Chapter 52 We have to decide on this lab bench today
The two of them went to the school's open laboratory together. The space was very large, with 5 experimental stations at a glance. It was crowded with people, including seniors who were focusing on experimental operations, and freshmen like Su Nian who had just arrived and were full of curiosity and expectations.
Su Nian and Ye Yao walked and looked around. Ye Yao exclaimed: "Su Nian, this laboratory is really big!" Su Nian responded: "Yes, we must come here often to study in the future."
The storage room and the laboratory are placed together. The laboratory table is free, but the storage room charges 500 credit points per month. Su Nian stood at the door of the storage room. Although he felt a little painful about the fee, he paid it through the optical computer without hesitation. After all, these collected materials need to be stored and processed properly.
After paying the fee, Su Nian shook her head helplessly and began to look for a suitable lab table in the laboratory. Ye Yao followed closely behind her like a little tail.
Ye Yao changed her usual image of a young lady and said flatteringly: "Su Nian, when you do the experiment later, let me learn from you."
Su Nian glanced at her and knew that Ye Yao wanted to copy her homework, but she still said, "Okay, you read it carefully."
Finally, Su Nian found a relatively empty laboratory table and without saying a word, placed all the collected materials on it. The entire table was instantly filled up.
Su Nian was fully focused on processing the materials. She first picked up the black rhizome plant that emitted a pungent smell, frowning slightly. She put on special protective gloves and used a sharp knife to accurately cut off the roots and excess stems and leaves of the plant, leaving only the core part. Then, she put this part into a sealed container. There was a special chemical reagent inside the container that could neutralize the odor emitted by the plant and extract the effective ingredients.
Then, she picked up the Lingmeng grass. She carefully observed the veins of the leaves of Lingmeng grass, confirmed that there was no damage and pests, and then carefully picked the leaves one by one with a pair of small tweezers. She neatly placed each leaf on a tray, which was covered with a layer of moisturizing film to maintain the freshness and active ingredients of the leaves.
When she reached out to the head of the Shadow Beast, she couldn't help but sigh. The Shadow Beast only had two teeth left, and the others were taken away by the students who attacked it at the time. Su Nian shook her head helplessly and was about to continue dealing with it when the two brothers Zhang Kuang and Zhang Meng came over in a swagger.
"Hey, who told you to occupy our lab table!" Zhang Kuang shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder, instantly attracting the attention of many people around. His face was full of anger, his eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to spit fire.
Su Nian raised his head, looking confused.
Zhang Meng stepped forward, pointed at Su Nian and Ye Yao, and said angrily: "We use these two tables every time we do experiments. The whole school knows it. Don't you newcomers know the rules?"
When Ye Yao heard this, she immediately refused to do it. She put her hands on her hips and loudly retorted: "Who said that you can use it but others can't? First come, first served, don't you understand? This is not your business!"
Zhang Kuang crossed his arms across his chest and sneered, "Hmph, don't waste your time talking to them, just throw their stuff out!" As he said that, he was about to lift up the things on the table.
Su Nian hurriedly stopped them, "Don't mess around, let's talk it out! We are all classmates, there is no need to do this."
"Talk nicely? There's nothing to talk about. Get out of our way!" Zhang Meng pushed Su Nian hard, and Su Nian staggered and almost fell.
Su Nian stood firm, anger burning in his eyes, "You are going too far! This is clearly a public laboratory table, why do you have the right to say whatever you want?"
The two sides were deadlocked, neither side would give in. Zhang Kuang's eyes widened with anger, "We want this lab table today, you have to give it up even if you don't want to!"
Ye Yao did not back down, "We came here first, so we won't let you in! If you have the guts, go find another place!"
At this time, the students around looked at him sideways, but no one dared to step forward to persuade him. The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became tense, as if a little spark could set off a war.
Su Nian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "How about this, this lab bench is so big, we can each use half and not interfere with each other, how about that?"
Zhang Kuang snorted disdainfully, "Half? No! This entire surface is ours!"
Zhang Meng also echoed: "Yes, don't talk to them, drive them away quickly!"
Su Nian bit her lip. "We are all here to learn and experiment, why are you being so aggressive? We are not intentionally trying to take up your space, it's just first come first served, there has to be a reason."
Just then, a teacher came over and said, "Why are you making so much noise? The lab is a place for you to study and research, not for you to quarrel! Be quiet!"
Everyone calmed down for a while. The teacher looked at the situation and said, "Since you all want to use this lab table, then use it together, cooperate with each other, and complete the experiment together. Don't make a fuss over such a small matter."
Although Zhang Kuang and Zhang Meng were still reluctant, they did not dare to disobey the teacher's orders. They could only glare at Su Nian and Ye Yao angrily and begin to prepare for the experiment.
Su Nian and Ye Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to process their own materials. In the following experiment, although there were still some minor frictions between the two sides, under the supervision of the teacher, they also tried their best to restrain themselves and work hard to complete their respective tasks.
