Chapter 33: The Thief of Time

Old...... Chen Youping!

Song Ziyu was taken aback when he heard this, and then said in awe: "Oh my God, it turns out that you are Professor Chen Youping, and you have admired you for a long time." ”

The reason why Song Ziyu didn't go to other places but painstakingly found the research institute under Nannong University was because of Chen Youping's existence.

Although Song Ziyu doesn't know anything about agricultural science and technology, Chen Youping's reputation has been heard of by himself!

This old man, who devoted his life to solving agricultural and soil problems, is recognized as the most outstanding agriculturist and soil scientist in the Republic of Yuxia.

It's just that the old man has always been low-key, and he can only see his name in the newspaper, so he can see the true face of Lushan, Song Ziyu didn't know him, and he almost had to open up, but now that he realized it, Song Ziyu secretly screamed ashamed.

When I entered the temple gate, I didn't know the Bodhisattva, and I was guilty of sin.

"You know me?" Chen Youping was a little confused by Song Ziyu's sudden enthusiasm.

Song Ziyu hurriedly explained: "I know your name in the textbook of junior high school Chinese. ”

Chen Youping was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Where, where, there is no me in the current junior high school textbooks." ”

A conversation quickly brought the relationship between the two closer, but it was a pity that Song Ziyu was a layman in agriculture, and there was no way to catch Chen Youping's words, so after the idle talk, Chen Lao directly said the right thing: "There are two kinds of soil testing, the first is periodic inspection, this process is in accordance with the traditional inspection method step by step, one by one, it takes about twenty-eight days." ”

Song Ziyu's brows twisted into a ball when he heard this, and in twenty-eight days, the daylily was cold.

"What about the second way?" Song Ziyu asked.

Chen Youping replied: "The second detection method is the agricultural rapid test, which only checks the content of the main soil elements to determine what vegetation and crops can be planted, and this detection method only takes seven days, and the test report obtained is not as comprehensive as the first detection method." ”

Song Ziyu asked, "Is there a faster way?" ”

"Is it in such a hurry?" This time it was Chen Youping's turn to frown.

"I'm in a hurry." Song Ziyu replied truthfully.

More than 1,000 people eat horses and chew, and one more day of delay will be more stressful, and Song Ziyu really can't afford to wait.

Chen Youping groaned; "There are ways, but the cost will be much higher." Chen Youping gritted his teeth and said.

"How much?" Song Ziyu asked.

"Four hundred thousand, two days!" Chen Youping said: "No one else can do it, I need to do it myself." ”

Song Ziyu gasped, is this industry so profitable?

Gritting his teeth, Song Ziyu agreed: "400,000 is 400,000, I'll come out!" ”

Song Ziyu went out and decided to spend a lot of money to find out what was wrong with the soil in the wasteland world.

At that moment, Song Ziyu handed over the soil samples and returned to the hotel to wait for the news.

At half past two in the morning, Song Ziyu was sleeping in the hotel in a daze, when the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar call, Song Ziyu hung up and continued to sleep, but the call kept coming in.

No way, Song Ziyu answered the phone: "Who?" ”

A roaring voice came from the other side of the phone: "Bastard, why don't you answer the phone?" You come to the institute right away, right now! ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Song Ziyu was stunned!

Immediately Song Ziyu came back to his senses, this is Professor Chen Youping's voice.

Song Ziyu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put on his clothes and pants and took a taxi to the Fifth Scientific Research Institute of Nannong.

In the middle of the night, there was silence around the research institute, not even the shadow of a security guard was seen, only the laboratory was still lit.

Song Ziyu came to the laboratory and saw Chen Youping busy in front of a bunch of instruments.

"Old Chen, are you looking for me so late?" Song Ziyu asked.

At this time, Chen Lao and earlier looked like two people! I saw that his eyes were scarlet, his hair was like a chicken nest, his face was extremely unnatural, and his expression was even a little terrifying.

Chen Youping rushed over with a roar, grabbed Song Ziyu's collar, and almost roared in a roaring voice: "Soil, where did you get the soil, take me there, I want to see the scene!" ”

Song Ziyu was puzzled: "Old Chen, you should know that some things are trade secrets and cannot be said. ”

"Shit, these soils have a commercial value for fart." Chen Youping roared: "I have never seen such a polluted soil...... Where the hell is it? What exactly causes it? Young man, let me tell you, any soil polluted like this is already a danger to national public safety, once I call the police, do you know the consequences? ”

Song Ziyu was shocked, feeling that Chen Youping didn't seem to be joking, so he panicked on the spot.

"Old Chen, don't get excited, these soils are not collected in China......" Song Ziyu hurriedly explained.

"Isn't it in the country? Where's that? Chen Youping still asked.

"Don't ask, I can't talk about it...... Forget it, I'm not going to test anymore, I'll leave now and return the sample to me. Song Ziyu was scared, and some things he couldn't explain clearly.

At this time, Song Ziyu knew that he was afraid.

Once some secrets are known to outsiders, they will be arrested by the relevant departments for slicing and research.

Song Ziyu decided to run away on the spot, but Chen Youping sat on the ground and blocked the way, muttering: "You give me this soil sample unless I see the scene, otherwise I won't give up." ”

Song Ziyu couldn't help but ask: "Is this soil so terrible?" Even Old Chen, are you scared like this? ”

"Terrible? It's not terrible...... I just can't figure it out! Chen Youping's whole person seemed to be stunned.

"What the hell is the problem? Can you do that! Song Ziyu also didn't understand what could make a respected agricultural scientist so embarrassed.

"Come with me, I'll tell you!" Chen Youping got up from the ground with a grunt, and then walked straight to an experimental table.

There were several petri dishes on the experimental table, and Chen Youping pointed to one of the petri dishes and said: "This is the No. 1 sample you brought, and I have detected a large number of heavy metal elements in it, and these excessive metal elements are a reason for hindering the growth of soil vegetation." ”

"In addition, this soil specimen is a desert soil, and the saline content is extremely heavy, more severe than any saline land I have ever seen, but this is not something that makes me wonder."

As he spoke, Chen Youping pointed to another soil sample and said, "This is the No. 4 sample you provided, guess what I detected in it!" ”

Song Ziyu shook his head blankly, his lack of knowledge made him not even qualified to speak.

Chen Youping said in a calm tone: "I actually detected attenuating radioactive elements in the No. 4 sample!" ”

"What does that mean?" Song Ziyu asked with a wink.

"Little idiot, you can understand that this soil was once bombed by nuclear bombs!" Chen Youping said.

Nucleus...... Nuclear bomb?

This time, Song Ziyu was completely stunned.

Is this the secret of the soils contaminated in the wasteland world?

No wonder the wasteland world is so barren, it turned out to be a world that has been "nuclearized".

Oops, I heard that radioactive substances are harmful to the body, will I get leukemia? Can I get cancer? Will genes be destroyed?

Song Ziyu remembered the movie "Chernobyl", in which the firefighters came into contact with nuclear waste because of unprotected contact, which directly caused the whole body to rot and have no skin.

It's horrible!

Have you been given a reprieve?

Song Ziyu's whole body was petrified.

However, Chen Youping's next words gave Song Ziyu a reassurance.

"There's also a lot of soil that contains radioactive materials, after all, several major powers are conducting nuclear tests...... The content of radioactive elements in these soils is no longer enough to cause great harm to the human body. Chen Youping explained.

Song Ziyu let out a sigh of relief, it's good that he's fine.

But immediately, Chen Youping's words made Song Ziyu's hairs stand on end.

Chen Youping said with a shuddering mouth: "There is a cycle of radioactive material contamination, this cycle is called half-life, for example, Chernobyl, fifty years after the nuclear leak, because of the decay of the material, the local environment has become close to normal...... The same is true for the land here, the soil is not harmful to you because it decays long enough. ”

Speaking of which!

Chen Youping's throat seemed to be choked by someone, and he screamed: "But the artificially known radioactive material I found in the soil you gave me has an attenuation period of more than two hundred and fifty years!" ”

Then, Chen Youping kept repeating the number "two hundred and fifty years" in a trembling manner, like a repeater.

"Two hundred and fifty years, what does that mean?" Song Ziyu asked.

Chen Youping came back to his senses, and his bloodshot eyes turned slowly: "Little idiot, since that lady discovered uranium, human beings have gradually opened the devil's box, and now it has only been more than a hundred years...... Who is the thief of time? ”
