Faculty committee members have the status of emperors in Chinese universities. Professor Cai walked all the way, and the students all voluntarily gave way, like sea water separated by Moses.

When he arrived in front of Yang Rui, Professor Cai's expression began to become lively. He first picked up a copy of "cell" and said "yes", then turned to the place, and said "yes" again, then he quickly read After finishing the index, Jia Li praised: "Excellent writing."

People from the Cultural and Propaganda Department followed Professor Cai, taking advantage of the time when Professor Cai was flipping through the book, snapping photos, with a serious look, like shooting a literary film.

Yang Rui also received a lot of attention from the photographer, and about one-third of the film was tilted on Yang Rui.

With the blessing of flashlights, the basketball court has also become more formal. Yang Rui said seriously: "Thank you Professor Cai, without the school's funding, without the moderate space given by the school, and the strong academic atmosphere, I would not be able to do what I am doing now." achievements. In addition, the 600,000 yuan funded by the department also played a big role.”

Dean Cai didn't care about such things as much as Dean Liu did. He smiled and said, "We are all an afterthought, what is 600,000 yuan, such projects and papers..."

He shook the "cell" in his hand and said, "I can't even buy it for 6 million yuan."

Of course you can’t buy it anymore. Yang Rui spent more than 600,000 dollars on the project. If someone else did it, such as the unlucky Professor Richard, he spent more than one million dollars just on the first stage. The U.S. dollar is stronger than more than ten million yuan.

Top journals need top papers, top papers need top projects, and top projects need top spending.

Standing at the height of the academic committee members, Professor Cai talked with Yang Rui about the topic of the top project, but it swayed the hearts of the students around him, especially the students of the non-biology department, who were even more curious.

The ethnology students said enviously: "You students can apply for hundreds of thousands of projects, and our professor only applies for a few thousand yuan for a project."

The biology students had the urge to show off, but none of them spoke.

A project of 600,000 yuan is a fantasy for them, and even a project of several thousand yuan is not something that students can apply for if they want to apply.

The school fund that Yang Rui applied for last year was only 2,000 yuan, and that was the result of having a thesis with a top prize bonus.

"Okay, don't hang around anymore, I'll take you to meet a few people, many people want to watch this issue of "Cell", Lao Liu, come together." Professor Cai hugged Yang Rui's shoulder affectionately,

Once again, like Moses, he parted the crowd and walked out of the basketball court.

Dean Liu asked people to take back the periodicals and booklets, and followed behind with a smile.

The other students could only look at the backs of Professor Cai and Yang Rui, wiping their saliva all the time.

The image of the members of the academic department is really too tall, so tall that the students need to look up to him, and Yang Rui, who is talking and laughing beside him, is more difficult for people to understand.

Everyone is a freshman in the first year of undergraduate studies. Although Yang Rui is the number one scholar in the country, who is weak here?

Even before the end of the first school year, the gap has widened to such a large extent, which is really unexpected.

As for the minds of teachers, it is complicated. The age gap of ten or twenty years, as well as the identity gap between teachers and students, originally gave them some psychological advantages in front of these heaven's favored children.

However, Yang Rui simply broke their psychological safety zone.

Genius has always been difficult to understand, and it is even more painful to compete with geniuses in the same field.

Thinking about the articles I have published, thinking about the projects I have done, and looking at the work completed by Yang Rui, many people feel uncomfortable—most people’s discomfort is aimed at themselves, the so-called shame and courage, Houyong is a physical effort, and knowing shame is purely unhappy.

Yang Rui, who was still wearing sportswear and sweating, drifted away, and the people who stayed in the basketball court slowly became active.

Especially students majoring in biological sciences are even more excited.

"I have known for a long time that our students at Peking University are not simple. I didn't expect that Yang Rui would jump up so early. I think we should organize an activity to learn from the students around us." Liu Anping, the class leader, gathered the class cadres together and discussed in a low voice. .

Bai Ling immediately raised her hand to agree, and said: "I think this suggestion is good. It's okay to follow the Youth League Committee to learn from Lei Feng. Why don't we do an activity to learn from Yang Rui and let the Youth League Committee follow us."

The squad leader's eyes lit up when he heard this. He is a person who likes political activities more than academic activities. If he can command the Youth League Committee as a freshman, it is not a big achievement. Liu Anping immediately said: "I agree, Yang Rui's success is very typical, and it is worth learning from the whole school."

"Is it too heavy to describe it as success? Besides, can he compare with Lei Feng?" Geng Jian has been obedient for a long time, but he still can't stand activities like "learning from Yang Rui".

Bai Ling glanced at Geng Jian and asked, "To be able to make world-class achievements, you can't use success to describe it. It must be because your success is too heavy."

Geng Jian wanted to refute as soon as he opened his mouth, but he raised his head, but bent his waist down. He did not dare.

Recently, whenever he had a conflict with someone at school, even if it was a mild conflict, Miao Sui would come to him in the name of a creditor and ask for money, twenty yuan, ten yuan or even five yuan and three yuan, Geng There is nothing to borrow, and he is worried that the other party will cause trouble, so he can only wash the dishes for the other party to pay off the debt.

Basically, once Geng Jian clashed with someone, depending on the scale of the conflict, he would have to wash the dishes for one to five nights. After so many times, Geng Jian was forced to settle down.

Now, he still owes Miao Sui more than 300 yuan, and the miracle is that as long as he keeps a low profile, Miao Sui will not come to him for money.

People with a little bit of IQ will understand that there is something tricky in it at this time. However, Geng Jian has been offending people constantly since he was in school, and he can't figure out who is looking for trouble for him.

In the past, when he was studying in his hometown, Geng Jian was the treasure of the whole school. Both the city education bureau and the county education bureau knew his name. Even if his personality was a bit annoying, it didn't matter. However, in Sijiu City, the situation is obviously very different.

At this time, Bai Ling's voice became louder, and Geng Jian couldn't get angry anymore.

Bai Ling didn't care about Geng Jian's comfort or discomfort. Seeing that he didn't object, she immediately said, "I can contact the youth league committee, monitor, and you can contact the student union. As long as one party agrees, I think it can be done."

"Okay, I don't think there should be a big problem. Let's work hard." Liu Anping became more excited when he thought about it. For him, if this is the first step in his personal political career, it is also a good choice.

...

Dean Cai took Yang Rui to the conference hall of the administration building.

Not long after, a group of professors from the Department of Biology came in talking and laughing. There are professors Tang Zhong, Wang Yong, and Lu Yueping who Yang Rui is familiar with, Cheng Shi, An Linhai and others who have met once or twice, and Dean Liu, Professor Fu and others who have just separated.

Just bringing such a group of busy people together is not an easy task. Yang Rui glanced at Professor Cai and thought, only the academic committee members are qualified to hold such a meeting temporarily.

However, even if you are a member of the academic department, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. Otherwise, everyone has their own projects, busy experiments and teaching tasks, and it is enough to apply for one or two occasional recruitments. No one can come immediately , swipe away.

Yang Rui, who was always immersed in excitement, his brain began to spin rapidly. This is obviously not a simple meeting.

Even if "Cell" was published, Professor Cai, a member of the academic department and dean, would have given enough face. If so many people were called to a meeting, there must be a meeting.

Or, just in time for the plenary meeting of the biology department?

Within a few seconds of this idea, it was pulled down by Professor Cai's action of handing out the booklet.

"Everyone should read Yang Rui's new paper." After Professor Cai finished speaking, he picked up the original "cell" and started to read it.

One minute.

two minutes.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

Twenty minutes passed, still no one spoke, and the meeting room where dozens of people gathered remained astonishingly silent.

Such a paper, if rough reading or skimming, only takes ten minutes or less.

In fact, half of the people do that when they get their papers.

This is almost a habit. For scholars who read a lot of literature every day, it is almost impossible to read every important paper. It is time-saving to read or browse first, and then decide whether to read carefully. necessary.

After ten minutes or ten minutes, the teacher who chose rough reading or browsing turned to the first page and reread it.

This is clearly a paper worthy of finesse.

Moreover, as a professor or associate professor of Peking University, the teachers present can see more information than ordinary people.

That is the struggle and embarrassment that is not written in the text, but flows between the lines.

Lack of money is not necessarily a lack of money, of course, a lack of money must be a lack of money, but in the research process, sufficient funds are only the most basic condition.

And on top of sufficient funds, there must be a smooth way to spend money, so as not to be in short supply.

In Yang Rui's thesis, the mutagenesis of Drosophila cells requires Drosophila. If you look at the reference materials in Europe and the United States, the best way is to buy parental Drosophila, and then cultivate it yourself with the help of professional equipment.

However, it is not so convenient to buy the desired fruit flies and professional equipment in China. Therefore, I cultivate not only the offspring fruit flies, but also need to determine the status of the parent fruit flies. Therefore, in Yang Rui’s references, Chinese Journal articles.

A similar situation is the various reagents required for cloning mutant genes. European and American researchers are accustomed to purchasing ready-made reagents from biological companies, just like domestic laboratories in later generations. This is the easiest way, and the properties of the reagents can be traced.

However, not all reagents are suitable for purchasing and transporting back to Beijing. If there are no reagents that must be used, Yang Rui has to synthesize them himself. The content of these selected reagents naturally does not need to be published in the main text, but in the column of references, papers on the synthesis of reagents are added.

This kind of poverty is not unique to China, it is a problem faced by researchers in all underdeveloped regions.

And the struggle exposed by Yang Rui is not a real struggle, but self-doubt before each choice.

In a world of scientific research where a single experiment may destroy several months of results, no matter how successful a scholar is, he cannot escape strong self-doubt.

In China, all great discoveries were made after hardship and struggle.

The teachers sat on the chairs tacitly, or looked at the papers in their hands, or those who read the papers!

This is a bit like the silence under the national flag. It has both external calm and inner agitation, more respect and self-respect, and pride of the same race.
