"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is academician Xue Jiankang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences... Academician Wu Hongbo..."

After settling down properly, academician Zhu took members of the Swedish academic delegation on a visit.

In fact, this is not very standard. The normal process is that when a foreign delegation is received, the first thing to do is to hold a meeting. The big leaders, middle-level leaders and small leaders welcome them. Then, the cadres at all levels explain the situation of China to them. If it is the academic community, it will explain the situation of the academic community and talk about some common understandings and views, Put forward our shortcomings, and make some assumptions and prospects for the future.

After the meeting, of course, it is a very important meal process. Governments at all levels come forward to entertain the delegation, which shows the importance of our side, let them understand the catering culture of China, and deepen their common understanding in the conversation.

After dinner, naturally, it's the meeting process again. After all, some leaders are not good to appear together, and some leaders haven't appeared in time.

After the meeting, naturally, it's a more important meal process - governments and leaders at all levels are plural words, that's true leaders at all levels

Therefore, the normal meeting procedure of a delegation should be at least one week in the circle of meeting and eating. Sometimes, when there are few guests or high specifications, This cycle can be increased to half a month or even a month.

What kind of concept is this? If a delegation comes to China, if they are not on guard, they may think that they have entered a new time and space, which is cyclical. Every morning when they open their eyes, they will cycle what they did the day before

This kind of work style gradually became less and less after the mid-1990s, The reason is that leaders at all levels have been eating and vomiting, and they are getting fat gradually. They are more likely to get rich and noble diseases, so they can't eat like this day after day.

However, in 1986, the weight of the leaders generally fluctuated within the standard range, and there was still a strong demand for good food and drink. The ordinary delegation came and could not pass the test without helping them occupy a place.

Academician Zhu is purely to save time, coupled with a deep background, in order to skip this stage.

This is just like the TV station skipping the opening advertisement. It's too much for the officialdom. It can't be done under normal circumstances.

Fortunately, academician Zhu, supported by Qiao ban, easily blocked it.

Members of the Swedish delegation did not know that they had just escaped from alcoholic liver disease, diabetes and gout. When they held Academician Wu Hongbo's hand, they were still smiling with a look at it.

"Mr. Lancelot."

"Mr. Marjorie."

Wu Hongbo shook hands with him one by one, and then introduced himself.

Although he is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, most of the guests are academicians of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, or tenured professors like Stockholm University. Wu Hongbo really does not have much psychological advantage.

Academician Zhu Zhongzhong said: "Academician Wu Hongbo is one of the best biological experts in China. You can see the pictures and pictures on the wall. They are all the achievements of researcher Wu Hongbo."

He pointed to the wall ready to introduce the text, Chinese and English words with pictures, all of a sudden to attract the Swedes in the past.

"Researcher Wu Hongbo has made some achievements in genetics."

"It seems that I have contacts with Mr. Wu Hongbo. I quoted you in one of my articles."

Someone here looks at Wu Hongbo's name and finally has an impression.

Wu Hongbo's face suddenly blossomed with joy, saying: "it's really fate to be able to seal each other."

Translation hate gnashing teeth, just to translate this sentence out.

Wu Hongbo can speak English, but on today's occasion, he chose to speak Chinese.

"Let's go inside and see." Wu Hongbo said two more words before he introduced them to the Institute of genetics, which is also a key visit today.

Most of the members of the Swedish delegation present were biology scholars, and some interdisciplinary or administrative scholars followed.

In fact, most of the Swedish delegation were scholars in biology, but they took it into consideration at the beginning of the invitation.

"Hongbo, it's up to you." Academician Zhu is one step behind and tells Wu Hongbo in his ear.

Wu Hongbo looked at academician Zhu helplessly and said, "do you flatter people like this? Why don't we show our faces? "

"What can you do if you show up?" Academician Zhu said, "we are fighting for the national scientific research system.""Ah... We have some good things in the Institute of genetics." The relationship between Wu Hongbo and Yang Rui is also very good. It's just a little unwilling. Academician Zhu's request for him is to let the Institute of genetics contribute to him. It's no longer his business.

Academician Zhu patted Wu Hongbo on the shoulder and said, "I know it's a bit difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, we have to go on. Without an umbrella supporter, no matter how beautiful our clothes are."

"I have to kill Yang Rui when it's over here." What Wu Hongbo said was vicious, but it was only superficial

Academician Zhu calmly smile, said: "Yang Rui has always been a generous person, when the time comes, let him subsidies."

"It has to be subsidized." Wu Hongbo said, but also determined to go back to the front row of the queue.

"Everybody, this is our main laboratory." After opening the door of the public laboratory and coughing twice, Wu Hong said: "since the invention of PCR, our Institute of genetics has introduced many PCR machines and carried out many large projects on the basis of PCR, including projects completed independently and cooperatively. Generally speaking, our project development is very optimistic, And it has a place in the application field of PCR.... "

Wu Hongbo uses Chinese, but the word "PCR" keeps popping out of his mouth, which is very obvious.

Another round of translation will make the impression even more profound.

Wu Hongbo continued to introduce the project of the Institute of genetics, and by the way, he promoted PCR to the core position, as if all the researches were carried out around PCR.

It is very common to experiment around an invention or an instrument.

For example, the reason why levinhock is famous in the history of biology is that he made the microscope, and then made a series of achievements around the microscope.

Similar to X-ray, the research based on X-ray has lasted for many years, such as crystallography. For a long time, it can be said that "what can we see when we irradiate with X-ray". At least half of the credit for the discovery of DNA double helix belongs to X-ray.

PCR It's as valuable as X-ray.

If you let Yang Rui evaluate it, until 30 years later, there are still countless achievements made around PCR every year, and its potential is far from being realized.

However, it was academician Zhu's deliberate plan to let Wu Hongbo talk about it during the introduction.

Wu Hongbo said while laughing bitterly in his heart.

The scholars of the Institute of genetics also widened their eyes and looked at Wu Hongbo. Some of them were angry and some of them were baffled.

On the contrary, the Swedish delegation took it for granted, and someone praised it: "now there are a lot of studies around PCR in various countries, and you can study them simultaneously. No wonder you have made a lot of achievements."

"PCR, after all, was invented by the Chinese. We are also the first to get the moon." Wu Hongbo continued to speak in Chinese, ignoring the expression that the translator wanted to die.
