Yuan pointed to the glass container lying on the ground and asked tentatively.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan say that he needed to pinch off just a tiny bit, Chen Yan immediately picked up her glass bottle as if it were a precious treasure, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, it's too small. If you're going to use it for research, I won't have enough. Besides, although this thing grows extremely fast, it's very precious at this stage. If you kill it, every little bit used will be less. I'll give it to you in a few days when it's a bit bigger!"
"No, just give me a tiny bit, I don't want more, just a little bit!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's eager expression, Chen Yan finally couldn't help but laugh: "You, I was just teasing you. How could I not give it to you? Although this thing is expensive, it's still not a problem for a big boss like you. It's just that they're unwilling to trade with us now, so I can only get some privately through some old connections. You must cherish it. Here's some for you!"
Lu Yuan quickly nodded and thanked him, "Thank you so much! Let's go to your lab right away and get me some!"
After leaving Chen Yan's laboratory, Lu Yuan eagerly carried his small plastic backpack back to his residence. After closing the door, he used his consciousness to place the water hyacinth and duckweed into the pond in his dimensional space.
The moment the duckweed and water hyacinth entered the dimensional space pond, it was as if a chemical reaction had occurred, and the speed of change was extremely fast. They immediately began to grow wildly in a visible form, and in no time a large area had grown.
Seeing the large patch of water hyacinth and duckweed that had grown out, Lu Yuan panicked a little. Fortunately, many fish and shrimp in the river like to eat aquatic plants. Upon seeing the appearance of new species, several small fish and shrimp rushed over and began to nibble on the duckweed and water hyacinth. Finding that the taste was acceptable, they attracted even more fish and shrimp.
Lu Yuan immediately stopped shooting. He was also afraid that his precious fishpond would be destroyed by water hyacinths and duckweed. If that happened, it would be a real loss.
After being nurtured by the water in the dimensional space, the leaves of the water hyacinth and duckweed look stronger and larger than before, and the green color is particularly vibrant, making them look especially beautiful.
Then Lu Yuan quickly took out a bunch of duckweed and water hyacinth from his space and placed them separately in a glass box, adding a little water from his dimensional space.
The growth rate of water hyacinths and duckweed immediately slowed down after leaving the dimensional space. However, Lu Yuan knew that although they seemed to be growing less, if you looked closely, the duckweed and water hyacinths were still growing much faster than when using other water sources. This was mainly because of the water in the dimensional space pond and because these duckweed and water hyacinths had grown in the dimensional space. However, their growth rate would gradually decrease over time.
Looking at the duckweed and water hyacinth in the water tank, Lu Yuan decided to give them to Chen Yan, since their current laboratory lacked many of the necessary equipment and could only conduct experiments using simple materials.
If we want to purify water sources using aquatic plants, then the problem of raw materials is the biggest issue. The water hyacinths and duckweed in Chen Yan's laboratory are simply not enough for her needs. If we want to conduct comparative experiments, we may have to wait for a while. However, the water source in the mining area is almost exhausted. If the problem is not solved soon, it is estimated that some people may die from lack of water.
Seeing that the water tank had been placed, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. However, it seemed inappropriate to give it to Chen Yan directly at this time. After all, he had only received these plants less than two hours ago, and giving them back so many at once would inevitably arouse Chen Yan's suspicion.
...
The next morning, Lu Yuan dialed Chen Yan's number directly. After receiving the call from Lu Yuan and learning that he was going to deliver something to her, Chen Yan immediately rushed to Lu Yuan's residence.
When Chen Yan entered Lu Yuan's room again, she immediately saw a glass jar on the table filled with clear water, and on top of it was a fish tank. The fish tank contained the water hyacinths and duckweed that she had given to Lu Yuan yesterday, but there seemed to be quite a lot of them.
"Where...where did you get all this stuff? I only gave you a little bit just now. Does that mean you already have this stuff here? Why did you ask me for it yesterday? If I had known, I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to get it from outside! I owe so many people favors now!"
Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, I got this water from the mine. It has extremely high levels of radiation, but it's not very harmful to the human body. One advantage of this water is that it contains a lot of catalysts. I asked you for these things yesterday to see if they could be used as catalysts for aquatic plants. I didn't expect them to be so effective! That's why I called you first thing this morning! Consider it compensation for borrowing these things from you earlier. Go back and see if you can make something of it!"
"What? There's water in the mine? Really? I didn't see any?" Chen Yan asked Lu Yuan with a hint of surprise.
"Uh, of course I have it! You probably haven't noticed! Besides, this kind of thing is extremely rare, and I was worried it might be harmful to the human body, so I haven't told anyone. But now I see your research seems to have hit a bottleneck, so I've brought this out. I've discovered that if you plant something in it, it grows incredibly fast. You can go back and try it out! By the way, don't tell anyone about this yet, lest it get back to the research institute!"
Lu Yuan made up an excuse to get away with it, but Chen Yan was no pushover either; she was a professional researcher. However, he was more interested in the duckweed at the moment and didn't ask any more questions.
"That's great, I'll take it back right away, thank you so much, Lu Yuan!"
"Haha, you're welcome. We're all just trying to survive!"
Watching the overjoyed Chen Yan carry the large water vat away from his residence, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
