With Professor man Hai and Professor Feng Junming joining the ion channel laboratory, there are nearly 20 students, as well as more and more instruments and reagents.

High end mass spectrometers and expensive bioelectronic sensors are placed in the east of the small courtyard. Foreign engineers who came to install them brought hundreds of pages of instructions, which not only attracted more than half of the biological colleges, but also attracted many professors from foreign languages colleges to do free translation for them.

Yang Rui sits in the canteen of ion channel laboratory, eating the roast duck made by chef Yu Xianyao, but he is a little careless.

Gu Qiang, who accompanies Xiaozao, can't help feeling a little strange. He often sees Yang Rui distracted when he reads his papers, but Yang Rui is always absorbed in the craftsmanship of chef Chiyu.

Gu Qiang first made a duck roll for himself, tasted it, chewed it hard twice, and swallowed it contentedly. He asked strangely: "director Yang, it's delicious. Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm eating." Yang Rui slowly spread out a flour cake, put a few more onion strips, dipped in flour sauce with chopsticks, and asked for two pieces of duck. While rolling, he explained to chef Yu: "I watched them make these instruments. I was very upset."

Chef Yu smiles and doesn't speak. He often cooks for the leaders. If the leaders eat well, most of them will say a few words. If the leaders don't eat well, he always holds the idea that silence is golden. He will never tangle with questions, let alone take such words.

Gu Qiang didn't understand, so he continued to ask foolishly, "the instrument you bought, the reagent you ordered, and the things you sent to me for inspection are also good. Isn't that a happy thing? Why are you bothered? "

When Gu Qiang came to Beijing for a period of time, he spoke with a bit of Beijing flavor, coupled with Putonghua, which is hard to pronounce. People who listen to him still have to think about it for a while.

Yang Rui seemed to have thought for a long time. When he finished eating a duck roll, he wiped his mouth and said, "why did you order the instrument until now?"

"Not now?"

Yang Rui looked at Gu Qiang like a fool and said, "scientific instruments are only ordered when they need to be used. Do you know how much more it costs?"

Gu Qiang shook his head blankly.

Yang Rui turned his lips, but instead of going on with the topic, he said, "I'm spending money on time to prevent leakage of information."

"Didn't you sign a confidentiality agreement with them?"

"If a confidentiality agreement works, what should the court do?" Yang Rui dismissively said: "the top laboratories in Europe and the United States, as well as first-class pharmaceutical companies, which can not afford such a sum of money."

Gu Qiang sat up straight and said, "what should I do then?"

In a moment, Gu Qiang shook his head again and said, "it's not right."

"Yes?"

"They just sell us the instruments and equipment. They just leak secrets. What secrets can they leak?"

"Many of the instruments and equipment we bought are needed only when the progress of the laboratory reaches a certain extent." Yang Rui explained slightly: "the mass spectrometer installed now is not a world leading project. Who will buy it?"

"There are more frontier projects in the world."

"One or two, the other party will not guess, together, it is difficult not to expose the experimental project, and even expose the research progress, I am not surprised." Yang Rui once again angrily spread out a pastry, added three pieces of duck meat with skin at one time, and then put the scallion directly into the pastry sauce, dipped in a lot of sweet pastry sauce, and filled it in. Then he said: "the top scientific research circle is too small. There are only a few companies or laboratories in the world that can provide high-end instruments and equipment. Today we bought Shimadzu's instruments, and it won't take two weeks, All the scientific research institutions in Japan have received the news. "

Gu Qiang didn't believe it. He said with a smile, "what you said is too much. Shimadzu doesn't just supply us with mass spectrometers. I heard them say that they sold six or seven mass spectrometers this year."

"Have you ever asked which laboratories they sold these six or seven advanced mass spectrometers to?"

Gu Qiang shook his head.

"There are only a few top laboratories in the biological field. They buy one or two good instruments. No one will think much about it. But guess if a new laboratory suddenly joins in, will you notice?"

Yang Rui is very aware of the lethality of such news. The credibility of information about the purchase of instruments is very high. No matter what age, false information is about cost. No one will spend millions of dollars to buy instruments they don't need to release false information, not to mention the installation of these instruments and equipment by professional companies.

Now the foreign engineers who come to the ion channel Laboratory of Peking University don't have to ask. Just look at the scale of the researchers in the ion channel experiment, the models of other instruments and even the degree of wear, and you can guess some of their project information.Gu Qiang was shaken by what Yang Rui said. He said in a hurry: "you know this, why don't you think of a way."

"What can I do?" Yang Rui bit off half of the duck roll and said, "if it's a domestic instrument and equipment company, it may be possible to conceal information. But you say, as our domestic instruments are now, can I buy them to do research on G-protein couple receptors?"

Gu Qiang himself is engaged in practical operation, shaking his head.

G The research on protein coupled receptor is difficult enough. Now, in order to complete the first step, that is, to obtain the transmembrane concept of G protein coupled receptor, several experimental groups are crazy. There is no chance to use domestic instruments with large errors and unstable quality.

"Right." Without Gu Qiang's reply, Yang Rui ate Duck Rolls, clapped his hands, and said: "in fact, the same problem is faced by foreign laboratories, including those in the United States, which are unlikely to engage in secret research now, and there is no need for basic scientific research to engage in secret research. Therefore, at this stage today, we have to fight against each other, Close combat. "

Gu Qiang was stunned: "we are not fighting each other now?"

"That's where it is." Yang Rui said with a smile: "in a few weeks, foreign laboratories will know that we are working on this project. After confirming the progress of our project, it will be the time to really fight for bayonets..."

Yang Rui's smile is just a happy smile in pain. G protein coupled receptor naturally has the property of scientific research competition. There is competition in every corner. As for the commanding height of three-dimensional structure, I don't know how many top laboratories are staring at it. Their previous efforts are all aimed at cutting off the king's flag, not to make a laboratory that has never heard of a name win.

"Well, are you ready to compete with the world's top laboratories for scientific research?" Yang Rui's voice lengthened, like a joke.

Gu Qiang's expression is serious. He stared at the table, looked at it again and again, and said, "you've eaten all the ducks..."

"And the duck rack." Yang Rui wiped his hands, looked up and said, "salt and pepper, let's talk when we're full."
