Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Cheer up, I'll treat you to dinner." Richard grabbed the translator and toured his laboratory.

"Yes." There was a touch of sadness in the answers of the experimental dogs.

It is of course a good thing for someone to invite you to dinner, but if Richard invites you to dinner, it means that the overtime hours will be very, very long.

The work in the laboratory consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, because you have to concentrate all the time, and you get tired very quickly. In ordinary laboratories, the doors are closed at nine o'clock in the evening, because most people leave after get off work.

Not so in Richard's lab.

Richard was in such a hurry.

In order to continue the second phase of experiments related to potassium ion channels, Richard sold his old face completely.

The University of California, Berkeley is one of the top 20 super universities in the world. In the world, especially in developed countries in Europe and the United States, although it is weaker than Harvard University and Cambridge University, it is still stronger than the University of Tokyo. Powerful, with such a brand and some capital accumulated in the past, Richard finally got a full amount of sponsorship before selling out his old face.

And this time, if he still can't win the race, Richard may not be able to recover in ten years.

In addition to the dilemma of scientific research funding, Richard's reputation is also at stake.

As a professor at a prestigious university, Richard's original scientific research environment was very good. Although UC Berkeley is a world-class school, Richard is not a soy saucer. His reputation guarantees his status at UC Berkeley. In extreme cases, UC Berkeley has to worry about Richard changing jobs.

After all, well-known professors like this are all outstanding in their respective fields, and if they lose one at random, it will take a lot of time to fill the vacancy.

However, scientific research competition is the easiest way to increase reputation, but also the easiest way to reduce reputation. If Richard competes with a laboratory of the same prestigious university, he will lose if he loses. However, he has lost to a Chinese laboratory now. , received much criticism.

To some extent, Richard's worth is in a state of decline. Losing to Yang Rui just once is enough, if he loses again, he will become a well-known failed professor.

If it is possible to do it all over again, Richard will definitely not compete with Yang Rui again, it is too uneconomical. Winning is normal, losing is bad luck. But before that, Richard never put Yang Rui in his eyes.

"The preparations for the experiment are complete." At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Anqing reported. He is now the best among experimental dogs, and he is quite valued by Richard, but Xu Anqing would rather not be valued if possible.

Richard responded, wiped his face, stood in front of the test bench, put on fierce eyes, and began to check the preparations before the experiment.

In order to race against time, Richard has broken the original experimental cycle. After one wave of experiments, the experimental dogs are asked to prepare for the next wave of experiments, while he himself rests when he can rest, and endures when he cannot rest.

Xu Anqing tidied up the table a bit, and stood on both sides of the laboratory with Richard's doctoral students, and began to cooperate with Richard to conduct the main experiment. Speaking of which, such a long-term experiment has trained him, but the process is too difficult,

In fact, Xu Anqing's patience has almost been worn out.

"Work harder. Our experiment is progressing relatively smoothly. According to the current progress, we are likely to make great progress within a month." Richard encouraged the members of the laboratory again.

Xu Anqing let out a weak "Oh", and the other experimental dogs were also in a similar state.

They work longer hours and are more fatigued.

Richard took a look, this is not okay.

After thinking for a while, Richard made an impromptu speech: "I know that you are very, very tired now, but I hope you know that your opponent must also be very tired. More importantly, what we are doing now is There are almost no world-class projects and teams from all over the world who can achieve what we are doing now. And such opportunities are rare, and you should be proud to have today’s experience, gentlemen.”

When he said this, Xu Anqing and the others really straightened their chests. Today's Chinese still believe in world-class things.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, said two more off-topic words, turned around and prepared to start again.

It is not easy to be the boss of the laboratory. On the one hand, you have to constantly find money and control expenses;

It is even more difficult for Richard to be in China. He himself has been pushed to where he is today. He has no choice but to try his best to maintain it.

Press the power switch on the right side of the experimental table, at this moment, a sentence in Chinese and English floated over: "Our main opponent is Yang Rui."

Richard turned around quickly, but saw that it was Zhu Jiahao, the experimental assistant.

"Our main opponent is Tang Concentrated Laboratory." Richard corrected earnestly.

In the past, when Richard said so, others would not refute. But now, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days made Xu Anqing say indignantly: "Yang Rui's project is Yang Rui's project. He has the sign of Tang Concentration Laboratory. If others don't know it, don't we know it?".

Richard's face suddenly darkened. Losing to a laboratory in the third world is shameful enough, and losing to a student from a third world country is simply a shame, so he has always been reluctant to mention Yang Rui.

Xu Anqing mentioned it, and Richard couldn't get angry, so he had to hide his anger in his heart and said: "No matter who hangs whose brand, our goal is to make our own things and complete them as quickly as possible. Will care about the losers."

Xu Anqing smiled inwardly, and it showed on his face: "Do your own things?"

Richard's scientific research clues were all provided by Yang Rui. It is ironic to say that he is doing his own things.

Professor Richard blushed, pretending not to hear it, and lowered his head to work.

After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang.

"What's the matter?" Richard's doctoral student Connors picked up the phone, his tone was not very polite, and he was annoying enough.

"I'm Kamas. I just got a speech title from the International Conference on Medical Bioengineering. There is a paper on mutagenic gene analysis of potassium ion channels. Let me know in advance. Tell Richard that he owes me one."

"Who is the author?"

"Yang Rui from the Tang Concentrated Laboratory of Peking University, China, Huang Mao as the second author, Tu Xian, Xiaoyun Wang, and Zhenxue Wei as the third author." The phone hung up after finishing speaking.

Connors froze, until the phone buzzed, and then hung up the phone.

"What's the matter? Is there another reagent that can't be delivered?". Richard lowered his head to do the experiment and asked.

Connors' throat was a little dry, and he took a sip of water before saying, "It's Professor Kamas' call."

"Camas at UCLA?"

"Yes."

"Is he coming to China for a meeting?". Richard thought the other party was looking for reception.

"No." Connors shook his head slightly, and said, "Professor, come here first."

Richard frowned and looked up: "Wait a minute."

"OK."

Richard acted as if nothing had happened. After another half an hour of experimentation, he wiped his hands and went to the corner of the laboratory, asking, "What's the matter?"

Connors went over with his head down, told the phone call he had just received, and said, "Maybe the news is still uncertain."

"It's not wrong, Camas is a member of the organizing committee." This is the advantage of researchers from European and American countries. Interpersonal relationships will play a role in many cases. If the progress of the two experiments is almost the same, Richard may It can also speed up the progress to catch up.

"Did he talk about the other party's progress?" Richard asked again.

"I didn't say anything else, just hung up."

"Leaking information is very troublesome, so don't announce it to the public." Richard thought for a while, and said, "Let's sort out the experiments we made and go to the meeting as well."

"Is the current progress okay?".

"Yang Rui's progress can't be that fast. It's only been a few months. At most, he induced a genetic mutation and then figured out the nature." Richard was a little guilty, but he still insisted on saying so. It is impossible for him to admit defeat directly. In this experiment, too much money and reputation have been pressured on him.
