Study Monster Cultivation System - Chapter 363
Scientific research is also a carnival of chasing hot spots.
This is how Li Zheng talked with Zhou Yi and Shi Yang at lunch.
Outsiders don’t care, but for those in the biosphere, cryo electron microscopy has been a hot topic for many years.
With the Nobel Prize for cryoelectron microscopy three years ago, this hot spot has reached its peak.
In people’s words, the biggest feature of this technology is that it can easily and easily obtain three-dimensional holograms of macromolecular structures, so as to completely “eliminate” structural biology, just as a point and shoot camera has “wiped out” the old-fashioned film studio.
In front of this attractive technology, domestic colleges and universities immediately followed up the introduction of frozen electron microscopy. The initial feeling was as sacred as welcoming the “photolithography machine”. Whether or not to have its own frozen electron microscope has become a core indicator to measure whether the Institute of biology is top-level.
In recent years, with the decline in the price of cryo electron microscopy, this equipment is not so sacred, but it is still a big money burning guy.
The purchase cost of 5 million to tens of millions of yuan may not seem so exaggerated, but a device like this often needs to be equipped with several operation and maintenance personnel, and they are top-notch researchers who have mastered this technology.
Scientific research is not necessarily a matter of results, but the burning of money is everywhere in it.
Even Jida has only two such devices, one is a high-end version in the hospital, and the other is a relatively early ordinary version in the chemical hospital.
Because of its shortage, it is necessary to make an appointment before using it, and the appointment time is accurate to hours. If several groups make an appointment at the same time, then who will use it or not will depend on the subjective judgment of the big man in the hospital.
According to Zhou Yi, it is basically impossible for Li Zheng group to use the high-end freezing electron microscope of the hospital of health. There is still hope for him to apply for this one in person, but it will not last too long. Moreover, it must be used under the supervision and guidance of the operation and maintenance personnel.
Unintentionally, this also leads to a dilemma of domestic scientific research.
If you want to buy high-end equipment, you have to think of it.
It takes a lot of money to buy high-end equipment, but the total budget is limited. More money will be given to units with better achievements in the past.
Ordinary units have no money, they can not afford to buy equipment, can not produce results.
To come up with results, you have to buy high-end equipment
In addition to this cycle, the advantages of studying abroad are also shown.
In some developed countries, such equipment is not so expensive or scarce that it can be frequently contacted during postgraduate education.
On the contrary, even at Jida, most graduate students in related fields don’t even have a chance to take a long look at such equipment.
This layer of logic is like a doll, which connects with the dilemma of biochemical ring materials.
The top-notch biochemical graduate students who are skilled in using the technology of freezing electron microscope can’t find a job. Colleges and universities are scrambling to send the preparation.
But most of the rest, often with little chance to touch, are trapped in low-tech mechanical repeated experiments all day long, in the tedious and tired subject, gradually obliterate those ideals of changing the world.
In the dining room, Zhou Yi will inevitably lean against the back of his chair and sigh.
“Well, the situation is much better now. When the equipment was first introduced, in order to grab a researcher who had experience in using cryoelectron microscopy abroad, several universities in China wanted to give away their houses. Now it’s better to send a household registration…”
“Oh?” Shiyang’s hand suddenly stopped eating. After swallowing it down, he asked happily, “that old Zhou, if I mix up again, will there be a pile of colleges and universities to dig me?”
“In general.” Zhou Yi sighed with a smile, “you may think that if I say a few words, you can go and engage in cryo electron microscopy, but this feeling is one-sided. In fact, the reason why the project is so smooth and I support it so much is that you have already proved yourself in your study and proved that you are one of the top talents in a million. If you don’t have this level of understanding, you may not have such a chance to graduate. ”
“I believe that.” Shi Yang Chong Li Zheng nuzui way, “boss Zhou is really interesting, has always been, as long as I show enough, boss Zhou is willing to give any resources.”
Li Zheng immediately raised his cup of tea: “yes, I don’t know how to thank Mr. Zhou. Try to speak with the achievements.”
“Try your best.” Zhou Yi raised his glass and said with a smile, “although this topic is very interesting, I don’t really have much expectation. It’s good to have an experimental report that can be read. If you fail, don’t take it to heart. My requirement is just a little – don’t break the machine!”
“When it comes to machines…” Li Zheng sipped a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, eyebrows slightly wrinkled, “so expensive?”
Zhou Yi held out his hand and said: “there is no way. There are no domestic instruments, and they are unlikely to be available in five years. Most high-end instruments are in this situation.”
“What are the technical difficulties?” Li Zheng asked subconsciously.”This is not my major any more. The teachers of the Institute of physics and engineering should know something about it.” Zhou Yi waved his fingers and said, “do one thing well and think about the next. Don’t come with me. Da Vinci doesn’t work in the manufacture of these sophisticated instruments. Give me a good experiment and don’t make a fool of yourself.”
“Yes, it is. It’s pure curiosity.” Li Zheng laughed.
If he had not been identified as a user barrier by the magic learning system, he would have opened the engineering interface to study it.
……
On the other hand, Professor Zhou Xiao, who was very interested in Li Zheng’s group’s project, also went directly to the student’s college and found his old classmates who used to be class teachers together.
After Zhou Xiao explained the situation, the old classmate put down his chopsticks and explained with Zhou Xiao.
“Zhou’er, this is how you do this…”
“If you want to push it down, it’s not about the process.”
“Yes, there must be a heavyweight on the platform.”
“Either you, Dean Niu Gang, go straight to our dean.”
“Or we can persuade Professor Bing of our college to make her work hard.”
“Scientific research is like this. In the end, it’s a competition for resources between several big bosses.”
“And cryo electron microscopy is the most popular resource in our hospital of health.”
“Zhang Shandong’s judgment is right. There’s nothing wrong with it. Let’s not get involved in it.”
“In particular, if a few undergraduates make a fool of themselves and make some accidents or equipment damage, we should be punished, not the students.”
“You listen to me. Don’t worry about it. It’s useless.”
Zhou Xiao heard that in the end, the food didn’t taste, so he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
“I just feel This project is really carried out. ”
“And Li Zheng’s level can not be measured by ordinary people’s level.”
“To say the least, he can feel the tens of billions of Yellow River No. 2, but he can’t touch tens of millions of electron microscopy?”
“On this point, the recommendation letter from the old aerospace company is very illustrative.”
“How much is a letter of recommendation worth?” The old classmate laughed and said, “what’s the matter? What’s wrong? The people who pull their space system to take responsibility?”
“Li Zheng’s level will not happen.”
“Are you sure?”
“I dare.”
“Good, good, even if you dare, and the leadership letter, give you a chance to take responsibility, but even if there is no accident, then what?” The old classmate clapped his hands and said, “don’t count the purchase price. Do you know the maintenance cost of such a frozen electron microscope?”
“How much?”
“I don’t know, but I just look at the lineup of operation and maintenance and the consumables that come in and go out. At least they have to eat tens of thousands a day. Li Zheng and his colleagues have taken up the resources. Let alone how much money they spent in vain, how can we calculate the time spent on other subjects? Who doesn’t race against the clock? Who doesn’t have a big boss platform behind
“……”
“Be mature, Zhou Er.” The old classmate patted Zhou Xiao and said, “I know you really agree with that idea when you go to teach in yingpei, and you really want to make a name for yourself, but we can’t do it by ourselves. It’s not like flying moths to the fire.”
“What’s the danger? It’s not so evil. ” Zhou Xiaoqiang chuckled away his old classmate. “It’s my duty to serve the students. I didn’t think I’d do much. I just felt that Zhang Shandong should at least reflect the situation to Mr. Niu. We are not qualified to judge this level of subject, and we should give it to the dean.”
“Oh.” The old classmate waved his hand and laughed, “I don’t know what President Niu’s reaction is. Anyway, if you do this, Zhang Shandong can’t hate you. Besides, if you do something good, Dean Niu already knows about it. He just pretends not to know.”
“Why pretend not to know?” Zhou Xiao asked incomprehensibly, “we Dean Niu is not that kind of person!”
“Alas…” The old classmate shook his head and stood up, “you are not too young, you are short of root and tendon…”
Zhou Xiao got up and said, “no We are teachers. Do you make things complicated? ”
“It’s very simple, the talent is complex, where there are people, it’s not about identity and work.” The old classmate picked up the plate, nodded and said with a smile, “but you have always been this kind of ungrateful virtue. Let it be. I’m just a greasy experience, not necessarily right.”
The old classmate left, Zhou Xiao stood in the bustling canteen, his thoughts like those leftovers become a mess.
He wanted to know something about the situation, and then went to Mr. Niu to report.
But now, he’s starting to be uncertain.
Confused, the phone rings.
“Hello…”
“Yes, the canteen, director Zhang.”
“On business?”
“Oh OK, no problem. ”
“OK, I’ll find him right away…”
Put down the phone, Zhou Xiao sighed, repeatedly revised the wording for a long time, then sent a message out.[Li Zheng, I’m Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao at the inquiry. 】
[I have asked the Biology College, and it is difficult to obtain the equipment conditions. 】
[I also suggest that you start some projects with relatively low resource requirements. 】
[if you have to insist, you can only use your personal resources. 】
[I’ve been on a business trip for two months recently. I can find any questions, whether it’s persistence or new questions. 】
after sending, Li Zheng sent back his mobile phone before he could put it away.
Thank you, Mr. Zhou. You are right. I have my way. You don’t have to be sorry. 】You must be a good teacher. 】
[Li Zheng. 】
seeing this reply, Zhou Xiao finally squeezed out a smile.
It is about this sentence that I stayed in school.
……
Zhou Yi, not only looks like a Wangzai, but also works very well. In only three days, he has decided on the experiment.
From September 8, a week time, 7-11 o’clock every night, 4 hours of right to use, plus a number of consumables.
Only 28 hours a week, no doubt far from the 45 days he initially judged, but according to his intention, as long as the experiment goes smoothly and even a little bit of output is revealed, he can continue to apply.
Li Zheng, of course, was very grateful and prepared for the experiment in all possible ways.
The science marginal group then entered the preparation stage.
It’s like a group of people who want to drive a car but can’t afford it. They have only one chance to prove to Ferrari that they can do it.
So, before the test drive, they took every means to simulate driving.
Just like memorizing every turn of the track, hard back every experimental link.
Just like learning the experience of excellent drivers, we can learn from every experimental paper and extremely limited video at home and abroad.
In the end, even Lin Moming cried out —
“no one knows more about cryoelectron microscopy than I do!”
The reason for really shouting out, mainly to vent.
For a few days, she was in the basement discussion room, was translated by Li Zheng according to the translation document, has been translated vomit!
The main reason is that Mo Nian’s English level is too poor, because of the escort, his English is still junior high school level.
In this frontier field, as the main experimental force, it is impossible to be competent without gnawing English materials.
Why?
Because even the top papers in China are only in English.
In this endless translation work, even Lin Mo Ming has completely understood this thing.
This is also a disguised science study. The growth of Xiao Lin’s academic ability can be seen with the naked eye.
As for the leader, he has also been developed with more magical functions.
That’s the assembly simulator.
According to these legends of the cryo electron microscope, he searched around for materials and built a set of similar simulation equipment in the basement, even liquid nitrogen.
After a lot of hard work, we finally got to September 8.
As the sky darkens, the marginal members of science wake up one by one.
I can’t help it. It’s only four hours in the evening.
Only by sleeping enough during the day, can we give full play to it in this limited time.
18: 40 at the gate of the chemical hospital.
A lonely fat house has been waiting for a long time.
Shi Yang is waiting here. I wanted to be forced.
But when he saw Lin Mo Ming, he was all bad.
“Whose? No matter what, you can’t bring the children here
Lin Mo Ming is full of hostility to stare at the past, said her this period of time to vent the catchphrase: “no one knows more than I do freezing electron microscope!”
After an explanation, Shi Yang quickly returned to his original state.
Is afraid to speak, the face completely red like Wangwang, at the same time, constantly peeking.
When I was nervous, I went to the toilet.
Fortunately, at 18:58, I went back to the door of the cryoelectron microscope laboratory in time.
Here, a group of six, ready to go.
Although the heart was beating wildly, it was still under control.
No one knows cryoelectron microscopy better than them, even though they have never seen them before.
This is not a complicated small experiment, has been quietly honed for hundreds of hours.
Especially Mo Nian.
He was doing experiments in his dreams and dreaming when he was awake.
For the first time, the cultivation of the power of meditation has found such a breakthrough.
Looking at such people, Li Zheng finally glared.
“No more honking, damn it!”
