12 o'clock noon.

Yang Rui pinched the watch and announced, "Today's work time is up, everyone should go home and rest. There is Zhang Youchi, the way of civil and military, right?"

"Really rest?" Professor Man Hai looked at Yang Rui in a weird tone.

Yang Rui frowned, and said, "Of course it was really rest. Didn't I say yesterday? Everyone rested for a long time and recuperated. Death from overwork is not just for fun."

If there was any problem in the scientific community in the 1980s that was more serious than "the one who built missiles was not as good as the one who sold tea eggs," it was the problem of death from overwork. In Beijing academic institutions, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many middle-aged scholars die suddenly every year-in this era, there is actually no concept of death due to overwork, but the deaths are all researchers who are in the middle of life, which can explain the problem. .

When the ion channel laboratory just started research on "G protein coupled receptors", Yang Rui didn't care much about this issue. The 110-hour work system is a bit inhumane, but in the 1980s, it was really nothing.

The elementary school students in the 1980s had to attend 6 days of classes a week. The slightly better middle schools, even the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school, started to make up classes. They started their early self-study at 7 in the morning and the evening at 10 in the evening. Not in the minority. The university's research dogs are all learned along the way, and the university is even more tiring than usual.

However, when the production of bovine rhodopsin protein steadily increased, Yang Rui's sense of crisis was reduced a lot, and the requirements for the continuity and safety of the project increased implicitly.

This is like in the F1 race, when the number one vehicle is already far ahead of the second, the speed can be slightly reduced, and even pit stops to refuel and change tires are also an option that can be considered.

From Yang Rui's point of view, when he used "Sleepwalking Dafa", the difficulty of the first phase of the task had been reduced a lot.

"Conformation of G protein-coupled receptors" is naturally difficult to do from the front to the back, but to do it from the back to the front is nothing more than trial and error.

Trial and error naturally has costs and requirements, but the most important cost and requirements are actually an astonishing number of easy-to-use "G protein-coupled receptors". For ion channel laboratories, they use "Bull Vision". "Rhodophyll protein" is easy to use, and the quantity is sufficient.

Therefore, Yang Rui felt that it was time for the speed to slow down slightly, and he could even make a pit stop.

It is a pity that his thoughts at this time have not been recognized by everyone.

A group of researchers felt much heavier than him. Even if Yang Rui seriously announced a break, several people still dauntedly refused to leave.

"I'm done with a little more."

"I'll see if anything has been pulled down."

"My wife is not at home in the afternoon, I go back alone and panic."

Everyone has their own reasons, but they just don't want to move anyway.

It's a group of scientific research dogs, who do the hardest work on weekdays, and now they all have their tongues out, and they want to go but are embarrassed to go.

"I am going to lock the door of the laboratory. You have to rest if you don't take a break today. Go back, ah, go back." Yang Rui felt like a perverted boss, and drove people out of the experiment one by one. Room.

Several people stood at the door, still unwilling to leave. Man Hai said seriously: "Director Yang, we will follow you to study, just to get results. Rest is really not important. The current research progress is improving, I think It is more important to seize the opportunity, not for an afternoon’s rest, which results in a delay."

His words were very much approved by others, and several people nodded one after another.

Indeed, the few newly joined professors, whether it is Man Hai, Feng Junming or Tao Xuelin, are all able to succeed on the G-protein coupled receptor. There are a lot of things to give up, at least, They all put aside the temporary facial problems.

However, giving up face for the time being is not really not caring about face, but a temporary compromise to strive for greater face in the future.

In the final analysis, they are optimistic about the ion channel laboratory. They will voluntarily join the ion channel laboratory if they can achieve a certain degree of success in G-protein coupled receptors. For this goal, they can give up their temporary face, and of course they can give up. Take a short break.

The so-called suffering from hardship, the only way to be a master, this was a deeply rooted idea in the 1980s.

Yang Rui was scratching his head, not knowing what to say. To tell the truth, he couldn’t say whether the forced rest for a long time would have any effect, let alone a scientific basis, but he was clear. If he continued to speed up like this, nothing would happen today and tomorrow. Nothing will happen next month, but there will be problems after all.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui said: "I think the results you think are different from what I think."

"How do you tell?" A group of researchers settled on a posture to start a debate with Yang Rui.

"You are probably thinking about making persistent efforts to make the conformation of the transmembrane region of the G protein-coupled receptor, even if it has achieved results, right?" Yang Rui asked.

Man Hai was pushed by someone next to him and stood up inexplicably. He couldn't figure out Yang Rui's thoughts, so he had no choice but to say: "Director Yang, I have ideas in this regard. Of course, you want to continue doing this. , I also agree..."

The director of the laboratory is the person in charge of the laboratory and the biggest boss in the laboratory. Everyone understands the truth of not offending if you have time. Even though Man Hai is a professor at Peking University, after entering the ion channel laboratory, he still has the style of being a man with his tail clipped.

After all, Yang Rui's reputation has accumulated to the level it is today, and he has sat firmly in the position under his hips, and it is difficult to challenge.

Yang Rui is also accustomed to top-down speeches. He looked at the dozens of people around him, coughed lightly, and said, "I said when I started working on G protein-coupled receptors, Our goal is to make the three-dimensional structure of the G protein coupled receptor... Today, I solemnly emphasize that our goal is to make the three-dimensional structure of the G protein coupled receptor. The conformation is only the first of them. step."

The heavy breathing and the suppressed voice in the throat perfectly interpret the mood of everyone at the moment.

"Of course, I know that the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors is very difficult to make. It is very likely that it cannot be made. However, the judgment can be made and the time to make it is not now. It should be a year or two, or even three or four years, right?" Yang Rui is not going to spend a few years on the research of G protein coupled receptors, but it will take a few years for the scientific research community. Normality.

Even, spending decades of time is a very normal behavior in terms of basic scientific research.

When Yang Rui said this, he paused and said, "Actually, it is said that the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors is difficult to make, is it easy to make the transmembrane conformation? Someone can guarantee that in a few months, half a year, or Do you make a transmembrane conformation in one year?"

Everyone bowed their heads, silently.

Who dares to make this guarantee, worth half of the Nobel Prize, if anyone can guarantee that it will be made in half a year, there must be a problem with the intelligence-the possibility of being too strong exists, and even more likely is too stupid.

"So, let's take a break today, and we will do the same in the future. Let's take a break for at least two or three days a month. To ensure a sustainable research status, okay?" Yang Rui asked the child like a coax~www.mtlnovel. com~ Several researchers looked at each other and finally nodded.

Yang Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that political work is really difficult.

Turning around to lock the door, he heard Man Hai being pushed out again and asked: "Dr Yang, didn't you say a few days ago that the conformation is about to be done? You also said that there is a perfect plan..."

"I have a relatively complete theory, but I have the support of your experiments." Yang Rui laughed twice, throwing everyone out like a chicken, and then said: "All go back to take a bath or something. All of them are going to stinks. Well, if you can come to the laboratory later tomorrow, they will loosen their strings. The experiment will never be finished..."

Yang Rui took the posture of being a tuition teacher and sent the researchers out one by one.

The moment he left the gate, Yang Rui relaxed himself, looking up at the sky, feeling that the sky was bluer.

"Go back to sleep." Yang Rui patted Gu Qiang on the shoulder, exuding the breath of me having a big dream.
