One day, he tore a bamboo filament tied to the edge of a banana fan in the laboratory into filaments and devoted all his energy to carbonization. Only the carbonation experiments of plants have reached more than 6000 kinds. It's been three years since his experiment notebook has more than 200 books and more than 40,000 pages. He works eighteen or nine hours a day. At three or four o'clock every morning, he only sleeps under the experimental table with two or three books on his head. Sometimes he sleeps on the stool three or four times a day for only half an hour at a time.
