Chapter 740: Steady as Mount Tai

Midday. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Professor Cai and Dean Liu stared at the winter sun and rode from Yanyuan to Tsinghua Garden.

Now there is no such tourism project as a university campus tour, so the school gate of the university is open, students come in and out as they go, and only a few people will be stopped and asked, such as Professor Cai and Dean Liu, who have grown on campus for decades, although they are from Peking University, they naturally have the sour smell of university teachers, and the porter let them go at a glance.

The two rode all the way to Yang Rui's temporary office, but in front of the door was General Tie.

"Looking for Yang Rui?" Stretching his waist and legs nearby, the teacher who was slipping around saw it and took the initiative to come over and said: "Yang Rui went to Dongshan to play, and he didn't come back until work time, he has to visit the garden at noon every day, why did you come so early." ”

Dean Liu laughed twice and said, "We are not from Tsinghua University, so we don't know about this." ”

"Oh, no wonder, wait a minute, or come and sit in my room. The teacher said very enthusiastically: "It's cold outside, come in and sit, there are a lot of people who have come to Yang Rui recently, and the young people now are really amazing." ”

"There are a lot of people from other universities who come to Tsinghua University to look for Yang Rui? Isn't he usually in the ion channel laboratory of Peking University?" Professor Cai found that this Tsinghua teacher with slender arms and legs was not from the biology department, so he didn't have to hide his face.

Tsinghua University first established the Department of Biology, and the temporary office assigned to Yang Rui was naturally a needle, and the Tsinghua teacher with slender arms was from the Department of History, and he didn't understand natural science at all, but he said with honor: "Yang Rui is still a student at Peking University, and the ion channel laboratory is not hospitable, isn't it?" ”

Looking up and down Professor Cai and Dean Liu, the Tsinghua teacher with slender arms smiled again: "They all say that Peking University is open, in my opinion, our Tsinghua University is also very open, maybe more open, you say no." ”

"Tsinghua is very good. Professor Cai held the teacup given by others, and he could only say that.

"The best in China. The history teacher with slender arms said with a sense of honor: "Let's not talk about the teaching itself, let's talk about the campus, do you know, Yang Rui walks in Tsinghua Park at least two noons a week, and now it's a month, and he hasn't finished shopping." ”

The history teacher with slender arms pointed out the window and said, "For example, you say the Dongshan where Yang Rui went today." Dongshan is in the near spring garden, the near spring garden is the western half of the Xichun garden, the eastern half of the Qing Dynasty is called the Tsinghua Garden, the current Tsinghua is both including the Tsinghua Garden, and the near spring garden. There is a lotus pond moonlight pavilion in Dongshan, which is the place where Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote the moonlight on the lotus pond, the year before last, in 82 years, Tsinghua University in order to commemorate Zhu Ziqing's famous article "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", specially set up a pavilion in Dongshan, the Tsinghua Garden of that year, in 1927, there was no such moonlight pavilion in the lotus pond, but the lotus pond is very beautiful, this kind of thing of making a plaque to build a hall with the name of the article is also very rare, you such as Peking University, they have money and Hu Shi, but there is no trace, and the bearing is not enough. ”

Professor Cai was angry, he could see that this history teacher with slender arms was an old cowshed, not only had he not reformed his thinking well, but he also spoke without his brain, and it was the best choice to ignore it, but when it came to the reputation of Peking University, Professor Cai had to say more: "I don't promote Qian Mu and Hu Shi because of politics, not because of temperament." The Lotus Pond Moonlight Pavilion was built not because of the magnanimity, but because of the reconstruction of the Spring Garden, which coincided with its meeting. ”

"Academia is academic, and politics is politics. Qian Mu's generation of masters of Chinese studies is the status of a grandmaster, but now he doesn't mention it in the book, which is sad...... "This history teacher has already felt self-pity and self-harm."

Professor Cai didn't bother to talk to him. Qian Mu is naturally a generation of grandmasters, but he himself went to Hong Kong after 49 years, and went to Taiwan many times, and was Chang Kaishen's guest. Not to mention Hu Shih, he was the ambassador of the Nationalist Government to the United States during the Anti-Japanese War, and later he was the dean of Taiwan researchers.

Professor Cai is engaged in natural sciences, and he has never liked to engage in humanistic self-pity and self-harm, so he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I'd better go out and wait for Yang Rui, the room is stuffy." ”

"Good. Dean Liu didn't like this atmosphere even more, and immediately pushed the door out.

The history teacher with slender arms was stunned, and when he saw that the two of them went out in a blink of an eye, he just shook his head: "These people are impatient......

Not long after, Yang Rui and Little White Fang came back on bicycles.

Seeing the two talking and laughing from a distance, Yang Rui saw Academician Cai and Dean Liu, and hurriedly jumped down to say hello.

Little White Fang naturally took over Yang Rui's bicycle, she pushed one bicycle in one hand, and when she arrived at the parking shed, she lifted two bicycles at the same time, crossed the narrow bicycle fence, and gently placed them not far from the door.

Professor Cai and Dean Liu looked at each other silently for a moment, and then turned their gazes tacitly.

"I'm here to see your book "Genomics", and Lao Liu said that you wrote an English version, and you want to publish it abroad?" Professor Cai asked when he met.

Professor Cai guessed, Yang Rui felt that he didn't need to hide it, so he said: "I have this idea, I put it in the room." ”

After opening the door and entering the room, Yang Rui handed over most of the "Genomics" written to Professor Cai, and then smashed the stove to boil water.

The water was boiling, Dean Liu sat next to him and drank tea with peace of mind, looked at his watch from time to time, chatted with Yang Rui, and was in a leisurely state.

But soon, Dean Liu couldn't be at ease.

"It's two o'clock. Dean Liu came to Professor Cai's side and gently reminded him.

"Look at it for a while, look at it again. Professor Cai rubbed his neck, looked at his watch, and said, "If you call back, you will say that I will be late and let the laboratory do it myself." ”

"Okay......" Dean Liu hesitated to call.

Then there was a long waiting time.

At three o'clock, after the scheduled return time had been exceeded, Dean Liu reminded Professor Cai again.

Professor Cai had to raise his head and say, "I don't have enough time, well, Yang Rui, your English writing is very good." ”

"But it's not enough for the level of publication. Yang Rui shrugged and said, "I've changed it for a long time, at most it's only at this level." ”

"Have you considered getting someone to help you polish?"

"My plan is to do it when I'm done. ”

"Well, you can also find a high-level one, in addition, the publisher should also be more considerate, I heard that there are many contract restrictions for foreigners, you have to pay attention. ”

"Yes. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, publishing a book is not like publishing an article, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and the more solid the writing, the better. ”

"Yes. ”

The more Dean Liu listened, the more anxious he became, the two of them said so much, but they didn't discuss the content, shouldn't the content be discussed first when the book is published?

"Do you have a backup? I'd like to take some back and see. Professor Cai flipped as he spoke: "Chapter 6, Chapter 7, and Chapter 10 will also be given to me first." ”

He didn't rush the previous chapters, because the previous chapters were not too novel, but the novelty of the later content was too much, so that Professor Cai was in a state of emptiness.

As a book, or rather, a newly born science, genomics did not jump out of stone in November '84, it has a long development process, just like Yang Rui involved in his lectures.

However, like the birth process of any theory, the initial development of genomics was slow, but with the passage of time, its development is getting faster and faster, and now, and it is also the most critical period, its core arguments have been scattered and exposed, and the remaining half is likely to explode in an instant.

Much of what Professor Cai sees is old, not innovative, and it is inevitable that most of the academic monographs are integrated, but the mechanism of combining them, the structure and the way of organizing, is completely new.

And behind the familiar words, the complete innovation is even more thought-provoking.

"Lao Liu, you take me. Professor Cai took a copy of the three chapters of genomics, looked at it as he walked, and when he arrived at the parking shed, he still didn't want to put it down, so he simply sat on the back seat of Dean Liu's bicycle.

Dean Liu straightened the bicycle with difficulty, looked at Professor Cai who was sitting like a pine with worry, and the soles of his feet couldn't help but feel a little weak, and said, "It will take thirty or forty minutes to ride back like this." ”

"Don't worry, ride steadily. Academician Cai's attention was all on the copy in his hand, and half of his arm was behind the seat, even if he was stable.

Dean Liu used his strength to eat milk and reluctantly pedaled the bicycle.

On this day, in the Tsinghua Garden, which is known as the most beautiful, there is a middle-aged and elderly cadre, carrying the beautiful scenery of another middle-aged and elderly cadre.

Academician Cai didn't care about these things, and sat as steady as Mount Tai.
