Chapter 473 - 266: The Immortal Grass Experimental Class Madcaps, and the Most Madcap—Bai Mo (Part 2)
"What do you think? Where should we stuff it? You operate it!"
Wang E frowned.
"Well... Master, which type of molecule inside it do you want to study?
"We need to separate and purify the components inside it, then send the specific molecules you need into this machine for observation."
Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal was stunned for a moment.
"Molecules? Separation? Purification?
"Study which molecule... this...
"All molecules inside, we need them!
"You come here, separate and purify them!"
Wang E frowned again, explaining to his master.
"I... I don’t have that technology.
"Master, this purification and separation is actually quite complex.
"For small molecules, there’s thin-layer chromatography, column chromatography, recrystallization, preparative liquid chromatography...
"For large molecules, there’s gel chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, membrane separation, electrophoresis...
"There’s a wide variety of methods, each with its own intricacies."
Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal listened in astonishment.
"Which one are you skilled in?"
Wang E replied sheepishly.
"I know how to crystallize a few types of compounds... but as for Immortal Grass components, I’ve never handled them, nor do I know how."
This was indeed not a lie... Wang E was a self-taught chemist, familiar with some rudimentary methods, but modern high-tech techniques were beyond his grasp.
Seeing Ancient Immortal’s face full of bewilderment and eyes gradually showing disappointment and growing anger, he quickly said.
"Master, although we can’t handle this separation and purification, we can find someone to help!
"Just find that fatty who delivered the machine!
"He’s rich, well-connected, he can undoubtedly make it happen!"
Ancient Immortal nodded in agreement.
Wang E secretly rejoiced.
This damn fatty likes being a traitor, right?
Since he likes it, let him carry it through to the end!
The more he helps Ancient Immortal, the more traceable he becomes, and later let the boss fish him out and finish him!
...
Autumn has gotten increasingly cold.
Even with the windows closed, there is still a hint of chilliness in the office.
Rustling...
Thousand-Mile Eye stood on the desk, helping Master pour a cup of hot ginger sugar tea.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The cafeteria at Fox Mountain has a large box of ginger sugar slices.
The ginger sugar slices in the current world are of poorer quality, the taste isn’t as good, but they can make do!
Bai Mo patted his apprentice’s head, smiled and took a sip of tea, checked the two emails on the computer desktop, and clicked send.
One sent to North Suburb Base, asking Professor Hong Anxi and others to work on the separation and purification of existing Immortal Grass.
The other sent to the lab downstairs, asking the group of teachers and students to do electron microscope imaging of ordinary plant pheromones.
Plant pheromones, this topic seems casual, but actually has a bit of personal agenda...
Bai Mo wants to form a Plant Neurology container, needing to study the information transmission of plants in the current world, research plant pheromones.
This part of the work is a lot and troublesome, so it’s handed over to students, letting them try it.
"I wonder if they can handle it?"
The documents are step-by-step detail level!
But the process is also indeed complex!
Without several years of research experience, it’s really uncertain whether success is possible.
"Let’s try first.
"If it doesn’t work, I’ll go myself."
Thousand-Mile Eye handed a cup of ginger tea to Fang Xiaoyu’s desk. Fang Xiaoyu took the ginger tea, feeling flattered, smiling with arched brows, temporarily unaware that the Immortal Beast is not particularly close to her, just wants to find her to buy a white lab coat similar to Master’s...
Bai Mo grinned, then lowered his head, opened the database, and began reading the literature on "animal nerves" and "plant information".
The current world doesn’t offer any "Plant Neurology" for reference, he plans to learn from these two fields by analogy, identify intersections, and see if he can figure something out.
...
"Cheers!"
"Drink!"
The large room has doors but no windows, impermeable to light, luxuriously decorated, splendidly magnificent.
Four large sofas were arranged around the table.
Four big fatties sat around the table.
Sitting on the east side, Boss Dai, with a face full of joy.
"Heh heh, Ancient Immortal can’t do without us now, just got an electron microscope, and now wants us to do separation, purification."
Sitting on the south side, Boss Lu, beamed with delight.
"Let’s do a good job for Ancient Immortal, and when they descend, we can continue to work for them."
Sitting on the west side, Boss Tong, pondered slightly.
"This task is not easy, the enterprises under my name can’t handle it."
Sitting on the north side, Boss Cheng, dismissed with disdain.
"If it’s not doable, it’s because there’s too little money.
"If it’s undoable, it’s because the money hasn’t reached yet.
"Leave it to me, worst case, I’ll go into academia and throw some serious money at him."
"That stuff, we have plenty, don’t care."
...
Night had deepened.
West State University campus had turned deserted, with streetlights extinguished one by one.
Only Immortal Grass Building remained brightly lit.
In the laboratory, a group of students were hunched over documents, fiddling with various reagents, operating all kinds of instruments.
"You added too much hydrochloric acid, didn’t you?"
"According to the document, that’s not the way it’s done."
"Oh, Bai Mo mentioned the principle, I’ll go calculate this stuff."
"Aha, I figured it out!"
Wan Bocheng stood by the column chromatograph, comparing notes with Bai Mo’s document, eyes wide in observation.
The more he looked, the happier he became!
The document was comprehensive, explaining principles, operations, precautions, and taboos, making learning an enjoyable experience.
Lan Fangfang was next to him, taking notes and doing calculations as she watched.
A researcher packed up his bag, preparing to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at the group of students as if they were injected with adrenaline.
"These things aren’t easy to learn.
"You can’t understand them in just two or three days.
"What’s the rush?
"Go home and sleep."
Wan Bocheng looked up at him inexplicably.
"Isn’t precisely because it’s hard to learn, we need to hurry?"
The researcher was stunned.
What he said made so much sense, he was left speechless.
Professors, lecturers, and researchers all left in succession, leaving only the students of the Immortal Grass Experimental Class, either holding documents or guarding instruments, eyes shining brightly!
Huang Sitong, already Sequence Seven, was obviously not tired, and at this moment, she was holding Bai Mo’s document, furrowing her brows, carefully operating an instrument.
Students from the School of Pharmacy, Medical School, and School of Biology were thoroughly exhausted.
"Damn, I’m dead tired, let’s go, can’t keep up with this lot.
"Go home and sleep, come back tomorrow."
Suddenly, cheers came from the doorway.
"Ah, we did it!"
It was indeed Guan Yue Ling, along with several friends, clutching a stack of printouts and rushing into this room.
"We succeeded in using the electron microscope to produce images!"
Everyone gathered around excitedly.
A stack of printouts was distributed among the crowd.
"Huh? So small?"
"So blurry?"
The molecular projection images produced by the electron microscope were far less clear than imagined.
Rows and columns, hundreds and thousands of black and white images, each as big as a thumb’s belly, black and white and blurry.
"Can this reveal molecular structures?"
"Seems to require computer processing?"
"Look at these few, the shapes are quite similar, adjust orientation, overlap them, do some binarization..."
Wan Bocheng, Lan Fangfang, Guan Yue Ling and others were gathered in heated discussion.
Yang Zhan, Huang Sitong, and a few students from the Medical School and School of Biology were dumbfounded.
Out of the thick stack of documents, they’ve read only a small portion, yet Guan Yue Ling and her group have read them all? Can operate them? Create images with the electron microscope?
Are they still human?
Are they perverted?
The top scorer of the national college entrance exam, indeed terrifying?
Yang Zhan suddenly realized, where is Bai Mo, the one who wrote these documents?
Bai Mo entered university with them!
"Turned straight into a monster..."
In the crowd, Guan Yue Ling furrowed her brows.
"Cryo-electron microscope isn’t as impressive as we imagined.
"The resulting images are blurry."
Wan Bocheng held the documents, smacked his lips.
"If they were clearer, that would be great."
...
"If clearer, that would be great."
In the Bronze Hall, the floor had been completely cleared and cleaned.
Pill Fire Electron Microscope’s five-colored images were being projected on this floor, fully covering the whole hall!
Two large molecules were colliding, undergoing biochemical reactions.
Each projection was five-colored.
Each projection was as big as a pot lid.
Bai Mo unsatisfied with the clarity, thought it over, and the local details were magnified!
The projection of two molecules turned as big as an ox, their structures much clearer.
