Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Chapter 225: The Great Battle in the Capital (5)

When Lantian pushed the iron door of the laboratory open with his knee, the room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Professor Fu Ming was currently buried like a pyramid under three thick stacks of drawings. His head was looming in the pile of drawings, his brows furrowed, and he was concentrating on studying the materials in his hands, without noticing Lantian's arrival at all.

As soon as Lantian walked into the laboratory, the aroma of the tea eggs in the bamboo basket instantly filled the air like a biological weapon.

The rich, mellow aroma, with its distinct hint of marinade, quickly overcame the pungent chemical odor that filled the room. Even the half-dead Clivia on the windowsill seemed to be infused with life, its leaves perking up like a hyena smelling meat. Stimulated by the aroma, it actually glowed with a unique vitality.

"Professor Fu, the ink scent in your room needs to be suppressed by the smell of fireworks."

Lantian wore a bright smile as he spoke, shoving the bamboo basket into the space next to the microscope. Inside, five darkly patterned tea eggs sat steaming in the oil-paper, emitting an alluring sheen.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of sneezing sounds from outside.

It turned out that Xiao Wang from the next group was peeking through the door frame. He didn't even realize that there was a piece of eggshell stuck on the tip of his nose. He looked very funny.

He was attracted by the aroma of tea eggs and couldn't help but move closer, but he didn't expect to be choked by the strong smell and sneeze.

Fu Ming finally pulled his glasses out from the pile of drawings. Half of the calculation paper was still hooked on the temples, making him look a little embarrassed.

He looked at Lantian and said helplessly, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, if you keep feeding us like this, our laboratory will soon be turned into a teahouse."

Having said that, his hand honestly touched the bamboo basket, obviously unable to resist the temptation of the tea eggs.

Last week he was still wondering why his lab notebooks were always stained with soy sauce. It wasn't until he saw Xiao Zhao secretly soaking eggshells in tea that he suddenly realized that it was the "little incident" caused by the tea eggs.

It seems that Zhou Tian’s tea eggs are so delicious that they are reluctant to even throw away the eggshells.

Lantian pulled the lame bench over and sat down with very quick movements.

She took out a homemade cowhide notebook from her bag. The corners of the notebook were wrapped with machine tool waste, making it look very unique.

As she opened it, she accidentally dropped a gear-shaped bookmark she had made from scrap parts. Last month, it was nearly confiscated by the security department as a communication tool for enemy spies. Thinking about it now, it still feels a bit thrilling.

"Last time you talked about the surface wettability of nanomaterials," she pointed at her densely packed notes, her eyes focused and serious. Suddenly, she fished out a rusty nut from her pocket. "I'm thinking about this threaded engagement. Could it be..."

Just as she finished her words, suddenly, a deafening "bang" sound came from outside the window.

The sound was like a thunder that pierced the silent air, causing everyone present to tremble in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhao rushed into the room with a panicked look and staggering steps.

The test tube rack that he had been holding tightly in his hands had now become a terrible sight - the glass tubes on the rack were scattered everywhere, and only three lonely supports were left barely supporting the entire structure.

Ever since Lantian took charge of delivering tea eggs to everyone, Xiao Zhao seemed to be under a spell. As soon as he smelled the fragrance of Lantian tea eggs, he became like a possessed person and became absent-minded in everything he did.

On average, at least two sets of labware are accidentally broken every day.

Although everyone has long been accustomed to this situation, every time they hear the sudden sound of breaking, they still can't help but tremble with fear.

At this moment, Fu Ming couldn't help but frowning when he saw this. He held his forehead with his hand and sighed repeatedly, shaking his head helplessly.

However, unlike others, Lantian's reaction was extremely quick.

Almost at the moment the sound was heard, she took out a pair of pliers from the drawer like lightning, squatted down without hesitation, and began to carefully repair the broken test tube rack.

Sunlight streamed through the window, brushing against the insulating tape wrapped around her wrists and giving the rusty screws a golden edge, adding a different kind of color to the entire scene.

Xiao Zhao was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Sister Zhou, you can't even repair machine tools, right?"

"That's not possible," Lantian slammed the repaired shelf on the table.

In fact, she would definitely be able to fix it.

But, you can't show off too much.

Her movements were neat and swift, the screwdriver turning into a silver flower at her fingertips. "As for me, the most I can do is deliver a sewing machine."

She nodded at the Butterfly brand sewing machine in the corner.

Xiao Zhao couldn't help but touch his head after hearing this. "Oh, Sister Zhou, you are so humorous. I love listening to you talk the most. I feel like I can eat two more bowls of rice just by listening to you talk."

Lantian couldn't help but tease him after hearing this, "That won't work. You know, your food coupons are now rationed monthly. If you eat them all, you'll be hungry."

Xiao Zhao looked at Lantian stupidly and didn't answer.

Ever since she knew that Lantian had taken away an old sewing machine from the laboratory, Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to take advantage of it and have her trouser legs repaired.

Everyone discovered that Lantian's repaired antique could actually produce nanometer-level stitches. This shocked everyone and they kept coming to Lantian.

As for Mrs. Wang, she would pull Lantian along whenever she saw her, which made Lantian feel overwhelmed.

The entire laboratory staff praised Lantian's craftsmanship.

Lantian has almost become a legend in Fu Ming Laboratory.

After hearing this, Ma Pingyuan couldn't help but smile and said:

"It has to be my little girl Zhou, she's capable!"

The cocky Ergou turned over in Lantian's consciousness, and his simulated claws made a squeaking sound as they scratched the simulated iron sheet.

He was so envious of having a body that before he could exchange it for another, he couldn't help but exchange it for a virtual body from the main system. It looked quite realistic. Furthermore, not satisfied with that, he spent ten points to simulate the environment around him.

For some reason, he suddenly fell in love with the squeaking sound of his claws scratching on the iron.

Lantian is now filled with Ergou's evil voice every day.

However, she didn't know how to lock Ergouzi in the small dark room, and her face was pale during this period.

At this moment, there was another squeaking sound. Lantian felt that she might go crazy.

In order to make the arrogant Ergou stop, Lantian took the initiative to make a lot of food molds during this period, and kept bribing the arrogant Ergou with snacks, tricking Ergou into swearing to the sky that he would never scratch the iron sheet with his claws easily, and would only do it once a week at most, and could only scratch it five times back and forth at a time.

Although Ergou later discovered that he had been fooled, he felt that his wounded heart was healed after eating a lot of snacks.

He felt that ever since the host learned how to use machine tools to carve peach pastry molds, his snack inventory had never been depleted.

At this moment, he had half a piece of jujube paste cake under his claws. It was baked with leftover materials from the controlled nuclear fusion laboratory. In his words, one could see quantum entanglement after taking a bite.

"Host, take it easy. Don't be too reckless. It doesn't look like a monster!"

Ergou transmitted his message through his consciousness, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Let me tell you, right now, Yin Hong from Ma Pingyuan's laboratory is peeking at you repairing the test tube rack."

Lantian's hand shook, and the screwdriver accurately pierced into the cup of tea that Xiao Zhao had just brewed. The tea leaves were so frightened that they danced a waltz in the air. The scene was very funny.

Fu Ming ate tea eggs while watching Lantian struggling with a smile.

In the mechanical laboratory in March, sunlight shines through the windows onto the ground, forming patches of light and shadow, which appears harmonious.

?

Fu Ming got Lantian a pass to Peking University and gave her the title of assistant.

The country has now completely banned the college entrance examination. Otherwise, with Lantian's grades, it would only take a few minutes for him to be admitted to Peking University.

Every time Fu Ming thought of this, he felt regretful.

The sunlight shines through the laboratory window and onto the table filled with instruments.

Lantian came to see Fu Ming with tea eggs as usual.

She gently put the bamboo basket aside, looked at Fu Ming who was sorting out the experimental data with sparkling eyes, and said:

"Professor Fu, when you're done with this, could you tell me more about the mysteries of nanomaterials' microstructure? I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I have a lot of questions."

Fu Ming raised his head, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a gentle smile appeared on his face:

"Of course, Lantian, your eagerness to learn is truly rare."

As he said that, he put down the documents in his hand, pulled over a chair and motioned Lantian to sit down.

Also in the laboratory is Fu Ming's assistant Xiao Zhao.

He was busy sorting out experimental samples. When he heard Lantian's question, he stopped what he was doing and pricked up his ears.

During the communication, Lantian listened carefully to Fu Ming's explanation and put forward his own views from time to time.

Sometimes she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about some complicated knowledge point; sometimes her eyes lit up and she expressed her ideas excitedly.

Fu Ming looked at her like this, his heart full of admiration, thinking that this girl's passion for knowledge was like a flame that would never go out.

Xiao Zhao, a student at the school, couldn't help but admire her and whispered, "This girl is amazing! There are so many questions I haven't even thought of."

After explaining a key point, Fu Ming picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked with a smile:

"Lantian, you understand so quickly, have you secretly crammed a lot of knowledge elsewhere?"

Lantian immediately looked embarrassed, scratched his head with his hand, and his cheeks flushed slightly:

"Actually, I went back and pondered over what you said. I also read a lot of related books. Whenever I encountered something I didn't understand, I racked my brains to figure it out. Sometimes I even dreamed about it."

Fu Ming was amused by her words, and his hearty laughter echoed in the laboratory:

"It seems you've been completely captivated by nanomaterials. Keep up the momentum and you'll definitely achieve great things in this field."

Xiao Zhao also laughed and agreed, "Yes, Zhou Tian, ​​you work so hard, you will definitely become a great scientist in the future."

Suddenly, Lantian changed the subject. "But, I did read a lot of books on mechanics. Professor Fu, besides being interested in nanomaterials, I also have a strong passion for mechanics. You know, I think machinery is like a huge and sophisticated work of art. Every part and every gear is filled with endless wisdom."

As he spoke, Lantian stood up and walked to the simple mechanical model beside him. He gently turned the handle on it, his eyes flashing with excitement:

"Look at this simple transmission structure. Although its principle is fundamental, it can give rise to countless complex and powerful mechanical systems, just like the cornerstone of a tall building. It's amazing."

Her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and her whole body exuded a passion for knowledge.

Fu Ming watched Lantian's every move and was secretly amazed.

He noticed that Lantian was very skilled in operating the model and his understanding of mechanical principles was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Lantian, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding and talent for mechanics. This isn't something an amateur can achieve."
