Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lack of Knowledge

Walking out of Professor Li's office, Zhao Anran's brain was thinking rapidly, where should I start to learn about the latest and most authoritative scientific research trends, the school library or the Internet?

"Dr. Zhao! Zhao Anran! Liu Hanlin patted Zhao Anran on the right shoulder from behind, and he flashed to her left. Zhao Anran was still confused, so he reflexively looked to the right.

"Hahaha, you're still as stupid as ever." Liu Hanlin laughed, proud of the success of his prank.

Zhao Anran looked up at him and rolled his eyes, "Childish!" Can Mr. Liu pay attention to his image? ”

Liu Hanlin put away the expression of the hippie smile, "What?" Was he reprimanded by Professor Li for the first conversation? ”

"No, Professor Li just asked me to understand the research direction of our group, and then choose a research point that I am interested in and discuss it with him next time. But now I'm like a layman, I don't know where to start, and I'm thinking about whether to go to the library or not. Zhao Anran said with a sad face.

"It's not easy, I'll teach you. Instead of going to the library, check the literature on our favorite website first. Our school has purchased the right to use the database, and the literature can be downloaded for free on the campus network. "Liu Hanlin is simply a member of the first aid team, and he appeared at the right time.

According to Liu Hanlin's instructions, Zhao Anran successfully entered the databases of Elsevier and CNKI through the account of the school library, and after searching, she screened out the highly cited and newly published research papers, and downloaded them to her computer in turn.

Reading English literature in its entirety is too difficult for Zhao Anran at this stage, and she can only read Chinese literature first, and then read relevant English literature. Breaking the literature is also the first step in scientific research.

Zhao Anran, who read the literature for two days in a row, didn't rest on Sunday, and of course couldn't go home to see the children, so he could only watch Huansha through video chat every day. On Monday morning, Zhao Anran came to the laboratory and saw a burly foreigner with a beard sitting in the office, and when he saw her enter the door, he smiled and nodded at her politely, and Zhao Anran finally squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Good morning......" and then she ran out of words. "Sure enough, it's test-taking English, dumb English, alas! The moment of truth is completely useless! Zhao Anran was annoyed in his heart.

“Good morning, I’m Dr. Reda, I come from Egypt. Nice to meet you.” (Good morning, I'm Dr. Rida, and it's nice to meet you.) The foreigner took the initiative to greet Zhao Anran in a friendly manner.

“I’m Zhao Anran, nice to meet you, too.” (I'm Zhao Anran, and I'm glad to meet you.) The answer that Zhao Anran could come up with was only like this, "I am a new doctoral student, please take care of me in the future." How do you say this in English? Alas! The brain is short-circuited! Know words but don't know how to string them together. Zhao Anran was in inner torment again, so he had to smile awkwardly, then pointed to his seat and walked over slowly.

As soon as Yuqiu entered the office, Zhao Anran hurriedly grabbed her and asked her about Dr. Rida. "Dr. Lida came to our lab as a postdoc, and his co-supervisor is also Professor Li. He has been in the lab for a year, and he will listen to a little bit of simple Chinese. Yuqiu began her professional explanation, "Dr. Rida is studying solar greenhouses, senior sister, if you are interested, you can also go and have a look, at present, Dr. Rida is the only one in our laboratory who is researching that direction." ”。

"Solar greenhouses? Last time, Liu Hanlin really didn't introduce this research direction, which sounds quite interesting. But I had to make a mental sketch of how to express myself. Zhao Anran began to muttered in his heart again, "Alas! This terrible spoken English! ”
