Pope and Field immediately grew nervous.
They had known for a long time that three students were trying to create Gasoline Bacteria, but they had always assumed it was just students fooling around. Even if they succeeded, the result would surely be some toy-like achievement to pad their graduation theses.
Who could have expected such a dramatic reversal overnight? Two of the world's top Scientific Research Teams had personally joined the effort!
They were even willing to take the students under their wings!
"An absolute honor! An absolute honor!" Pope came to his senses and hurried over to sign the Confidentiality Agreement.
"We're absolutely reliable!" Field also went to sign. "Just leave the dirty and exhausting work to us!"
"Our teams each specialize in different areas, so you two can't directly join either one. You should remain responsible for leading the three students. We'll discuss the specifics later." Song He gave his instructions.
Pope and Field thanked him repeatedly before sitting beside the three students. The two old men looked flattered and overwhelmed, rather like the mothers of favored children in a palace drama.

"No objections!" Lou Jinghui was always the quickest to pledge his loyalty. "We'll do whatever you say, boss!"
"Good!" Song He nodded. "The main task I'm assigning you is the Microbial Electrical Network!"
"Have you heard of Electricity-Eating Bacteria?" Song He asked as he wrote the titles of several papers. "If you haven't, go read these papers."
"They're old papers from twenty years ago. They record several types of Electricity-Eating Bacteria. They can not only sustain themselves
