Chapter 596: Saying You Didn't Do the Experiment! (Two chapters combined)
Gu Yin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the time. It was already past midnight: "The S magazine has published it?"
Chu Yan was holding a recently published magazine: "That's right! The medical and biological communities in the United States are buzzing about it! You'll be a celebrity soon! News should get back to China by dawn, so you should be prepared."
The people back home have been waiting for this for a long time. Although the internet is quite powerful now, it's not as developed as it was in the year she passed away. So Gu Yin didn't feel anything special. It was just that the school and some research institutes would pay attention. However, this time, because of the vaccine and the country's involvement, it should spread widely. Of course, she didn't need to bother with these things; the higher-ups would just make the arrangements.
"How's your thesis coming along?" Chu Yan was graduating early, and their teacher had assigned them a battlefield in the war zone, tasking them with economic warfare. After working for more than half a year, they finally finished in early October, revitalizing the local economy and finding a way forward for the war zone. Now they were preparing their thesis.
"It's almost done. Your coming-of-age ceremony will definitely be in time!" The most important thing has been accomplished. Now it's just a matter of summarizing the experience so that future generations can learn from it.
Yes, their graduation project was so outstanding that it has been recorded in the university's database and will be included in the latest textbooks as a case study.
At the University of Florida, only professors, renowned businessmen, or geniuses appear in textbooks, such as the father of software and Zhou Wansheng, the self-made shipping magnate.
However, wealthy individuals like Chu Xiong, who come from families with a strong academic background, have no chance of appearing in the teaching materials of the Buddhist University. This is because their path to success is either due to family reasons or conventional business development. They are neither the most outstanding nor the most excellent. There are many such people in the world, so it is not surprising.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
Gu Yin couldn't sleep either, so she got up and turned on her computer. Sure enough, she received an email from S magazine saying that her paper had been published and that she should remember to check it. The magazine had also been mailed to her, and she should keep an eye on it.
After replying to the message, Gu Yin turned off her phone and went back to sleep.
When Gu Yin woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock. After washing up, she came out and saw Meng Yu chatting with the old lady in the living room.
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, what brings you here?"
Meng Yu sighed helplessly, "Such big news, only you could sleep! I called you this morning, but your phone was off. I couldn't sit still, so I came over! So, have you replied to the email yet?"
Gu Yin nodded as she turned on her phone: "I already replied around midnight last night."
Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! The principal knows about this too, and knows I'm at your house, so he asked me to take you back to school."
Gu Yin nodded: "I'll go after breakfast."
As soon as the phone was turned on, it started ringing incessantly.
Gu Yin glanced at the messages; they were all from people in the lab, her second senior brother, and colleagues at the base. She quickly replied to a few of them.
After breakfast, the two returned to school.
In the principal's office.
The principal looked at the people around him and sneered, "When Gu Yin was recruiting, I specifically sent you a message. You came, but you looked down on her and left the meeting without even letting her finish speaking. Now that you know she has accomplished such an important experiment and that she has been published in S Journal, you all came here! Hmph! You are very well-informed! You have the nerve to ask during the New Year, but I don't have the nerve to say anything!"
The men blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to.
"It wasn't the principal who knew that Gu Yin was so amazing! She's so young, it's no wonder we didn't believe her! Now that we know how amazing she is, it's only natural that we applied to join her research team."
"Exactly! Their team only has five people. Besides Professor Fang, the other four are all students. What can they possibly do?"
The principal raised an eyebrow at the man: "Gu Yin is also a student. What, do you look down on students?"
The man hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant! Look, their experiment has only been going on for a year, and they probably haven't even officially gotten to the main topic yet! With us joining, wouldn't the speed be much faster? We're doing this for Gu Yin's own good. What kind of impact can those few students possibly have?"
"I agree."
“I agree, Principal. You should talk to Gu Yin and we old guys will go and help too.”
The principal waved his hand: "Alright, alright, you can go now. You said it before, withdrawing means you didn't want to! Once you withdraw, there's no going back! I tried to persuade you, but you didn't want to. Alright, alright, I'm busy here, you can go now."
As soon as Gu Yin and Meng Yu reached the principal's office door, they saw a group of people coming out.
Gu Yin moved aside to let these people leave first.
"Oh my, this must be Gu Yin! Hello, hello! I heard your paper was published in S journal, right? Congratulations!"
"What a promising young man!"
"Indeed impressive! I remember Gu Yin was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination. Tsk tsk, she truly lives up to her reputation!"
"If Gu hadn't already become a student of Master Cheng, I would definitely have been the first to snatch him back as my student!"
Gu Yin blinked, smiled and nodded, "Thank you, professors, please go ahead." She then moved aside to make way for the doorway.
Everyone: "..." He's really stubborn!
"Gu Yin, come in!"
The principal's voice came from inside. Gu Yin nodded to the professors and went in first, feeling embarrassed.
Meng Yu glanced at them, smiled, said nothing, pointed inside, and followed them in.
The crowd looked at each other, and finally stopped at the doorway.
Seeing this, the principal didn't shoo them away, but instead looked at Gu Yin and said with a smile, "We already know about your thesis. Congratulations on going global! Gaining recognition from the medical and biological communities! On behalf of the patients, we also thank you for your dedication and hard work! You are the pride of our school, and even our country! Congratulations, Gu Yin!"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, Principal. As researchers, it's only right that we achieve results."
Seeing that she was neither arrogant nor impatient, the principal nodded in satisfaction: "The main reason I called you over is because, based on past experience, there will definitely be some people or scholars from abroad who come here under the guise of studying with you, but in reality, some of them are here with ill intentions to cause trouble. What do you think about this? After Professor Cheng published his paper in the past, some people came over, especially foreigners who don't get along with our country."
Gu Yin frowned: "If they come, do I have to accompany them? How long will this study session last?"
"Of course you have to stay with them. After all, they're here to ask questions about your experiments. Who will answer them if you're not there? As for the timeframe, it usually takes about two weeks."
Gu Yin closed her eyes briefly: "Then don't come. I don't have time. My experiment has reached a critical point, and I don't have time for their hypocritical exchanges."
The people at the door perked up and immediately stepped forward: "Your second experiment has reached a critical stage??"
"So fast? Has there been any progress?"
Gu Yin nodded: "Yes."
"Oh My God!"
"Gu Yin, do you need anyone? I can do anything!"
"Are you still hiring odd jobs? I love doing odd jobs! I'm really good at it! Even the sterilization machine isn't as meticulous as me!"
Everyone: "..." Have you two no shame? How could you say something like that? But then they thought about that research project! Ah!! They wanted to join too!!
Gu Yin shook her head: "The lab is not short of people, and we don't need any more odd jobs."
The group became anxious: "How could we not need them? Every lab team needs at least seven people, and important experiments require at least a dozen! You only have five people! It's a mismatch! Trust us, we can be a great help!"
Gu Yin sighed, "I would have told you if we needed more people, but we really don't. Sorry." What were you doing back then? The results are almost out now, what's the point of coming here?
Gu Yin ignored them and looked at the principal again, saying, "If someone really comes, Principal, please find a spokesperson. I really don't have time. I'm busy working late into the night right now, so how can I have that much time to talk to them? If they really want to talk, they can wait until I have time and let me know. Those who really want to talk will respect my decision. Those who have other intentions will definitely not listen, and then there's no need to talk to them!"
The principal, considering the importance of Gu Yin's second experiment, nodded: "Then we'll do as you say!" Those people are nothing compared to the experiment!
"By the way, you should also prepare yourself. You might get interviewed by reporters. Just refuse some of the unnecessary ones. For the more important ones, like Channel 1, just accept one."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "We'll talk about it later, if I happen to have some free time." The experiment was currently in a crucial phase, and she genuinely didn't have the time.
After leaving the principal's office, Gu Yin returned to her office and checked on the mice. She found they were all alive and well. She then looked at the data recorded by Du Kai and the others. Different dosages of medicine resulted in different progress and different results.
"I'll observe for a few more days, and if there are no problems, I'll apply for clinical trials."
Zhao Qingqing nodded vigorously: "No problem, boss!"
The phone rang, and Gu Yin saw that it was the pharmaceutical factory manager calling. She answered, "Manager."
"Comrade Gu, I've seen the news, and those at higher levels have seen it too. The advertisements have been rolled out across the board—newspapers, the internet, television, and advertising screens in various buildings—all are running in a synchronized loop! Take a look when you have time!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin immediately said, "You should have the people above keep a close eye on public opinion after the advertisement, just in case some outsiders stir up trouble."
Upon hearing this, the factory manager immediately replied, "Okay! I'll tell the higher-ups right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin called Tie Mao and asked him to keep an eye on the internet and let her know if there were any unusual things online.
Gu Yin turned on her computer, and all she saw were news headlines like "Gu Yin, a student in the Biology Department of Qingdao University, has developed a vaccine to eradicate shingles."
S magazine was very responsible; in addition to publishing her paper, they also wrote in detail about the significance of Gu Yin's experiment and its great progress in medicine and biology.
This means that when ordinary people see this journal, they already know what it means.
The internet immediately erupted in excitement, with Chinese people praising and congratulating the winners, while people abroad expressed disbelief, skepticism, and curiosity.
After reading it, Gu Yin continued working on her experiments.
In the evening, when Gu Yin came out of the laboratory and was about to go home for dinner, she received a call from Tie Mao.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yin asked as she walked.
"Boss! A group of people have suddenly appeared online, suspecting that you didn't build this lab, saying that you stole other people's achievements! Your background information has been exposed! Now many people can't believe that someone who is not even a minor could do such a thing, and they are demanding that Qingdao University thoroughly investigate this matter, and even demanding that the state send special personnel to Qingdao University to conduct a thorough investigation!"
