Sun Ye walked and looked. There were four rows in total, filled with various experimental instruments.
Glass test tubes are the most numerous, and some shelves have reagents of various colors, which look particularly charming.
Sun Ye stopped in front of a microscope. The microscope was very large and tall, as high as Sun Ye's waist.
"What? Do you want to take a look?" Professor Liu asked with interest.
The equipment in the research institute here is not even half as good as before. It is good enough to be able to preserve it and continue to do what he likes in this environment. He is content.
As for Guo Jianwu and Lin Qianjin, they were outside recording the growth data of various crops for comparison.
"Can I?" Sun Ye was a little excited and pinched his palm.
Professor Liu smiled and nodded.
He took out a piece of glass from a box, placed it on the microscope, adjusted the focus, and was able to clearly see the cell tissue.
He stepped aside and motioned Sun Ye to come forward. Sun Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and really saw something.
There were black lines, a regular structure, one after another. Could this be a cell? The human eye can't see it.
"Gently turn this button. Moving it forward zooms in, and moving it back zooms out. If you're interested, there are many different plant cell structures in the box. You can examine them one by one. Be careful not to pinch the center of the glass. Just hold it at both ends and place it in this position."
Professor Liu didn't expect Sun Ye to be able to start working right away. Today he wanted Sun Ye to get familiar with the environment, understand the operating procedures, and learn from the two guys.
"I understand, Professor Liu."
Sun Ye slowly placed his hand on the spiral, adjusted the focus and adjusted the aperture. It was magical.
The label on the glass is tomato, a circle with a black block inside. When you eat it normally, you would never imagine that it is made up of this.
Sun Ye followed the steps he had seen in the book one by one, took down the tomato specimen on the mirror table, and took out another piece of glass from the small box.
During the whole process, Sun Ye didn't dare to breathe and his whole body was tense.
It was great! She succeeded right at the first try. She put down the mirror arm and turned to look at Professor Liu behind her, her excitement beyond words.
"Teacher, come and see, I played it, I adjusted it, and it really appeared."
"Really? Then let me take a look."
Sun Ye immediately made way and looked at Professor Liu, hoping that Professor Liu could see it and say something.
"Yes, it's made of potatoes."
Professor Liu patted Sun Ye on the head and praised him, "You're better than that kid from the Lin family. When Qianjin first started working on this, he was so clumsy that he almost destroyed the specimen."
Sun Ye lowered his head in embarrassment, saying, "No way, Brother Lin is still very powerful."
"You can use the microscope now. Do you want to watch from here, or go out and follow them and record the data?"
Is that all for today?
Sun Ye thought he would do some hands-on work or watch the teacher do experiments.
So she asked, "Teacher, don't you do experiments?"
"No one does experiments every day. It's more about waiting for the passage of time to see if the results are useful."
"The most important thing is patience. Experiments can't be completed overnight. It can take as short as two or three months or as long as several decades."
"During this period, I have to constantly monitor and record changes in the data, which is both boring and tedious."
When Sun Ye heard this, she realized that it was not as she thought, and the results appeared in an instant.
"Moreover, not all experimental results are successful; failures often account for the majority."
Professor Liu first explained the pros and cons of this matter to Sun Ye to see if Sun Ye could accept it. After all, not everyone has this intention.
"Teacher, won't you get bored?"
Sun Ye's words made Professor Liu laugh out loud. He shook his head, his expression extremely serious: "No, I enjoy it and am willing to do it."
"Teacher, go over there and take a look. You decide what to do today. Take it one step at a time."
Professor Liu turned and walked to the other side, bending down and staring at the soil in the box.
Sun Ye raised her mouth to blow the bangs on her forehead, and glanced at the specimens on the laboratory table. She decided to go through these first before going outside to find Brother Lin and the others.
She started with something she was not familiar with. Those outside were all plants, which were her strong point and didn't take much effort.
It was noon by the time Sun Ye finished looking at all the specimens. There were only about forty specimens, but it took a bit of time to change them.
But it was not a complete failure. In the end, Sun Ye could almost mount the specimens by feel, see the images, and use the microscope as easily as his own arm.
Grandma Lin brought lunch. Sun Ye originally wanted to go home to eat, but he couldn't persuade Grandma Lin, so he ate three big bowls of food with tears in his eyes and felt very full.
The food cooked by Grandma Lin is full of oil and tastes delicious. There are also small steamed buns made with Fuqiang flour, but that is white flour, so Sun Ye can't bear to eat them.
She felt guilty because she did nothing at the institute and instead got a free meal.
She will work hard in the afternoon, and if she has the chance, she also wants to plant something in the yard.
This was what Brother Lin said during the meal. She could choose a piece of land in the yard to study, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say to plant it.
Sun Ye was a little tempted now. After dinner, she took the opportunity of taking a walk to observe all the places where things could be planted. She took a fancy to a piece that was neither too big nor too small, about one square meter.
He ran to Professor Liu and stood in front of him, then asked hesitantly, "Teacher, I want that piece of land."
Professor Liu looked in the direction of Sun Ye's finger and nodded in agreement.
"You've decided what to plant so quickly. First of all, I want you to observe its growth every day. You have to do all the fertilizing yourself. Don't ask anyone for help. I want to see the results. This is also your homework."
"Don't worry, teacher, I won't give up halfway."
"Okay, go to that room and choose the seeds."
Professor Liu raised his head and motioned Sun Ye to go to the small room at the entrance to choose the seeds he wanted.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ye waved his hand and said, "Teacher, I have seeds."
"It's up to you. I just want to see results. Remember, don't ask others for help. Once you start, you have to stick to it."
Sun Ye nodded vigorously, said something to Professor Liu and ran home. She had to go home to get the seeds.
"Ye Zi, are you back?"
Sun Ye pushed open the gate with sweat on his forehead, and without answering Sun's mother's words, he rushed into the room again.
I opened my clothes box and turned it over to the bottom, where I saw something wrapped in paper.
Sun Ye opened the lid and took a look with great anticipation, her heart pounding. She knew that the little rice plant's chance had come. She had treasured it until now, hoping that one day she could fulfill the little rice plant's wish and let its descendants multiply and grow.
I carefully opened the paper bag, but it was empty inside, not even a trace of the little rice plant.
Sun Ye's heart skipped a beat and he turned the paper bag over and over with his hands to search for it.
No!
Still no!
Maybe it fell in the box. Sun Ye hurriedly took out the box containing Xiaodaozi and searched through his clothes one by one, but couldn't find it.
"Ye Zi, what are you looking for?" Mother Sun came in and saw the room was in a mess.
"Mom, have you ever seen the rice plant in my room? It's a perfect, long plant with a stalk attached to it?"
Sun Ye looked up and asked her mother, holding on to a faint hope that maybe her mother had put it somewhere else and it was not lost.
"What rice? You harvested everything yourself. Mom didn't touch it."
Sun Ye was discouraged, but he didn't give up and continued to look around.
"Are you looking for rice? We still have some at home. Mom will get you some." After saying that, Mother Sun walked towards the room.
Sun Ye's box turned over and there was a hole at the bottom. When he looked again, he saw some wood chips in its place.
What else is there to understand? This is a case of being haunted by a rat.
Sun Ye was so angry that her eyes turned red. She squatted down, guilt filling her heart. She had spoken out of turn and she had lost Xiaodaozi.
Mother Sun grabbed a handful of rice and put it in Sun Ye's hand, saying, "Here, the rice you asked for."
How should Sun Ye tell her mother that each rice seed is different from another and that these are not her small rice seeds?
After Sun Ye calmed down, he took the rice given by his mother and walked towards the research institute step by step.
"Teacher, I want to plant this."
Sun Ye's words were so fragmented that Professor Liu felt breathless after hearing them.
Sun Ye took a deep breath to calm her intense emotions and showed the rice in her hand to Professor Liu.
"Hey, are you sure you want to plant this?"
Sun Ye nodded affirmatively and said repeatedly: "Teacher, I will plant it."
"Okay, then go and plant them. Remember to leave a few seeds, don't plant them all at once."
How many? How many? She only had a handful, no more than thirty or forty in total, but Professor Liu went into the lab right after he finished speaking. Sun Ye only had five left, no more. If she had more, she wouldn't have any left to plant.
Sun Ye found a small hoe in the room where the seeds were placed. He first loosened the yellow soil, and then took a gourd ladle to scoop water from the big vat and watered it thoroughly.
Others just watched, neither helping nor saying a word.
Sun Ye felt that it was almost done, so he dug a few shallow trenches and put the picked rice grains into them one by one at equal distances.
After carefully covering them with a thin layer of soil, Sun Ye was wondering whether she should dig a drainage ditch for them. She looked up at the people sitting under the eaves, but some of them looked at the sky, some looked at the ground, and they just ignored her look for help.
Well, she makes her own decision!
It didn't rain much today, so I decided not to dig. Sun Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought: I'm finally done planting.
Sun Ye returned the hoe to its original place and sat down on the ground. She was really tired from farming non-stop. Even if it was not her little rice, she would do her best to complete the experiment.
In fact, this season is not the time to plant rice, and it is not the right time to plant rice using the Sunye method.
However, no one reminded Sun Ye that he had to experience success or failure himself, and the real experiment could only be done by himself.
After a short break, Lin Qianjin handed him a notebook and pen, saying:
"Ye Zi, you have to start recording from now on. Come on!"
Lin Qianjin made a cheering gesture, and Sun Ye took it, turned to a new page, and wrote on it:
May 23, 1975
Plant thirty-eight grains of rice in three ridges.
She just jotted down a rough idea. She had never made such records before, so she just took her time to figure it out.
Just comfort yourself that you can understand it, and don’t ask for too much.
For the rest of the time, Sun Ye followed Lin Qianjin to observe various plants.
Sun Ye discovered that some of the crops in the field had already borne fruit, while others had just begun to sprout.
They also grow in strange shapes. For example, soybeans should be small and round, but the ones that grow here are square, which is a mutation.
There were also eggplants. She had seen round and purple ones before, but the ones here were long and green.
She only found out about this after looking at the labels on the ground, otherwise she wouldn't have recognized it. The teachers are really talented, and she doesn't know whether these can be considered successes or failures.
Suddenly she realized that her rice was a bit ordinary, just like her, hidden behind others and not ostentatious.
There were also normal ones, which were reduced in size according to a certain proportion. The quantity was quite large and densely packed, which really opened her eyes.
