943 You Cannot Touch Anything Inside
Lu Jingye asked Little Loli, “You said the person you were following received a bottle. What is contained in it?”
“It’s the source of the virus.”
Zi Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. “It’ll be easier if we have the source.”
At least they would be able to save some time if that was the case.
!!Zi Yi said to Little Loli, “Bring Qin Ze and that man to… bring them to the second laboratory.”
“Ok.”
Zi Yi put away her phone and said to the others, “Now that we have the source of the virus, the experiment will be much simpler.”
“However, you have nothing in the laboratory right now. The equipment you need will take at least ten hours before it is delivered. What should we do during this period of time?” Speaking of this, Dou Zerui suddenly thought of something extremely important. “The Count was mingling around so enthusiastically with the guests at the banquet today. Would everyone he touched get infected by the virus then?”
His questions resulted in a change in everyone’s expressions.
“Even if everyone is really infected, there’s nothing we can do but wait.”
Zi Yi was helpless since she did not have any tools to work with.
“I’ll go take a look at the Third Princess’ laboratory later. You guys return to the winery first.”
With that, Zi Yi took out her phone and gave the Third Princess a call.
The Third Princess was surprised to receive Zi Yi’s phone call. Upon learning that Zi Yi wanted to visit the laboratory right now, she agreed readily.
After they made arrangements to meet outside the school gates, they ended the phone call.
Lu Jingye was worried about Zi Yi going alone and so he said, “I’ll send you there.”
“No need. It’s safer for you to return to the winery.” Zi Yi pulled his hand and said, “You can go back and check whether there is an outbreak of this virus elsewhere. The most important thing is the diamonds we purchased from South Africa. I feel that someone will definitely make use of this.”
Lu Jingye had already anticipated this to happen and he nodded his head. “Be careful when you’re there.”
“Got it.”
Subsequently, the group split up.
By the time Zi Yi reached the school gates, the Third Princess had also just arrived.
“Zi Yi, I didn’t expect you to request to visit our laboratory so soon. I’m so excited! Let’s go, it just so happens that I informed the members of my group. They should have arrived by now.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. Both of them got in the car and headed for the medical laboratory.
The architectural style of the medical university was different from M.Uni. The buildings here adopted a western classical architectural style and the colors used were very vibrant. Moreover, it resembled buildings from the 18th century.
It was currently lesson time and there weren’t many people walking around on campus. The Third Princess introduced to her the various schools along the way.
The car drove inside the school campus for around dozens or so minutes, before it stopped in front of the medical laboratory building.
There were already some people standing outside by the time they reached.
When Zi Yi and the Third Princess alighted from the car, they then made their way over.
One of the bespectacled women asked, “Professor Isa, why did you call us to gather here at this time?”
Princess Isa introduced Zi Yi to them with a smile. “This is Zi Yi from China. I brought her here to take a look at the virus we’ve been studying recently.”
“Zi Yi?” The woman’s eyes behind her spectacles sized up Zi Yi from head to toe. Her expression was very cold and even though she clearly praised Zi Yi, it did not feel like it was sincere. “I’ve seen videos of you treating patients with incurable illnesses before. Indeed, you do have some skills.”
Zi Yi nodded her head.
Other than the bespectacled woman, there were three other men.
One of the middle-aged men with curly brown hair spoke up. “You’re very beautiful.”
The other two merely nodded in Zi Yi’s direction.
The four of them seemed to be rather indifferent to her. As professors, they didn’t think much of her skills and they would not look up to her just because of her fame.
They felt that unless she shows them some real skills, everything else is just rumors.
The Third Princess saw how coldly everyone was treating Zi Yi but when she pondered over it she decided to not bring it up. “Let’s go inside the laboratory first.”
The Third Princess’ laboratory was located on the third floor.
The laboratory was very big and there was a lot of equipment placed around.
Before they went in, the Third Princess brought Zi Yi elsewhere to wear a protective suit. While they were putting on the suit, she repeatedly reminded Zi Yi. “Many of the experiments we conduct involve viruses. In particular, we have yet to confirm if that virus can attach to other things in the laboratory. Zi Yi, you must be careful later when you’re inside.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “I’ll just look at the experiment.”
The Third Princess was relieved.
Melina who was standing next to them and wearing the protective clothes furrowed her brows as she said, “Not only do you have to be careful, you cannot touch anything inside.”
Zi Yi glanced at her and did not say anything.
After the three of them got dressed, they entered the laboratory.
The other three professors were already waiting inside the laboratory at this moment.
They started with a discussion on the side.
Melina said, “Since we’re here, let’s continue with the experiment then. I feel that the direction we previously proceeded with is still wrong. Why don’t we change it and try another method today?”
“How do you plan to change it?” The red-haired man, called Sangji, said, “We’ve always mentioned changing the method, but halfway through the experiment, we will also return to the starting point.”
Bently, the middle-aged man with curly brown hair said, “I feel that there’s something wrong with our equipment. Why don’t we apply for more precise equipment instead?”
The Third Princess saw that they had started a discussion right away. She thought that it would be alright to dive into the experiment and when the time comes, they could also have a discussion with Zi Yi. “If we were to apply for more precise equipment, it’ll take at least a week for it to arrive. We still can’t confirm if it’s the problem with the equipment. Why don’t we split the virus by the XX method first and see if it’ll be a success? Moreover, today can be considered an impromptu gathering. I wish to let Zi Yi take a look at our previous experiment.”
The professors turned to look at Zi Yi standing over there after hearing what the Third Princess had to say.
After a wave of silence, Melina said with an expression of slight displeasure, “Professor Isa, we have been conducting this experiment for nearly half a month. This experiment was supposed to be in a confidential stage and it wouldn’t be good for us to show all the results of our research just like that, right?”
What Melina did not say outright was that perhaps Zi Yi was a spy from China’s medical community. She would then summarize their failed experiments and then continue to conduct experiments after returning to her home country. When the items come, if they were to identify the components of the virus faster than them, wouldn’t their previous efforts be for naught?
The other three professors also disapproved of the Third Princess’ suggestion.
The Third Princess’ expression sank. “Zi is very skilled in the medical area. We haven’t managed to make any progress even after such a long time and perhaps she can provide us with good suggestions. It’s alright if this virus doesn’t spread on a wide scale basis. However, if there is a huge outbreak, are you all still planning to slowly research it like this?”
“But… isn’t this the type of research that would be conducted by each individual country?”
Melina felt that all humans are selfish. If they were to take out all their experimental data, perhaps Zi Yi might bring it back to her home country and complete the experiment. When the time comes, whose name would it be under?
The opinions of the Third Princess and the professors diverged.
