Associate Professor Xu Zhengping was still happily doing experiments in the Tang Concentration Laboratory, and He Quangui and others continued to give him a hand.

Anyway, the project he is doing now is still hanging the name of the Tang Concentration Laboratory, using the funds of the Tang Concentration Laboratory, and the scientific research Wang of the Tang Concentration Laboratory, since this is the case, Xu Zhengping is not in a hurry to move away.

He Quangui was a little strange, he made a set of data to spare, took two mouthfuls of tea, and said by the way: "Professor Xu, the amino acid analyzer in Yang Rui's laboratory is not good? I see a lot of people running over there for three days, why are you still here? I can't bear to let us go." ”

Xu Zhengping glanced at him, and said with pretended anger: "What, your kid hasn't graduated yet, so it's annoying to me?"

"How come, even if you graduate, I don't dare to annoy you, when the time comes, I will live in the dormitory of the Institute of Biological Products, you want to come over, say hello in advance, I immediately rushed out to buy squid and sea cucumber for you to fry. ”

"I think you're trying to fire my squid. ”

"How can it, just do your group of projects, and properly evaluate the professor next year, and come back in the future, don't forget me." "He Quangui's personality was originally extroverted, but now that he is about to graduate, he is even more free and easy.

Of course, he found the job he wanted, so he had a relaxed attitude. In contrast, Zhao Pingchuan, who is also facing graduation, is even more reticent. As the most mathematically gifted scientific researcher in the laboratory, Zhao Pingchuan has undertaken most of the arithmetic work, and has made remarkable achievements, and has signed the paper many times, however, with the current distribution system of domestic universities, Zhao Pingchuan is difficult to find the job he wants, do pure mathematical research, he may not be able to compete with the students of the mathematics department, do biological research, and he does not like ordinary experimental work......

In the time outside of processing experimental data, Zhao Pingchuan seems to have fallen into the shadows, and it is even easier to leave him in the corner when everyone chats freely.

He Quangui spoke about the amino acid analyzer in Yang Rui's laboratory again, and his envy was overflowing.

Associate Professor Xu Zhengping's expression was always flat.

In his eyes, the amino acid analyzer in Yang Rui's laboratory is more like a totem, proving the existence of this independent laboratory, and of course, it has also attracted the attention of many researchers.

If it was a few days ago, Associate Professor Xu Zhengping would even be very anxious, because he didn't think that such a "featured" laboratory could make any achievements.

However, he is not in a hurry at all now.

The more than 300,000 yuan of funds that have been received is Xu Zhengping's greatest confidence.

This money, if used to assemble an ordinary laboratory, is more than enough. Xu Zhengping was also extremely relieved.

After completing a short and quick project again, Professor Xu went to the cafeteria to eat, as if walking, and walked to the "ion channel laboratory".

"Let go when you level it......" The laboratory was full of people, but it was not the same as the previous two days.

Professor Xu's steps were a little faster.

Turning the entrance, I saw that in the empty laboratory hall, there were more than a dozen people busy, similar to the last installation of GE's amino acid analyzer, one-third of the dozen people were white, and the rest of the people couldn't tell whether they were Singaporeans, Hong Kongers, or Indians.

Professor Xu did not mean to take the first step towards anthropology, stared at the instrument being installed for a while, and then found Yang Rui, who was seriously supervising the work, and asked, "Is this a scanning electron microscope?"

"Good eye. Yang Rui raised his finger and said with a smile: "Raster scanning, the degree of damage and pollution to biological samples is relatively small, I especially want the beam size of the electron probe is small, and the energy of the electron probe is also small, which can minimize the impact of biological samples. ”

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

Yang Rui smiled lightly: "Calculated into RMB, less than 700,000." ”

"Hiss......" Professor Xu's leisurely cultivation for a whole day is gone: "Where did we get 700,000 yuan? Didn't we only get 300,000 yuan?"

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

Professor Xu looked at him, not knowing what to say.

It is not easy to say that it is not easy to make these units account so quickly, and many nominal donations and subsidies are often quietly lost, and it is only a few days of hard work for people to send money over, but this skill is far more than most of the laboratory leaders in the school.

But to say good, Professor Xu's heart is strange.

He looked around at the empty laboratory, and he always felt uncomfortable.

Such a laboratory does not even have the basic functions - of course, communication experiments are feasible, but they are always inconvenient, and from the point of view of efficiency, it seems that money should be put to good use.

There are so many laboratories in the country, all of which are upgraded little by little, and it is too special to buy an instrument with all the money.

Xu Zhengping originally expected that the hundreds of thousands of yuan would improve the embarrassment of the laboratory, but he didn't expect that Yang Rui would buy a scanning electron microscope with 700,000 yuan.

Of course, scanning electron microscopy is good, just playing with this thing, you can produce a few papers a year

But in this lab, the most important thing is not the scanning electron microscope.

"The school has to inspect laboratories at all levels every year, and our laboratory is so special, I'm afraid we can't check it." Professor Xu changed his perspective and admonished, which can be regarded as painstaking.

Yang Rui didn't hear it, waved his hand and said: "Let's wait for the inspection, at this stage, we must first lay a good foundation for the laboratory." ”

Professor Xu almost rolled his eyes: what is the foundation of a two-instrument laboratory? A chair on both legs will fall.

Yang Rui is still smiling and watching the engineers do the installation, the scanning electron microscope is mainly a vacuum system, an electron beam system and an imaging system, each part is not particularly complicated, and can even be called simple, therefore, in the ****** period, several research institutions in China have launched the scanning electron microscope.

However, the structure of the scanning electron microscope is not complicated, but the core is in terms of accuracy, in addition, the indicators of the motor and other equipment are far beyond the third world level, so it is not surprising that the domestic scanning electron microscope business is dead.

By the 80s, in fact, there were not a few Chinese companies that produced scanning electron microscopes, and they could win an award if they basically developed a product, but in terms of sales, the best ones only sold 400 units.

With Yang Rui's nobility and coldness in his laboratory, he naturally disdains to use such products.

Science is a very realistic and unforgiving thing, and if you fool people with something that fools them, it will learn to fool people.

Domestic high-end instruments may also be used, but the standard of "can be used" is not high-end at all.

"Let's ...... Don't buy any other equipment?" Professor Xu Zhengping asked, leaning against Yang Rui.

Yang Rui moved away a little imperceptibly, and said, "I want to buy it too, but I don't have any money." ”

Xu Zhengping laughed twice, can you have money? 700,000 yuan to buy an instrument is more expensive than a laboratory.

Thinking about it this way, and looking at this scanning electron microscope again, Xu Zhengping secretly thought: Otherwise, let's do a few special experiments first?

"By the way, if Professor Xu is free today, let's interview a few people with me. Yang Rui squatted next to him, and his tone of voice seemed to be homely.

Xu Zhengping asked in surprise: "Who are you interviewing?"

"Look, we now have a scanning electron microscope, and this amino acid analyzer, do you want to open a few special projects?" Yang Rui seemed to think of it with Xu Zhengping, but in fact, he thought clearly when he bought the instrument. There is this kind of unique instrument in the country, or the first instrument in the country, what do you do without doing special experiments?

Xu Zhengping's mind was confused, and he didn't answer for a while.

Yang Rui said to himself: "The amino acid analyzer that has been installed, if it is fully prepared, it can do several experiments a day, and it can analyze more than 20 kinds of amino acids at a time. ”

"Analysis of amino acid types of kelp in Bohai Bay?" Xu Zhengping smiled.

"The analysis of amino acid types and content of kelp in Bohai Bay, this topic can be published in a journal that is a little better. Yang Rui moved his squatting feet, and said: "Change it again, "Analysis of Amino Acid Types and Content of Kelp in Bohai Bay, and Comparison with Kelp in the Yellow Sea", this topic should be published in a big domestic journal. ”

Xu Zhengping couldn't laugh or cry, and asked: "Then what if you want to publish it internationally?"

"SCI-level ordinary journals, just add a little international vision, for example, "Analysis of Amino Acid Types and Content of Kelp in Bohai Bay, China, and Comparison with Canadian Kelp", well, this is simple, Canada, the United States, etc., ten have analyzed their own kelp, let's just take the data and compare it horizontally. ”

Xu Zhengping smiled: "What if you want to publish it better?"

"After the horizontal comparison, there will be a better conclusion, and this title is not easy to come up with. Yang Rui seemed to think.

Xu Zhengping smiled and stopped smiling, and said, "The topic you said seems to be really doable." ”

"Of course I can do it, and I can write another stubble for sea bass, and I will insist on writing for ten years, and I will be an international seafood expert." Yang Rui laughed.

Xu Zhengping didn't smile, and pondered: "If I can become an international seafood expert, I am also willing." ”

Yang Rui heard it and said: "You can do it if you want to, the international is so big, and two seafood experts can also accommodate it, and besides, international seafood experts may not use a few scanning electron microscopes, we still have to find someone to interview." ”

"Who are the people coming for the interview?"

"In the first round of interviews, we still gave priority to our school, and several teachers and graduate students came to contact us. ”

"Graduate students are also coming?" "Graduate students are basically scientific research dogs, and they do not have the right to research freely.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "It is estimated that the tutor sent me, let's not care about this, my requirements are simple, hang my laboratory name, hang my corresponding author, hang the first author of the experiment I participated in, as long as the person is a normal person and can use it, we will recruit it first." ”

"Your requirements are not high, nor are they low. Xu Zhengping smiled noncommittally, and then asked: "I heard you say that the first round is from our school, but there are also from other schools?"

"The most advanced amino acid analyzer in the country, this reputation, I dare not say that it resounded all over the country, and the biocircle in Beijing should have spread all over the city. Yang Rui knew the temptation of a high-end instrument, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I reported to Professor Cai who is from the other school, what he meant, talent is the most valuable property of the university, and the more the property, the better." ”

Xu Zhengping swallowed his saliva and asked, "Professor Cai wants to dig into the corners of people's walls?"

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

In this era when undergraduates are scarce, experienced undergraduates, and even experts and scholars with better conditions, are simply more popular than fat.

Of course, it is very easy to offend people by poaching people in this environment.

Yang Rui didn't care about this, he didn't point to other universities to eat, and said casually: "I didn't take the initiative to dig people, and Professor Cai wouldn't go, we were hit by the corner of the wall, and reacted passively." ”
