Seeing that Jian Zhizhen and Lin Yi hadn't returned yet, and the giant snake was almost in front of them, Xu Qiuyuan hurriedly shouted, "Zhenzhen, Director, come back quickly! The python is almost in front of you!"
Jian Zhizhen only snapped out of her daze when she heard the shout.
She turned to look at Xu Qiuyuan, forced a smile and comforted her, "It's okay, that snake was made of sugar, I could smell it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yubai slowly walked out of the darkness.
He was also carrying a sugar jar, which was almost empty.
The guests looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Jian Zhizhen was in no mood to explain to them; all her thoughts were on Lin Yi.
Moreover, everyone is still in shock, so if we were to leave it there and insist on explaining it again, that would just be showing off.
However, many viewers, upon seeing the candy in Qin Yubai's hand, have already guessed the reason.
They took turns explaining the science to the other audience members:
[I get it! So Qin Yubai took all those things out of the kitchen to burn the Pharaoh's Serpent!]
This is a famous chemistry experiment. A mixture of baking soda and granulated sugar in a 1:4 ratio is poured onto sand, and some ethanol is added for combustion. When ignited, the sugar carbonizes, and the carbon dioxide released during heating pushes the carbonized sugar out, making it look remarkably like a wriggling snake. Even during the day, let alone at night when you can only see the shadow, that "snake" looks remarkably like a real python. Baking soda, ethanol, and sugar are all common kitchen ingredients. If you're interested, try it outdoors; just remember, don't try it at home.
Why can't we try it at home?
Your mom will beat you.
[Yes, yes, yes! I just learned it yesterday. It's a very simple experiment, and a small dollop of sugar can produce a large snake. Qin Yubai used such a big jar, no wonder it formed such a terrifying python!]
I love guys like Qin Yubai who calmly and thoughtfully solve problems! I also love guys like Director Lin who are decisive and ruthless!
Wow, I'm totally shipping them! Today, Zhenzhen and Baibai used carbon dioxide as the core material to protect everyone! They're so in sync!
Turning a dating reality show into an educational program is a first for this show.
But amidst the praise, there were occasionally a few sarcastic remarks:
[These are all facts from nine years of compulsory education, what's the point of promoting a "top student" persona? Will I be able to do that too?]
However, these criticisms were quickly refuted:
Although these are all well-known facts, being able to recall and skillfully apply them in a short time is still quite impressive.
If it were me, I would definitely panic. I wouldn't be able to think of anything even if all this information were placed in front of me.
Besides, Jian Zhizhen isn't just good at dry ice bombs; she can also make all sorts of handmade inventions. Qin Yubai isn't just good at making sugar either; he just hasn't had the chance to demonstrate quantum entanglement yet.
[I would never have let my child watch a dating reality show, but I watched it with him now. We just finished watching the live stream, and I made him write the chemical equation for the Pharaoh's Serpent before I allowed him to watch the rest.]
[Yes, yes, yes! My child has posters of Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen on their walls in their room. They are truly excellent role models!]
[Hehe, I'm just a middle school student. I learned a lot from watching this program, and I even learned some things I haven't formally learned yet. I like Qin Yubai the most, and I want to study hard so that I can become a scientist like him when I grow up.]
The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with accounts that clearly belonged to the children's parents, such as "Xuanxuan's Dad," "Lingling's Grandma," and "Minmin's Mom."
...
Inside Apple headquarters.
Qiao Peishi, the program director, was watching the live broadcast with excitement as the data continued to soar.
In the variety show industry, there is a highly prestigious award – the Dragon Award.
This award requires not only high program popularity, but also positive values and valuable content.
Previously, "Love Across Worlds" mainly focused on various little tricks to fall in love. Although it was sweet and interesting, it didn't have much to offer in terms of value.
So despite being popular for so many years, he has never won an award.
This time, there's a chance!
If she wins the award, she will definitely repay the two academically gifted guests invited to the show!
Qin Yubai... scientists are out of the question; they can't compete with the country for talent.
But we can still try to win over Jian Zhizhen!
Either dig up Apple or start a long-term, in-depth partnership with Kumquat!
...
On the guests' side.
Lin Yi waited until the sounds of the vultures completely disappeared and the surrounding environment became safe for the time being before he threw away the stick in his hand.
Jian Zhizhen stood behind him, waiting for him to turn around.
When Qin Yubai passed by, he intended to call out to Jian Zhizhen.
But the words caught in his throat.
She's been in contact with Lin Yi for so long... she should make a breakthrough tonight.
He turned around, went back into the villa, and said to the other guests, "Let's go to the living room and wait there, and talk about what happened today."
The other guests nodded and went inside with Qin Yubai, leaving Jian Zhizhen and Lin Yi outside.
Lin Yi turned around and met Jian Zhizhen's gaze.
But his gaze was very cold, as if... he didn't know her at all, and was extremely wary of her.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then Lin Yi said nothing, looked away, and strode into the villa.
Jian Zhizhen grabbed him, her voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" Lin Yi frowned slightly, asking instead of answering, "We've known each other for a while now, haven't we? You don't know who I am?"
