Chapter 29 Give Me a Capsule as A Gift

However, in addition to maintaining the production and sales of the above-mentioned equipment, they had been committed to working on the latest and highest technological level sewage purification reagents.
The biotechnology was more convenient and faster than equipment under the guidance of the principle of artificially cultivating super bacteria!
Entering the production workshop, Vincent found the inside like a biochemical laboratory, closed, sterile, clean, and shiny!
Those beside them were all wearing protective clothing like scientific researchers, wearing masks and protective glasses, and they had rubber gloves and non-marking shoe covers on their hands and feet.
Before they entered, they were exhausted to go through the disinfection room and the sterilization room.
It was normal and understandable, though. After all, according to Matthew, they had invested a lot in this.
When they finally entered the R&D laboratory and came to a colony cultivation pool, many R&D personnel were working on something.
There were many precise thermostats, infusion sets, sterilizers, circulators, microscopes, utensils, observation machines, laboratory boxes, and so on.
Seeing Matthew bringing people in, the R&D staff nodded toward them and then went on their businesses.
Matthew didn’t dare to interrupt them. He walked to an old man with white eyebrows and nodded, “How... is it going by now?”
The old man nodded towards Matthew and the others, and then pointed to the cultivation pool, “President Quincy, Vice-president Quincy, and Vice-president William, here is the thing.”
The old man paused, “We have cultivated a lot of super bacteria samples at present, but they are not enough for us to realize mass production.”
“Then cultivate more?” Clare said.
The old man shook his head, “Vice-President Quincy, the problem is, our way of cultivating bacteria is similar to clones. And the cultured colonies are weak in both reproductive capacity and purification capacity, let alone mass-production and purification efficiency.”
“Then how to solve it?” Matthew asked.
“The best solution is not to split reproduction, but to reproduce them together.” The old man answered.
“Mixed reproduction?” Vincent was taken aback.
Carl stared at Vincent and muttered, “What do you know?”
“That’s right!” The old man nodded. “Through the research in the past few days, we’ve found that the superbug is different from other microorganisms. It is dioecious. Therefore, if males and females can blend... it will definitely realize the reproduction in large numbers.”
“Then make it happen,” Natalie said.
“Hehe, it’s not that simple.” The old man shook his head, “We’ve been racking our brains to figure the way out. The bacteria are not like us humans who could simply take off the clothes before... well, you know?”
Clare and Natalie’s faces flushed as they listened.
“Uh, sorry...” The old man shook his head and continued, “The super bacteria fusion has no active consciousness at all, which means it is a random event with a very small probability, so...”
The old man pointed to the colony cultivation pool, “There are trillions of female and male bacteria in this pool, but less than 10,000 could be fused every day according to our observation. Therefore, President Quincy, it’s really...”
Matthew couldn’t help but nod. Even a fool could understand what was going on.
“We don’t know the reason yet. Is it because of light? Temperature? The nutrient solution? Or is there any catalyst needed? Alas.” The old man couldn’t help shaking his head.
Matthew did the same and shook the old man’s hand, “You are an experienced expert! Please! Get our people together to make it happen! I’ll provide you more subsidies for this!”
“It’s not that we are worried about.” The old expert shook his head.
“We are doing our best! To be honest, on the one hand, we are doing this for money, which I can’t deny; on the other hand, we are sincere to make some achievements on this to win us both reputation and profits. It’s also a great contribution to our country if we made it.”
The old expert paused, “Moreover, we all know how you value this project, President Quincy, and we want to repay you for your kindness.”
“I’m glad to hear that! Tell me what you need. Anything! And I’ll do whatever I can to support you!” Matthew shook the old expert’s hand again, and the latter nodded.
Vincent observed the cultivation pool and found some capsules in a crystal vessel from aside. He pointed at it and asked, “What’s inside this?”
“He is...” The old expert didn’t expect to see him here.
Matthew didn’t mention “son-in-law” or anything, but explained briefly, “He’s one of us. You can tell him.”
Vincent was touched to be admitted.
“Oh, I see.” The old expert nodded and took the utensil over. “It’s all samples of our finished products, super bacteria purification capsules if you ask... but the effect is very weak... Semi-finished products to be exact.”
“Purification capsule? How to use it?” Vincent was curious.
“Haha...” The old expert was glad he asked. He turned and walked away for a while. When he came back, he had another transparent measuring cup with a few hundred milliliters of dirty water in it.
“Watch this.” The old expert didn’t explain much, took a capsule, and threw it into the measuring cup.
A strange thing happened. The turbid and smelly water in the measuring cup was cleared by half, and the pungent smell almost vanished as well.
“Wow!” Clare and Natalie could not help being surprised when they watched, “It’s amazing!”
Matthew and Vincent also nodded.
“Hehe, if we can realize mass production and increase the quantity and quality of super bacteria in each capsule, under normal circumstances, one capsule like this will be able to purify one ton of sewage!” The old expert shook his head.
“Is that so?! How did you know that, mister?!” Vincent asked.
Carl rolled his eyes against Vincent, “Here is something you don’t know?! Mister used to be an expert in a European scientific research institute, but he came back for missing our land and country! Thanks to the talent recruitment plan, I’m honored to have him on our team!”
“Yeah, how awesome you are!” Vincent mocked him inwardly.
“Oh, the research in this field is primitive in our country. If I had been able to bring back some scientific research materials and data, I may have saved us so much trouble.”
“Sir, can you give me a capsule?” Vincent asked suddenly.
“What?” Everyone was taken aback.
“What do you want this for?” The expert asked.
“What do you want to do with it?!” Natalie also stared at Vincent inexplicably, “Are you trying to steal the research results?!”
“No, of course not!” Vincent waved his hands, “Seriously? Wouldn’t that be too obvious? I just want to take it back and maybe do some research. After all, I’m a doctor. I may figure something out. Who knows?”
“You are a doctor?” The old expert didn’t expect that.
