Chapter 769: Chapter 410: Miracle in the Water Pipeline_2

"Whimpering!"

"Howling!"

"Whimpering!"

What kind of treasure is this!

Master held it, looking left and right, pondering for a moment, furrowing his brows, speaking softly.

"Fluid mechanics is a very strange science... Some special substances, once they adopt a particular configuration under certain conditions, can achieve speeds in fluid that exceed the fluid itself.

"For example, this thing, with one end pointed, one end round, and curves that are strange, forms such a configuration."

The apprentices all nodded, expressions serious!

Even though they didn’t understand what Master was talking about, it seemed impressive!

What exactly is this thing?

Is it a serial number Immortal Artifact?

How did it get into the water pipeline?

Master continued to explain.

"Our water pipelines are all enclosed.

"The wells use plant roots to draw water, and the medicinal fields use plant roots for water supply; sand can’t get in, rocks can’t get in, and neither can Immortal Artifacts.

"As for this white spindle-shaped object... it is..."

At this point, Bai Mo also found it peculiar.

"It’s... it’s a piece... of Water Rust!

"By chance, with its special shape, it was polished by flowing water, moving in the pipeline every day with the water supply and return cycles. One cycle a day, bumping into the pipe once a day.

"So, it’s not any Immortal Artifact. It’s just a piece of Water Rust."

The foxes exchanged glances.

"Whimpering?"

"Howling?"

Is the water rust from the boiling pot?

Bai Mo stared at the piece of Water Rust, inspecting the pipeline again.

"Uh... must be a coincidence."

He looked again at the shape of the Water Rust, examining its mass distribution and strange curves, noticing irregular holes and odd honeycomb structures on its surface, his gaze captured.

"It’s hard to believe, a naturally formed piece of Water Rust, after water polishing, its structure became harder and more solid!

"These irregular contours, honeycombs, holes... allow it to leverage the flow of water and move at speeds exceeding the water!

"Moreover, it even managed to break through the pipeline at Fox Mountain!"

You should know, the design strength of this pipeline is in no way inferior to the cast iron pipes of the present world!

One can only say that this piece of Water Rust is truly a natural creation, crafted as if by divine hands!

Every detail is imperfect, irregular, yet it is filled with harmony, possesses a bizarre aesthetic, and far surpasses ordinary Water Rust in performance!

"Probably very difficult to have another one like this.

"Quite interesting indeed!"

Bai Mo held it in his hands, smiling as he looked at it.

Even glancing once more at the pipeline... thinking if only another could appear, how great it would be!

Unfortunately, the appearance of such a thing requires numerous conditions and coincidences.

"I am willing to call it a miracle!"

Wanting the miracle to repeat, that can only be wishful thinking.

However, several fox apprentices, wrinkling their brows, looked at the Water Rust... didn’t really get an Immortal Artifact? Wouldn’t that mean they’ve lost out heavily?

"Whimper?"

"Howl?"

The master and apprentices all boarded the vehicle, preparing to return to Fox Mountain.

In the carriage, Bai Mo held the piece of Water Rust, still observing with comprehension.

Several fox apprentices looked back at the window, at the seemingly endless medicinal field stretching to the horizon, at the pipelines like blood vessels spread across the field, suddenly exchanged glances, eyes showing fear and anxiety, thinking of something unknown.

...

Outside the window, the cold wind was flying.

Inside the laboratory building, it was still warm as spring.

Step, step...

Footsteps sounded in the hallway, it was Bai Mo walking side by side wearing a white coat with Professor Zhang.

"...this really makes you overwork!

"Iron Lotus Leaf, Corpse Flower, all falling to you here.

"Add in your own factory’s Snow Lotus business, just thinking about it must be quite stressful!"

Bai Mo smiled lightly.

"No worries, the pressure isn’t much."

Professor Zhang sighed and gave a thumbs up.

"Expert Bai Mo, not only knowledgeable but high in awareness and realm!"

Bai Mo gave an awkward smile.

He wasn’t high in awareness, he genuinely felt little pressure... any Iron Lotus Leaf, Corpse Flower... he was familiar with them, how to develop them, to what extent he could develop them, he had ready answers in his mind. How much pressure could there be?

Professor Zhang continued.

"The Corpse Flower project is somewhat unique.

"We’ve been pestered by Old Zhao from Chunshan.

"You’re handling the research, funds and resources needed will be jointly funded by the West State Immortal Committee and Chunshan Immortal Committee.

"When results are achieved, the major part of the credit still goes to you."

He spoke quietly with Bai Mo as they arrived at the lab door.

"This time, Old Zhao has asked for quite a bit; he not only wants to be involved in the project but also sent a bunch of young professors and scholars, wanting to collaborate with you on this project.

"I guess they want to have this group finish learning the skills and then return to Chunshan to boost Chunshan’s Immortal Grass industry.

"After all, the climate there is special, the land extra fertile, Immortal Grass yield huge!"

Bai Mo nodded, he didn’t mind this... training more talents is definitely good.

As they reached the lab door, they heard voices inside, laughing and chatting, carrying a strong Chunshan accent, naturally amusing.

"Oh my, I’ve heard your Immortal Grass industry here is developed well?

"Immortal Elixir analysis, Immortal Grass cultivation, Immortal Elixir synthesis are all quite well?

"We are here for two main purposes!

"First purpose, to become ox and horse for you, for the project, you can use us to your heart’s content, don’t treat us as silver!

"Second purpose, to apprentice and learn, to acquire some powerful skills to bring back."

"We’ve also read Expert Bai Mo’s articles and heard his reports, they are truly top-notch!"

Squeak...

Bai Mo pushed open the lab door.

Inside was a roomful of white coats.

Some were from the original staff of the medicinal factory, while there were twenty unfamiliar faces.

The most noticeable one was both dark and fat, his white coat tightly stretched, almost popping the buttons, with short hair, looking towards the lab door.

Bai Mo smiled broadly, waving to greet everyone.

"Welcome everyone to the group!

"We have limited time and heavy tasks, so let’s keep the idle talk to a minimum.

"Firstly, I hope everyone understands, this project is quite complex, with high difficulty, not easy to grasp.

"To participate in the project, you need to first master certain knowledge and skills, familiarize with certain processes and operations.

"We don’t require you to be particularly proficient, but at least semi-proficient. Pure novices... are not useful for the project.

"Today, you’ll first get familiar with basic knowledge points, familiarize with the instruments, familiarize with the processes and operations.

"Tomorrow, we’ll officially start the project.

"I’ve brought some materials."

The dark fat man grinned, stepping forward.

"Hey hey hey, thanks Expert Bai Mo; is it possible to start learning right away?

"Where are the materials?"

Suddenly, the sound of a fox call came from below.

"Howl!"

The dark fat man looked down, seeing a small red fat fox holding a thick stack of files.

"Let me help!"

He bent over to take the stack of files, glancing to see the files bound into books, feeling puzzled.

Is this meant for twenty people?

One book per person?

Seems... there’s not much, right?

He heard Bai Mo continue.

"Thank you.

"You’ve brought twenty people from Chunshan, right?

"This stack includes knowledge points, articles, process diagrams, and some tool books, reference books, but it’s not necessary to read them all.

"Anyway... everything is annotated.

"You go to the print room and print nineteen copies of these files. One copy per person for each of you twenty."

Ah?

The dark fat man was stunned.

He looked at the stack, then at Bai Mo.

This stack is one person’s portion?

Bai Mo patted his shoulder.

"Study quickly, learn fast.

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, go find Professor Hong.

"But don’t get stuck in a rut; first understand the process and be able to operate, that’s best."

Under Bai Mo’s feet, the fox apprentice Coffee Ear looked at that stack of files, glanced at the laboratory, furrowed its brows, raised its Fox Claw, rubbed its chubby head, eyes flickering with anxiety and fear.

"Howl..."
