Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Detecting Veins

Shi Yaoguang crouched down and looked at the ground shimmering with a light purple fluorescence, which seemed a bit like powder in appearance.

"This is the new substance I told you about,"

Professor Lin was somewhat excited, "Look, the metals around here haven’t been affected at all, but the surrounding life forms have all lost their vitality..."

Shi Yaoguang’s fingertip reached toward the fluorescent purple powder, but Professor Lin, quick as lightning, grabbed her wrist to stop her action: "Don’t be rash!"

"Although we can’t be sure yet whether the new substance will harm the human body, we still need to be careful in case... "

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang had no choice but to take out the protective equipment from her space.

Professor Lin knew about the Space Button, so he wasn’t surprised by her ability to produce objects out of thin air.

After Shi Yaoguang used tweezers to take some of the new substance, which looked like powder but was actually a liquid, she began the assay right there and then.

Watching her actions, Professor Lin was stunned.

He had thought that they were going to the laboratory later; he hadn’t expected Shi Yaoguang to be so efficient.

Zhuge Qingqing was completely convinced now; the nickname Sister Fairy truly wasn’t given in vain.

Professor Lin held his breath, watching her movements.

Shi Yaoguang completed the most complex assays with the simplest steps.

When the final results came out, he found them unbelievable.

"Is... is it done?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "I have roughly identified what the new substance is, I will send you the data later."

Professor Lin nodded, then looked puzzled again: "Can we move on now?"

"Yeah," Shi Yaoguang’s gaze swept over the nearby ruins, "Let’s head to the laboratory first."

Professor Lin was perplexed, hadn’t they already determined what the new substance was? Why go to the laboratory now?

"I’m preparing to make a detector; it’s not convenient here."

"So that’s how it is..." Before he could finish his sentence, Professor Lin realized what he had just heard.

Shi Yaoguang said...

She was going to make a detector?

Setting aside how difficult it was to make a detector, even if she really did make one, what use would it be?

Unless...

She wanted to use the detector to search for some entirely new substance.

Upon this realization, Professor Lin became excited.

The look he gave Shi Yaoguang also contained a hint of expectation.

Shi Yaoguang did not disappoint his expectations; after making the detector back in the laboratory, she brought him here to survey the situation together.

After three days, they finally made some discoveries deep underground, dozens of meters down.

...

Even when reporting to the nation, Professor Lin found it incredible.

Had they really discovered a new vein so easily?

This was simply unbelievable!

"Yaoguang, how exactly did you find this? It’s too miraculous..."

Professor Lin couldn’t help but ask Shi Yaoguang this question.

If everyone had the same cellular structure, how could Shi Yaoguang be so much smarter than them?

As for an explanation, Shi Yaoguang said...

It was by chance.

Professor Lin didn’t believe this.

If it were truly by chance, ordinary people wouldn’t even think to survey the mine below, much less unearth a new vein.

In fact, the reason Shi Yaoguang knew about the fluorescent purple liquid powder beneath was because she had encountered similar events in the fast-traveling worlds.

It was also about discovering a new substance, and then during the testing of the substance, finding out about its existence and a principle very much like "mutual generation and inhibition."

Therefore, with the luck of the draw in mind, she carefully surveyed underground and finally discovered a new energy vein.

These things, naturally, Shi Yaoguang would not share with Professor Lin.

Fortunately, Professor Lin wasn’t the kind of person who lacked tact; knowing Shi Yaoguang was not at liberty to divulge, he didn’t press further.

...

Shi Yaoguang had gone to investigate the explosion at the Wolong Town Chemical Plant, and Shi Yiqing had been keeping a close watch on him.

She received reports from the three people she had sent every day.

Confirming that Shi Yaoguang hadn’t made any significant moves, she finally put her mind at ease.

That day, she contacted several influential social media accounts and, as previously planned, released statements about Shi Yaoguang deliberately meddling in the Wolong Town explosion case to gain publicity.

When netizens saw the expose, their first reaction was...

to wait for the reversal!

With matters related to Shi Yaoguang, netizens had been proven wrong more than once.

They thought they had the final piece of the puzzle.

Looking back...

they realized it was only the beginning.

Anyhow, having been misled so many times, the online community had grown more skeptical.

Therefore, upon seeing the accusations that Shi Yaoguang was blindly meddling, they didn’t take a stance.

Shi Yiqing, seeing no reaction online, was quite dissatisfied.

She immediately contacted an online army to stir up netizens against Shi Yaoguang.

It was just such a coincidence.

No sooner had the online army started setting the tone than the central news released a Weibo post.

The core of the post clarified the reasons behind their announcement.

A completely new energy resource had been discovered within our country’s borders; preliminary tests indicated that the emergence of this new energy could bring tremendous changes to the existing energy market...

In summary, the message was that the new energy resource was incredibly significant.

So the question arose.

How did this new energy resource suddenly appear?

At the end of the article, Shi Yaoguang was mentioned.

Besides her, a research institute was also tagged.

This research institute wasn’t well-known among netizens, but it was somewhat recognized—after all, in this era, only a minority were not online.

Compared to the research institute that only concerned parties would notice, Shi Yaoguang, a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry, was the focus that everyone was familiar with.

Noticing this, some netizens spotted the issue.

They boldly speculated.

Just as the online army had started saying that Shi Yaoguang was interfering for nothing, seeking attention in the affair of Wolong Town,

the authorities revealed the discovery of new energy resources and mentioned Shi Yaoguang.

To claim that the two matters were unrelated was unimaginable.

And indeed, that was the case.

The new energy resource had been discovered by Shi Yaoguang, and it was she who had reported it to the state.

The reason another research institute was mentioned was that the surveying instrument Shi Yaoguang used to measure the new energy resource had been assembled there.

As the saying goes...

she won by doing nothing.

In response, other research institutes were envious.

Some even openly invited Shi Yaoguang to collaborate with them on any instruments she wanted to develop on her next project; they were willing to accommodate any of her needs.

...

Shi Yiqing, seeing the uproar of discussions online, turned black with anger.

She had never anticipated that things would develop to this stage!

When she questioned the three individuals monitoring Shi Yaoguang, these small fry who had already been dealt with by Shi Yaoguang didn’t dare to lie. They trembled as they recounted the events...

After listening, Shi Yiqing smashed several sets of teaware.

Shang Minghao returned to the villa and saw the shattered remains scattered all over the floor, his expression turned frosty.

"Shi Yiqing, you really have regressed." he said.

Shi Yiqing felt a twinge of guilt upon hearing this, but it quickly passed.
