Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

12 o'clock noon.

Yang Rui pinched his watch and announced: "Today's working time is up, everyone should go home and rest, there is Zhang Youchi, the way of civil and martial arts, right?"

"Really rest?" Professor Man Hai looked at Yang Rui with a strange tone.

Yang Rui frowned, and said, "Of course it's a real rest. Didn't I say that yesterday? Everyone should rest for half a day and have a good rest. Dying from overwork is not just for fun."

If there was any problem in the scientific world in the 1980s that was more serious than "those who made missiles were not as good as those who sold tea eggs", it was the problem of death from overwork. In academic institutions in the capital, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many middle-aged scholars die suddenly every year-in this era, there is actually no concept of death from overwork, but the deaths are all researchers in their prime, which is very self-explanatory. .

When the ion channel laboratory just started the research on "G protein-coupled receptors", Yang Rui didn't care much about this issue. The 110-hour working system sounds a bit inhumane, but in the 1980s, it was really nothing.

In the 1980s, elementary school students had to attend 6 days of class a week. In better middle schools, even students in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary schools began to make up lessons. Schools started self-study at 7:00 in the morning and 10:00 in the evening. Not a few. The scientific research dogs in the university are all learned along the way, and the university is more tiring than usual.

However, when the production of bovine rhodopsin protein increased steadily, Yang Rui's sense of crisis decreased a lot, and his requirements for the continuity and safety of the project increased implicitly.

It's like in an F1 race, when the number one car is far ahead of the second, the speed of the car can be reduced a little bit, and even pitting for refueling and changing tires is also an option that can be considered.

From Yang Rui's point of view, when he used the "Sleepwalking Dafa", the difficulty of the tasks in the first stage has been reduced a lot.

"The conformation of G protein-coupled receptors" is naturally terribly difficult to do from the front to the back, but it is nothing more than trial and error work to do it from the back to the front.

Trial and error naturally have costs and requirements, but the most important cost and requirements are actually an astonishing number of easy-to-use "G protein-coupled receptors". "Rhodopsin protein" is easy to use, and the quantity is sufficient.

Therefore, Yang Rui felt that it was time to slow down the speed of the car a little, and he could even make a pit stop.

It's a pity that his thoughts at this time have not been recognized by everyone.

A group of researchers have a much stronger sense of crisis than him,

Even though Yang Rui seriously announced the rest, several people still hesitated to leave.

"I've got a little more to finish."

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

"My wife is not at home in the afternoon, so I go back alone in a panic."

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

It's a group of scientific research dogs, who usually do the heaviest work, and now all of them are sticking out their tongues, wanting to leave but embarrassed to leave.

"I'm going to lock the door of the laboratory. You have to rest if you don't rest today. Go back, ah, go back." Yang Rui felt like a perverted boss, driving people out of the experiment one by one room.

A few people stood at the door, still unwilling to leave, and Man Hai said seriously: "Director Yang, we followed you to study for the purpose of achieving results. Resting is really not important. The current research progress is improving. I think It is better to seize the opportunity and not to delay for an afternoon rest."

His words were very much approved by others, and several people nodded their heads one after another.

Indeed, the newly joined professors, whether it is Man Hai, Feng Junming or Tao Xuelin, all of them came here for the success of G protein-coupled receptors, and they had to give up a lot of things, at least, They all let go of the temporary face problem.

However, giving up face for the time being is not really not caring about face, but a temporary compromise 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 if they can achieve certain success in G protein-coupled receptors. For this goal, they can give up their temporary face, and of course they can give up Temporary rest.

The so-called suffering is the only way to become a master. This was a deeply rooted idea in the 1980s.

Yang Rui scratched his head, not knowing what to say. To be honest, he can't tell whether the forced rest for half a day will have any effect, let alone scientific basis, but he is clear that if he continues to speed up like this, nothing will happen today and tomorrow. Nothing will happen next month, but something will happen after all.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui said: "I think there may be a little deviation between what you think the results are and what I think the results are."

"How do you say it?" A group of researchers stood ready to start a debate with Yang Rui.

"You are probably thinking that if you continue to work hard and make the conformation of the transmembrane region of G protein-coupled receptors, it will be regarded as an achievement, right?" Yang Rui asked.

Man Hai was pushed by someone next to him, and stood up inexplicably. He couldn't figure out Yang Rui's train of thought, so he had no choice but to say: "Director Yang, I have this idea, of course, you want to continue to do it , I also agree..."

The director of the laboratory is the person in charge of the laboratory and also the biggest boss of the laboratory. Everyone understands the principle of not being offended. Even though Man Hai is a professor at Peking University, after entering the ion channel laboratory, he still behaves like a man with his tail between his legs.

After all, Yang Rui's reputation has accumulated to the level it is today, and he is already sitting firmly in the position below the buttocks, which is difficult to challenge.

Yang Rui is also used to speaking from top to bottom. He looked at the dozens of people around him, coughed lightly, and said: "When I started working on G protein-coupled receptors, I said, Our goal is to make the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors... Today, I solemnly emphasize again that our goal is to make the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors. Conformation is only the first of them. step."

The heavy breathing and the voice suppressed in the throat well interpreted everyone's mood at the moment.

"Of course, I know that finding the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors is very difficult, and there is a great possibility that it will not be possible. However, the time to judge whether it can be made and whether it can be done is not now. It should be one or two years later, or even three or four years later, right?" Yang Rui is not going to spend a few years on the research of G protein-coupled receptors, but it is the scientific research field that takes a few years. normality.

Even, spending decades is a very normal behavior in terms of basic scientific research.

When Yang Rui said this, he paused again, and said: "Actually, the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors is difficult to make. Is it easy to make the transmembrane conformation? Can someone guarantee that the three-dimensional structure will be completed in a few months, half a year, or In a year, do you make a transmembrane conformation?"

Everyone lowered their heads and made no sound.

Who dares to make this guarantee, the achievement worth half a Nobel Prize, if anyone can guarantee that it will be done in half a year, then there must be a problem with intelligence-the possibility of being too strong exists, and it is more likely that it is too stupid.

"So, let's take a break today, and it will be the same in the future, at least two or three days a month. Guarantee a sustainable research state, okay?" Yang Rui asked coaxing a child.

Several researchers looked at each other and finally nodded.

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

Turning around 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 completed? You also said that there is a perfect plan..."

"I have a relatively complete theory, but I need your experimental support." Yang Rui laughed twice, and threw everyone out like chasing chickens, and then said: "Go back and take a bath or something, All of them are going to stink, well, those who can come to the lab later tomorrow are all loose, the experiments are endless..."

Yang Rui showed his posture as a tutor back then, and sent the researchers out one by one.

The moment he left the gate, Yang Rui relaxed and looked up at the sky, feeling that the sky was bluer.

"Go back to sleep." Yang Rui patted Gu Qiang's shoulder, exuding the breath of me having a big dream.
