Chapter 12: McGee's Concern
After making a promise, the matter of Brianna was finally resolved, and Ye Qiu agreed with Braanna that after school today, he would definitely teach Brianna how to make mercury recylate.
Finally settled the matter, Ye Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but thinking that he would have to go to Mrs. McGee in a while, Ye Qiu's head couldn't help but grow again. Some things can't be escaped, Ye Qiu sighed helplessly, packed up his things, and came to Mrs. McGee's exclusive office on the top floor of the school.
Although Mrs. McGee is usually very low-key, the chemistry teacher who is less than forty years old can be called a business card of Dodgerton Middle School to the outside world. A Ph.D. from Columbia University's School of Chemistry, I even heard that he has real projects with many research institutes in the United States.
Originally, such an outstanding talent should have served in the chemistry laboratory of a national or famous university, but I don't know why he chose a rural school like Dodgeton Middle School, but in Mrs. McGee's explanation, he returned to his alma mater to contribute, after all, Mrs. McGee's high school was spent at Dodgerton Middle School.
As such a hot star teacher, the school naturally gave her the highest treatment that could be achieved for her arrival, such as free class time, an independent office, the school's chemistry room at any time, and even participated in the school council to influence the school's administration.
Therefore, on the highest floor of the Dodgerton Middle School building, there are only two offices in total, one belongs to the principal, and the other is Mrs. McGee's office.
I guess I was the first student to enter this office, after all, as the top of the pyramid of Dodgerton Middle School, ordinary students do not have the opportunity to enter this mysterious place.
Taking a deep breath, his mind once again recalled the expected words, Ye Qiu stood outside the black-brown wooden door, hesitated again and again, and finally knocked lightly on the wooden door.
"Hello, Mrs. McGee, I'm your student, Cho Logan."
"Oh, Autumn, please come in."
Mrs. McGee's voice came out of the house, Ye Qiu pushed open the door, and when he saw the scene in the office, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Unlike what I had expected, there were no complicated chemical instruments, no display cases full of various trophies and certificates, only a large desk and two white chairs in the direction of the door, plus the Wenjiàn cabinet behind the desk, and less than a fifth of the space for placing things in the huge office.
Mrs. McGee saw Ye Qiu walk in, put the Wen Jiàn in her hand on the table, and observed with interest the big boy in front of her who had not faded into youth, and saw that Ye Qiu did not look like the other students who were uneasy and panicked when they saw her, and couldn't help but give Ye Qiu a higher evaluation in her heart, and raised her hand to signal Ye Qiu to sit on the chair opposite.
Although he was surprised, Ye Qiu sat straight on the white chair facing Mrs. McGee according to Mrs. McGee's instructions, and immediately his eyes were attracted by the things placed on the desk.
The half-opened text was naturally his own **, but next to that file, in the transparent beaker, the mercury thunder acid that he made during class was being dissolved in that beaker with a slightly milky white liquid, and fine bubbles continued to appear.
"Nitric ......"
Seeing the reaction of mercury thunderate, Ye Qiu blurted out.
Mercury thunderate, which has become a crystal, is insoluble in water, and if sulfuric acid is added, it will explode immediately, but if nitric acid is introduced, it will not be long before it can be completely dissolved, and the explosive characteristics are missing.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Mrs. McGee's eyes lit up, and she didn't expect that this student of hers was not only talented in chemistry, but also had such a keen intuition in chemistry-related reactions.
"That's right, it's nitric acid, I think you should know what it does, let's not talk about this for now, what I want to know now is that about this mercury thunderate, although it is not an unpopular in the entire field of chemistry, but at least there is no relevant knowledge in high school textbooks, how do you know."
How do I know, it's all Jack's bastard, it has nothing to do with me, Ye Qiu couldn't help but roar in his heart, but this kind of thing naturally can't be used as a reason, and can only be explained according to the reason he made up before he came.
"This is a TV show on Friday night, I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect it to succeed."
Channel 9's Friday night show? It should all be TV series, and it should only be related to chemistry that is only available on special pay channels, hearing Ye Qiu's answer, Mrs. McGee couldn't help but feel even more strange in her heart.
Seeing Mrs. McGee's hesitant expression, Ye Qiu, who was already riding a tiger, could only grit his teeth and continue to talk nonsense.
"In a police and bandit type TV series, I saw a paragraph in it about someone using this method to make a simple bomb, just with the intention of trying it, I really didn't expect that it would be this kind of result."
Completely unexpected, the seemingly honest Ye Qiu would deceive herself, Mrs. McGee believed Ye Qiu's so-called reason, and couldn't help but love this talented young man Yue in her heart.
Because of an accident, his right hand was injured, although it had no impact on his daily life, but he could no longer carry out high-intensity chemical practice, and he originally planned to return to his alma mater to "retire", but he unexpectedly appeared a student who was far more talented than himself in chemistry, which was like a gift from God, and Mrs. McGee couldn't help but feel hot in her heart.
Although Ye Qiu's chemistry class grades are not good, the so-called chemistry knowledge can be cultivated slowly, but talent is innate, Mrs. McGee believes that as long as she has her own guidance, this young student in front of her will definitely go to a field that she can't reach in the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. McGee no longer bothered with Ye Qiu's behavior before, and her tone became kind.
"What are your plans for the future, you are about to graduate, do you have any school or major you want to go to?"
Ye Qiu was at a loss for Mrs. Mackie's transformation, but seeing that the reason he had made up had been recognized, Ye Qiu was finally relieved.
"With my saT grades, if I continue to study, I may be in an ordinary college in Rochester, I am still relatively confident in my art, and I guess I will want to exhibit in this area in the future."
Art? How can that kind of boring thing be compared to great chemistry, hearing Ye Qiu's answer, Mrs. McGee frowned, absolutely not, can she let such a good seedling slip out of her hands.
"I looked at your previous grades, although they are not excellent, but they are not irretrievably bad, I don't know how much you know about Columbia University, I still have some relationship in that place."
Columbia University? This is an Ivy League school, but why did Mrs. McGee suddenly tell herself this, could it be that she would recommend herself to Columbia University?
Mrs. McGee's sudden change made Ye Qiu completely confused, and he couldn't help but be stunned there.
