Of course, Alice's real physical fitness would not be consumed so simply. After simply filling her stomach with a hamburger, she continued to fight as the main force of the porter team. Not only did she carry cardboard boxes, but also assembled equipment, put out the basic laboratory shape, etc. After a whole afternoon of busyness, all the work was finally solved.

"Successful!"

As he shouted, an exaggerated potted plant was finally moved into the seventh underground floor of this huge villa.

"Yes, my dear Huahua?"

"I knew I was almost exhausted."

As he said, Xixi lay lazily on a chair, looking at the potted plant.

There is no doubt that it is the mysterious flower Alice found in the swamp.

However, although this flower bud is not big, its root system is amazingly developed, with dozens of roots more than one meter long... Maybe it should be thankful that it is a swamp plant after all, not a desert plant? Anyway, the flower pot used to hold it must be big enough. Only a small flower or a porcelain pot, that is, Alice has the energy to move it in.

Ashley sat on a swivel chair and turned back and forth: "Put the problem of this flower aside first. Is the laboratory layout OK? Would it be too messy?"

The area of ​​this room is about 1,000 square feet, which is slightly larger than a standard apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. As the current main laboratory area, the most valuable thing is the seven high-end centrifuges. Of course, except for glassware such as microscopes, computers, and measuring cylinders and beakers, there are also tables, chairs and benches at all, just...

"Let's just put it like this first."

Facing the decorations inside the house that looked like medical warehouses, Alice laughed and said, "You know, we don't even hire professional researchers now. If I am the only one, it's easy to say."

Wuya was standing in front of a table, looking at a centrifuge that had not yet removed the plastic packaging: "Declare in advance, the four of us are absolutely incapable of helping you. Since your brain is so developed, even if you let university professors be interns, right? I don't think I can help, Sissi, Ashley, what do you think?"

Both girls nodded repeatedly, and Alice looked at her watch and said, "It's getting late today, so you guys hurry up and go home to bed. I've graduated a long time ago, but you guys still have to go to school. Don't get up the next morning."

As soon as these words came out, Xixi was the first to jump out of the chair, as if she had forgotten her previous fatigue: "I'm still saying it! How many questions can I do during the days off I have asked for? Let's go, Wuya, you only have a driver's license here. Alice looks like she is going to spend the night here, where are you?"

Of course, Maiya nodded, and Ashley also stood up lazily: "It doesn't matter to me~ It's no big deal to have a day off. Hello, Alice, are you going to start the experiment right away?"

"That's certain."

Alice touched the bud in bud that was about to bloom at hand: "I didn't see that bag. I've already sliced ​​a rhizome and waited for these things to study as soon as they arrived!"

"Well, then I'll stay here to accompany you. Xixi, are you jealous?"

Even if you are jealous, it is not important to go to school. The situations of the two girls are still very different. Since Eaton has asked Ashley for help in the registration exam, if Sissi still has poor grades, it would be too unreasonable.

In this way, Wuya and Sissi immediately waved goodbye. When they walked out the door, the buzzing sound of the elevator gradually drifted away, and the two girls quickly left the seventh floor underground.

“Wow!

As soon as the sound of rising and falling disappeared, Alice screamed strangely and said to Ashley: "Then man, I'm going to do experimental slices here. What do you want to do?"

Ashley naturally had nothing to do. Seeing Alice unable to wait to disassemble the microscope, she said, "You can do whatever you want. But Alice, what secrets are you planning to discover in this flower?"

"Of course, why can it block my mental power, or there may be any other secrets, it depends on what you can find."

Alice was busy doing various experimental preparations, and said by the way: "And Ashley, don't you think Caesar is also very valuable for research?"

"Caesar..."

Ashley murmured thoughtfully.

Of course, everyone knows how special it is for the orangutan you met last summer.

Of course there is a zoo in Los Angeles, and no one has seen what a chimpanzee should be like.

So in comparison, Caesar's various behaviors are much more advanced than ordinary chimpanzees.

It can use toilets, and after only seven teachings, it learns the basics, and there is no cost to a banana.

It knew to snap the box on the lid after eating the nuts, and also to close the trap door when returning to the loft bedroom.

It even knows that when you are led and walk, you should keep your master close to you and not disturb the children.

Such a very special little guy does have the potential to be studied. Ashley knows more clearly that if any biologist knows Caesar's existence, he will definitely make the same choice.

"That's right."

In this way, the research officially began.

That night was the moment when the great scientist Alice first transformed into a botanist. In fact, from an outsider's perspective, this was a waste of money like a prodigal girl. The equipment bought for a total of millions of dollars was placed in a scattered manner in the depths of the seventh floor underground, just for the curiosity that some people had on a whim. If this willful behavior was placed in any normal and ordinary family, it would have to be scolded by their parents.

Ashley was curious at the beginning. For example, when Alice operated a super-high-speed centrifuge worth tens of thousands and struggled to use sliced ​​cells from the rhizome of flowers for the first time, the excitement was still very good. But over time, she became tired of it.

At 9:30 in the evening, she was lying in a hammock and looking through today's newspaper. Not far away, Alice was still staring at the microscope, not knowing what was good about those plant cells.

“…House prices have risen again.”

At this moment, Ashley is watching financial news, and this issue is a hot topic in Japan's recent investment.

"In three months, it has risen by seven percentage points? Tsk tsk, although it is a little lower than 10% in the previous three months, but this is the housing price..."

Since the signing of the Plaza Agreement last year, Japan's investment community has become hot. As the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar continues to rise, led by major consortium capitalists, a large number of rich people are investing their funds in the stock market and housing markets. The rising prices have also driven investment from the civilian class. According to newspaper statistics, in recent times, bank micro-loans have seen huge growth rates, and a new round of investment boom will come at any time.

"Hey, Alice, look at this news. Murdoch bought a high-end apartment in Ginza, and that's eight million dollars. Alice?"

Unheard the answer, Ashley looked up at the experimental equipment.

I don’t know how long it lasted, but Alice has been in the observation microscope, and this is not an ordinary observation. There are many unscrupulous things on the computer next to the instrument, and that is...

"Inside the cell?"

The rumored electron microscope is something Ashley is very rare. She came to Alice gently and whispered: "Have you found anything?"

I didn't think Alice would answer anything, but she suddenly said: "It's useless to ask me now. It's the first time I'm playing science observation. The rhizome and stem cells alone are enough for me to see."

Ashley nodded repeatedly. She is now a ninth-grade high school student, and the school also offers biology practice classes. She is still aware of this aspect: "What is the resolution of an electron microscope?"

"Zero point two nanometers, a thousand times that of ordinary optical microscopes."

Ashley looked at the computer display and did have a very unscrupulous cell pattern on it, but in terms of her pitiful biological attainments, being able to distinguish the nucleus is already the limit, and nothing else can be understood.

"I remember... Mr. Sanmer in our class said that the observation samples of electron microscopes must be processed specifically?"

As he said this, Ashley looked around. The current laboratory layout is of course relatively simple, just because everyone puts the relevant instruments on the table. Apart from expensive equipment such as ultra-high-speed centrifuges, the surrounding environment is really not much different from ordinary high school chemistry laboratories.

Just on the table next to it, the measuring cylinder beaker was arranged in an orderly manner, obviously looking like it had just been used.

"It requires special treatment. When I was preparing just now... Oh, you are reading the newspaper."

Alice stared at the microscope without raising her head and staring at the microscope, an optical version of her colleague, instead of staring at the computer screen connected to the electron microscope next to her.

"According to different research requirements, there are many treatment methods. For example, fixing, in order to try to preserve the sample as it is, glutaraldehyde is used to harden the sample, or osmium acid is used to stain the fat; for example, cold fixing, the sample is frozen in liquid ethane so that the water will not crystallize and form amorphous ice, which can cause the sample to be damaged relatively less, but the contrast of the image is very low. For example..."

"Ah~ I don't understand it or not! Tell me when I can find any secrets!"

Alice raised her head and smiled at Ashley, who was depressed.

"Dear, although I am a director and screenwriter, we are not shooting third-rate science fiction movies now. You can immediately discover some secrets as soon as you put a certain sample into the laboratory. Do you think I am directly dealing with zombie viruses?"
