Chapter 157: Perfect experimental project, crisis breaks out!
Unknowingly, it was late at night.
The ancient forest looked a bit eerie in the darkness, and the roars of unknown creatures kept ringing through the night sky, startling countless birds.
Although it was a bit unsafe, Mo Ying and others couldn't care less.
The Yushan Secret Realm is a temporary secret realm, and time is very precious to them.
Huge lighting lamps were set up, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire Eternal Crystal Mine as brightly as daylight.
Soldiers with live ammunition were constantly patrolling the area, and the various sentries took turns to kill any wild beasts that dared to break into this place.
Professors from various fields at Shenhua University, under Mo Ying's targeted arrangements, led the students to get busy.
Professor Zheng Huaguo, who is rooted in the field of physical mechanics, is responsible for the construction of the alloy bracket for the energy conversion of the entire mineral vein.
Cheng Guoqiang, a master in the computer field, led Gu Xiyue and other students to write automatic programs for the mineral vein energy conversion project in an intense and orderly manner.
Fan Liang, a professor of artificial intelligence, is working with his students to assemble dozens of disposable, remote-controlled robots. These are also necessities in Mo Ying's project plan.
…
As for Mo Ying and Qi Sui, they climbed all the way to the top of the mineral vein.
Local materials were used to conduct a series of preliminary experiments such as selecting the best catalyst and measuring energy conversion process parameters.
Qi Sui kept moving his hands and asked, "Teacher, is this experiment... really possible?"
The woman's experimental idea was too wild and unrealistic, and he had no idea at all.
"have no idea!"
Mo Ying's tone was calm, her eyes carefully checked each experimental parameter, and she said calmly: "Scientific research experiments are like this. You can never predict the results in advance. It may succeed or it may fail!"
"Success is great, but failure is not meaningless. It can accumulate experience for our next experiment!"
Qi Sui nodded vigorously and said, "Well, it's best to succeed in one go!"
Immediately, he showed a smile: "If it is really successful, I should be able to publish a lot of papers. Teacher, can you give me a few more papers?"
He is not interested in things like academic reputation. What is important is the professional experience gained after publishing a paper.
[Scholars] and [Chemical Researchers] both expect these things to be upgraded!
"You kid, you are so greedy!"
Mo Yingyu waved her hands quickly and recorded another set of experimental data: "Remember it first, it's meaningless to talk about it now. It's not too late to discuss it after success!"
"Qisui, be careful, the reaction will be very violent this time, don't get burned by the high-temperature steam!"
"Okay, teacher!"
Qi Sui immediately calmed down, stopped talking, and focused all his attention on the experiment.
…
Work from night to day, and from day to night.
Over thirty hours.
Mo Ying and the others only slept for about four hours at most, except for eating and shitting time.
Mo Ying, who was originally beautiful and cool, was now disheveled and had a big oily head. She lay in the dirt without caring about her image and used a tape measure to measure the alloy bracket.
The clean and brand-new sports suit was worn dirty. It was impossible to imagine that this was a young professor from one of the top universities in the country.
"36cm, the error is within 0.01%, qualified!"
Mo Ying stood up from the quagmire, not caring about arranging her clothes, and walked deeper into the support to measure the load-bearing point on the other side.
Workaholic!
This is not only Qi Sui’s evaluation of her, but also the common thought of everyone present.
In the past two days, many professors and students would be tired and lazy for a while, but Mo Ying was like a tireless working machine.
Not only did he complete a large amount of his own experimental work, he also took the initiative to help other professors' teams.
Work the most and rest the least.
She doesn't think of herself as a woman at all, but more like an animal.
Many professors lamented: No wonder Mo Ying was awarded the title of professor at such a young age, less than thirty years old, and was hailed as the most dazzling rising star of the younger generation of Xia Guo’s scientific research. It’s no use dissatisfied!
Cheng Guoqiang couldn't help but said: "Teacher Mo, even young people who are motivated must pay attention to their health. Take a rest. There is still a lot of time!"
"Teacher Cheng, if you are tired, go and rest first. Don't worry about me. Finish the work early and start the experiment early. If it fails, we will have a chance to try again." Mo Ying said without looking back. .
Seeing her working so hard, others were too embarrassed to take a break and joined in one after another.
The final finishing touches were quickly completed.
"Very good, very good. It's almost a day ahead of schedule. Thank you for your hard work!"
Mo Ying was breathing heavily, and a happy smile finally appeared on her pretty face that had been cold.
Qi Sui looked not far away.
The originally bare Hengjing Mine has now changed drastically.
Densely packed alloy supports surround the entire mine, and there is a layer of translucent special material on the outside, covering the entire mine inside.
"Teacher Mo, let's start the experiment!" Cheng Guoqiang's voice was nervous and trembling.
As a powerful figure in the computer field, he has never done any national or world-class scientific research projects.
But when facing this experiment that can change the fate of a country, I still feel panicked, just like when I was a master's degree student and faced the announcement of the experimental results for the first time.
Mo Ying took a deep breath, her nervous fingers trembled slightly, and she managed to stay calm and said: "The first step is to create a vacuum environment for the mineral vein!"
Boom——
Outside the sealing cover of the ore vein, the huge air extraction device started to operate, and the pointer on the instrument began to move toward negative pressure at a slow speed.
A few minutes later.
Mo Ying said seriously: "Stop!"
The roaring sound of the machine then ended.
Everyone was staring at the pointer on the instrument. After confirming that there was no sign of retreat, excited cheers suddenly broke out.
"The first step was successful!"
"The mine is still under negative pressure!"
"Great, great, we can carry out follow-up experiments!"
"Old Zheng, the brackets and sealing covers built by your team are really awesome. Such a large mineral vein was sealed as soon as it was asked to be sealed. This ability is really amazing!"
"..."
Everyone had a smile on their face, but Mo Ying always had a cold face.
She knew very well that this was just the first step in the process.
"The second step is to spread the constant crystal transformation reagent!"
Dozens of remote-controlled robots sprinkled a large amount of chemical reagents prepared by Qi Sui and others on the mineral veins in a full coverage manner according to pre-set procedures.
Repeat this step three times.
Until the external detection instrument lights up green.
This means that the energy sensor buried in the innermost part of the mine was triggered by the conversion reagent.
"Very good, the reagent has completely penetrated. According to our estimates, the coverage rate has reached over 99%!" Qi Sui explained with a smile.
Mo Ying's expression remained cold as she said calmly: "The third step..."
It’s hard to pass, but it’s passed! As they walked further back, each successful step aroused louder cheers from the crowd. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, but Mo Ying did not disappoint them.
Finally, the first eleven steps of the engineering experiment were all successful!
Contrary to the excitement in the air, Mo Ying's mental pressure was at its peak at this moment.
The long-term and high-intensity work caused her to have slight tinnitus and a faint feeling of dizziness in her brain. She couldn't help but stumble back a few steps with her legs, and finally bumped into a broad and strong embrace.
"Teacher, come on, we all believe in you!" Qi Sui said seriously.
Mo Ying raised her head and glanced at the young man's resolute face. As if she had found support, she supported Qi Sui's strong waist with her palms to regain her balance and said loudly: "The twelfth step, the transformation of constant crystal energy, begins!"
boom--
boom--
Boom boom——
Violent explosions came one after another from the depths of the mine, and the ground shook slightly.
And those remote-controlled robots have also reached the final stage, turning into energy boosters and falling into the energy conversion center area, just like adding fuel to the fire. The terrifying high temperature seems to make the entire Eternal Crystal veins burn.
But since there is no air, it is not burning in the true sense.
Countless permanent crystals embedded in the mud and rock soil showed faint signs of gasification.
Will it succeed?
Everyone held their breath and stared intently at every tiny reaction change in the experimental area.
Qi Sui was also curious about whether the experiment could be successful.
Suddenly, an unpleasant, disgusting smell rushed into his nostrils.
"Um?"
Qi Sui's heart trembled, and he immediately diverted his attention away from the experiment.
When he stepped into the Yushan Secret Realm, he did not smell the fishy smell similar to that in the Qingziling Secret Realm. Instead, he smelled the freshness of forest vegetation.
It was precisely because of this that this very faint smell aroused his alertness.
"behind?"
Qi Sui suddenly turned his head and shouted a warning: "Everyone, be careful, there is something going on in the forest!"
"What's the situation? Is it dangerous?"
"How can there be danger here? There are soldiers patrolling around us all the time!"
"Where are they? Don't be crowded!"
"..."
These scientific researchers, who had never experienced the baptism of blood and fire, were like frightened birds, and were instantly frightened into a commotion.
Only ten seconds passed without any change.
There was deathly silence in the dense forest all around, and only the rustle of leaves could be heard in the wind.
A girl who had recovered from her fear was the first to ask with a cold face: "Qi Sui, what are you yelling about? The experiment is going through a critical step, why are you causing trouble?"
Seeing this, an old professor stood up to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Student Qi Sui must be too nervous. It's your first time in the secret realm, right? Just relax, it'll be okay. We have a special team patrolling nearby all day long. Really?" If there is a situation, they will sound the alarm.”
Mo Ying said nothing and looked over with a slightly doubtful look. There was no doubt in her eyes, she was just waiting for the boy's next explanation.
Of all the people present, only Gu Xiyue acted quickly.
She even used a tactical roll, and immediately rushed to her luggage, took out a large alloy bow, placed an arrow on it, and entered combat mode, looking around with vigilant eyes for any disturbance.
Qi Sui frowned and remained silent. He just stared at the darkness in the forest with cold eyes. The muscles in his body were gradually swollen with blood, and the light and shadow of his inner energy were flowing rapidly under his skin.
He smelled it, and the fishy smell was getting closer and closer, getting stronger and stronger.
At this time, the captain of the patrol team noticed the situation here.
He came over and asked: "Professors and scholars, what happened?"
The female classmate who first asked the question rushed to describe the situation.
The young captain took a look at Qi Sui's explosive muscles and did not rush to question. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "Classmate, have you noticed anything abnormal?"
"Have you ever felt that this forest area is too quiet?" Qi Sui pointed forward and spoke slowly.
Quiet?
Many smart people suddenly changed their minds.
Yes, it’s so quiet!
It's so quiet that you can't even hear the usually noisy chirping of insects, birds and beasts.
The young captain's face changed wildly, and he called loudly to the communication watch: "Qin Wei, is there anything going on over there? Qin Wei, Qin Wei, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it!"
Seeing that there was no response, the young captain immediately took off his firearm and rushed towards the forest in front: "The whole team is here, ready to fight!"
More than twenty soldiers came over at the same time, forming a semicircular battle formation to protect the teachers and students of Shenhua University behind them.
The atmosphere solidified!
The fear of the unknown spreads in everyone's mind.
Even Mo Ying, who has a strong psychological quality, was sweating on her palms. The survival instinct in her genes made her subconsciously move towards Qi Sui. It seemed that she could only feel safe by being around this man.
"Teacher, please stop running around and hide behind me!"
Qi Sui whispered an order.
He is not that powerful and cannot protect everyone in the field. He only cares about two people.
Gu Xiyue has martial arts training and has a certain ability to protect herself.
And Mo Ying is just an ordinary woman and needs his care even more.
At this moment, there was a sudden "rustling" sound in the forest, accompanied by a strange "squeaking" sound. Dark shadows swung their long arms, kept jumping on the branches, and rushed towards them.
Qi Sui's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he had already seen clearly what these things looked like.
They are apes with red hair all over their heads and sturdy bodies. Their eyes are full of chaos and bloody madness, and their bared teeth are extremely sharp.
A rough estimate suggests that there are hundreds of them.
"shot!"
The young captain gave the order.
More than twenty guns emitted flames at the same time. The bullets were made of high-density special alloys. After being shot into the body, a second explosion would occur, ensuring that the target could be completely killed.
More than a dozen apes fell down and died on the ground.
But more apes rushed over like crazy, and the distance between the two sides was less than 20 meters.
Beads of sweat broke out on the captain's forehead. He only had time to pull the trigger again to kill an ape, and several apes jumped on his face. With their claws waving, large pieces of flesh were torn off.
"The whole team fights to the death! Protect the scientists!"
He let out a shrill roar, took out a military dagger from his waist and strangled several apes together.
Most of the apes were blocked by the soldiers, but a small number tore through the defenses and rushed toward the helpless professors and students.
In an instant, screams and cries broke out.
The crowd is in chaos!
