Chapter 6 I Want to Win Prizes and Make Money(1/2)
Gu Zhe and Lu Tanyou chatted deeply, so that the food became cold.
Lin Jingjing and the others ate quickly, so they were ready to go first.
This gossip girl didn't take the opportunity to make a fuss today. It was really rare. Just as the meal just now, she and Xu Song were flirting there, almost never avoiding others, and they had no time to care about other people's business.
Xu Song is more concerned about friends and neglect. Before leaving, he never forgets to pat Gu Zhe on the shoulder:
"Are there any arrangements for summer vacation? Do you want to have a dinner party in a few days and go out to play? I heard that you are ready to lose weight, so go play football with me."
Gu Zhe shrugged: "Thank you, I don't know how to play football, so I'd better go home and swim. In a few days, I'll find some summer jobs, so I'll do it as a social practice. You guys can play it yourself."
Gu Zhe just wanted to make money, but the methods were not easy to explain, so it was easier to understand when working.
Xu Song didn't understand the situation and couldn't help but blurt out: "You are too hard, why do you do it like a Japanese person?"
In his understanding, middle school students only need to study hard, and summer work only happens in Japanese comics.
If Gu Zhe was reborn, he would be very sensitive to these issues involving family background and would be afraid of embarrassing.
But now he doesn't care, so he said frankly: "Damn, I have 20,000 yuan in the summer vacation to pay it back. What do you think I'm very busy."
Seeing this, Xu Song stopped thinking.
However, Lu Tanyou next to him was originally trying to eat, but after hearing this, he wiped his mouth and pointed out carefully:
"Then do you want to go to the city every day? It's inconvenient to live home."
The Lu family is quite close to Gu Zhe's family, and the same school district in junior high school, she knows the inconvenience of entering the city in the southern suburbs.
However, the Lu family lives in the economic development zone of the port area and is a city-wide person with high-end industries. The Gu family is separated from it by a town, and it is a city-wide fishing village that has not yet been demolished.
Gu Zhe was stunned and realized that this was indeed a mistake: "Thank you, thanks to your reminder, I'll find an excuse to continue living in the school."
The five people next to them just happened to leave, so everyone would also help me think about it.
It was also a coincidence that within a few seconds, Shao Jia thought of a solution.
Shao Jia has the best chemistry score in addition to Gu Zhe. She also participated in the competition last year, but she was beaten in the city preliminaries, so she is quite familiar with this:
"Didn't Teacher Jin ask you to prepare for the selection of special talents just now? You will definitely be able to get into the experiment. I remember that you fell into the experiment last year when you were in the provincial finals. Why would you apply to stay in school and make a surprise attack?"
These words seemed to ignite some dusty past events in Gu Zhe's mind that were unbearable to look back on, and his face changed several times.
Shao Jia realized that she had stepped on the mine accurately, so she quickly covered her mouth and regretted: "I'm sorry... I just wanted to say, you can apply for a laboratory."
Gu Zhe took a few deep breaths and calmed down: "It's okay, I know how to do it. You guys go first, I'll be quiet alone."
The students immediately scattered, knowing that Gu Zhe should calm down the traumatic stress (PTSD) alone at this time.
Gu Zhe sat down for more than ten minutes until the canteen aunt closed and drove him away.
Fortunately, he took advantage of this time and came up with a plan that could take into account both admission selection and holidays to make money, and also find excuses to live in the school.
As expected, there are still benefits to having too many friends. If you brainstorm together, even those with high IQs can gain inspiration.
...
After dinner, Gu Zhe was not busy going home, but went straight to Jinping's office and told her straight about what she wanted to do in the laboratory these days.
Jin Ping's expression was slightly moved. She looked at Gu Zhe's eyes carefully and realized that he was serious. Then she sighed:
"You said that if you thought so early last semester and persisted to the end, you would have been admitted to the public early. Alas, the same thing is that you should not give up some things easily until the last moment. The opportunity is only for those who are prepared.
Fortunately, you didn’t fail the college entrance examination in the end, so you have the same goal. I hope you can learn the lesson this time and give it to Zhang Ming as a recommended place. By the way, have you done the experimental plan you want to practice? I originally had a holiday later, do you need guidance?"
Jin Ping seems to ask casually, but in fact she hides a common sense of chemical management:
The rental of laboratories requires strict registration and supervision. There is a ledger for who has used it for how long, which instruments and medicines are used, and how much dosage is used.
After all, this is dangerous, and the drugs may be misappropriated. If the accounts are not left, then the management loopholes are comparable to "Breaking Bad".
Therefore, Jinping would never let Gu Zhe do whatever she wanted alone. Either she gave up her holiday and asked for advice, or Gu Zhe would find another reliable classmate to form a team and supervise each other.
But Gu Zhe had other plans, and the experimental content he wanted to do could not be exposed in advance, so he immediately said considerately:
"Liu Kai and Shao Jia and I are teaming up to record each other. How can we delay your vacation? They can also be admitted to Donghai University this year. No matter whether they can get the qualification to be selected on campus, it will be a good idea to practice more experiments.
As for the experimental plan, you can take a look. I plan to make these. If there is no problem, I will get the medicine first in the next few days."
After saying that, Gu Zhe pushed over a handwritten application form, which he had just prepared in the canteen.
Jinping looked at it and signed it.
...
After successfully receiving the approval, Gu Zhe immediately started to accumulate the game, and he was very executable.
He ran back to the dormitory first and followed the note Jinping approved by him to go through the check-in procedures.
I went to say hello to Shao Jia and Liu Kai who had not left school and asked them if they were interested in staying at school these days to practice chemistry experiments.
These two people love learning and are indeed interested in chemistry.
Shao Jia agreed to Gu Zhe for his sake, and Liu Kai stayed behind because he was interested in Shao Jia.
After doing all this, Gu Zhe was secretly happy: The first step is to plan.
He needs two tool people to help him with the laboratory ledger, but it is best not to supervise it too seriously, so it is best to find a pair of guys who may become a prospective couple to help.
At that time, Liu Kai will definitely be handsome in front of Shao Jia, attracting the other party's attention, and there is no time to deal with Gu Zhe. Those experiments were conducted in the laboratory, but Gu Zhe was just hiding the truth.
And the reason why he has to work so hard is that he has two plans that must be kept confidential:
First of all, he has several simple private product research and development experiments that need to be hidden.
Secondly, Gu Zhe was reminded by Shao Jia and Jin Ping just now and recalled some details about the selection of special students of Zhu Kezhen College.
Didn’t Jin Ping mention that there is a person named Zhang Ming from Gu Zhe’s Class 9 in this year’s senior year who won the recommended quota through the Chemistry Olympics at the end of last year.
In the city preliminaries last year, Zhang Ming's score was actually the second in the city, not as good as Gu Zhe. But after that, Gu Zhe's mentality collapsed and he didn't practice much experiment.
Zhang Ming has been working hard and ranked 12th in the province in the province. With the support of temporary policies, he won one of the four recommended places in the province.
Perhaps it was because of his overtaking Gu Zhe that made him very proud. Zhang Ming, in his previous life, later liked to show off his various experiences and inside stories at Zhu Kezhen Academy.
Unexpectedly, there is really a key message now that Gu Zhe has used it.
Gu Zhe remembers Zhang Ming mentioned that the selection of chemistry students this year will be taken on July 6. The content of the experimental test was just lazy and used the test questions of the 34th ICHO Global Finals held in Groningen, Netherlands the day before.
But Gu Zhe, in his previous life, did the finals test more than once in college, thinking it was a warning, so he still remembers the set of experiments on the test paper.
Who made this a regret for his life? His brain subconsciously avoided the relevant memory area in order to protect himself. He just touched the scar of his soul by Shao Jia and Jin Ping, and then suddenly recalled it.
...
Since everyone knows what experiment to take, Gu Zhe must seize this time and practice his skills well.
However, he was not reckless.
Because he knew that the existence of laboratory ledgers was a huge constraint on him, a prophet, cheater.
If he records the truth without any concealment, then if he encounters someone in the future and finds that the experiment he is doing today is exactly the same as the experiment in Groningen's global finals next month, wouldn't it be a mistake?
He doesn't want to get into the suspicion of "releasing questions in the global finals".
Fortunately, based on Gu Zhe's IQ, he had already thought of a meticulous countermeasure before summoning Shao Jia and Liu Kai to the laboratory:
Split the experiments in advance and cover up the medicines used in the competition experiments behind a bunch of other experimental designs.
It's a bit abstract, for example.
For example, the experiment you want to take requires four chemical agents, ABCD. Then he can design two other experiments, one uses ABEF and the other uses CDGH.
When doing the accounting, I used the cover experiment to get the medicine. After getting it, I took out some parts and actually used it according to the combination of ABCD. Finally, I also did the cover experiment casually, and the experimental records were made in a sloppy manner, so I covered it up.
If you are a top scientific research institution, it is of course difficult to get away with this clumsy method.
But in a high school chemistry lab, it is more than enough.
As a high school student, I don’t know the importance of the operation. I add too much medicine when doing the experiment, and waste it too much, which is very reasonable.
Many people can repeatedly add acid and alkali if they adjust the pH value, and add acid to the alkali. It is not surprising that they are clumsy.
...
So, when the practice was officially started, Shao Jia and Liu Kai were practicing cover experiments, and no one knew what Gu Zhe really wanted to practice.
Gu Zhe was not in a hurry to practice the real test. He planned to use the cover experiment to find the feel and restore the basic skills.
These cover experiments are not designed casually. The operational skills you need to use during several exams with high intensity are considered as sharpening the knife and chopping wood.
Gu Zhe remembers that this year's global finals were tested in "Peptide preparation in an amino acid environment with protected groups".
This experiment has a common feature with the "spectrophotometric aldehyde mixtures" that was decided last year, which is that it puts very high requirements on the candidates' ability to extract mixed organic solutions in layers.
It can be said that whether your extraction and separation is thorough and without residues basically determines the experimental accuracy, which was a hot topic in the Chemical Olympics at that time.
It is definitely true to practice the extraction technique repeatedly and deliberately.
Prepare the solution, cook various utensils, and manipulate various thermometers and densitometers... Gu Zhe's movements were a little unfamiliar at first, but within half an hour, when he gradually found his muscle memory, it became smoother and smoother.
However, soon he encountered new trouble-
Because the initial technique was too rough, Shao Jia and Liu Kai both watched him operate with great interest, as if they were very happy that "their level was better than the city's first place last year." They were joking and giving advice while helping him make records.
