Chapter 426 Stephen's difficulties, looking for variables

As soon as Tang Yu spoke, everyone realized that Stephen didn't come to dinner today.

"Is he in the medical laboratory? I see that he has been staying there for the past few days, and he has been forgetting to eat and sleep!"

After hearing Xiaoba's words, Tang Yu subconsciously felt something was wrong.

He immediately stood up and walked towards the medical laboratory. The others looked at each other and immediately followed.

Since the breakthrough in the Night King's blood research a few days ago, Stephen has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of marine life.

Because there were many types of marine life brought back by Jigula last time, Stephen has been basically invisible during this period and has been hiding in the medical laboratory to work all day.

Several times before, I had to ask Xiaoba to come out for dinner.

Tang Yu quickly arrived at the medical laboratory. The laboratory door opened and he saw Stephen busy inside.

But at this moment, Stephen was in very bad condition. His hair was messy, his whole body exuded the rancid smell of sweat, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and his face was sallow.

Stephen's appearance shocked Tang Yu.

You must know that as a senior intellectual, Stephen has been dealing with management and research all year round, and he attaches great importance to his personal image.

No matter how busy he was before, he had never seen him like this.

Thinking that the other party is studying the gene chimerism between the Night King and marine creatures, nothing unexpected will happen!

Come to the other party immediately.

"Stephen, what are you doing?"

Tang Yu's voice drew the busy Stephen's attention back.

When I turned around, I saw Tang Yu standing behind me, and there were other people in the hiding place outside the laboratory.

I was a little surprised.

"Boss? Why are you here? Do you have something to arrange?"

Looking at the very natural expression and confusion on Stephen's face, I checked Stephen's information on the follower panel. Except for the physical and mental sub-health, they are all very normal, and his trust level has not changed at all.

Tang Yu was temporarily relieved, and looked at Stephen with a hint of reproach.

"What arrangements can you make? Do you think you are in the same state now or as before? Do you know what time it is now?"

time?

Stephen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the time in the laboratory. It was almost 8 o'clock.

Only then did he understand the reason why Tang Yu appeared here, and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast, it's dinner time again, I have already told Xiaoba, you don't need to wait for me, you can just eat first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, what he saw was Tang Yu's even more ugly expression.

"Old...boss...what's the problem?"

Tang Yu looked at Stephen quietly.

"Put down what you are doing immediately, wash up and eat. No more work is allowed today."

After saying that, Tang Yu turned and left.

Ten minutes later, a brand-new Stephen finally appeared at the table.

Only then did he finally understand why the boss was so angry.

"Boss, I know I was wrong, and I will never stay up late to conduct experiments in the future."

Xiaoba snickered and gave Stephen a bowl of soup.

Others also snickered secretly. Stephen probably hadn't had a good rest in the past few days and was completely focused on the experiment.

As a result, he lost the concept of time. A few minutes ago, he thought it was still last night.

Tang Yu ignored Stephen. After breakfast and everyone working together to clean the table, Tang Yu called Stephen to the entertainment area.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that there has been a breakthrough in research a few days ago? Why do you look like you are not going well these days?"

Tang Yu was not angry at Stephen for not taking a break just now. For researchers, it is normal to work overtime occasionally, especially in this world.

Even Tang Yu often operates all night long.

What he was thinking about was that since Stephen reported new progress a few days ago, the results that he originally said would come soon.

As a result, it has been several days now, but there is no news about the experimental results.

And looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that he had been doing research non-stop these days, and he was completely different from the steady and calm look before.

Tang Yu knew that there must be an unexpected situation during the experiment. Only in this way would Stephen choose high-intensity work under pressure, hoping to make progress.

Stephen nodded helplessly when he heard Tang Yu's words.

To be honest, he now regrets that he said too much in front of his boss before. He should try it a few more times.

It's good now. I have obviously boasted in front of my boss, but the progress of the experiment is also stuck on the most critical step.

This step is exactly the stage he has broken through before, but in the past few days, all experiments have failed without exception.

Even if all processes are carried out according to the previous operating procedures, the previous success cannot be replicated.

It is precisely because of this that he has become crazy these days. He does not want to admit his failure in front of his boss.

But now that the boss has seen it, Stephen not only sighs deeply, but also feels powerless.

Listening to Stephen's somewhat depressed talk about the failure of research in the past few days.

Tang Yu remained silent, just listening quietly.

He recognized Stephen's ability. Even though Stephen himself doubted himself now, Tang Yu still had full confidence in him.

Because the content of his information panel cannot be wrong.

Since Stephen's own ability and talent are not a problem, it must be because of other external objective reasons that his experiment has not been able to proceed smoothly.

Tang Yu's current goal is to help Stephen find this variable so that the experiment can be smoothly promoted.

After all, the result of this experiment is directly related to his safety in exploring the forbidden sea area in the future.

Tang Yu has no choice but to pay attention to it.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu took Stephen directly to the support center.

Seeing Tang Yu's arrival, Tu Shanxi looked at Stephen behind him with concern.

"Boss..."

Tang Yu nodded slightly.

"Call out the surveillance video of the medical laboratory, the time is from the second day of the disaster to now..."

"Okay..."

Soon all the pictures of the medical laboratory appeared on the big screen, and Stephen also appeared in it.

Tang Yu and Stephen sat on the chair and watched.

The surveillance pictures were all played at 3 times the speed, and sometimes Tang Yu would take the initiative to adjust the time.

So at 1 pm, Tang Yu checked all the videos of Stephen in the past few days.

But as Stephen said, he has been repeating the experiment for the past few days, but all of them ended in failure.

Looking at Tang Yu with a frown on his face, Tu Shanxi and Stephen dared not speak. Tu Shanxi silently got up and poured a glass of water for Tang Yu and Stephen, waiting for the result.

Ten minutes later, Tang Yu raised his head in deep thought and said in a deep voice: "Bring out all the videos of Stephen's successful experiment on the second day of the disaster and watch them again!"
