Chapter 405: Harvest in the Abandoned Laboratory
The next day, Thursday, September 6, was the first day of school at Riverside Polytechnic.
Early in the morning, Su Yuan took Su Mengyuan to eat breakfast and then took her back to school in a car, the campus was still empty in the early morning, the willows were blowing, and the air was extremely fresh. The car drove all the way to the dormitory area, and on the way, except for the freshmen who had already been trained in the playground, there were few students walking around. After a few words, Su Mengyuan got out of the car, and it was not until his back disappeared from vision that Su Yuan drove out of school.
She rendezvoused with Charlene, and then the two headed towards Haizhou City together.
According to the information obtained from the Gu family, Su Yuan knew that Panao had been rumored to build a reservoir as early as a few years ago, but for many years he had only heard his voice and not taken action, but just a few years ago, the Provincial Department of Water Resources finally approved the project of building a reservoir.
Now that the residents are ready to relocate, the construction of the reservoir has also begun, but fortunately, the construction of the reservoir is carried out in stages, which leaves Su Yuan and her opportunity to enter the reservoir construction site.
On the way, Su Yuan told Xia Linfang about what happened last night, which can be regarded as clarifying the doubts in Xia Linfang's heart about the lack of thirteen hours.
"In this way, the ability of [backtracking] should be closely related to the transformation, and only after the transformation will the [backtracking] ability be revealed, and at the same time, it seems that because of the transformation just now, the body's control of the [backtracking] is not complete enough, which may be the reason for the abnormal outbreak of the ability. ”
Su Yuan nodded lightly, speaking of which, the ability of [Backtracking] has only been out of control once. Later, as her body matured, she was in the impression that there was no longer a phenomenon of time dislocation. As Charlene said. Perhaps his transformation has brought the ability of [backtracking] to some extent, and as this new body continues to mature. The harness of this ability is also growing.
The car drove on the highway for nearly two hours, and after getting off the highway, it drove on the provincial road for about 40 minutes. The surrounding mountains became undulating, and Su Yuan drove the car on the winding mountain road, and the place to test her driving skills arrived.
"Panao is surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is a place with very beautiful scenery, in the spring the mountains are full of purple and red, it is very intoxicating, it is a pity to flood there, but there is no way. The new area needs water supply, and there is only one place nearby, Pan'ao, which is the most suitable. ”
While driving, Su Yuan made an introduction, facing the sunlight shining directly from a high place, and the surroundings had unconsciously turned into a construction site scene, dry air, blazing high temperatures, and dust everywhere! The originally flat dirt road was also crushed into potholes, and the car was constantly bumping. You also have to avoid the rock-laden earthmoving trucks that come by from time to time on the already narrow and muddy roads.
Su Yuan drove forward for a while, and had no choice but to park the car in a nearby open space that had been manually crushed. After that, there were still two or three miles to go, and the two of them had to rely on walking.
It was noon, and the sun was high. For example, the cake being baked in the oven gradually reveals its poisonous side. Su Yuan was wearing a white T-shirt and thin jeans underneath. Sunglasses, folding fans, and a bottle of herbal tea to relieve the heat. Except for not wearing sunscreen, it can be said that it is readily available, and carefully walk through the blasting and rolling boulders. The small body is constantly jumping over obstacles, and the car keys hanging behind the butt always make a tinkling sound with every step.
Half an hour later, Su Yuan came to the village where Gutou lived, and as soon as they entered the village, they saw that there were construction vehicles processing the bricks and tiles on the ruins, and some towering buildings were also rumbling and collapsing under the strength of the engineering vehicles.
Seeing this scene, Su Yuan's heart was cold, and he hurriedly called an old man and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something, where is the old man's house in Gu Shiguo?"
The old man made a special trip back to check whether there was anything missing in his house, and since he was a local, he naturally knew the house where the famous Gu Shiguo originally lived, and when he saw two beautiful girls asking him for advice, he was surprised and said enthusiastically: "You two ...... It's the granddaughter-in-law of the second cousin's family, since the second cousin went to the city, no one has been on that door for several years, this is not in time to build a reservoir, originally I was still thinking that if no one came, I would help the second cousin move the things out inside, since you came, it was just right!"
"That, you misunderstood, we are not the granddaughter-in-law of the second cousin in your mouth......" Su Yuan said with some embarrassment, she didn't expect that this question would actually ask a relative of the old head. However, it is a little relieved to think that most of the villages where the ancient head is located have the surname Gu, and they are related to the family. Most of the titles of this "second cousin" are relatives who have turned several corners.
"Oh, it's not the granddaughter-in-law, the two daughters, you ......" The old man's dark skin bloomed with a simple smile, but he looked at Su Yuan and Xia Linfeng with some surprise.
"That's right, the two of us are from Shanghai, we are students of East China University of Science and Technology, and the main reason for our professor to come here today is to let us do something......" Xia Lin had an idea, and immediately thought of an identity for herself.
"Oh, college student!" The old man looked at Su Yuan's good appearance and happily accepted their identity settings. When I heard that they were some professors from East China University of Technology, I said with regret: "So you came to find the second cousin this time, but it's unfortunate, the second cousin went to the city a few years ago, and I heard that the spirit is not very good, and the whole person is confused......
Su Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not the case, we don't look for the old man of Gu Shiguo himself, we just need to get some things." ”
Charlene stood up and said, "Uncle, that's the case. The old man of Gu Shiguo originally served as a professor in East China Institute of Chemical Technology in Shanghai, and also presided over many scientific research projects, the East China Institute of Chemical Technology is the predecessor of the current East China University of Science and Technology, our professor used to cooperate with the old man of Gu Shiguo, and then the old man of Gu Shiguo retired and resigned, some scientific research on the research has not been interrupted, and some equipment is still in the home of the old man of Gu Shiguo, which is not a big deal. But when I heard that there was going to be a reservoir here, it was hard to let those equipment soak in the water......
"You're here to move the machines. The old man suddenly realized. "It's great that you've come here to move that, I look pretty expensive about those machines. It's a shame that no one has been cooking for more than ten years, you know...... We countrymen don't understand the purpose of those machines, and we heard a few middle school children say that they will be infected by the virus of Rausch, so we are so scared that we only dare to move some sofas and other furniture......"
"Several children of the second cousin's family have also made a fortune, and of course they don't care about these things that have been used for decades. I was still wondering if I should report the situation here to the Public Security Bureau, and you wondered, since there was going to be a reservoir here, would my second cousin's machine dirty the water? This is for people to drink, if there is really some kind of virus. Isn't it a sin yet?"
Su Yuan and Xia Linfang looked at each other when they heard this, and they all felt funny, the laboratories of the ancient head family had been empty for more than ten years, and they were afraid that if there was really any virus, it would have already been wiped out. However, although the old man's understanding was ignorant, he gave them a very good reason.
Under the leadership of the old man, they soon found the home of the old head.
It was a courtyard on the hill, with a dry well, a millstone for milling, and a few fruit trees growing on the side. It's a pity that I neglected to cook for a long time, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and I was worried about whether a poisonous snake would come out when I stepped on it.
The house is old because there is no popularity. As soon as you enter the inside, you can smell a smell of decay and decay. With some effort, the two of them finally found a warehouse in the backyard and knocked on the rusty door lock with a sledgehammer they picked up. The two entered and found that this was the laboratory they were looking for.
Gu Shiguo is worthy of being the Taishan Beidou in the field of biology. Leisure at home also made a difference. I saw that the warehouse was divided into small rooms with aluminum plywood, and Su Yuanhui knew the purpose of these rooms with a glance. There are molecular laboratories, electrophoresis laboratories, sterile laboratories, liquid chromatography laboratories, cell culture rooms, cryogenic rooms, mass spectrometry rooms, and so on.
"The sparrows are small. All kinds of organs!" Su Yuan sighed heartily after entering inside.
When the two came to the cell culture room, they saw several animal cell culture incubators arranged in sequence, and when they opened them, they saw that there were many petri dishes placed inside, to their surprise, more than half of these petri dishes were damaged, and some were even hollowed out from the bottom, as if a piece had been cut off.
Then I visited various laboratories and found that they had not been used for more than ten years, and the entire laboratory had been in a state of obsolescence, and various instruments were not dusty, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to run again even if they were carefully scrubbed. Moreover, all kinds of organic raw materials, salts, reagents, serums, etc. in it have expired, especially the barrel full of protein powder and yeast powder, as soon as the lid is lifted, it emits a rotten and pungent smell, which makes Su Yuan's delicate little face wrinkle suddenly, and he sneezes several times in succession.
The two of them walked around and had to accept a cruel reality, "It seems that it is impossible to get the finished product or experimental cells in the laboratory." "There is one in the cryogenic room, but the contents are already rotten, and there is also a refrigerator at minus 80 degrees, but the bacteria stored inside have also died.
In other words, the two people didn't get anything out of the props of the experiment.
Snapped, Su Yuan opened a drawer, took out a few small books inside and looked at them, and shook his head after a while: "These drawers are filled with some irrelevant literature, it seems that even if the old man is old, he still cares about the most cutting-edge technology in the world." ”
Of course, these so-called cutting-edge technologies are no longer cutting-edge in the eyes of Su Yuan and Xia Linfeng, many of which have been written into teaching textbooks, and most biology students will more or less master some.
Just when the two of them were disappointed, they found an iron box under a table, Su Yuan went in and moved it out with great difficulty, and sighed, feeling that it weighed fifty or sixty catties! The iron box was not locked, and when he opened it, a look of surprise couldn't help but climb up his face.
"Wow......"
Su Yuan let out an exclamation.
What caught my eye was a sky-blue notebook of experimental records, a paper about a finger thick, A4 sheets, stacked on top of each other, like a hill of brickwork, there were hundreds of copies.
The most quintessential thing of an experiment lies not in the experimental instruments, the raw materials of the experiment, or even the finished product of the experiment, but in the recorded data of the experiment! It can be said that an experiment without a record is of no value in itself, and with a record, even if all the equipment involved in the experiment is destroyed, it is still a successful experiment. Because the experiment itself lies in exploration and verification, it is the process, and what we need is the result of the experiment!
casually spread out an experimental record book, and Su Yuan was stunned by the detailed experimental procedures, experimental ideas, and analysis of the reasons for the failure of the experiment.
She glanced at it a few times and confirmed that this was what they wanted, then she carefully put the notebook back into the tin box, and then together with the tin box, the two of them slowly moved out of the laboratory with fifty or sixty pounds of things. (To be continued......)
