After filling out the laboratory application report, Xu Yun stopped disturbing Tian Liangwei, found an excuse, got up and left the medical center.
The approval report for medicinal chemistry laboratories usually takes 7-15 working days, almost two weeks including weekends, but with the intervention of Tian Liangwei, an academician-level boss, it is estimated that it can be completed in three to four days.
As for the funds, they will be transferred to a card opened for the public account of the School of Life Sciences. Xu Yun needs to list an expenditure item when withdrawing it, and it must be reviewed regularly.
Normal doctoral supervisors would be much more lenient, and some would even go so far as to directly transfer credit to a card called the project team, which is actually a private account, thus giving rise to a lot of dark sides.
well, let's get back to business.
What Xu Yun needs to break through this time is the binding barrier of the fourth generation imidacloprid, and the process is very complicated.
Therefore, in addition to the experimental site, there is also an indispensable core element that needs to be solved in the entire process:
That’s researchers!
It is true that Xu Yun is a top student, but no matter how talented he is, he still needs helpers. In many cases, the two complement each other.
For example, Mavericks has John Conduit, Einstein has Shirley Wright, Dirac has Taraji Reddy, Melody has Jacqueline and Cabriolet, etc...
Although there is a mysterious aura, whether Xu Yun wants to simply engage in scientific research or start a business in the future, he will definitely need the assistance of some powerful helpers.
This will be true in the long run, and it will certainly be the same now. It is simply unrealistic to fight alone.
As for the candidates for this experiment...
Xu Yun actually has several target candidates.
It's very simple to get started, just call a few graduate students to help. The research of biological poisons has always been a general direction, and many people who want to do related experiments have no chance.
After that, everyone had a meal that cost four to five hundred per person. If there was a technological breakthrough and a red envelope was given, I think many current students would be willing to sign up.
After all, Xu Yun's application for Tian Liangwei's auxiliary project can be regarded as a good project on his resume. If he meets someone with a thicker skin, he might just mention it as a national-level project on his resume.
In addition to his tool man, Xu Yun also plans to find a strong partner.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help but stop, found a quiet corner at random, and made a phone call.
"Dududu——"
After a while, a male voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hello? Lao Xu?"
"Well, it's me."
"What's going on? I'm at the badminton hall with my school girl."
"Old Huo Big Bone, I'm going to treat you, will you come?"
"...okok, wait for me for fifteen minutes! See you at the gate of the South District!"
"...."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yun couldn't help but shook his head:
"This guy......"
Then he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, turned around and walked toward the South District.
After about twelve or thirteen minutes like this, when Xu Yun arrived at the entrance of the South District, a powerful shout suddenly came from behind him:
"Old Xu! Old Xu!"
Xu Yun looked around and saw a man with a shaved head not far away waving to him.
This man is about twenty-seven to eight years old. The collar of his sportswear is slightly open, and the cuffs of his shirt are rolled up to the middle of his arms. He has short hair, a Chinese character face, and handsome eyebrows. He is a bit handsome, but he is better than the readers.
It's much, much worse.
This person is Xu Yun's best friend, and he is also a PhD student in the School of Life Sciences.
Upon hearing Qiu Sheng's greeting, Xu Yun raised his hand in greeting, walked quickly to his side, and glanced behind him curiously:
"Lao Qiu, didn't you go to play badminton with your school girl? Why didn't you see the racket or the school girl?"
Qiu Sheng trotted all the way, and there was already some sweat on his forehead. He shook his collar and said:
"The racket was sent back to the dormitory by the school girl. By the way, Lao Xu, are you kidding me? Are you really treating me?"
"...."
Xu Yun glanced at this guy speechlessly, and sighed with a haggard heart:
"Please! Let's go!"
Laohuo Big Bones is one of the most famous snack bars around HKUST.
This is an Anhui cuisine restaurant. The owner is very enthusiastic and the price is quite affordable. It costs only fifty yuan per person.
Moreover, when you secretly show your HKUST Card when checking out, the boss will press 0.85 on the computer for you.
Many people in HKUST jokingly say that the old and hot guy in the South District is almost single-handedly resisting the entire snack street at the east gate of the West District.
The store of Lao Huo Big Bone is at the intersection of Tongcheng South Road and Shangpai Road. Xu Yun and Xu Yun walked for about ten minutes and arrived outside the store.
"Boss, one pot of bone soup, one each of Neptune Vermicelli and Beef Roast Oxford, and a pickled cucumber!"
After entering the store, Xu Yun familiarly announced the names of several dishes, then walked to the beverage cabinet and took four cans of Budweiser. He returned to his seat and clicked off the lid:
"If we don't have Huiquan, we'll just stick with Budweiser."
Xu Yun and Qiu Sheng are both from Fujian Province. They have liked to drink Huiquan beer since they were young. However, after coming to Luzhou to study, they had fewer opportunities to see the beer in their hometown. Most of the time it was either Xuejin or Budweiser.
This kind of restaurant, which is specially used for campus gatherings, serves food very quickly. Within a few minutes, all the dishes Xu Yun ordered were served.
After the food was served, Qiu Sheng first took a spoon, put it into the heating pot and stirred it, then picked up a small piece of cucumber and crunched it into pieces, and asked:
"Lao Xu, tell me, what's the matter?"
Xu Yun looked at him with a smile and joked:
"Why can't I just win the big prize and get rich and treat you to a nice meal?"
Qiu Sheng made a sound and said disdainfully:
"You have that African face? You can see the moon in three numbers. Only a ghost can believe that you can win the lottery. Okay, okay, tell me anything quickly, otherwise I won't feel comfortable eating."
When Xu Yun saw this, he stopped joking, coughed tactically, and described what happened between him and Tian Liangwei in detail:
"...That's pretty much it. The teacher has already submitted the application form, and the research team will be established in about three days."
Qiu Sheng held a tube bone in one hand and hummed the bone marrow. After hearing this, he looked at him in surprise:
"Okay, kid, how did you come up with the idea of putting transition metals in?
Pheromones contain alkenes. If it can really cyclize CH3 in a directional manner...
Good guy, you’re really up to something!”
Xu Yun picked up a can of Budweiser, took a sip, and said:
"What do you think, would you like to come and help me?
You are more familiar with the guidance group auxiliary field than I am. If you really want to succeed, I will give you a second paper."
The second author, as the name suggests, is the second author.
In addition to the first author and corresponding author, the second author is the third most important role in a paper.
Qiu Sheng is Xu Yun's best friend since high school, and he is also a genius who entered the juvenile class at the first try. In Xu Yun's few memories of his previous life, Qiu Sheng helped him a lot when he was at his lowest.
He was able to successfully transition into the tea industry later on, thanks to the connections introduced by Qiu Sheng and the funds he lent.
Xu Yun will be responsible for the main research tasks in this project. The first work must and can only be signed by himself, and the corresponding author must be Tian Liangwei. Therefore, Qiu Sheng naturally has only two works to choose from.
Qiu Sheng didn't care much about this. He said without much hesitation:
"Okay, but you have to give me two more days. I have a project here that is still being finalized. I will go to the laboratory next week and try to finish it before Thursday."
Xu Yun nodded and agreed happily:
"No problem, I'm not too anxious about this matter. I can still afford to wait for a few days."
Qiu Sheng took another bite of the meat bone and said with a smile:
"Tsk, tsk, if the fourth generation imidacloprid can be produced, maybe it can be put on PLOSOne, but the page fee for this thing is not cheap, it is 1,400 US dollars, and there is no way to apply for page exemption in China. I say you finally ask Director Wada, this
Can the college reimburse some of the money..."
Seeing Qiu Sheng talking eloquently, Xu Yun, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but shook his head slightly in his heart.
Lao Qiu, Lao Qiu, you have made a mistake. How could my goal be a spam journal like PLOSOne?
After all, what I want to study this time is actually not the fourth generation imidacloprid, but the fifth generation...
