12 noon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Rui pinched his watch and announced: "Today's working hours are up, everyone should go home and rest, there is tension and relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts, right?"

"Really resting?" Professor Man Hai looked at Yang Rui in a strange tone.

Yang Rui frowned and said, "Of course it's really resting, didn't I say it yesterday? Everyone rests for half a day and has a good rest, it's not fun to die of overwork." ”

If there was any problem in the scientific community in the 80s that was more serious than "those who build missiles are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs," it is the problem of death from overwork. Academic institutions in Beijing, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have a number of middle-aged scholars who die suddenly every year -- in this era, in fact, there is no concept of death from overwork, but the fact that those who die are researchers in the prime of life is very telling in itself.

When the ion channel laboratory had just carried out the research on "G protein-coupled receptors", Yang Rui didn't care much about this problem. The 110-hour workday is a bit inhumane, but in the 80s, it was nothing.

In the 80s, elementary school students had to attend classes 6 days a week, and slightly better middle schools, and even students in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school, began to make up classes, and there were not a few schools that started morning self-study at 7 o'clock in the morning and left at 10 o'clock in the evening. The scientific research dogs in college are all learned all the way in this way, and college reading is more tiring than ordinary.

However, when the production of bovine rhodopsin protein continued to rise, Yang Rui's sense of crisis decreased a lot, and the requirements for the continuity and safety of the project increased implicitly.

It's like in an F1 race, when the number one car is already far ahead of the second, you can reduce your speed a little, and even make a pit stop to change your tires.

From Yang Rui's point of view, when he used the "Sleepwalking Dafa", the difficulty of the task in the first stage had been reduced a lot.

"The conformation of G protein-coupled receptors" is naturally difficult to do from the front to the back, and it can be done from the back to the front, which is nothing more than a work of trial and error.

Trial and error naturally have costs and requirements, but the most important cost and requirement is actually an astonishing number of easy-to-use "G protein-coupled receptors", for the ion channel laboratory, the "bovine rhodopsin protein" they use is both easy to use and sufficient in quantity.

Therefore, Yang Rui felt that it was time for the speed of the car to slow down slightly, and he could even make a pit stop.

It's a pity that his thoughts at this time have never been recognized by everyone.

The sense of crisis of a group of researchers was much heavier than his, even if Yang Rui seriously announced his rest, several people still refused to leave.

"I've got one more thing to do. ”

"I'll see if there's anything pulling down. ”

"My wife was not at home in the afternoon, and I went back alone to panic. ”

Everyone has their own reasons, but they just don't want to move anyway.

It's a group of scientific research dogs, who do the heaviest work on weekdays, and now they all stick out their tongues, wanting to go but embarrassed to go.

"The door of the laboratory, I'm going to lock it, you have to rest if you don't rest today, go back, ah, go back. Yang Rui felt like a perverted boss, driving people out of the laboratory one by one.

A few people stood at the door, still reluctant to leave, and Man Hai said more seriously: "Director Yang, we followed you to study, just to get results, rest is really not important, now the research progress is improving, I think we should seize the opportunity, don't wait for an afternoon rest, the result is delayed." ”

His words were very much agreed with by the others, and several of them nodded their heads.

Indeed, the new professors who have joined now, whether it is Man Hai, Feng Junming or Tao Xuelin, they are all successful in coming for G protein-coupled receptors, and there are a lot of things to give up, at least, they have put down their temporary face problems.

However, giving up face for the time being is not really not about face, but a temporary compromise made in order to strive for greater face in the future.

In the final analysis, they are optimistic about the ion channel laboratory, and they can achieve a certain success in G protein-coupled receptors, so they will voluntarily join the ion channel laboratory, and for this goal, they can give up temporary face, and of course, they can also give up temporary rest.

The so-called hardship in the bitterness is the only way to become a superior person, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the 80s.

Yang Rui scratched his head and didn't know what to say. To tell the truth, whether the forced half-day rest can have any effect, he can't say, let alone the scientific basis, but he knows that if he keeps doing it at an accelerated pace, there will be nothing today and tomorrow, and nothing will happen this month and next month, but there will be problems after all.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui said: "I think that the results you think are a little different from the results I think." ”

"What do you say?" a group of researchers took a stance to debate with Yang Rui.

"You probably want to make persistent efforts to make the conformation of the transmembrane region of the G protein-coupled receptor, which can be regarded as an achievement, right?" Yang Rui asked.

Man Hai was pushed by someone next to him, and stood up inexplicably, he couldn't figure out Yang Rui's thoughts, so he had to reluctantly speak: "Director Yang, I have this idea, of course, if you want to continue to do it, I also agree with it......"

The director of the laboratory is the person in charge of the laboratory, and he is also the biggest boss of the laboratory. Even though Man Hai is a professor at Peking University, after entering the ion channel laboratory, he still has the style of being a man with his tail between his legs.

After all, Yang Rui's reputation has accumulated to the extent that it is today, and he has already sat firmly at the bottom of his hips, which is difficult to challenge.

Yang Rui is also accustomed to top-down speeches, he looked at the dozens of people around him, coughed lightly, and said: "Since I started to make G protein-coupled receptors, I said that our goal is to make the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors...... Today, I solemnly emphasize that our goal is to make a three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors. Conformation is just the first step in this. ”

The sound of heavy breathing and the suppressed voice in the throat well interpret the mood of everyone at the moment.

"Of course, I know that it is difficult to make the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors, and there is a great possibility that it cannot be done, but the time to judge whether it can be made or not is not now, but should be a year or two years later, or even three or four years later, right?" Yang Rui is not ready to spend several years on the research of G protein-coupled receptors, but it is the norm in the scientific research community to spend a few years.

Even decades of time are extremely normal in terms of basic scientific research.

Yang Rui paused again when he said this, and said: "Actually, it is difficult to say that the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors is difficult to do, is it easy to do the transmembrane conformation? Can anyone guarantee that the transmembrane conformation will be made in a few months, half a year, or a year?"

Everyone bowed their heads and was silent.

Who dares to make this guarantee, if anyone can guarantee that the results of the Nobel Prize worth half a year will be made in half a year, then there must be something wrong with intelligence -- the possibility of being too strong exists, and it is even more likely that it is too stupid.

"So, let's take a break today, and the same will be true in the future, at least two or three days a month. Ensuring a sustainable state of research, okay?" Yang Rui asked as if he were a child.

Several researchers looked at each other and nodded.

Yang Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was really difficult to work in politics.

When he turned around to lock the door, he heard that Man Hai was pushed out again, and asked, "Director Yang, didn't you say a few days ago that the conformation is about to come out......?"

"I have a relatively complete theory, but I need your experiments to support it. Yang Rui laughed twice, like a chicken, threw everyone out, and then said: "Go back to take a bath or something, one by one will stink, well, you can come to the laboratory later tomorrow, all loose strings, the experiment is incomplete......"

Yang Rui took out his posture as a cram teacher and sent the researchers out one by one.

The moment he left the gate, Yang Rui's whole body relaxed, and when he looked up at the sky, he felt that the sky was bluer.

"Go back to sleep. Yang Rui patted Gu Qiang's shoulder, exuding the aura that I want to dream big.
