Chapter 492: Chapter 296: Just guessing, purely guessing! Don’t overthink it!_2

Zhao Yi and Fan Lei quickly caught up, greeted Li Renzhe, and then continued to run.

Huang Wenqian said, "Catch up with them, and don’t just stay here with me."

"Okay!"

Li Renzhe took a deep breath and quickly sped up to catch the others.

The three of them were running together.

Once they were far away from Huang Wenqian, Fan Lei joked, "Not bad, Old Li, you even have a running buddy now."

"It’s running, as in going for a run!" Li Renzhe quickly corrected.

"Right, right, right, a running mate!" Fan Lei chuckled.

"Yes, a running mate, we believe you!" Zhao Yi patted Li Renzhe on the back and gave him a big thumbs up.

Li Renzhe, you’re doing great!

Zhao Yi initially believed that Li Renzhe would surely break up with Huang Wenqian, especially after their intimate interaction and his apparent regret.

However...

Li Renzhe actually wanted to keep exercising with Huang Wenqian.

"Could he actually believe that whole spiel about exercising to become beautiful?" Zhao Yi had only made that up as a light-hearted comment.

If Li Renzhe could actually stick with it, he might eventually end up officially dating Huang Wenqian. Initial attractions always start with hormonal reactions, and love at first sight is usually due to a pleasing appearance or personality. Over time, frequent interactions could foster deeper feelings.

With time, feelings could possibly evolve into love.

If they truly fell in love, it wouldn’t matter whether they lost weight or not.

"Fan Lei, run faster to leave Old Li behind. Give him and Huang Wenqian a chance," Zhao Yi whispered, "Such wonderful love. The young couple exercises together and looks forward to a beautiful life in the future."

"Yes!"

Fan Lei laughed and responded before the two sped off.

Li Renzhe couldn’t catch up quickly enough.

After taking another lap, they caught up with Huang Wenqian and Li Renzhe, and Huang Wenqian grasped Li Renzhe’s hand and ran beside him.

Zhao Yi and Fan Lei continued to express their admiration, "This is truly wonderful!"

"Yes!"

The two turned their heads back for a glance.

Li Renzhe, who was rather thin, was running leisurely next to the short and plump Huang Wenqian. Despite their contrasting figures, they made a unique and...

"This is love!"

"Yes, love!"

Fan Lei stated earnestly, "I don’t understand Old Li’s love, but I truly admire him. He is really lucky. I have decided that I will find someone good-looking and well-built..."

"Keep it up!"

...

The next morning, Zhao Yi arrived at the Metal Materials Lab of the Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

His last visit here was for a meeting with a big group. It was lively but somewhat formal.

But this time he visited alone. So everything felt different, and he had a whole new mindset.

Zhao Yi toured the campus for a big round before heading to the materials lab. He made a call when he reached the entrance and soon met Zhang Hongtao and an elderly professor.

"Zhao Yi, welcome, welcome!" The gentlemanly professor opened his arms for a warm handshake.

"This is Professor Xu!" Zhang Hongtao introduced.

"Hello, Professor Xu."

Professor Xu said, "Hong Tao mentioned that you were coming over today. I was looking forward to it! You’re here to help take a look at his research?"

"Not to oversee the project, I don’t have such abilities. I don’t know a thing about chemistry or materials science. Professor Zhang called me and since it’s the weekend, I thought it would be a good chance to come and learn something."

"That’s mighty humble of you!" Professor Xu then led Zhao Yi inside.

Professor Xu and Zhang Hongtao worked in the same vicinity and Zhang was somewhat a protégé of Xu’s, as Xu called Zhang by his first name. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

After entering the workspace, Professor Xu went about his business while Zhang Hongtao navigated Zhao Yi through the research materials related to alloy plate materials as well as the content and reports of experiments conducted so far. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Zhao Yi was carefully reading line by line. There were professional terms in some places that he could hardly understand. He asked, "Do you have the most basic information? For example, properties of elements like titanium and aluminum..."

This basic information was more important.

Zhang Hongtao was a bit surprised to hear this, but he still went on the computer to find some information and even printed it out to give to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi quickly looked through the information while joining Zhang Hongtao on a trip to the workshop.

Zhang Hongtao no longer had any expectations at this point. He originally thought Zhao Yi knew a lot, but in the end, he didn’t even know the properties of elements. It was strange to think about how he could help.

"He really doesn’t know anything."

Zhang Hongtao thought a bit gloomily, but didn’t feel anything unusual. After all, it was quite normal. The other party was an expert in mathematics and computer science, and had dabbled in biomedical sciences, but he had never heard of him studying chemistry.

So he simply assumed that Zhao Yi was just here visiting. Having a top mathematician visit the lab was quite nice.

Zhao Yi followed Zhang Hongtao into the research area where he saw the titanium alloy sheet he had seen last time.

A large chunk of the sheet was clearly missing, undoubtedly used up during the research.

Since Zhang Hongtao thought Zhao Yi was just visiting, he began to explain, "After cutting and melting the sheet, we conducted a detailed analysis of the composition. The first thing we found was the titanium content."

"This is easy to determine. After melting, we use an inert gas..."

"Blah blah blah..."

Zhang Hongtao recounted a bunch of professional methods and knowledge that were utterly incomprehensible.

Zhao Yi straightforwardly interrupted, "73.5 percent?"

"...Huh?"

"You were talking about the titanium content, right?" Zhao Yi explained.

Zhang Hongtao glanced at the document in his hands and carefully compared the numbers. Of course, he knew Zhao Yi was correct, but he didn’t understand how Zhao Yi knew.

73.5%?

Correct!

Zhang Hongtao wanted to ask, but he didn’t. Instead, he continued, "That’s correct, it’s indeed 73.5%. The next elements we measured were aluminum and magnesium. Aluminum-magnesium alloys are commonly used..."

"Blah blah blah..."

Zhao Yi was getting dizzy from listening and interrupted again, "You’re talking about the content of aluminum and magnesium, right? I guess it should be between 13 and 17 percent. I’m not sure what the exact value is, but it should be around that."

He definitely knew the exact value.

The sheet was right in front of his eyes.

As long as he used "Correlation Law" to examine the relationship between the sheet and the elements of aluminum and magnesium, the content would be revealed immediately.

But it’s better to be modest and just ’estimate’ a number.

Zhang Hongtao stared blankly at Zhao Yi, thinking carefully, then understood, "It seems that you have a deep understanding of alloys. The proportion of aluminum and magnesium in the alloy is indeed rule-based. If the difference in content of the two elements is too large, it may fail to form a uniform system..."

"Blah blah blah..."

Zhang Hongtao talked continuously for a long time, explaining why Zhao Yi could directly know the content, leaving Zhao Yi speechless.

What else could he say?

The other party had done all the explaining!

Zhang Hongtao finally changed the topic and came to a smelting furnace. He took out a small piece of silvery metal, "Take a look at this..."

Zhao Yi took it and looked, "Titanium alloy? It also contains aluminum and magnesium, as well as carbon, right? It seems similar to that titanium alloy sheet..."

"This is our achievement."

Zhang Hongtao said quite proudly, then asked Zhao Yi, "Can you see any difference between this piece and the other one?"

"Difference... The colors are a bit different." Zhao Yi carefully examined, subconsciously using the "Correlation Law" to compare the two sheets. "This one is brighter, the carbon content should be less? The ratio of aluminum and magnesium is different too. Also, no rare elements have been added."

"Correct!"

Zhang Hongtao took a deep breath, looking at Zhao Yi in disbelief, "You deduced all this from the color?"

"Just a guess, just a wild guess."

Zhao Yi laughed, "I truly don’t understand much about this stuff."

"..."

Zhang Hongtao suddenly had the feeling of being played.
