Chapter 727: Steady as Mount Tai
noon.
Professor Cai and Dean Liu stared at the winter sun and rode leisurely from Yanyuan to Tsinghua Park.
There are no tourism projects like university campus tours yet, so the university gates are open, and students can go in and out. Only a few people will be called to ask questions. Professor Cai and Dean Liu have been wearing old faces on campus for decades. Although they are from Peking University, they naturally have the sour smell of university teachers. The concierge took a look and let them go.
The two rode all the way to Yang Rui's temporary office, but General Iron held the door in front of the door.
"Look for Yang Rui?" The teacher who stretched his waist and legs nearby saw it, walked over and said, "Yang Rui went to Dongshan to play. He didn't come back when he was working hours. He had to go to the garden every noon. Why are you here so early?"
President Liu laughed and said, "We are not from Tsinghua University, and we don't know about this."
"Oh, no wonder, wait, why don't you come to my room to sit." The teacher said enthusiastically: "It's so cold outside. Come in and sit in. There are many people who have come to find Yang Rui recently. Nowadays, it's amazing."
"Many people from other schools come to Tsinghua University to find Yang Rui? He is not usually in the ion channel laboratory of Peking University?" Professor Cai found that the Tsinghua teacher with long arms and long legs was not from the biology department, so he didn't have to hide his face.
Tsinghua University first established a biology department, and the temporary office assigned to Yang Rui was naturally a matter of time. Tsinghua teacher with long arms was from the history department and did not understand natural science at all, but he said with honor: "Yang Rui is still a student at Peking University, and the ion channel laboratory is not hospitalized, right? So, I think the people who look for Yang Rui come to our Tsinghua University to find him."
After looking up and down, Professor Cai and Dean Liu, the teacher Tsinghua University with slender arms smiled and said, "It is said that Peking University is open. In my opinion, our Tsinghua University is also very open, maybe more open, don't you think it is."
"Tsinghua is pretty good." Professor Cai held the teacup he gave him, and he could only say that.
"It's the best in China." The history teacher with slender arms said with great honor: "We don't talk about the teaching itself, just the campus. Do you know that Yang Rui has at least two noons in a week and has been shopping in Tsinghua University for a month now, and he hasn't finished shopping yet.
The history teacher with slender arms pointed out the window and said, "For example, the Dongshan where Yang Rui went to today. Dongshan is near Chunyuan, and near Chunyuan is the western half of Xichun Garden. The eastern half of Xichun Garden was called Tsinghua Garden in the Qing Dynasty. Now Tsinghua includes both Tsinghua Garden and Near Chunyuan. What is the Dongshan Mountain? There is a lotus pond moonlight pavilion in Dongshan, which is where Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote about the moonlight of the lotus pond back then. Two years ago, in 1982, Tsinghua specially set up a pavilion in Dongshan to commemorate Zhu Ziqing's famous work "Lotus pond moonlight", Tsinghua specially set up a pavilion in Dongshan. In 1927, Tsinghua Garden did not have this lotus pond moonlight pavilion, but the lotus pond is very beautiful. This kind of plaque building halls with the name of the article is also very rare. For example, Peking University, they have money and Hu Shi, but they have no traces and are not in a good position."
Professor Cai was angry. He could see that the history teacher with long arms was an old cowshed. Not only did he not reshape his thoughts well, he spoke without saying anything. It was the best choice to ignore it, but it was related to Peking University's reputation. Professor Cai had to say more: "Don't promote Qian Mu and Hu Shi because of politics, not because of demeanor. The construction of the Moonseong Pavilion of the Hetang was not because of demeanor, but because of the reconstruction of the Spring Garden, which happened to be the same."
"Academics is academics, politics is politics. Qian Mu's generation of Chinese studies masters are the status of a master. He doesn't mention them in books now, which is heartbreaking..." The history teacher was already pity and hurt.
Professor Cai was too lazy to talk to him. Qian Mu was naturally a master, but he went to Hong Kong after 49 years and went to Taiwan many times, and was Chang Kaishen's guest of honor. Not to mention Hu Shi, he was the ambassador to the United States of the National Government during his anti-Japanese war, and then the dean of a Taiwanese researcher. How to promote the political environment after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Professor Cai is a natural science student and has never liked to be self-pitying and hurtful. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I'd better go out and wait for Yang Rui, the room is boring."
"Okay." Dean Liu didn't like this atmosphere even more, so he immediately pushed the door out.
The history teacher with long arms was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the two of them went out in a blink of an eye, he just shook his head: "These people are not patient..."
Not long after, Yang Rui and Xiao Baiya came back on their bicycles.
When they saw the two of them talking and laughing from afar, they arrived in front of them. Yang Rui saw Academician Cai and President Liu, and jumped down to say hello.
Xiao Baiya naturally took over Yang Rui's bicycle. She pushed one bicycle with one hand and arrived at the parking shed. She raised two bicycles at the same time, crossed the narrow bicycle fence, and gently placed it not far from the door.
Professor Cai and Dean Liu looked at each other silently for a moment, and turned their eyes tacitly.
"I'm here to see you "Genomics". Lao Liu said you wrote an English version. Do you want to publish it abroad?" Professor Cai asked when he met.
Professor Cai guessed that Yang Rui didn't need to hide it, so he said, "I have this idea, I'll put it in the room."
After opening the door and entering the room, Yang Rui handed over most of the "Genomics" written to Professor Cai, and then opened the stove to boil water.
The water was boiling, and Dean Liu sat next to him and drank tea, looked at his watch from time to time, chatted with Yang Rui, and was in a leisurely state.
But soon, Dean Liu couldn't get leisure.
"It's two o'clock." Dean Liu came to Professor Cai and reminded him gently.
"Look for a while, look for a while." Professor Cai rubbed his neck, looked at his watch, and said, "You call back and say I'll arrive later and let the laboratory do it first."
"Okay..." Dean Liu hesitated to call.
Then there was a long waiting time.
At three o'clock, after the scheduled return time had exceeded, Dean Liu reminded Professor Cai again.
Professor Cai had to look up and said, "I don't have enough time. Well, Yang Rui, you wrote very good English."
"But it's not enough to be published." Yang Rui shrugged: "I have changed it for a long time, at most it's only this level."
"Are you thinking about finding someone to help you polish it?"
"I plan to do it together after I finish writing."
"Yeah, that's fine. You need to find a high-level person. In addition, publishers should also consider it more. I heard that foreigners have many restrictions on contracts, so you should pay attention."
"yes."
"Don't be too anxious. Posting a book is not like publishing an article. Haste means not being able to make sense. The more solid you write, the better."
"yes."
The more Dean Liu listened, the more anxious he became. After saying so much, the two of them did not discuss the content. Shouldn’t they discuss the content first after publishing a book?
"Do you have any backups? I want to take some back and see." Professor Cai said while flipping through: "Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 10, and you will also give it to me first."
He was not in a hurry to ask for the previous chapter because the previous chapter was not too novel, but the novelty of the subsequent content was too excessive, so that Professor Cai felt relieved when he read it.
As a book, or a newly born science, genomics did not pop out of the stone in November 1984. It has a long development process, just like what Yang Rui involved in his lecture.
However, just like the birth process of any theory, the early development of genomics was slow, but as time went by, its development became faster and faster. Now, it is also the most critical period, and its core arguments have been exposed in scatteredly, while the remaining less than half is likely to explode instantly.
Many of the contents that Professor Cai saw were old content, not innovations. This is inevitable for large-scale integrated academic monographs, but the mechanism of combining them, this structure and organizational method, is completely new.
And behind the familiar text, complete innovation is even more thought-provoking.
"Old Liu, take me." Professor Cai took a copy of the three chapters of genomics and looked at it while walking. When he arrived at the parking shed, he still didn't want to put it down, so he simply sat on the back seat of Dean Liu's bicycle.
Dean Liu struggled to straighten the bicycle, and looked at Professor Cai who was sitting in a pine tree with worries. His feet couldn't help but feel a little weak, and said, "It will take 30 to 40 minutes to ride back like this."
"Don't hurry, ride more steadily." Academician Cai focused on the copy in his hand, and put half of his arm behind the seat, even if he was stable.
Dean Liu tried his best to pedal his bicycle.
On this day, in Tsinghua Park, which is known as the most beautiful, a middle-aged and elderly cadre appeared with a beautiful scenery of another middle-aged and elderly cadre.
Academician Cai didn't care about these things at all and sat as firm as Mount Tai.
Chapter completed!
