Chapter 346: Ingredients
"Deception?"
After Ye Ren saw Floda's attitude, he couldn't help but tilt his head: "If you think it's a waste of time, Mr. Floda, I can give you a small piece of ambergris for free, and then you go back and find the most authoritative organization to test it." ā
"But of course, I refuse to trade with you again. ā
"It seems that you are very confident. Floda didn't seem to have the slightest intention of bowing her head, and stared at Ye Ren and said: "But the fact is that I have purchased ambergris for so many years, and I have never seen it sink into water, because that kind of waxy structure is simply heavier than water, so if you want to use something else to deceive me, I advise you to give up this plan, because the consequences of deceiving us are something you absolutely do not want to see." ā
"Huh. ā
Regarding Floda's attitude, Ye Ren didn't even bother to say anything this time, smiled directly, then shook his head and turned to Turce and said, "Mr. Tours, you can think about it." ā
"Dear Mr. Night, I would like to... I may need professional testing and qualification before I can make a decision. ā
Turce said a little awkwardly,
"Absolutely, but I would like to remind Mr. Tours that my time is just as valuable. Ye Ren said here, nonsense, after selling this, I have to hurry back to do other things, just those necessary equipment on the black market, as well as those necessities and appropriate building materials needed to renovate the underground base are enough for my own headache, not to mention that Leviathan is already returning home, and it won't be long before I start researching Shimmer Mushrooms with Dai Lin.
After these things are taken care of. It is estimated that it is almost the time to get on the Lingyun, so Ye Ren thought about it carefully. I really didn't have much time to find out.
"Professor Causta is an expert in sperm whales, even though we didn't bring much equipment with us in a hurry. But just give him a little time, and soon these will identify the quality of these ambergris. ā
Tours nodded in understanding, and at the same time did not forget to praise JƬ, "But the smell and quality of these ambergris are really the best I've ever seen." ā
"Of course, the premise must be that these ambergris are real. ā
Floda interjected very annoyingly, but Ye Ren ignored him at all, but after a short silence, he continued to speak to Turce: "Since you need to appraise it, then you can go to it, I have no opinion." ā
"It's really nice that Mr. Night can understand us. ā
Turce heard Ye Ren nod. He said gratefully, then turned to Professor Causta and said, "Professor, please take some samples for testing." ā
"Good. ā
Professor Causta didn't seem very good at words, and only answered when Tours called him, and walked to the cargo door, took on a pair of rubber gloves, and picked out a few pieces of ambergris the size of a fingernail and packed them in small plastic bags. I was going to turn around and go back.
But at this moment, Floda raised his hand and suddenly stopped Professor Causta.
"Professor, wait a minute. I'll pick a few more pieces for you. Floda said a word, then jumped straight into the carriage and casually kicked away a few of the more obstructive ambergris in her leather shoes. Then he took out a pair of white gloves from his bosom and walked towards the cargo compartment while putting them on. Remove a few large pieces of ambergris in a very small place, and then break off some small pieces from above. Brought out.
"Floda, we shouldn't be like this, it seems that we don't trust Mr. Night too much. ā
After seeing Floda's actions, even Tours began to feel that he seemed to have gone too far, and this kind of test would be carried out later, but he was so rude when he first took the sample, and he kicked the other party's goods with his feet, which was indeed a bit unreasonable.
"I'm just taking a responsible approach to this deal, Tours. In the face of the other party's doubts, Floda actually explained it naturally, as if he had done it very correctly.
"But..."
Turce still seemed to feel a little bad and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Ye Ren patted him on the shoulder.
"It's okay, whatever he wants. Ye Ren smiled and said to Tours.
"Professor Causta, you can already conduct preliminary tests. ā
Floda also ignored Ye Ren, but spoke to Professor Causta to give orders, and at the same time handed over the sample collected in his hand.
"Oh... Good. ā
Professor Causta tugged on his glasses, then silently took the pieces of ambergris and walked towards the back of the car.
From the trunk of the car, Professor Causta cooperated with the two bodyguards to take out a few instruments, Ye Ren did not fully understand, but with the memory of Vegila and 02 real yĆ n bodies, he was still able to understand the functions of several instruments, such as some portable instruments for analyzing waxy structures and chemical compositions, and of course, there was also an electronic instrument for measuring the ratio of certain substances, this instrument was to be used with test tubes, so Professor Causta carefully took out some test tubes and beakers.
Of course, these things were not only taken out of the trunk of one car, but also in the trunk of another car, but they were carried by the bodyguards.
I have to say that Professor Causta is indeed worthy of his craft, or technology, after the real instrument is ready, he almost immediately began to test these samples with ease, first crushing part of the sample into powder, then adding it to the test tube, pouring some solution, and then constantly shaking the test tube to observe the color change and property change of the solution.
Of course, those instruments were also used, some solutions were dripped on the glass plate, and then a series of tests were carried out, but Ye Ren didn't know much about this stuff, so he just watched the fun.
When he tested a certain item, Professor Causta didn't know what he had found, and suddenly frowned tightly.
"Huh?"
"Professor, did you find anything?" Floda immediately noticed that something was wrong with Professor Causta, and asked with a smile.
"Indeed..."
Professor Causta didn't notice Floda's careful thoughts, but nodded subconsciously, and the whole person's brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't know what he thought, in short, the whole person seemed to have a very confused expression.
"Oh?" Ye Ren was also a little interested, although he said that he thought that these ambergris were fine, but the density did seem a little strange, so at this moment he also wanted to hear what Professor Causta said, so he said, "Professor Causta, may I ask what you found?"
"Mr. Night, may I ask where you got these... Ambergris?"
Professor Causta looked a little puzzled, and after hearing Ye Ren's question at this moment, he also asked a rhetorical question.
"It's probably a very deep sea, an undersea annular basin. Ye Ren didn't deny this, but something like the Sea Emperor Giant Squid would definitely not say it, if this kind of thing is confirmed, it will shock the entire academic community, and if Leviathan pulls a large group of Sea Emperor Giant Squid around again, it is estimated that he will be in trouble to death.
When it comes to Leviathan, Ye Ren doesn't know where this guy left that group of little Sea Emperor giant squid, and whether he can find them back.
"Is that so?"
Professor Causta nodded, as if thoughtful, and slowly explained: "This ambergris is very strange, it seems to have other strange ingredients in addition to its own ingredients, and the conclusion I came to after testing these other ingredients is... They are derived from the sperm whale itself. ā
"What?"
Turce was obviously stunned: "The sperm whale itself, what does that represent?"
However, apparently, Professor Causta did not answer him, but slowly picked up a test tube with a pale black glow, shaking it as he spoke: "Not only that, but I also found a weak acidic substance inside this ambergris, which is very strange, a bit like stomach acid... and the mixing of inks. ā
"It's as if the sperm whale has ambergris in its body, but it is swallowed whole by the king squid, which is really very strange. ā
Professor Causta frowned at the moment: "According to my speculation, the sperm whale may have eaten some unknown sea creature, because the number is scarce and it inhabits very deep seas, no one has known the existence of this creature, and the reason why ambergris has become heavier is because another strange substance has some strange reactions with ambergris itself." ā
"As plausible as it sounds, I have to believe what you say and at the same time express my admiration for you. ā
Floda gave a rare applause, but then he changed his words again, looked at Ye Ren with a pair of eyes arrogantly and proudly, and then said slowly: "Obviously, this kind of thing is not what we want, what we want is high-quality and pure ambergris, not this strange thing to be sent to the real room for testing." ā
"No..."
After hearing Floda's words, Professor Causta shook his head: "This unknown substance did not destroy the ingredients in ambergris, but after a chemical reaction, it became even more special. ā
"It seems that there are still people who know the goods here. ā
After hearing Professor Causta's remarks, Ye Ren couldn't help but slightly upturn the corners of his mouth, and when he saw Floda, who was a little blue on the side, he couldn't say how happy he was. (To be continued......)
