Chapter 424

"Cheer up. Dinner is on me." Richard, holding the interpreter, patrols his lab.

"Yes." The dogs answered with a touch of sadness.

It's a good thing to be invited to dinner, but Richard's invitation to dinner means that overtime will be very long.

The work in the laboratory consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, because we have to concentrate all the time and get tired quickly. In the ordinary laboratory, it is closed at 9 p.m., because most people leave after work.

Richard's lab doesn't.

Richard was in such a hurry.

In order to be able to carry on the second stage experiment related to potassium ion channel, Richard sold his old face completely.

After the failure in the first stage of scientific research competition with Yang Rui, first of all, there was no good scientific research funding agreed by Peking University. After several struggles, Richard only got 30% of the previous one. The advantage was that he got it ahead of time and didn't need to get it according to the progress of scientific research. With the money, Richard started the project, and then there was the change all over the world.

Berkeley University of California is one of the top 20 universities in the world. In the world, especially in the developed countries of Europe and America, although it is weaker than the top universities like Harvard University and Cambridge University, it is still stronger than those of Tokyo University, Finally, I got the full amount of sponsorship before I sold out my old face.

This time, if he can't win the race, Richard won't be able to slow down for ten years.

In addition to the plight of research funding, Richard's reputation is at stake.

As a famous university professor, Richard's original research environment is very good. California Berkeley is certainly a world-class university, and Richard is not a soy sauce maker. His reputation ensures his status in the University of California Berkeley. In extreme cases, the University of California Berkeley has to worry about Richard's job hopping.

After all, such well-known professors are all outstanding in their respective fields. It takes a lot of time to fill the vacancy if one is lost.

However, scientific research competition is the easiest way to gain fame and reduce it. If he competes with the laboratories of the same famous university, Richard will lose. However, now that he has lost to the laboratories in China, he is much criticized.

To some extent, Richard's value is in a state of decline. If you lose to Yang Rui once, he will become a famous failed professor.

If it's possible to come back, Richard won't compete with Yang Rui any more. It's not cost-effective. Win normal, lose bad luck. But before that, Richard never paid attention to Yang Rui.

"The experiment is ready." At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu anqing made a report. He is now the best of the experimental dogs, which is highly valued by Richard. However, if possible, Xu anqing would rather not be valued.

Richard answered, wiped his face, stood in front of the test bench, changed his fierce eyes, and began to check the preparation before the experiment.

In order to race against the clock, Richard has broken the original experimental cycle, doing a wave of experiments, let the experimental dogs prepare for the next wave of experiments, and he himself is able to rest on the rest, rest on the boil.

Xu anqing tidied the table a little, and Richard's doctoral students stood on both sides of the laboratory, and began to cooperate with Richard in the main experiment. In fact, Xu Anqing's patience was almost worn away.

"Try again, our experiment is progressing smoothly. According to the present progress, we are likely to make great progress in a month." Richard cheered up the members of the lab again.

Xu anqing gave a feeble "Oh", and other experimental dogs were in the same state.

They work longer hours and are more tired.

Richard, it's not going to work.

After thinking about it, Richard improvised: "I know that you are very, very tired now, but I hope you know that your opponent must be very tired, too. What's more, what we are doing now is a world-class project. Teams all over the world are able to do what we are doing now, almost none of them. And such opportunities are rare. You should be proud of today's experience, gentlemen. "

When he said that, Xu Anqing and others really straightened their chests. Nowadays, Chinese people still believe in world-class things.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, added two digressions, and turned to start again.

It's not easy to be the boss of the laboratory. On the one hand, we need to constantly change money and control expenditure. On the other hand, we need to strive to promote the progress of scientific research. Finally, we need to solve personnel disputes and adjust the mood of members.Richard is more difficult in China, and he himself is forced to do what he is today. He has no choice but to maintain it.

Press the power switch on the right side of the experimental table, at this time, a Chinglish floated over: "our main opponent is Yang Rui."

Richard turned quickly, but saw it was Zhu Jiahao, the assistant of the experiment.

"Our main opponent is Tang central laboratory." Richard corrected it seriously.

In the past, Richard said that, and other people would not refute it. But now, due to the fatigue accumulated over the past few days, Xu anqing said: "Yang Rui's project is Yang Rui's project. He is wearing the brand of Tang centralized laboratory. Others don't know. Don't we know?"

Richard's face turned black. Losing to a third world laboratory is a shame. Losing to a student from a third world country is a shame. Therefore, he has always been reluctant to mention Yang Rui.

When Xu anqing mentioned it, Richard couldn't get angry, so he had to hide the fire in his heart and said, "no matter who is wearing whose brand, our goal is to make our own things and finish them as soon as possible. The world won't care about the losers."

Xu anqing had a smile in his heart and brought it out on his face: "do your own things?"

Richard's scientific research clues are all provided by Yang Rui. It's ironic to say that he is doing his own things.

Professor Richard blushed, pretended not to recognize it, and bowed his head to work.

I don't know how long after that, the telephone rang.

"What's the matter?" Connors, Richard's doctoral student, picked up the phone in a very polite tone, and he was bored enough.

"I'm camas. I just got the topic of my speech from the International Conference on Medical Bioengineering. I have a paper on mutation gene analysis of potassium channels. I'll let you know in advance. Tell Richard he owes me one. "

"Who is the author?"

"Yang Rui, second author Huang Mao, third author Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei zhenxue, Tang central laboratory, Peking University, China." The phone finished and hung up.

Connors was stunned until the phone was buzzing, and then hung back to his position.

"What's the matter? Is there any reagent that can't be delivered? " Richard bowed his head to do the experiment and asked.

Connors, with a dry throat, took a sip of water and said, "it's professor camas on the phone."

"Camas of Los Angeles?"

"Yes."

"He's coming to China for a meeting, isn't he?" Richard thought he was looking for a receptionist.

"No Connors shook his head slightly and said, "Professor, come here first."

Richard frowned and looked up: "just a moment."

"All right."

As if nothing had happened, Richard did another half-hour's experiment, then wiped his hands and went to the corner of the laboratory and asked, "what's the matter?"

Connors bowed his head, said the phone call he had just received, and said, "maybe the news is not sure."

"No mistake, camas is a member of the organizing committee." This is the advantage of researchers from European and American countries. Interpersonal relationship will play a role in many times. If the progress of the two experiments is similar, Richard may be able to speed up the progress.

"Did he talk about the progress?" Richard asked again.

"Nothing else, just hang up."

"It's very troublesome to divulge information. Don't make it public." Richard thought about it and said, "let's sort out our experiments and go to the meeting as well."

"Is the current progress OK?"

"Yang Rui's progress can't be very fast. In just a few months, he has induced gene mutation at most, and then he has made clear the nature." Richard was a little guilty, but he still insisted that it was impossible for him to admit defeat directly. In this experiment, he had too much money and reputation.
