Ye Xiaochen looked up at the mouth of the well. He did not see his father, so he took out the immortal hoe from his storage space.
The immortal hoe had a flaw — it was too heavy.
In the narrow space at the bottom of the well, it was even more difficult to use it.
The advantage was that no matter how tough the rock was, it was no different from tofu under the immortal hoe. He dug it out piece by piece and put it into the dustpan.
After filling the dustpan, Ye Xiaochen was exhausted.
He tied the rope to the dustpan and called his father.
"Okay."
His father poked his head out of the well and began to pull the wooden wheel up the dustpan.
Soon, his father's voice was heard. "Chen Zi, why are there rocks? Don't tell me you're using the hoe to dig. You'll break it. "
The appearance of rocks so quickly meant that explosives were needed.
'How did my son break the rocks?'
"Dad, don't worry. It won't break."
Ye Xiaochen looked up and said.
After resting for a while, he continued digging.
Although he had the immortal hoe to help him, the speed of digging slowed down. The main reason was that the immortal hoe was too heavy, so the efficiency was greatly reduced.
Previously, he could make one hoop a day with the three hoops. However, now that he was digging up rocks, it would take him at least two or three days to complete one hoop.
.....
Central South University, in the laboratory.
Zhang Keqin and Wang Yuandong looked at the remaining small tube of plant growth promotion medicine. After a period of experimental research, the plant growth promotion medicine had been used up a lot.
"This is undoubtedly a new substance. Unfortunately, to fully understand its characteristics and structure, we need more plant growth promotion medicine. Most importantly, the precision of our laboratory's experimental equipment is not up to par."
Zhang Keqin did not have his usual scholarly temperament. He looked like a research maniac. His eyes were red, and there was an indescribable fanaticism on his face.
"Yuandong, can you still get some of this medicine?"
He suddenly looked at Wang Yuandong and asked hurriedly.
"Teacher, my aunt's side is limited as well. Unless we look for that Ye Xiaochen, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome if she finds out that we're researching this."
Wang Yuandong said hesitantly.
"That's a problem."
Zhang Keqin knew that the protection of intellectual property was very important nowadays. Regardless of how Ye Xiaochen got her hands on the plant growth promoting agent, the act of secretly researching it was against professional ethics.
"What if we buy all the intellectual property rights of the plant growth promoter?"
He narrowed his eyes and said suddenly.
"Eh, that's a good idea. However, Teacher, I'm afraid that the value of the plant growth promotion medicine isn't a small sum, right?"
Wang Yuandong's eyes brightened. Soon after, he asked hesitantly.
"It's precisely because it's so valuable that I have to buy it. If I can research it thoroughly, let's not talk about how much value it can create. Just the medicinal knowledge contained within this medicine will have an unimaginable effect on the advancement of the medicinal field in the plant world."
Zhang Keqin said in a trembling voice.
Being able to delay the aging of plants was a huge breakthrough in the field of life. Not only in the field of plants, but also in the field of animals. In the end, it might even work on humans.
Longevity, this was the pursuit of countless years of human history.
If there was a medicine that could delay the aging of the human body, wouldn't it be equivalent to prolonging one's life?
Although he was a well-known expert in the field of plants in the Southern Province, he was just so-so in the country. In the world, he could only be said to be unknown.
Because of this, Zhang Keqin saw a huge opportunity for him to make a name for himself and leave a mark for generations to come.
This was his biggest dream in life.
He absolutely did not want to miss it.
.....
In the evening.
Ye Xiaochen returned home exhausted. She took off her dirty clothes and took a cold shower. Only then did she feel better.
Now that the well had been dug to the depth of four hoops, water had begun to come out. However, the amount of water was not much. She estimated that one or two more hoops would be needed.
At the current speed, it would take a week or two to dig a well. After all, the deeper one went, the more difficult it would be to dig. In addition, it would take more time to pump out the accumulated water.
Ye Xiaochen was about to go for dinner when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
When she heard the slightly familiar voice on the phone saying that it was Wang Yuandong, she could not help but be stunned.
That's strange. I don't have much contact with Wang Yuandong. Why is he calling me?
"Ye Xiaochen, do you have time tomorrow? I have something important to talk to you about. "
Wang Yuandong said.
"What is it? Say it over the phone. I've been quite busy recently."
Ye Xiaochen could not figure out why Wang Yuandong was looking for her.
Wang Yuandong was the kind of person with an arrogant personality. He looked down on poor classmates like her, so Ye Xiaochen did not want to have anything to do with him.
"My teacher is very interested in your plant growth promotion medicine. Are you interested in selling the formula of this medicine?"
Wang Yuandong said after a moment of silence.
Actually, it was not very convenient to talk about this over the phone. However, there was no other reason to ask Ye Xiaochen out.
He thought about it again and again and still said it.
"Plant growth promotion medicine?"
Ye Xiaochen was slightly stunned. How did he know?
He had never thought of selling this formula. Nonsense, this was priceless. He would not sell it no matter how much money he had.
In fact, when he took out this medicine to treat Ye Lai Xiang, he also thought that this medicine would be leaked and cause some unnecessary trouble.
However, he could not bear to see Wang Xinyi so sad, so he decided to make it public.
He did not know if Wang Yuandong bought the formula from him. Was Wang Shuisheng behind the scenes?
This was not his malicious guess. It was a very normal thing. With Wang Shuisheng's business acumen, it was impossible for him not to see the value of the plant growth promotion medicine.
Although he had saved his son's life, sometimes, in front of benefits, gratitude was nothing. Capital was always ruthless.
"Sorry, I will not sell this plant growth promotion medicine."
Ye Xiaochen said straightforwardly.
He did not find any excuses like he did not have the formula at all. The other party was not a fool and would definitely not believe him.
"Ye Xiaochen, don't be so firm. The price is negotiable. I believe the price will satisfy you. It is definitely more valuable than running a farm."
Wang Yuandong would not back out just because of Ye Xiaochen's rejection.
"Haha, you can't afford this price."
Ye Xiaochen laughed.
It was not like he did not know the potential price of the plant growth promotion medicine.
On the other side, Wang Yuandong heard Ye Xiaochen's laughter and immediately knew that this deal was not going to happen.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yuandong looked at Zhang Keqin, who was frowning. "Teacher, buying the formula is not going to work. Unless we use extreme measures."
A ruthless cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Yuandong, we can't act recklessly."
Zhang Keqin saw that his student was thinking about something and immediately warned him.
He just wanted to study this medicine. As for the idea of taking it by force, that was not the slightest bit.
He was afraid that Wang Yuandong did not know the severity of the matter and would drag him into it.
"Teacher, are we going to give up just like that?"
Wang Yuandong said unwillingly.
"Of course not."
Zhang Keqin shook his head. "You have to use your brain when doing things. Do you think you can do it by force?"
Wang Yuandong was slightly stunned and fell silent. He knew that he was indeed a little reckless.
"You should know where Ye Xiaochen lives. We will go there tomorrow and talk to her in person."
Zhang Keqin said.
"Okay, teacher."
Wang Yuandong nodded. It was not a problem to find Ye Xiaochen's home address.
