Rong Yuan stopped the two from trying to let the sheep out, took out the computer and stared intently at it, and at the same time kept an eye on the time.

According to calculations, the interior of the marshmallow is not completely closed, and it should be able to provide breathing conditions.This is true in theory, but no one knows what the real answer is without practice.If the stuffing inside clogs the airways or blocks air flow, the sheep's sign data can change significantly within minutes.

Zhou Yuan clasped his palms together and waited nervously.After a while, the cry of the sheep inside the white ball stopped, and there was no sound for a long time.

"Xiao Yuan..." Jin Yang was also a little worried, and called out to Rong Yuan who seemed indifferent.

"Shh-"

Rong Yuan raised his fingers and shook his head, listening carefully, there was a very faint rustling sound coming from inside the marshmallow.After listening for a while, he smiled and said to the two, "It's okay, just wait."

Jin Yang and Zhou Yuan couldn't hear the small voice, they circled the white ball twice, waiting together.More than half an hour later, I heard another "baa~".

This time the sound was much clearer, and when I looked again, a small black hole appeared on one side of the white ball. The sheep stuck out its pink nose tip from the hole and sniffed gently.After a while, the nose retracted, and the tongue licked around the hole, making the hole bigger.

——It ate a hole through the inside of the white ball by itself!

"Okay, let's get it out."

Rong Yuan said, he tapped on the keyboard to record the time and various physical signs.Zhou Yuan took out a small spray bottle and sprayed the transparent liquid inside on the white ball, and saw a depression the size of a watermelon appeared on one side of the white ball, just like a snow ball that was splashed with hot water.Zhou Yuan sprayed a few more times, and rescued the sheep covered in white filaments. The original huge white ball was dissolved into only a little bit, and the sheep reluctantly lowered its head to lick some of the filaments still attached to its front hooves.

Rong Yuan finished taking notes, put away the computer, and said, "Get ready for the next experiment."

The two people who had known the content of the experiment for a long time immediately cast their sympathetic eyes on the sheep who didn't remember to eat. It raised its head, moved its ears, and cried innocently: "Baa~~"

……

The following day is probably the most memorable day in this sheep's life.

More than 100 meters is actually not high. In order to test whether the marshmallow can effectively protect the safety of the living organisms in it at a higher altitude and faster falling speed, a simple version of the hot air balloon carried sheep into the sky. .Then at an altitude of 800 meters, Rong Yuan pressed the switch, and the bottom of the hot air balloon basket suddenly fell off, and the sheep's feet were empty, and it immediately went into free fall!

When Jin Yang rescued it from the marshmallow ball, the sheep, which bounced with the white ball on the ground more than ten times, was turned dizzy, and its limbs limply lay on the ground without moving.

To test whether the sudden expansion of a marshmallow ball could crush and suffocate the living things in a confined space.The sheep are housed in wooden crates that are only slightly larger than themselves.With a bang, the marshmallow swelled, the box was broken, and pieces of wood flew around. However, the pressure sensor attached to the sheep showed that the pressure on the sheep was not too great, far from fatal.It's just that the sheep are squeezed in the middle of the dense sugar shreds, and it is difficult to even turn their necks.

Then they tested the different effects of marshmallow beans being installed on sheep's hooves, tails, etc.; Under different ground conditions such as the environment, there will be no damage to the life experience therein, and so on.

After testing one by one, all the test results are basically consistent with the theory. Even if there are some deviations, they are all within the controllable range. You just need to go back and fine-tune the proportion of ingredients.In the end, Zhou Yuan got Rong Yuan's permission, and went to battle in person to conduct two tests.After all, the sheep are all started by remote operation during the test, and they need to press the switch themselves in the actual application.

Another test simulating the duration of marshmallow balls in an acid rain environment was over. Zhou Yuan went to liberate the sheep. Jin Yang changed a battery for the camera. He turned to look at Rong Yuan who was writing and drawing on paper. The pride is indescribable.

"Xiaoyuan, when this invention of yours comes out, it will cause a sensation in the world, right?" Jin Yang said in admiration.

"It's not that exaggerated." Rong Yuan shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm not the first inventor either."

Jin Yang didn’t ask who was the first inventor, he said: “With this, general airbags, emergency parachutes and safety air cushions can all be replaced. Airbags still cause suffocation hazards, and parachutes and air cushions have landing Undue risk, this white ball solves all these problems. By the way, what did you name this thing?"

"Puffy cotton candy." Rong Yuan said.

Jin Yang shook his hand: "Peng... Peng what?" He actually heard it clearly, but he couldn't believe his ears—Rong Yuan still has such a childlike innocence?

Rong Yuan looked at him silently, without speaking.

"Haha." Jin Yang laughed dryly, and discussed, "How about changing the name? When you say it like this, others think it's some kind of food, and the main function is not reflected."

"Then... first aid device a-one?" Rong Yuan thought of the word a-1 printed on the surface of the marshmallow for distinction.

"Too straightforward." Jin Yang touched his chin and denied it again.

Zhou Yuan, who came over, heard their discussion and said, "How about calling it a bouncy ball? Or a cotton bouncy ball?"

The sheep followed her and was led over, pulling it one step at a time, with a standard awl with a look of lovelessness on its face.

Rong Yuan cast a sideways glance and said, "Are you sure you can show its function in this way?"

The two looked at Jin Yang together, waiting to see what good idea he had.

Jin Yang thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "How about... super elastic edible fast-aid marshmallows?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up, and saw Rong Yuan and Zhou Yuan looking at him with exactly the same eyes, with two words clearly written in the eyes - "contempt"!

……

In the end, Rong Yuan resisted all opinions and arbitrarily named it "Marshmallow—Stretch Version". The reason for the name is because they have other products of the same type——

"Marshmallow—Drifting Version", before deformation, it looks like an oval ping-pong ball-sized round block, white on the top and blue on the bottom, with a thin dividing line in the middle, engraved with the symbol of p-1.After the switch is turned on, the upper and lower sides of the round block will expand at different rates. The white side is slower and softer, and the blue side is faster. harden.Because of the different speeds, what appeared in the end was not a ball, but a round lifeboat.

This deformed boat can support a weight of 150 kilograms in water without sinking, and it will not dissolve in seawater, but it will be dangerous if it rains acid.The white sugar inside can be eaten, or you can tear off a ball and use it as a filter.After experiments, although the seawater filtered by it is not as pure as tap water, it has reached the level of drinking.

……

"Cotton Candy—Floating Version" is simply a small white ball, only a little bigger than a marble, and the symbol on it is f-1.This kind of marshmallow will become more than 1 times its original volume after it expands, because it is very light, and the weak airflow can drive it to fly into the sky, so it must be pulled with a rope after it is activated, otherwise it will fly Far.

This kind of "sugar silk" is inedible, and its surface structure imitates certain plants, which makes it have the function of absorbing water. Even in arid desert areas, raising this cotton candy ball to a high altitude will not hurt it. It can slowly collect a large amount of fresh water, and it can "suck up" in up to three or four hours.When more and more water is absorbed, the mass of the sphere becomes larger, and it will fall to the ground. At this time, people can squeeze out a large amount of fresh water from it, and it can be drunk directly as long as it is filtered and boiled. .With this, the water shortage in arid areas can be alleviated to a great extent.If there are adventurous people who go to the desert to explore again, as long as they wear a small bag of "marbles", they will be able to obtain a nearly inexhaustible source of water.It's also the only one in the marshmallow series that can be reused—as long as the user doesn't mind the hassle of packing and carrying the giant sugar balls.

……

"Marshmallow—Absorptive Edition" is also a ball that looks like a marble. There are two products, one is dark blue with "x-1" written on it; the other is light green with "x-2" written on it. [-]".

The dark blue one is a deformation of the floating version. It can rise into the sky after expanding, but it will fall down in half an hour at most.Moreover, the structure of the surface of the sugar silk is also completely different. The gaps between the fibers are very large, and there is a layer of translucent, honey-like viscous liquid on it, which has strong adhesion.It can stick to any substance except pure gas. It is a product specially designed to solve the serious smog problem in the sugar country. A sugar ball can clean about [-] cubic meters of tiny particles in the air. When there are more impurities on the surface, it will also fall due to gravity.

The air quality in City A has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. The x-2 that Rongyuan put on it only rose for about ten minutes before it started to fall. A look of disgust.

The sugar ball was originally a translucent light blue after swelling, but now it has completely turned dark brown, and it spreads flat on the ground like a disgusting pile of mud.This kind of sugar ball itself is a type that will quickly degrade under weak acid conditions. After a while, the sugar ball disappears, leaving only a large black stain on the ground.Suddenly, something moved in the smudge, and a small, dark bird stood up, flapped its wings, and flew away.

Rong Yuan wrote on the note: "Add: Miniature Ultrasonic Bird Repeller."

The light green x-2 has the same effect, but its dissolution conditions are relatively harsh and its mass is relatively large. It can be soaked in sea water and lifted up in about 10 minutes. It becomes a mixture of black oil, various heavy metals, pesticides, It is a collection of garbage of detergent and other substances, and it is more disgusting than x-1 in appearance.It was also inevitable that a few small fish would be caught up, but it was probably too poisonous, before Rong Yuan waited for someone to rescue them, these small fish would have died.Rong Yuan also wrote down the need to add a fish-trapping device.

Zhou Yuan pinched his nose and sprayed some dissolving solution on the garbage collection. Watching the pile of black matter slowly collapse, he said worriedly: "I also hope that the cotton candy can purify the air quality of City A and control the sea. What! A sugar ball can only clean up such a small area, and City A alone is so big, how many marshmallows will it take to clean it up?"

Rong Yuan said: "That's an issue that the city government needs to consider, why bother!"

After several months of getting along, Zhou Yuan no longer trembled in front of Rong Yuan, she retorted in a low voice: "I'm not afraid that it won't be effective and won't be sold in the future!"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a market." Jin Yang said optimistically, "I'm afraid that in the future it won't be a problem of not being able to sell, but a problem of insufficient supply."

……

In addition, there are two other products that are not considered inventions at all in Rong Yuan's opinion, but can only be regarded as derivatives.

"Marshmallow—Children's Edition" is actually based on the elastic version, and the original shape and the deformed product are made into cartoon images, and the sweetness is heavier. In addition, the colors are colorful. This piece is far away Don't care about it completely, it is Jin Yang who is enthusiastically designing various patterns and colors.The change in appearance was also made by Jin Yang unintentionally, but the appearance after the swelling... well, ugly and cute.

"Marshmallow - night version", in simple terms, is coated with some fluorescent powder, the core has a small light-emitting sound-generating device, when activated, the surface will flash a variety of particularly bright colors, and at the same time emit harsh sounds similar to The police car arrived with the sound of "Woooo~oooh~".According to Zhou Yuan, if a single girl or a child encounters a villain at night, starting this marshmallow can not only protect the person in 360 degrees, but also scare away the villain with a conspicuous color sound. She also wants to be on it Rong Yuan was not interested in installing positioning and alarm devices, and let her figure it out by herself.

……

Whether the product is qualified or not cannot be explained by one test result.All versions of marshmallows have gone through repeated inspections and adjustments, which will take another two months. During this period, Rong Yuan went to school to take a mock exam and easily won the championship again.

Then finally when it was time for the actual production and promotion, Rong Yuan took a bunch of materials from research institutes and companies to look at for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Yangyang, how is your financial plan going?"

"I bought a few funds, and I lost money and made money. What's wrong?" Jin Yang asked, because he was busy studying and paying attention to Rong Yuan's invention, he didn't have time to manage money, most of the money was still in the bank to accumulate dust .

"I said... How about you invest in me?" Rong Yuan asked.

Zhou Yuan, who was washing dishes by the sink, put down the rag and looked over in surprise.
