Director Mei kept stomping on the bed for a night, slept in a daze for several hours, and got up before dawn.

Sitting in the living room and drinking a large cup of tea, then looking at the watch, it was still less than six o'clock, which made Director Mei even more anxious.

"Can't sleep? Did you drink too much yesterday?" Mrs. Mei rubbed her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, drank two sips of Director Mei's strong tea, and washed up.

Director Mei coughed and said, "Wake you up?"

"Anyway, I'm about to go to work." Mrs. Mei turned around and asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

"Yang Rui's side... is the laboratory for embryo transfer, and I'm a little worried." Director Mei was not only worried, but his head was about to explode.

Mrs. Mei has seen similar scenes more than once. She smiled without surprise and said, "It was not very smooth some time ago. You are still going to see it every day, why are you worried again?"

Director Mei thought about it and said everything he heard yesterday. He felt a little relaxed, and then said: "I didn't know that embryo transfer was so difficult before. If I had known it before..."

"If I had known you would have stopped doing it?" Mrs. May interrupted him.

Director Mei opened his mouth and shook his head, "The more difficult it is, the more you have to do it, and you have to do it early. Alas..."

"Isn't that all, why are you worried? Okay, I want to eat something, I'll make breakfast."

"Just drink something casually." Director Mei said, sighing again, and said, "I originally thought that I would see the research results in the next two years."

"What did Yang Rui say?" Mrs. Mei often heard him say names, and she remembered them deeply.

Director Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "He is quite confident."

"Is he not confident?"

"Good, good, that's..."

"You have no confidence?"

"How can there be? According to their statement, Yang Rui's laboratory must be among the top ten in the world before the embryo can be transplanted." Director Mei picked up the teacup and took a few sips, stood up, and said, "It's not that I'm destroying my own prestige, but this is the situation in China. Compared with foreigners, we can't compare."

After Mrs. Mei finished washing up, she returned to the living room, looked at her husband and smiled, and said, "In my impression, isn't Yang Rui very powerful?"

"It's really amazing."

"Not that powerful enough to be the top ten in the world?"

"The top ten in the world..." Director Mei stood up and suddenly stood still.

"What's wrong?"

"What you want to say is Yang Rui's research is among the top ten in the world." Director Mei said, his voice lowered a lot, saying, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to him."

Mrs. Mei was a little surprised and said, "It's really the top ten in the world?"

"As far as I know, the ion channel research and PCR he did are all world's cutting-edge technologies. It is hard to say that the level of the top ten is hard to say. In short, it is the most powerful one in China in the past two years." Director Mei paused for a moment and said, "However, he is a newbie in animal husbandry."

Mrs. Mei listened without understanding and started working in the kitchen.

She is used to making noodles in the morning. If time is tight, she will make simple noodle soup such as egg noodles. Today she has plenty of time. She has a handful of noodles and starts cutting beef, radish, potatoes, etc., and prepares to make beef sauce noodles.

Looking back at her anxious husband, Mrs. Mei took out a bowl of frozen chicken soup from the refrigerator and poured it into another pot to heat it. She was used to freezing the roasted soup in bowls. When there were only two people at home, a bowl of chicken soup would be very useful.

Director Mei Xilihulu ate two bowls of noodles, was excited and suddenly said, "I have to support Yang Rui."

Mrs. Mei's "happiness" sounded, and she was considered to be a cooperation.

Director Mei said to himself: "Just going to his laboratory, we can only express our importance and support."

"kindness."

"How do you say I'm going to express my support?"

"kindness."

Director Mei thought about it all the way.

When we arrived at Yang Rui's laboratory, Director Mei personally carried a sack.

"Director Yang...Director Yang, I'll give you something." Director Mei entered the laboratory and shouted in the empty laboratory.

"What?" Rui wiped his hands and walked over.

"Beef! The best beef brisket, plus a tenderloin." Director Mei opened the sack and looked at Yang Rui, saying, "Did you see it? The six-cent fat beef brisket was picked out from the 800 kilograms of big yellow beef. I just slaughtered this morning. Don't say that foreign beef steak is pretty good, but if you want to talk about beef brisket, you have to count our Chinese scalpers."

Yang Rui's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad."

Unlike 30 years later, in terms of 1985, it is difficult to buy beef and even more difficult to buy beef brisket. When everyone picks up fat meat to buy, the competitiveness of fat beef is so strong that it is difficult for Yang Rui to buy from the beef stall owner he chose.

Of course, there are even less good beef brisket.

When Director Mei saw Yang Rui happy, he was also very happy and said, "I brought a total of 100 kilograms of beef here. I will give you a pack here separately. You can distribute the rest."

"It's not good to eat alone." Yang Rui was still greedy, but he was still in control.

The researcher Sun Zhengchu, who was behind, had been staring at the beef for a long time. When he heard that he had a portion, he immediately expressed his feelings and said, "Director Yang has worked hard recently. Just take yours and we can share the rest."

"I can't finish so much, just cut one piece." Yang Rui looked desperate and gave up his love.

Director Mei took advantage of everyone's happiness and asked, "How are you doing now?"

"It's normal progress. By the way, does Director Mei know the editors of the journal?" Yang Rui has always disliked talking about progress. No laboratory director likes to talk about progress because there are too many variables.

Today is a rare situation.

Director Mei nodded immediately and said, "We Chinese Animal Husbandry have our own journal."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I mean, a better journal."

Director Mei suddenly coughed twice.

Immediately, Director Mei woke up again: "Are you going to write a paper? The project is completed?"

"No. However, I plan to ask everyone to write a few papers first." Yang Rui replied.

"Write the paper before the project is completed?" Director Mei is not a bureaucrat who doesn't understand anything.

The project is not over, and writing papers is not common in any research institute.

Of course, there is no such priority for a worthless project. Anyway, a broken project with hundreds or thousands of dollars in funding is a paper. There is no difference between writing a paper before the project starts, writing a paper at the beginning of the project, or writing a paper at the end of the project. In fact, if some people can compile a paper on this, they can save some experimental funds and improve their food.

However, there are still many obvious rules and unspoken rules for serious projects.

At the very least, you cannot reveal information to the outside world before the project is finished. Although writing a paper does not mean publishing a paper, it is not a threat to competitors to obtain information. It is the project itself. Before it is completed, writing a paper is also a taboo. Who knows what the results of the subsequent experiment are like? How do you ensure that your paper is not a waste of time?

On the other hand, the value of the paper lies in the problems it reveals, not in the quantity and word count.

The simplest criterion for judgment is that for two identical projects, writing a paper alone is the most valuable. The value of dividing it into two papers is not only inferior to the former, but also not as good as the former when combined.

When Yang Rui was doing research on potassium ion channels, he encountered such a problem. In order to win the competition, he had to divide the research on potassium ion channels into multiple papers and published them one after another. Although he finally won the scientific research competition, it was not perfect.

In the PCR study, Yang Rui adopted the single paper model, condensed the essence into a paper, and achieved success in one battle, and the rewards obtained far exceed those of the potassium ion channel. In terms of early value, the two were originally incomparable.

In Director Mei's view, the embryo transfer of cows is naturally a big project. It is incredible to write a paper before it is finished.

Yang Rui just smiled and said, "I've been very busy recently. Everyone is exhausted. I can't just let everyone work and don't give me any motivation to cheer. Besides, the genetic engineering laboratory has no paper output so far, which is not a big deal."

"There is no need to be so anxious." Director Mei said halfway, then looked at the expressions of the people around him, and wisely stopped talking.

Yang Rui said: "Not worry, I just sorted out the previous results."

"Okay, I'll call you and post it as soon as possible."

"That's what it means."

Director Mei thought about it and asked again: "How many articles did you just say you were writing, how many articles did you specifically write?"

"Seven chapters."

"7 articles, oh... 南? Seven articles?" Director Mei was dumbfounded: "One-time?"

"If there are too many, it's OK to divide it into two batches."

Yang Rui answered very reluctantly, but Director Mei had no idea what to say. He had seen the world, but he had never heard of wholesale papers.
