Inside the dean's office.
Looking at Tian Liangwei's surprised expression, Xu Yun pondered for a few seconds and decided it was better to downplay things a little.
"That's right. To be honest, at first I only planned to try to break through to fourth-generation Imidacloprid. But by chance, I suddenly realized that when two males mate, they still need a female for a second round of transmission, which could cut the coverage rate in half.
"On top of that, I wasn't satisfied with the insecticidal efficiency of the fourth generation, so I thought I'd see if I could make a push for the fifth. After all, we'd already overcome the crucial barrier to the fourth generation.
"I didn't expect both sides of the project to make breakthroughs after two days of divided research. Now all that's left is to connect and synthesize the attractants."
Xu Yun attributed the idea for the fifth generation to inspiration that had struck during the research. That explanation was obviously much easier to accept than "I planned to develop the fifth generation from the start." It fell under the category of a follow-up development.
As the saying went, inspiration came from practice.
For instance, a designer might suddenly have a burst of inspiration halfway through drawing up a blueprint and end up designing a classic building. You could find plenty of examples like that with your eyes closed.
While he was still getting established, there was no need to stand out too much. The research group's current results were already enough to support the image he had cultivated.
Across from Xu Yun, Tian Liangwei pressed his lips together and fell silent, his expression thoughtful.
To be honest,
the results for Imidacloprid alone weren't enough to make him lose his composure. After all, it was only
