Chapter 1426: Experiment
Chapter 1426: Experiment
Ling Feng was taken aback, surprised that she was more anxious than him.
With a smile, he quickly said, "It’s almost New Year, maybe we should wait?"
"No worries, flying back to Capital City only takes two hours now. We can go during the day and return by night, it won’t waste much time!"
Mu Yuhan said, clutching Ling Feng’s arm and starting to act coy, "Brother Ling, let’s go back. I can’t wait to see if there’s Helium-3 here!"
Swayed by her actions, Ling Feng had no choice but to nod, "Alright then, let’s go see if there are flights first!"
"Okay!"
Mu Yuhan nodded happily immediately.
So the two left Nine Heavens and returned to their home in Shiliu Village.
Upon searching on his phone, there was a 3 PM flight to Capital City, the last flight of today.
And it was already 2 PM, only an hour before the flight takes off.
Seeing this, Mu Yuhan exclaimed, "It seems we’re not going to make it!"
It’s likely boarding has already started. Even if you drive to the airport now, boarding would be over, the gates would be closed, and you wouldn’t be able to get on the plane!
Ling Feng glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Don’t worry, it should be enough!"
After speaking, he picked up the phone and called Gu Li, "Get me two tickets for the 3 PM flight to Capital City, and hurry. Have someone drive and wait for me downstairs soon!"
"Understood."
Gu Li didn’t ask much and nodded in agreement.
Then Ling Feng took Mu Yuhan’s hand, "Let’s go, we’ll take a shortcut!"
The two transferred from Nine Heavens directly to Ling’s Tower.
After they got downstairs, Gu Li happened to just get in a car.
Once Ling Feng and Mu Yuhan got in the car, Gu Li turned back and smiled, "No need to hurry, boss. The airport is ours; it’s not a problem to have the plane wait for you for a while!"
Ling Feng was surprised, "Is that possible?"
Gu Li chuckled, "Of course, you’re a VIP!"
After that, he unhurriedly started the car and drove towards the airport located in the suburbs.
Upon arrival, they took their pre-booked tickets, and boarded just as boarding was about to end. Ling Feng and Mu Yuhan caught the last flight.
After boarding, and once seated, Mu Yuhan’s fingers were still trembling with excitement, and Ling Feng could only chuckle and say, "Calm down, it might just be a false alarm."
"Even if there’s only a one percent chance, it will mark the beginning of a major transformation, Brother Ling, you don’t understand!" Mu Yuhan said.
If it’s confirmed that the soil in the Eighth Layer of Heaven can extract Helium-3, then it can be immediately used for numerous experiments. Shortly, in the field of nuclear fusion, Huaxia will leap ahead of all other countries and lead the charge into the new energy era.
At that time, even the global configuration might undergo changes!
Throughout the journey, they didn’t speak. When they got off the plane, Capital City was already dusk; the sun had set.
They left the airport and immediately hailed a taxi, after which Mu Yuhan hurriedly said, "Nuclear Physics Research Institute, quick!"
The driver jumped in shock and glanced at the couple in the backseat.
Seeing their extraordinary demeanor, he didn’t ask anything and started the car to leave.
On the way, Ling Feng looked at Mu Yuhan, "Suddenly, I remembered a question."
"What question?" Mu Yuhan asked.
"It’s this late; the research institute should be off work, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"It’s fine, there’s staff on duty, and I also have a lab key!" Mu Yuhan replied.
"Then I’m relieved!" Ling Feng nodded.
The driver drove while listening to the two’s conversation, then glanced at them through the rearview mirror, cautiously asking, "So, what do you guys do? It’s not like you’ve discovered an atomic bomb, right?"
"No such thing, don’t overthink it, it’s just for some urgent experimental data!" Mu Yuhan said with a look of speechlessness.
She was quite familiar with the Capital City’s drivers, who are good at chatting and imaginative. Just hearing ’laboratory’ made him imagine an atomic bomb; his creativity was unmatched.
After arriving, Ling Feng paid, and they reached the entrance of the research institute.
This is a major national facility, and there are armed police standing guard at the entrance. Mu Yuhan showed her ID, and passed through smoothly.
But when it came to Ling Feng, he also needed to present his credentials; he had no choice but to show the new ID given by Han Wancheng.
The guarding soldier opened it to look, immediately stood at attention, and saluted, shouting, "Hello, Chief!"
Ling Feng smiled wryly, nodded, and followed Mu Yuhan into the research institute.
Then the two went upstairs, directly arriving at the lab’s door.
After going through facial recognition and iris scanning, they entered the lab area.
Turning on the lights and seeing Huaxia’s top physics lab, Ling Feng was truly amazed.
"Brother Ling, give me the soil; we can have results in just over an hour!" Mu Yuhan said impatiently.
"Okay!"
Ling Feng nodded and took out the packaged soil from his bracelet.
Mu Yuhan took it and hurriedly started preparing for the experiment.
Ling Feng didn’t understand these things, so he looked around and pulled up a chair to sit down.
Watching the girl busy in front of him, Ling Feng felt a bit anxious inside too.
If Helium-3 is really discovered, what would be the subsequent outcome?
Han Wancheng is surely going to keep an eye on me, and possibly demand soil every day, if not every other day, right?
Mining isn’t difficult; a mining vehicle can casually produce a few tons.
The issue, however, lies in transportation, though it’s not hard.
Furthermore, this stuff can’t be given for free, right?
Ling Feng thought to himself that if I don’t ask for money, will the state feel comfortable using it for free? There has to be some compensation, right?
Thinking aimlessly, Mu Yuhan finished preparing and, excitedly, she pressed the instrument’s button.
Soon, the soil began to heat up.
Some invisible gases were separated from within and then sent to another instrument through the collection system.
It’s a very large machine, with the control panel alone having dozens of buttons.
At this moment, Mu Yuhan stood there, looking at the data on the screen, her tense body slightly trembling.
If she were his woman, Ling Feng definitely would have gone to hold her and offer some comfort.
But that’s not appropriate with others, so he could only watch from the side.
Suddenly, time seemed to stretch, each second passing by slowly.
After a long while, a thud came from Mu Yuhan’s area, and Ling Feng looked up to find that she had sat down on the ground. He quickly ran over: "What happened?"
"Helium-3... Helium-3!"
Mu Yuhan pointed at the screen, her voice trembling.
Ling Feng couldn’t understand the data either, so he smiled and said, "Since there’s Helium-3, I’m relieved, you should be happy too!"
Mu Yuhan sat on the ground, staring blankly at him, "Brother Ling, you’ve achieved great merit!"
