Volume 1 opens 42 Professor Ye's Harvest
"Sneez, sneeze, sneeze......" Chen Xing sneezed several times in succession.
"Who is thinking about me?" Rubbing his nose, Chen Xing thought strangely, now that his body basically has no bacteria that can invade, it can be said that it is difficult to get sick, let alone catch a cold, these sneezes are strange.
"It must be Mingyue, she's thinking about me, I really miss her, I miss her fried noodles so much. Thinking of the dinner at half past six and the unpalatable meals made by the Taiwanese chef, Chen Xing missed Mingyue more and more, and even kept his saliva and recalled Mingyue's Kyoto fried noodles.
It's been a day back on the Aristotle, and it's finally back to normal, no danger, just waiting. Everyone sat on the boat and had nothing to do, waiting for the Sri Lankan government's decision on whether to lift the danger or continue martial law, which is related to the fate of all the personnel on board in Colombo and the next work arrangement of the fisherman.
Regarding Engineer Lin's ashes, Manager Wu has already asked for the consent of his family by phone with the chairman of Taiwan, and entrusted Manager Wu to bring it back to Taiwan after finishing this work, and the matter has finally come to an end.
"I heard Luo Jingye say that tomorrow morning the Sri Lankan government will issue an announcement to give a clear answer to the international ships moored outside the wharf. I really hope that our ship will be overhauled sooner, and we may be able to go home to visit relatives, or go on vacation on shore, this group of damned Tamil Tigers, too lacking in morality, suicide and murder, and delaying our vacation, if I have the ability, I will kill a few of them to relieve my anger. The little ghost sat on the sofa in Chen Xing's room and said in a rambling voice. He didn't know that right next to him, there was already a buddy who had fulfilled his wish for him, and there were four unlucky Tiger Soul Souls, who were wandering under the tall palm trees, unable to escape.
Today, during the day, there was nothing going on the ship, everyone was bored, and the little ghost lay in Chen Xing's cabin and listened to him talk about the explosion in Colombo, the tragic situation at the National Hospital, the ancient city of Anuradapura and the scenery of the Intrepid Mountain Temple. Captain Pan also heard the relish next to him, only Ivan could not understand Huaxia, sat on the other end of the sofa, quietly read the Russian novel, occasionally took a sip of the Taiwanese beer distributed on the ship, without saying a word, everyone was used to his attitude. Captain Vasily came in the morning to see if there was anything going on, and then went to the wheelhouse to be on duty.
Only Chen Xing knew best in his heart that the fate that the seemingly calm Aristotle was about to face was so unpredictable and dazed, that it was very likely that it would be forcibly detained in a warehouse at an international dock somewhere to end his trip in the Indian Ocean.
And now, in this room, or the partner who has been to this room, has taken the initiative or subconsciously entrusted his fate and life to him, this young man who may lead everyone to create miracles.
Chen Xing felt the pressure, after all, no matter how much ability he had, he was still a 20-year-old young man after all, which could not be ignored, and neither could fate, so he could not be left without pressure.
…… …… ……
December 3, 1995, 8 p.m., Villa of the laboratory staff dormitory "Pine Bay", Okepo District, Mahe, Seychelles.
Ye Mingyue simply ate a little dinner by herself, sitting at the dining table in the dining room and thinking. Half an hour ago, she had carefully studied the deal plan and the terms of the other party left by Garcia and Renault, as well as the details of the property and yacht in the transaction. Combined with her understanding of the ambergris market during this time, Mingyue believes that the price can still be higher in theory, after all, the perfume business is a ridiculously profitable industry, and what it sells is not exactly the product itself, but luxury, vanity, its target customers are positioned in the group that is not bad for money, and the two pieces of ambergris in their hands can be called the best and the best.
Aside from its extraordinary role in the manufacture of perfumes, its uniqueness in the world can be said to be priceless for collection alone. But when it comes to getting a higher price, it's a lot more complicated. For example, if you entrust an auction house to participate in a world auction and compete with perfume companies or super-rich collectors, the price is expected to rise to between $90 million and $100 million. However, now she wants Chen Xing to leave that dangerous job and environment as soon as possible, so time is very important, and she is a 20-year-old girl, and she is not so greedy, the price bottom line in her heart is 50 million US dollars, and the current transaction plan given by Garcia and Renault has met and exceeded her expectations, Mingyue feels that it is okay.
made a decision, Mingyue didn't hesitate anymore, just reply to the French directly tomorrow, but it is still necessary to tell her father what she thinks about this transaction.
Looking at her watch, it was almost half past eight, she made a simple sandwich, took a carton of milk, and walked towards the main laboratory building.
There was no one on the 1st and 3rd floors, and everyone went back to the dormitory to rest. Mingyue took the elevator to the first floor of the basement, only the "shadow team" Qi Fei was in the open laboratory next to the elevator, he sat on the office chair near the elevator in the laboratory, and there were many Chinese domestic newspapers and magazines on the desk in front of him.
Ye Mingyue actually vaguely knew the deep background of the Pine Bay Laboratory, although Professor Ye did not tell her explicitly, but the extremely smart Mingyue had already discovered something unusual about the working environment. The three-storey building on the ground is like a furnishing, the first floor is the reception room and the meeting room, and the second floor is the public laboratory, although the equipment is also good, but in Mingyue's eyes, it can only be second-rate, and it is enough for local students and assistants in Seychelles. Her project on the second floor is also relatively ordinary, just collecting the types of marine organisms in the Indian Ocean and compiling and classifying them to provide materials for Professor Yip's superficial research project "The Special Role of Deoxyribonucleic Acid in Marine Organisms in Human Cell Mutation".
However, this kind of work content can be operated in China, and there is no need to go to an African island country thousands of miles away and work hard to build another laboratory. As for the private laboratory on the third floor, Professor Ye is only engaged in DNA extraction and modeling of ordinary Indian Ocean organisms, and does not break down the independent application topics to relevant researchers. This procrastination is not characteristic of the father, unless it is intentional.
As for the underground laboratory, Ye Mingyue had only been to the basement floor, and this was still with the special authorization of his father. In the entire Pine Bay Laboratory, except for his father and his special assistants Qi Fei and Yu Xiang, only Mingyue has the elevator card to the underground laboratory, and he can only reach the negative floor. As for the negative second and third floors, except for my father, Qi Fei and Yu Xiang, only the workers who built the laboratory have been there, and those professional workers are particularly disciplined, all of them are from China.
The elevator is the only entrance and exit to the underground, and the elevator card must be used for identification up and down. The security staircase is set up with an electronic door with a more cumbersome security function, fingerprints, passwords, and identification cards, all of which are indispensable, and basically no one has ever opened them.
Thinking about the laboratory employment contract signed with Kyoto University before leaving Huaxia, the confidentiality regulations highlighted in it, combined with the various circumstances of the laboratory, Mingyue realized more about what she experienced, so during the six months she came to Seychelles, as long as she had contact with outsiders, including Chen Xing, Mingyue only talked about the collection and sorting of marine organisms for her work, and knew nothing else. Qi Fei and Yu Xiang secretly observed for a long time, and they were very satisfied with Mingyue's performance, so they had the authorization for her to enter and exit the negative floor.
Seeing Ye Mingyue get off the elevator, Qi Fei said, "Mingyue, haven't you rested so late?"
"I'm here to bring some supper to my father, he always goes to bed late for ten days or so, and sometimes he forgets to eat, which worries me too much. Mingyue pretended to be old-fashioned and joked with Qi Fei.
"Then let me inform Professor Ye that he is in the laboratory on the second floor, and I dare to disturb him only when you come, otherwise I will be scolded. Qi Fei said with a smile.
He and Yu Xiang both like this smart, sensible and well-behaved little sister, as long as they don't violate the confidentiality regulations, they take good care of Mingyue.
After receiving Qi Fei's internal call, Professor Ye immediately went up to the first floor, saw the sandwich in Mingyue's hand, grabbed it, and said indistinctly while eating it: "But I'm starving to death, it's better to be my baby girl, I know how to send dinner to my father." Qi Fei, who was next to him, rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "My ancestor, we want to send you supper, but as soon as I interrupt your train of thought, I will be scolded by you, who dares to squeak again." ”
Mingyue took a disposable paper cup next to the water dispenser by the wall, poured a glass of milk for her father, and said when she handed it to him: "You, if it's always like this, then you have to bring my mother here, or no one can control it." ”
Professor Ye smiled, continued to stuff the sandwich into his mouth, drank the milk and went down, and after eating three or two bites, he touched the corners of his mouth with the cuffs of his white coat and burped comfortably.
After a pause, Professor Ye threw the paper cup in his hand into the trash can and said: "Today's results are good, and there will be an important result tomorrow. ”
When Mingyue and Qi Fei heard this, they were very excited, it seemed that Professor Ye had finally gained something after more than half a month of hard work.
Looking at his watch, Professor Ye continued: "It's almost nine o'clock, then let's be here today, Mingyue, let's go back to the dormitory." Xiaofei, you lock the doors and windows of the laboratory, and after the inspection, go back to rest early, let's go first. ”
