Professor Cai wakes up very early every day, eight minutes ago, he first completes the tour of his laboratory, then checks the progress of several projects that he is most concerned about, and then begins to answer questions and solve problems for each research group.

He himself is a member of the Academy of Sciences, theoretically, more senior than the academicians of later generations, especially political rights, and the members of the department have more, because of this, Professor Cai's laboratory manages a number of research groups, these research groups have made achievements, and the corresponding author is Professor Cai.

Of course, Professor Cai also has to play the role of a boss, raise resources, decide on allocation, answer questions, and take risks while receiving honors.

Those who do scientific research do not pay attention to hard power, and who is a little higher than whose administrative level is of no practical significance, what they really exert their power is influence.

Albert Einstein, for example, was key to the Manhattan Project, and Li Siguang, whose decisions changed the course of China's energy industry.

This kind of strength is slowly accumulated, a good laboratory, especially a good top laboratory, is indispensable to have core outstanding people, but the run-in within the laboratory is also very important, which is a bit like an army, but it is different.

Soldiers in the modern army only need to have a secondary school education, and soldiers who have completed nine years of compulsory education can be caught one by one, so that in peacetime, conscripts do not need to arrest strong men at all, and strong men have to bribe conscription officers to realize the sacred ideal of protecting their homes and defending the country.

The requirements for officers in the modern army are slightly higher, and after graduating from military academies, they may not be able to be perfectly qualified after several years of training, but on the other hand, officers who have been trained for several years can always catch and use.

This is not the case with scientific research laboratories, especially top-level laboratories, although the existence of super geniuses can never be missing, but also high-training basic talents.

Of course, the basic talents in the top laboratories are also top talents in other laboratories.

This kind of laboratory integration work is often over the years, and not every good scientist can build an excellent laboratory.

Of course, good scientists are indispensable in a good laboratory.

Professor Cai's dream lab is the Cavendish Lab – most of which dream of being the next golden age of Cavendish Labs.

Cavendish has a very beautiful training system, they like to attract outstanding graduates from other universities as graduate students, and they are often taught by Nobel Prize-level researchers.

This is another story of the strong Hengqiang, a total of 29 scientists who have worked in the Cavendish laboratory have won the Nobel Prize, including Maxwell, the emperor of electromagnetism, Rayleigh, Thomson, the progenitor of electronics, and Rutherford......

In the '80s, the Cavendish Laboratory was a little weakened, which highlighted its other side – the physics department at the University of Cambridge.

Strictly speaking, the Cavendish Laboratory is the physics department of the University of Cambridge, and this point fascinates Professor Cai even more.

If the Department of Biology of Peking University can develop like this one day, it can really be said that life is a great fulfillment.

In Professor Cai's planning, Yang Rui should be the backbone of it, and maybe he can also serve as the next generation leader of the laboratory.

It's like Thomson is to Maxwell.

The more Professor Cai thought about it, the more excited he became, and when he walked to Tang's centralized laboratory, he had secretly decided that as long as Yang Rui's paper published in Cell did not falsify data, Yang Rui must be protected.

In the final analysis, when Yang Rui did the potassium channel project, the Department of Biology of Peking University did not pay enough attention to it, and such a level of paper should have provided sufficient funds and personnel.

Professor Cai thought about it, Yang Rui is really powerful to be able to make such results without support, such a genius scientist, even Peking University is rare.

While thinking about how to support Yang Rui, he slowly paced into the Tang Concentration Laboratory.

"Huh?" Professor Cai sniffled and said in his heart: "It smells so fragrant."

"What kind of experiment are you doing?" Professor Cai asked the students with a pleasant face.

Nowadays, the number of college students is small, and there is more contact with professors and leaders of the department, and there is no one who works in the laboratory who does not know Professor Cai, however, unlike Professor Cai's usual questions, not only is no one enthusiastic to answer today, but there is also a strange smell on the scene.

"Did the experiment go wrong?" Professor Cai's face tightened. The current experiment budget is tight, and every failure makes people sad.

"No, the experiment was good. The student answered the question first, which put Professor Cai at ease.

"What's the smell of?" Professor Cai asked again.

Several students lowered their heads in unison.

Without waiting for Professor Cai to ask again, Yang Rui's voice came from inside: "I know that fried rice is going to be pink and yellow, but modern rice is the same as rice in ancient times, who can say it, so I have to experiment, the three experimental groups, no less, all record the temperature and time." In addition, the meat should be half fine, how clear is it, who bought the meat so fat?"

"It's rare to have fatty meat to sell, so I quickly bought it back......"

"We're doing experiments, not living at home, of course, we have to buy according to the rules. ”

"Then this tamales are ready, can't you eat them?"

"Of course you can. ”

"Then I'm still happy to buy fat. ”

"If you're such a mess, I'll throw you out of the lab. Yang Rui's voice was loud and clear.

Professor Cai's face changed, and when he heard this, he asked, "What is the mess inside?"

He didn't wait for an answer, and pushed the door in.

The smell of meat comes to the nose.

Professor Cai couldn't help but twitch his nose twice.

The domestic economy in 84 years is no longer difficult, and for state cadres, it is no longer a problem to have a full stomach, and meat is a question of whether to eat or not for a figure like Professor Cai.

However, food will never be universal, and the smell will always evoke fond memories of human beings.

"Professor Cai?" Yang Rui greeted suspiciously, and immediately laughed: "It's better to come early than to come early, as soon as the tamales come out of the pot, you came to report." ”

Professor Cai suppressed his anger, looked at the second generation of the great laboratory he imagined, and said in a deep voice: "Why is there tamales in the laboratory?"

Yang Rui blinked and said, "I want to do a simple project, take it easy, and treat it as a vacation, well, a vacation project......"

"What kind of vacation topic do you need to use tamales?" Professor Cai's heart has been torn apart! Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Department of Biology has to deal with biology, but in fact, the Department of Biology involves more things at the cellular and even molecular levels, but no matter which level, it can't reach the tamales!

Yang Rui was full of calmness, and said: "The small topic, tentatively named is "Using Modern Biological Methods to Recreate the Classics of 'Suiyuan Food List'". Suiyuan Food List is the most famous gastronomic work in ancient China......"

"I know the Menu of Food. ”

"Yes, your level of Chinese studies is quite high. Yang Rui touched his chin and said: "Steamed pork is made of fine fat and half meat, fried rice flour yellow, steamed with noodle sauce, and used cabbage as a pad, when cooked, not only the meat is beautiful, but the vegetables are also beautiful." I don't see water, so the taste is unique. Jiangxi people also dish. ”

Professor Cai's eyes were green: "I know tamales. ”

"Yes, let's try it, it's all in vain, and it's just saliva. Yang Rui went to serve the meat upside down.

"I'm asking, why don't you do serious things. Professor Cai couldn't help but say: "Do you know that some scholars are crazy to repeat your experiments, and if you can't repeat it, you can't repeat it......

He said it twice in a row, expressing his attention.

Yang Rui calmly pushed the meat bowl and said: "It's only been a few months and I want to repeat it, it's normal if I can't repeat it, I've done it enough." ”

"Aren't you worried?" Professor Cai was slightly surprised.

Yang Rui pursed his lips and said, "Huang Mao has done a lot of specific experiments, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”

"That's right......" The worry on Professor Cai's face disappeared slightly, and he frowned again: "You can't lie on the merit book to eat, and besides, where is there a ...... to make tamales in the laboratory?"

"Can you taste it, is it delicious?" Yang Rui couldn't help but say, stuffed a piece of tamales directly into Professor Cai's mouth, and said: "I'm going to find a few more people to help with the experiment, they have never been in contact with the laboratory, and everything is practiced, so it's better to study the ancient cuisine, the tamales are done, and I'm going to make lychee meat." ”

When the meat reached his mouth, Professor Cai had to chew it, chewing and chewing, Professor Cai's mood was much more relaxed, and his sinking face also floated, and he said lightly: "It's not bad, but!"

"Sure enough, the fried rice is too burnt, isn't it? There will definitely be an improvement in the next pot, and I think it's okay to lower the temperature by 2 degrees Celsius. Yang Rui was serious as if he was discussing academic issues.

Professor Cai couldn't get serious at all, and said helplessly: "If you do experiments like this, it will dampen the morale of the laboratory." ”

"If you have meat to eat, will your morale be lowered?" Yang Rui didn't believe it.

Professor Cai couldn't help but look around, seeming to ...... Morale was really not affected, even Associate Professor Xu Zhengping twitched his nose and operated the pipette gun seriously.
