A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 91 Chemistry Competition

On that day when even the sunlight seemed to be peeking in, a unique chemistry competition was in full swing in the school's conference room. Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, two bright and clever girls, were eager to show off their skills and engage in a silent "chemistry battle" with a group of their peers.

Li Shiqing, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, had bright, sparkling eyes like two little stars. She leaned close to Liu Yixin and said mysteriously, "Xin'er, do you think if we come up with an incredibly amazing soap this time, won't the judges be so shocked they'll drop their jaws?"

Liu Yixin pushed up her small glasses and replied seriously, "That's hard to say, but we need to figure out the formula thoroughly first, so we don't end up with a 'chemical bomb'."

Without further ado, the two girls started tinkering at the lab bench. They laid out all sorts of bottles and jars on the table, the colorful chemical reagents shimmering alluringly under the light.

Li Shiqing picked up a bottle of sodium hydroxide, frowned, and said, "This stuff looks a little dangerous, we have to handle it carefully."

Liu Yixin carefully weighed the oil, muttering to herself, "A little too much won't do, a little too little won't do either. This is a delicate job."

While they were busy at work, the other students in the first-year class were also busy. Some acted as "strategists," offering suggestions from time to time; others were responsible for recording data, their eyes fixed on their notebooks, afraid of writing down a single wrong number. Everyone was working together towards the common goal—to create a super soap.

Time ticked by, and an atmosphere of tension and excitement filled the conference room. Following their meticulously planned steps, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin slowly poured the sodium hydroxide solution into the grease, then began stirring constantly. The scene resembled two little magicians concocting a magical potion.

"Oh dear, my arm is about to break! When will this stirring ever end?" Li Shiqing complained, but her hands didn't slow down at all.

Liu Yixin said with a smile, "Hang in there, victory is just ahead. Once we make the super soap, we can dominate the 'chemical world'!"

Suddenly, the solution began to undergo a strange change, gradually becoming thicker from its original oil-water separation state.

Li Shiqing jumped up excitedly: "Xin'er, look, look! There's something going on!"

Liu Yixin couldn't help but smile: "Haha, it seems we're not far from success."

Next, they added various spices and colorings, and instantly, a fresh and pleasant fragrance filled the conference room. The scent was like a blend of spring flowers, summer breeze, autumn fruits, and winter sunshine, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

When the final soaps were carefully removed from the mold, the entire conference room erupted in cheers. Each bar of soap was crystal clear, radiating a captivating luster like a gemstone, and came in various shapes—some like adorable little animals, others like beautiful flowers.

After the competition, the judges were full of praise for their work and unanimously decided to award them first place. The students in the first-year class immediately gathered around, showering them with compliments.

"Wow, Shi Qing and Yi Xin, you two are simply chemistry geniuses!"

"This soap is amazing, I almost don't want to use it. I feel like I could collect it as a work of art."

Zhang Chen squeezed in and gave Li Shiqing a thumbs up, saying, "Shiqing, I never expected you guys to do such a good job! This soap is simply amazing!"

Li Shiqing playfully shook her head at him: "This is nothing. We still have more powerful chemical magic to unleash. Just wait and see next time!"

Amidst laughter and cheers, the chemistry competition came to a successful conclusion. Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, through their wisdom and hard work, not only brought honor to their class but also enriched everyone's experience with joy and knowledge on this fascinating chemistry journey. Those unique bars of soap have become unforgettable memories of their youth; whenever they smell that fragrance, they recall that competition filled with laughter and sweat.

Students from different classes gathered together, all racking their brains for the ultimate honor. One class of students researched a chemistry topic in this competition and ultimately won second and third place. Their stories were equally exciting.

The students in this class prepared thoroughly before the competition. Class monitor Lin Yu, a top student obsessed with chemistry, led several classmates who shared his passion for the subject to form a competition team. The team members included Su Yao, who was meticulous and skilled in experimental procedures; Chen Chen, who was quick-witted and always came up with novel ideas; and Zhao Feng, who was calm, reserved, and had a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge.

As the competition bell rang, they quickly got into the zone. The theme of this competition was to explore the reaction between metals and acids and their innovative applications in real life. Lin Yu stood in front of the lab bench, his eyes firm and focused. He said softly to his team members, "Don't panic, everyone. Follow the steps we planned beforehand. First, accurately measure the mass of the metal."

Su Yao nodded immediately, carefully operating the balance, muttering, "There can't be the slightest mistake, otherwise the entire experimental data will be greatly skewed."

Chen Chen was flipping through the documents when his eyes suddenly lit up: "I think we can optimize the pretreatment of the metal, which may make the reaction more complete."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Feng agreed: "That makes sense, but we need to quickly calculate the impact of doing this on the overall reaction rate."

So, the group huddled together and began calculating rapidly on the draft paper, with various formulas and data flowing from their pens.

During the experiment, the solution gradually changed, producing strings of bubbles. Lin Yu carefully observed the reaction and said, "The rate of bubble formation is slightly slower than we expected. Is the temperature control not precise enough?"

Su Yao quickly checked the water bath device and adjusted the temperature, which significantly accelerated the generation of bubbles.

Over time, they successfully extracted the products from the reaction and began designing demonstrations of the innovative applications.

Chen Chen said excitedly, "We can apply this principle of metal-acid reaction to the improvement of metal surface rust removers, which will make the rust removal effect better and more environmentally friendly."

Everyone responded enthusiastically and began making simple rust remover samples, as well as preparing presentation materials and explanations.

As they completed all the competition tasks and stood aside waiting for the judges' scores, they felt both nervous and excited. Finally, the results were announced, and they won second and third place. Although they weren't the champions, the students still cheered with joy.

Lin Yu smiled and said to everyone, "We have done a great job. Through this competition, we have learned so much knowledge and skills beyond books."

Su Yao happily added, "Yes, all those days of staying up all night discussing plans and repeatedly conducting experiments were worth it."

At this moment, students from other classes came over to congratulate them. "Your experimental design is really ingenious, especially the part about innovative applications, which has given us a lot of inspiration."

"That's right, your control over the details of the experiment is also very impressive. You deserve the second and third place."

Lin Yu responded modestly, "Thank you everyone. We have also learned a lot from you. We hope to have the opportunity to exchange ideas and explore more chemical mysteries together in the future."

Chen Chen playfully added, "We didn't get first place this time, but we'll be back for good next time! You'd better watch out!" Everyone burst into laughter.
