Chen...Chen Youping!

Song Ziyu was shocked when he heard this, and then said in awe: "Oh my god, it turns out you are Professor Chen Youping. I have admired him for a long time."

The reason why Song Ziyu did not go elsewhere but worked hard to find the research institute under Nanjing University was because of the existence of Chen Youping.

Although Song Ziyu knows nothing about agricultural technology, he has heard of Chen Youping’s reputation!

This old man, who has devoted his life to solving agricultural and soil problems, is recognized as the most outstanding agriculturist and soil scientist in the Yuxia Republic.

It's just that the old man has always kept a low profile, and only his name can be seen in the newspapers, so when he saw Lushan's true face, Song Ziyu didn't recognize him, and he almost started a fight. Now that he realized it later, Song Ziyu secretly felt ashamed.

When I entered the temple, I didn't recognize the Bodhisattva. It was a sin.

"Do you know me?" Chen Youping was a little confused by Song Ziyu's sudden enthusiasm.

Song Ziyu quickly explained: "I know your name from the junior high school Chinese textbook."

Chen Youping was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "No, I'm not in the junior high school textbooks now."

A conversation quickly brought the two of them closer. Unfortunately, Song Ziyu was a layman in agriculture and could not pick up what Chen Youping was talking about. So after chatting, Mr. Chen got down to business: "There are two types of soil testing. The first is periodic testing. Inspection, this process is done step by step according to the traditional inspection method, and it takes about twenty-eight days.”

Song Ziyu frowned when he heard this. After twenty-eight days, the day lily was cold.

"What about the second way?" Song Ziyu asked.

Chen Youping replied: "The second testing method is agricultural rapid inspection, which only checks the main soil element content to determine what vegetation and crops can be grown. This testing method only takes seven days, and the test report obtained is not as good as the first one." The testing approach is comprehensive.”

Song Ziyu asked: "Is there a faster way?"

"Are you in such a hurry?" Now it was Chen Youping's turn to frown.

"I am indeed in a hurry." Song Ziyu answered truthfully.

More than a thousand people had to eat horse chews. One more day of delay would add to the pressure. Song Ziyu really couldn't afford to wait.

Chen Youping mused: "There is a way, but the cost will be much higher." Chen Youping gritted his teeth and said.

"How much?" Song Ziyu asked.

"Four hundred thousand, two days!" Chen Youping said: "No one else can do it, I need to do it myself."

Song Ziyu took a breath, is this industry so profitable?

Gritting his teeth, Song Ziyu agreed: "Four hundred thousand means four hundred thousand, I'll pay for it!"

Song Ziyu went all out and decided to spend a lot of money to find out what serious diseases were in the soil of the wasteland world.

Song Ziyu immediately handed over the soil samples and returned to the hotel to wait for news.

At 2:30 in the morning, Song Ziyu was sleeping in a daze in the hotel, and suddenly the phone rang.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar caller, Song Ziyu hung up and continued to sleep, but the calls kept coming in.

Having no other choice, Song Ziyu answered the phone: "Who is it?"

An urgent voice came from the other side of the phone: "Asshole, why don't you answer the phone? Come to the research institute right away, right now!"

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Song Ziyu was confused!

Then Song Ziyu realized that this was Professor Chen Youping's voice.

Song Ziyu did not dare to neglect, so she hurriedly put on her clothes and took a taxi to the Fifth Nannong Scientific Research Institute.

It was quiet around the scientific research institute in the middle of the night. Not even a security guard was seen. Only the lights in the laboratory were still on.

Song Ziyu came to the laboratory and saw Chen Youping busy in front of a pile of instruments.

"Mr. Chen, are you looking for me so late?" Song Ziyu asked.

At this time, Mr. Chen looked completely different from earlier! His eyes were scarlet, his hair was like a chicken coop, his face was extremely unnatural, and his expression was even scary.

Chen Youping rushed over in a hurry, grabbed Song Ziyu by the collar, and asked in a nearly roaring voice: "Soil, where did you get the soil? Take me there, I want to see the scene!"

Song Ziyu was puzzled: "Mr. Chen, you should know that some things are business secrets and cannot be disclosed."

"Bullshit, these soils have no commercial value." Chen Youping roared: "I have never seen such seriously polluted soil... Where is it? What caused it? Young man, let me tell you, any soil is polluted Such pollution is already endangering national public safety. If I call the police, do you know the consequences?"

Song Ziyu was shocked and felt that Chen Youping was not joking, so he panicked on the spot.

"Mr. Chen, don't get excited, these soils were not collected in China..." Song Ziyu quickly explained.

"Not in the country? Where is it?" Chen Youping still asked.

"Don't ask, I can't talk about this...forget it, I won't test anymore, I'll leave now and return the sample to me." Song Ziyu was scared, and there were some things that he couldn't explain clearly.

Only then did Song Ziyu realize that he was afraid.

Once some secrets are known to outsiders, you may be arrested by the relevant departments and sectioned for study.

Song Ziyu decided to run away on the spot, but Chen Youping sat slumped on the ground and blocked the way, muttering: "You give me this soil sample. Unless I see the scene, I won't give up."

Song Ziyu couldn't help but ask: "Is this soil so scary? Even Mr. Chen, you are so scared?"

"Scary? It's not scary...it's just that I can't figure it out!" Chen Youping seemed to be in a daze.

"What problem is it? It makes you do this!" Song Ziyu also didn't understand at all what problem could make a highly respected agricultural scientist so embarrassed.

"Come with me, I'll tell you!" Chen Youping got up from the ground and walked straight to an experimental table.

There were several petri dishes placed on the experimental table. Chen Youping pointed to one of the petri dishes and said: "This is the No. 1 sample you brought. I detected a large number of heavy metal elements in it. These excessive metal elements hinder the growth of soil vegetation." a reason.”

"In addition, this soil sample is desert soil with extremely heavy saline-alkali content, which is worse than any saline-alkali land I have ever seen, but this does not make me confused."

As he spoke, Chen Youping pointed to another soil sample and said, "This is sample No. 4 you provided. Guess what I detected in it!"

Song Ziyu shook his head blankly. His lack of knowledge made him unqualified to speak.

Chen Youping said in a solemn tone: "I actually detected radioactive elements with attenuating properties in sample No. 4!"

"What does this mean?" Song Ziyu asked with a blink.

"Little idiot, you can understand that this soil has been bombed by nuclear bombs!" Chen Youping said.

Nuclear...nuclear bomb?

This time Song Ziyu was completely stunned.

Is this the secret of the soil pollution in the wasteland world?

No wonder the wasteland world is so desolate. It turns out to be a world that has been "nuclearized".

Oops, I heard that radioactive substances are harmful to the body. Will I get leukemia? Will I get cancer? Will genes be damaged?

Song Ziyu thought of the movie "Chernobyl", in which the firefighters were exposed to nuclear waste without protection, which directly caused their bodies to be completely rotten.

horrible!

Have you been given a suspended death sentence?

Song Ziyu was petrified.

But what Chen Youping said next gave Song Ziyu a reassurance.

"There is also a lot of soil containing radioactive materials. After all, several major powers are conducting nuclear tests... The content of radioactive elements in these soils is no longer enough to cause serious harm to the human body." Chen Youping explained.

Song Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, it was just fine.

But immediately, Chen Youping's words made Song Ziyu's hair stand on end.

Chen Youping trembled and said: "There is a cycle of radioactive material pollution. This cycle is called half-life. For example, in Chernobyl, fifty years after the nuclear leak, due to the attenuation of the material, the local environment has approached Normally...the same is true for the land here. The soil is not harmful to you because it decays long enough."

Speaking of which!

Chen Youping's throat felt as if someone was strangling him, and he screamed: "But the artificial radioactive substances I found in the soil you gave me have a decay period of more than two hundred and fifty years!"

Then, Chen Youping kept repeating the number "two hundred and fifty years" tremblingly, like a repeater.

"Two hundred and fifty years, what does this mean?" Song Ziyu asked.

Chen Youping came back to his senses and slowly turned his bloody eyes: "Little idiot, since that lady discovered uranium, mankind has only gradually opened the devil's box, and now it has only been more than a hundred years... The thief of time, in the end who is it?"
