"Mo Nv, report the current temperature."
"Temperature: 1408 K."
"Raise the pressure to 1468.25 kPa. Don't increase it too quickly; keep the temperature constant."
In the laboratory, Chen Mo calmly watched the instrument before him. Ten days had passed since Li Chengzhi came to discuss the deal. After all this time of repeated experiments and failures—
The most critical moment had finally arrived.
The temperature had been raised by 5 degrees Celsius, the pressure increased by 152 kPa, and the pressurization time extended by 3 seconds. He had obtained these final figures after ten days and hundreds of failures.
Watching the countdown on the computer beside him, Chen Mo's heart rose to his throat.
The laboratory fell silent, leaving only the sound of the machinery running. Three and a half minutes was not long, yet Chen Mo felt as though an eternity had passed.
Only when the instrument completed its preset program and stopped did Chen Mo come back to himself. He slowly opened the reactor chamber.
Taking out the familiar carbon crystal sheets from the chamber one by one, Chen Mo found that they varied in size and were piled together like scraps of paper. Though only a millimeter thick, these carbon crystals were not brittle. They were about as tough as hard cardboard, so there was no need to worry about them crumbling into powder from a careless touch.
The tiny carbon crystal sheets were speckled with countless glittering points, like a starry night sky, breathtakingly beautiful.
They did not look much different from the carbon crystal sheets produced in his previous experiments. The main difference was their purity, something that could not be distinguished with the naked eye.
Chen Mo placed the carbon crystal into the testing equipment and began waiting. Before long, the machine beeped to
