Chapter 106: Valentine's Day Gifts
The next day, August 17th, the traditional Chinese Qixi Festival.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the hospital held a mid-year work summary meeting for 2018.
The leaders of the party, government, and work groups of the hospital, as well as the secretaries of various branches, and middle-level cadres from clinical, medical technology, and functional departments attended the meeting.
Zhou Wen, as a representative of the testing center, also came to participate.
Listen to the drowsiness below.
In addition to the mid-year and year-end summary report meetings, there are also monthly work reports and summaries, and all of them are meaningless nonsense.
Waste of time, waste of life.
At the end of the two-hour meeting, half a day passed in the morning.
Zhou Wensa didn't remember either.
When I went to the cafeteria to eat, I happened to see Dong Wenying, Huang Xingzhong, and Liu Shan and several of their group members also eating.
Huang Xingzhong moved out of the way and said, "Boss, come and sit." ”
Zhou Wen sat down next to him with a plate.
Huang Xingzhong said happily: "Boss, the laboratory on the seventh floor has been renovated, and it will be able to move there in the afternoon."
In addition, the application report for the special fund has also been submitted, and the Finance Department will ask you to go back and sign it. ”
"yes, I see. ”
Dong Wenying followed and said, "The Lou Xingyu you mentioned is here, and now I'm waiting for you in the office." ”
"Oh, is it?" Zhou Wen was puzzled, and then smiled: "You will be her master when you go back, teach her if you don't understand something, is there a problem?"
"Hmm!" Dong Wenying nodded, and followed: "By the way, Yang Group said that Professor Mixtuart, a yeast prion scientist at the University of Kent in Eagle Country, replied to the email.
He agreed to give us the system, but he said that the yeast identification system was complicated and we couldn't do it.
Because of this system, it takes a deep genetic background to know how it works.
On the other hand, this kind of experimental operation requires many details to be extremely strict, and it is best to have someone who is skilled in this technique to teach it by hand for several years before obtaining all the essentials, otherwise it will not be possible to do it according to the instructions. ”
Zhou Wen smiled.
For a long time, new discoveries in the field of prions have almost been "monopolized" by several foreign research teams in the field of yeast.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Huffman to say that they "can't do it".
After all, compared with the senior teams at Harvard University and MIT, there is a world of difference between their hospitals in terms of experimental conditions and technical experience.
However, he is a hanger.
Therefore, those impossible problems will be solved by him.
"Hehe, I know genetics. As for the operation details, how can you know if you can't do it without trying?"
Looking at the confident smile on Zhou Wen's face, Dong Wenying blushed, and when she lowered her head, her heart was pounding.
Although she has not known Zhou Wen for a long time, this boy who is one year younger than her has an indescribable talent in the field of biology.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a rare ghost talent in the biological world in a hundred years.
Such a boy made her worship to the bones, and willingly prostrate under him for him to drive, without complaint.
After eating, everyone went back to the laboratory together.
Lou Xingyu was waiting for Zhou Wen in the office.
Everyone should have understood everything before, she knew his strengths and weaknesses, and he also knew her depths.
So Zhou Wen didn't say too much nonsense and went straight to the point.
After introducing her next main work, she asked Dong Wenying to take her to the laboratory.
He then went into the lab and began working on human prion protein detection kits.
The basic principle of the assay kit is the same.
What he wants to do is to improve the kit to achieve two purposes: first, it can detect prion proteins in a conventional state;
Second, shorten the detection time of prion proteins.
This is very difficult for the average person, or for the average research team.
The test kit is the most effective detection method invented after countless scientists' research, how can you say that you will improve?
Isn't that a fantasy?
However, this is not a particularly difficult thing for Zhou Wen.
Because Zhou Wen has an ability that no top research institute in the world has, he can directly see prion proteins.
What a rebellious power is this?
He can adjust the ratio at will when adding various reagents such as biotin, avidin, chromogen, diluent, washing solution, etc., and then visually observe the changes in prion proteins.
In terms of speed, it is more than a thousand times faster than that of ordinary research institutes!
The amount of research he does in a day can reach the results of others in a few months, or even a year.
However, when there was already a reference, the work of improving the test kit was carried out very smoothly
Just four hours later, he had successfully modified two formulations, biotin and avidin.
Saying it can scare the reagent researchers all over the world.
The coupling of avidin and biotin to ELISA can make prion detection kits more sensitive, which can play a decisive role in the detection of prion proteins under conventional conditions.
Just when Zhou Wen was about to make persistent efforts, Qin Haitao came over and said, "Teacher, I have your phone." ”
"Who?"
"I don't know. ”
Zhou Wen nodded and asked Qin Haitao to do two sets of testing experiments according to his requirements.
When I came to the office, the landline on the desk rang again.
Zhou Wen sat down and lit a cigarette, and then picked up the microphone and said, "Hey"
"Hey your head. Xu Shuangyu's angry voice came from the phone.
Zhou Wen was surprised: "Hey, when did you come back?"
Xu Shuangyu snorted, "I came back at noon today." ”
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "I'll come back when I come back." Why are you so angry?"
Xu Shuangyu asked, "Do you know what day it is?"
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know." ”
"You idiot! Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, do you remember?"
"Ah, today is the Qixi Festival, I'm busy and dizzy. Zhou Wen was surprised.
Xu Shuangyu said: "It's really fake, don't you know about such an important festival? ”
Zhou Wen took a puff of cigarette and said, "I wrote my paper last night, until half past five in the morning, slept for an hour and a half and went to work again, do you really mean it?"
"Ah" Xu Shuangyu was surprised, and then said with some distress: "Why are you fighting so hard." ”
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Others started thirty years earlier than me, if I don't fight, I won't even be able to see the taillights of other people's cars for the rest of my life." ”
Xu Shuangyu said, "Okay. I'm sorry I misunderstood you."
"It's fine. Zhou Wen paused and said, "Have dinner together in the evening?"
Xu Shuangyu on the other side of the phone was going to be reserved, but when he thought about Zhou Wen's character as a wooden man, maybe he would not be able to push the boat out of the river, so he quickly agreed: "Okay"
The two of them made an appointment on Shantang Street.
There are many traditional Jiangzhou snacks here, street hawkers, and various handicrafts, as well as theaters and hand-cranked boats, with a literary atmosphere.
You can also find the taste of jumping out of the city cage here, the distance is not far and not close, and the feeling is not strong or light, it is a perfect place for couples to go on a date.
However, tonight's Shantang Street is full of people.
The road is full of lovers holding hands, revealing the sour smell of love.
It is also destined that there will be countless tragic battles tonight, the kind that will break the head and bleed
"Wow, this fan looks so good."
"Beauty, you want one"
"Hey, these dolls are so beautiful, how much does it cost?"
"The beauty has a good eye! It's all handmade, and you see, this pair of dolls is like your love, long-lasting, sweet and sweet, and there are lovers who eventually become a couple of 180. ”
Xu Shuangyu smiled at what the stall owner said, and immediately planned to scan the code to pay.
Zhou Wen, who was talking to Qin Haitao on the phone, covered the microphone and said: "This look is poured out by the machine abrasive, and the raised particles on the left ear are exactly the same, so you want 180?"
The pit people are not as pitiful as you. ”
The stall owner subconsciously compared the doll in his hand with the left ear of the doll on the ground, and really, both sets of dolls have the same bulge.
However, the booth is dimly lit, and ordinary people can't see it without looking closely.
The stall owner didn't expect that even this little flaw would be noticed.
Although it was exposed, the stall owner said sharply: "This is really handmade, maybe it's just a coincidence." In this way, you give 160, a small business, you really can't make a lot of money. ”
"20 a pair. Well, I'll give you money. Zhou Wen took out twenty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the stall owner's hand, "That's all, sell it, sell it, don't sell it." ”
After speaking, Zhou Wen stepped aside and continued to talk to Qin Haitao on the phone.
Xu Shuangyu followed behind Zhou Wen with a pair of dolls.
"Hey, hey, add more" The stall owner shouted, seeing that the two people left without looking back, he looked down at the 20 yuan in his hand, and said depressedly: "I could have earned 170"
Zhou Wen and Xu Shuangyu, like ordinary couples, played on Shantang Street for more than two hours.
At ten o'clock, Zhou Wen sent Xu Shuangyu back to school.
At the school gate, Xu Shuangyu said goodbye reluctantly.
A delicate and lovely face is full of reluctance.
Zhou Wen was just about to let the driver go, but Xu Shuangyu shouted again: "Wait a minute." ”
Xu Shuangyu took out a palm-sized wooden box from his shoulder bag, walked over and handed it to the window, "Na, this is for you." ”
"Uh, thank you."
Zhou Wen didn't specially prepare a gift for Xu Shuangyu, but he just bought a pair of dolls when he was on Shantang Street, one for each of them.
However, Xu Shuangyu bought him a lot of small gifts tonight.
Xu Shuangyu waved happily and jumped into the school gate.
On the way, Zhou Wen opened the wooden box and looked at it, and it turned out to be a peptide chain multi-ball amethyst figure, placed on a pale yellow alloy bracket, slowly rotating.
Under the light outside the window, the amethyst figure exudes a dreamlike color, which is simply beautiful.
If you look closely, you will see that the connected covalent bonds are also inlaid with some small pieces, like broken diamonds.
No, it's not like, it's just a broken diamond
Zhou Wen: ""
Regardless of the value, Xu Shuangyu really has to put his heart into it.
Zhou Wen was a little moved, and a love poem from the biology department suddenly came to mind in his mind.
Thoughts are genetically colorful books,
Loneliness spreads like a virus;
I write my love into the nucleic acid probe,
buried deep in your copy at the starting point;
Even if the ultraviolet source appears around us,
Everything in the world is genetically mutated;
Our hearts are still as tightly connected as peptide bonds,
Reminiscing about the days of our biological reactions
