Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Engineer#
Qi Min took Bai Rong to the "Nimbus" computing center, at this time the people from the Yunnan cynomolgus monkey experiment company had arrived, and researcher Zhou Xiaoshan was leading them to see the laboratory vacated for the cynomolgus monkey experiment.
Seeing Qi Min coming up from the staircase, Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan stopped and introduced to the two people from the company: "This is Mr. Qi Min, the person in charge of the project. ”
Although they were talking and laughing on the phone, Qi Min couldn't help but feel a little cramped when they actually met, and hurriedly took two steps up to shake hands with these two visitors.
She noticed that the younger man had a visitor badge around his neck that read "Sales Manager: Liu Zhengtian", and he was supposed to be the person who contacted her by phone. Another older man, who reads "Engineer: Yu Qinglong" on his visitor card, is probably an expert in charge of laboratory equipment.
Standing behind Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan was a tall young man, who seemed to be most likely a doctoral student in her laboratory or other staff members. But Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan didn't introduce him, so Qi Min didn't know who this was.
If you don't know, you don't know, the most important thing is to serve the people in the company, especially the engineers.
Qi Min followed Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan and took the two sales managers and engineers to visit the laboratory.
When he arrived at the laboratory vacated by the "Nimbus" center, Liu Zhengtian, the sales manager, naturally didn't say anything, while the engineer Yu Qinglong looked around, and then said, "It's okay to look at." What are you going to do with this...... Brain-computer connection? ”
Qi Min was just about to speak, but Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan said first: "The process of this experiment should have been sent to you, right?" ”
"I've seen the process, but based on the textual materials, I still don't know how your experiment works." The engineer said.
"Do you want to see how the experiment works?" Qi Min asked.
"Not really." The engineer said briskly, "Because I don't know exactly how you're going to do the surgery in this experiment, I can't arrange the placement of these devices." Let's just talk about it. ”
Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan said to the tall young man next to her, "Shujiang, go and call Ke Li over." ”
Qi Min originally thought that she could just talk about it, but since Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan wanted to call Ke Li, it would be better to let Ke Li, the person who really did the operation, come.
The laboratories in the center of "Nimbus" are all doing dry experiments, and the experiments are easy to stop, so Ke Li came over quickly. Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan briefly explained the situation to him, and he explained to the engineer in detail the operation of connecting the callosum interface to the rat's brain, interspersed with various discussions.
Eventually, the engineer said, "Then you can't do this lab." This monkey has to be connected to a separate operating room, and then led to another room for experiments, otherwise you will not be able to distinguish between sterile and non-sterile areas. ”
"Right...... It should be like this......" Qi Min looked at Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan with some hesitation.
Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan said: "Behavioral experiments have relatively low requirements for decoration and can be done on our underground public platform. Let's see if this lab can be converted into an operating room. ”
"That's fine." The engineer quickly said, "I'll have someone bring our equipment here...... When will your equipment arrive? ”
Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan looked at the side, and the tall young man next to her said, "Oh, most of them have arrived, that is, some of the imported consumables are still in customs, and they will be ...... next week Four should be able to arrive. ”
The engineer nodded: "When our company's technicians come, we can move the equipment to the laboratory." He looked at Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan, and then at the young sales manager who was with him, "Now or ...... first." Such? ”
Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan said calmly: "Well, let's get here here today." It's almost time to eat, and there are a few good restaurants around our center, and we have already booked a place. ”
——
Qi Min took Bai Rong and a small group of people with Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan to a Yunnan restaurant near the "Nimbus" computing center. Yunnan cuisine is not very popular in Beijing, presumably to cater to the taste of engineers.
But then at the dinner table, Qi Min learned that Engineer Yu Qinglong was not from Yunnan but from Shanxi, and he only jumped there to be an expert in instruments and equipment because he had worked in the Chinese Academy of Sciences system and because the research group in Yunnan had opened a company.
Of course, no matter where you are, you can also eat Yunnan food. It's just that because there are "outsiders" at the dinner table, Qi Min also looks a little cramped when eating, which makes Bai Rong, who is her follower, even more frightened.
As a male student at the undergraduate level, Bai Rong originally had a lot of food, but seeing that his boss was "meticulously crafted" there, he didn't dare to let go of the dishes, and he ate a spoonful of pineapple rice for almost 20 minutes.
At the dinner table, Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan was basically the only one chatting with the engineers about the experiment, and even the younger sales manager did not talk. The tall young man brought by Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan turned out to be the administrator of her laboratory, and because the "seniority" was there, he was just eating silently at this time. Qi Min was not used to this kind of occasion, and only when Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan called her, she would respond to two sentences.
Halfway through the meal, Qi Min used the excuse of going to the bathroom and sneaked out for a while.
Hiding in the bathroom, she turned on her phone and found that Ke Li asked on WeChat: "The one who came to see the laboratory was the one you invited to be cynomolgus monkeys?" ”
Qi Min pressed: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"The experiment hasn't been done yet, this shelf is quite big." Ke Li replied.
Qi Min called him on WeChat, and Ke Li picked it up and asked, "Is there anything you can help with?" ”
"I didn't ...... I just thought," Qi Min said hesitantly, "The cynomolgus monkey experiment may still need you to watch a little." ”
"What, you think the company is unreliable?" Ke Li asked.
"No...... They are quite professional, but they should have their own experimental methods, and I am afraid that the company's technicians will change the process by themselves. Qi Min explained, "So I may have to ask you to explain that there are some things that can't be changed." ”
"That's fine." Ke Li immediately agreed, and joked again, "You have made this project, don't you have to add my name?" Then I'm going to have to care, don't I? ”
Qi Min really feels that Ke Li has helped a lot in this topic, although she must ensure that she is the first in the joint work (and also the last corresponding author), but maybe she can also give Ke Li a second joint work. However, these eight characters have not been touched yet, and Qi Min will not tell Ke Li on the spot, so as not to be embarrassed if he can't cash it out.
She just said, "That's for sure." He added, "By the way, we have a new undergraduate student in our lab, and I have completed my senior year, so I may go to the 'Nimbus' center a few times......
"Do you want to help with the junior brother?" Ke Li took the initiative to say, "That's no problem. ”
"Thank you so much!" Qi Min immediately thanked him.
"It's okay, you've invited me to dinner after all." Ke Li said with a smile.
