Chapter 513: Hormonal Changes

In fact, when Gibson and Sherwood learned about the joint project between Beijing Forestry College and Peking University, they couldn't help but cross their legs.

"The two universities are united?" Sherwood repeated the message from Manager Xiao, a little scared.

Gibson asked, "Peking University is the best university in China, right?

"The best universities in China at the moment are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University and University of Science and Technology of China...... Beijing Forestry College is an upper-middle university, after all, it is in Beijing. Manager Xiao explained as much as he could......

"Upper-middle, like Brown University?"

"I don't know what Brown University is like......"

"It's okay, anyway, it's not a community college, is it?"

"Of course, Beijing Forestry University is a formal university, either directly under the Ministry of Education, or a university of the Ministry of Forestry. ”

When Gibson heard the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Forestry, his face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "The Chinese government is involved?"

Part of Manager Xiao's job is to explain the Chinese problem, he thought for a while, and then said to the two technical foreigners: "The Chinese government is a general concept, Peking University and Beijing Forestry College also belong to the jurisdiction of the Chinese government, but they are not under the jurisdiction of the same department, the same way, you are more familiar with COFCO also has its jurisdiction, if they go abroad to negotiate, they can also be considered to represent the Chinese government, but in China, we generally default to the central government as the Chinese government...... So, in China, it's important to find out what the different entities have under their jurisdiction, and I don't think the central government in China is going to get involved, and if they want to express their opinions, we don't have a chance to talk to each other. ”

"So, what units in China are involved now?"

"Maybe it's just the academic activities of the two schools?" Manager Xiao guessed quite accurately.

Gibson shook his head: "Yang Rui even rejected my offer of $30,000, do you think it will be a personal act?"

"This ...... Hardly. If it weren't for this, Manager Xiao would have said much more affirmatively. However, as a high-income foreign employee, especially a high-income foreign employee in Europe and the United States, it is difficult for Manager Xiao to imagine that Yang Rui would refuse the offer of $30,000.

In Coca-Cola, Manager Xiao can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, close to 10 times the salary of ordinary people, and if you count the bonus, it must be more than 20 times the salary of ordinary people.

However, when you ask yourself, Mr. Xiao doesn't think he can refuse the temptation of $30,000.

"Aren't all Chinese officials very fond of receiving some benefits? I mean, at least some of the Chinese officials I've heard of like these things, is Yang Rui an exception?" Gibson asked.

Manager Xiao's expression was a little unsightly, but he still replied, "Maybe it's because he's younger." ”

"Can you write cell at a young age?" Sherwood laughed: "Believe me, the guy who can write cell is definitely not an idiot." ”

"Should we report back to the top?" Gibson had already felt that the situation was out of control.

Sherwood was silent, and if he reported it, the two of them would definitely be responsible.

"Let's figure it out and wait...... A week's time. Sherwood wanted to struggle for a while, and said: "I know a few friends, I heard that Yang Rui and Jielikang have a good relationship, I'll see if I can contact Yang Rui through them." ”

Gibson and Manager Xiao were worried, but Sherwood, the factory's technical director, often attended gatherings of technicians in China, and it was not entirely without opportunities.

This search is a week.

During this period, Gibson had two more Coca-Colas delivered to Yang Rui. There is no way, as a foreigner, it is too easy for him to be noticed, and he can only express his thoughts through others.

Yang Rui should drink, eat, do research and research, and didn't take Coca-Cola seriously.

However, the members of the laboratory were very happy, and later, not only the members of the Tang Concentration Laboratory, but also the members of the Sinovel Laboratory, who were from the laboratory next door, could occasionally get a little light.

The cost of giving each of them a bottle is too high, Liang Jinrong, who occupies a temporary plot in the Tang Concentration Laboratory, in order to have a good relationship with his colleagues at Peking University, as if he was sending wine, took a large aluminum alloy tray with two or three bottles of Coca-Cola on it, and a circle of cups, which also looked good, enough to send ten people to the laboratory.

And Liang Jinrong's progress is also extremely fast, a group of mice drink Coke every day, drink Coke at noon, and drink Coke at night, so cheerful that everyone in the laboratory is envious.

Of course, mice also have unhappy times, they have to be weighed every day, the amount of food they eat, and the worst is the intermittent eye blood to isolate the serum, and measure the testosterone in the male mice and the estradiol levels in the female mice.

As a laboratory animal, this is an inevitable fate, Liang Jinrong usually lets his eldest disciple personally get his hands on it, and directly tortures the mice by twisting the spine, and the whole process is painless.

A week later, the statistical data of the experiment changed, but it was not consistent with Yang Rui's expectations.

"We found that the serum testosterone levels of male mice given Coca-Cola tended to increase relative to the control group. Liang Jinrong paused as he spoke, and then said, "However, the statistical difference has not yet been reached. ”

"Serum testosterone rises, not decreases? Yang Rui's memory of foreign experiments has come to the conclusion that serum testosterone levels have decreased.

Testosterone is a male hormone, for adults, has the effect of maintaining sexual desire and the number of times, in addition, it also has the effect of maintaining muscle strength and mass, maintaining bone density and strength, for a person, the latter is actually more important. In addition, testosterone also has a physical performance-boosting effect, and some athletes use testosterone before the competition to intensify the physical state, of course, most sports in later generations have banned testosterone, but not all.

However, like most substances in the human body, human research on testosterone is only superficial, and its biochemical processes have not been clarified until 30 years later, but because of this, any product that affects testosterone levels should be treated with caution.

Because of this, Liang Jinrong's expression was quite excited, and said: "The number of experimental cases is still relatively small, and the observation time is relatively short, so no statistical differences have been found, but I think it is very promising to continue......

"Why is testosterone elevated?" Yang Rui said to himself strangely. If the testosterone level rises, Coca-Cola has really become a panaceacy, the entrance is an aphrodisiac, and the external use can kill sperm - The saying that cola can kill sperm is also very popular abroad, however, unlike the saying that circulates in China, the cola spermicidal method of foreigners is for external use, especially popular in South America in the sixties and seventies, when there are no condoms and contraceptive pills, the great South American people shake the cola bottle vigorously, and then put it in the right place, and the strong cola liquid will be sprayed into the right place, if cola can indeed kill sperm, this is an excellent morning-after contraceptive method, however, later studies have proved that this is not useful.

Coke that kills sperm has no egg, and Coke that can be used as an aphrodisiac definitely doesn't exist, Yang Rui began to look at the record from the beginning, and without reading two pages, he laughed.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jinrong thought something was wrong.

Yang Rui shook his head and said, "Are you using juvenile mice?"

"Yes. Liang Jinrong nodded heavily and said: "Testosterone is a sex hormone, if it is ultimately proven that cola will increase testosterone levels, it means that drinking a large amount of cola for a long time is likely to lead to precocious puberty in teenagers......"

Sun Ruyue, who was drinking Coke and listening to them analyze the problem, silently put down the Coke.

Wang Yaowu next to him snatched it, poured himself a mouthful, and looked at Sun Ruyue with disdain: "Just like you, are you still a teenager?"

Sun Ruyue was dumbfounded.

Liang Jinrong took the opportunity to say: "Yang Rui, if you want to produce data, you have to increase the number of mice." ”

The number of mice increases, and the cost of various inputs and tests will also increase.

However, Yang Rui nodded without thinking about it, anyway, someone will pay for it later.
