Chapter Twenty: The Experiment Succeeds

  "Let's try it!" Pei Zhenbang didn't have a better way, and could only choose to listen to Pei Xin. He took a few deep breaths, figuring that if the experiment wasn't successful and losses were incurred, he would just have to bear them. This was his last chance.

  After finishing speaking, a group of people started taking action.

  Trying this out is no longer within Fuxin's new capabilities, not that Fuxin doesn't understand the operation, but rather, everyone else doesn't know he can operate it! So, Fuxin just has to wait for the results.

  "Go home......" Walking to the door of Yang Guo's house, Fu Xin had already left his seat, and everyone felt that this meal was not very meaningful, so under the condition of not wasting a bit of food, everyone finished eating the food on the table, and then they all dispersed, leaving to start their own work.

  Yang Guo's home was empty, the big gate of his house wasn't locked, so Fu Xin easily took out his bicycle. For a moment, he couldn't think of where to go, and it wouldn't be possible to come up with an excuse in such a short time, so he had no choice but to return home and wait for the result.

  ……

  Days passed, and there was still no news from Fu Zhenbang. This made Fu Xin a bit worried. Fu Xin decided to go to the Hongxing Fertilizer Plant again to see what was going on.

  "Mom, I'm going out for a bit." Li Fanghua shouted as she was knitting a sweater in the house.

  "Oh, then you go slower." Li Fanghua didn't have much to object to, as for Fu Xin's slowness, she had already experienced it before he enlisted.

  "Wait, brother, I want to go too." At this time, a little guy ran out of the house, with shining eyes and a pitiful expression, saying that it was Pei Xin's youngest brother, Pei Wu.

  "Oh, Xiao Wu wants to go too? Alright, I'll take you." Anyway, Xiao Wu doesn't attend school and just hangs out with a few village kids at home, so taking him out won't make a difference.

  "Be careful on the road." Li Fanghua didn't oppose Fu Wu's actions, she just reminded him and then went back to her own needlework, besides, Xiao Wu was taken out, so she could worry less and be more efficient, after all, Fu Xin is such a big person now, he won't get lost, right?

  Fu Xin was just about to step out the door when he saw Fu Zhenbang riding over on a somewhat dilapidated bicycle, with something tied to the back seat.

  "Fuxin, where are you taking Xiao Wu?" Fu Zhenbang intercepted them and asked.

  "I was just about to go to the factory to find you, Dad. Was it a success?" Fu Xin noticed that Fu Zhenbang didn't look as stern as before, and he seemed to be in much better spirits than when they had met a few days ago, and suddenly he had a guess.

  "En, yesterday afternoon was a success, the machine is running well, and the finished product of nitrophosphate fertilizer has a high yield rate. Now there's only one problem left, that is the toxic gas nitrogen dioxide you mentioned."

  Besides, we had a celebratory dinner at the factory's reception house last night, so I didn't come back in time. Oh, right, you were originally supposed to be part of this, but I stopped it, don't blame me, okay?" asked Fu Zhenbang. In fact, he was thinking to himself, "You little brat wouldn't dare blame me anyway."

  "How could that be? I just happened to help out, this celebration banquet has nothing to do with me." Fu Xin also guessed what his father was thinking in his heart, and he didn't have much expectation for this kind of wine party either, so he said casually.

  "It's better that you didn't come, but the leaders at the factory unanimously decided that this meal couldn't be without you, so I brought back five pounds of meat and two bottles of wine as compensation for you." Fu Zhenbang said with a nod towards the snake skin bag on the back seat of the bicycle.

  "In addition, you will take a two-day break and go to the factory on Monday to start work. According to the treatment given by your Uncle Jiang, you will be at the sixth-level worker standard. As for the Wuyang Bicycle Factory, your Uncle Jiang has already guaranteed that he will take care of it." As he spoke, Fu Zhenbang's face involuntarily revealed a relieved expression, thinking that this kid finally had some prospects. However, he didn't think about how much higher Fu Xin's starting point was than his; when he first entered the factory, although he was an intellectual, he still started as a temporary worker."

  "Ah, right, the treatment method for nitrogen dioxide. Although it's not very detailed in that book, I've got some leads based on what it says. It should be building some enclosed pools and releasing nitrogen dioxide into them. The water can absorb nitrogen dioxide and turn it into nitric acid. This way, we can also recover some nitric acid and save some raw materials."

  Fu Xin explained that although the exhaust gas was definitely not pure when it was discharged into the pool to produce nitric acid, he believed that the factory would eventually find a way to deal with it, and this was not a big problem.

  "Hmm!" Fu Zhenbang had actually thought of this solution a long time ago, and when Fu Xin mentioned it, he wasn't particularly excited, but rather more convinced of his own idea.

  Unconsciously, Fu Zhenbang and Fu Xin didn't notice it, but Fu Zhenbang couldn't help but feel a hint of dependence on Fu Xin.

  ……

  "It's great, we have meat to eat now." The other little Wu didn't care and couldn't understand, but as soon as he heard his father say there was meat, he got excited and started jumping up and down on the doorstep, cheering with joy.

  "Hehe, Xiao Wu, as long as you listen well and study hard when you go to school, brother promises that you can eat delicious braised pork every day!" At this time, Fu Xin's expression was just like a big bad wolf trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood.

  "Ah, right! Pei Xin, I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned it. I heard from your uncle Jiang that you're planning to start a joint venture with Chengzi and the others - what's going on with that?" Pei Zhenbang suddenly recalled something and asked Pei Xin suspiciously.

  This is Zhen Bang, although his way of educating children is very old-fashioned, and he is also a serious guy when doing things, but don't think you can see through him just because of this, thinking that he is an old-fashioned person who cannot accept new things.

  Actually, Fu Zhenbang is not weak in accepting new knowledge and things. Fu Xin clearly remembers that in another time and space, it was already the 21st century, and Fu Zhenbang was over 80 years old, but he basically went online every day to chat and read news. If there were some minor problems with the computer at home, Fu Zhenbang could solve them, which shows his ability to accept new things.

  "Hmm, don't know if you've heard of reform and opening up?" Fu Xin didn't answer directly, but instead asked Fu Zhenbang a question first.

  "You've heard, haven't you? The new policy above, what do you take your old man for, asking such meaningless questions?" Indeed, Fu Zhenbang thought that Fu Xin was looking down on him. As a deputy factory director, how could he not know about this new policy that the central government is now vigorously promoting?

  "Xiao Wu, stop making a fuss... uh, I actually asked the wrong question. I don't know if Father has carefully considered the meaning of this policy." Fu Zhenbang said, first putting aside Xiao Wu who was still excited on the side.

  "What are you two doing standing at the gate? Can't you discuss whatever it is inside?" Perhaps it was because Fu Xin's "Don't make trouble, Little Wu" was a bit loud, and it startled Li Fanghua, who was knitting a sweater in the house.

  "Oh, wait a minute, I'll be right there after I finish this. You go ahead and take the things from my car to the kitchen first." Fu Zhenbang said directly to Li Fanghua without arguing with her.

  "For a moment, who knows how long it will take..." Li Fanghua muttered to herself, took the snake skin bag from Fu Zhenbang, and walked into the kitchen.

  "Ah! So much meat..." Li Fanghua opened the snakeskin bag and couldn't help but be shocked.

  "Mom, Dad said this is what the factory gave to brother for food, a whole five pounds!" Little Wu, this little glutton, somehow followed from the front door into the kitchen, looking at the big piece of meat that Li Fanghua took out, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said.

  "Hmm! Xiao Wu, Mom is making braised pork for you all today!" Although Li Fanghua still had some doubts in her heart, she didn't think too much about it. Those were men's affairs, and her mind was only on washing clothes, cooking meals, and taking care of the children.
