Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

“…We need to find a more stable formula.” I closed the window and turned to face the team.

"Xiao Wu, retrieve the experimental records from last time, and we'll analyze them again."

Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the lab was like a taut bowstring, with everyone on edge.

The air was thick with the smells of engine oil, metal, and various chemical reagents, so strong that it was almost suffocating.

The fluorescent lights overhead emitted a buzzing sound, like a tireless fly, which was very annoying.

Experiment after experiment, failure after failure.

I feel like my mind is a jumbled mess, with all sorts of data, formulas, and parameters mixed together, and I just can't make sense of it.

I rubbed my aching temples, my stomach cramping. I hadn't been eating or sleeping well for days, and I felt like I was about to collapse.

Xiao Wu hung his head in dejection, his once bright eyes now bloodshot.

He scratched his head in frustration and let out a low sigh.

The others weren't in much better shape; everyone's face was etched with exhaustion, and the hope in their eyes was gradually fading.

"Sister Miao, we're stuck at this step. This won't work. We've tried every possible solution, but there's still no progress." Xiao Wu's voice was hoarse, tinged with despair.

Looking at them, my heart was filled with bitterness.

The oppressive atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping us and making it hard to breathe.

I forced myself to stay calm and said in a lighthearted tone, "Don't be discouraged, we'll definitely find a solution."

However, even I felt that this encouragement seemed weak and powerless.

I walked to the lab bench, picked up the latest experimental data, and carefully examined it line by line.

The data was cold and cruel, like a bucket of cold water poured over my head, making me completely sober up—our current plan is not going to work.

Just then, Old Liu pushed up his glasses and slowly said, "I do have an idea..."

Old Liu's words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through my chaotic thoughts.

He pushed up his thick glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses shone with an astonishing brightness, as if they held a universe within them.

“I reorganized the experimental data and found that we have been trying to stabilize the existing formula. Although it passed the previous test, is it possible that the problem is not stability at all, but that we have chosen the wrong direction?”

He pointed to the blueprints on the lab bench, speaking faster and raising his voice slightly.

"The traditional approach is to use the properties of substance A to stabilize substance B, but why don't we try the opposite? Using the properties of substance B to activate substance A might achieve unexpected results!"

He excitedly explained his ideas, his tone firm and powerful, each word like a drumbeat striking the heart.

His enthusiasm ignited the previously dull atmosphere in the laboratory, and the air seemed to be filled with eager, restless energy.

I felt my blood start to boil, and a long-lost sense of excitement welled up inside me.

However, this excitement did not last long.

Xiao Wu suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed, his face full of disapproval.

"Old Liu, this is too risky! We've never tried this method before. If it fails, all our previous efforts will be in vain!" His voice was sharp, shattering this nascent hope.

Old Liu was not intimidated; on the contrary, he became even more excited, his cheeks flushing with excitement.

"It is precisely because we haven't tried it that we must try! Scientific progress is achieved through continuous experimentation and failure. If we always stick to the old ways, there will never be any new breakthroughs!"

“But our resources are already very tight. What will we use to make up for it if we fail?” Xiao Wu’s voice rose eight octaves, his chest heaving violently, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"How will you know you'll fail if you don't try?" Old Liu retorted, placing his hands on the table, leaning slightly forward, his eyes resolute.

The two started arguing, each saying their own thing, and their voices grew louder and louder.

The initial excitement in the laboratory was instantly replaced by tension, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

I looked at the two people arguing before me, my brows furrowed, my mind filled with a multitude of thoughts.

These two methods are like two forks in the road, both full of unknowns.

How should I choose?

I felt my heart pounding like a drum.

Just then, I heard Gong Lin walk in from outside the laboratory. His footsteps were steady and powerful. His gaze swept across the laboratory and finally settled on me.

"Gong Lin..." I called softly. His appearance seemed to bring a calming power, and my tense nerves relaxed slightly.

He walked over to me, gently patted my shoulder, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

"Don't be nervous." His words, though brief, flowed into my heart like a warm current, making me feel incredibly at ease.

I took a deep breath, looked up, and gazed at Old Liu and Little Wu, who were arguing fiercely.

"Enough!" I suddenly shouted, my voice echoing in the laboratory and breaking the deadlock.

Old Liu and Xiao Wu were both stunned, and everyone's eyes were on me.

I walked up to them and said firmly, “Old Liu’s idea makes a lot of sense. Xiao Wu, I know you’re worried about failure, but if we don’t even have the courage to try, we’ll never be able to break through this predicament.”

I turned to look at Mr. Liu, and decided to try again following his approach.

Old Liu's expression gradually changed from surprise to relief. He nodded and said meaningfully, "Then let's move forward together toward the dawn of hope."

Xiao Wu was still somewhat hesitant, but seeing my determined expression, he finally nodded.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, sat back down at the lab bench, and began adjusting the experimental parameters according to Professor Liu's advice.

Gong Lin stood silently at the laboratory door. I glanced at him gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in my heart.

He smiled slightly, turned and walked out of the laboratory. A moment later, he came back in carrying a steaming hot bento box.

"Everyone has worked hard. Let's eat something first to replenish our energy." Gong Lin's voice was gentle, and the aroma of food filled the laboratory, making everyone relax involuntarily.

We sat together, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Seeing the hope rekindled in everyone's eyes filled me with emotion.

A long-lost smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face, as if he had been infected by this warmth and encouragement.

Old Liu squinted, his eyes narrowing into slits, as if he could already see the picture of success in his mind.

After finishing our meal, we immediately returned to the lab bench and began a new round of experiments.

The data gradually improved, and each measurement made me increasingly excited.

My fingers trembled as I recorded every subtle change.

The atmosphere in the lab shifted from tense to excited, with everyone's face filled with anticipation.

"Sister Miao, look! The data has changed again!" Xiao Wu shouted excitedly, her voice full of surprise.

I stared at the experimental screen and saw the values ​​rising steadily, and an indescribable excitement welled up inside me.

The light of hope burns brightly in our hearts, illuminating the path forward.

“Keep going, we’re getting closer and closer to success,” I said firmly to Xiao Wu and Old Liu.

Gong Lin gently hugged me from behind, his eyes filled with pride and love.

"Together, nothing is impossible," he said softly, his voice low and firm.

I turned back and smiled at him, my heart filled with warmth and strength.

The laboratory door was gently closed, and we continued to immerse ourselves in the tension and passion of the experiment, moving towards the dawn of hope.

The fluorescent tubes emitted a buzzing sound of electricity, mixed with the whooshing of the blower, like some strange march, accompanying our technical battle.

I stared intently at the numbers flashing on the screen, my heart pounding wildly.

0.01, 0.02, 0.03...

Every subtle change tugged at my nerves; sweat trickled down my temples and gathered into glistening beads on my chin.

"0.1! 0.15! It's still rising!" Xiao Wu's voice trembled with excitement. He gripped my arm tightly, his fingertips almost digging into my flesh.

I felt his hands were icy cold, yet they conveyed a burning excitement.

"It's stable! The numbers have stabilized!" Old Liu's voice trembled slightly. He adjusted his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses shone with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

The number on the display screen eventually stabilized at 0.2, which means that we have finally broken through the technical bottleneck that has plagued us for a long time!

I felt a tremendous joy welling up from the bottom of my heart, like a volcanic eruption, instantly sweeping over my entire body.

"We did it!" I couldn't help but shout, my voice echoing in the laboratory.

"We did it! We did it!" Xiao Wu cheered, jumping up excitedly and hugging Old Liu tightly. The two spun around excitedly.

The others cheered and jumped for joy, filling the laboratory with a happy atmosphere.

I felt like I was walking on clouds, light and airy, yet incredibly real.

Gong Lin walked to my side and gave me a warm hug.

"I knew you could do it," he whispered in my ear, his warm breath brushing against my ear and sending a tingling sensation through me.

I held him tightly, feeling the sense of security from his strong arms, and my heart was filled with happiness and gratitude.

The joy of successfully breaking through the bottleneck did not last long. Soon, we calmed down and began to analyze the experimental data.

Pointing to the data on the screen, Mr. Liu said in a deep voice, "Although we have achieved a crucial breakthrough, we are still some distance from our ultimate goal. The road ahead will be even more difficult."

His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing some of our enthusiasm, but also making us more aware that this battle is not over yet.

I took a deep breath and looked at Old Liu with a firm gaze. "I know, we are ready."

Old Liu nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, bring out the new experimental plan, let's continue."

Xiao Wu immediately returned to the computer and pulled up the new experimental protocol.

The sounds of instruments running filled the laboratory again, and the atmosphere became tense once more.

I walked over to Gong Lin and gently took his hand.

He squeezed my hand back and gave me an encouraging look.

I know that no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we will face them together and overcome them together.

Suddenly, the laboratory door was pushed open, and a panting figure appeared in the doorway...
