"Ye Xiaochen, what is this?"
Zhang Keqin was very close. Looking at the pitch-black liquid, he resisted the pungent smell and couldn't help but ask.
"This is a kind of medicine I made. It's called the Constitution Consolidating Liquid. It's mainly used to stabilize the remaining vitality of the Fusang Wood."
Ye Xiaochen said as she made the medicine.
Zhang Keqin's eyes lit up. He had seen the magic of the plant growth promotion medicine.
His curiosity about the black liquid became stronger.
"You're just pretending to be mysterious."
Li Tingting pursed her lips. That black liquid must be some kind of messy stuff.
The name was really good!
She just didn't know if it really had the effect of consolidating the Fusang Wood.
Academician Yang and other well-known botanists at home and abroad were all watching curiously. They wanted to know how Ye Xiaochen was going to heat up the Fusang Wood.
Also, was this grayish liquid with a pungent smell really so miraculous?
Soon, a small pot of golden cooking oil turned into a dark gold color after it was put in the Constitution Consolidating Liquid.
Ye Xiaochen took a brush, dipped it in the oil, and was about to brush the trunk of the Fusang Wood.
"What are you doing?"
Academician Yang was shocked when he saw Ye Xiaochen's actions. He quickly stepped forward to stop her.
Smearing the liquid with cooking oil on the trunk? Could it be that the temperature could be raised like this?
"Of course I'm brushing the tree with oil. Otherwise, how can I heat it up?"
Ye Xiaochen respected this kind of old expert very much, so he immediately explained.
"No, how can you do this? This Fusang Wood has already exhausted its vitality. It can't withstand any more torment."
Academician Yang didn't understand Ye Xiaochen's actions at all.
With Academician Yang taking the lead, the others also spoke one after another. They didn't agree with Ye Xiaochen's actions.
"Director Li, you really can't do this. If the Fusang Wood completely withered because of human factors, we can't bear this responsibility!"
Jiang Ping, the director of the Special Plant Research Institute, had also come in and hurriedly persuaded Li Yang.
In his words, he pointed out that the human factor was the application of oil on the Fuso wood.
Perhaps the Fusang Wood itself could wither and die, but because of this artificial factor, it would cause a lot of trouble.
Even as the dean, he couldn't get away with it.
"Academician Yang, if we don't do this, will the Fuso Tree survive?"
Li Yang did not know if he could trust Ye Xiaochen, but if they stopped like this, there would be no hope for the Fuso Tree.
Academician Yang was stunned and speechless.
There was no other way!
"Even if the Hibiscus Wood dies, at least the tree body won't be damaged. If you smear the oil on it now, you can't wash it off later. Moreover, the oil can't be washed off with water. You have to use detergent or something like that, which will definitely cause great damage to the tree body."
A middle-aged man suddenly said.
"That's right. Even if the Hibiscus Tree is dead, it's still a priceless treasure. If it's damaged, it'll be a disaster!"
"That's right. This Hibiscus Wood is a treasure of this world. It must not be damaged in any way."
"You can't smear the oil on the Fuso wood."
.....
The other botanists all started talking about it.
They all had the same idea. They did not believe in Ye Xiaochen's method. They would rather the Hibiscus Wood die completely than let the tree body be damaged in the slightest.
Zhang Keqin was a little anxious at the side.
He absolutely believed in Ye Xiaochen.
However, in this kind of situation, everyone was a mighty figure. As a professor of Nanjing University, his words carried little weight.
Li Yang began to hesitate.
As for the dean, Jiang Ping, he naturally stood on the side of the majority.
"Do you think that if the Hibiscus Wood dies, the tree body will be preserved?"
Ye Xiaochen looked on coldly.
Now that the situation was one-sided, even Li Yang, who had been more resolute earlier, looked hesitant.
He sighed in his heart. If the Hibiscus Wood was not too precious, it might be the only one in the world. If it died just like that, it would definitely be a huge loss.
He would rather do nothing than offend so many people.
He was just a nobody. It was not a good thing for him to go against these mighty figures of the plant world.
"Does Mr. Ye think that we don't have the ability to preserve the Hibiscus Wood?"
Academician Yang was a little displeased with Ye Xiaochen's tone.
It was fine if they could not save the Hibiscus Wood, but he definitely did not believe that they could not even preserve the Hibiscus Wood's body.
"The Hibiscus Wood is rumored to be a strange wood of heaven and earth. It's an ancient mutant. In myths and legends, it was once the resting place of the divine bird, the Golden Crow. It was born to withstand high temperatures, and the place where it grew was the source of the fire of heaven and earth. This kind of strange wood has a special characteristic. Once the temperature drops, it will quickly decay and return to nothingness at the moment of its death.
Ye Xiaochen did not care about Academician Yang's displeasure and slowly explained.
Li Yang's eyes lit up as he listened. This was because he had read a lot of information about the Hibiscus Wood. There were similar records in the ancient tomb scroll. It was roughly the same as what Ye Xiaochen said.
There was no way to preserve the Hibiscus Wood.
After all, it was a myth and legend. It could not be taken seriously.
"Could it be true?"
Li Tingting muttered to herself.
She was an archeologist.
She had come into contact with some strange things that could not be explained by science.
This was the case with the Hibiscus Wood.
It had survived in a sealed ancient tomb for thousands of years and still retained its vitality.
This was a miracle in itself.
The Hibiscus Wood's body had a temperature that exceeded that of ordinary trees. It was also very ridiculous.
All kinds of incredible things combined to describe the extraordinariness of the Hibiscus Wood.
At this moment, all the doubts she had about Ye Xiaochen seemed to have cracked, and she was no longer sure of it.
She could not help but look at Ye Xiaochen. She wanted to know how Ye Xiaochen would explain it.
"You mean that once the Hibiscus Wood dies, it will completely decay and turn into ashes? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. "
Academician Yang was slightly stunned. A hint of contemplation appeared between his brows as he said in a deep voice.
The decay and oxidation of matter was a long-term process. It was absolutely impossible to complete it in a short period of time.
If the Hibiscus Wood was placed in a sealed space without bacteria and air, could it still decay and oxidize?
"Yeah, that's impossible."
"I thought there was really a way. You don't even know the basic knowledge of the change of matter."
"This Hibiscus Wood suddenly turned into ashes. Could it be that the Hibiscus Wood we are seeing and touching now is fake?"
"Even if we burn it with fire, it will take a long time to burn it to ashes."
.....
The people present started to talk at once. None of them believed it.
In their eyes, there was a scientific explanation for the change of any matter.
A real Hibiscus Wood could completely decay and turn into ashes in a short period of time. Could this be explained?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
What Ye Xiaochen said was denying science.
Denying science was denying the knowledge they had learned in the past and the worldview they knew.
This was subverting modern science.
