On the rumbling plane? I took a good night's sleep, and after washing up, the passengers were compensated with a western meal.

The western food is quite pure. There are two appetizers, two soups and two main courses to choose from. Although the portions are not large, after the stewardess spreads the white tablecloth and distributes the shiny metal tableware, it looks decent.

Holding a short-handled table knife, Yang Rui was a little surprised. In his impression, screwdrivers and other items, not to mention metal knives, were not allowed on the plane, but he did not expect that the current plane is so open.

Song Wenhao didn't sleep well, with dark bags under his eyes, first ordered a glass of red wine from the stewardess and drank it, then saw that Yang Rui seemed to be in a daze, smiled, and asked: "Have you ever eaten Western food? Come, let me teach you, the most basic, The left-handed fork and the right-handed knife, in the words of foreigners, is to grasp the knife with your dominant hand, because you have to keep cutting..."

Song Wenhao is good at being a teacher, but Yang Rui is not good at not learning, so he followed suit for a while. However, there are only a few steps in Chinese Western food, and it is not as complicated as a primary school student's experiment. After Song Wenhao said a few words, he had nothing to say.

"It hasn't arrived yet, and the people sitting there are exhausted." Yang Rui quickly ended the conversation, and fed a small amount of food into his mouth by the way. Compared with the plane meal he remembered, the current taste seemed to be better.

Song Wenhao nodded yes, and said casually: "I guess we'll be here soon. I don't know where the delegation will book the hotel this time. If it's too far away, it will be hard work."

"Usually in front of the venue." Yang Rui was referring to the previous concept. When he followed his mentor to attend certain conferences in China, it was only natural to book a room nearby.

Song Wenhao smiled wryly: "We are short of funds. If the higher-ups feel that there is not enough money, then we can only find ways to save money. I heard from people who came last year that they lived in the suburbs and traveled by car for three hours every day. It was three or four hours, and I suffered a lot."

Yang Rui felt concerned: "It's fine for me to sit for three hours, but let an old professor in his 60s or 70s also take a car for six or seven hours a day? Then why are you attending meetings? You're so tired that you lay down."

"Who says it's not? There are a few people who are lucky. The organizing committee arranged a place nearby. For those like us, there is no choice. Hey...I would rather they save money and spend it on food."

"It is estimated that the cost of food is not high." Yang Rui is also a little worried, the hotel is far away, this is really hard to change.

At noon, the plane landed slowly.

Under the guidance of the stewardess, everyone adjusted their watches,

Then a neat line got off the plane one by one.

The team leader looked like a bald eagle, staring at everyone with vigilant eyes, and kept muttering: "Pay attention to the international influence, line up the team neatly, don't let foreign friends see the joke."

Yang Rui didn't have a choice, he stood neatly in the queue and filed out, and then walked through the airport hall like a monkey in a circus amidst the discussions, smiles and astonishment of international friends.

It is indeed a rare experience.

Comrade Song Wenhao was also a little upset, so he could only comfort himself: "At least a suit is for nothing, isn't it? If it weren't for international friends to see the unity and friendship of our people, you would want to get a suit with such a good fabric for nothing, why? possible."

Yang Rui looked down at the blue suit on his body. To be honest, this suit looks pretty good in China, because men are all gray in color, and the blue is bright and atmospheric.

However, standing at the New York airport, a group of people in neat blue suits looked a little silly.

Most of the domestic tailors have just reached the level of being able to make suits, and they have not yet had the ability to manage a fashion team. What's more, this team is still old and young, with different shapes and temperaments...

"Don't talk." The team leader looked back with a solemn face, lowered his voice, and said, "All follow my command, one two one, one two one... left and right, left and right..."

Everyone habitually adjusted their left and right legs, and after a while there was a neat sound of "dong dong dong", which was full of momentum and attracted the attention of more international friends.

Yang Rui could only follow left and right, left and right, and thought to himself: Just think of it as dedicating oneself to science and beeping the golden monkey...

After picking up the luggage, the space in the lobby is somewhat too small to use the "one-two-one" technique. At this time, the team leader stopped emphasizing the formation, let everyone gather, and began to allocate hotels: "As we all know, New York is an international metropolis. The price is very expensive. We chose two hotels for the purpose of saving money for the country and making it easier for everyone to travel. One is called the Sofitel Hotel. This hotel is about 15 minutes away from the venue by car..."

The crowd cheered involuntarily. It seemed that Comrade Song Wenhao was not the only one who was worried.

The team leader waved his hand: "Don't rush to be happy. The Sofitel Hotel was provided by the organizing committee. They only provided us with 8 cheap rooms in total. After our efforts, we got a total of 1 room, which can accommodate one person. For a while, The person whose name I call will stay at the Sofitel Hotel."

"What is the standard for staying in this hotel?" Someone immediately asked, and everyone knew that another hotel must not be as good as this one.

The team leader said with a wooden face: "The standard is determined by the organizing committee of the conference. It is based on the list of people who will participate in the opening ceremony on the first day, that is, the first report meeting. There are a total of 16 people from our side who will participate in this report meeting. Sixteen people will live in the rooms provided by the organizing committee, and the expenses will also be borne by the conference organizing committee. I think so about the two extra rooms we have won. We arrange for four people to stay, but these two rooms will be used as extra That is to say, those of us who come from another hotel will rest in these two rooms. I will read the list of sixteen people first, and after the reading, the remaining people are willing to live in these two rooms The person who raised his hand again, well, the first one is Professor Zhang Dayong; the second one is Professor Liu Huafeng... Please stand on my left if the professor whose name is called."

The team was scattered for a while, and then divided into two groups, one large and one small, and the leader read the professor one by one until the last one, saying: "Yang Rui...student."

The difference in this name alone is enough to make people look sideways.

A group of dozens of people all looked at Yang Rui in unison.

Before anyone questioned it, the team leader hurriedly said: "This standard is not set by us, it is the decision made by the organizing committee in the United States, because the number of our group has been compiled, so we can only invite sixteen people to come out and participate in the first competition. field report."

"It's just that we are not good enough." Someone said something strange naturally.

The team leader coughed and pretended not to hear.

The group with a large number of people looks at the group with a small number of people. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly scholars. Regardless of their level, their qualifications are not weak. The only exception is Yang Rui's "classmate".

Compared with other people, Yang Rui's power in the academic world couldn't be weaker. He didn't concurrently hold any position in any state power organization, and he wasn't even a real state cadre. Except for a laboratory, Yang Rui didn't have much power under his hands, and he The accumulation in academia is far from affecting the ability of anyone present.

So, someone yelled out without hesitation: "I don't care about others, how did this student Yang Rui get into the establishment of the organizing committee?"

"Professor Hu, let's keep our voice down and pay attention to international influence." The team leader repeated the key points, instead of directly answering the question, he looked at Yang Rui.

For him, it is obviously not cost-effective to protect Yang Rui from thunder.

Yang Rui also expected this to happen. After considering for two seconds between attacking and retreating, he chose the former and said, "I guess there may be two reasons."

"Oh? There are two more points?" Professor Hu saw that Yang Rui was explaining instead of being humble, and his expression was very impatient. He is already 20 years old, and he is extremely unwilling to be jolted by the car. It is even more unbalanced to see scholars who are younger than him get better treatment.

For other people, Professor Hu is not easy to offend in person, but for Yang Rui, Professor Hu doesn't care. He will be retiring in a blink of an eye. When he comes out this time, he has more benefits than work, and he doesn't worry about what Yang Rui can do to him.

Yang Rui was very familiar with this situation, and said frankly: "The first point, it may be that the paper I sent to the organizing committee played a role, and the other party thought it was valuable, so I was shortlisted."

Academic conferences are not like the Olympic Games. The larger the scale, the better. For example, in theoretical physics, a grand event on a global scale often has a scale of 30 to 50 people. There are a large number of scholars in biology, perhaps hundreds or thousands of times that of theoretical physics, but the scale will not expand without limit, especially for each report meeting, the organizing committee will not enter for more people, just Build a big lecture hall.

Normal academic conferences often rent as many lecture halls as possible, but there is no limit to the number of scholars who are willing to sign up.

In other words, if an international conference on biology can be attended by people, but the lecture hall can be filled with people, then the organizing committee will screen out the people and invite them to attend the first report—as for the second, third, and fourth reports Yes, the organizing committee doesn’t care, it’s all on a first-come, first-served basis.

This situation is usually due to the fact that the organizing committees of various international conferences are very poor, and everyone can't make the opening ceremony a little grander, so they can't live. On the other hand, it is not necessary. There are one or two hundred people listening to the academic report meeting. In the same way, participating in the meeting on the spot is nothing more than getting a chance to question someone face to face. If the academic level is not enough, it is meaningless to get this opportunity.

Secondly, except for the first report meeting, the subsequent report meetings will be held one after another or even side by side. Just like the "International Medical and Bioengineering Conference" that Yang Rui once participated in, only a few people are eligible for the much-anticipated solo report meeting Doing it is like a news broadcast, and other lectures are tantamount to competing with each other. The organizing committee builds a large lecture hall, which is useless except for the opening ceremony. For poor scholars, this is a Great waste.

However, being able to participate in a report meeting can still explain the status of a scholar.

Therefore, everyone refers to participating in the field report as being shortlisted.

Yang Rui was shortlisted, proving his status, so he took it easy.

Professor Hu's face was ugly, and he felt that he was being ridiculed. He couldn't help saying: "Talk to yourself, and return the other side's value to you. Your thesis is all about boasting."

"This is exactly the second point I said." Yang Rui was indeed sarcastic at this time, and his voice was soft and slightly soothing: "After all, I wrote a cel, the organizing committee probably thinks that I A paper like this is worthy of praise. Professor Hu, what do you think?"

Of course, it is impossible for Professor Hu to present ceLL. Given his age and qualifications, if he has presented ceLL, or a paper of a comparable level, not to mention being shortlisted for an international conference, at least three or five domestic senior titles will be on his head. If not, you can still get an academician.

In fact, Professor Hu, not to mention ceLL, in recent years, what he has done most is to run projects, and then write his name on the papers of his subordinates.

It is naturally easy to earn the labor force of young scholars, but the level of young scholars is often lacking. Most of the scholars who can present high-level papers are not young, and they will not give him a part-time job. Professor Hu himself does not write papers, but only relies on the young people under his command, which naturally lacks achievement.

Yang Rui's words almost hit Professor Hu's sore spot, causing his expression to become furious.

In front of many scholars, Professor Hu only felt that he had been humiliated, his face turned red, and his first thought was to rush up and beat people.

The team leader looked terrified, and also understood Yang Rui's character. He first strode up, stopped Professor Hu, persuaded him, and said to the others: "Get in the car first, everyone get in the car."

"Let go of me, I'm going to kill this kid, ceLL is amazing? ceLL is amazing." Professor Hu's voice was like a bell, showing a healthy physique.

Yang Rui sighed, but stood still, looked around, and said in front of many scholars: "I have to answer this, or I'm sorry for my colleagues in the laboratory. The table "ceLL" is actually quite remarkable. We A total of nearly 10,000 U.S. dollars was raised, and you should be able to imagine the difficulties involved. For half a year, under tremendous pressure, competing with laboratories including the University of California, Berkeley, and finally solved the problem of "how to determine We have worked very hard on the problem of potassium ion channel functionality. My colleagues, Huang Ren, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei Zhenxue, have all made great efforts. Our results are the best universities in the United States. Doubling the amount of money that didn’t come out, I think, is pretty remarkable.”

Yang Rui's tone was flat, but the content was full and passionate.

Scholars who have been immersed in academia for a lifetime, tasting Yang Rui's words in their minds, are all speechless.

The team leader held on to Professor Hu, who had red eyes, and kept repeating: "Pay attention to international influence, pay attention to international influence..."
