Chapter 35 Li Bingqian was greatly shocked
Three days later, DeepBlue Technology.
Shen Yuxin pushed open the door and entered Lin Chuan's office.
"Senior brother, they've arrived."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan nodded and then got up to go out and greet them.
Su Qingyue had already given instructions yesterday that she would be coming to DeepBlue Technology this morning, and she also brought Li Bingqian, the manager of the Xin'an Business Department of Henghui Group.
Shen Yuxin followed silently. She was also quite curious about Lin Chuan's beautiful and wealthy senior sister, whom she had never met in person.
Meanwhile, two cars were parked downstairs at the DeepBlue Technology office building.
Su Qingyue's assistant got out of the passenger seat first, opened a long-handled umbrella, and opened the back door of the car. It was drizzling outside.
A moment later, Su Qingyue calmly got out of the back seat of the car and glanced around.
In another car, a man in his early fifties got out. He was of medium build and slightly overweight. He was Li Bingqian, the manager of the Xin'an Business Department of Henghui Group.
The two parties entered the office building and arrived at DeepBlue Technology.
"Welcome," Lin Chuan said with a smile, shaking hands with Su Qingyue and Li Bingqian respectively.
When shaking hands with Su Qingyue, the two seemed not to be very familiar with each other.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yuxin, who was standing next to Lin Chuan, couldn't help but mutter to herself.
If I hadn't already known about the close relationship between Lin Chuan and Su Qingyue, I really wouldn't have realized how well they were putting on an act in front of outsiders.
Shen Yuxin's gaze also occasionally and secretly scrutinized her.
At this moment, Su Qingyue was dressed in a formal business suit, her attire perfectly matching her current temperament. Her expression was calm and serious, exuding a refined, sophisticated, and aloof aura.
"So Su Qingyue is a cold and aloof beauty..." Shen Yuxin muttered to herself.
At the same time, Lin Chuan shook hands with Li Bingqian.
"Mr. Lin, I've heard so much about you. When Mr. Su mentioned you to me, I thought you were a CEO in your forties or fifties. I didn't expect you to be so handsome and accomplished at such a young age."
Li Bingqian smiled, a very professional smile.
"You flatter me. This way, please."
The group entered a reception room of the company. After the guests and hosts took their seats, Shen Yuxin brought over a few cups of tea and then sat down quietly next to Lin Chuan.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Bingqian picked up his teacup, blew on it to cool it, and then looked at Lin Chuan.
"President Lin, President Su told me about your project. To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, and even now I'm still a bit skeptical. Seeing is believing, so could you let me see the actual product?"
"Of course," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "Shall we go meet them now?"
Everyone got up and, after only a few minutes in the reception room, headed to the laboratory where the "Plastic Erosion Bacteria" project team was located.
After leaving the office, I arrived at my destination in about ten minutes.
Lin Chuan, Su Qingyue, Li Bingqian, and others changed into cleanroom suits and entered the laboratory.
Li Bingqian walked around, taking in the equipment. The laboratory was filled with various instruments, all neatly arranged, including a magnetron sputtering system, a spectrometer, a centrifuge, a biosafety cabinet, and so on.
She noticed a piece of paper pasted on the wall, with black and white printed text.
[Blue Project: Plasminoides]
Project Code: SP-001
He glanced at her and then looked away. Zhao Funing was standing next to the biosafety cabinet, wearing goggles and holding a pipette.
Seeing Lin Chuan and the others come in, he nodded as a greeting.
Lin Chuan walked to the workbench and picked up a petri dish.
There was a thin, pale yellow film in the petri dish, which looked like dried agar.
"This is a sample of the plasminoid bacteria we cultivated." Lin Chuan handed over the petri dish. "Of course, what you see is just the culture medium; the bacteria themselves are invisible to the naked eye."
Li Bingqian took the petri dish and looked at it closely. Indeed, he couldn't see anything; there was only a thin layer of color.
"It works roughly like this," Lin Chuan explained simply. "We combine several genetically modified microorganisms into a microbial community. These microorganisms can secrete specific extracellular enzymes that degrade plastic polymers into small molecule monomers, which are then further metabolized into carbon dioxide and water."
Lin Chuan pointed to the words written on a whiteboard on the wall: Plastic fragments → enzymatic hydrolysis → small molecules → microbial absorption → metabolites.
"The entire degradation process is completed at room temperature and pressure, without the need for heating, pressurization, or any chemical reagents," Lin Chuan continued. "The only consumable is a specially formulated nutrient solution that we use to maintain the activity and reproduction of the bacteria."
Li Bingqian nodded, then looked at Lin Chuan, "Can we see the actual degradation process?"
"Okay." Lin Chuan then called Zhao Funing over. A moment later, Zhao Funing walked to the lab bench and took out a culture bottle from the incubator.
The bottle contained a cloudy liquid with some white sediment at the bottom.
"This is a batch of experiments that started yesterday," Zhao Funing said. "The plastic samples are fragments of mineral water bottles, with an initial weight of 5 grams."
She placed the culture flask under a microscope, adjusted the focus, and then moved aside.
"Mr. Li, please come and take a look."
Li Bingqian leaned close to the eyepiece, and in his field of vision, countless tiny rod-shaped bacteria were swimming.
They gathered at the edge of the plastic fragments, as if gnawing on something.
The surface of the plastic fragments has become pitted and uneven, and in some places there are even obvious cracks.
"This is the degradation effect after 72 hours," Zhao Funing, standing next to her, explained. "The weight of the plastic fragments has been reduced by about 40%."
Li Bingqian straightened up, a subtle change in his expression, and then asked, "Is there a video recording? The time-lapse kind?"
Lin Chuan nodded: "Yes. We made complete records."
Then a two-and-a-half-minute video was opened.
A petri dish was fixed under the lens, with a white plastic film inside, the culture medium just covering the surface of the film.
The video started playing, and Su Qingyue and Li Bingqian both looked at the computer screen.
The first day was uneventful.
The next day, the edges of the plastic film began to blur, as if it had been eroded by something.
On the third day, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the film, spreading from the edges to the center.
On the fourth day, the entire membrane shattered into countless small pieces, which floated in the liquid.
On the fifth day, the small pieces turned into even smaller particles.
On the sixth day, the particles were almost invisible, and the liquid became cloudy.
On the seventh day, the liquid began to clarify.
Only clear liquid remained in the petri dish, with a very thin layer of sediment at the bottom.
The two-and-a-half-minute video has finished playing.
Li Bingqian's expression shifted from doubt to shock, even profound awe, and even the usually stern Su Qingyue was slightly moved.
Lin Chuan remained silent, giving the other party time to process the information.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, simply unbelievable." Li Bingqian's face was full of shock; he never expected it to be true.
