Chapter 62

Yang Rui also had the experience of borrowing experimental instruments, but instead of lending them out of the laboratory, he used them in other people's laboratories.

Generally speaking, it's always possible to buy an instrument from a school teacher and borrow it occasionally. If it's purchased by the school and put in a teacher's laboratory, it's more comfortable to borrow.

But in any case, it's a bit like opening your mouth to ask for help by borrowing experimental instruments, and people in ivory towers are actually the least willing to ask for help.

When Yang Rui was a graduate student, he would be shut down from time to time. Sometimes people were preparing to use instruments, sometimes students with keys were in trouble, sometimes teachers with keys could not make animals at home, sometimes tutors with keys could not make animals in office, Sometimes the tutor with the key does not open the door in the laboratory

No matter what kind of shut door, when you eat it, you will always feel hot in your lips, stomach and sometimes chrysanthemum.

Yang Rui doesn't know if some people are used to shut the door, but in a few years, he has tasted many kinds of shut the door, but he is still not used to it.

Sometimes, when an experiment is at a critical juncture, it's exciting and nervous to take materials to other laboratories, and it's exciting and nervous to wait for people to use up the equipment and borrow it again. If you shut the door again, it's a shame.

But you can't help it. The school is not good enough, the college is not good enough, the tutor is not good enough, and you are not good enough.

Sometimes Yang Rui also thinks, "when I become a big cow, I will buy the instruments on the first floor. I will use them whenever I want, and I will use them whenever I want..."

Unfortunately, the laboratory equipment is more expensive than the house, and there are so many graduate students who want to be Daniel. After all, Yang Rui didn't realize that dream.

Instead, in the 1980s, Yang Rui saw the hope of building his own laboratory.

On the one hand, he has the need to build his own laboratory. On the other hand, ordinary instruments are relatively cheap. Of course, in terms of domestic economic conditions, the instrument is still not cheap, but it is affordable.

The most important thing is that the requirement to be a big bull in publishing articles has become lower. To have a name in China, you can write high-end papers without buying the most advanced instruments in the world. This opportunity was in the early 1980s.

In fact, few researchers continue to do research during the decade of catastrophe, and even fewer can keep up with the progress of foreign research. Everyone is catching up with and learning from the latest foreign research. In short, researchers all over China are copying foreign research.

If you know English, you can copy it at a high level. If you don't know English, you can copy it twice.

You can't do without copying. The level of scientific research in China in the 1960s was already weak, and then foreign countries took the lead for more than ten years. If you don't copy out the latest foreign research, doing research is repetitive and meaningless.

Of course, some people don't care and are willing to do repeated research, which is called "self-reliance to fill the gap in China". This kind of person who also has great achievements can be regarded as a special person in a special period.

In contrast, theoretical research is naturally happier than experimental research.

For example, if mathematicians want to know the latest progress of foreign countries, they just need to buy journals to read them. If they can read them well, even if they keep up with the research progress, they must repeat experiments if they can engage in experimental physics or biology. It's OK to do fewer experiments, but if they don't do any experiments, they can't just read journals.

For Yang Rui, who already has a source of income, it is not expensive to do experiments in line with the Chinese level, but not necessarily for ordinary researchers.

The middle-aged uncle looked at Yang Rui anxiously. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he said pitifully, "do you think this is OK? I'll move away on Saturday afternoon. On Monday night, before the morning, I promise to send it back to you."

Listen to what he said pitifully, Yang Rui is also a little soft hearted, way: "you introduce yourself first."

He didn't agree first. After all, it's inconvenient for him to lend out the experimental instruments. Besides, analytical scales are extremely easy to be damaged when they are moved around. That is to say, such a person with low EQ doesn't care about the demands of acquaintances.

The middle-aged uncle woke up and said, "look at me. I'm from 807 Institute. I'm engaged in organic chemistry. My surname is Wei zhenxue."

"What experiment are you going to do?"

Wei zhenxue hesitated and said, "solvent extraction of coal."

It seems that Yang Rui doesn't understand, and Wei zhenxue explains: "it's to study the extraction performance of coal with solvents, and to investigate what additives and auxiliary means can be used to change the extraction of coal. Generally, there are ultrasonic, electromagnetic radiation and chemical treatment..."

"Solubility of coal." Yang Rui summed it up in one sentence."Yes... That's it."

"I thought 807 Institute was engaged in chemistry, but it seems to be the Institute of coal science?" The average chemist doesn't touch coal.

"Nanhu Coal Research Institute." Wei zhenxue took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes and said, "you know my name, and you know my work unit. Now you can lend me the analytical balance?"

"You this person..." Yang Rui smiles to order him, then takes the smile to refuse a way: "can't!"

"Why not?"

"I know the name and work unit of many people, why lend you?" Yang Rui asked. In fact, he doesn't care much about coal chemistry. It's understandable that China wants to engage in coal energy. However, from the experience of 30 years later, coal really lacks the value of vigorous development. Especially after the haze in Beijing, coal has entered a long-term downturn again. It's hard to say when to restart.

Although it is not a waste of time to study coal chemistry in the 1980s, it is not worth investing heavily.

Wei zhenxue, who was not good at words, said: "you asked me several questions just to make sure you can lend them to me? I've told you all. Where are you dissatisfied? "

"Yes, there are some." Yang Rui motioned He Cheng to take the analytical balance away. At the same time, he stopped Wei zhenxue, who was running after the analytical balance. He said slowly, "the Institute of coal technology is a rich unit. Even if your analytical balance is broken, I don't believe you have only one analytical balance in your institute. Why do you want to borrow mine?"

Wei zhenxue's voice became smaller: "other analytical scales have been occupied."

"I see." In fact, he does not need to say that Yang Rui can guess some. Wei zhenxue's EQ is so low that it's not much different from those who only read Mao's selection all their lives. It's natural that he messed up the staff in the Research Institute.

In the impression of many people, the University seems to be a white ivory tower, the research institute is like a green haven, peaceful as the slow steps of a beautiful girl... Maybe for students and masters, the university can really be called an ivory tower, at least a white tooth, but for ordinary staff who are still chasing fame and wealth, the university is even more like the corpse of an elephant, If you don't fight for it, you can't eat and drink on it.

Wei zhenxue's analytical balance is broken. No one has the obligation to lend it to him. His research work is very heavy. Inspiration comes at any time. It's the most wonderful experience to use the laboratory at any time. It's not impossible to lend it to others. However, such a eccentric person as Wei zhenxue is not a good "roommate".

Yang Rui doesn't like Wei zhenxue very much either. He is a very difficult person to deal with because he writes articles in core journals and holds Einstein's Joe.

If you want to share the analytical balance with this middle-aged uncle for a long time, it will not be a good memory.

Yang Rui just softened down and hardened his heart, saying: "the analytical balance is not suitable for frequent handling. It's not a good idea to lend it to you, even if you are looking for the headmaster."

"How do you know what your headmaster thinks?" Wei zhenxue is also a muscle, simply keep up with them.

Cao Baoming rolled his arm and asked, "what should I do?"

"Let him follow. He'll be gone in a minute." Yang Rui and others got on the tricycle first, then took the shuttle bus back to Xi county, and from Xi county back to Xibao town.

So far away, I didn't expect that Wei zhenxue didn't leave.

To the school, Yang Rui also hard to catch up, let him into the laboratory.

The slightly dim tile roofed house was originally used as a warehouse. When Wei zhenxue saw it outside, he expressed his disdain and said, "it's a pity to give you such a good analytical balance."

"What does it mean to give it to us? We bought it." He Cheng is short, but his voice is high. The voice of refutation seems to lift the tiles down.

Wei zhenxue shrunk his neck, followed Yang Rui, walked into it quickly, and said: "it's the same... Ah..."

"The feeling inside and outside the room is different." Yang Rui stood in front of the experimental platform and said with a smile.

Wei zhenxue nodded blankly.

There are four incandescent lamps in the room, which make it bright.

The experimental platform is gray and white, and the surface is terrazzo. It looks smooth and shiny. There are also flumes of the same material and rare water pipes, which can't help showing a distinctive temperament.

The whole laboratory is arranged according to Yang Rui's requirements. With the analytical balance placed on the special instrument platform, the laboratory of Xibao middle school has become high-end.

Wei zhenxue was somewhat surprised and said sincerely, "it's very good."

"People depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles. The quality of the room is decorated. OK, if you want to find the headmaster, go to the dormitory area. We need to start preparing for the experiment." Yang Rui wants to send him out in a word.Wei zhenxue suddenly enlightened, said: "I help you prepare."

With that, he took the initiative to come to the instrument platform to help debug the analytical balance.

Yang Ruile needs help. It's very troublesome to clean up a laboratory. Especially at the beginning, the students can't use anything, so they have to do it by themselves.

Wei zhenxue can not only help work, but also teach other students how to do it, which immediately eases Yang Rui's pressure.

What's more, he held on surprisingly for two days.

"Is it true that no madman can survive?" Yang Rui expressed admiration for Wei zhenxue's perseverance, but he was still true to color and began his own experiment.

He will revise the determination method of coenzyme Q10, more accurately, the absorption coefficient of coenzyme Q10.

Until 30 years later, the content of coenzyme Q10 is often determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and the basis of this method is the absorption coefficient of coenzyme Q10.

In short, it's how much light coenzyme Q10 absorbs.

As we all know, in terms of color, black has the strongest light absorption, while white has the weakest. However, the degree of light absorption of a substance often needs to be measured through a series of experiments.

Generally speaking, if an authoritative organization or person has measured the absorbance, others will just use it. It's tiring to measure every time.

The absorption coefficient of coenzyme Q10 in the drug standards of various provinces and cities used in the 1980s was copied from foreign books in the 1950s. Yang Rui clearly knew that this part of the content was outdated.

When he was looking for information in later generations, when he came across the literature of the 1980s and saw the description of coenzyme Q10 content, he would consciously put a question mark. If he wanted to use the data, he had to do a new experiment to determine himself.

Therefore, Yang Rui clearly knows that the absorption coefficient of Q10 currently used in China is low.

The reason why we choose this experiment as a breakthrough is that the absorption coefficient is a certain value, which is the direct feedback of nature, and it will not change because of authority or bureaucracy.

Yang Rui measured it, it is correct, according to which to write a paper, which can not be refuted. For a high school student, this article is not too difficult, but also a little important, it is too suitable.

He Cheng and others are obedient to help, only Wei zhenxue, while teaching the students to use the instrument, while watching Yang Rui's skilled operation, quite a bit happy.
