Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

The world of scientific research has never been a sentimental world.

Scientists are all rational creatures. Their emotions may be strong, and at a certain time, they may erupt like a volcanic eruption. But most of the time, scientists look at the white mouse calmly, and then snap sharply. It's the image of the cervical spine.

"Tenderness" and "humility" are not valuable qualities of scientists.

The valuable qualities of a scientist are wise insight and calm thinking.

However, humility and warmth have always been the rare qualities of scientists.

Just like Professor Wang Yong, Yang Rui likes him, and most people like him, although he can't get more funding because of it, and even in some cases, these rare qualities can't even help a scholar keep a job, but this must be It is the most popular quality among colleagues.

Nobody wants a co-worker who's so calm that he's brutal.

Yang Rui's warmth and modesty were beyond Xu Zhengping's expectations.

In fact, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

Funding and results have always been the lifeblood of researchers. Without funds, no results can be produced, and even the best researcher is a waste.

Funding and results are never isolated.

Funds create results, and the cycle of results obtaining funds is a beautiful closed loop. Give your own results to others? How could a researcher with funding do this?

As Xu Zhengping observed the young Yang Rui, countless thoughts drifted through his mind.

"Arrogance based on talent" is the general understanding of young scientists.

The field of natural science has never been short of geniuses. There are not many people who become famous at a young age, but there are still not many geniuses who are able to publish cell. Those who can reach Yang Rui's current level—Xu Zhengping can't find a reference, but he knows, I like Yang Rui's approach.

Although it is not economical and practical, he likes Yang Rui's approach.

Yang Rui was ignorant of the psychological changes of the people around him. Unlike the Yang Rui that Xu Zhengping and others saw, he himself didn't think he was a peerless genius—of course, he still had a little bit of talent. During the time when he was a tutor, he gave Yang Rui great confidence.

It's a pity that the road of being a top student has always been narrower and narrower, and Yang Rui can only do his best to avoid being left behind.

He doesn't even bother to move a bunch of short and fast projects back to his laboratory.

When will he be able to get his own independent laboratory, this matter was uncertain before. If he did not have his own independent laboratory, Yang Rui would have to stay in the Tang concentrated laboratory. Since at that time, he was satisfied with the short-term and fast projects He is naturally satisfied with the rewards he has brought.

"Let's look at the project." Yang Rui changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, look at the project." Xu Zhengping also adjusted his mood, took care of it, and introduced it with double seriousness, and the more he talked, the happier he became.

In fact, these short and quick projects, while gaining Yang Rui's reputation, also brought great benefits to Xu Zhengping.

In just a few months, Xu Zhengping published more papers than in previous years.

Although they are all entry-level papers with an impact factor of no more than 4.0, if you change the tone,

But it should be like this: These are all fucking high-level texts.

If it wasn't for Peking University, Xu Zhengping would still be able to come back with a professor's title if he was just eating and waiting to die.

Even at Peking University, the number of Xu Zhengping's papers has exceeded the average standard. If one or two of these papers have high citations and are directly used to apply for professors, there is still a good chance.

Of course, the safest way is to publish high-level papers, but for things like projects, if the goal is set high, it may not be done, but if it is done slowly, it is likely to be preempted—even if everything is done according to It is also a headache for high-level journals to suddenly convulse and refuse to accept the plan.

In general, if a person completes three major projects, he will be able to write at least two high-level papers, but if a person only completes one major project, whether he can write a high-level paper is always a matter of probability of.

As for those who do a project and write a big paper, and write a big paper and publish a journal with a high impact factor, it is not uncommon, but it is not everywhere...

Xu Zhengping's eyes wandered around Yang Rui unconsciously.

Among the people he knows, Yang Rui is definitely one of the best researchers who can do targeted research.

Once the brain hole is opened, it can no longer be closed.

Xu Zhengping started to flash through Yang Rui's papers and projects one by one as if he was showing a slideshow.

In terms of the total number, the papers with Yang Rui as the first author have already exceeded the 50 mark. In his early days, he published about 20 papers on the entry-level "Biochemical System Ecology".

After entering Peking University, the number of Yang Rui's papers has not decreased, but the quality has improved significantly.

Moreover, unlike the teachers of Peking University, the support Yang Rui received was mainly from a company called Zeneca. Later, the National Medicine Foreign Trade also gave money, and the Department of Biology of Peking University also gave funds, but that was only in the past six months.

What really supported Yang Rui to continue his research was the word success.

Xu Zhengping recalled carefully, it seems that none of Yang Rui's projects failed.

Winning the scientific research competition with the University of California-this matter is especially scary when you think about it. In fact, if an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences wins a professor at the University of California in a scientific research competition, this is something worthy of special mention.

Instead, it was Yang Rui's victory that left everyone at a loss.

There are many scholars who make a project become a project, especially in the current domestic environment, those who cannot bear failure can only succeed.

But as far as Yang Rui's current status is concerned, his success has stronger credibility.

"How about the thermophilic bacteria project you are working on?" Xu Zhengping knew that this was a big project. Small.

Yang Rui glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile, "Huavel's laboratory is doing it, it's Huang Mao and the others, and it's going well so far."

"You didn't participate?"

"I host the project." This is what the corresponding author plus the first author means.

This is all in the 1980s. It is the foundation for several people to work on a project. The situation of being the first author alone is becoming less and less, and it is becoming more and more impossible. Especially in biology, the progress is too fast and the requirements are too high.

Xu Zhengping hesitated for a while, and asked, "What about your independent laboratory? Do you want to start a new project?"

"Of course we have to open it. What we are doing now can be done in a new laboratory in the future."

"These projects are quite good, but they are a bit trivial." The implication is that Xu Zhengping is a little idler.

Yang Rui nodded with a smile, and said, "The current funds are not much, so that's all we can do for the time being."

Of course he would not say that the current projects are all laying the foundation for genomics.

However, the basics are only the basics after all, no matter how well they do it, they are only excellent brick movers, and it is normal for Xu Zhengping not to want to do it, after all, he has accumulated quite a few small papers.

Two or three months ago, Xu Zhengping would have been happy with the number of papers produced, but when the number increased, it was normal for him to have new requirements.

People are like this, time goes by, ideas will inevitably change.

Xu Zhengping hesitated for a moment, then said, "I still have some funds left."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone who heard it fainted.

Yang Rui also looked at Xu Zhengping suspiciously.

"When your new laboratory is up, we can develop several larger projects together." Xu Zhengping's chest was filled with heat, which was the sudden effect of his bravery.

"It's easy to make the project bigger, but the result is not big..." Yang Rui stopped talking, and said hesitantly, "Would you like to work in my laboratory?"

"If you don't mind, let me help you in your laboratory." Xu Zhengping smiled.

"How could you dislike it?" Yang Rui immediately took Xu Zhengping's hand. Xu Zhengping was in the prime of his life when he was making achievements, and he would be welcomed everywhere.

The two of them tacitly did not mention the problem of co-construction of the laboratory. Now that the independent laboratory has been approved, no matter how strong Xu Zhengping is, he can only be a small boss with peace of mind.

This is not the same as working in the laboratory of Tang Concentration. Although the content of the work is the same, in name Xu Zhengping is in the laboratory of Tang Concentration, and Tang Concentration is a veteran professor after all.

It really took some courage for Xu Zhengping to work in Yang Rui's laboratory.

Previously, Professor Cai proposed to build a laboratory together, but they did not receive a positive response. Now that Yang Rui has obtained an independent laboratory, and Xu Zhengping comes in again, the reputation will not be good.

The only thing that can change the perspective of the outside world is the results.

Therefore, Xu Zhengping worked harder than Yang Rui. Not only did he spend more time in the laboratory, he even consciously became the supervisor of Yang Rui's laboratory.
