Chapter 357 Drosophila
"Drosophila, what's strange about it?" Assistant Professor Liu also shouted, feeling quite guilty.
Huarui's laboratory also uses guinea pigs, which is the news that Assistant Professor Liu told Richard.
Xu Anqing was confused and said, "If we continue to study, should we choose a guinea pig or a fruit fly?"
Now, everyone's eyes focused on Richard's face again.
Richard's face was gloomy and after a while, he said, "Next, we will also use fruit fly."
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others sighed secretly.
The sigh is because using fruit flies to do the following experiments, which actually means that the work in Richard's laboratory has been basically in vain. Of course, the experience of training the team can still be retained. But apart from this, the hard work in the past few months has not accumulated much. The bold words Richard just said are just inspiring lies.
Fruit flies and mice have different species, and animals that cannot fall in love with each other have much in common.
Those who breathe a sigh of relief are people who are not confident enough and are afraid of the wrong direction. Cloning the mutant gene of the potassium ion channel to determine the function of potassium ions is a brand new research method, and it has not been done before or has not been done successfully. Richard's laboratory has used guinea pigs for so long and has not produced results. The conditions in Huarui Laboratory are not particularly good, but they have been done, and the progress is significantly faster than Richard's laboratory. This makes people wonder whether it is the fruit flies that are particularly easy to do, or the guinea pigs that are particularly difficult to do?
Faced with objective facts, we have not questioned why Yang Rui and others did so quickly.
To find reasons for successful people is the patent of historians.
Xu Anqing lowered his head and suddenly felt a kind of depression in his heart. The pain came from his hard work that had no reward, the pain came from his efforts that could not change reality, and the pain came from the illusory future.
"We didn't accumulate on fruit flies and would start slowly. If we could, it would be better to start working immediately." Connors made a suggestion in English, which was immediately adopted by Richard.
After reading the paper, Xu Anqing listened to Richard's speech and encouraged him, and went back to work silently.
The atmosphere in Richard's laboratory also became extremely tense.
The reality is not as Richard said. They are on the same starting line as Huarui Laboratory. The reality is that Yang Rui and others have a considerable understanding of the genes related to fruit fly, but the researchers in Richard Laboratory have to put aside the familiar mouse genes and instead understand the genes of fruit fly.
If you use reading literature to describe it, it is equivalent to reading hundreds of more papers.
Although everyone does not have such a workload, even if it is reduced ten times, each person skimming nearly 100 papers with a precision of twenty papers, it will take several days.
Moreover, unlike the usual understanding reading, researchers in related research must complete reading before doing experiments, and the time spent is solid.
The most important thing is that the Huarui laboratory where Yang Rui is located has obtained mutated cells, and Richard Laboratory has to spend time reproducing the experiment to obtain mutated cells. The time required here is almost no different from the time Yang Rui spent in the early stage.
It can be said that Richard's experiment was at least one month behind.
Unfortunately, Richard had no choice.
The laboratory he cooperated with Peking University was established for this purpose. He did not talk about the early efforts, but now he left, and Richard's reputation was lost.
Of course, the most important thing is that Richard is reluctant to give up, and he still has a chance.
Yang Rui only achieved phased results, and the subsequent steps will only be more difficult and time-consuming.
Richard felt that the progress that was one month behind was still possible to recover.
At the end of the meeting, the people in the laboratory started to wander around like worker bees.
At the same time, there was laughter and joy in Huarui Laboratory.
Jielikang delivered a big cake, Li Zhangzheng, the Hong Kong manager of Huarui Company, bought boxes of beer and liquor, and ordered takeaway from Donglaishun.
In the open space in the yard, three copper pots were placed in a row, and meat slices, mushrooms, cabbage and other items were placed around it. Everyone was sweating all over and exclaiming that they were satisfied.
In the afternoon, Trapp, the chief technology officer of Jielikan in China, also came from Tianjin, accompanied Yang Rui to drink a few sips of wine, and said regretfully: "I suggested that Jielikan invest in Huarui Laboratory, but it was not approved. Now, they probably regret it."
"To the current level of research, you can't apply for a patent." Yang Rui was not overwhelmed by Trapp's words.
Trapp shook his head and said, "No, it's OK now, and it will be an extremely popular patent."
"Hope so."
"If we first invested in the stock and purchased the patent, it would be much more convenient." Trapp mentioned it again.
Yang Rui smiled and didn't follow up.
Yang Rui owns 100% of Huarui Company, and Huarui Laboratory belongs to Huarui Company 100% of Huarui Company. Therefore, the achievements of Huarui Laboratory belong to Yang Rui completely.
Compared to the knowledge that Yang Rui could find in his brain, Huarui Laboratory is seriously underestimated now, so even if Trapp persuades Jilikan's senior management to invest, he will not agree.
However, Trapp didn't need to know about these things, so Yang Rui just drank with Trapp.
The celebration lasted from lunch to dinner time, and the researchers left one after another, but Huang Mao unexpectedly returned to the laboratory. He was extremely excited now and didn't want to go back to rest.
However, Yang Rui went back and slept with confidence, and came to provide guidance the next day. Because his experimental ability was not as good as Wang Ying, nor as good as Huang Mao who had returned from training in the United States, Yang Rui's work in the laboratory was becoming more and more like the boss.
Many senior researchers, especially professors and top researchers, although they stay in the laboratory, are often supervisors and do not necessarily conduct experiments in person.
On the one hand, not everyone can complete the experiment accurately and quickly. On the other hand, laboratory bosses often need to solve the problem of direction and method rather than specific experiments.
In the past, Yang Rui did small-scale scientific research. Instead of explaining his own needs, it is better to do it yourself. However, in medium- and large-scale scientific research projects such as potassium channel, scientific research practice has become difficult, and field operations are no longer a decisive factor. Yang Rui naturally changed from a pure first-line researcher to a quasi-first-line experimentalist.
The benefits of doing this are obvious. The number of experiments that Yang Rui has to do in person has decreased, while more groups have time to pay attention to.
Of course, there will be more coordination work, but for Yang Rui now, it is quite a simple job.
