Half a month has passed since Xiao Chuan discovered the new protein crystal, and the restlessness around him has also fallen silent.

He returned to his day-to-day scientific life, but now every day is colorful and hopeful for him, and he is racing against time to write his papers.

Even now that it's late at night, he's still drawing diagrams from his papers in his dorm room.

On the day of the string, although Lao Liu was jealous, he was really happy for his brother, and he drank with Senior Sister Du, so he really drank a lot.

After drinking, the two brothers talked freely, and Lao Liu strengthened his belief and determined to be like Xiaochuan. So now at this point, he hasn't come back yet.

So he made a phone call

"Hey, Lao Liu, come back and sleep"

"Got it, I'll stare at the experiment for a while, you can rest first"

Xiaochuan glanced at the time, and thought to himself that Lao Liu is going crazy, it's a big deal I sent him an article to help him graduate, go and talk to the teacher, I don't know if it can be done.

Thinking wildly, he gradually fell asleep.

Bang, bang, bang......

Xiao Chuan was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival that went down in history, but was awakened by the sudden sound of slamming the door.

He looked at his phone in a daze: two o'clock in the morning.

"Lao Liu, you are doing your experiment, why don't you even bring the key. He muttered and got up to open the door. In the doctoral dormitory between the two, there is no one else except Lao Liu.

After opening the door, Xiao Chuan rubbed his eyes vigorously, it was indeed Lao Liu, but he seemed to be flustered.

"Ogawa, what you found is that there are protein crystals in cocci that can achieve resistance? When I was looking through the literature on the Internet, I found that there is an article that just appeared in the magazine today that is very similar to what you did!"

"What?!"

Xiaochuan was suddenly awakened, this, if this is really the case, then isn't his discovery in vain?

"I'll take a look!" Xiao Chuan pulled a piece of clothing and ran to the laboratory.

"Hey, you can check ...... dormitory"

But before Lao Liu's words fell, Xiaochuan had disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Swiping open the door of the laboratory, Xiao Chuan immediately went to turn on the computer first, he rushed all the way from the dormitory, and now he can barely breathe, it has been too long since he has exercised so vigorously.

He took advantage of the opportunity to pour a glass of water, and when he came back, he began to search the database with the keywords he had studied.

In the middle of the night, the network speed in the laboratory is really super fast, whether it is playing games or checking literature.

Ogawa immediately found his goal, and it was really exactly the same discovery, even the strains used were the same, and although the experimental methods and reagents were different, they were similar. In this way, it was published by this famous university in the top international academic journals, and it definitely has a huge influence.

"This ......"

Xiao Chuan's brain is blank, so he has been slow for so many days? My discovery has already been preempted by others? So all the work I have done for so many years has been in vain?

Thousands of nights of hard work, the careful teaching of the teacher, the selfless assistance of the brothers and sisters, and the ardent expectations of the parents at home have all become useless?

Ogawa felt as if the whole world had lost its color.

"Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan, are you okay?"

Lao Liu also rushed to the laboratory out of breath, he really couldn't rest assured of Xiaochuan's state, so he hurriedly followed out to have a look.

"Ogawa, is it really the worst outcome?"

Although he felt very unbearable, Lao Liu still asked this question gently

"That's right, this article made my discovery useless", Ogawa smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes full of loneliness.

went up and patted his buddy on the shoulder, Lao Liu wanted to say something comforting, but as an old man, he knew what a blow this was to Xiaochuan.

When the words came to his lips, he couldn't speak.

The two were relatively speechless, and finally Lao Liu said, "Xiaochuan, let's go back and rest tonight, and tomorrow we will discuss with your mentor and Professor Yang and Senior Sister Du to see how we can make the greatest recovery." ”

"You go back, I want to be quiet by myself" Ogawa stared at his experiment record, and now he really couldn't listen to anything.

Lao Liu sat with him for a while, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he glanced at Xiaochuan and had to go back first.

Xiao Chuan sat quietly, I don't know how long it took, slowly the birdsong outside the window became more and more crisp, and the outside gradually lit up, and the School of Biological Sciences slowly became lively.

"Ogawa, come here so early, are you writing an article, now you really need to race against time, haha"

Senior Sister Du's hearty voice came from the door, and Xiao Chuan subconsciously raised his head.

"What's wrong with you?"

Senior Sister Du walked in and was startled by Xiaochuan's pants, vest and coat, and saw his expression, Senior Sister Du felt a "chuckle" in her heart.

"Senior sister, my discovery has been preemptively published by others......"

"What? Really, there must be a big difference, right?"

"It's really the same, senior sister, come and see this article." Xiao Chuan casually picked up the article that had already been printed out by him and handed it to his senior sister.

After reading the paper, Senior Sister Du was also in a trance, how could such a thing be encountered by such an excellent junior brother......

But she quickly reacted, "Xiaochuan, listen to me, I read the article, although the things found are the same, but your methods and reagents are not exactly the same, and your article is now close to submission, we will help you write it out and submit it at the fastest pace, and the reviewer will know that the article cannot be plagiarized by you." In this way, even if it can't be published in the top international journals, there will be a very good article."

Xiao Chuan glanced at his senior sister gratefully, this is indeed the best explanation and idea now.

"You two are very early today", Professor Wang also appeared at the door of the laboratory, Senior Sister Du raised her head, but stopped talking.

At this time, Xiao Chuan finally mustered up the courage and told the teacher what happened.

Professor Wang is also in his fifties this year, and although he has been honored, he has always struggled in the front line of scientific research.

Even with his many years of scientific experience, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He glanced at the lonely student distressedly, and said, "I have heard about it over there, they are indeed doing similar research, but they have been doing it for a while without results, I thought they had shifted the direction, who knew that this time it was such a coincidence." ”

"But Xiaochuan, you have to know that they are a whole team that has been studying for so many years, but you are only one person, and although our hardware conditions are top in China, there is still a gap compared to them, so you don't have to be frustrated, I want to say that you are actually much better than their entire team. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, Xiaochuan, you have to realize your own excellence, this time it's just bad luck, but you will really be a very good scientist", Senior Sister Du also continued to comfort.

"Thank you, teacher, thank you, sister, I know, I may need to slow down for a while. ”

Xiao Chuan raised his head, his eyes were still a little scattered, and he didn't know if he was discouraged or tired from sleeping in the middle of the night.

"Okay, calm down, your discovery is definitely still valuable now, you have to have confidence. Xiao Du, you let everyone go to the study room first, and try not to disturb Xiao Chuan today. The professor's tone was also a little low.

The teacher and Senior Sister Du both left the laboratory, and the other senior brothers and sisters did not come in, Xiaochuan looked at everything in the laboratory, all kinds of reagents, medicines, instruments, this is the place where he has struggled for hundreds of days and nights, it is really kind.

He suddenly saw the container containing the protein crystals, "You can't be the first, follow others to publish content, this is bullshit." He picked up the container and muttered, "Can you increase resistance, it seems to be very suitable for me now." ”

Slowly, he picked up a few more major reagents from the table, poured them into them along with his crystals!

Poured into the mouth!

I don't know if I can become Spider-Man or something, he thought to himself.

But suddenly, he had a severe abdominal pain, accompanied by a burning sensation in his throat, he wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't make a sound, he couldn't stand anymore, and brought down an unknown number of bottles and cans, and the crisp sound of ping-pong sounded in the laboratory.

His consciousness slowly blurred, he regretted being so impulsive, he remembered the people who had been helping him and encouraging him, thinking of his parents who were silently taking care of him, and he really wanted them to spend their old age in peace......

And the goddess of the laboratory downstairs, senior sister asked you to make an appointment that time, did she help me convey it?

"Ogawa!" Listening to a scream from near and far, Ogawa's vision went dark.
