"Listen to , recover well, and when your hand is better, we still have to fight side by side!"
"Alright, I’ll listen to you then!" Wei Song nodded, completely convinced by this much younger man in front of him.
...
Wei Song has been discharged from the hospital, and the recent turmoil has temporarily co to an end. Ma Weiqi’s intentional injury case still awaits a verdict, and Zhang Yang’s life focus has returned to a relatively normal state.
When there are no special schedule arrangents, Zhang Yang does regular live streams with his partner. When he’s not streaming, he guides ng Fan and Liu Zi on the basics of rod practice.
The specific affairs of company operations have always been managed by Old Zhao, allowing Zhang Yang to live quite comfortably.
Zhang Yang acts leisurely as the hands-off manager while others in the company remain busy, advancing according to the plan set at the beginning of the year.
If one had to pick a ’slacker’ in the company besides Zhang Yang who has no specific work performance requirents, it would probably be only one person—the head of the company’s laboratory, Yu Dong.
Since Yu Dong joined Zhang Yang’s company team, his presence has been low. Yu Dong, who is deeply passionate about technology, leads a very simple life, splitting ti between his residence and the laboratory, rarely even visiting the company office.
However, a low presence doesn’t an a lack of impact. Under Zhang Yang’s overarching direction, Yu Dong’s minor dicine research has always been highly efficient. The new minor dicine launched this spring quickly beca popular in the pond fishing and competitive markets, with impressive sales.
The profit margin for minor dicine products is very high, and the company is willing to invest significantly. Just recently, in spring, Yu Dong submitted a report to buy land for outdoor experintal ponds, and Old Zhao approved it without even consulting Zhang Yang.
Now, a large piece of land behind the laboratory has been purchased by the company, and after so construction ti, two open-air experintal ponds have officially begun operations.
At this mont, Yu Dong is holding a fishing rod, collecting data at the first target fish experintal pond. He fishes with a furrowed brow, deep in thought about sothing unknown.
The matter started a few days ago when Yu Dong conducted a series of studies based on the traditional Chinese dicine Rice for Making Wine preparation formula given by Zhang Yang, aiming to understand why this Rice for Making Wine had a noticeable effect on crucian carp.
For Yu Dong, such research is quite common. Identifying whether a single substance has a fish-attracting effect isn’t difficult, as practical experints with different additive asurents can quickly test this.
However, understanding the principle behind the fish attraction is sowhat challenging, especially in cases where various dicinal materials interact like in traditional Chinese dicine wine. The data collection work becos particularly tedious.
The reason Yu Dong is frowning over this issue isn’t because of its difficulty, but because he encountered a peculiar situation during his experints.
Yu Dong prepared a seemingly ordinary control group bait according to his original experintal ratio plan, but in practical testing, this bait’s fishing effect far exceeded that of another group and reached an almost imdiate, astonishing state.
Those who engage in fish attractant developnt know freshwater fish better than anyone. If there’s a significant difference with or without an attractant, they have the most say.
Typically, adding an attractant can enhance practical results by 20%, which is already considered high. Imdiate results are thought to be re exaggerations.
Yet, this was precisely the situation Yu Dong encountered.
Initially, he thought it was influenced by fishing spots and luck, random elents. But repeated controlled tests proved him wrong.
The experintal bait’s fish-attracting effect was truly overwhelming compared to another bait with similar components.
In total, less than 200ml of bait was used up rapidly. When he tried to recreate another batch based on recorded formula asurents, the miraculous effect disappeared.
On paper, the two experintal baits looked identical, yet their performance differed greatly, leaving Yu Dong baffled.
The first batch of bait is now only the size of an egg, and Yu Dong is reluctant to use it further, as it is a valuable sample that he must preserve for further research.
Subsequently, Yu Dong spent a long ti repeating the bait preparation actions, concocting five identical bait compositions, but unfortunately, none exhibited any special effects.
In this world, many substances are discovered and invented not through researchers’ efforts but due to certain accidents or coincidences.
Examples include the commonly known saccharin (ortho-sulfamoyl benzoic acid) and the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra (sildenafil), both accidental laboratory discoveries.
Yu Dong felt frustrated yet quietly excited and hopeful in his heart. This unexpected situation must have a cause that he simply hasn’t found yet.
Given the special sample’s exhibited effects, if he could identify the specific material or formula differences, Yu Dong is confident it would be another significant breakthrough in fish attractants.
After several hours of intensive work under the sun, Yu Dong still couldn’t find a possible cause. As a last resort, he called Zhang Yang.
In Yu Dong’s eyes, his boss Zhang Yang is a very remarkable person who seems clueless about the science of fish attraction yet provides highly accurate guidance on minor dicine research. What he couldn’t figure out; maybe Zhang Yang could see from a different perspective.
Upon receiving the call, Zhang Yang took it seriously and imdiately drove to the outdoor pond in the backyard.
"Yu, what’s going on? You didn’t explain it clearly over the phone!"
Zhang Yang asked with a bit of urgency. He understood the value of effective minor dicine research.
Yu Dong took out the remaining bait, now egg-sized, and explained, "This morning, I prepared two bait batches with different control group asurents to collect data in the pond and unexpectedly found that this batch had an exceptionally good fish-attracting effect!
When I followed the experintal process to recreate, the bait with the sa proportion in the sa base didn’t exhibit the miraculous effect again. I’ve tried multiple tis without success, so I called you to brainstorm together!"
"Where’s the bait? Let try it!"
"Here, that’s all that’s left. To preserve the sample, I didn’t dare use more!" Yu Dong handed the smallest batch of bait to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang didn’t rush to bait the hook, but started analyzing it in his own way after receiving the sample.
The base bait material is super-attractant and pellet fish food powder, with a tiny addition of stabilizing bait. This bait has a relatively stable state without any special substances, making it suitable as a base material for the control group.
After observing, Zhang Yang pinched off a small piece of bait to sll. Besides the light fishy scent of grains and pellets, there was a faint herbal alcohol aroma, indicating a small addition with a natural and mild scent.
After slling the first bait, Zhang Yang didn’t imdiately sniff the second. Instead, he stepped aside to take over ten deep breaths, resetting his olfactory cells to full sensitivity before examining the second control group bait.
With simple observation and sniffing, the two baits’ state and aroma were mostly identical. His initial judgnt was that there didn’t seem to be any differences.
Zhang Yang then took Yu Dong’s fishing rod, baited it normally, and began practical testing by casting the line.
"Huh!!"
After casting over ten tis, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but exclaim.
Yu Dong was right; although the two baits looked similar, their effectiveness in practical fishing was remarkably different.
A total of 12 casts, with six casts for each bait of the control group, ended with a 7:2 catch ratio.
This "explosive" bait consistently achieved bites, even catching a double-ended fish, whereas the ordinary bait only caught two fish.
What’s happening? The gap is overwhelmingly apparent!!
