"Everyone cheer up, I'll invite supper." Richard grabbed the translator and paraded his lab.

"Yes." The experimental dogs answered with a hint of sadness.

Of course it is a good thing for someone to invite to dinner, but Richard's dinner means that overtime will be very long.

Work in the laboratory consumes a lot of physical and mental strength because I have to concentrate for a moment and feel very tired very quickly. In ordinary laboratories, they close at 9 o'clock in the evening because most people leave after get off work.

Richard Labs won't do that.

Richard was so anxious.

In order to continue the second phase of the potassium ion channel-related experiment, Richard sold his old face to two.

After the first phase of the scientific research race with Yang Rui, the first thing that Peking University has agreed to be gone was the scientific research fund. Richard tried several times but got 30% of the previous one. The advantage was that he got it in advance and did not need to obtain it based on the scientific research progress. After having this money, Richard started the project, and then looked for money all over the world

The University of California Berkeley is one of the top two super-award universities in the world. It is globally, especially in developed countries in Europe and the United States. Although it is weaker than top universities like Harvard University and Cambridge University, it is still stronger than those of Tokyo University. Richard, with such a brand, and some of the capital accumulated in the past, finally got full sponsorship before selling out his old face.

And this time, if you can't win at a race speed, Richard may not be able to recover for ten years.

In addition to the difficulties in scientific research funding, Richard's reputation is also in jeopardy.

As a professor at a prestigious university, Richard's original scientific research environment was very good. Although California Berkeley is a world-class university, Richard is not a good person. His reputation guarantees his status at the University of Berkeley, in extreme cases, California Berkeley has to worry about Chad's job change.

After all, well-known professors like this are all the best in their respective fields. If you lose one, you will need to spend a lot of time to fill the gap.

However, scientific research racing is the easiest to increase fame and the easiest to decrease fame. If he competes with a laboratory in a prestigious school, Richard will lose if he loses. However, he has lost to a laboratory in China and will be criticized more.

To a certain extent, Richard's value is in a downward state. It would be fine if he lost to Yang Rui once. If he continued to lose and could not find the place again, he would become a well-known failed professor.

If it is possible to start over, Richard will definitely not compete with Yang Rui again, which is too unfavorable. It is normal to win, but if you lose, you will be unlucky. But before that, Richard never took Yang Rui seriously.

"The experiment is ready." At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Anqing reported. He is now the best among experimental dogs, and is highly valued by Richard, but if possible, Xu Anqing would rather not be valued.

Richard responded, wiped his face, stood in front of the test bench, put on his fierce eyes, and began to check the preparations before the experiment.

In order to race against time, Richard has broken the original experimental cycle and made the experimental dogs prepare for the next wave of experiments. He himself can rest if he can, and he will endure if he can't rest.

Xu Anqing sorted out the table a little, stood on both sides of the laboratory with Richard's doctoral students, and began to cooperate with Richard to do the main experiment. To be honest, such a long-term experiment trained him, but the process was too difficult. In fact, Xu Anqing's patience was almost wiped out.

"Work harder, our experiment is still going well. According to the current progress, we are likely to make huge progress within one month." Richard cheered the members of the laboratory again.

Xu Anqing let out a weak voice, and the other experimental dogs were in similar condition.

They work longer and are more tired.

Richard saw that this would not work.

After thinking about it, Richard improvised the speech: "I know, you are very, very tired now, but I hope you know that your opponents must be very tired too. More importantly, what we are doing now is a world-class project, and teams around the world can do what we are like now, and there are almost no such opportunities. You should be proud of your experience today, gentlemen."

After he said this, Xu Anqing and others really straightened their chests. Nowadays, Chinese people still believe in world-class things.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more off-topic words, turned around and prepared to start again.

It is not easy to be a laboratory boss. On the one hand, we must constantly find money and control expenses, on the other hand, we must work hard to promote scientific research progress, and finally, we must resolve personnel disputes and adjust the mood of members.

It is even more difficult for Richard to be in China. He was forced to this day. He had no choice but to keep up with it.

Press the power switch on the right side of the experiment table, and at this time, a Chinese-style English sentence floated over: "Our main opponent is Yang Rui."

Richard turned around quickly, but saw that it was the experimental assistant Zhu Jiahao.

"Our main opponent is Don Concentration Laboratory." Richard corrected it seriously.

In the past, Richard said this, and no one else would refute it. But now, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days has made Xu Anqing angrily say: "Yang Rui's project is Yang Rui's project. He has a sign from Tang Ji Laboratory. Others don't know it, don't we know it yet?"

Richard's face suddenly turned black. Losing to the lab in the third world was already shameful enough. Losing to a student in a third world country was simply a shame, so he had always been unwilling to mention Yang Rui.

Xu Anqing mentioned it, and Richard couldn't get furious, so he had to hide the fire in his heart and said, "No matter who is hanging whose sign, our goal is to make our own things and complete them as quickly as possible. People will not care about the losers."

Xu Anqing laughed in his heart and brought out his face: "Be your own thing?"

Richard's scientific research clues are provided by Yang Rui, and it is quite ironic to say that it is doing his own things.

Professor Richard blushed, pretending not to hear it, and bowed his head to work.

I don’t know how long it took, but the phone rang “Dingling”.

"What's the matter?" Richard's doctoral student Connors picked up the phone, and he was not very polite tone, and he was also annoyed enough.

"I am Kamas. I just got the topic of my speech from the International Medical and Biological Engineering Conference. There is a paper on mutagenesis gene analysis of potassium ion channels. I will notify you in advance. Tell Richard that he owe me once."

"Who is the author?"

"Yang Rui, Tang Concentration Laboratory of Peking University, China, second author Huang Mao, third author Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei Zhenxue." After the phone was finished, he hung up.

Connors was stunned and did not hang up until the phone buzzed.

"What's the matter? Can't the reagent be delivered?" Richard lowered his head and asked.

Connors felt a little sipped, and then he said, "It's Professor Camas' phone number."

"Camas of Los Angeles?"

"He is coming to China for a meeting, right?" Richard thought the other party was here to find a receptionist.

"No." Connors shook his head slightly and said, "Professor, come here first."

Richard frowned and looked up: "Wait a moment."

"OK."

As if nothing happened, Richard did another half an hour of experiments before wiping his hands, he went to the corner of the laboratory and asked, "What's the matter?"

Connors lowered his head and said the call he had just received, and said, "Maybe the news is not sure yet."

"It's not wrong, Kamas is a member of the organizing committee." This is the advantage of European and American researchers. Interpersonal relationships often work. If the two's test progress is almost the same, Richard might be able to speed up the progress and catch up.

"Have he talked about the other party's progress?" Richard asked again.

"I didn't say anything else, I just hung up."

"It's a very troublesome thing to leak information, so don't publish it to the public." Richard thought for a while and said, "Let's organize the experiments we have made and attend the meetings."

“Is the current progress OK?”

"Yang Rui's progress cannot be very fast. In just a few months, he at most induces gene mutations and then figures out the properties." Richard was a little guilty, but he insisted on saying this, and it was impossible to let him admit defeat directly. This experiment has suppressed him too much money and reputation.
