"Come over here."
Professor Li led Sun Ye to a square table, bent down and pulled out a chair from under the table, turned around and sat down.
Sun Ye stood in front of Professor Li, with her hands hanging naturally on both sides of her waist. She knew that whether she could enter the research institute depended on this last step.
Professor Li took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes which were a little sore and swollen, and put them back on when he felt better.
"Sun Ye, can I ask you a few questions first? After all, this... you know, you can't be careless."
Here we come!
Sun Ye thought to herself that she had told her teacher about it when she first knew she could enter the research institute, and the teacher also told her some of the procedures. When she found out it was Professor Li, the expression on her face became strange for a moment.
Finally, he told her to work hard and transfer her to his team after completing this pilot project.
Professor Liu was also very busy and had no time to call his apprentice to the research institute. To be honest, with Sun Ye's level, he was more than qualified to be an assistant.
Not to mention the special tacit understanding he and Professor Liu have developed in recent years. To put it in an exaggerated way, Sun Ye can know what Professor Liu wants with just a glance from him, and he can tell whether to take the beaker or tweezers with just a move of his fingers.
Although Professor Liu has been carrying out his research work as usual in the past few weeks, he always feels that something is missing. He did not realize what it was at the moment and just thought that he was not familiar with the environment.
"OK."
Sun Ye, who didn't know Professor Li's personality, could only give a conventional answer to avoid being rejected for anything he didn't like. There were precedents for this.
In fact, anyone who can become a professor at Mizuki University basically has good moral qualities and will not deliberately make things difficult for others.
“What do you think about hydroponic vegetables?”
Sun Ye was stunned for a moment. These were completely different topics from the one her assignment was about. One was about cuttings, and the other was about hydroponics. They were completely unrelated.
However, Sun Ye still thought about this question seriously before answering:
"It's feasible, but it requires certain conditions, such as high light intensity, temperature, and humidity. For example, the bean sprouts we often eat are a type of hydroponic vegetable..."
"That's right, that's a very appropriate example."
Sun Ye breathed a sigh of relief. From what Professor Li said, she probably passed the test.
"Huh? Leaves."
"teacher."
Sun Ye turned his head and looked carefully. It turned out that it was the teacher who came from the direction of the forbidden area.
It seems that the teacher's level should be quite high. As for the forbidden area, even Wu Guoqiang, who had been in the research institute for more than four years, could not enter, but the teacher entered as soon as he came back.
As for what the teacher said about transferring her to his own group, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
"This...you know each other..."
"Ah, this is my student. What do you think, Lao Li?"
"You're so good! You accepted a disciple but didn't tell me about it. If I hadn't bumped into you, I wouldn't have known about it."
Professor Li turned his face away with a teasing tone, but still gave Professor Liu a thumbs up.
"Student Sun Ye is very intelligent, which is why I decided to take him as my student."
"Come on, don't you see the students behind you, all crying out for food, waiting for you to feed them? Sun Ye is my student."
"Hey, you're still impatient, and you're a cultured person, but your words are rough."
"The words are rough but the truth is true."
“…”
Sun Ye was watching the two elderly people from the side, and for a moment he thought he was watching the children of the village quarreling with each other, old and young.
"Ye Zi, just follow Professor Li closely. He's quite capable."
Professor Li immediately glared at him and asked, "What do you mean by 'two brushes'? Old Liu just likes to tease people, and he doesn't seem to change this old habit."
"I know, teacher."
Of course, Sun Ye answered Professor Liu's words seriously.
"Alright, alright, go in. I'm not going to eat your precious student anymore."
"You, hey!"
Professor Liu shook his head and laughed, patted Professor Li on the shoulder, nodded to Sun Ye, and walked towards the forbidden area.
"Sun Ye, come on, let's go in too."
Since you are Lao Liu's student, you must have a solid foundation, so there is no need to teach you one by one.
His vision was as good as ever, and he picked the Golden Phoenix at once. He also wanted to see what kind of talent the old man Lao Liu had to accept as his apprentice.
Sun Ye followed Professor Li into a spacious laboratory. It was really much bigger than the research institute of the Qianjin Brigade, and it had more and more complete instruments.
"Sun Ye, try mixing up some alkaline salt solution and let me see what it does."
The laboratory table was neatly filled with various materials. Sun Ye understood that this was another test. It was thanks to the teacher that there was such a test. However, this was a small matter. She would not bring shame to the teacher.
I quickly thought about it and realized that there are five alkaline salt solutions, namely sodium carbonate, sodium acetate, sodium phosphate, sodium sulfide and sodium bicarbonate.
Sun Ye searched the lab bench and found two labeled bottles of carbon dioxide and sodium hydroxide, intending to use the reaction between the two to make sodium carbonate.
As for why he chose this, Sun Ye felt that this was the simplest, most effective, and did not require too many detailed operations.
Professor Li didn't specify how many alkaline salt solutions she needed to prepare, so she would be considered done if she could prepare just one.
Sun Ye moved quickly and tinkered with the lab bench for a while before presenting the prepared sodium carbonate to Professor Li.
A small piece of white, odorless powder lay quietly in the beaker. Sun Ye covered it with a lid, otherwise it would absorb water and become lumps in a short time. This thing absorbs water very well.
Professor Li watched Sun Ye prepare the works the whole time. Both the technique and the proportion were perfect and very steady.
"Professor Li, do you want to make another alkaline salt solution?"
Sun Ye finally thought about it and asked this question. It was not enough to show his level. At least this kind of simple question should be known by anyone who has instruments in high school or even junior high school.
"No need, as long as you can make it."
"Xiao Wu, come here and take Sun Ye inside."
They are old acquaintances. Professor Li also took into consideration that Sun Ye was more familiar with Wu Guoqiang. There were eight or nine new faces in this laboratory.
As soon as Sun Ye came in, she looked at her secretly. It was said that this person might become her junior sister in the future. They were so used to the teacher accepting a new student from time to time that they were numb to it.
But we were of the same age before, but this time the guy looked like he had just reached adulthood.
Seeing Wu Guoqiang leading Sun Ye into the inner laboratory, which was inaccessible to anyone without certain basic knowledge, everyone opened their eyes wide.
There are always a lot of geniuses every year, and this year a genius came to my house.
The older people outside who were still learning basic mixing and memorizing various reaction formulas looked at each other in confusion, thinking that it was really a gift from God, and they also wanted to go in and take a look.
Drooling with envy.
Sun Ye followed him into the inner door. She found that she had been following this person or that person this morning. Anyway, the right thing to do was to follow. As she thought about it, she actually wanted to laugh.
She had only had a cursory look at everything in the research institute. If she were to go through it again alone, needless to say, she would get lost in minutes and not know which way was which.
Maybe you can’t even find the exit!
Sun Ye collected his thoughts and saw Wu Guoqiang push open the inner door. The inside was completely different from the outside. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a paradise for vegetable plants.
After closing the inner door, it was very warm inside. Not long after Sun Ye came in, her forehead began to sweat. It was because she was wearing a sweater.
When I saw Wu Guoqiang wearing only a single layer of clothing, I thought he was in good health and wouldn't feel cold. But now I remembered how hesitant she was to speak when she changed clothes, and now I understood why.
Sun Ye enjoyed the fresh plant scent that hit his face, and he didn't notice that his mind was relaxed. All kinds of chirping sounds made his head buzz.
"Ah, another Twoleg comes in!"
"It's a new two-legged beast that I haven't seen before."
"I like this two-legged beast."
"She smells nice."
"I declare her my favorite Twoleg."
“………”
A name I've heard for a long time, two-legged beast!
Sun Ye lowered his head and looked at the vine that was sticking to the edge of his pants. He felt a little amused and helpless. It must have become a spirit.
He also knows how to curry favor with others.
"Brother Wu, wait a minute, I'll put this away before I leave."
Sun Ye carefully placed a vine of a plant whose name he didn't know on the shelf. The vine was still quite tender, emerald green all over, with small hairs on it, and it was not prickly.
"Little guy, hold on tight, or you won't be able to get up next time if you fall."
In a place where Sun Ye couldn't hear, a shy voice sounded delicately:
"She touched me and put me back in place very gently. The sound was so beautiful. She cares about me the most in the world."
"Shameless!"
"You're talking nonsense."
“…”
A new round of attack began with a sound that only plants could hear.
The reason why Sun Ye couldn't hear it was because he had closed his mind. Otherwise, if Sun Ye heard this, he would definitely burst out laughing.
The two people in the human world were as usual, unaware of the argument happening in the plant world.
"It seems that you like these little things very much."
"Yes, they are very cute. There is no trouble when we are together."
"Ha ha."
Wu Guoqiang chuckled twice and agreed with this. He also liked these plants very much.
The two came to the middle area, where in a huge petri dish, two completely different plants were wrapped together and growing together.
It seems that this is the cutting experiment project.
Sun Ye discovered that the two exposed ends were two unrelated plants, wrapped in transparent plastic, and it seemed difficult for them to grow together.
Try to gently connect the voices of these two little guys and see what's going on.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Who is it?"
"I am the human in front of you, and I am also the biped in your mouth, but I prefer you to call me Sun Ye."
"Twolegs?"
"It's really a two-legged beast!"
"Sun Ye, can you please separate us? I can't stand this guy anymore. He stinks. I'm a fragrant person and I don't want to be with him."
"Who do you think is stinky? You are the stinky one. How could I stay with a guy like you? Every minute and every second is torture for me. I might as well die."
The two guys in my mind started arguing violently as soon as they opened their mouths. If they could materialize, they would definitely fight each other.
Can these two grow into one plant?
Sun Ye expressed doubts about this.
"Sun Ye, this isn't our first time transplanting, but we spent a lot of time and effort this time and still couldn't succeed. Over there, we succeeded, but only this one, the last specimen left. The others..."
Sun Ye already understood what was said later, but seeing how the two little guys were so incompatible, he was afraid that it would be a bit difficult.
"Then is there any neutralizing agent to neutralize it? Direct contact is too irritating."
Sun Ye tentatively proposed a solution. Since they both thought the other was smelly, it would be better to separate the odors and avoid direct contact.
"That's a possible solution, but it's hard to find a neutralizing agent. If you're not careful, it will destroy the original structure and cause necrosis."
Sun Ye wanted to let her give it a try, but she had only been in the lab for less than two hours, so it would be inappropriate to speak up now.
He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two little guys inside. Their vitality was disappearing bit by bit at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
