Scholars in the courtyard

Among this group of people, there were several people wearing white shirts who were full of energy and smiling. They had the elegant temperament unique to intellectuals of that era. They all looked over after seeing Yang Xiaotao riding a bicycle.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was wearing nothing special in a white shirt and holding a notebook in his hand, especially at such a young age, he did not rush forward.

At the gate, a row of soldiers were checking, and people kept coming over to show their certificates and then walk in.

Yang Xiaotao took out a pass from his pocket, hung it around his neck, and followed the flow of people inside.

Soon, Yang Xiaotao learned from the exchanges with passers-by that most of these people were students from Sijiu City. After hearing about this exchange meeting, they all came to study enthusiastically.

Because the number of places reserved for the school is limited, many people come here to stand and listen, but even this cannot stop their thirst for knowledge.

"Yu Hua, hurry up."

"If we go too late, we won't be able to take up space."

A female voice sounded in his ears, and Yang Xiaotao looked sideways.

I saw a girl with short hair, holding a yellow leather notebook in her hand, running, wiping sweat on her face, flushed, but full of anxiety.

This girl has a fiery look, and she is impatient at first glance.

"Sister An, here you go, wait for me."

Another voice came from behind. This voice was neither fast nor slow. Although it was small, the voice was very clear.

A short young man appeared in Yang Xiaotao's field of vision. He had a thin body and a pair of particularly eye-catching ears.

"Yu Hua, hurry up. It's hard to earn a spot. If you go late and miss the teacher's class, we won't be able to explain it when you go back."

"Oh, you're so slow, I'll go take a seat first."

The girl named Sister An said while running.

But while running, he didn't notice Yang Xiaotao in front of him and bumped into him.

boom

Yang Xiaotao was fine, but the girl leaned to the side.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Yang Xiaotao grabbed the girl and held her steady.

"sorry Sorry."

The girl stood firm, rubbed her arms, and apologized quickly.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We didn't mean it."

The young man behind also came up to explain. Yang Xiaotao waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. Just be careful. There are many people here."

Seeing this, the girl nodded sheepishly, but she was anxious in her heart. She signaled to the young man, then turned around and ran to the auditorium.

"Sister An, I'm just impatient." The young man said calmly, with a kind attitude, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "I'm sorry."

"fine."

Yang Xiaotao smiled indifferently, and then the two of them walked forward together.

"Are you here to attend a lecture, student?"

"There are a lot of places in the schools in these 49 cities, but not so many for those of us outside."

Yu Hua complained a little. They took the train here last night and rushed here before they had a good rest. Now they are still sleepy.

"I'm here, close."

Yang Xiaotao said politely. He found that he got along well with this person and couldn't help but chat a few more words.

"I heard that many professors will come this time."

"I really want to take a closer look. This is something that hasn't happened in the past few years."

Yu Hua sighed, the desire for knowledge flashing in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm a little nervous."

"Nervous? Yes, you have to be nervous. If you miss something, it will be a loss."

As they talked, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Hall Road. A group of workers with armbands were giving guidance. The two walked in and looked at the large venue. At least a few hundred people could sit here.

At the front, the original podium was removed, and the original table was occupied by two large blackboards. There was only a table next to it with a connected microphone on it.

"Yu Hua, this way."

The girl inside shouted.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the aisle next to the seats, which was originally for people to walk, but now it was full of people.

It's just that everyone has the quality, and there is still a path for everyone to pass.

"Let's go quickly."

Yu Hua asked Yang Xiaotao to step forward.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know where to sit, so he followed him.

Passing through the rows of seats, some were already occupied and some were still empty.

When they came to the girl's side, the girl was polite to the person behind her. The person gave way and Yu Hua squeezed in. Yang Xiaotao saw that no one was moving and stood aside for the time being.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to get a seat."

"By the way, my name is An Ran, from southern Hunan. This is Yu Hua, who lives in the same place as me."

The girl said without saying anything, and also introduced Yu Hua on the side.

"Hello, I'm local, my name is Yang Xiaotao."

Yang Xiaotao said softly. When the girl named An Ran heard the name, she suddenly frowned and then let go, as if she was overthinking it.

"Do you have a seat?"

"I don't know about this either."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the front seat and said, "There should be one."

"I really envy you local people. When the school got it, they took it with them to sit on. We have to stand for a long time. It's not fair at all."

An Ran pouted, feeling extremely unbalanced.

"By the way, look at your ID. There's a seat number on the back."

Finally, he looked at the admission ticket on Yang Xiaotao's chest, reminded him, and turned his own over. There was no text on the back.

Yang Xiaotao was reminded and quickly picked it up and took a look.

Number six in the second row.

"There is a seat."

Yang Xiaotao took one look and put it down and said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's not fair."

An Ran murmured, while Yu Hua smiled apologetically, "Sister An has such a temper, don't take her seriously."

"By the way, do you listen particularly well?"

As he said this, Yu Hua opened his notebook, which contained the course schedule for the three days. From what time to what time, everything was covered in general.

"No, I just listen to whatever they say."

Yang Xiaotao said and patted his notebook, looking like a serious and good student.

"Yes, I think so too."

Yu Hua smiled, and An Ran snorted beside him, "Don't forget the teacher's instructions about hybrid corn. You have to be very careful about this. He doesn't have time to come. We can't get it wrong."

Yu Hua was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The three of them were talking, and people came in one after another, some sitting on their seats, and some looking for places to stand.

At this time, a middle-aged man appeared on the podium in front, picked up the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am the host of this conference. Pay attention now, it will start in fifteen minutes."

"Those who have seats, please take them quickly, and those who don't have seats please work hard."

"Also, everyone should pay attention to the discipline of the venue, be civilized, and don't make noises for no reason. If you have any questions, please wait until the Q\u0026A session. If you want to go to the toilet, please do it."

"Anyone who violates this will not only be expelled from the conference, but will also be disqualified from subsequent meetings. Please pay attention."

The host mentioned a lot of precautions, including a focus on meeting discipline, which made many people put their minds at ease. Even An Ran, who was just aggrieved, also kept his mouth shut for fear of being kicked out.

"I'll go first. When it's over, I'll invite you to my home."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, waved and left.

"Reappearance."

"See you soon."

Yang Xiaotao left and walked forward.

An Ran pouted again, "Xiao Yu, look, if you stay here, you will be like him and don't have to stand."

"That's different. I feel like I learn more by following the teacher."

Yu Hua said nonchalantly, "By the way, where is the hybrid corn class?"

"It seems like tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to come in such a hurry."

An Ran complained, but quickly corrected her attitude, "Forget it, it's not easy for us to come here. It's easier to do business if we listen more and go back."

As the two of them talked, Yang Xiaotao continued to walk forward. Many people looked over and were curious along the way.

So young, sitting in the front row?

Could it be that he is a top student from some school?

Or does it matter?

An Ran and the two also noticed it, but they were even more disappointed in their hearts.

Sometimes, being born in a good place really has huge advantages.

Yang Xiaotao walked to the second row, and there were already people sitting on the left and right.

At this moment, the first row was still empty, but there were a few people sitting in their row, chatting with relaxed expressions. Yang Xiaotao looked at the number plate, walked over and sat down.

A middle-aged man next to him looked up, nodded slightly, and then continued chatting with several other people.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and sat quietly.

I also listened to some of the chats between several people, and they were talking about petrochemical industry.

After a while, the seats on both sides were filled with people, and the host from the front appeared again.

"Comrades, I would like to welcome President Deng of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and all the experts."

bang bang bang bang

Everyone stood up and applauded, and the entire auditorium burst into applause.

Yang Xiaotao watched Dean Deng take the lead, followed by a dozen gray-haired old men. They were dressed simply, some even wore reading glasses, but without exception, everyone was holding a notebook and a pen.

Here, they are both teachers giving lectures and students learning.

"Hello everyone!"

Dean Deng took the microphone and scanned the audience, "Today, so many comrades have come, some are young and promising, some are studying hard, some have made outstanding contributions, and some have been working silently. Everyone gathers together, Wander in the ocean of knowledge and join in the great event!"

bang bang bang

"The great man once said that ideas need to be collided, not to work behind closed doors!"

"So, the purpose of this event we hold is to let everyone understand the development status and process at home and abroad through exchanges, and understand the gaps, so that we can make up for the gaps and catch up!"

bang bang bang

Yang Xiaotao stood up and played the drums enthusiastically, and he was full of expectations for this exchange.

Although, he is just a scholar.

"If you come here, you come here to learn and make progress. That's all I'm going to say. If there's anything extra, I'll leave it to you."

"In the end, I hope that all the comrades who can come here can leave with something gained."

bang bang bang

After Dean Deng finished speaking, he stepped back to make way for a group of old people behind him.

"Next, let me introduce, this is also a famous expert in our country, Mr. Li Sanjin."

bang bang bang

"Who is this……"

After the host finished his introduction, everyone on the stage accommodated each other and walked down, then went to the front row seats and sat down.

Yang Xiaotao heard the host's introduction and found that not all of these people were biologists, but even a few chemists, physicists and mathematicians.

Obviously, this exchange meeting was not just hosted by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Perhaps, as Dean Deng said, this is really a grand event that has never been seen in China.

After introducing everyone, the venue began to get down to business.

The host took the microphone and began to introduce the first teacher to give a report.

"Now, with warm applause, we invite Teacher Wang Guangmei from the Shanghai Institute of Technology to come to the stage to speak."

"The topic he brought to us was the synthesis of artificial proteins."

As the voice fell, a person in the middle of the second row stood up, walked past others, and came to the podium.

Hearing this topic, Yang Xiaotao suddenly sat upright, because in another time and space, the country was the first to complete the feat of artificially synthesizing bovine insulin, which became a glorious moment for domestic synthetic biology.

And these people, if nothing else goes wrong, should make brilliant achievements in the field of synthetic biology.

Looking at the middle-aged man walking on stage, Yang Xiaotao was filled with respect.

Such people are the real experts.

Facing hundreds of people in the venue, the middle-aged man first bowed and thanked him, then calmly and calmly put the manuscript behind him and began to write and draw on the blackboard.

That look made him confident.
