Chapter 63 Writing in English

Yang Rui doesn’t know how good Wei Zhenxue’s research level is, but he has to admit that this guy is a good teacher.

No matter how low-level questions the student asked him, Wei Zhenxue could answer expressionlessly. Even though the student did well, he was still expressionless, but when facing students with zero experience, Wei Zhenxue's patience is obviously more valuable.

In addition, Wei Zhenxue also took the initiative to be an experimental assistant for Yang Rui. Although it was just weighing the weight of the substance or doing some titration operations, it really reduced Yang Rui's workload.

Mechanical analysis balances are not easy to operate. If you weigh ten or eight times, half an hour will pass. Although the students who helped the laboratory, Yang Rui did not dare to hand over any part of the experimental steps to them for doing except for cleaning test tubes.

Unlike later students, students at Xibao Middle School have basically never conducted physical and chemical experiments, and they have suddenly transitioned to one-tenth of the accuracy of measuring, which is too high. This is equivalent to letting students who are just starting to learn football play formal games, and not only can they play a role, but they may also have a reverse effect.

The paper that Yang Rui was preparing to write was precisely measured. If he made a mistake in a decimal point, it would not be a reputation for his article, but a shame.

It was also because Wei Zhenxue could help and Yang Rui did not have a capable experimental assistant that he resisted his usual low emotional intelligence nonsense, and did not drive him back, but instead found an empty bed in the dormitory and booked his three meals.

Although he felt a faint sense of guilt and excitement of using cheap labor, when Wei Zhenxue persisted for four days and still had no intention of going back, Yang Rui couldn't stand it at first.

While the materials in his hand were used up, Yang Rui sat next to Wei Zhenxue, coughed and said, "Researcher Wei, do you have to do your own experiment?"

"Just call me Lao Wei." Wei Zhenxue was operating the analytical balance seriously, as if he was doing his own experiment.

Yang Rui touched his forehead and followed the stern, "Old Wei."

"Um."

"What should you do if you don't go back for so long?"

"Anyway, the analysis balance is broken, and my experiment can't continue." Wei Zhenxue replied naturally.

Is the balance so important? Yang Rui said skeptically: "The analysis balance is broken, you can do other parts first. When the funds for the second half of the year arrive, just buy another analysis balance. The funds of the Coal Science Institute should not be particularly tight."

"Um."

"My experiments are one after another. No matter how long you stay, I will not lend you a balance." Yang Rui changed direction.

Wei Zhenxue said calmly: "I know, I can see that you are still preparing for the next experiment in advance."

Yang Rui was surprised and said, "Do you know you are not going back yet?"

"What are you going back to do? Go to the chemical store to check the instrument packaging every day?" Wei Zhenxue was not slow at all. He recorded the numbers while speaking, and then went to the cabinet to get the reagents and prepared to weigh the next group, leaving Yang Rui alone in a daze.

Yang Rui chased after him: "Have your experiment stopped?"

"Or what do you think I'm going to a chemical store to do?" Wei Zhenxue paused and said, "Why, are you idle and I got in the way?"

"No, you helped me a lot. I was a little sad and thought I couldn't delay you..."

"You can't delay me." Wei Zhenxue's eyebrows drooped on both sides, forming a horoscope, and said in a slightly heavier tone: "I'll know when you wait. Some people will be ashamed of others. I published two articles last year and was replaced in the laboratory this year. In fact, even if the analysis balance is not broken, there is always an instrument that will be broken. At that time, I still have no funds to buy the instrument, and the results will be the same. They don't like me, and I don't want to look at their faces. It's better to stay with you."

If this is an outsider, he might think it is a struggle between his peers. Yang Rui looked at Wei Zhenxue with a full face of suspicion and thought to himself: Just a guy like you with low emotional intelligence, you still have to change the laboratory? You still have to sacrifice an instrument? Besides, the instrument is not so easy to break. If it is broken in the second half of the year and the funds are received, wouldn’t it be a waste?

Thinking of this, Yang Rui looked at Wei Zhenxue up and down and said, "You have said something strange, you have been criticized."

Wei Zhenxue was still in the deep grief of the unpredictable human hearts, and was so guilty that he was seen, and muttered: "I just told the truth. The director did nothing every day. When he saw others were about to publish a paper, he ran over to help, and then wrote his own name. Sometimes he had to be the first author. He did this. Who would do it carefully in the future? When I said a few words to him, he got angry."

Of course, people are going to get angry. This is called anger and shame. The so-called cursing people is not a short-lived person... Yang Rui looked at the funny uncle in front of him and sighed: "Fortunately, you have been born 30 years ago, and you can enter the research institute with this little enlightenment..."

Wei Zhenxue asked: "What enlightenment?"

Yang Ruiyi asked sternly: "Does we do research to write papers and earn reputation?"

"Of course not."

"Well, the answer is very good. Since you are not for your reputation, I will not write your name in my paper. I will be free of the second or third authors." Yang Rui smiled and notified Wei Zhenxue.

Wei Zhenxue opened his mouth, lowered his head, and said, "I understand, I don't stay here just to be the second author."

"I know, you are trying to avoid quietness." Yang Rui was in a good mood if he did not have to share the right to sign. He made an exception and greeted him: "Is it really okay if you don't go to the research institute? Will you not be expelled from absent from work?"

"My father-in-law is from the Academy of Coal Sciences, just ask him to tell the director." Wei Zhenxue handed over his background indifferently.

Yang Rui was shocked: You idiot, you knew to look for parents when you were absent from work? What did you do long ago? Don’t you know that he would get you an analysis balance because his ethics cannot tolerate others gossiping?

Yang Rui felt powerless about the characters that only appear in such a complete and complete drama. He was reluctant to part with his only experimental assistant at the moment. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, I will pay you 50 yuan a month, and I will find you a more comfortable place. You can be an experimental assistant for me for the time being. You can also use the things in the laboratory. If I don't participate, I will not sign the paper you wrote."

"Okay." Wei Zhenxue had no intention of kneeling down and kowtowing, as if he was the protagonist.

Yang Rui sighed and said, "Tell me what papers you have written."

"Comparison of Solubility of Tungsten, Utilization of Bacterium Coal, and Several Methods to Improve Bacterium Coal Utilization..." Wei Zhenxue said it carefully, with a total of eight papers, all with strong domestic paper styles in the 1980s.

Yang Rui felt a little relieved. He could tell his level by listening to the name of the paper. Wei Zhenxue was a character with a higher heart than the sky and a thinner life than the paper. After that, he could be at most a third-rate graduate student.

Fortunately, I didn’t meet a big bull, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with. Yang Rui thought again, and said that the emotional intelligence is so low that it is not easy to become a big bull. It’s like the amazing Nikola Tesla, who was eventually tortured to death by Edison, who was full of money.

After a few words of praise, Yang Rui released Wei Zhenxue, continued to check his experimental results, and began to write the first chapter of the paper.

To determine the absorption coefficient of q10 using ultraviolet spectrophotometry, you must first have an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. This thing was a precious item in the 1980s. It was larger than the freezer in the store and more valuable than the freezer. Yang Rui spent all the ten thousand yuan in his hand, which was not enough to buy such one.

Therefore, Yang Rui also had to find a way to go to other research institutes to borrow someone else's ultraviolet spectrophotometer to use.

As a high school student, it is naturally a bit difficult to rashly borrow such important instruments. Yang Rui had to write some of his thesis first and then consider borrowing equipment to do experiments.

On the other hand, although it is not very difficult to retest the absorption coefficient of q10, it is necessary to prove that the absorption coefficients already present in the literature are incorrect, especially the absorption coefficients listed in foreign literature are incorrect, and a very detailed explanation is still needed.

Yang Rui thought hard for a while and felt unsuccessful. He looked at the "Essence Biochemical Pharmaceutical" at hand from time to time, which was also unsustainable.

This journal was ordered by Xibao Meat Union Factory. Yang Rui borrowed several books to be used as a reference for writing papers.

The format of the papers in the 1980s is very different from that in 30 years later, and the biggest difference is the difference in writing English papers and Chinese papers.

As a tragic graduate student in science and engineering, Yang Rui used to publish papers in English. This is also impossible. The brands of domestic journals have been completely destroyed by human relationships. It can be said that they have not left behind a few valuable items. Most of the people who published the articles there are guys with mixed professional titles.

Schools with slightly better conditions will require graduate students to publish at least one paper in District 1 to graduate, while most journals classified as District 1 are foreign languages.

If a graduate student does not start practicing and writing English journals from the first and second grades, and is ugly, it will become very troublesome for him to graduate.

Yang Rui in his previous life was a fat man. He had to work hard to write a paper and had a way out. He got used to writing, but instead felt that English papers were easier to write than Chinese papers.

Because the semantics of English words are relatively simple, professional related words are what they say. When needed, you can write a long word and retrieve the desired words and articles from the database without any obstacles.

Chinese translation is too complicated, and one word means several meanings. If you write a paper at the forefront of the subject, you can write another article just by explaining it.

After writing this for half an hour, Yang Rui gave up dejectedly, tore off the two pages of paper he had written, and then started writing in English.

Writing English papers first and then translating them into Chinese for publication. Around 2000, it was the main way for overseas returnees to write bad articles. However, as the value of domestic journals decreased year by year, the rewards given by schools decreased, and the level of high-end students increased, and this recycling technology began to be transmitted to the student group.

Yang Rui was not sure whether his short article could be published abroad or what taboos were there, but it would be better to write it in a familiar way to do it in China. Anyway, this paper will not exceed 2,000 words. Even if you need to search the English dictionary, it is easier and fluent than writing in Chinese.

Soon, in the laboratory of Xibao Middle School, only the sound of flipping books was left.

At some point, Wei Zhenxue was already standing behind Yang Rui, staring at the English letters in amazement.
