Huang Mao drooled over the newly purchased low-temperature ultracentrifuge and exclaimed: "This one is newer than the model in Professor Cai's laboratory, and my laboratory is very different." ”
"As long as I can make something, I'm not afraid to spend money. Yang Rui pasted a table of precautions and time allocation for centrifuges on the wall and said, "Now, there are two working groups in our laboratory. One is a working group composed of you and me, and the other is a working group composed of Wei Zhenxue and Tu Xian, we give priority to the use of equipment, but we also have to apply two days in advance, and urgent tasks are temporarily discussed and decided, but try not to interfere with the work of other groups. ”
"I understand. Huang Mao nodded again and again: "In the laboratory where I used to work, there were seven or eight working groups, and they had to reallocate time once a week, and it would be a stroke of luck to be able to strive for 12 hours of continuous time. ”
"This should be discussed with Lao Wei, at least half of the time, unless their experiment is particularly intense. Yang Rui paused for a moment, went out and shouted in the yard: "Old Wei, have you used a cryogenic centrifuge recently?"
"No, I don't. Wei Zhenxue was also busy, and shouted from the next room, but there was no sound again.
Yang Rui came back and shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that the time is all ours." ”
"When you want to use it, you can use it whenever you want?"
"Yes, you can use it whenever you want. ”
Huang Mao took a deep breath, spit it out and said with a smile: "This is simply the life of my dreams, the best instrument, use it to your heart's content, no one is competing for ......"
Huang Mao said with some feelings. It is also that the conditions of Sinovel laboratories are so good, as far as China in the 80s is concerned, a laboratory equivalent to the national standard is quite rare, and usually only professor-level figures can have it. In fact, ordinary bull professors may not be able to get a national-level standard laboratory.
As far as China's current allocation of scientific research funds is concerned, high-end laboratories are far from enough, and even if the funding is increasing and the level of laboratories is improving, it is not the turn of small lecturers like Huang Mao to enjoy it.
Therefore, Yang Rui easily tempted him, and said with a smile: "This is also my dream life." Researchers understand the needs of researchers best, and you have made the right decision by signing the agreement with Sinovel Labs. Let's find you two more experimental assistants, our research team is complete, have you written the experimental outline?"
"I think the first step is to apply DNA probe technology, as long as the mutant gene is confirmed and the paper is written, even if we have a good position, even if we can't get all the original qualifications, we should be able to maintain the leading position if we continue......
"Divide the whole big paper into smaller ones?"
"I know, I know, if we can clone the mutant gene to determine some of the effects of potassium channels, this paper may be in a top journal, but isn't this a scientific competition? Huang Mao was worried that Yang Rui would not agree, so he tried his best to persuade him.
Most of the papers that can be listed in top journals are long-term research and extremely valuable papers. It's not uncommon for a research team to spend three, five, or even twenty years working on an article and then publishing it in a top journal like Science. Of course, more often than not, after 20 years of research, it turns out that it doesn't get into top journals at all.
Although some of some people's papers are written in a short time and published in top journals, the level of this kind of article is not inferior, and it naturally puts forward higher requirements for paper writers.
Studying potassium channels by cloning mutant genes is the idea of a top journal that has a good chance of being published, however, top journals don't want to be half-finished, they will ask for answers, that is, the whole series of experiments is completed and analyzed to get the results.
At a normal research pace, it would be normal for this project to take a year or two.
However, if Richard can't let go of the temptation of the project and insists on researching it, then the normal progress of the research will not be enough.
Phased research and periodic publication of articles are usually the best choice at this time.
Yang Rui, who was worried by Huang Mao, just smiled and said, "I agree." ”
"You...... You agree, that's great. Huang Mao clasped his hands together and breathed a big sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, Yang Rui pulled Sun Ruyue and He Cheng to his laboratory.
Sun Ruyue is his experimental assistant at Peking University, and experiments such as potassium channels, which are mainly used to improve the forced grid and have patents, Yang Rui is ready to do them at any time in the two laboratories, which can be regarded as testing the school's reaction.
He Cheng's Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology had an early exam and was now in its final stages, allowing him to find time to participate in Yang Rui's experiments.
Such two undergraduate students as experimental assistants are naturally not as good as graduate or doctoral students' experimental assistants.
However, because Yang Rui has considerable confidence in the experiment, he doesn't care about the knowledge level of the experimental assistant itself.
In the next week, in addition to exams, Yang Rui spent all his time in the laboratory of Huarui, occasionally going to the laboratory of Tang Zhong to order something, but also to read literature, write outlines, or do some related independent experiments.
The electrophoresis laboratory in Tang Zhong originally studied molecular biology, and things like DNA probes were also within the scope.
Of course, even if it is not in the scope, Tang Zhong will not care about him, not to mention that Yang Rui has recently published several high-level papers in a row, and his unyielding and unswerving style of poverty is also worthy of Tang Zhong's encouragement.
If it weren't for the consistency with the academy's policy, Tang Zhong would have pounced on the poaching Richard a long time ago and tore him apart.
Yang Rui was able to insist on staying, and it was impossible for Tang Zhong to say that he was not touched at all.
Invisibly, Yang Rui's status in the Tang Concentration Laboratory has been improved.
At the end of the month, Li Xuegong and Xu Jing, who were about to take a vacation, also briefly joined Sinovel Labs. However, Xu Jing was obviously a little overwhelmed by the work of the laboratory, and only stayed for two days before quitting again.
Liu Shan doesn't like boring labs either, but she's willing to stay in them.
In 84, Zhongguancun was desolate and could catch rabbits, Liu Shan changed her original intention after coming twice, and when she came for the third time, she brought a full food box.
The handmade wooden food box is larger than the cage drawer of the xiaolongbao, and is four stories high, like two computer cases together.
Watching Liu Shan move this huge food box into the laboratory, Yang Rui and Huang Mao, who were doing experiments, were stunned.
"I asked my classmates to make it, and then I made you something to eat. I don't think the things you buy outside are very clean, so you should eat less. Liu Shan blushed slightly.
"You are at the University of International Business and Economics, not in the Blue ...... Basket Technical School, how can you make such a big box?" Yang Rui first walked around the huge food box.
Liu Shan took off the food box layer by layer and said, "The father of a girl in our dormitory is a carpenter, and she learned from it. I don't know how many of you have it, so I made it for 5 people, with tomatoes and eggs, mushu meat, stir-fried cabbage, mixed radish, ......"
"How much does a meal cost for five? It's too expensive, I'll pay you. Li Xuegong took the initiative to dig out his pocket.
In the 80s, personal wages were very low, and prices were actually very expensive relative to wages. Although the price of one or two cents and a pound of rice noodles is only one-tenth or even one-third of the price of later generations, the living conditions of most civil servants are not as good as the monthly salary of 1,200 yuan in later generations under the monthly salary level of 40 yuan.
Because of this, a dinner party was a big deal in the 80s and was often decided by a family meeting.
Although Liu Shan cooks her own meals, she has meat and eggs, and it costs a lot of money.
Liu Shan didn't accept Li Xuegong's money, and said with a smile: "The money given by the Ruixue Group before has not been used up, and there are still leftovers to buy vegetables and meat, so you don't have to give it." ”
"Go out of the experimental funds, and let He Cheng settle the accounts when it's over. Yang Rui also stopped Li Xuegong, and said with a smile: "The rice is still steaming, let's have more Liu Shan, eat first." ”
"yes, it's a waste when it's cold. Liu Shan happily served rice to a few people, and then poured egg tomato juice into Yang Rui's bowl, adding the most eggs.
Huang Mao glanced at Yang Rui with deep meaning, cleaned the rice in two bites, added another bowl, and quickly finished eating, patting his stomach: "I continue to work." ”
Li Xuegong, He Cheng and Sun Ruyue are also faster than one another, and the time is tight, and the experimental time is naturally tight.
