Chapter 151 Harold: I want a big one
On Monday morning, while Harold was tearing scones into small pieces and soaking them in coffee, he listened to Kavi talking about his first collaboration with Sino last weekend.
"The properties of several materials with good compatibility are similar, and the properties of several materials with complementary properties are not very compatible," Kawi said while eating. He swallowed the food and quickly took a sip of coffee and pounded his chest hard.
"Ahem... I can't stand it anymore! We can't let El Haisen make breakfast anymore!! We can't let that guy take advantage of us. When it's his turn, we'll wake him up an hour early and kick him out, and tell him to buy ready-made food for us!"
Kavi complained, then followed Harold's example and dipped the scones into the coffee.
"If you add more sugar, it will taste better, senior." Harold began to pass on his experience to Kavi.
"Really?" Kavi put the scone soaked with coffee into his mouth and took a deep sip. He indeed felt that the aroma and sweetness of the coffee were diluted a lot by the bland scone, so he followed Harold's advice and added two spoonfuls of sugar into the cup.
"Senior Senor has tried all the materials I have. Harold, you have no idea how much materials we used in two days."
Kavi stirred the liquid in the cup with a long-handled coffee spoon. He felt guilty when he thought that most of the materials in his studio were generously sponsored by Harold. He even spoke in a lower voice.
"But those failed products are not all waste. Senior Senor is going to take some of them. He said he would go to Sipandama Academy to ask if anyone wants them... If they can be sold, I will return all the recycled Mora to you, and I will owe you the rest..."
"Okay, then from now on I will be your creditor. Since this is the first time, I won't charge you interest." Harold said jokingly.
"What? Do you want to charge me interest in the future?!" Kavi was so shocked that he almost dropped the cake in his hand.
Harold said calmly: "Interpersonal relationships and business should be handled separately."
"Hey, hey, don't suddenly start talking like El Haisen!"
Kavi shuddered and came to his senses. He glanced at Harold with dissatisfaction, and then turned the topic back to the refining of new materials.
"...At present, the compatibility of ores and other natural materials is higher than that of the remains of elemental life forms. The closer the properties are, the better the compatibility is. If you insist on combining materials with very poor compatibility, you may get a material that only meets the requirements in appearance, but the actual properties are biased towards one of them...
Although all our experiments last week failed, our senior from Sino said that we don’t have to change the materials. We can add ‘seeds’ to ‘transformation’. As long as we find the right seeds, we can complete our idea.”
You want to find the Philosopher's Stone, right?
How did this topic suddenly head towards the field of mysticism?
Haroldt complained in his mind, and then asked, "So, do you plan to extend the original project time?"
"I didn't really want to," Kawi said hesitantly. "I was planning to graduate this year. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's postponed to next year. It won't affect me much. But in a few months, new students will be enrolled, and there will be many places in the college that will need carts."
Haroldt thought that perhaps he could try to use petroleum to make one of the synthetic materials, but after Ms. Alice gave him the three anchors, she never contacted him again, as if she had completely forgotten about placing anchors for him near the oil field.
Harold knew that Ms. Alice would not go back on her promise, but she might put it off until a month or half a year later.
"We'll try for a while. If it doesn't work, we'll submit a few samples that we've already made. Once we improve the raw materials, we'll apply to the Ministry of Education to replace all the vehicles in the academy."
Seeing that Harold remained silent, Kavi continued to speak, but he knew that if he did so, the success rate of the review would be very low.
In the afternoon, Harold came to the booth of Amyrido College to exchange shifts with several freshmen. After those young boys greeted him politely, they rushed out hand in hand, and they didn't even have time to run a little further before they let out excited screams.
"It's disturbing my ears." Tinari, who also came to take over the shift, covered his ears and said with a frown.
“This batch of freshmen is particularly lively.”
Haroldt replied casually, and then chatted with Tinari about some family matters. When he heard Tinari say with some regret that "the flowers I planted are about to expire",
He said: "My sweetscented thyme and mint have also passed their flowering period, which means I have to postpone the next round of experiments to next year."
"...your experiment, huh." Speaking of this, Tinari couldn't help but chuckle. He knew that Harold was talking about the hybridization experiment of the Liar Flower, Mint and Sweet Flower. Every time the teacher mentioned this, his expression was not good.
After laughing, Tinari shook his head and discussed this issue seriously with Harold:
"It's really troublesome. Our climate means that the flowering period of these two plants will be shortened and the activity of pollen will be reduced. Shipping ready-made pollen from other countries... Let's not talk about the cost. After a few months of drifting on the sea, even the most beautiful flowers will be ruined."
"So in order to ensure that I can have fresh pollen available at any time throughout the year, I plan to build a cultivation room in the chemical city," said Harold.
Tinari: “Okay, you plan to invite me to invest?”
Harold: "Well, coming?"
Tinari raised an eyebrow.
It’s not that Amyrido College doesn’t have culture rooms that can adjust temperature and simulate various environments, but because many scholars’ research is in the field of planting, their topics and papers are more or less related to the climate, so countless scholars apply to use the culture rooms every year. It is said that the available places are now scheduled for five years later.
So when Tinari heard Harold's proposal, he was not very surprised, but quickly began to calculate how much money he could come up with.
We need to buy land, thermostats, fertilizers, and divide the site into areas... Well... I'd better discuss it with the teacher first. If the teacher thinks it is necessary and is willing to support us, I can squeeze out the annual living expenses my parents give me and build a smaller cultivation room. It should be no problem...
Fortunately, I have never wasted money since I entered school, but I can't rent equipment from Dolly anymore, Tinari thought.
"Then let's build something smaller." / "I'm going to build a big one."
The voices of Tinari and Harold overlapped.
