In fact, there is no tense, sustainable scientific research competition. It is like no matter how strong the troops can not stop participating in siege wars, they must always be given a chance to repair.

The same is true for the laboratories participating in the world's top scientific research competitions. Although high-level laboratories have multiple groups to achieve rotation, they should be adjusted slightly between competitions or slowed down when they occupy the leading position. It is a more normal mode if it is stable.

Of course, the most common rest mode belongs to labs that are slightly behind. There is usually only one winner in scientific research competition. Therefore, laboratories that have fallen behind many times will often turn pioneering experiments into repetitive experiments when the pursuit is hopeless, so as to reduce costs, temporarily cultivate and wait for the next battle.

However, the risk of doing so is also obvious. If you lag behind in autonomy, then your competitiveness is reduced, and the initiative of the competition is in the hands of other laboratories.

If the leading laboratories postpone the publication of information and postpone the publication of papers, then they may unknowingly lose the second round of scientific research competitions, or even the third and fourth rounds. Such things have not happened. Over.

This is exactly what Yang Rui hopes to do.

Nowadays, the scientific research competition on g-protein coupled protein is in the ascendant, and the laboratories are still in a warm-up state. Yang Rui does not want to be surprised.

Now, it is the only time that the ion channel laboratory has an advantage.

If those well-known laboratories actually have a certain understanding of each other, it is not easy to postpone the publication of information or postpone the publication of the paper. At least, the other party can guess your progress. In addition, you can Learn about the situation through the instruments and equipment you buy.

The most direct information comes from the investor. Whether it is a government-invested project, a company consortium, a foundation, or even an individual funded project, some information must be announced, especially in developed countries, where there are considerable systems to ensure this. point.

In this way, starting a project that exceeds the original project schedule requirements, whether it is additional funds or the use of remaining funds, is traceable.

However, these usually belong to foreign laboratories, the first-class laboratories in developed countries, and not the third world laboratories.

Even if the ion channel laboratory needs to report any information to the research management department, foreign laboratories don't care.

Until now, no "foreign friends" knew that Yang Rui was going to release the giant satellite of g protein-coupled receptor.

Besides, satellites can't be released if you want to. Before proving himself, Yang Rui deliberately ran to release satellites, which may not have any effect.

However, the researchers at the ion channel laboratory did not have the slightest doubt.

At least in the domestic environment, Yang Rui is the most qualified candidate to be a g-protein coupled receptor.

And to say that no one in China can be a g-protein coupled receptor. If this is the case, no one wants to listen to it, and no one believes it.

In order to prove similar negative propositions, the Chinese do not know how much effort and sweat they have put in.

In the spring of 1986, the researchers of the Ion Channel Laboratory once again felt the urgent sense of mission.

"Fit the lid of the centrifuge."

"The 50ml test tube is not yet weighted? Don't you want to die? Do you know how powerful this thing is?"

"These are ultracentrifuge machines. If you throw the test tube out, you can smash the wall through and kill the two people next door."

Su Xiankai walked in small steps in the laboratory, tirelessly checking every step.

The first step of g protein-coupled receptors is to produce large amounts of bovine rhodopsin protein. The production and large quantities here are relative to the normal laboratory scale, but in terms of steps, it is not much less than the factory.

The most troublesome part here is that the production of bovine rhodopsin protein requires a low-temperature ultracentrifuge before it can be used.

The cryogenic ultracentrifuge... Before Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory was purchased, there was only one at Peking University.

As for now, in order to make g-protein coupled receptors, Yang Rui bought 6 units in one go, each of which cost more than 80,000 US dollars. The most expensive one is 150,000 US dollars, which is more than the net worth of many laboratories.

If it is not its own money or the funds of the ion channel laboratory itself, Peking University will not necessarily approve it. Not to mention forcible organization, forcible talks and delays are all possible. The value of superior leadership lies in the discord between your three views. When it comes to time, use power to suppress you.

But a low temperature ultracentrifuge is really needed.

Bovine rhodopsin protein is used for comparative research. It is equivalent to the basic resources of the entire experiment. The more quantity required, the better.

Without a large amount of bovine rhodopsin protein, Yang Rui's current project is impossible to start.

In fact, because foreign laboratories have discovered the connection between bovine rhodopsin and g protein-coupled receptors, Yang Rui decided to start this project.

This makes bovine rhodopsin protein become a basic material, and the more the better, the basic material that will be consumed as much as you do. Unfortunately, the processing of bovine rhodopsin protein is not a basic process...

Su Xiankai's early task was to understand bovine rhodopsin protein and to produce as much as possible as quickly as possible.

This is very boring and necessary work.

It's a bit like the production of uranium during the development of the atomic bomb.

Both research and production of atomic bombs require a large amount of uranium. It is said that atomic bombs are built on uranium production, and there is no problem. The heavy water reactor often mentioned in the North Korean nuclear issue refers to uranium production equipment.

However, what matters is important, but this work is not easy.

Unlike standard factory production, Su Xiankai needs to constantly adjust the parameters of various reagents, even experimental methods, just like doing real college entrance examination questions every day. That one got high scores.

He seems to be working on similar topics forever, but he always makes unexpected mistakes, which makes Su Xiankai anxious.

"How's it going." Yang Rui has also shown great concern for Su Xiankai's work in the past few days.

Su Xiankai knew why, shook his head lightly, and said: "I still need a while, the concentration of the recent solution is too low, I want to increase it a little bit, and then increase the speed of the centrifuge a bit, reducing the time..."

"It hasn't been a while." Yang Rui patted Su Xiankai on the shoulder and said, "Let’s start sending materials to Fan Zhenlong’s team today."

"No, how can I do it!" Su Xiankai hurriedly shook his head and said: "We have very few stocks now. Fan Zhenlong just started to make mistakes. Mistakes must be indispensable. It is a waste of material time. Wait for me to improve and accumulate more. stock……"

"Old Su~lightnovelpub.net~ Yang Rui shook his head and said: "Scientific research competition is the battlefield. It is never possible to be fully prepared. "

"I..." Su Xiankai opened his mouth and said, "What should I do if it breaks later?"

"I believe you." Yang Rui gave such a sentence.

Because, to be honest, Yang Rui doesn't know how to increase the quantity of bovine rhodopsin protein that meets the requirements.

He has a way to give directions, but what Su Xiankai needs now is not a direction. He wants specific experimental values, not just numerical values, but more experience accumulated from experiments.

This is something Yang Rui can't give. He only gives you the requirements and funding.

Su Xiankai's eyes were red, and he looked at Fan Zhenlong slantingly, and said, "You kid better not waste my efforts."

"I try my best." Fan Zhenlong's honest answer made his teeth itchy.
