In the field of scientific research, there is a superstition called the theorem that if you are unlucky, you will be unlucky to death, or the enhanced version of Murphy's theorem for short.

This kind of superstition often occurs in the following occasions: you think that the funds are barely enough to complete the project, then the funds must not be enough-the standard version of Murphy's theorem.

I was very worried that the project application would not pass, so the project application did not pass—the standard version of Murphy's theorem.

I finally passed the project several times in a row, and when I feel that I am unlucky, more unlucky things will happen-Murphy's Theorem Enhanced Version.

In the enhanced version of Murphy's Theorem, researchers in agriculture, forestry and biology are the hardest.

Take a doctoral student in fruit cultivation as an example: Oh, I was exhausted and finally passed the project. As long as I applied for the average funding, I could successfully complete the experiment, so the funding did not reach the average level... Oh, I was exhausted and finally passed The cost is saved, as long as the cutting branches develop normally, the next step can be carried out, so the cutting branches did not develop normally... Oh, I was exhausted and finally let the cutting branches develop, as long as I water and fertilize on time, The lovely fruit tree can bear fruit smoothly, so the lovely fruit tree did not bear fruit... Oh, I was so exhausted that I finally let the fruit tree bear fruit. As long as the fruit on the branch that has been cut grows normally, it can graduate...

So, on a sunny afternoon, a passer-by passed the campus experiment field, looked at the red fruits on the fruit trees in the fence, and suddenly remembered the story of a young man who moistened the soil. It is said that picking a melon to eat when thirsty is not considered stole...

As a result, PhD students in pomology were delayed by two years from graduation.

Biologists, although they are doing scientific things, but in the face of fate-determining subjects, many people still cannot avoid superstition—for example, Director Zhao of the Thermostable Polymerase Group.

After discovering the heat-stable polymerase was more difficult than expected, problems arose.

"Director, there is a problem with the purification..."

"Director, the raw materials are not enough..."

"Director, the refrigerator is broken, and the strains in it are all destroyed..."

The troubles followed one after another, and there was no time for Director Zhao to rest.

Exhausted until Thursday, when Director Zhao went to the meeting again, he couldn't help wearing a string of pendants carved with Manjushri Bodhisattva around his neck.

At the moment in 1985, there were still very few people wearing beads around their necks. In the past few years, these were counter-revolutionary crimes of wearing beads and strings, and few people dared to challenge them.

Of course, no one tells these stories now, but when Director Zhao wore this string of Manjushri pendants, it was really because he had no choice.

Compared with the meeting a week ago, this week's research meeting was much duller.

The stimulus brought by the Americans went with the wind, without any substantial help, but what was left behind was enormous pressure.

In this context, in fact, each group speeds up the progress naturally or unnaturally.

Until the progress is difficult to advance.

Director Zhao looked left and right, secretly screaming in his heart that something was wrong.

Immediately after the prelude to the high-sounding meeting, Director Zhao leaned forward, ready to speak.

At this time, Director Li said: "President Cha, our team has encountered difficulties, and there is really no way..."

Director Zhao turned his head in astonishment, and said that all the conversations are the same, is that okay?

Dean Zha was prepared, but he still rubbed the center of his brows, and said annoyedly: "How do I feel, you still have a way."

Lao Li is a veteran, and said with a playful smile: "There must be more solutions than difficulties, as long as the funds are sufficient."

Dean Zha put down his hands, and looked at Lao Li in surprise: "This month, you spent hundreds of thousands?"

He expected that the situation would start to get worse again, but he didn't expect it to get this bad, ****.

"It's only a few hundred thousand in total. Don't make hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The number is really big." Lao Li laughed. His mind is still relatively relaxed,

"Two hundred thousand is not much?" Dean Cha's eyes were bloodshot. Money is no more than political influence. If influence is used, it will not necessarily be less, but if money is used, it will definitely be less. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is not a particularly rich unit. These days, it is difficult to get along with units that cannot make money. It is even more difficult for a unit like the Chinese Academy of Sciences to spend money. Some research institutes are even on the verge of not being able to pay wages. .

It took a lot of hard work for Dean Zha to finally get the current funding. It was also because of Yang Rui's and PCR's research that he was able to make this investment.

Dean Zha never dreamed that Yang Rui would be missing, and the progress of various project teams would be seriously delayed.

"What about the other groups? How about the other groups?" Dean Cha wanted to hear good news to neutralize him.

The other four team leaders who wanted to rush to speak fell silent instantly.

Dean Cha's face turned cold, and he said, "Didn't the progress last week be very fast? Zhang Leshan, tell me."

He called the name directly, and he was also in a bad mood.

Zhang Leshan raised his head in astonishment, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Dean Zha, I'm in the ion channel laboratory of Peking University, and this... experiment is not going well."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's just...Because Peking University's ion channel laboratory has its own tasks, it can only second me staff for a short period of time. I asked them to coordinate, but they said that the director was not there. I asked Peking University to ask, but Dean Cai kept refusing." Zhang Leshan was also full of grievances.

Dean Cha frowned: "Didn't you encounter this problem before?"

"The previous experiments were not very difficult. You only need to borrow some instruments and buy some materials yourself to solve the problem. Now, I think one or two assistants may be needed." Zhang Leshan said euphemistically, because he couldn't do it by himself. .

Scientific research is like elementary school students doing handwork. It is not particularly difficult if you want to make something that is not bad, but it is not easy if you want to make a fine product, even if it is a small boat. If you want to stack the boat perfectly, you need to try it out.

When Zhang Leshan did research when he was young, he was also very serious and meticulous. But this time, maybe the temptation in front of him was too great, or his mind drifted from scientific research to politics. Zhang Leshan did not do it very carefully. If it was other experiments, This is nothing, but PCR-related research is very sophisticated, after all, it is DNA transcription and replication at the molecular level, a purely manual experiment, and if there is a slight mistake, it will have to be repeated.

Before Dean Zha could come up with a solution, the other two team leaders hurriedly complained. If they didn't hurry up and complained, what if they couldn't get any resources for themselves?

Several people looked at the leader eagerly.

Dean Zha once again realized the heavy burden of being a leader, and said with a wry smile: "After all, you all want money and things, so can't you give full play to your subjective initiative?"

"Dean, we have thought of all the ways we can think of."

Several people shouted in unison.

Dean Zha shook his head: "I have given out all the funds. It is useless for you to complain about suffering and tiredness now. If you want more, it is impossible."

Group leader Zhao gave up at first, and shouted: "Dean Cha, think of a way?"

"I can't help it." Dean Zha said: "The problem now is not just the problem of additional funds. If you can't produce any results, the expenditure of these funds will be a big problem."

Director Zhao was startled. His original intention in doing projects has always been for money, and making heat-resistant polymerase is no exception. Although he dare not be as greedy as before, taking away 10% is inevitable. things to do.

Director Zhao has always regarded such well-known things as gray income. However, if the superiors want to investigate, gray and black are two mouths.

When Director Zhao couldn't help calling out again, Zhang Leshan said first: "Let's find a way to contact Yang Rui."

He is still the deputy team leader, and he is the least cost-effective of the five people. Facing more and more difficult projects, he is the one who wants to find Yang Rui the most.

Dean Cha asked: "How can I contact Yang Rui?"

"Let's set up another project team." Zhang Leshan gritted his teeth: "Allocate the entire project team to Yang Rui, and find someone to negotiate with him. He might be satisfied."

"Give him one and a half of the six project teams?" Dean Cha himself shook his head without anyone else saying, "This is the end, Yang Rui won't be satisfied."

Although we haven't met each other, Dean Zha knows Yang Rui now. The previous anger gradually faded over time, leaving Dean Zha with more helplessness.

Zhang Leshan licked his lips and said, "Then give him a big project team. Our five groups will form a big project team, and we will give Yang Rui an independent big project team."

This is to demote all the people on his own side. After Zhang Leshan said this method, he shrank his shoulders and waited to be scolded.

Then, no one spoke for a long time.

"Let's try it." Director Zhao was not sure of making a result, and he didn't care about the name.

Lao Li nodded indifferently, because he wanted to save his heart.

Seeing this, Dean Zha couldn't help but think deeply. After a while, he said, "Then let the wind out. However, I don't think it's safe. Old Li."

"kindness?"

"I remember, you have a few friends from the Ministry of Public Security, can you ask them to help you find Yang Rui?" Dean Cha said in a low voice: "It's been almost two months, and Yang Rui is a young man again, it's impossible Hiding in the mouse hole and not coming out, I reckon that he must at least find a place to continue reading the literature, and it is impossible to completely escape."

"Okay, let me ask." Lao Li agreed, and then asked, "Will you provide funding?"

"Here, it will be reimbursed." This sentence is the most affirmative sentence that Dean Cha said today.
