Chapter 164 Back to World 1: Hexagonal Warrior
Yan Jincheng led a few people and cautiously approached the experimental chamber. His bright eyes burned with a fiery flame, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Everyone, please look, this is the most perfect result of our painstaking efforts!"
Yin Zui stared intently at the mermaid baby in the cabin, his brows slightly furrowed. There was always an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't express clearly what it was.
Qi Yi had always been impatient, and once his curiosity was piqued, he couldn't contain it any longer. He immediately asked whatever was on his mind: "Look, is she in a bad mood? Her eyes are so dull and lifeless, just like those of us who stayed up all night to finish our papers!"
Hearing this, Yan Jincheng couldn't help but smile slightly and patiently explained to everyone, "We've conducted a comprehensive and detailed examination on her. She's very healthy both physically and mentally, but she's a little introverted."
At this time, Xu Guanqi, who had been silent all the time, silently glanced at Yan Jincheng, pursed his lips, and still did not express any opinions.
Chao Zhuyi then asked, "Does this little mermaid have a name?"
Yan Jincheng nodded without hesitation, his face brimming with pride and anticipation. "Of course, Bud Lillian! This name signifies purity and hope. It's no exaggeration to say that she will become a shining star of the future in the entire interstellar world!"
As he spoke, Yan Jincheng once again turned his gaze to the mermaid cub in the experimental chamber, but at this moment, a hint of madness appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Chao Zhuyi stood aside, her eyes fixed on everything unfolding before her, her heart growing tense. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she asked, "Is she going to be trapped in this tiny lab forever?" A hint of worry and confusion lingered in her voice.
Yan Jincheng shook his head slightly and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Lillian is our laboratory's most precious treasure! To provide her with the most suitable living environment, we've specially allocated an entire floor for her. We've meticulously simulated the ecological environment of the ancient Blue Star's ocean to ensure she can live and grow happily here."
"And right now, she's staying in the experimental chamber just to complete some necessary daily inspections." Yan Jincheng said, turning his gaze to the mermaid cub that had completed the inspection.
An experimenter, wrapped head to toe in a thick protective suit, carefully and gently carried the mermaid out of the experimental chamber, as if she were a rare treasure. Then, the experimenter, holding the mermaid, slowly walked towards the ocean layer.
"That's Lillian's professional caregiver. She's fully responsible for taking care of Lillian's daily life." Yan Jincheng introduced her to everyone while leading the five of them to follow the caregiver from a distance.
At this time, the little mermaid was extremely well-behaved. She hugged the keeper's neck tightly with her two little hands. She neither cried nor made a fuss. She just snuggled quietly in the keeper's arms. She looked particularly quiet and docile, just like an exquisite and lovely porcelain doll.
In the ocean layer, two-thirds of the space is a simulated ocean environment, and the remaining one-third is an observation room. Everyone stands outside the huge transparent ocean cabin and watches the mermaids inside from all directions.
This ocean cabin is like an enlarged version of the water tank in the ancient Blue Star Aquarium. Outside are tourists watching, and inside are little mermaid babies who cannot see the blue sky.
Yan Jincheng took the light screen and told them a lot about the research situation. Yin Zui, Qi Yi and Chao Zhuyi were confused. There was really too much data.
Qi Le barely understood a little bit, while Xu Guanqi went from having no expression at first to frowning later, looking at Yan Jincheng thoughtfully.
On the first day, they went to see the legendary mermaid with great anticipation. However, they seemed to gain no valuable information or discoveries, which inevitably left them feeling a little disappointed. However, before returning to their lodgings, the five curious team members, still reluctant to leave, ran to bid farewell to the lovely mermaid.
When they arrived at the mermaid's location, Lillian remained unresponsive. She simply sat there quietly, her eyes empty and lost, as if she had lost her soul. This realization left the five people, who had been so excited, feeling a sense of loss and frustration.
With a heavy heart, they slowly returned to their own residence. According to tradition, they would hold a summary meeting at the end of each day to exchange their experiences and ideas.
Xu Guanqi carefully closed the doors and windows and quickly installed the jammer to ensure that no one could eavesdrop on what they were about to say.
His expression was extremely solemn. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "That young man doesn't live up to his reputation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them suddenly widened their eyes as if struck by lightning, their faces filled with astonishment.
They all looked around at the same time, and after confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, they took out several shielding devices from their backpacks and threw them on the table.
Then, several people's heads involuntarily moved closer together, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
At this moment, the impatient Yin Zui could no longer suppress his inner doubts and asked impatiently, "Tell me about it?"
Qi Le nodded slightly, agreeing with Xu Guanqi's opinion, and continued, "Yes, I feel the same way. When he was explaining the experimental data to us, he was almost reading the materials in his hand word for word. Although his movements were not very obvious, as someone who has given many speeches and also minored in speech psychology, I could still easily detect the clues."
"Before we officially took over this mission, our superiors clearly revealed a very important piece of information to us: Yan Jincheng accompanied the researchers in carrying out the experiments from beginning to end."
"What's quite surprising is that when asked about his own experiments, Yan Jincheng acted incredibly cold and rigid, like an emotionless robot reciting scripts. His words were filled with stiff official language, devoid of any unique insights or genuine feelings."
“Even those researchers who seem insignificant often have their own unique experiences and insights while participating in experiments.”
The road of scientific exploration is never smooth; it is inevitably filled with twists and turns, hardships, and countless attempts and failures. Each success or setback leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of these researchers, ultimately transforming them into valuable experience.
But what about Yan Jincheng? As the core figure and one of the main researchers of the entire project, he didn't even reveal a single personal feeling!
Xu Guanqi frowned and added seriously, "Did you know that when he was analyzing the data, that 10,000-word lab report contained 1031 technical terms?"
"Turns out, he mispronounced 234 of them! 234 in total! All wrong! Even more outrageous, he linked those 532 nouns to relevant data. That can't even be described as a mistake; it's completely irrelevant!"
Having said that, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, his face revealing that kind of obvious and undisguised disgust.
The four of them looked at Xu Guanqi in surprise. This was the first time they had seen him look like that. This showed just how low Yan Jincheng's professionalism really was!
Speaking of talented young men, the truly formidable master has to be this one from their team. However, Xu Guanqi has always kept a low profile.
If he had not chosen the relatively unpopular paleontology as his research direction, but instead acted as high-profile as Yan Jincheng, it is likely that Yan Jincheng would not be the one who is so popular and outstanding on the Internet today.
