At 12 o'clock.

Yang Rui pinched his watch and announced, "today's work time is up. Everyone should go home and have a rest. It's a matter of relaxation and civility, isn't it?"

"Really rest?" Professor man Hai looks at Yang Rui in a strange tone.

Yang Rui frowned and said, "of course, it's a real rest. Didn't I say that yesterday? Everyone has a half day's rest. It's not fun to die of overwork. "

If there is any problem in the scientific community in the 1980s that is more serious than that of the missile makers, it is the problem of death through overwork. Many middle-aged scholars in academic institutions in Beijing, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, die suddenly every year. In fact, there is no concept of karoshi in this era. However, researchers in their prime are the ones who die, which can explain the problem.

Yang Rui didn't pay much attention to this problem when the ion channel laboratory just carried out the research of "G protein coupled receptor". The 110 hour working system is a bit inhumane to say, but in the 1980s, it was really nothing.

80 Primary school students in the '80s still have six days of classes a week. Middle schools that are slightly better, and even fifth and sixth graders in primary schools, are starting to make up lessons. There are not a few schools that start early self-study at 7 a.m. and late self-study at 10 p.m. University Research dogs are all learned along the way. They are more tired than ordinary.

However, with the increasing production of bovine rhodopsin, Yang Rui's sense of crisis decreased a lot, and the requirements for the continuity and safety of the project increased.

It's like when the number one car is far ahead of the number two car in the F1 race, you can reduce the speed a little, and even stop to refuel and change the tire.

From Yang Rui's point of view, when he used the "sleepwalking method", the difficulty of the first stage of the task has been reduced a lot.

"The conformation of G protein coupled receptor" is very difficult to do from the front to the back. To do it from the back to the front is nothing more than trial and error.

There are costs and requirements for trial and error, but the most important cost and requirement is actually an amazing number of easy-to-use "G protein coupled receptors". For ion channel laboratories, the "bovine rhodopsin" they use is both easy to use and sufficient.

Therefore, Yang Rui felt that it was time for the speed to slow down slightly, and he could even make a stop.

It's a pity that his idea at this time can't be accepted by everyone.

The sense of crisis of a group of researchers is much heavier than that of him. Even if Yang Rui seriously announced the rest, several people still lingered and refused to go.

"I've just a little bit to finish."

"I'll see if there's anything down."

"My wife is not at home in the afternoon. I'll go back alone."

Everyone has their own reasons, but they just don't want to move.

It's a group of research dogs. They usually do the most arduous work. Now they all stick out their tongues and feel embarrassed to go.

"I'm going to lock the door of the laboratory. You don't have to rest today. Let's all go back. Ah, let's all go back." Yang Rui felt like a perverted boss and drove people out of the laboratory one by one.

Several people stood at the door, still unwilling to go, man Hai said seriously: "director Yang, we follow you to study, just to make achievements, rest is really not important, now the research progress is good, I think we should seize the opportunity, not for a rest in the afternoon, the result is delayed."

His words are very popular with others, several people have nodded.

Indeed, today's new professors, no matter man Hai, Feng Junming or Tao Xuelin, are all aiming to succeed in G-protein-coupled receptor, and they have given up a lot. At least, they have put aside the temporary face problems.

However, to give up face temporarily is not to really care about face, but to make a temporary compromise in order to strive for greater face in the future.

In the final analysis, they are optimistic about the ion channel laboratory, and they will voluntarily join the ion channel laboratory only if they can achieve certain success in G protein coupled receptor. For this goal, they can give up temporary face, of course, they can also give up temporary rest.

In the 1980s, it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that only when one has to endure hardships can one become a superior person.

But Yang Rui scratched his head and didn't know what to say. To tell you the truth, he can't say whether the compulsory rest for half a day can have any effect, let alone the scientific basis. But he knows a little more clearly that if he continues to do it so quickly, it will be OK today and tomorrow, this month and next month, but it will be OK after all.Thinking of this, Yang Rui said: "I think that you think the results, and I think the results, may be a little deviation."

"What do you say?" A group of researchers are determined to debate with Yang Rui.

"You're probably thinking that if you make more efforts to make the conformation of the transmembrane region of GPCR, it's a success, isn't it?" Yang Rui asked.

Man Hai was pushed by someone next to him and stood up for no reason. He couldn't figure out Yang Rui's idea, so he had no choice but to say: "director Yang, I have this idea. Of course, if you want to continue, I'm in favor of it too..."

The director of the laboratory is the person in charge of the laboratory and the biggest boss of the laboratory, We all understand that we should not offend others at leisure. Even though man Hai is a professor at Peking University, he still has a tail between his legs after entering the ion channel laboratory.

After all, Yang Rui's reputation has accumulated to today's level, and he has been firmly seated under the buttocks, which is difficult to challenge.

Yang Rui is also used to speaking from top to bottom. Looking at dozens of people around him, he coughed softly and said, "when I started to make GPCR, I said that our goal is to make the three-dimensional structure of GPCR... Today, I solemnly emphasize our goal, It's the three-dimensional structure of G protein coupled receptors. Conformation is just the first step

The heavy breathing sound and the voice suppressed in the voice, a good interpretation of the mood of people at the moment.

"Of course, I know that it's very difficult to work out the three-dimensional structure of GPCR. There is a great possibility that it can't be done. But the time to judge whether it can be done or not is not now. It should be one or two years later, or even three or four years later, right?" Yang Rui is not prepared to spend several years on the research of GPCR, but it is the normal situation in the scientific research field to spend several years.

It is even a very normal behavior to spend decades in basic scientific research.

When Yang Rui said this, he paused again and said, "in fact, it's hard to do the three-dimensional structure of GPCR. Is it easy to do the transmembrane conformation? Can anyone guarantee a transmembrane conformation in a few months, half a year, or a year? "

They all bowed their heads in silence.

Who dares to make this guarantee? If anyone can guarantee half a year's worth of achievements, there must be a problem in intelligence - too strong possibility exists, more likely too stupid.

"So, let's have a rest today, and it will be the same in the future, at least two or three days a month. How about ensuring a sustainable state of research? " Yang Rui coaxed a child to ask.

Several researchers looked at each other and finally nodded.

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that political work is really difficult.

Turning to lock the door, man Hai was pushed out again and asked, "director Yang, didn't you say a few days ago that the conformation is about to be made? He also said that there was a perfect plan... "

"I have a relatively perfect theory, but it needs your experimental support." Yang Rui chuckled twice and threw everyone out like a chicken. Then he said, "go back to take a bath or something, and everyone will stink. En, if you can come to the laboratory later tomorrow, it's all loose. The experiment can't be finished..."

Yang Rui took out his posture as a tutor and sent the researchers out one by one.

At the moment of leaving the gate, Yang Rui relaxed and looked up at the sky, feeling that the sky was bluer.

"Back to bed." Yang Rui patted Gu Qiang on the shoulder, sending out the breath of a big dream.
