Upon hearing the words uttered by Xiao Yifei, the researchers in the laboratory dared not cheer, only unconsciously letting out an incredulous sharp intake of breath.
For them, it all seemed too incredible to believe.
Although Xiao Yifei had been assuring them that they would eventually overcome this difficulty and succeed with the project, the research team had also been encouraging themselves in the same way.
But consider how much energy they had expended, not to mention the enormous amount of time. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel•fire.net
They had been waiting for this moment, but now, as Xiao Yifei spoke those words, they found themselves still utterly incapable of belief.
"Xiao kid... are you... are you certain?"
Nangong stared blankly at Xiao Yifei, his body beginning to tremble as he’d gone through a series of hardships, to the point where he had even considered giving up everything. If it wasn’t for Xiao Yifei’s presence, he might have decided to stop after this morning’s events.
After all, their research team was now facing not only project-related difficulties but also internal and external problems from the Japanese delegation and the Sanitation Tribunal.
Nangong was truly struggling to persevere.
But who would have thought, on Nangong’s most devastating day, news of an astounding breakthrough would descend from the skies and land right before him, leaving him momentarily in disbelief.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem."
Xiao Yifei looked at Nangong and nodded with a smile.
Although they hadn’t yet put it into practice, Xiao Yifei’s reasoning, as well as his investigation using energy and consciousness, had all but confirmed that the substance he had just discovered wouldn’t pose any problems. After all, the molecules that made up this substance were not harmful to the human body.
The task before them now was simply to conduct the final experiment.
Nevertheless, Xiao Yifei felt that he could positive news with the institute’s research team in advance.
"What are you still standing there for? Get moving! Don’t you see that Xiao kid has made a breakthrough in the critical part? Have you completed the tasks assigned to you?"
Hearing Xiao Yifei’s affirmative words, a flicker of ecstasy crossed Nangong’s eyes. He turned and excitedly addressed the other members of the research team with his head held high.
As he spoke, he whirled back abruptly, ready to start his own work.
Forget what Nangong had said about wanting to give up, the truth was, at this moment, his body was filled anew with boundless strength.
After all, everyone in the research team, Nangong included, held immense trust in Xiao Yifei!
However, as Nangong turned to leave, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but awkwardly reach up to touch his nose.
"Uh... Professor Nangong."
He watched Nangong’s retreating figure and then called out, "You don’t have to... don’t need to do that."
Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Nangong turned around, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Xiao Yifei.
"When I said ’complete,’ I didn’t mean the critical part was complete. Rather, I seem to have accidentally extracted the complete essence of the substance we needed just now."
Xiao Yifei looked at Nangong somewhat sheepishly and said with a smile, "So, you really don’t have to do anything else. I’ll give you the materials list, you just need to handle the synthesis and the final experiment."
After Xiao Yifei finished speaking, the entire research lab suddenly fell into dead silence.
The test tube Luo Di had just picked up fell to the ground and shattered, having dropped the moment he heard Xiao Yifei utter those words.
They knew Xiao Yifei was very impressive, far from ordinary, but they had never imagined that Xiao Yifei could be this extraordinary!
Was all this real or fake?
Or were they actually living in a dream?
It wasn’t just the other researchers in the lab; even Liu Shengchuan, who was standing next to Xiao Yifei, trembled violently when he heard Xiao Yifei’s words. His eyes widened, staring intently at Xiao Yifei.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Truth be told, upon hearing what Xiao Yifei had said, Liu Shengchuan nearly plopped down on the ground in shock, since he couldn’t have anticipated this situation at all.
In his mind, the boastful Xiao Yi, who had just gone to the washroom and then returned to place an inactive reagent into the analyzer, had now come up with results? How could that be possible, Liu Shengchuan thought, no matter how he considered it, not even if Xiao Yifei was a descended deity—it was simply not within the realms of possibility!
But now, standing behind, Liu Shengchuan watched Xiao Yifei’s demeanor and listened to his tone of speech, his heart filled with uncertain amazement. Despite the prejudice the entire lab had against them due to the ulterior motives of the Japanese delegation, Liu Shengchuan couldn’t deny that the handsome young man before him was capable and wasn’t one to make empty boasts.
However, recalling Xiao Yifei’s recent actions, Liu Shengchuan was utterly bewildered. He couldn’t understand how the situation just now could lead to Xiao Yifei achieving a breakthrough in the project, and not merely overcoming the obstacle, but actually perfecting the final product!
This was something Liu Shengchuan simply couldn’t accept.
After all, not to mention the entire project, just the most challenging part that had been entrusted to Xiao Yifei was something that Liu Shengchuan knew all too well. With no way forward and not even a clue where to begin, he watched as Xiao Yifei declared that he had completed the project on his own, which was why Liu Shengchuan had such an intense reaction and was completely unwilling to believe what had happened.
And Liu Shengchuan, who had been closely observing Xiao Yifei’s actions, felt that it was impossible for Xiao Yifei to have achieved all this.
However, regardless of what Liu Shengchuan thought, Xiao Yifei still announced what he had done, and Liu Shengchuan also knew that the truth of the matter would become clear at the time of the experiment.
Most importantly, even though Liu Shengchuan was reluctant to believe it all, if the situation were indeed true, it would be a tremendous gain for the Japanese delegation!
The mission they had been gritting their teeth over could finally be accomplished.
The Japanese delegation could then travel to the United States with the results!
Therefore, after the initial disbelief, Liu Shengchuan couldn’t help but tremble slightly with excitement. But even so, he was aware of the unfriendly views the research group held toward them.
So when he saw this outcome unfold, he recoiled, keeping quiet, well aware that it was time to keep a low profile.
Liu Shengchuan’s behavior had its effect; amidst the excitement, the rest of the research teams in the lab completely overlooked his presence.
"Here are the components, try to synthesize them first."
