Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 159 - 158: Golden Insect Eggs Stun the Crowd, and You Call This a Kindergarten Circuit Diagram?
Chen Zhiyuan was the first to rush in, a look of undisguised schadenfreude on his face.
His finger pointed straight at the rows of egg cards.
"Professor Wang, come and look quickly!"
He almost shouted, his voice full of pleasure.
"I told you she was messing around! Two days, not a single dark spot!"
"These eggs must be all dead! Rotten!"
Behind him, Professor Wang’s face was dark enough to drip water.
He pushed aside Chen Zhiyuan, who was blocking the way, and quickly walked to the shelf, picking up the magnifying glass on the table.
The greenhouse was so quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
Gu Lan and Wang Guihua stood by, even their breathing stopped.
Professor Wang raised the magnifying glass, his hand trembling slightly.
He leaned in closer to the egg card at the front.
Through the lens, the view was magnified.
There was no expected rotten decay.
Nor was there the black that represented success.
Instead, a flowing, brilliant dark golden.
Every egg was like a miniature sun sealed in amber.
Their faint pulsations were almost visible.
As if countless tiny hearts were beating vigorously inside.
"This..."
Professor Wang emitted a dry sound from his throat.
The hand holding the magnifying glass began to tremble violently.
Chen Zhiyuan, seeing him motionless for a long time, thought he was too angry to speak.
"Professor, don’t get upset."
He consoled insincerely.
"It’s not worth it with someone so whimsical."
"We should handle this rubbish quickly, so as not to..."
"Shut up!"
Professor Wang sharply turned around, shouting furiously.
His eyes didn’t hold anger or disappointment.
But a fierce glow mixed with ecstasy, shock, and incomprehension.
Chen Zhiyuan was dumbstruck by the shout.
Professor Wang ignored him.
Like handling a rare treasure, he carefully picked up the egg card, rushing to the window with the best light.
He looked repeatedly.
Mumbling continuously.
"Impossible... It’s not scientific..."
"Activity... Such activity... Exceeds the theoretical value by ten times!"
"This isn’t turning black... This is... This is evolution!"
Chen Zhiyuan was completely dumbfounded.
Evolution?
What evolution?
He leaned closer, wanting to see.
Professor Wang pushed him away, guarding the egg card like his life.
"Don’t touch it!"
He turned, staring at Lin Wan Yi.
The look was as if seeing a monster.
"Classmate Lin!"
His voice was trembling.
"What... what exactly did you do?"
Lin Wan Yi calmly stepped forward.
"I just added some trace elements that stimulate cell activity, sent from overseas, to the culture solution."
This excuse, she had thought through long ago.
"I didn’t expect such a mutation to occur."
Professor Wang didn’t digest it.
Only two words remained in his mind.
Genius!
No!
Pretend genius!
This result that overturned the entire biological control academic world, she managed with "a bit of her own deliberation"!
"Success!"
Professor Wang’s face turned red with excitement, raising the golden egg card, shouting to everyone.
"This isn’t failure! It’s a miracle!"
"An unprecedented miracle!"
Chen Zhiyuan’s face, "whoosh", turned white.
Students watching the commotion also exclaimed.
The golden eggs shone with a strange and beautiful light in the sunlight.
Moments ago, those who felt disgusted, now saw it as divine.
Chen Zhiyuan stood still, like a fool.
The mocking comments earlier were like slaps, hitting his face hard.
The pain was fiery hot.
Professor Wang suddenly remembered something, his face changed again.
"Oh no!"
He rushed to the wall, looking at the rusty temperature controller.
The pointer was wobbling unstably.
"These mutated eggs surely have extremely high environmental requirements!"
"This broken temperature controller may break anytime! If the temperature gets out of control, these treasures are ruined!"
He pranced anxiously.
"It must be fixed immediately! No! A new one! The best!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Lin Wan Yi shook her head.
"Professor, applying for new equipment now, by the time it’s approved, the vegetables will be cold."
"Also, these days are critical, I can’t leave."
It was indeed a big problem.
Professor Wang rubbed his hands anxiously.
Gu Lan, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly stepped forward.
"Sis-in-law! I’ll go!"
She patted her chest.
"Isn’t it just about fixing something? The Technology University next door has no shortage of talented people like that!"
"Give me the blueprint, I’ll find someone!"
Lin Wan Yi glanced at her and nodded.
From a pile of documents, she fished out the old equipment blueprint.
"Go ahead, be careful."
Gu Lan, holding the blueprint, dashed out like she had been given a military order.
***
Beijing City University of Technology.
Unlike the cultural atmosphere of Beijing University, here, students were everywhere wearing work uniforms, hurrying along.
The air was filled with the smell of oil and metal.
Gu Lan, a beauty from the liberal arts, stood here, looking out of place.
She clutched the blueprint, somewhat lost.
While engrossed in studying the campus map.
She didn’t notice behind her, stepping back a step.
"Clang—crash!"
A loud noise.
It seemed like she had knocked something over.
A pile of unnamed metal parts scattered all over the ground.
Gu Lan was startled.
A messy head suddenly popped up from behind the pile of "junk."
It was a male student.
His face and hands were covered in dark oil stains.
His hair was as messy as a bird’s nest.
He stared with wide eyes, as if about to devour someone.
"Are you blind?"
His voice was cold and sharp.
Gu Lan, admitting her fault, hurriedly apologized.
"I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t see it!"
She crouched down, wanting to help pick up.
"I’ll pay for it! How much?"
The boy sneered.
That sneer was full of ridicule.
"Pay? Can you afford it?"
He pointed at a coil-like object that Gu Lan had crushed.
"A 5-watt military-grade shortwave radio core oscillator, taken from scrapped equipment, you won’t find a second one in all of Beijing."
"With one step, you’ve ruined it."
Gu Lan was stunned.
As someone studying Chinese, she couldn’t understand any of this.
To her, it was just a pile of junk.
"How can you talk like that?"
She was infuriated by his attitude, her face turning red.
"Isn’t it just a pile of junk! I’ll pay you money, isn’t that enough!"
"Junk?"
The boy stood up, towering over Gu Lan with his shadow.
"Ignorant."
Two words, like ice picks.
Gu Lan’s temper flared up.
Since childhood, when had she ever been treated like this!
She slapped the blueprint she was holding onto the boy’s chest.
"You’re so impressive!"
"Take a look at this! Our Beijing University greenhouse urgently needs it! If you can fix it, I’ll pay you double for your junk!"
The boy glanced disinterestedly at the blueprint.
"This?"
He didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
"Kindergarten circuit diagram."
He took the pencil tucked behind his ear and started scribbling on the blueprint.
Modifying.
Crossing things out.
Redesigning.
His hands moved quickly, the lines were precise and flowing.
Gu Lan was mesmerized.
In less than ten minutes.
He tossed the blueprint back to Gu Lan.
"Take it."
His tone was still as unpleasant as ever.
"Modify it according to this, the efficiency will increase by thirty percent, and the energy consumption will be halved."
"Don’t bother me again."
After saying that, he turned around and squatted back down to tinker with his pile of "junk."
Not even sparing Gu Lan a second glance.
Clutching the scribbled-upon blueprint, Gu Lan stomped her feet in frustration.
What kind of person is this!
She vowed never to meet this greasy "Rubbish King" again!
She stormed back to Beijing University.
As soon as she entered the greenhouse, she ran straight to Lin Wan Yi to complain.
"Sister-in-law! I’m so mad!"
"There’s a weirdo at the Technology University next door! Just like a Rubbish King! Such a terrible attitude!"
She handed over the blueprint.
"Look at what he drew for me! It’s a mess!"
Lin Wan Yi took the blueprint.
She didn’t pay much attention to Gu Lan’s complaints at first.
But when her gaze fell on the blueprint.
She was completely stunned.
Her fingers touched the ingeniously redesigned circuit diagram on the blueprint.
Those seemingly casual modifications.
They were... genius ideas.
