"Please help me call someone to come in and clean up here later. If anyone asks, just say that I accidentally broke the glass cover. Don't mention anything related to the experiment." Master Cheng instructed him seriously.
Yu Wenhao slightly withdrew his gaze from the experimental area, met his teacher's earnest gaze, and nodded subconsciously: "I know."
Master Cheng finally felt relieved. The wrinkles on his brows became less wrinkled, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said to Yu Wenhao, "I have finally achieved my long-cherished wish. Now I can close my eyes even if I die."
"Teacher, don't talk nonsense. What's the matter with life and death..." Yu Wenhao looked at him and quickly stopped him from talking nonsense.
Master Cheng smiled and said, "What's the big deal?"
"… "
"Everyone will die one day, and I will die without regrets!" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the experimental area, his face full of smiles.
"Teacher." Yu Wenhao vaguely understood that his teacher might have completed the confidential project of the Nine Institutes.
Master Cheng was staring at the experimental isolation area and didn't hear Yu Wenhao calling him at all.
Yu Wenhao looked at him again, and then he remembered Master Cheng's instructions, turned around and trotted out: "I'll go call the cleaners."

Night falls.
The weather in Beijing in July is as hot as a furnace. Even at night, the house is still stuffy, and the cicadas in the trees outside are even more tireless.
Ye Wangchuan received a call from Master Cheng in his study announcing the good news.
“Success!”
He immediately stood up and walked to the balcony, his eyes lowered, and excitement could be seen at the corners of his lips: "Really?"
Master Cheng did not need to hide anything from him and said without disguising: "I have done preliminary experiments in the laboratory, and the experiments were very successful. I have already extracted the data, and I only need to conduct repeated experiments to refine the data. It has basically been successful!"
Ye Wangchuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have become an elder."
"I am also very excited. To be honest, my hands are shaking badly now. I didn't expect that I could really overcome the last difficulty."
"You've been researching for decades, and it's time for a breakthrough."
Master Cheng disagreed: "Alas! If it were that easy, I would have overcome that difficulty long ago, and I wouldn't have spent ten years without any progress."
“…” Ye Wangchuan looked out at the night sky, smiling without saying a word.
"This time it's all thanks to Nian Nian." Master Cheng suddenly mentioned, his voice full of excitement and gratitude: "If she hadn't known Master Feng and Ms. Xie, I might still be stuck in it and couldn't find a solution... I discussed it with them this afternoon, and Ms. Xie's reverse thinking woke me up, and Master Feng also gave me a few small suggestions. I went back and tried it, and sure enough... I had taken the wrong path for the past ten years and walked into a dead end. No wonder there has been no progress and I have failed every time."
The experiment he conducted was no small experiment, and the money and effort it cost was simply incalculable.
The Ninth Institute invested most of its funds in this project, and Ye Wangchuan spent more than ten figures in his laboratory every year.
This happens every year, year after year.
Even he thought that he would not be able to complete it in his lifetime, but unexpectedly he actually succeeded!
"Except for Nian Nian, it's all thanks to you who have overcome all objections and continued to invest in this project over the years..." Master Cheng said with deep emotion.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to finish it."
The funding of the Ninth Institute was limited, and he was also aware that Ye Wangchuan had supported his research out of his own pocket many times.
He couldn't help but say: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."
