Chapter 416: 416. Research Institute

"Why do you think that way?" Anna laughed lightly and smiled.

Alicia shrugged.

She could tell that Anna was not really thrilled about being part of the research institute back then. After all, she joined in because it was a way for her name to be encrypted and basically, protected.

"Well, I have some things to ask but before that, I guess I can take a look at their progress." Anna rubbed her nose.

She could tell that her reaction when she found out that they registered her as member of the research institute back then was indeed not the best.

"I heard that it’s going well." Alicia giggled.

The idea that Anna proposed back then has been researched further and the researchers were trying to make the best situation for the plants to grow. They tried with several types of plants and so far, the result was quite good.

The improvements were only a little bit with more environment control and so on, but for the researchers, it was good enough.

After all, they couldn’t really expect a massive improvement like when Anna first introduced it to them.

"Then it’s good." Anna smiled. "Oh right, why did you come here today?"

Alicia was not someone who frequented the research institute either. She was not a researcher either and the main reason why she came here in the past was because she wanted to pay a visit.

The researchers were always happy when they saw her, though.

"I have something to say to them," Alicia replied.

Anna nodded at Alicia’s answer.

They quickly finished the check and wearing the protective clothing before entering the research institute.

There were many people inside and they were happy when they saw Alicia coming. No matter what the reason for her to come here, they were always happy to see her.

"Is Professor Black here?"

"Yes, Professor Black and Derek are at the control garden."

Control garden.

It was the place for them to test the plants that served as the control compared to the others. After all, they needed basic data or something like that to compare to the others.

This was what they usually called as the control variable.

The three of them nodded and then went to the garden indicated and saw Derek who was busy in the garden with Professor Black giving order from the side. Well, Derek was like the coolie while Professor Black was the one giving order.

"Oh, Miss Alicia. Miss Anna." Professor Black’s eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. As for Dylan behind the two of them, he was automatically ignored by Professor Black. Anyway, Professor Black didn’t have any business with Dylan.

Alicia smiled. "How’s the progress so far, Professor Black?"

"Oh yes! The progress is very good. we managed to find which type of soil is the best for some type of plants and based on the pH concentration, we find out that in .... The type of these...."

Hearing the string of unfamiliar terms, Anna could only smile bitterly. Can someone please remind Professor Black that she was not a major in agriculture or something? She couldn’t understand most of his words.

Alicia giggled. This was not the first time Professor Black was in this situation. However, they definitely didn’t come here to listen to Professor Black’s lecture, so she chose to interrupt in the middle.

"Professor Black, can I see Professor Ken? Anna can talk in details about your progress, but I have something to say to him."

"Alright. Derek, you can take Miss Alicia to see Professor Ken. After that, come back and help me to move the soil again."

"Yes, Professor Black." Derek stood up and nodded at Alicia, who was smiling brightly in his direction.

Anna looked at the two of them and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. She could feel that Alicia seemed happier when she saw Derek.

"Professor Black, I come here for two things. The first one is to see how the plants progress and also the research. The second one is to ask about some other things." Anna felt that it wouldn’t be good to just ask what she wanted, so she proposed to take a look at these things first.

"Ok, you come with me. The other researchers are actually hoping you can use your ability once more in the newly created environment. The other plant abilities are able to make the plants grow, but it’s not as much as yours," Professor Black explained.

Their highest result was from Anna and until now, they were not sure about the reason. One of the guess was because Anna’s rank was higher than the other plant abilities. So far, the others couldn’t do it as fast as Anna and in such continuous time.

Thus, they guessed that the higher the rank, the more of the dull powder would be pulled into the plants when these are growing. The problem is, they were not sure how to count the rank and their device so far was a bit limited in this area.

It could make some judgement for the first three ranks but after that, it was at loss.

And Anna’s ability was already at the ceiling for their current device or maybe more as they never accurately tested her. Without her consent, they would not anything like that.

"Alright, I can do it," Anna replied.

"Excellent."

So, in the next few minutes, Anna was growing a potato in the newly made plot with the soil and temperature that has been adjusted. It was now more suitable for the potatoes to grow and after it was done, Professor Black ran back to his research room with the newly brought potato for testing.

Naturally, the test result was slightly better than the previous potato and just from this, Anna guessed that these professors were definitely working hard to create the most suitable environment.

She felt their work was really admirable and watched them continued their research.
