Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

If we use Qianlong in the abyss to describe the state of some great men before their rise, then Peking University Library is a bottomless "abyss".

Unlike ordinary people's imagination, the library is not just a place to collect books. If it is just a place to collect books, wouldn't the term "book warehouse" be more appropriate. The actual use of the library is actually the classification of books, and most importantly, the analysis and reporting of books.

It is an achievement led by Peking University Library. In terms of use, it is the same as the evaluation of the value of journals.

From the library's point of view, this is actually a money-saving job. Because there are tens of thousands of periodicals in the world, no matter how big a library is, it cannot order all periodicals without choice. In this case, an evaluation system is needed for which periodicals to order.

In practical application, core journals have become an evaluation standard for Chinese journals, and publishing papers in core journals is considered to be at least meaningful. Compared with ordinary people, whether it is teachers, professors, engineers or artists, If you want to evaluate your title, you must at least publish articles in core journals.

In 1983, although Peking University hadn't made this thing yet, the demand had already appeared.

As far as foreign papers are concerned, the first thing they collect is also papers by Chinese authors.

When the subscribed periodicals arrive, first open the catalog page, record the work units, names and papers of Chinese authors, especially domestic authors, and then organize them month by month to form a nationwide report.

Even crude work could help a lot before computers got involved.

After Tang concentrated, he called two students and searched under the entry of "yang".

The three grimaced in search, but they couldn't find a suitable one.

Seeing that it was time to eat, a student whispered: "If you know the unit, maybe it will be easier to find something."

"He is from Peking University...Wait, who knows which school he used to be from?" Tang Zhong asked himself.

The two students looked at each other, they didn't know which school they were from before.

Tang concentrated on touching his chin, wrote a note, called a student, and said, "Now go to the administration building and ask, ask the Admissions Office or the Archives Office, and ask them to check."

The students ran away when they received the task.

When I came back, the note already had the words Xibao Middle School in Xixian County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province.

"Check under the entry of Nanhu City first." Tang Zhong gave the order, and the two students went to look through the entry with a grunt.

In a prefecture-level city, not many articles can be published in a year. What Tang concentrated was worried about was that Yang Rui didn't mark his unit at all. After all, he was a student then and now, so it seems normal not to specifically mark the school.

Of course, there is another possibility that Yang Rui has not published articles before. However, Tang concentrated on recalling the review he read and felt that it was unlikely. Not to mention anything else, just from the style of writing, it can be seen that the review is very mature.

The language of the thesis does not need to be tempered, but without a certain amount of accumulation, it is still very difficult to write a thesis with ease.

Yang Rui is a freshman and he is at Peking University. No professor would be bored and make great efforts to revise an undergraduate student's review. The more obvious answer is that it is impossible for a professor not to sign the paper if he puts so much effort into it.

"found it."

A student's cry of relief interrupted Tang's concentrating thoughts, as if the director had called out, and the turmoil in the room disappeared.

Tang Zhong stood up and asked, "How many articles are there?"

"There seem to be more than a dozen." The student handed two sheets with entries to Tang Ji.

Small script, marked with the title of Yishui's book, appeared in front of Tang Ji.

"This is a paper written for Zeneca's work.

Tang Ji recalled what Yang Rui said, and thought to himself: His role in Zeneca seems to be not small.

The paper entries arranged according to the timeline have both Chinese and English on the first sheet. While reading the name, Tang Ji pulled out the first sheet and looked at the second chapter card.

The three letters "" skipped a few lines and directly caught Tang's eyes.

Tang focused on nothing else, and immediately looked at the entries carefully.

It turned out to be... Tang Zhong suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said to himself: Fortunately, it's not harmony.

It is a top journal in the field of chemistry, and it is a height that Tang Ji himself cannot reach. If Yang Rui can publish such an article, he is embarrassed to include it in his research group.

However, Tang concentrated on thinking about it, and it is also a good journal.

An impact factor of four to five may be the standard for a master's degree in American academia, but in China in the 1980s, many local professors could not achieve this.

In the 1980s, China’s academics were barren, and the previous generation hardly had any meaningful academic foundation. In the 1980s, when people started to start again, they almost all started with entry-level journals. Except for a few professors who came back from abroad, China could publish There are very few papers in top journals.

Journals such as chemical biology can be said to be top-notch among Chinese journals. If it weren't for an institution like Peking University, there is such a student in other schools, and they can already show off with great fanfare.

Tang concentrated in Peking University as an ordinary bull, but he also published papers with an impact factor of more than 10. At this time, his thoughts immediately turned to the direction of recruiting Yang Rui.

It seems unrealistic for Yang Rui to leave Zeneca's laboratory. Tang Jiji knows that college students want to work in foreign companies. Why are so many people rushing to work in Shenzhen? Because the wages of workers in a foreign company's toy factory in Shenzhen are three For four hundred yuan, many mainlanders would rather give up lucrative government jobs or university teaching positions, and would rather go to Shenzhen to work as a worker, which shows the attractiveness gap between the two.

Working in the laboratory of Zeneca, and entering Zeneca after graduation seems to be a very smooth thing.

This kind of laboratory work in foreign companies is hard to come by. Compared with domestic university laboratories, they are not even a little bit less attractive.

On the other hand, the research and development costs of several of Yang Rui’s papers are more than tens of thousands of yuan, and the cost of the equipment is at least hundreds of thousands. Tang Ji’s calculation can naturally judge the importance of Yang Rui in Zeneca.

It can be said that the senior lecturers of Peking University do not have the experimental conditions like Yang Rui, and the associate professors who are not as good can not win such a large amount of funding.

Tang Ji's laboratory has some accumulation, and this year's application for a million yuan of funds can support a laboratory that seems to be better than Yang Rui's. However, Tang Ji's laboratory is for Tang Ji himself and He couldn't give Yang Rui the service of many members of the scientific research team.

Moreover, the research direction is also different.

Whether it is coenzyme q10, or plant extraction, or the refining of solanesol, it has little to do with the protein research concentrated by Tang, and the same is true of Yang Rui's recent review.

After much deliberation, Tang Zhong couldn't help thinking to himself: Could it be that he can only be given a part-time job? I'm afraid of part-time jobs and I don't want to.

Although with this kind of doubt, Tang concentrated still decided to give it a try.

Early the next morning, Tang Zong called Yang Rui and made an appointment with him directly in his laboratory.

As far as the administrative level of laboratories is concerned, the first tier in China should be national key laboratories, the second tier is provincial key laboratories, and the third tier is departmental or school-level laboratories, such as the Provincial Department of Agriculture.

For laboratories lower than the third sequence, they are basically just laboratories, and it is difficult to call them research. As far as the first sequence of laboratories is concerned, there is no upper limit, there are strong and weak, There are academicians and Changjiang Scholars who are strong, and even associate professors who are weak.

However, the construction of national key laboratories just started in the early 1980s, and those who can pass the application at this time will be the first in the first sequence 30 years later.

The laboratory concentrated in Tang has applied for a national key laboratory, but with the current equipment, it is still difficult to pass.

On the contrary, out of the consideration of supporting him, Peking University helped get more funds this year, which can be regarded as some benefits.

Yang Rui walked around the laboratory, silently compared with his own laboratory, and found that there were still some deficiencies.

To build a laboratory with personal funds, for social people, at least the level of the richest man on the Forbes list is enough. Yang Rui has a lot of money now, which is still too insignificant compared with the state's investment.

Even if Tang's concentrated laboratory is only of average level, he is especially deficient.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." Yang Rui muttered something.

Under the curious eyes of two graduate students in the lab, Tang concentrated on asking, "What do you think of this lab?"

"It's good, but I have a laboratory job at Zeneca..." Yang Rui briefly explained again, and he didn't know why Tang Jiji called him to come to the laboratory. Logically speaking, Tang Jiji had no reason Ask him to join the research team again.

Based on Yang Rui's current situation, he can still come up with attractive conditions, either a big-name figure with abundant funds under his name, who even owns multiple laboratories, or an ordinary professor, and there is no restriction on Yang Rui.

After Tang concentrated his thoughts, he said confidently, "How about this? I'm in the lab, and I'll leave you an independent place. You usually help your classmates do some experiments, and you can use the lab equipment yourself. , I can also apply for experimental materials from the school for you. You can also sign your paper independently, but I hope you can add the name of my research group. Finally, I will not interfere with your work at Zeneca. "

The translation of this passage means that Yang Rui is allowed to work part-time in the experimental group of Tang Ji. Except for those whose names are in the experimental group, Yang Rui is only required to help tutor and train other students.

At the same time, Yang Rui can also apply for funding from the government and schools through Tang's concentrated research group, which is especially rare because neither Yang Rui nor Zeneca can obtain funding from the state.

Tang Ji's proposal is similar to that given by Yang Rui to Wei Zhenxue, and they are relatively independent. However, Yang Rui is a student but has a laboratory, Wei Zhenxue is a researcher but lacks money, and Tang Jiji has money and status. It is indeed commendable to be able to propose such a proposal.

Yang Rui swallowed all the refusals and thought about it: "Zeneca will definitely ask for a special contract, which is to distinguish the rights and obligations enjoyed by the two laboratories. Can you agree?"

"Of course. However, you can only work in these two laboratories, and you cannot join other laboratories." Tang Ji hopes that Yang Rui can help him train and manage students. In the words of later generations, he is a small boss.

Now the talent is too scarce, there are only young lecturers and teaching assistants under Tang Concentration, if Yang Rui can support the work of training and managing scientific research dogs, even if he can support half of it, he can release a teaching assistant to help Tang Concentration work, and work with Tang Concentration. In contrast, Yang Rui only used the laboratory's equipment and had to bear the name of the laboratory. There was no loss for him, which was tantamount to realizing the administrative value of the laboratory.

This is the cooperation needed for mutual exchange. Yang Rui has no reason to object, and quickly made a decision, saying: "Thanks to Professor Tang's attention, if this is the case, I hope to apply to join your research group."

"Okay, okay." Tang concentrated was happy that he had an additional officer under his command, and encouraged his morale: "I am applying for a national key laboratory. If the application is successful, you will also be the veteran of the laboratory. If you do well, you will be the leader in the future." Those who have the opportunity to stay in school..."

Yang Rui is happy to be attached to the laboratory. In this way, at least the freedom of college students in the 21st century can be restored. In contrast, tutoring laboratory students is nothing more than a few more scientific research dogs.
