Hearing Zhang Lisheng explain that she was a graduate student in the Department of Biology, the black girl raised her eyebrows, and after verifying the young man's statement through the local area network in the school, she looked at her colleague outside the mentally depressed spirit, tilted her head, blinked, and lowered her voice and said, "Oh, I like boys with high IQs the most."

In my opinion, great wisdom is much more attractive than big muscles, the future Dr. Zhang Lisheng, if you are my boyfriend tonight, I will help you get the "Illustrated Book of Biological Anatomy and Chemical Interactions";

If you're not, then I'll only tell you which bookshelf it's on, and you can get it yourself, the choice is yours, how do you decide?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Lisheng asked incomprehensibly.

"Forget it, baby, since you are the most innocent boy in Stanford, I will make an exception to serve you for 'free' once, and in a while, I will go get you the book. The girl was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man's real puzzled expression, suddenly covered her mouth and laughed in a low voice, walked quickly to the bookshelf in the hall, and soon returned to the front desk with a large book.

It only took more than ten seconds to come and go, but the black girl's face looked much worse.

After lending the book "Illustrated Book of Biological Anatomy and Chemical Action", which uses vivid realistic brushstrokes on a black hard plastic book cover to sketch a corpse lying on a rusty dissecting bed with half of its epidermis peeled, she handed it to Zhang Lisheng, and she couldn't help but say: "The cover of this book is really uncomfortable. ”

"Maybe. Zhang Lisheng took the book, looked at the cover that was exactly the same as the computer screen, and smiled. Turning around and walking out of the library, I breathed in the fresh night air and rode back outside the dormitory.

Walking into the dormitory with a book in his hand, with a big head like a square melon, the powerful janitor recognized him at a glance, and deliberately stopped and said, "Young man, are you Zhang Lisheng who lives in 'A011'?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"My name is Ham Walt, I'm the night caretaker of this residence hall, and I've just received a notice from the Student Management Office. Under California law. If it's not a holiday, you have to go back to the dormitory before 12 o'clock, and if you don't return by the time limit, you have to report to me.

It's okay to send a message or leave a message on Facebook, my phone number is..."Maybe at the same time as receiving a notification from the Student Office. Also got some admonitions. All the dormitory staff who usually speak in a rough voice. The attitude towards young people seems to be very kind.

Having never heard of going to college and reporting to the dormitory administrator, the Stanford first-year students who were in the front hall of the student apartment couldn't help but slow down when they heard this strange conversation. looked at Zhang Lisheng, who was standing face to face with the dormitory attendant, with a puzzled expression.

At this time, the young man could only show a wry smile and nodded, "I know Mr. Hamm. He walked briskly back to his dormitory.

In the next few days, Zhang Lisheng lay in bed, relying on the illustrated "Illustrated Guide to Biological Anatomy and Chemical Interactions" to pass the time, and an outrageous rumor gradually spread in the dormitory building where he lived, that is, there was a rather simple person living in this apartment, who was said to be directly placed under direct residential surveillance by a California court at the university.

The rumors stop at the wise, but the 'wisdom' here does not refer to intelligence, but to 'wisdom', and soon the rumors are becoming more and more intense among the mentally immature first-year students, and the protagonist of this new campus legend, after reading the "Illustrated Guide to Biological Anatomy and Chemical Effects", went to the tutor's laboratory without realizing it.

Zhang Lisheng, who has learned on the Internet that giant science laboratories can often accommodate hundreds of scientists, divided into dozens of research groups, and work together to solve a certain scientific problem, has long had a premonition that Stephen's laboratory is unlikely to be that big.

But when he had breakfast early in the morning, like a racing car in the warm sun, and a group of college students who were rushing to class on bicycles around the vast campus of Stanford, he finally found the laboratory building, climbed up to the third floor, and walked into the biological laboratory set up around the two 'color-changing mollusk beetles' he had contributed, he was still surprised that this laboratory was so small.

A room of no more than 300 square meters is divided into three transparent and opaque blocks by special glass at the four corners, and the public area in the middle is not only placed with a circle of sofas and coffee tables for researchers to rest when they are tired, but also a few large test instruments that are not known for use, which is all there is to the laboratory.

Early in the morning, Stephen was soaking coffee on the couch in the common area of the lab, fiddling with a tablet, and in the few glass rooms in the corner of the room, someone was already experimenting.

According to the standard experimental procedures, Zhang Lisheng, who had changed into soft slippers and a white coat, quietly walked behind the tutor, "Professor, good morning."

This is the lab you've built with a quarter of the budget of the Stanford biology department, and it doesn't look like what I imagined. ”

"You're here, Li Sheng. Stephen said without looking back, "How much do you think the Stanford biology department's experimental budget can have in a year, and this laboratory is not as simple as you think."

With just a few machines around me, it is enough to attract three young scientists who have obtained a 'Doctor of Science' degree to do postdoctoral research at the expense of temporary interests.

Don't you see, they are staying in the glass room with a group of graduate students who are also ambitious and talented, hoping to rely on the advanced experimental environment to research amazing results, and then become famous in one fell swoop..."

"Oh, Professor, you're snarky. Zhang Lisheng walked around to Stephen and sat down, "How is the construction of a laboratory in the otherworldly realm going?"

"They can't hear it in the glass room anyway.

That incident Margot said was a bit difficult, if you go to the 'Sea Shrimp No. 1 World Realm', you can do it immediately, but the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' is due to the lack of military strength, and the government cannot guarantee safety..."

"If you can't guarantee safety, take the risk, an unexplored island of dense primeval jungle, and a land that has been blown to charred ash and where a mature civilization once appeared, as long as you are not an idiot, any biologist knows where to build a laboratory. ”

"Knowing Li Sheng, in addition to the fact that you are a lucky man and a rich man, what I like most is your decisiveness and the spirit of daring to sacrifice for science," Stephen put down the computer in his hand, looked at Zhang Lisheng seriously, and said with a flash of anger on his face: "That's how I answered Margot."

Although the profession we do is not as sacred and 'clean' as it looks outside, if we want to stand at the top, in addition to luck, we must always dare to 'fight'. ”

"Oh, Professor, you're a biologist, not a bank robber. The young man said with a smile.

"After a long time, you will know that there is not much difference, one is to rob other people's wisdom, and the other is to rob other people's money," Stephen took a sip of coffee, stood up, and shouted, "Everyone stop the experiment and come out, and I will introduce you to a new work partner." ”

Hearing his shout, the people in the glass house soon walked out in confusion.

"This is Zhang Lisheng, my former collaborator, a future genius biologist. Stephen first pointed to Zhang Lisheng and said to the others that his introduction of young people as 'collaborators' rather than his own graduate students has undoubtedly greatly improved the status of young people in the laboratory.

Then Stephen pointed to a fat man in his thirties, with a burly figure and a fleshy face, who looked like a butcher more than a scientist;

A young white man in his twenties with a long face and mediocre facial features, and a young woman with square-framed glasses with thick lenses and a very serious expression said to Zhang Lisheng: "Burville, who graduated with a doctorate in biology last year, is now in charge of the research on the pigmentation of the shell of the soft beetle;

Pamir, a Ph.D. graduate of Burville, is responsible for the study of the external bone structure of the soft musculosis of the beetle;

Sha Lin, a recent Ph.D. graduate this year, is responsible for the study of the stress resistance of soft beetle viscera, and they are the leaders of three taxonomic topics in our lab. ”

As he introduced, Zhang Lisheng nodded and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Burwell... Dr. Shalene..."

And Burville, Pamir, and Sha Lin were also quite polite to Zhang Lisheng on the surface, especially Pamir held the young man's hand and shook it vigorously, "Mr. Zhang Lisheng, I have read the paper on soft beetles published by you and Professor Stephen in the journal Science.

It is the foundation of our lab's research work, and I am very happy to work with you. ”

After seeing Zhang Lisheng and the project leader of the laboratory get to know each other one by one, Stephen introduced the 'research assistants' of the laboratory, that is, those graduate students who 'do odd jobs', to the young people.

The supervisors of these graduate students are nominally in Stephen's lab, which is an additional way to apply for research funding, but they do not come to the lab often and are only busy with their own research.

Usually send their own students to deal with errands, so these research assistants are rotated every few days, but there are always a dozen people who come and go.

Zhang Lisheng politely greeted these graduate students who were a few years older than him, and officially integrated into the laboratory and became one of them.

"Li Sheng, my task in the laboratory is to summarize the research results of the three research groups of Burville, Pamir, and Shalin, and form the final research conclusion through overall experiments, and you will be my research assistant in the future.

Well, you are very hands-on, and if you usually want to do some small research that interests you, you can also experiment independently when I am not in the laboratory..."

"Professor, if you allow me to experiment independently, can I have another 'glass room'?"

Stephen was stunned for a moment and shrugged, "I'll go and tell Margott, he should agree, but your research assistant when you're doing the experiment will have to figure it out yourself." ”

"I'm light on my hands and feet, and I never use any helpers to do experiments. Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhang Lisheng smiled and said. (To be continued.) )
