While Li Zheng and Chang Keqing were preparing the next set of samples, Shi Yang and Mo Nian had already breathed a sigh of relief and completed the "rotation" CT.

Although it only took three minutes, 3.73G of data had been transmitted to the storage array. However, at this time, these were just simple high-precision images. To parse them into three-dimensional structural diagrams, the help of software and algorithms was still needed.

Behind Shi Yang, Liu Tao looked at the small molecules on the screen that looked like a lump of black briquettes, and couldn't help but lean forward and raise his glasses.

"Not bad...the first time I took such a clear picture..."

"I was shocked too..." Shi Yang also wiped his sweat, "The difficulty of cryo-electron microscopy mainly lies in sample crystal preparation. As long as the sample purity and parameters are in place, anyone can read the beautiful structure... But this time we... It seems like you just rubbed it casually?"

Mo Nian nodded and said, "To be precise, I just rubbed the progesterone that is always available in the chemical hospital."

"Wait a minute..." Shen Yiyun next to him was startled, "Isn't this sample carefully prepared by you?"

Mo Nian spread his hands: "I just took it from the consumables place."

"Why...why?" Shen Yiyun scratched his head and shouted, "It will take ten days and a half for our team to make a qualified sample. It would be great if one of them can be used after making a lot of crystals. "

"It's different, it's fundamentally different." Mo Nian gestured, "The conventional strategy of using electron microscopes like yours is still based on biological thinking. According to biological thinking, you think that cryo-electron microscopy is born to analyze some things. For rare and complex macromolecules and protein structures, in order to remove interference and analyze the specified information, the requirements for samples are demanding. On the contrary, we only want to see simple small molecule structures, which can be found everywhere and are extremely pure. .”

"Shouldn't the gold standard for analyzing the structure of small molecules be X-ray single crystal diffraction?" Shen Yiyun gestured eagerly, "It is equally difficult to produce qualified crystals."

"That's why we have to use an electron microscope!" Shi Yang grabbed Shen Yiyun's shoulders excitedly, "The dimension has been upgraded, sister! This time we have upgraded the dimension of the chemical microscope, from X-ray to CT."

"But... this..." Shen Yiyun even ignored the fact that Shi Yang didn't wash his hands and just said blankly, "This is too simple... 3 minutes?"

At this time, Li Zheng, who had prepared the next sample, had already walked over.

"It should be 10 minutes." After Li Zheng looked at the screen, he turned around and said to Liu Tao, "Next we need to use the Adaboost algorithm to select suitable images for three-dimensional construction."

"Hiccup...oh." Liu Tao burped in panic, "Someone, come with me and use the workstation outside to do it."

"Me, me, me!" Shi Yang jumped up, nodded to Li Zheng with bright eyes, and then pushed Liu Tao out of the laboratory without saying a word.

Li Zheng then sat in front of the operating table.

"This group does 140° diffraction, rotates 0.5° per second, and has a resolution of 0.8°." Li Zheng took a breath, moved his neck and rushed to Shen Yiyun, who was beside him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work and guidance."

At the same time, the leader of the group, Lin Moming, started preparing the next set of samples, but in fact their eyes were always locked on the electron microscope body.

Tu Yi Kou: I have to find a way to dismantle one...

Lin Moming: I have to find a way to buy one...

Just as their third set of samples was placed in the electron microscope, there was suddenly the sound of glass being smashed.

Shi Yang bared his teeth and waved wildly outside.

"Fuck...no way..." Shen Yiyun was shocked and subconsciously glanced at the wall clock, "13 minutes?"

But Li Zheng just blew the hair on his forehead and stood up and said, "Just keep an eye on me, I'll go out for a while."

"I want to go see it too!!!"

"Next time, next time."

Li Zheng trotted to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Shi Yang's shouts poured into the inner room like a thousand miles.

"Ganniniang's Li Zheng!! This is it!!!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone in the back room couldn't bear it anymore, dropped the experiment at hand and chased him out.

Only the leader stopped where he was and secretly approached the main body of the electron microscope while they were out looking at the images.

In the outer room, everyone gathered in front of the workstation screen, squeezing the dazed Liu Tao to the back.

"This is too damn fast and easy!!" Shi Yang pointed at the screen and kept howling, "X-rays may not be able to complete the job in half a month, but the electron microscope can do it in 10 minutes!!"

"Ah..." Shen Yiyun stared at the structural diagram on the screen that looked like a mole tunnel. He took off his glasses, rubbed them vigorously, and looked at them again, "Although it's a bit sloppy... but this structure... is indeed... Progesterone is correct…”

Behind, Lin Moming jumped a lot before she could barely see the picture, but she still didn't dare to be too happy. She asked breathlessly: "This, this... is it really that simple? Why has no one noticed it? It's so simple? We are the first indivual?!"

"For the time being...but...it's really too simple." Although Li Zheng was very satisfied with the structure he analyzed for the first time, he still frowned. After thinking about it, he finally took out his mobile phone and said to Shi Yang, "This picture Send it to Zhou Chenghuan immediately, I will apply to catch up on the progress."

"OK! I will send an email directly and send the parameters together." Shi Yang's little fat hands started to micro-manipulate at the speed of light, moving back and forth between the three screens and three keyboards.

…

Forty minutes later.

When Zhou Yi rushed into the laboratory, he saw a dull Liu Tao, Shen Yiyun who was thinking about life, Li Zheng who was processing data, and Chang Keqing who was filling out an experimental report.

No one bothered to say hello to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi didn't care to say hello to everyone. He just rushed to the screen, grabbed the mouse, and quickly read the analysis images of the three experiments.

After a moment, Zhou Yi turned around and almost shook his eyes: "Liu Tao, did you watch this process with your own eyes?"

Liu Tao was stunned for a while before he remembered to nod: "Yes... yes... it is 100% simpler and clearer than other experiments..."

Zhou Yi immediately fell into tremors. He tried to straighten his glasses several times but failed. Finally, he simply threw away his glasses and picked up Li Zheng.

"Oh my God!!!" Zhou Yi grabbed Li Zheng's head tightly, his eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to put his forehead on it, "How the hell did you think you could do this!!!"

"The spirit...the inspiration is in place..." Li Zheng did not dare to look directly at Zhou Yi, for fear of being in trouble, "I am bothering you at this time... Mainly because this experiment is too simple. Even if we don't do it, others will do it. It’s just a matter of time. If you want to count the achievements of the institute, I hope you can find a way to buy us some more laboratory operation time.”

"Fight for it!! We must fight for it!!" Zhou Yi put down Li Zheng, picked up his glasses, and stared at Mo Nian, Shi Yang and others who were still doing micro-management in the glass window, pointing inside and said, "Immediately make a simple move first

For the lab report, just state the matter in detail and post the pictures. I will take this and shoot it on the dean’s face to give you 24/7 electron microscope treatment!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Keqing, who was in front of the workstation next to him, looked up: "It has been sent to your mailbox. If you need a printed version, I will print it immediately."

Zhou Yi turned his head fiercely again, and threw out the glasses he had just put on again: "It's only been two hours!!"

"To be precise, it's about 1 hour and 10 minutes." Li Zheng leaned over and helped Zhou Yi pick up the glasses, "Ah... they were broken..."

"Fuck, that's really troublesome." Zhou Yi took the glasses and simply pierced the broken lens, then hurriedly put it on and pulled Li Zheng up again, "Let's go! Follow me to kill the dean's house!!

"

After saying that, he turned to glare at Liu Tao: "Xiao Liu, please do your best. Don't leave until they say it's over today."

"……oh."

…

The experiment went smoothly beyond everyone's imagination. Until 9:40, when Li Zheng was sitting in the living room of Zhang Shilei, the dean of the Academy of Chemistry, he still felt a little bit magical.

In the scientific research circle, although issues such as learning valves have been criticized, there is one thing that is absolutely superior to all other fields.

That is the leader, he really understands technology.

At least in the field of hard-core science and engineering, those in power must have sufficient academic achievements, and there will never be a situation where laypeople lead experts.

Although Zhang Shilei has little hair, is not good-looking, and is troubled by daily management affairs, his academic ability is still as high as 2482, and his academic qualifications exceed Zhou Yi by more than 10,000.

Generally speaking, once Li Zheng sees this kind of data, he knows that things are stable.

As expected, Zhang Shilei simply asked a few questions, made a phone call with Liu Tao, then escaped into the study and started a series of communications.

According to Zhou Yi's explanation, the current cryo-electron microscope is mainly used by Hu Zengwu's organic photovoltaic team. If all the recent use rights are assigned to Li Zheng's team, Hu Zengwu must be explained the situation and comforted.

After all, Hu Zengwu is a subject leader in a major direction. If he didn't nod, even Zhang Shilei wouldn't be able to steal the experimental time.

Although Zhou Yi was determined, he still had some concerns when thinking about Hu Zengwu.

"Oh... If I had known you were training at that time, you wouldn't have messed with him..." Zhou Yi took off his glasses, wiped the hollow frames and muttered, "Who knew we would bump into him at this time..."

"Yeah, who knows." Li Zheng shook his head and sighed, "It's okay, Dean Zhou, if Professor Hu doesn't agree, we will work overtime at night, from 7pm to 7am at worst."

"Let's not talk about whether you can handle it or not. I'm afraid the laboratory operation and maintenance personnel are about to revolt..."

"Well...we have a team member who can pay them overtime."

"Hahaha……"

"She is serious. She brought money into the group just to solve this unforeseen problem."

"Is it possible to bring money into the group?" Zhou Yi leaned on the sofa and shook his head and sighed, "But this can be regarded as foresight. If I knew in advance that you could achieve this kind of results and do it so quickly... I'm afraid it wouldn't be half a circle.

Everyone is asking you to bring money into the group."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Shilei walked out of the study, his face full of surprise.

Li Zheng and Zhou Yi stood up quickly. Judging from his expressions, the outcome of this negotiation did not seem to be good.

"Old Hu, Old Hu..." Zhang Shilei kept shaking his head and walked to the coffee table, "Why... just agreed?!"

Li Zheng and Zhou Yi looked shocked at the same time.

Zhang Shilei couldn't figure it out, so he said to Li Zheng: "Professor Hu originally refused to agree, but when he heard your name, he relented and said that you are a piece of material."

"???" Zhou Yi was shocked and lost control of his glasses again, "Is this the Hu Zengwu I know?"

Zhang Shilei then asked Li Zheng: "Are you friends?"

"Well... I used to help out in Teacher Hu's laboratory." Li Zheng scratched his head and said with a smile, "Teacher Hu can do it, he is also the same material."

Zhang Shilei was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Yi, and they both laughed at the same time.

"Then I will definitely convey it to Lao Hu."

"It seems that Xiao Li's is definitely very important."

After sitting down again, the dean's wife also brought tea.

Li Zheng wanted to rush back to the laboratory and let the two deans talk in detail, but he was forced to stay back.

People of every age and position will always react and think differently when they see things.

For the two deans, the data in the two hours before them had already proved that this experiment was bound to have great results.

After taking down Hu Zengwu, compared to Li Zheng's race against time, they had already tacitly thought of the next step.

After exchanging a glance, Zhang Shilei put down the experimental report in his hand and looked at Li Zheng as he nodded solemnly on the table: "Li Zheng, according to my and Dean Zhou's judgment, this is worth a CNS."

When Li Zheng heard this, he didn't have much expression.

That’s definitely worth it!

After all, it is the cutting-edge breakthrough content in the system.

The so-called CNS is not a telecommunications operator, but three scientific publications.

"Cell", "Nature" and "Science".

For most scientific researchers, except for the unrealistic Nobel Prize, being able to publish a CNS paper is almost everyone's greatest ideal.

In other words, a person who has issued CNS is worthy of being called a boss wherever he goes.

Taking this as a criterion for strength is certainly somewhat pedantic or admiring foreign elements.

But unfortunately, this is still the most reliable standard.

Not only is it reliable, but it’s also valuable.

In almost any top-tier university in China, anyone who successfully publishes a CNS paper will receive a bonus ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 1 million.

Another regret is that many older generation scientific researchers did not have the opportunity to receive this honor despite their research and contributions due to limited conditions and resources back then.

On the contrary, many young scientific researchers have become famous at a young age due to the investment of large amounts of resources and the introduction of cutting-edge tools such as "cryo-electron microscopy".

To be honest, even Zhou Yi and Zhang Shilei in front of me failed to appear on CNS.

On the contrary, it was Hu Zengwu who made a fortune in the field of organic photovoltaics and caught up with the times.

"You have to be famous as early as possible..." Zhou Yi looked at Li Zheng and couldn't help feeling jealous, "But you kid, it's too damn early..."

As Li Zheng, he was actually very restrained. He had fully studied until he was in college before starting to deal with this problem. This was because the system showed mercy to people with disabilities.

"How about..." Li Zheng really couldn't bear it, so he asked, "Should Dean Zhou be the first author?"

"Ah, no, no, no, that's not what I meant." Zhou Yi quickly stepped back and waved his hand, "I have hardly given any guidance. It would be nice if I could be the leader of our hospital."

"Okay, Li Zheng." Zhang Shilei also raised his hand and pressed it, "Our chemical academy doesn't do this. Whoever does the research belongs to whoever does it, especially Dean Zhou. He has been committed to giving young people

There is room for talent growth. You may not realize that Dean Zhou has devoted his efforts to competitions and enrollment for decades just to welcome the emergence of talents like you."

After Zhang Shilei finished speaking, he raised his teacup high: "I see what young people say these days...Zhou Yi, the god of immortality."

"Forever dripping God!" Li Zheng became excited after being told, and he raised the tea cup high, "Without Teacher Zhou, there would be no this experiment, Jing Huajing will always drip God!"

"Don't...don't do it like this..." Zhou Yi reluctantly raised his glass, his eyes becoming red, "But...Dean Zhang really understands me...seeing that you and Shi Yang can grow up...I

These years have been worth it! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

After clinking glasses, Zhang Shilei and Zhou Yi discussed the next strategy.

Yes, sending CNS requires a strategy...

Li Zheng was exposed to these things for the first time.

First of all, as CNS reviewers, they are also human beings and are not generalists who are proficient in everything.

Especially the reviewers of the first review are not big shots. They are only responsible for making a preliminary judgment on the value of the paper, and the biggest basis is the author of the paper. If the author is a famous big shot, it means that they can send it directly without reading it.

review.

If it is an unknown author, then you have to do a rough scan and judge whether it is a parallel import or a genuine product based on your feeling. In many cases, even the first reviewer has to Google the author before getting the paper.

Although this judgment basis is relatively crude, it is easy to use. Most people who are not famous at Google do get lucky by publishing parallel articles.

This is the situation. The so-called mentor resources and academic authority, not to mention anything else, just having your name on your thesis are already heavyweight support.

As for the current situation of the Li Zheng Group, all members are unknown. In order to increase the success rate of CNS, it stands to reason that a famous boss should be named.

But Li Zheng himself only accepted Zhou Yi's name.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yi's international reputation is not outstanding, and more of his experience has been devoted to education.

Therefore, even with Zhou Yi's endorsement, the effect is still limited.

Therefore, we can only use the second strategy——

greet.

The so-called greeting means that a respectable boss calls the reviewer and tells him that there is a good paper and he should pay attention to it.

This is another manifestation of tutor resources and academic authority.

Today, the Institute of Chemical Engineering is the most prestigious in the world and is at the forefront.

It's Hu Zengwu again.

There is no way, if you bet in the right direction, you can have everything.

Therefore, what Zhang Shilei meant was that if Li Zheng tried to curry favor with Hu Zengwu as much as possible recently, the hospital would certainly do some work, but it would not be as effective as currying favor with him himself.

Regarding this point, Li Zheng was inevitably a little repelled.

"Otherwise, just publish it in China..." Li Zheng muttered, "Publish it wherever it is not published. It would also be great to improve the level of domestic academic journals."

"No, no, no." Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly, "I have already said that you have to become famous as early as possible. As long as you become famous first, everything else will be easy to handle. I will tell you, post a CNS article, what are you doing in school?

Resources are so needed, and even if you ask for them, many people will be eager to give them to you. Just think of it as a convenience for your future research, and get a CNS first."

"Yes, and..." Zhang Shilei was also unambiguous and said directly, "This is no longer just your business. Our chemical hospital has not released a CNS this year, so just think of it as helping Zhou Yi, helping me, and helping chemical

The hospital also wants to do this. To say the least, there is still a bonus of 500,000 yuan."

"Since both teachers are so insistent, I will try my best." Li Zheng sighed, "But I still won't go out of my way to curry favor with Teacher Hu, and he may not like this."

"Then let's take it step by step." Zhang Shilei said, clapped his legs and stood up, "In that case, you should get the results as soon as possible. Zhou Yi and I will help you review the paper when we have time to ensure that it is

The format satisfies CNS’s taste.”

Li Zheng stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you, Dean Zhang. Since this is our purpose, we will work hard to adapt to the format and taste of CNS."

After a few polite words, Zhou Yi said goodbye to Li Zheng.

Until he walked out of the building, Zhou Yi was still not satisfied.

I stood in the yard and looked at the moonlight, but I still didn’t get in the car.

"Dean Zhou?"

"It's okay, I'll look at it for a while." Zhou Yi raised his head and said, "Let's settle for a while, I need to settle for a while..."

"This...this matter..." Li Zheng raised his head and looked at the moon with him, "You should really be the one to preside over...I don't mind at all, you deserve this, even if you are not considered

The experimental resources we obtained are worth it just because of the hard work you have put into young students over the years."

"Shut up."

"..."

"Haha, you must be scared. Don't say that again in the future."

Zhou Yi said, turning his head and giving a prosperous smile.

"There are so many deans and professors, not all of them are people like me. Some of them want to seize their talents."

"I know you have great ambitions, and you can even talk about improving the level of domestic academic journals, but you have to be famous first."

"Only when you are famous can your talent be your talent."

"Only when you become famous can you scare away those who covet you."

"Only when you become famous can you do the research you want to do without having to compromise or seek resource support from people like me."

"For me, a CNS article is nothing more than the fact that when I go to catch competitions and dig up seeds, those who look down on my scientific research level will have to bow their heads and surrender. I don't care about that at all."

"But for you, a CNS will become the bright moon in the night sky in front of you."

"Anything from Yingpei to the School of Chemistry or any tutor, they all think you are right."

"For me, it is the icing on the cake; for you, it is like the icing on the cake."

"So, it must be yours."

Li Zheng felt extremely restless after hearing this.

I was about to shout out.

No more beeping!

Make a ring, make a big ring! Make it now!

"Okay, there's no need to say anything." Zhou Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Don't feel like you owe me. One day, when someone mentions you, I can tell them with a smile that I dug up this kid Li Zheng.

Didn’t I make a lot of money?”

"We've made a lot of money, Dean Zhou, we've all made a lot of money!"

"Haha." Zhou Yi said with a smile, "But I do have a little bit of selfishness. It's not a request, it's just a selfish idea. Whether you are satisfied or not will not affect the future."

"But it doesn't matter."

"If possible, let that boy Shi Yang do more, and it is best to be the second author." Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "My research has always made limited progress... I always feel that I delayed him..."

"If anything, Shi Yang is the second author."

"That's good." Zhou Yi said and opened the car door, "We have made it clear whether it is public or private, and the rest... just hurry up and do it!"

What else can Li Zheng say?

Get in the car with eyes wide open.
Chapter completed!
