Chapter 516: The Moon Landing
After the news was released, Tian Lu's mobile phone was very lively for a while.
Although it is only through the primary election and becoming a valid candidate, it is completely different from being officially elected as an academician, but after all, it is an academician of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences!
So the leaders, colleagues, domestic partners, friends, and old classmates all sent congratulatory messages or congratulatory text messages, and after returning home in the evening, Tian Lu received a more enthusiastic congratulatory call from Ye Lan. Especially the father-in-law and mother-in-law, who have taught in the university all their lives, and becoming academicians of the Academy of Sciences can be said to be their ultimate goal.
However, after two or three days, everyone's enthusiasm finally cooled down.
It's just that he passed the primary election, and I don't know how many processes have to go behind, except for those students and subordinates of Tian Lu, or the direct stakeholders of the family members, who pay attention to whether there is the latest news from time to time, even Tian Lu himself quickly put this matter aside.
During the May Day holiday, Tian Lu still didn't make any new "things" after all.
The time is too short, not only because the three days of the May Day holiday is too short, but the key is that the time to move into the future biological building is too short, and the accumulation of Tian Lu some time ago is too short.
Considering all the consequences, Tian Lu had to suppress the urge to make another large sum of money, and patiently slowly accumulated data in his laboratory.
According to Tian Lu's plan, this year's time is another stage of accumulation. The Department of Neurosurgery has accumulated the number of cases of several large-scale collaborative studies and the foundation and foundation of functional neurosurgery, while the Institute of Neurobiology and the laboratory are slowly accumulating data from various experiments, especially those young people, who are gradually integrating into the group and accumulating the necessary experience. As for Taji's own words, in addition to guiding students' studies and researching topics, he is also accumulating. He plans to wait until the drug research team produces results, and at the same time launch a heavyweight invention to add firewood to the future development of the laboratoryγγγγγγ
However, on Wednesday, May 15, Tian Lu took a very rare leave.
"I don't understand."
Feng Lin walked up to Tian Lu with two bottles of beer, handed him one, and then asked with a wink, "Although this is indeed an exciting event. But I've never seen you interested in this before. Why did you deliberately ask for leave today? And what I can't accept is that you even prepared a beer today! Tian Lu, are you really okay? β
Rolling his eyes, Tian Lu said angrily: "Why do you talk so much nonsense?" You're not tired after the night shift, are you? Hurry up and sit down honestly. It's about to start! β
"Hey!"
The more Feng Lin thought about it, the more strange he felt. However, I saw Tian Lu's expression of staring intently at the TV screen at the moment. He thought about it, but still suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being.
But without asking, Feng Lin's heart churned: "There must be something wrong with this kid." Could it be that the family is too lonely after going abroad? It shouldn't be, or is it γγγγγγ β
"Jingle Bell γγγγγγ"
Just as Feng Lin was thinking wildly, a mobile phone rang suddenly ringing in the room.
Frowning, Tian Lu's eyes moved away from the TV screen, and he grabbed the mobile phone on the coffee table a little impatiently, and said without looking at it: "Hey, hello, I'm Tian Lu!" β
"Hello Professor Tian!"
Standard American English came from the other end of the phone, which made Tian Lu slightly stunned, and then immediately felt that this female voice seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't think much for a while, so he just hesitated a little and asked, "May I ask who you are?" β
"I'm Abby from AISI Publishing Group."
The other party replied with a smile: "Professor Tian, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" β
"Oh, it's you!"
Tian Lu immediately remembered the beautiful black pearl, and immediately smiled: "I'm fine, thank you, is there anything you called me for?" β
Seeing that Tian Lu didn't seem to end the call immediately, Feng Lin picked up the remote control and pressed the mute button.
Hearing that Tian Lu immediately remembered herself, Abby seemed very happy, and hurriedly smiled: "Is this Professor Tian, or about your two books, I want to discuss it with you." β
"Those two books? What's wrong? β
Tian Lu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
"Oh, don't worry, it's not an accident."
Abby smiled: "It's your "Blood-Brain Barrier" that is left, and we want to print some more, so according to the contract, we must notify you in advance, and pay you this print print as soon as possible." β
"Sold out again?"
At this time, Zitian Lu was stunned.
Since the launch of "Blood-Brain Barrier" and "Epilepsy Surgery" last year, it can be said that it has been very popular, especially when those partners of Tianlu and some other scientists and physicians have done a lot of scientific research work according to the content of the book, and the results have been published in batches in those more well-known academic journals, which promotes the development of the two disciplines at the same time, but also confirms the knowledge points in the book!
As a result, the popularity of the two books has been further enhanced!
However, in the first half of the year, Aisi Publishing Group had already printed 3,000 copies each, so soon "Blood-Brain Barrier" was sold out again? For a while, Tian Lu was a little unacceptable.
Don't look at the sales of books on the New York Times bestseller list, which often sell hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies, but for a highly professional medical book, especially a professional book such as "Blood-Brain Barrier" and "Epilepsy Surgery", the sales volume has always been small, so their price will be ten times higher than that of ordinary books!
In less than a year, 8,000 copies were sold, which is almost as good as the classic editions in various professional fields!
To know. Those classic books have gone through at least six or seven editions!
"Professor Tian?"
Not hearing an echo from this side, Abby asked in a strange loud voice.
"Oh, I see."
Tian Lu was awakened by the other party, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Great, this sales volume is completely unexpected by me!" Thank you so much! By the way, how many copies are you going to print this time? β
"This time, we are going to print 5,000 copies at a time!"
Abby also said excitedly. After the first two books were sold out, Abby Publishing miscalculated the subsequent sales and cautiously printed 3,000 copies, but at the current rate of sales. It seems that the original choice was really a bit conservative. So they simply prepared to print another 5,000 copies of "The Blood-Brain Barrier" just like the first printing!
"Okay, I have no opinion!"
This is a good thing, no matter how many times the number of prints is added, it is impossible for Tianlu to have an opinion. He was quite puzzled in his heart, naturally he didn't know. As there is more and more evidence of the value of these two books. In many foreign universities. "The Blood-Brain Barrier" has become a must-read for neurobiology majors!
The audience for Epilepsy Surgery is only neurosurgeons, and they are part of the group of neurosurgeons, but the blood-brain barrier. This is an extremely important read for any neuroscience practitioner! Whether you are a basic researcher in neurobiology or a neurosurgeon, including those who are interested in neuromedicine, the increasingly important theory of the "blood-brain barrier" in recent years is a hurdle they cannot avoid!
It can be said that the blood-brain barrier theory has changed the entire landscape of neuroscience to some extent!
After successfully breaking through the blood-brain barrier, not only has the theory of basic research made a big leap, but in the clinic, as the two compounds found before and after Tianlu are ready to be marketed, neurologists and neurosurgeons are gearing up to study the use of neurological drugsγγγγγγ
"All in all, the royalties for 5,000 copies are about $300,000, and we'll get into your account as soon as possible."
Abby said excitedly.
The price of the English version is more than 600 US dollars, and the royalty of 10 percent is as high as 60 US dollars, which is not a small amount for the average person if 5,000 copies are down.
Of course, for the current Tian Lu, this number is really not high, so he smiled indifferently: "Okay, then thank you." β
After the two talked about some details, Tian Lu hung up the phone.
As soon as he put down the phone, Tian Lu immediately grabbed the remote control, turned on the sound of the TV, and asked casually, "How is the situation?" Has it begun? β
"It's going to start right away."
Feng Lin glanced at Tian Lu a little strangely, and replied casually. Sure enough, an impassioned voice immediately came from the TV!
βγγγγγγ After Russia in 2016 and the United States in 2018, we are on the verge of becoming the third country to set foot on the moon in the XXI century! This is a great achievement, and it speaks volumesγγγγγγ β
Tian Lu stared at the TV screen tightly and didn't move.
"For this day, how many scientists and engineers have worked hard to make our aerospace industry once again ahead of Europe, Japan, India and other countriesγγγγγγ
"The countdown is one minute!"
Suddenly, Tian Lu suddenly sat up straight, and Feng Lin was suddenly startled!
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Sevenγγγγγγ"
"Ignition!"
γγγγγγ
"Telemetry is normal!"
γγγγγγ
"The launch was successful!"
"Ohγγγγγγ"
With the sound on the TV, Tian Lu also jumped up and cheered loudly!
"Hey, Tianlu, you γγγγγγ"
Seeing the extremely strange performance of the old friend in front of him today, Feng Lin was really startled in his heart, and looked at Tian Lu with a big mouth, and couldn't understand what was wrong with him today!
"At the speed at which the spacecraft was designed, it will take at least two and a half days for the astronauts to reach the moon, when they will step out of the spacecraft and set foot on the surface of the moon to retrieve ore specimens from the lunar surface for usγγγγγγ"
In the deep voice of the TV announcer, Tian Lu's right arm shook hard, grabbed the beer bottle on the coffee table, laughed and shouted at Feng Lin: "Come, Feng Lin, let's go to the moon for our country and for our brilliant future, dry this bottleγγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
