"Director Sun, you just need to follow my orders now. If you can't do this, I will find someone else to do it." Shen Ziqing was a little impatient. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to this idiot. He wanted to find this person quickly. He had his own suspicions about why the ore could not be smelted, and he wanted to confirm it as soon as possible. .
Xuanyuan Ruotong suddenly said: "I think it's better to forget it today. Let's take these two pieces of metal and study them. I will tell the director personally about this." Xuanyuan Ruotong winked at Shen Ziqing as he spoke.
Shen Ziqing glanced at Sun Chuanliang and stopped insisting. He thought Xuanyuan Ruotong must have something to say to him, but it was not convenient here.
When the two people left, they took away the two ores that Shen Ziqing had touched. When Sun Chuanliang watched Shen Ziqing put the two pieces of ore into the bag, it was as if his wife had been snatched away. Shen Ziqing smiled secretly, and his impression of Sun Chuanliang changed a lot. This person may not know anything about business. He is a brainless person, but he is a qualified scientific worker.
After the two of them left the research institute, before Shen Ziqing could ask Xuanyuan Ruotong why he winked at him just now, Xuanyuan Ruotong asked, "Have you found a way to smelt this metal?"
Shen Ziqing couldn't help but sigh: "I can't hide anything from you, but I'm not sure. Do you remember that when we explored this kind of mine, I went to the bottom of the sea first before you."
"Yes, I remember." Xuanyuan Ruotong replied.
"Those ores that can be smelted are all of low purity. This kind of ore was mined by me when I arrived at that place first. And the higher purity ore was mined by us after we went down to the seabed and found another place. of."
"Although these two kinds of ore are mined from two places, they are very close to each other. There should not be any difference. There is no difference between smelting and unsmelting mines just because they are collected from different places. "Xuanyuan Ruotong has naturally thought of this a long time ago. He looked at Shen Ziqing steadily: "The only explanation I can think of is that you had an impact on this ore."
Shen Ziqing nodded: "My guess is the same. Those ores with low purity were dug out by me with my sword. At that time, the energy in my body was in an excited state. When the energy was transferred to this kind of ore, I felt something strange. changes, so I was a little out of control at the time, which is the state you saw me in when I went into the sea."
Xuanyuan Ruotong's face turned red when Shen Ziqing mentioned what happened that day. He said to Shen Ziqing bitterly: "I should have let the sea water choke you to death."
Shen Ziqing deliberately touched his mouth, looking like he was having endless aftertaste.
Xuanyuan Ruotong immediately became angry: "Shen Ziqing, if you dare to mention this matter again in the future, I will cut off your mouth."
Shen Ziqing said very aggrievedly: "Miss, we kissed twice, but you forced me to do so."
Xuanyuan Ruotong said angrily: "What's wrong with forcing you? If you dare to be arrogant again, I will strip you naked in the street and rape you."
Shen Ziqing raised his hands in surrender: "Miss Xuanyuan, I'm afraid of you." With Xuanyuan Ruotong's moodiness. With her unconventional character, Shen Ziqing really didn't dare to irritate her too much, as she might really do something unreasonable. The people in the Shengong Group have abnormal abilities and have stubborn personalities that ordinary people cannot imagine.
"Have you known for a long time that whether this ore can be smelted has something to do with me?"
"I only came up with this guess after I entered the research institute and looked at the ores. After you said you wanted to look at all the ores, I became more sure." Xuanyuan Ruotong said. Holding the two ores he brought out in his hand: "If I guessed correctly, these two ores should have been activated by your energy. Do you think these two ores can be smelted now, right?"
"I can't guarantee this, I'm just guessing." Shen Ziqing said.
¡°Then have you ever thought about what kind of situation you would face if these two pieces of ore could be successfully smelted.¡±
Shen Ziqing was shocked and immediately realized that he had been a little careless during this period. In the final analysis, it was because he was too confident and a little inflated. Once he was confirmed to have the ability to smelt this kind of metal, he might lose his personal freedom. Everyone will protect themselves like national treasures. Not only that, if some people have ulterior motives, they may be imprisoned. Even if Shen Ziqing is not afraid of this, he will inevitably get into trouble.
"Thank you. I've been a little confused lately." Shen Ziqing said to Hao Yan.
Xuanyuan Ruotong smiled and said nothing more. Shen Ziqing was a smart man. He could understand some words with just a little reminder. If he said more, it would be nonsense.
Shen Ziqing thought for a while: "Now, let's find a place firstLet's see if we can smelt this metal. "This is the issue that the two of them need to know clearly now. If this metal still cannot be smelted, then the previous caution is just a mirror. But it is not easy to find an undisturbed and unobtrusive place to experiment.
Xuanyuan Ruotong looked at Shen Ziqing's frown and understood that Shen Ziqing was worried about finding a place to conduct experiments. He pouted at Shen Ziqing and said: "There is really something wrong with your mind. You have forgotten what I do. I have a small room of my own." Laboratory, morning, go to my place."
Shen Ziqing reached out and snapped his fingers.
¡¡
Xuanyuan Ruotong's laboratory is not far from the Shengong Group's residence, and is also very close to the research institute. It was an old-fashioned small villa located at the foot of the West Mountain. It looked unremarkable on the outside. But this low-key appearance is only low-key on the outside. Once inside, Shen Ziqing immediately felt the exquisiteness inside, and every decoration was meticulous to the extreme, even a wall tile.
However, the decoration here made Shen Ziqing a little speechless, feeling like he had entered a kindergarten.
A pink path winds through a neatly manicured lawn. Behind the lawn is a very wide open space, paved with bright yellow tiles. There are various children's toys placed on the open space, such as seesaws, slides, wooden horses
"Are you running a kindergarten?" Shen Ziqing smiled.
"I didn't have the chance to play with these things when I was a kid. I always thought that when I grow up, I would buy a playground of my own. Then I would play every day. After acquiring this prospecting ability, I was not short of money, so I bought a place like this. It's a kind of psychological compensation." Xuanyuan Ruotong looked at the pile of toys on the ground, the expression on her face was neither happy nor sad, but Shen Ziqing still heard something desolate and lonely in her voice.
Shen Ziqing reached out and patted Xuanyuan Ruotong's shoulder.
The two of them turned a corner and entered a basement from the back of the villa.
The basement and the yard are two different worlds. If the yard is full of childishness, then here there are only steel and bottles. Xuanyuan Ruotong brought over two pieces of Shen Ziqing's ore: "When I got this kind of ore, I did many experiments in my small house, but I failed to refine this metal. I thought it was because my level was not good enough. . It¡¯s just a dabbler. The people at the institute should have a better way. Unexpectedly, in the end, this ore has come full circle. The final problem still has to be solved in my small room. Is this God¡¯s will?¡±
"I don't know if it can be smelted yet." Shen Ziqing was a little hopeful, even a little nervous: "If this metal is successfully smelted here, I think maybe the entire history of mankind will remember this small room. Maybe you here I thought it would become a tourist destination and people would call it the mother of minerals."
"Bah, it sounds so ugly, what kind of mother of minerals." Xuanyuan Ruotong was amused by Shen Ziqing's teasing. The originally somewhat lonely expression became much more vivid. Open up that special, tiny furnace and put this metal in it. Start heating.
While the ore was heating, the two began to chat. Shen Ziqing looked at the entire small laboratory, which had two rooms. He said that the small laboratory was only for professional scientific research laboratories. In fact, the total area of ??Xuanyuan Ruotong's entire room was not small, covering more than 150 square meters. meters, seems a bit empty.
Shen Ziqing looked at this place and felt deserted: "Do you usually stay here?"
"If I am bored here, I will suffocate myself to death and I will go crazy." Xuanyuan Ruotong said: "I will only stay here for a few days when I am mining the ore. In fact, I don't even have a home. Reply. It¡¯s too quiet. Staying here will make people crazy. I actually like the feeling of searching for ores in the mountains. Even if I sleep on the same roof alone, I won¡¯t feel lonely. However, if I live in a house, I will feel empty. Don¡¯t panic, have you ever experienced the feeling that there is no sound around you and the tinnitus is like thunder?¡±
"I have. I used to be extremely poor. The place I rented was a small dark room with only one bed. It didn't even have electricity. At night, I probably felt the same as you."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling close to each other. For a while, the topic started to change. It was all-encompassing. If I wanted to talk about my experiences, Xuanyuan Ruotong had traveled all over the world. He had climbed Mount Everest, and she had also been to the cannibal tribe. Her experience was far richer than that of Shen Ziqing. It was surprising. Shen Ziqing listened with great interest. While waiting for the results, the two of them did not feel anxious.
It was not until the smelting furnace sounded a warning sound that the two of them stopped chatting. They stared at each other, and finally stopped at the small smelting furnace.
Xuanyuan Ruotong quickly cut off the power: "You will know the result after cooling." As he said that, he connected a water pipe to the cooling tower. Wait until the furnace temperature finally drops to normalAt some point, Xuanyuan Ruotong took out the tong pot from under the stove, and saw a thin piece of black metal lying quietly at the bottom of the pot.
After cooling down, Xuanyuan Ruotong took off the piece of black metal, held it in his hand, and said to Shen Ziqing: "You are a national treasure now."
Shen Ziqing remained silent. He took the piece of metal and kept looking through it. He saw that the piece of metal was bright and clean, but the blackness was still inferior to the one he got from Jade Luode before. It was a little gray. But the quality is much higher than the one extracted from the research institute.
"If you can make some adjustments, I think you will be able to refine this metal with higher purity." Xuanyuan Ruotong said.
"It seems that we have encountered a trouble." Shen Ziqing frowned again.
Xuanyuan Ruotong heard Shen Ziqing use the word "we" and obviously tied herself to him on the same rope. This expression undoubtedly meant that she did not treat herself as a stranger. She couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, but this happiness only lasted for a while. She immediately became worried about Shen Ziqing and didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Refining this metal is undoubtedly a top priority, but Shen Ziqing will never want to be tied up to do such a thing. Although this won't take long, the trouble behind it is self-evident, and Shen Ziqing will nakedly expose his secrets to the sun. But this metal has to be smelted. Not only must it be smelted, but it must be smelted quickly. Only by using this metal quickly can China have a chance of winning when it confronts foreign forces. Although Shen Ziqing has concerns, if he can't find a proper way at this time, he will still brave the wind and smelt the ore, even if it means making his secret known to the public.
Deep down, Shen Ziqing is a passionate person.
"Why don't you pass this secret on to me and say that I can make the smelting of this ore successful? Anyway, there are people watching me everywhere now and I can't go anywhere. Plus, it's not a big deal." Xuanyuan Ruotong concealed it. Don't care about authenticity.
Shen Ziqing was silent, but Xuanyuan Ruotong said again: "Listen to my idea first, see if it makes sense, and then make a decision. Think about it, I am the discoverer of this kind of ore, I solved this kind of ore The smelting is a matter of course, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it. You and I admit this."
Shen Ziqing nodded.
"Moreover, I have discovered this kind of ore now. In order to keep this secret from being discovered, I will be restricted wherever I go. To put it bluntly, those people are protecting me, but they are not paying attention to me. ***These beasts have nothing to do but a lot of tricks." Xuanyuan Ruotong became angry when he said this, but there was nothing he could do about it. After venting his anger, he said to Shen Ziqing: "Do you admit it or not, even if I add the name of being able to smelt this kind of ore, I am just a few more so-called protective people around me, and the others have no influence on me. any impact."
Shen Ziqing said: "This is not a reason"
Just in the middle of what he said, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Ruotong: "Listen to what I have to say. I know you don't want to owe me, but I owe you a life. You have to give me a chance to repay. And I am doing this for myself, not without conditions. After I take such a big thing on myself, you have to protect me. At the very least, you have to find a way to remove the conditions that restrict me. I asked them to cancel the payment, and I don¡¯t want to listen to those old guys hypocritically saying anything in my ears to protect me and for my own good. I want to beat them up now.¡±
"Furthermore, I know that you are soft-hearted. Even if I don't take this metal smelting matter on myself, if I ask you to find a way to lift their restrictions on me, you will do it, right? In this case, Why don't you put this matter on my head? Didn't you say that I am the mother of this kind of mineral? This kind of honor must be remembered in history. Why don't you be jealous of me and want to share some of the credit?" ( To be continued.)
