In Yang Rui's impression, when he started to go to college, the scientific research funding began to increase significantly. Initially, top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University started the era of scientific research that was often calculated in billions of yuan, followed by famous universities such as Beijing Institute of Technology and other famous universities entering billions of yuan, and finally some ordinary 985 and 211 staggered into the 100 million yuan club.

In this process, universities that do not earn 100 million yuan in scientific research funds are actually eliminated by the sequence of scientific research or all-round universities.

For normal second-tier schools, unless there are big banners like Yuan Longping attracting funds, it will be difficult to achieve decent results.

A school has at least dozens of professors, with an average of 100 million yuan in research funds, and it still costs less than one million a day. If you don’t give me one million, it is difficult for such schools to attract research elites with strength and pursuit.

In the 1980s, the gap between the rich and the poor between universities was not that big. The most important thing was that the mobility of professors and scholars was very low. It was not like after 2000 that a Changjiang scholar could chase three or five schools behind his butt, and throwing olive branches was like throwing a handkerchief.

Of course, it is very difficult for students to apply for funds in the 1980s or 10s.

This is the relationship between private land and collective land. School teachers are private land. The results they do belong to the school and will not leave easily. Students are collective land. They belong to the school within four years, but it is hard to say after four years. Most of the people who have the opportunity to do projects are senior and junior students, which makes them have no shelf life for even two years, so the school naturally is unwilling to increase their efforts.

If Tang hadn't come forward, Yang Rui wouldn't even have the chance to apply for a project.

After submitting the application, Yang Rui did not run around to apply like his former tutor, and went back to the laboratory to work directly. Whether he could or not is left to fate for the time being.

weekend.

Shi Gui made an appointment with Yang Rui to Zhongguancun to inspect the laboratory project.

Most of the first phase of the building with more than 300 square meters were decorated with imported materials, and the most important ventilation system and water supply and drainage system were also made of high standards.

Similar to biological laboratories and chemical laboratories, highly toxic reagents are often used. According to laboratory regulations, some reagents must be used in fume hoods or glove boxes. The fume hood is a large cabinet with suction and filtration equipment. When used, people sit in front of the fume hood and put their hands into the cabinet to operate. Because the air is pumped inside, most of the harmful gases will be discharged. The glove box is a completely isolated box, including reagents. People operate through pre-installed gloves on the box. It is troublesome and difficult to operate. The advantage is that they can completely isolate people and reagents.

Shi Gui was familiar with the laboratory and proudly introduced: "The protective equipment is imported, and the construction workers I have found are also very good. Some of them are sent by foreign companies. It can be used to ensure you feel at ease."

"Can the price make me feel at ease?" Yang Rui touched the test bench, and was actually quite satisfied.

Shi Gui smiled and said, "You told me not to care about the price."

"Last time, I said, I overspending 20%?" The budget for the initial construction of the laboratory was 920,000, but it was normal to overspending for building such things, and Yang Rui's tone was also normal.

Shi Gui laughed twice and said, "30%.

“Are there more?”

"Old Wei asked to change a good set of freezing centrifuge." Shi Gui pulled out Wei Zhenxue. In terms of experimental equipment, Wei Zhenxue had a say better than him.

Wei Zhen learned to be unshaven and said unconsciously: "It's expensive and easy to use."

"Nonsense." Yang Rui curled his lips and said, "How can it be useful if it costs 90,000 yuan more?"

"Ten thousand dollars." Wei Zhenxue corrected.

"Forget it, just do it." Yang Rui actually wanted good equipment, and this is his own laboratory, so he naturally strives for excellence.

In the laboratory, many things are similar to pipettes, but they look simple, but when they are actually used, they will notice huge differences. For example, if the simplest glove box is low, a sealed box, a piece of transparent glass, two holes, and two insulated gloves will become a carpenter who can do it better by hand. But when it is really useful, when the solvent is not observed, the rough gloves and opening positions are difficult to operate, the anger in my heart is really hard to describe. If I accidentally do the experiment and am forced to rework, the poor scientific research dog really wants to turn into a dog and bit the broken box and the guy who bought the box into pieces.

The so-called top laboratories are often luxury laboratories, the best instruments and the best consumables, so that they can do the best experiments in the industry.

Therefore, most senior laboratories will prohibit scientific research dogs from publishing low-level articles. For example, some biology institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will clearly require the publication of papers with at least SCI impact factor 4.0 or above. As for graduation requirements, it is even more promising.

In advanced laboratories, publishing papers will actually become simpler. At least the experiment is much easier. The better the instruments and the better the consumables, it naturally means more accurate results and smaller errors. Many experiments that are difficult in ordinary laboratories are like building blocks in advanced laboratories.

The scientific community has always been a place full of curiosity. Even if the experiments made with top-notch equipment and consumables are meaningless, scientific research dogs will be extremely curious.

In 1984, if any laboratory buys a scanning tunnel microscope, the researchers in the laboratory will be relieved. If you scan the bread you eat for breakfast, you can publish it in SCI's journals.

It’s like someone bought a Bombardier private jet, and it would be crazy to like it by posting a few interior photos. If a classmate who bought Weimian, even if he made a detailed road test with formulas, there would not be many people paying attention to it.

Yang Rui took his laboratory seriously, looked carefully, and then made a decision, saying: "In the future, our laboratory will also set a threshold, and non-SCI and EI core journals cannot be published."

Wei Zhenxue, who was drooling while touching the super clean workbench, had just started to fantasize about killing all over the journal industry. When he heard Yang Rui's decision, he felt depressed: "What's the best for publishing foreign languages? Chinese journals are as good as those of Chinese journals."

"Of course there is good. The problem is that the frontier of science is not in the Chinese world. Do you want to stay with someone else's butt all the time?" Yang Rui also answered with great righteousness.

Wei Zhenxue argued: "No one publishes articles in Chinese journals, and of course the frontier of science is not in the Chinese world."

"This is the reality. Can all Chinese people change the world by publishing articles in Chinese journals? North Korea is working behind closed doors. Do you think anyone is playing with him?"

"What does this have to do with North Korea?" Wei Zhenxue was puzzled.

Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "If you don't get attention, you are sulking alone, and the cool children will ignore you. There are two solutions. The first one is everyone likes it, and I also like it. You find a cow father to clean up all the cool children and force them to pay attention to you. Unfortunately, most children don't have cow fathers, and those with cow fathers are already cool children. So, for example, you have to get familiar with the cool children first, and then when you are arrogant, then there will be someone to reason. Do you understand?"

"Why do poor children look down on backward children? Everyone is from the same class." Wei Zhenxue raised two fingers, his face full of confusion.

Yang Rui was so happy that he was talking, his expression was stagnant: It was indeed useless to reason with funny people.

"If you don't publish SCI articles, how can you adjust the work?" This time, Yang Rui changed his statement.

Wei Zhenxue obviously considered it for a while, but said in a flash: "If you publish it, you may not be able to adjust your work."

"One or two articles are not possible, three or four articles are not certain, five or seven articles are not certain? If you publish an article with an impact factor of 8.0, all schools in China will rush to go." Yang Rui's statement was a little exaggerated, but it is almost the same. Influence factor 8.0 is the level of Tang Ji. This kind of ordinary professor at Peking University is like a god descending to earth in famous universities. It is not possible to directly ask for a national key laboratory, but if you apply for a provincial key laboratory and play, it is equivalent to saying that for such professors, the school will pay him a salary of thousands of yuan every year, tens of thousands of yuan in funds and a venue, and he can get hundreds of thousands of yuan in funds from the country.

Not enough, Wei Zhenxue is funny, and he has a clear mind. He laughed and said, "I can't even speak English, and I'm still posting 8.0, thank God for 1.0."

"Aren't you learning English? SCI articles are good in themselves. Our laboratory is so good, so how are you embarrassed to publish worse articles?"

"I'm old and can't learn it."

"If you can't learn, just study hard. It's not that you want to go abroad. You just write a paper in professional English. How difficult it is. In this way, if you write a paper at that time, I'll help you see it." Yang Rui is already talking about the boss's job. Determining the direction, arranging work, applying for funds, and checking the papers are almost the main content of the boss. In high-end journals, especially high-end papers in high-end journals, many experiments are team-based. There are often seven or eight first authors, but the most popular one is the corresponding author, which is commonly known as the boss.

Of course, for example, SCI entry-level journals do not require teamwork to do experiments, so there is no need for corresponding authors. Often, there is only one first author. When scientific research dogs meet harsh bosses, they often snatch the title of first authors. Instead, they are bosses in high-level laboratories who do not do low-end experiments, nor do they look down on papers published by scientific research dogs. They can also gain a good reputation in wild free-range industries.

Wei Zhenxue likes to do experiments, otherwise he would not have met Yang Rui for the sake of analyzing the balance, nor would he give up the coal research institute because of Yang Rui's laboratory. The only thing he fears is English.

After hearing what Yang Rui said, Wei Zhenxue thought about it for a while and agreed: "Then do SCI papers, I will also be an experimental assistant for you, and then work in your laboratory."

"You have to apply for a suspension of salary and then sign a contract with Huarui Company. In the future, Huarui Laboratory will pay you a salary, and all your achievements in the laboratory will be handed over to Huarui Laboratory. Finally, the restrictions on competition..." The experiments conducted in Yang Rui's laboratory are all about seeking patents or making direct profits, and contract restrictions are essential.

Wei Zhenxue said indifferently: "Okay, let alone suspending salary and staying at work, you can resign. Isn't it just going to go into the sea? Compared with this laboratory of the Coal Research Institute, garbage is not considered as a matter of comparison."

He rubbed against the ultra-clean workbench and pointed his fingers at a happy rhythm.

Shi Gui raised his thumbs up and smiled, "We will be grasshoppers on a rope in the future."

"You are a grasshopper, I am a chicken." Wei Zhenxue, who would rather raise his head and was proud.
