He Xingzhou immediately contacted the seller and asked, “Do you have any more mutated fish?”
The seller said, “Dear, I’m here. Yes! How many do you want?”
He Xingzhou said, “You have quite a few?”
The seller said, “I caught a whole nest of them with a net! (picture)”
In the picture, there were some deformed fish. In the seller’s introduction, he said that these were black snappers, a common fish in the southern seas.
They had fierce looks, sharp teeth, and strong buttocks, fins, and dorsal fins. These mutated black snapper were twice the size of a normal black snapper. Moreover, their heads and eyeballs were very big, making them look very strange.
He Xingzhou was speechless. If the seller knew that he had caught a nest of Zerg gene carriers, would he still be able to sleep?
“Can one be cheaper? 1,000!” The seller quoted a price of 3,000 for one, and He Xingzhou tried to negotiate with him.
The seller: “Dear, my shop doesn’t negotiate.”
He Xingzhou: “That price is fine, but you have to guarantee that the fish is alive.”
The seller: “I can guarantee that these mutated fish are very tenacious. If normal fish are fished up, they have to be in aeration to survive. Even if the mutated fish doesn’t have aeration, they are still alive.”
“Alright, I’ll buy three.” He Xingzhou placed the order. The money he spent was all for the experiment.
Who would have thought that the biggest expense of a miniature nuclear reactor experiment was actually buying fish!
The shipping was very fast. A few days later, He Xingzhou received the three mutated black snapper. He used a basin to raise them in the dormitory.
“What kind of fish is this? It looks so ugly!” Feng Tao said.
“I feel a little disgusted!” Zhang Yang commented.
“Mutated black snapper,” He Xingzhou said. “It’s used for experiments.”
“That’s good. I’m just afraid that you want to keep it as a pet.” His roommates were not very interested in the fish.
Before doing the nuclear test to stimulate the zerg genes, He Xingzhou first drew blood from these mutated black snapper, tested their genes, and saved biological samples for comparison.
The University of Science and technology had a biological laboratory. He Xingzhou found a group of people who were interested in studying mutated creatures in the university forum and asked them to help with genetic testing.
When they heard that He Xingzhou was studying the effects of the nuclear test on mutated creatures, they quickly agreed.
He Xingzhou also deliberately looked through the technology tree in the Quantum Processor to find the biological gene technology branch.
“Unlocking the basic genetic knowledge requires one unit of energy.”
“Unlocking the genetic evolution knowledge requires one unit of energy.”
Although these two were both basic knowledge, when compared to the knowledge that the humans on Earth had, it was enough to be called it cutting-edge biological information.
He Xingzhou directly used the remaining two units of energy to unlock these two pieces of scientific and technological information. Along with the flow of information, he also gained a lot from the knowledge of biological genes.
Everything was ready, he was just waiting for the experiment to begin!
A few days later, Zhang Boyan confirmed the time of the experiment with He Xingzhou.
He specially instructed, “The experiment will be set for next Wednesday during my class. This experiment is very educational, so I plan to broadcast it to the students in class. Other professors in the physics department will also watch it.”
“The experiment site is still in the nuclear physics laboratory. It’s safer there. Are You Ready?”
“I’m ready,” He Xingzhou said seriously.
“Okay,” Zhang Boyan said, “I’ll follow up onthe whole process. Don’t feel too burdened. After all, it’s a nuclear test, so it’s normal for problems to occur.”
“Okay.” He Xingzhou nodded.
After confirming the date with the professor, He Xingzhou began to plan the production of the third video, which would be the last episode of “University Student’s Homemade Nuclear Reactor” series.
When he logged into the content creator dashboard of BiliBili, he was shocked.
His inbox showed 99+ messages . He opened it and saw that it was all private messages from netizens.
“Uploader, hurry up and update. I want to see the nuclear test! (laughing emoji)(Dog Head emoji)”
“Is your nuclear test safe? Will it explode?”
“When will you upload???”
“Boss, you can do it!”
Most of the messages were private messages urging him to update. He Xingzhou was puzzled. When he looked at his account, the number of fans had already exceeded 100,000.
One had to know that for a newcomer who did not have any background or was not a beautiful woman showing off, It was very difficult to gain 100,000 fans in a few days.
Yet, He Xingzhou had unknowingly accomplished this!
He looked at it and saw that both of his videos had more than 500,000 views!
“I didn’t expect so many people to be interested in me building a nuclear reactor.” He Xingzhou thought to himself that he had made the right decision.
He needed everyone to pay attention to this matter because the next super technology project required the participation of the entire country. The more interested the people were in technology, the better!
He Xingzhou was reading the private message when a chat window popped up backstage, it said, “Hello, I’m Xiao Mu, the video editor of BiliBili. Your ‘University student homemade nuclear reactor’ video has received an enthusiastic response on this station. May I ask if your video is personally produced and has the full copyright?”
He Xingzhou: “It’s all me. What’s Up?”
Xiao Mu: “It’s like this. The website has found that many netizens are interested in this series of videos. It is suggested that you can interact with the netizens in the last episode through live broadcast. After the live broadcast, you can edit the video. This will increase your popularity, fans, and broadcast volume. It will also bring you a certain amount of economic benefits.”
He Xingzhou thought that it made sense and could further expand his influence.
He replied, “The final experiment will be conducted in the school’s nuclear physics laboratory. I need to communicate with the school.”
Xiao Mu: “Yes, yes. If it’s possible, I will arrange a promotion for you.”
He Xingzhou: “Thank you.”
He Xingzhou immediately contacted Zhang Boyan. Zhang Boyan said that this was also to disseminate scientific knowledge to the public and it did not involve any state secrets. There was no problem with live broadcasting on the website.
Therefore, He Xingzhou confirmed the live streaming with the website editor. The final experiment would be shown to the audience in the form of a live stream.
He used the ID of “Planet Builder” to post a live stream preview: “Hello, everyone, I am Planet Builder. The last episode of my “University student’s homemade nuclear reactor” series will come to you in the form of a live stream on this website next Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. Please look forward to it!”
As soon as he posted his news, many netizens immediately left comments:
“Live broadcast of the nuclear test? I’m a fan of it!”
“A front row seat!”
“I’m waiting for the live broadcast. I just want to see if this is real or fake!”
“The notebook is ready! Time to learn about nuclear reactors!”
“If you don’t know, just ask. Will it be easy to find a job after learning this?”
..
Soon, it was “Next Wednesday”, the day of the Mini Nuclear Fission Reactor Experiment.
Early in the morning, He Xingzhou went to the laboratory. The safety staff of the laboratory first tested his experimental device to confirm that there would be no nuclear accident.
In addition, protective measures were arranged at the scene. He Xingzhou had to wear a protective suit to carry out the experiment.
