The story of Song Tao getting the position of deputy team leader when he first arrived soon spread in the microscopy department.

On the microscopic department.

He smiled awkwardly: "I know that his name is Song Tao, and he does have some skills. Xiao Ling should have liked his ability, so he was the deputy team leader."

Zhou Xuan showed an unspeakable expression: "Old Shi, it's not me who said you, are you really stupid or fake? You have been chasing Sister Ling for so long, and she just ignores her.

"Sister Ling is such a cold person, and she actually has gossip news with other men. You might as well think that there is nothing wrong, right?"

Shi Zhengping helped his glasses and said with a wry smile: "Even if they really have anything to do with me? I can't do anything about it if I have a free relationship."

Seeing his dull appearance, Zhou Ruoxuan couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. She leaned over and lowered her voice and said, "Lao Shi, have you ever dealt with Song Tao? How are you, are you handsome?"

Shi Zhengping recalled Song Tao's appearance, but for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate it. He, a man, really has no aesthetic interest or standards for other men, and perhaps he looks pretty good?

Zhou Ruoxuan didn't say anything when she saw Shi Zhengping, and the gossip soul in her body burned: "Oh my God, he isn't he very handsome, right? That's definitely your strong rival!"

"Law Shi, think about it, he hasn't officially graduated from university yet, and he is only about twenty years old. He has become the deputy team leader, and his future development will definitely be even more unimaginable."

"After that, if Song Tao is really talented and beautiful, I'm only five years older than him and the position is exactly the same as mine, I can really..."

Zhou Ruoxuan found that she seemed to be off topic as she spoke. She quickly coughed awkwardly and withdrew her thoughts.

"Old Shi, I can help you test Song Tao and see what happened to him and Sister Ling. Do you think it's okay?"

Shi Zhengping was confused by her words, and was thinking about Ling Yue's affairs. He didn't care what she was saying. He nodded casually and said, "It's up to you."

After receiving the affirmative reply, Zhou Ruoxuan smiled happily: "Okay, Lao Shi, I will go and meet Song Tao when I have time to see if he has three heads and six arms, and can get along with Sister Ling."

"I have something to do, let's go first!"

After saying that, she went back to her lab with thick documents in her arms.

Shi Zhengping stood there and thought for a while after she left, and his mood, which was originally troubled by being late, became even worse.

"Song Tao, this kid, came to dig my corner. No wonder he and Xiao Ling were so close before. It seems that they are not a good-looking lamp."

At the same time, Song Tao, who was identifying gems in the laboratory, sneezed a big sneeze.

Song Tao rubbed his nose: "Who is talking bad about me?"

Since he was confused and took the position of deputy team leader, his work has increased a lot. He not only had to complete the appraisal work, but also had to learn to deal with some matters in the team.

Fortunately, the appraisers in the group did not have much objection to him. After all, since he came to the group for internship, he has promoted the group work evaluation to the first place in the microscopy department with efficient work with zero error rate.

At this time, Song Tao was identifying a 2-carat sapphire, and he was completely unaware of what happened outside.

"The color is Royal Blue, the origin is Sri Lanka. The inclusions inside are heated by high temperatures, which are obviously treated."

Just as Song Tao was writing the report and preparing to submit it, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and then moved his gaze back to the jewelry microscope. After observing for a while, he frowned: "It seems that something is wrong."

Although the sapphire has melted internal impurities and burst stress rings, there are a large number of cracks on the thinner edges of the sapphire, which seems to be not just caused by ordinary heating energy.

"Although this may be the feather-like crack inside the gem, it's a coincidence that they are all concentrated on the edges."

Song Tao readjusted the jewelry microscope for careful observation, but no abnormalities were found except for the cracks on the edge, which was just signs of conventional heating treatment.

"It's really strange."

Just when Song Tao was unsure of his mind, he suddenly received a task assigned by the Stone God System.

【Academic Research Tasks】

Task content: According to the abnormal sapphire sample, an academic paper was published.

Task details: Please use various scientific means to determine the processing method of this abnormal sapphire sample, and write a paper based on the relevant content, and publish it in an academic journal in SCI District 1 as the first author.

Complete reward: 1000 crystal energy points.

Task time limit: The task is released within two months.

[The task notification is completed, please complete it in time]

Song Tao looked furious: "Publish a paper in the SCI Zone 1 journal? There is indeed something wrong with this sapphire!"

If this sapphire is only subjected to ordinary high-temperature heat treatment or other conventional treatment methods, the system will never issue an academic research task.

The processing technology of gemstones is constantly updated. For example, at the end of the last century, miners discovered that heating some lighter sapphires could make the color centers inside them diffuse, making the color of sapphires more vivid and rich.

A few years ago, someone invented the beryllium diffusion treatment method. This treatment method makes sapphires with unsatisfactory colors more beautiful by introducing external coloring elements.

Now the system has suddenly released a task description, and this sapphire is likely to use a new treatment method that has never appeared in the jewelry market.

A new method of gem processing will definitely cause a lot of discussion in the business and academic circles of gems. If he can complete this system task, the name Song Tao will inevitably make his mark in the academic circle.

Thinking of this, Song Tao began to feel excited. Compared to having a name in the academic community, the 1,000 crystal energy rewarded by the system seems less important.

But soon, Song Tao remembered a key question, that is, microscopic identification can no longer determine which kind of treatment this gem has been processed. You must know that this is his best area.

Moreover, the system requires him to publish articles in SCI District 1 within two months. The so-called SCI District 1 refers to academic journals with the top 5% of subject impact factors. All of these journals are top internationally and at the top of the pyramid in the field. It is unimaginable to publish papers on them.

Only Li Minghao, a student majoring in Huachang Dida Gemology, published three SCIs under the guidance of Li Da, but it was only one article, four articles, two articles and three articles. The value of these three articles combined is not as good as a fraction of a journal paper in one area.

If an undergraduate student can publish an article in SCI District 1 as the first author, then it is an insult to describe it as a scholar. At least it must be called a scholar god.

With Song Tao's current ability, it is still extremely difficult to do it.

After staring at the sapphire for a while, Song Tao still found nothing. He sighed: "Ideals are full and brain capacity is very skinny."

This is the first time he has felt frustration since he obtained the professor-level inclusion identification level.

Song Tao thought about it and decided to discuss it with Ling Yue first. After all, Ling Yue is a serious doctor and her actual ability is much better than his lame cat.

"Sister Ling, I have an abnormal sample."
