Chapter 539

Associate Professor Xu Zhengping is still doing experiments happily in Tang's centralized laboratory, and he Quangui and others continue to work for him.

Anyway, the project he is working on is still under the name of the Tang central laboratory, with the funding of the Tang central laboratory and the scientific research of the Tang central laboratory. In this case, Xu Zhengping is not in a hurry to move out.

He Quangui was a little strange. He did a set of data free, took two mouthfuls of tea and said, "Professor Xu, is the amino acid analyzer in Yang Rui's lab bad? I see a lot of people running there every day. Why do you stay here? I don't want to leave us

Xu Zhengping glanced at him and said: "why, you haven't graduated yet, so I'm bored?"

"Why, even after graduation, I don't dare to annoy you. At that time, I'll live in the dormitory of the Institute of biological products. If you want to come, say hello in advance, and I'll rush out to buy squid and sea cucumber to fire you."

"I think you want to fire me."

"How can I do that? Just do these projects, and I will be properly evaluated next year. If you come back later, don't forget me." He Quangui's personality was originally outgoing, and now he is graduating, and he is more free and easy.

Of course, he found the job he wanted, so he was relaxed. In contrast, the same face of graduation Zhao Pingchuan is more silent. As the most gifted scientific researcher in the laboratory, Zhao Pingchuan has undertaken most of the calculation work with remarkable achievements, and has signed his name on the papers for many times. However, with the current distribution system of domestic universities, Zhao Pingchuan is difficult to find the job he wants to do pure mathematics research. He may not be able to compete with the students of mathematics department to do biological research, He doesn't like ordinary experimental work

In addition to processing the experimental data, Zhao Pingchuan seems to fall in the shadow. It's easier to leave him in the corner when we chat freely.

He Quangui once again talked about the amino acid analyzer in Yang Rui's laboratory, and his admiration was beyond expression.

Associate Professor Xu Zhengping's expression is always flat.

In his eyes, the amino acid analyzer of Yang Rui's laboratory is more like a totem, proving the existence of this independent laboratory. Of course, it also attracts the attention of many researchers. The three or four days a week of communication makes Yang Rui's laboratory full of popularity.

A few days ago, Associate Professor Xu Zhengping would even be very anxious, because he did not think that such a "characteristic" laboratory could make any achievements.

However, he is not worried at all now.

The funds of more than 300000 yuan already in the account are Xu Zhengping's greatest strength.

The money, if used to assemble an ordinary laboratory, would be more than enough. Xu Zhengping is also extremely relieved.

After finishing a short and smooth project again, Professor Xu leisurely went to the canteen for dinner, and walked to the "ion channel laboratory" like a walk.

"Let go after leveling..." there was a lot of noise in the laboratory, but it was different from the previous two days.

Professor Xu's step is a little faster.

Turning around, you can see that there are more than a dozen people busy in the open laboratory hall. Similar to the installation of GE's amino acid analyzer last time, one third of them are white, and the rest can't tell whether they are Singaporeans, Hong Kong people or Indians. In short, they are all busy with sweat on their heads.

Professor Xu didn't mean to take the first step toward anthropology either. After staring at the instrument being installed for a while, he found Yang Rui, who was a conscientious supervisor, and asked, "is this a scanning electron microscope?"

"Good eye." Yang Rui raised his finger and said with a smile: "raster scanning has less damage and pollution to biological samples. I especially want the electron probe with small beam spot size and small energy, which can minimize the impact of biological samples. In this respect, our scanning electron microscope is also the first one in China to make materials, The physical ones are not the same

"It's expensive, too." Professor Xu has a bad feeling.

Yang Rui light smile: "accounting into RMB, less than 700000."

"Hiss..." Professor Xu cultivated all day long leisurely, No: "where do we get 700000? Isn't that 300000? "

"Oh, there are several units that have just received the funds." Yang Rui's eyes are fixed on the instrument.

Professor Xu looked at him and didn't know what to say.

If it's not good, it's not easy to get these units to enter the accounts so quickly. Many nominal donations and subsidies are often left behind in silence. It's only a few days that people have to send money to them, but this skill is far beyond most of the laboratory directors in the school.

But to say good, Professor Xu's heart is strange.He looked around, looking at the empty laboratory, always feel uncomfortable.

Such a laboratory does not even have the basic functions. Of course, communication experiment is a feasible measure, but it is inconvenient. From the perspective of efficiency, it seems that money should also be used in the right way.

There are so many laboratories all over the country, which are upgraded little by little. It's very special to buy an instrument with all the money.

Xu Zhengping originally expected that the funding of several hundred thousand yuan could improve the embarrassment of the laboratory. Unexpectedly, Yang Rui bought a scanning electron microscope with 700000 yuan.

Scanning electron microscope is of course good. Just playing with it, you can write at least a few papers a year

But what this lab needs most is not a scanning electron microscope.

"The school has to check all levels of laboratories every year. I'm afraid our laboratory is so special that we can't check it." Professor Xu remonstrated from another angle, which can be regarded as painstaking.

But Yang Rui didn't hear it. He waved his hand and said, "let's wait for the inspection. At this stage, we should first lay a good foundation for the laboratory."

Professor Xu almost rolled his eyes: what's the foundation of a laboratory with only two instruments? A chair with two legs will fall.

Yang Rui is still smiling to see the engineers do the installation. The scanning electron microscope mainly includes vacuum system, electron beam system and imaging system. Each part is not particularly complex or even simple. Therefore, several research institutions in China launched the scanning electron microscope during the period of ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^.

However, the structure of SEM is not complicated, but the core is in precision. In addition, the indicators of motor and other equipment are far beyond the third world standard. Therefore, it is not surprising that the domestic SEM industry is dead.

By the 1980s, in fact, there were not a few Chinese enterprises producing scanning electron microscopes. When they basically developed a product, they would win a prize. However, in terms of sales volume, the best one sold only 400 sets.

With Yang Rui's noble and cool attitude towards his laboratory, he naturally disdains to use such products.

Science is a very realistic and merciless thing. If you fool it with something that fooles people, it will also learn to fool people.

Domestic high-end instruments may also work, but the standard of "working" is not high-end at all.

"Let's... Not buy any more equipment?" Professor Xu Zhengping asked Yang Rui.

Yang Rui moved away a little imperceptibly and said, "I want to buy it too. I have no money."

Xu Zhengping laughs twice. Can he have money? 700000 yuan is more expensive than a laboratory.

After thinking about this, and looking at this scanning electron microscope, Xu Zhengping thought to himself: otherwise, we'll do some special experiments first?

"By the way, if Professor Xu is free today, please interview some people with me." Yang Rui squatted on the side, speaking in a tone that seemed to pull home.

Xu Zhengping asked in surprise: "who are you interviewing? What are you doing? "

"You see, now we have scanning electron microscope and this amino acid analyzer. Do we have some special projects?" It seems that Yang Rui and Xu Zhengping thought of each other. In fact, when he bought the instrument, he thought clearly. What can we do if we don't do special experiments with the only or the first instrument in the country?

Xu Zhengping's mind was confused, and he did not answer for a moment.

Yang Rui said to himself: "as far as the installed amino acid analyzer is concerned, if it is fully prepared, it can do experiments several times a day and analyze more than 20 kinds of amino acids at a time. If we buy a kilogram of kelp from Bohai Bay to test it, we can write a paper. This advantage is unnecessary and too wasteful, don't you think?"

Analysis of amino acids in Laminaria japonica from Bohai Bay Xu Zhengping smiles.

"The analysis of amino acid types and contents of Laminaria japonica in Bohai Bay, this topic can be published in a better journal." Yang Rui moved his squatting feet and said, "another change, analysis of amino acid types and contents of Laminaria japonica in Bohai Bay and comparison with laminaria japonica in Yellow Sea". This topic should be published in major domestic journals. "

Unable to laugh or cry, Xu Zhengping asked, "what should I do if I want to publish it internationally?"

"For SCI level general journals, just add a little international perspective. For example," analysis of amino acid types and contents of Laminaria japonica in China's Bohai Bay, and comparison with Canadian Laminaria japonica ", en, this is simple. Canada, the United States and the like have analyzed their own Laminaria in nine cases out of ten. Let's take the data directly and make horizontal comparison."

Xu Zhengping said with a smile: "what about the better ones to be published?"

"After horizontal comparison, there will be a better conclusion. This title is not easy to start with." Yang Rui seems to think.Xu Zhengping stopped laughing and said, "it seems that you can really do this topic."

"Of course, I can do it. If I change it to sea bass, I can write again. If I insist on writing for ten years, I will be an international seafood expert." Yang Rui laughs.

Xu Zhengping did not smile, pondering: "if I can become an international seafood expert, I would like to."

Yang Rui heard it and said, "you can do it if you want. The international market is so big that two seafood experts can accommodate you. Moreover, international seafood experts don't have to use SEM several times. We have to find someone to interview."

"Who are all the interviewers?"

"The first round of interview, or priority to find our school, a few teachers, and graduate students come to contact."

"And the graduate students?" Graduate students are basically research dogs, and they have no right to research freely.

Yang Rui nodded and said: "it's estimated that it was sent by the tutor. We don't care about this. My requirements are simple. Hang my laboratory name, hang my corresponding author, hang the experiment I participated in as the first author. As long as a normal person can use it, we'll recruit him first."

"You don't have a high or low demand." Xu Zhengping noncommittal smile, and asked: "listen to you say the first round is our school, then there are other schools?"

"The country's most advanced amino acid analyzer, this reputation, dare not say resounding throughout the country, Beijing's biological circle should be spread all over the city." Yang Rui, however, knew the temptation of a high-end instrument. He said with a smile: "it's up to the students from other universities to see who they are. I reported to Professor Cai. He meant that talents are the most valuable property of colleges and universities. Naturally, more is better."

Xu Zhengping swallowed his saliva and asked, "does Professor Cai want to dig a corner?"

The exchange of talents in Colleges and universities, even in the most imprisoned era, is also very lively. In the most tense period, some colleges and universities often make such measures as not letting go the archives in order to retain people, while the colleges and universities that pull people even do not hesitate to rebuild the archives for the visitors.

In this era of scarcity of undergraduates, experienced undergraduates, even experts and scholars with better conditions, are more popular than fat.

Of course, digging people in such an environment is also very easy to offend people.

Yang Rui doesn't care about this. He doesn't point to other colleges and universities to eat. He says casually: "I didn't take the initiative to dig people, and Professor Cai won't go. We were hit by the corner and reacted passively."
