[GESD] Chapter 396: Already Written
Sep 13
Everyone deeply agreed.
Lu Daoxing sighed, "Little Qin, my Drill Cabin doesn't have enemy-detection functions. You don't know what kind of God might be nearby. Aren't you afraid that while moving underground, you might run into something like the Sacrificial Giant Vine?"
"Sacrificial Giant Vine?", Qin Siyang didn't take it seriously, "If I run into a Sacrificial Giant Vine, I can get away. I've got experience with that."
"I was just listing one type of large God. There are other possibilities. If you run into one that's strong in speed and endurance, you definitely won't survive."
Qin Siyang used his freshly healed index finger to scratch his nose, not answering.
The professors could all tell that Qin Siyang hadn't taken Lu Daoxing's advice to heart.
Hao Liang chuckled, "When I was young, I was also reckless like Little Qin."
"Forget it, going from reckless to steady always takes a process."
Chang Tianxiong asked, "But what if Little Qin always stays like this, walking a tightrope? Won't he eventually trip?"
"Not necessarily."
Zhang Kuang ran his fingers through his messy long hair, "Maybe Little Qin can rely on this reckless spirit to soar straight into the sky?"
"Winning steady is just what we ordinary researchers think. But there's always another path."
"Everyone knows, Zhu Haifeng is rarely in the safe zone. The amount of rare materials he has must be astronomical."
"I even suspect that if we put all our bottom-drawer stuff together, it still wouldn't add up to half of his."
"Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat tunnels. Little Qin has already proven his way works, so let him keep going."
Zhang Kuang's words clearly eased the professors' worried looks.
Yes, everything Qin Siyang had done so far left them stunned.
Using their own experiences to teach him how to act seemed a little too conservative, not quite suitable.
"Old Zhang's right. Little Qin's path, let him walk it himself."
"That's right, we shouldn't worry too much. Flowers grown in a greenhouse usually shatter at a touch."
Qin Siyang bowed to the professors, "I understand your concern and worry, and I'm truly grateful."
"But I also have my own worries and considerations, and I'm just as grateful for your understanding."
Zhang Kuang patted Qin Siyang's head, smiled, and said nothing.
The other professors also smiled kindly, looking at this rising junior.
Zhang Kuang spoke again, "Little Qin, do you still have Blue Water Glazed Star Ore? If you do, give each of them a portion. We'll research from our own fields and see if it has any application potential."
"For now, let's put Blue Water Glazed Star Ore into research. If it turns out to have high adaptability and value, we'll tell you right away."
"I do! One gram each, is that enough?"
"Enough."
Qin Siyang took out Blue Water Glazed Ore and distributed a gram to each professor.
When it came to Zhang Kuang, he waved his hand, "I don't research this kind of stuff. Save this one for Old Li when he comes back."
At the mention of Old Li, Qin Siyang had another thought, "Professors, do you think this Blue Water Glazed Star Ore could replace the Yellow-Silver Star Ore Old Li needs?"
"Replace Yellow-Silver Star Ore?"
Hao Liang rubbed the ore with his fingers, instantly scattering shimmering blue crystals.
"This Blue Water Glazed Ore is way too brittle, nowhere near the hardness of Yellow-Silver Star Ore. No way it can substitute."
Lu Daoxing added, "Although both ores contain gray-white substance, it only looks the same. Their inner composition is very different. Mutual substitution isn't likely."
"Besides, whether Blue Water Glazed Star Ore can even be applied in research is still unknown. Yellow-Silver Star Ore, on the other hand, is like Crimson Crystal. Versatile and outstanding across many fields."
In short, the two can't be put on the same level for now.
"Alright…"
Qin Siyang was a little disappointed.
Looks like without Yellow-Silver Star Ore, Li Tianming's predicament still couldn't be solved.
As for that larger piece of Blue Water Glazed Star Ore containing the strange shard-like material, Qin Siyang had no intention of taking it out yet.
The road has to be walked step by step, meals eaten bite by bite.
Once the professors confirmed the value of Blue Water Glazed Star Ore, it wouldn't be too late to contribute it for research.
"Right, Director Zhang, about that research contribution matter of mine…"
"Don't worry, each of us already wrote one or two papers, ready to be published."
"These papers don't have much major impact, so the review process should be fairly quick."
"Since you're here at the lab, we'll just take a few photos of you doing research. When the papers come out, we'll attach them, so people won't gossip."
Qin Siyang smiled, "There will always be gossip. Besides, I haven't really contributed much. Being gossiped about is unavoidable."
Lu Daoxing said earnestly, "Little Qin, your attitude toward gossip is good. But that's not the truth. Without your support, we'd still be running ragged collecting materials. How can you say you haven't contributed?"
"It's just that contributions made in the lab are more easily accepted by everyone. Honestly, if you had the guts to put up a photo of you hunting Gods outside the safe zone, you could still be listed as second or third author."
"No one's done that before, but nothing says you can't."
Qin Siyang waved his hands quickly, "No no no, better not stand out like that."
In the end, Qin Siyang accepted Zhang Kuang's suggestion and posed for some photos in different labs.
Qin Siyang was curious what the papers he'd be listed on would look like.
But the professors didn't really want to show him.
After he pleaded again and again, sincerely begged, and finally threatened to cut off their material supply, the professors at last agreed to let him see.
When he finally looked at the research papers, the more he read, the more dazed he became.
"Optical Properties of Crimson Crystal and Its Applications in Laser Technology."
"Effect of Vine-Heart Surface Treatment on Its Catalytic Performance."
"Study on Biocompatibility and Efficacy of Titan Grass Inner Leaves as Drug Carriers."
"Exploring the Thermoelectric Properties of Crimson Crystal and Vine-Heart Composite and Its Prospects in Energy Applications."
"Thermal Stability of Corroded Black Centipede Exoskeleton and Its Application in High-Temperature Materials"
'Huh?'
Qin Siyang's eyes narrowed.
These papers, why does it feel like, whether or not there are photos of him doing experiments, he could still be listed as an author?
The core materials in these papers were all things he had recently provided them, weren't they?
Without him, where would these papers even exist?
'What "already written," my ass!'
Obviously they had all been rushed in the last few days.
He was just about to confront the professors, but realized they had already each slipped away, pretending to be busy in their labs.
Qin Siyang snorted.
"Most heartless are the bookish ones!"
