In his sharp suit, specially-ed fifty then, looked more like a successful businessman than a scientist The silvery streaks in his hair only added to his general air of stateliness… Nevertheless, that observation ht not have been completely false His team had just invented a new type of superconductor Its patent alone could ensure Aleson a comfortable life of wealth until his death
He had just coovernment personnel Due to the success of his latest research, his request for otiate to have the few obstinate interns in his team fired He demanded that they be switched out with people that he was co with, interns that he knew he could bully into subht a lesson It is not talent but social sensitivity that will get you places in life,” h the newspaper He was en route to fetch his grandson
Then, Aleson heard the news about the fire…
He heard those words that shook his heart…
He saw his badly burnt but still breathing grandson being carried away on a stretcher…
He witnessed the school’s collapse and, with it, the firemen’s final deed…
That day, Aleson also witnessed hient in his work His teae as he replaced all the bootlickers The sole thing that reh standard…
He started nitpicking research results and lab supplies, alienating his governh standard he held himself and his team did help him finish many projects, but it also isolated hih his track record was indubitably i to ith him He had said it was he who refused to accept the invitation froovernment when they escaped Earth, but reality was, it never their intention to take hi
So it was to everyone’s surprise that such an exiled figure would selflessly volunteer to lead as essentially a suicidal experi well underway Using Ivan’s chemical formula, Hannah had concocted ten sets of potions that could be easily diluted or concentrated according to the situation Yuan Pin, with Bo Li’s aid, was preparing the alien plant say crystal into crystals of different sizes, starting froest 10 cubic ht, everybody, now that the preparations are coes The practical part of the experiment, I shall leave it in your hands,” said Aleson
Of the re four, Sileas the most senior, but the person ist, Yuan Pin His ZH hybrid rice plant was dee able to single-handedly solvesfood supply dilemma He was undoubtedly the unnamed leader for this part of the experih, his breath fogging the glass panel before him
The shuttle’s interior had been repurposed into a small laboratory In the center, an area was insulated by walls of glass panels By using erous experiment from a distance Nevertheless, this was, lass panel wouldn’t be able to provide much protection in the case of plasmatic explosion
Yuan Pin retrieved the alien plant sample from the freezer and situated it within a petri dish The moment the frozen acid around it started to thaw, the plant started squir It would take less than ten seconds for the plant to beco
Yuan Pin took over the potion that Hannah’s mechanical arm handed him It was the most diluted of all the potions Siy crystal a the mass of plant The 001 cubic millimeter crystal was so small that it was i that was happening in the isolated area was projected on a separate screen The video was, of course, appropriately nified When both crystal and acid were poured onto the plant, it stopped yration continued However, its focus had switched to consume the crystal By the side of the rooed out of their sockets froe
About ten seconds later, the crystal had co, “I’m sorry, there was no electrical response The crystal was too sy released was too small, it will be consumed by the plant itself It is not a superconductor, so it still offers a certain degree of resistance”
Everyone looked defeated, but Yuan Pin said calmly, “No worries, science is all trial and error… This time we’ll use the 002 cubic millimeters crystal Prepare me another potion, but use the saan the second experied stubbornly on Unlike the people on the Hope, the scientists on the shuttle had paid it no heed; they were too caught up in the experiment The rest of the Acade for updates However, surrounded by the nebula, they knew the updates that they were bitterly waiting for would not arrive They had to contend with one conclusive end result
They had been waiting for a full four hours Tension was high and senses were frayed A few older scientists had to excuse themselves from sheer exhaustion Yao Yuan decided to allow the scientists to rest In the end, only the Black Star Unit, Jay and a few others re experiy crystal and potion with a scale-seven dilution”
Yuan Yin’s low voice echoed through the room In the isolated room, another crystal and splash of acid were dropped onto the plant The crystal disintegrated in the blink of an eye and the plant grew slightly bigger Nevertheless, it still released no energy
