Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 77

The alcohol brought by a can of beer didn't stay in the blood for long. Walking on the campus in winter, quietness became the main theme.A basketball was left alone under the basketball hoop. Zhou Ziang lightly hooked it with his toes, and the basketball bounced lightly.

Warming up, dribbling, getting up for a layup, and hitting the basket, a series of coherent movements heated up the muscles of his whole body, and his hair became wet with sweat.

After arriving in the United States, Zhou Ziang's age has become a very dazzling label. In order to avoid being too conspicuous, he did not participate in the school basketball team anymore.

The Yunteng technique allows Zhou Ziang to bounce his body to any astonishing height as he pleases. Even Dan Qiao, the hottest talent in the North American Basketball League, is helpless when facing him.

There was a pair of figures walking towards the basketball court. From their appearance, they should be a couple in love.Zhou Ziang threw the basketball into the basketball hoop for the last time, his breathing was still steady, but the cold white air that came out of his mouth had turned into a transparent color.

"Michelle, do you really want to do this? Wouldn't it be too unfair," the man in the couple spoke with a somewhat stiff accent. What was surprising was that the couple still communicated in English first. Yes, after catching a glimpse of a figure on the court, he immediately switched to Chinese, and the conversation between the two seemed a bit secretive.

"Hao, there's nothing unfair about it. I'm not asking you to do bad things, but I just want you to take a look at the results of his experiment. I'm doing this for the future of both of us." Michelle speaks Chinese fairly well. Not very good, she has a Chinese face, but from the accent, she should be a student from Japan and South Korea.

The conversation between the two stopped, and they didn't continue until they saw the people on the basketball court walking two or 300 meters away.

They thought that this distance was safe enough, but unfortunately Zhou Ziang's hearing was much more sensitive than ordinary people's. As long as he wanted, the trees beside the basketball court and the dry grass under their feet could be his ears.

"Are you sure that the news is true, the results of this experiment will be adopted by Monsanto, and will be used for agricultural promotion." Zheng Hao left the large team of foreign students tonight just to be gentle with his new girlfriend, Unexpectedly, after the New Year's Eve dinner, his girlfriend Michelle brought a surprising news.

Dr. Shancel's research institute has just been acquired by Monsanto, the largest agricultural biological company in the United States, and the internal researchers will be uniformly transferred to official staff of Monsanto.Zheng Hao's family background is good, and an ordinary green card can't impress him, but if it is a position in a world-class biological company, the meaning will be quite different.

"That thesis was finished yesterday. That guy Yao Feng is very precious and has been kept in the bedside table. But tonight he probably invited a group of international undergraduate students to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so it's a good chance," Zheng Hao hugged his girlfriend tightly, Whispered with her.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, the basketball on the basketball court glowed with a glimmer of luster.

When Zheng Hao and Michelle walked to the postgraduate apartment, the international students were sitting on the ground in twos and threes.There are not enough sofas in the apartment, and many people, regardless of the cold weather, spread out newspapers casually, relying on a series of comic sketches on TV to keep out the cold.The postgraduate apartment is a conjoined apartment, with three rooms attached to a hall, kitchen and bathroom.Everyone's bedroom is independent, the hospitable Yao Feng is not in the living room at the moment, he is popping popcorn in the kitchen.

"Senior Zheng, are you back?" Zheng Hao nodded indiscriminately, and led his girlfriend upstairs.After Michelle released the news, Zheng Hao slipped into Yao Feng's bedroom, and then Zheng Hao left the apartment on the pretext of sending Michelle off.

"It's done, I'll take the information back to have a look," Michelle pouted, and kissed her boyfriend on the face.

Behind him, in Zheng Hao's room, the graduate student apartment that stood on the eve of the New Year's Eve, the window that could accommodate one person was opened, and the winter wind blew in.In the kitchen, there was a smell of buttered popcorn. Yao Feng was cutting the fruit that Zhou Ziang had brought over, chatting with each other. This elementary school boy was really interesting. Come with fruit.

Michelle bid farewell to her boyfriend, returned to the apartment impatiently, and called Helen, who was in the same group as her, to come over and review the papers together. Just as she opened the file bag containing the papers, the two female students looked at each other. There was no paper in the file bag, only A few blank pages.

"Damn Chinese Zhu," Michelle gritted her teeth, and threw the paper in her hand to the ground.

Helen pointed to the door, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, a beautiful girl was ushered in by a tall and handsome male student.

"Michelle, Helen heard that you have to come up with papers and test results tomorrow, it's better to rest early, so as not to be outcompeted by another group of students who are also from Asia." The girl's voice was slightly displeased, because She saw two foreign students looking at her new male partner behind her.

The two female international students nodded fawningly, Aisha walked into the door, and the male students quickly followed.

"What's so great," Michelle immediately withdrew her complimenting face and put on a mean face.

"Hey, the same person has different fate. Look at Aisha, she is a round younger than us, and the people chasing her can be lined up at the school gate. What's more annoying is that she is beautiful, has a good family background, and has a very good brain. , every research institute is scrambling to get her, and I also heard that Monsanto has already made her one of the internal appointments," Helen said with a smirk, but her eyes couldn't stop staring at Michele. I looked at my face.This time Monsanto has only two places, that is to say, besides Aisha, only one person can be selected.

"Hehe, fair competition is enough," Michelle had long since lost Zheng Hao in her mind, but now she still needs that man, since she couldn't get the thesis, she had to direct another scene tomorrow.In any case, she can't lose to the Chinese, can she?
On the first day of the new year in China, every household is still immersed in the lively atmosphere of the New Year, and Cornell University is already a busy scene.The weather is not good, today is a snowstorm.

As in previous years, after Christmas, there was snow on the campus.This winter is no exception. The entire campus is covered with layers of thick snow. The snow piled up by the cleaners is as high as an adult's knee. The used lawn has long since disappeared.

It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from the dormitory building to the teaching building where classes are held.If this were replaced by sunny spring with red flowers and green willows, the students would still be happy to trek for a while.But in such a snowy day, if you dare to take a breath, you can be choked by the snow, that is hard work.

The international students who were dizzy from drinking last night were trying their best to prepare their homework and meet the first round of exams at the end of the semester.Zhou Ziang's roommate got up early in the morning and put on a sweater and heavy cotton-padded trousers, but his hands and feet still couldn't get their temperature back.

The dormitory conditions for undergraduate students are worse than those for postgraduate students. There are double rooms, shared kitchen and bathroom, and an old-fashioned heater is struggling to produce some heat.

"I'm afraid it's minus seven or eight degrees outside today," the roommate muttered. He originally wanted to ask for leave today, but today there are two teachers who have to review for the end of the semester. Classes are important.

"Eighteen degrees Fahrenheit, the breath can turn into ice slag," Zhou Ziang said early, his coat was already put on, and he was ready to go.

"Why are you holding two coats?" The roommate stomped, seeing that Zhou Ziang was wearing a light gray woolen coat, and in his hand was a strange bulging duck down coat.He made a glass of milk, and thanks to Zhou Ziang's free alarm clock, it was difficult for him to be late and miss class.

"I borrowed it from senior Yao last night, and I'm going to send it back to him this morning," Zhou Ziang said, and opened the door. The wind was very strong, and when it blew in, it lifted a corner of the clothes. Pressed a few sheets of paper.

"Hey, you don't go to class. Today is a review class. Say yes" the roommate reminded from behind. Zhou Ziang had already gone far away. Looking out the window, he could see figures moving fast in the wind and snow, as if all around him. The wind and snow had no effect on him.

To the northwest of Cornell University, outside a Victorian teaching building, Yao Feng was wearing a hat and scarf, walking in the wind and snow, his vision was blocked by the wind and snow, he staggered and nearly fell to the ground, There was an extra hand on his arm, pulling him up.

"It's Junior Brother Zhou." Last New Year's Eve, Yao Feng was busy, his eyes were still bloodshot, and he looked very tired.Zhou Ziang seemed to say something, the wind and snow were too strong, and Yao Feng, who was wearing earmuffs, couldn't hear clearly at all.

The two walked into the teaching building together. Yao Feng quickly untied his scarf and hat, shook his head, and then looked at the coat in Zhou Ziang's hand. Can't help but smile, this elementary school boy looks young, but he does things quite well. For his age, this style of acting is quite good.

The two were talking when Yao Feng's mentor, Dr. Shancel, came over.Shancel is a half-balding German botanist in his early fifties. He has worked at Cornell University for more than ten years and has a good reputation in the academic circle.

"Oh, Yao Feng, have you already found a new partner? I received a sick call from Zheng Hao early in the morning, saying that he had a bad cold last night, and he couldn't make it to today's lab report." Dr. Shancel As soon as he received the call, he went downstairs to look for Yao Feng.

This sudden news shocked even a seasoned person like Yao Feng.How could Jack have a bad cold? When Yao Feng got up in the morning, he knocked on his door to remind him not to be late.Looking back now, it seems that no one in Zheng Hao's room responded.

"I" Yao Feng knew that it was useless to explain more, and Dr. Shancel didn't stop any longer. After the notification, he went to the office to find the people from Monsanto and the school who were jointly in charge of the assessment today.

On a very cold day, Yao Feng was covered in sweat. At this moment, he seemed to be standing naked in the snow.

Green card, and his girlfriend who had been waiting for him for seven years at home. He hurriedly walked to the shared telephone in the lobby, fumbled in his pocket, wanted to find some coins, and called his other classmates.The coin seemed to be fighting with his fingers, and the one that came out slipped back, making a cold hitting sound.

With a sound of "Kara", the coin was put into the slot. Zhou Ziang stood aside, the light in his eyes made Yao Feng feel at ease. He took out the phone book and flipped through the pages. , After a long time, the coin fell out of the coin outlet, Yao Feng sighed, and put away the phone book. "It's useless. Zheng Hao and I have always been in charge of this project. Even if other people want to help, they can't help."

"Senior Yao, I don't have class today. If you don't mind, I can act as your assistant," Zhou Ziang said in a very candid tone, which was like a boost to people's ears.Even so, Yao Feng also knew that he was doomed today, another group of research institutes Helen and Michelle walked past him and gave him a contemptuous look.

Yes or no.Zhou Ziang is still just a freshman, he has never been exposed to real botany courses, and he is not familiar with all kinds of experimental data and utensils, so he can only start with the simplest one.

Yao Feng smiled wryly, and glanced at the floor clock in the hall on the first floor of the teaching building. The time had already pointed to nine o'clock, "Okay, today's project is about defoliants. Defoliants are the most common herbicides. It is applied." After saying a few words quickly, Yao Feng led Zhou Ziang into the lecture room, a modified laboratory.

In the memory of "Zhou Ziang" body, there are still some memories of previous biology and chemistry classes, and it is Yun Guanzi's first contact with a real laboratory.In the laboratory, there are microscopes and a series of chemical solvents.Unlike ordinary plant science majors, Dr. Shancel's research is applied botany, which integrates two fields of chemistry and biology.

Zhou Ziang walked into the laboratory, and another group of researchers, Helen and Michelle, were ready and stood in front of the experimental table. After seeing them, they mocked: "Benjamin, it's not the Chinese Association now, Where did you find the elementary school brother, you Chinese are not rigorous in doing things, right?" Helen gave Michelle a thumbs up in secret, unexpectedly she really filled Zheng Hao's soup, making him even I lost my future and missed this test.

"He's also a student of plant ecology, and he came here to take care of the experiment for me." Yao Feng felt a little flustered, picked up a measuring cup in his hand, and was about to test the base solution everywhere, when his fingers felt sore, the measuring cup fell off. On the ground, shattered on the ground.

The faucet was turned on immediately, and Zhou Ziang quickly put Yao Feng's water under cold water to rinse. Yao Feng frowned, his finger had been cut open, and the concentrated nitric acid solution was washed away in the water.

"I'm sorry, but our experimental vessels need to be replaced," Zhou Ziang asked to change the experimental vessels.

"Where are so many things coming from? I think you don't even know how to use the test utensils," Michelle and Helen laughed while talking, gloating at Yao Feng whose fingers were swollen.He should thank them, if it were replaced with sulfuric acid, his whole hand would be lost.

Those two foreign female students had tampered with their experimental utensils.

"If you don't want to change, then please use our utensils." Zhou Ziang said, put on his gloves, and wanted to exchange the utensils on both sides.

"It's really not a gentleman." Helen glanced at the door, and could only allow Zhou Ziang and the others to take another pair of experimental equipment from the closet in the classroom.After Zhou Ziang changed the utensils, he still held the gauze and bandage in his hand, and simply bandaged Yao Feng.

Dr. Shancel walked in with the members of today's assessment team. Seeing Yao Feng's bandaged hands, he was also stunned. Unlike many proud foreign tutors, Shancel liked the hard work and hard work of Chinese students.For Yao Feng, he also praised Yao Feng a lot before the assessment, why is it so often today?

Zhou Ziang also received several gazes.Two of them were from Michelle and Helen, the other was from a Nordic man with a rigid face and a hooked nose, and the last line of sight was from an American girl.

Aisha sat with representatives of Mengshan Company and saw Zhou Ziang.

She was first surprised that the person who participated in the researcher application looked younger than her, but she soon recognized the boy, who was the one who left the class schedule in the library yesterday.

"Junior Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm afraid my hands are not suitable for experimenting. Today's assessment is to prepare a pair of improved defoliants. The finished product is roughly orange, can you do it?" Yao Feng's fingers ached, The skin had already festered, but he insisted on finishing the experiment and explaining the report before going to the infirmary.

Zhou Ziang didn't try to dissuade him any more. Yao Feng is a stubborn person. Let alone hurt his finger today, even if his hand is broken, he still has to persevere.
