The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742: 295 lab’s golden thigh!_1

Zhou Wenqing had been researching this project for several years.

Most domestic laboratories focused their superconductivity research on nickel, with few studies on palladium; Zhou Wenqing’s team’s simulated calculation results had already predicted this possibility.

But palladium is a precious metal, and the experiment team’s annual usage is regulated.

Jiang University’s resources have always been among the best in domestic institutions, generously supporting various laboratories; even palladium is allocated to them each year, but this was far from sufficient for Zhou Wenqing.

Every year, he would go to Dean Huang to complain in order to ensure his team members graduated smoothly.

However, metals have always been scarce domestically, and resources are limited; Zhou Wenqing knew that even the university president was helpless in this situation.

They measured palladium usage by the gram.

This was the first time someone had discussed with him using “jin” (catty).

It was akin to an ordinary person hearing about “a thousand jin” of gold.

Zhou Wenqing doubted his ears, “Bai student, what did you say?”

Bai Lian’s relationship with Wang Youfeng was special, not only because of the life-saving incident that night but also because of Wang’s grandmother’s companionship and assistance in her later years; and as for Ning Xiao, there was no need to mention.

Debts of gratitude are difficult to repay.

Palladium purification was no easy task; this was Bai Lian’s first time making an inquiry. Wang Youfeng didn’t have much stock on hand, so he mobilized warehouses from various locations to procure this quantity for Bai Lian.

“How much do you approximately need?” Bai Lian realized that 100 jin was a bit too much. She gave it some thought and, tapping on her phone, calmly explained, “I have an uncle who specializes in this business, and he can invest in our laboratory.”

“Roughly,” Zhou Wenqing came back to his senses and said a number he thought was preposterous, “Three…”

“Thirty jin?” Bai Lian nodded, “Okay, I’ll arrange for you, it should arrive in a few days.”

Zhou Wenqing watched Bai Lian leaving the office, then picked up the cup in his hand; he silently withdrew the “kilograms” he intended to say.

Bai Lian preferred to describe it in traditional jin, while Zhou Wenqing preferred the scientific gram.

Three thousand grams, which was roughly what he applied for from the school every year.

The door closed.

On the side, the assistant heard the “thirty jin” from Bai Lian’s mouth, which was thirty jin of the experimental material palladium, not thirty jin of “cabbage.”

The office ambiance, which had been very tense just a second ago, now took on a fantastical air.

If other students told him about thirty jin, Zhou Wenqing might just laugh it off, but Bai Lian… _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
