Chapter 391 Race Against Time
The success rate given by the system last time, Ye Fan could be said to remember it vividly.
0.91%!
According to Ye Fan's prediction, having done so many experiments, no matter what, the success rate should have increased to over 10%.
But imagination is beautiful, reality however is incomparably bony (.
As the system's sweet voice sounded in his mind, Ye Fan's eyes widened, said incredulously: "H-how much?"
System: "0.93%!"
"…"
Ye Fan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
So, after bustling about for so long, the success rate only increased by 0.02%?
Fine.
Better not to ask, alright? Too discouraging!
Ye Fan deeply exhaled, composed his emotions, his demeanor incomparably serious. He picked up a draft paper from the machine, looking at it while operating the machine.
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
…
Just like that, failed 23 times in a row. When Ye Fan was about to conduct the 24th experiment, Ning Xi's voice sounded beside his ear.
"Gege, take a break, okay?"
Ning Xi rubbed her sore ankles, slowly stood up. She had been squatting here watching Ye Fan do experiments for nearly eight hours.
Actually, she had long wanted to call a stop, but every time she saw Ye Fan's incomparably absorbed demeanor, she could only suppress this impulse.
But now it was already past eight in the evening. Ning Xi worried Ye Fan's body wouldn't be able to take it. This kind of high-intensity mental activity required appropriate rest.
The hand Ye Fan was using to tap the keyboard stopped, his body staggered for a moment, waves of sharp pain coming from his mind.
This was a manifestation of mental overdraft!
Seeing this, Ning Xi quickly supported Ye Fan's arm, her eyes filled with worry, "Are you alright? How about, go upstairs and lie down for a while?"
"No need."
Ye Fan turned and leaned against the machine, concern appearing in his fatigue-filled eyes, "Xiao Xi, did you eat lunch?"
"Ate."
Ning Xi nodded. Remembering the note Ye Fan left for her, she asked quite curiously: "Gege, why are you working so hard today?"
"Nothing much."
Ye Fan said vaguely: "Summer vacation is almost over, have to hurry up a bit."
Ning Xi pouted her lips, muttered in a small voice: "Clearly still more than twenty days left, where is it almost over?"
"Cough——"
Ye Fan ruffled the girl's black silk hair, said gently: "There's pre-made covered rice in the microwave, just heat it up and you can eat."
While speaking, he took out his phone to check the time.
Eight thirteen in the evening.
Only three hours and forty-seven minutes left until the one-month deadline stipulated by the system.
Cannot waste a single minute or second!
"Then what about you?"
"I'm not hungry."
Ye Fan continued to busy himself, said without turning his head: "Be careful when using the microwave. I'll stop working at midnight. During this period, I might not be able to attend to you. After midnight, I'll go to your room to accompany you, okay?"
"Don't get too tired."
Ache flashed in Ning Xi's eyes.
Seeing Ye Fan didn't respond, she sighed helplessly, turned and went upstairs.
At this moment, various particle arrangement diagrams surged in Ye Fan's mind. What he had to do was experiment one by one, to see which one was the correct path.
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
…
Another series of failures, yet the light in Ye Fan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Didi——"
The phone alarm sound brought Ye Fan's thoughts back to reality. He hurriedly said in his mind: "Activate Fountain of Inspiration!"
The alarm was set for eleven in the evening. The last hour, plus Fountain of Inspiration.
One last push!
Regardless of success or failure, at least he tried!
The moment Fountain of Inspiration was activated, Ye Fan's brain molecules were like they had been injected with stimulants, their activity level instantly increased severalfold. Various failure information was integrated. Soon, the target was locked onto ten particle arrangement diagrams.
"Hope the judgment is correct!"
Ye Fan muttered to himself.
With that said, his hands flew across the keyboard, his speed such that even programmers would have to kneel upon seeing it.
Resistance 0.12, failure!
Resistance 0.07, failure!
Resistance 0.15, failure!
...
The frequency of experiments, under the blessing of Fountain of Inspiration, progressed very smoothly, yet none were the results Ye Fan wanted.
The result of the ninth experiment appeared on the control screen, resistance 0.03!
Actually, this result, in some respects, was already very astonishing.
If there was an expert present at this moment, their jaw would definitely drop.
Resistance 0.03?
You should know, the currently popularized electrical energy transmission technology has a resistance of 0.1. Of course, there are technologies with lower resistance, but relatively speaking, they are not as stable.
Resistance 0.03, compared to the current electrical energy transmission technology, reduces losses by seven-tenths. If stable, it would be enough to astound the world.
But resistance 0.03 was fundamentally useless to Ye Fan!
Either resistance is zero, or the mission fails, no other choice.
Ye Fan's eyelids blinked rapidly.
Eleven fifty-five, only five minutes left!
Dared not slack off in the slightest, quickly inputting the arrangement method.
Ye Fan's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. These beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks, yet he couldn't be bothered to wipe them, no, to be precise, there was no time to wipe them.
Racing against time!
Ever since rebirth and obtaining the system, this was the first time Ye Fan was so disheveled.
If he had known earlier, he absolutely wouldn't have been so careless. Upon receiving the system mission, he would definitely have immediately invested all his energy into doing experiments.
All along, he had it too easy!
No matter how difficult the matter, under the abilities granted by the system, he could complete it with ease.
Over time, the two words 'strive hard' no longer existed in Ye Fan's dictionary.
Precisely because of this, this time he tasted bitterness.
In the last two minutes before midnight, the stabbing pain in Ye Fan's mind grew stronger and stronger, eventually hurting so much he almost fainted, yet still had to grit his teeth and persist.
"Pa——"
After inputting the last particle arrangement position, Ye Fan quickly tapped the control screen.
"Quickly, quickly…"
Ye Fan stared intently at the time in the bottom right corner of the control screen, afraid the time would change from 59 to 00 before the result came out.
Time ticked by, second by second.
At this moment, Ye Fan could be said to be experiencing seconds like years . Amidst his trepidation, the time changed from 59 to 00. The control screen simultaneously displayed the experiment result.
Resistance 0!
Ye Fan froze, but after two seconds, immediately burst into laughter.
Hearing the commotion, Ning Xi, lying on the bed drowsily, instantly woke up. Wearing a thin nightgown, she came to the first floor. Hearing Ye Fan's crazy laughter, she quickly walked over, cautiously inquired: "Gege, are you… alright?"
"Succeeded!"
Ye Fan waved his hand extremely excitedly, pulled Ning Xi into his embrace, planted one on her flawless face, "Xiao Xi, I succeeded!"
After speaking, another one; then, another one.
Ning Xi was stunned!
Don't know how many kisses, her left cheek was covered in saliva.
The girl who came back to her senses exclaimed, used all her strength to push Ye Fan away, her expression shy and charming, her appearance intoxicating.
"Haha!"
Ye Fan took a step forward, his hands holding the girl's fragrant shoulders, kissed those alluring red lips.
This kiss, domineering yet gentle...
