Chapter 56: Relax
Inside the headphones, the voice of Charles, who was in charge of the leadership, rang out from time to time.
"Computer line scan control, parameter setting. Phil, constant current set 0.6nA"
"Done."
"Johnny, tip bias set at 60mV."
"The tunnel current is not stable enough, which may be due to poor tip treatment."
Zhou Zhen said: "I haven't dealt with it just now, so I'm going to buy food." ”
Johnny said, "Okay, wait for me for two minutes." ”
"Steve, the Z voltage on the piezoelectric ceramic material in the 3D scan controller is stable at 180 mV."
"Okay, sure."
Gardner, the leader of the group, carefully placed the processed samples into the equipment. "I'm ready."
Charles's voice rang out: "Gardner, take the height change information, control the minimum delay time when the probe is scanning, pay attention to the direction of the control angle, and the center of gravity is offset." In the first set of tests, we use the constant current mode, and the second group adopts the constant height mode. ”
"Understood."
"Johnny, you're in charge of controlling the operation of the ramp correction and reciprocating scanning."
"Okay."
"Phil, you're in charge of controlling the motors, 3D imaging, and data analysis."
"Okay."
"Jamie, are you ready?"
"Alright."
The scanning tunneling microscope looks like a sci-fi world, full of aesthetic postmodern artworks, plus other linkage equipment, to form a very dreamy set of equipment.
This set of equipment does not need to be controlled by human hands, everything can be programmed and operated by the computer itself.
The role that people can do is to change the program or adjust it to their own needs.
Zhou Zhen mainly focused his energy here, the purpose is to be able to rely on the experience of this laboratory after returning to Earth, and also to link various equipment with this machine.
Being able to control atoms, molecules, these genes, and go further in the microscopic world is really fun.
Zhou Zhen also understood at this time why those real scientists were not interested in anything else, including rights.
Zhou Zhen has already felt this kind of fun now, and it is particularly rewarding to separate a cell that is invisible to the naked eye into a nucleus, cell membrane, and organelles through the device.
It is also particularly interesting to study the invasion of cells by those viruses.
Although this kind of battle is the smallest battle, it is no different from the war of the macrocosm that looks at a single-DNA or single-RNA virus that has no home and no nucleus, instinctively invading cells in order to survive and trying to turn other cells into their own home.
But in the process, it is as if human beings become gods.
Zhou Zhen had this obvious feeling that he was manipulating other lives.
The start-up test is not a one-time test, but uses a variety of different means, different tests on the sample, catalysis, and the degree of reaction of the enzyme can roughly assess what type of enzyme it is.
This enzyme is classified according to the nature of the reaction, according to the chemical properties, and according to the form in which it exists.
Only by understanding the various functions of this enzyme can it be better applied.
According to the different ways of cross-testing, Zhou Zhen and his team need to conduct more than 20 primary reaction tests to determine an accurate direction.
Then, the enzyme has to be broken down, and after the protein and cofactor are stripped of the enzyme, the catalytic activity is lost.
Enzymes belong to biological macromolecules, with a molecular mass of at least 10,000 or more, and the largest can reach one million.
At this time, the fundamental catalytic activity of enzymes can be understood from the more microscopic structural molecules.
Doing research is never just about knowing what it is, you have to know why it is.
Of course, such a study is not completed in a while, and each result is calculated by computer before the next one can be carried out.
It was not until ten o'clock that Zhou Zhen and the others finished the first phase of the test.
The sample was re-catalyzed, stored, and placed in the sample tank.
At this time, there is no need for the tightest protection, they can take off their protective clothing and monitor the computer.
Everyone was hungry, gulping down food and chatting excitedly about the activity of this particular enzyme.
Zhou Zhen is okay, there is still a lot of knowledge that he has not understood, and others are even more excited about the appearance of this enzyme that they have never seen.
For them, discovering an unknown enzyme can be even more exciting than finding a girlfriend.
Everyone was chatting excitedly and didn't want to go to sleep at all.
However, all three of them are graduate students, mainly following Charles, and it doesn't matter if they don't go to class.
Zhou Zhen can't, at Harvard, the cost of skipping school is too high.
"Jamie, I'm afraid the results won't come out until tomorrow afternoon, you send Dinah to a hotel to rest first, and you can come after class tomorrow to find out the results."
"Okay."
If you think of this enzyme as a beauty, now they are tantamount to only taking off the coat of the beauty.
Thick shutters, they have to continue to undress it, and it will not be until tomorrow afternoon, when it can be really stripped naked.
Therefore, Zhou Zhen is not in a hurry.
Maybe she was too tired after a long journey, Dinah obviously squinted for a while, and the oil on her face came out.
Seeing Zhou Zhen agree, she picked up her small bag and said, "If you are troublesome, you can find a hotel nearby, just clean it." ”
Zhou Zhen smiled: "We are the largest hospital area in the northeast, and there are all kinds of hotels around. ”
"Don't pretend to understand, little virgin ......"
Gardner had just taken a sip of coffee, looked at the computer, and when he heard this sentence, he squirted out at once.
The point is that he didn't dare to spray on the computer, barely lowered his head, splashed some of it on the keyboard, most of it on his pants, and then coughed loudly.
Johnny laughed. "Dinah, how do you know he's a virgin?"
"I'm the FBI." Dinah was very arrogant, turned to Zhou Zhen and said, "Let's go." ”
Zhou Zhen smiled and said to them: "I'm going to get rid of my virgin status tonight." ”
Several people raised their fists. "Come on."
Dinah gave everyone a roll of her eyes and said goodbye to Charles, who waved his hand impatiently without even raising his head.
Walking out of the laboratory, Zhou Zhen deliberately fell behind, observing Dinah's size.
She is only in her twenties and is much stronger than when she is in her forties and fifties, and her appearance is broken.
In '97, she was also named one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.
Although her figure is not tall, only 1.6 meters, she has a very hot figure.
When she went out, she couldn't help but glare back. "Have you seen enough?"
"No, of course not." Zhou Zhen was not embarrassed at all. "What's your budget?"
"Under fifty dollars."
"There's a lot of choice, isn't the FBI very low-paying?"
"It depends on what type of work, I am a specially hired technical job. How do we get there? ”
It was raining outside, Zhou Zhen looked at it and remembered that there was an umbrella in his car. "You wait......"
Running to his car, Zhou Zhen found the umbrella, locked the car after opening it, and then returned to the gate. "Please ......"
Dinah grabbed his umbrella-holding arm and couldn't help but squeeze it. "I didn't think you had such strong muscles."
"Without a girlfriend, my energy can only be vented on fitness and studying."
She asked curiously, "Are you really only interested in women older than you?" ”
"Maybe, at least you're the one that impresses me the most."
"Ha, it's an honor...... she leaned closer to Zhou Zhen's body. Is the hotel close? ”
"Sheraton is nice, right next to Berklee College of Music, fifteen minutes walk."
"Then we'll walk over there."
"Okay."
A woman's willingness to walk with you under an umbrella on a rainy night represents a kind of recognition.
Of course, it is also possible that she is giving herself more consideration, or investigation time.
As long as a woman takes the bait, Zhou Zhen is never afraid of falling short, and his charm bonus, coupled with his profound knowledge, is enough to make most women intoxicated.
And to this woman, he is tender grass!
Along the way, the two of them were still bickering, but their bodies were getting tighter and tighter.
Zhou Zhen didn't take the initiative until he passed a pharmacy and said, "I just don't want to regret myself, so don't think I'm in love with you." ”
"Is it because I'm still a student? You don't want to make yourself feel guilty? ”
"I don't think you're at all like a nerd who doesn't please women."
"It's because I met you."
"Wait, I'll go in and buy something. What number do you use? ”
"I don't know, maybe you need to measure it yourself."
She looked around, pressed against Zhou Zhen, and tucked her hand into her belt along her strong lower abdomen. Then she pushed Zhou Zhen away, turned around and entered the pharmacy.
When they entered the Sheraton, the two of them were already like a couple.
And on the big bed of the hotel, the two people are also doing what couples do.
At first, she said, "I don't believe you're a virgin. ”
Zhou Zhen explained: "I just learned from videotapes. ”
"Good learning."
Later, she said in a hoarse voice, "I believe that you bastard is definitely a wolf who has never seen a woman......"
When Zhou Zhen was satisfied, she was already angry and unable to move anymore.
But the next day, she was as energetic as if she had taken a tonic......
So much so that the two of them fought fiercely early in the morning.
"I have a cell class in the morning, which is very important, and after class, I will pick you up. I'll take you to eat lobster at noon, and that's what Boston has to offer. ”
She touched Zhou Zhen's chest muscles contentedly. "Get the results in the afternoon, I can go back tomorrow."
"As long as you're here, I'll be with you."
After the two of them didn't talk about it, although this kind of thing is not as common as eating and drinking, they don't want to affect their lives when they see each other and communicate.
As for later, let's talk about it later.
Out of the hotel, Zhou Zhen's mood was very relaxed, he had been in this world for a few months, and he only relaxed once last night.
Recently, I have been depressed, but after this venting, it is much better.
Now that I think of the Resident Evil world mixed with other plots, I am not so worried, and there is a little bit of the feeling that he forced him to cross the hill with a strong breeze, and the boat was naturally straight to the bridge.
