“——”

Facing two pairs of eyes full of incomprehension, Zheng Jianguo gave up the idea of continuing to go around in circles, and after organizing the vocabulary in his mind, he said: "We don't have to consider the cost of the laboratory, so the time factor you said is a problem, but if you do that, compared with the uncertain results obtained, I feel that we take some time to cultivate it ourselves, so as to minimize the pollution and interference of other fungi and unreliable factors, so that our results will be more accurate and objective——"

"Interference and sample contamination due to differences in microbiota in different patients!"

Catherine's cold face finally changed slightly, the Helicobacter pylori provided by the digestive center are all biopsied from patients, but even with the more primitive means of testing now, the process time does not take more than 3 days, and most of them can get the results in 1 day or 2 or two days after the test.

And the laboratory where I am located, needless to say, will run for at least a few years, and in such a long span, to do comparative studies with Helicobacter pylori detected in different patients, as long as you imagine it, you can know such results, it is extremely uncertain!

"His observation is really as sharp as the rumors!"

A pair of blue eyes swept across Zheng Jianguo's face, and Catherine's expression moved slightly, and she nodded and said: "You're right! Using the Helicobacter pylori provided by the digestive center for a long time will cause uncertainty in the research results due to the subtle differences in the microflora in different patients, which is a big problem for long-term research!"

"Yes, since we want to do our best, we must use the strictest standards to demand ourselves. ”

Seeing that Catherine had lost her previous arrogant appearance, Zheng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the second set of plans originally prepared in the baggage could be left, waiting for the next opportunity to come up again: "Wait until the design is completed and do a hundred repeated tests——"

"So much?"

Esther subconsciously blurted out, of course she knew that the purpose of repeating the test was to verify the accuracy of the design and research results, and it was the basic process to verify whether the design was reasonable or not, and of course, the next moment she understood the benefits of doing so: "Then compare it with the sample from the digestive center?"

"Then you can fill in the data into the paper!"

What is the significance of research? According to utilitarianism, the purpose of research is to publish articles, which will bring reputation, status and benefits to researchers, and it is also the ultimate goal pursued by all researchers, and Catherine and Esther in front of Zheng Jianguo are naturally one of these people.

It's just that Esther is a little curious: "This can publish a paper?"

"Verified the differences in Helicobacter pylori on different biopsies, of course, this can be regarded as a paper, plus you have designed the culture standard for Helicobacter pylori, the novelty and purpose of this article can help other peers learn, I feel that it can almost be posted to The Lancet?"

Zheng Jianguo pretended not to care and said, he only has one paper published in the four major medical journals this year, which was co-signed by Tao Ye at the beginning of the solar calendar, seeing that it is now April, there are many papers reviewed for such a long time, but there is no own, presumably the editors of these journals should be muttering in their hearts: "Of course, this paper needs to be tied for the first author——"

"Oh, you're the boss, you say it~"

Catherine said with a re-moved expression, and Esther was still in a trance: "Would you like to tie for first place with us?"

"Catherine called me boss, I can't let you run and don't let you eat grass, right?"

Zheng Jianguo has no rejection of someone who can be juxtaposed with him, in fact, he will be happier if he replaces these two with Chinese people.

However, considering that the following research cannot be completed in China, then this will establish his own relationship circle as quickly as possible, just imagine the scene that his friends are all Nobel Prize winners, Zheng Jianguo is afraid that he can wake up happily from sleep: "Of course, this is due to the fact that I can only come here for one and a half days a week, and it is also said in consideration of the joint training qualifications of the two of you MD and PhD, and I don't need to remind you about other disciplinary matters, right?"

"Thank you!"

Rarely, Catherine showed a smile, although it was a flash, but it made Zheng Jianguo's heart beat faster, and he somewhat understood why this person always had a straight face: "You look good when you smile——"

"Catherine just looks so good when she laughs, that's why she usually looks like that~"

Esther and Catherine have been together for a few days, of course they know why she has a straight face, and when she sees people, she looks like she is not approaching: "Do you want to catch up with this progress?"

"Hurry, there's also the cultivation and observation of Helicobacter pylori in an acidic environment, and its whole-genome sequencing—"

Of course, Zheng Jianguo knew what the next research would be, and he had given up these two hot spots in order to prepare for the medical graduation exam, who would have thought that no one had published relevant research articles now, so it was a matter of course to catch up with the progress now: "It just so happens that one of you is responsible for one, and then we will sign it together." ”

"Isn't there a director's business?"

Emotions appeared on Catherine's cold face again, and Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and smiled: "Then it depends on her performance after she comes back." ”

"Well, Catherine, Esther, this is the coffee I brought you, and I bought it on the way. ”

As Zheng Jianguo's voice fell, the two doors of the closed laboratory were pushed open, and a young man with curly hair appeared wearing a loose white coat, with some freckles on his high-nosed and deep-eyed face, and two paper bags in his hands.

"Well, Dr. Zheng, this is the computer administrator that the hospital assigned us, Jack Edison, a bachelor of computer science from MIT. ”

Esther looked at Zheng Jianguo and finished his introduction, and Jack next to him had already run in front of him, stretching out his hands with a smile on his face: "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"You're welcome, please take care of me in the future~"

Feeling the power of the other party's hands, Zheng Jianguo felt that this person's enthusiasm was a little too high, and the little thought that came to his mind before was pressed back by him: "Our research results are very important, don't forget about backup." ”

"You're welcome, don't worry about my work, I promise it won't go wrong, oh, this cup is the coffee I brought you-"

Jack let go of his hand and rubbed his hands to look left and right, then took out the coffee in the paper bag and put it in front of Zheng Jianguo, who also took it and tested the temperature, only to see that the goods took two cups of coffee and handed them to Esther and Catherine, but the latter quickly shook his head and said with a cold face: "I don't drink coffee, thank you." ”

"Oh, that's fine, you don't drink me, it won't be wasted anyway-"

Jack subconsciously self-exonerated, and Zheng Jianguo glanced at him and turned into the office.

It wasn't until 13 o'clock that Zheng Jianguo was accompanied by Catherine and Esther to meet all the staff of the laboratory again, and in the rest of the time, in addition to arranging for all members to introduce themselves, he also applauded and said today's work: "Now divide into two groups, one group will use the ready-made Helicobacter pylori in the digestive center for analysis, and the other group will begin to prepare to design their own culture of Helicobacter pylori——"

Since the problems at work had already been discussed before, Zheng Jianguo was like the person in charge of the laboratory at this time, that is, he had issued the task in the style of the boss in the mouth of the researchers, and the other people in the laboratory looked at Catherine and Esther without speaking, so they all insisted on silence and waited for him to continue to speak.

Seeing that no one objected, Zheng Jianguo originally thought that there would be a thorn like Daisy here, or he wanted to give himself a dismount, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so obedient: "Every Thursday afternoon and Friday all day is the time when I come here to work, if you have any questions, you can go directly to the office to find me, and if you have any questions at other times, please contact your group leader Catherine or Esther directly——"

On the first day of work in the experimental office of the digestive center, considering that there was a water dispenser here, Zheng Jianguo only brought a cup and a coffee pot, and then a small bottle of ground coffee, and even journals and magazines.

Of course, this does not mean that Zheng Jianguo can be idle, and soon with Esther taking the lead, a day and a half in a row was spent in the signing review and review and signing, from the requisition of reagents to the electron microscope purchase application for fixed assets, after the staffing is in place, it is to add various instruments and equipment according to the planned needs——

Thursday and Friday were busy for two days in a row, Zheng Jianguo was idle on Saturday, and the data in the physics laboratory was almost not updated, if it weren't for the addition of the word Hall spin in the ongoing project on the whiteboard, he thought that the past week had not changed much.

After squatting in the physics laboratory for a day and a half of leisure time, Zheng Jianguo went to the rice noodle shop to eat a meal of rice noodles with a 20% discount, and found that there were no people selling antiques and sets, so he returned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and touched the ground on the notepad.

It's just that when the elevator Zheng Jianguo was riding opened, the two heavily armed school policemen in front of him blocked the door: "Hello, sir, may I ask what you are doing at MIT?"

"I'm here for Celia in this biology lab, I'm her lab partner, and Zheng Jianguo, an associate professor in Professor Thomas's physics lab—"

Seeing that the two policemen were MIT school policemen, Zheng Jianguo also understood that his behavior had aroused the vigilance of others, so he took out his work card from his pocket and handed it over, one of them took it and signaled the other to retreat to the side, and after watching him come out, he said to the walkie-talkie on his shoulder: "The identity of the other party has been confirmed, Zheng Jianguo, an associate professor in Professor Thomas's laboratory, is a Chinese teenager who is going to look for Celia in the biology laboratory——"

"HE IS FROM THE REPUBLIC, HIS ID NUMBER IS 198003, HIS ENGLISH NAME IS ZHENGJIANGUO, TODAY IS THE DAY HE COMES TO WORK-"

With a series of data checks on the police walkie-talkie, the policeman who took the work card returned it to Zheng Jianguo, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"It's okay, you're doing your job—"

Fooling around, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but think suspiciously of the school police who used to act alone, why there were two people patrolling this weekend to find Celia and tell her what happened, so he heard her say: "There was an attempted explosion at the Southern California Institute of Technology the day before yesterday, and now the school police should be more vigilant, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"Then it can only be said that you picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. ”

Zheng Jianguo quickly took out the checkbook from his pocket and opened it, wrote a cash check for $10,000 in the latest one, then signed it, tore it off and handed it to her, and said, "I believe that your future life will definitely be more than 10,000 dollars, or even 100,000 dollars——"

Celia looked at the check for 10,000 yuan in her hand in a daze, she didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to trust her so much, and actually handed over the cost of renting the laboratory to her to pay, originally she thought that Zheng Jianguo would let her take it to pay the money, but she saw another check in front of her: "Given that the income threshold is $1,000, I decided to give you a salary of $980, you won't think I'm cheating on you, right?"

"No, you're just avoiding taxes reasonably—"

Celia took the two checks and looked at them, quickly stuffed them into her pocket, and then looked at the empty laboratory, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to show you around?"

"No, I've been in the lab for the past three days, and I don't want to stay any longer. ”

After looking around and finding that the laboratory was quite tidy, Zheng Jianguo ignored the musty smell flashing on the tip of his nose, the MIT laboratory was only $6,000 a month, which showed how terrible the purchasing power of dollars was at this time: "Do you want me to send you to pay the money?"

"No, I'll go by myself, of course, if you're not at ease—"

Celia tilted her head as she spoke, and Zheng Jianguo turned around and waved his hand to leave: "Then it's decided, if you have something to call me, I will contact you as soon as possible, of course, if there is an emergency, you also know where I live and where I work-"

Zheng Jianguo's bearing is very large, facing acquaintances who have met less than five times, he can hand over 11,000 US dollars to the other party, this kind of thing is beyond Celia's cognition and understanding, she has handled the most cash from the day she was born to now, or the tuition fee of 6,800 yuan when she reported to the school, although there are still tuition fees that exceed this number from then on, it is the parents of the family who personally pay her to the school.

11,000 US dollars is already almost twice the amount of money that Celia handled at that time, so she looked at Zheng Jianguo's distant back, she was very moved, and her eyes were hot-

It's just that Celia didn't know that Zheng Jianguo's thoughts were so helpless at this time: "This is still no one, and you can't put on a defensive posture and let her take it to pay the money, forget it, compared with the money that will continue to be invested later, but it can't be smaller, if she runs away with this money - how to change from a college student to a fraudster?"

At this moment, Zheng Jianguo still felt in his heart that there were too few people who could use it, but he didn't dare to reveal too much to those adults, just like the check book in his arms, but he would not easily carry it with him, and this was also the reason why he turned around and left after handing over the check to the other party, after all, it was the hearts of people who separated their stomachs.
