Chapter 180: Borrowing the Lab, Refusing to Share (Part 2)
Jiang Fuyue naturally couldn't contact Shen Wenzhao.
He is one of the best biochemists in the country and one of the founders of modern biochemistry in China.
He was the first person in the world to try to use the method of partial hydrolysis by proteolytic enzymes to study the relationship between protein structure and function. He discovered that the properties of cytochrome C1 changed significantly before and after binding to mitochondria, proving that cytochrome B and succinate dehydrogenase are not the same substance. He also established a quantitative relationship formula and a graphical method for the chemical modification of essential groups of proteins and the loss of activity, and named it after his surname [1].
He has served as associate researcher, researcher, department director, and deputy director of the Institute of Biophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences[1]. He is currently the director of the State Key Laboratory of Biomacromolecules.
It can be said that Shen Wenzhao's contribution to the field of biochemistry is comparable to Xu Kaiqing's achievements in quantum physics.
Both are national treasures "Old Taishan" and are known as "the two mainstays of the Chinese scientific community."
How could Jiang Fuyue, an unknown high school student, contact the other party just like that?
Fortunately, Xu Kaiqing is here...
It is said that the two have been good friends for many years and have a deep friendship.
"Are you looking for Lao Shen?"
"Yes. I want to borrow the A1 laboratory." Jiang Fuyue stated his purpose.
Before this, she had learned about the laboratory through various channels. It was large, had a good environment, and was well-equipped. Most importantly, it was an interdisciplinary laboratory that integrated the disciplines of biochemistry and physics.
There is no other laboratory like this in the entire Q University.
Upon hearing this, Xu Kaiqing calmly turned off the quantum model thermal imager and stood up from the operating table.
Jiang Fuyue turned the yellow switch in front of the stage to safe mode.
He then pulled a clean handkerchief from the shelf and handed it to him.
And a sweet smile.
Well, it's an attitude of asking for help.
Xu Kaiqing took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and asked sourly, "Why do you want to borrow the biology department's lab? Is it because my physics major is not worthy of it?"
He misunderstood that Jiang Fuyue was interested in biology and was planning to find someone else, and even wanted him, a die-hard physics fan, to be her pimp?
Alas, Xu Kaiqing felt for the first time that it was not a good thing for a person to have too broad knowledge. It would be easy for him to be fickle. Before he could grow freely in the fertile soil of physics, he wanted to ride the waves in the ocean of biology?
Before, Yan Zhenfeng called Jiang Fuyue "flowery", but he didn't take it seriously. He thought that the ability of "sorrow" was so strong that it could defeat all subjects in seconds and dominate countless fields.
But at this moment, Xu Kaiqing wanted to complain from the bottom of his heart: My friend, you really are - too, extravagant!
When Jiang Fuyue heard the tone of the man opening the jar of aged vinegar and looked at the other party's expression that clearly showed dissatisfaction, she held her forehead helplessly.
It’s no wonder that Xu Kaiqing had the wrong idea. Strictly speaking, the A1 laboratory is a biological laboratory.
It just has the functions of chemical and physical research at the same time.
"You're overthinking it. I have a paper on the physical analysis of bacterial movement, and I need biochemical laboratory equipment to observe and record the data."
Xu Kaiqing was stunned: "Physics paper?"
Jiang Fuyue's mouth twitched: "What else?"
"Then come to my laboratory. I'll give you the highest level of authority and you can use the equipment however you want." With a wave of his hand, Old Xu at this moment brought the essence of a "local tycoon" to the extreme.
If his doctoral students were present, they would probably be shocked.
Is this still the same Mr. Xu who cried in front of the Academy of Sciences, the school, the foundation, and all the students about insufficient funds?
Sure enough, it’s not that I can’t win the heart of the old professor or the favor of the old national treasure, but that none of us are called "Jiang Fuyue" and we cannot monopolize the favor.
However, after finally being generous, the other party didn't appreciate it at all -
Jiang Fuyue: "Do you have bacterial culture dishes, biochemical signal sensors, or self-organizing pattern synthesizers?"
“…”
"Okay, I don't need any of these. Just get me a few electron microscopes first."
The nonchalant tone was as if saying, "Give me some cabbages."
"...I've made up my mind," Xu Kaiqing took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "I'll help you contact Old Shen."
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips: Haha, little brat.
…
Xu Kaiqing acted quickly and gave Jiang Fuyue a contact number in the afternoon.
"...Old Shen is currently attending an academic exchange meeting in H City and is not in the capital. This is his assistant's phone number. Please contact him to discuss the time and see how to arrange it."
"good."
Jiang Fuyue turned around and dialed the number. After just two words, the other party knew who she was. Obviously someone had greeted her in advance.
"...Well, Professor Shen has a student using this lab right now. It'll probably take another two weeks for it to be available. Do you think it's urgent?"
Half a month is definitely not enough, because the training camp will be over by then.
Jiang Fuyue tactfully explained the difficulty and then suggested, "...I heard that lab is large and can easily accommodate two research groups at the same time. I won't be leading a group, just one person, so it's even simpler. So...could I share it with Professor Shen's students? Of course, they have priority use of the equipment, and I won't argue with them."
"Oh, I see..." The person on the other end seemed a little embarrassed, but did not directly refuse.
Jiang Fuyue's tone became softer, "Is there any difficulty?"
Gentle and graceful, clear and cool.
When the other party heard this, his ears softened and his heart softened. "It's like this. Professor Shen's student doesn't like sharing the lab with others. I need to ask for his opinion before I can give you an answer."
Don't like sharing a lab?
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows. What's wrong with this?
If this is the case all the time, then in order to allow him to focus on scientific research, shouldn't we build a dedicated laboratory just for him?
I've seen people with quirks, but this is the first one who is so picky.
Although Jiang Fuyue was complaining in his heart, he responded with a friendly "OK".
People are under the eaves...
"What are you busy with recently?" Ling Xuan came out of the classroom, walked to Jiang Fuyue, and leaned on the railing with her shoulder to shoulder.
It’s just that... there’s a distance of two people between them.
Jiang Fuyue: "Something happened."
Ling Xuan didn't ask any more questions. "I have already finished the questions you gave me last time. There are a few things I don't quite understand..."
After the two became team members, Jiang Fuyue would occasionally share some questions with Ling Xuan for the sake of the group's overall performance, or perhaps out of obsession with getting full marks, and because Ling Xuan was so proactive.
Most of them are not competition questions, but focus on thinking training.
At first, Ling Xuan was skeptical, thinking that doing tests unrelated to the competition during the training camp seemed to miss the key points and was a waste of energy.
But after persisting for a period of time, he found that the depth and breadth of his thinking, as well as his ability to adapt, were far beyond what he had before.
When he solves the same problem now and before, his approach and considerations are completely different.
Only then did he understand why Jiang Fuyue always liked to read irrelevant extracurricular books, or do some questions that had nothing to do with the competition.
What she wanted to learn was far more than just a certain knowledge point or a solution, but a kind of thinking ability.
It feels like...
While everyone was concentrating on catching a fish, she had already secretly set her sights on the entire fish pond.
Ling Xuan seemed to understand where he lost.
"I read the analysis, but it's still a bit difficult..."
Half a year ago, Ling Xuan couldn't imagine that the word "difficult" would come out of his mouth.
Now I am quite calm.
He was just telling the truth, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
Jiang Fuyue didn't show any mockery at all. She just hummed softly, "Let's go in and talk."
"good."
The two entered the classroom.
Lin Shumo was sitting in his seat, and his eyes flashed slightly when he saw the two people coming in together.
…
Inside the A1 laboratory.
After Xie Dingyuan finished recording the 12th S bacterial culture data, he remembered that he had forgotten to eat lunch.
He took off his glasses, left the laboratory table, went into the living room next door, and opened the lunch box that his assistant had brought him two hours ago.
The food is cold.
He didn't care, broke off his chopsticks and started eating.
If Zhong Ziang were here, he would probably widen his eyes in horror. Is this still the uncle who has to calculate his salt intake precisely?
Suddenly, his cell phone rang...
"Hello."
“Professor Xie, sorry to bother you. I’m Xiao Xu, Professor Shen’s assistant.”
"What's up?"
"Well, there's a student from the Physics Department who wants to share the A1 lab with you. What do you think..."
The man's brows furrowed, and his tone was cold and hard: "I don't agree."
Oh no, thank you 99, your wife is gone.
Second update, 3,000 words.
Three o'clock in the morning, half past ten at night.
Note: [1] His achievements in real life refer to those of Professor Zou Chenglu (1923.5.17-2006.11.23). I will use them here. Please forgive me if there are any inappropriate parts. Please ignore them.
