During the Spring Festival, Zhao Yi did not need to visit relatives, so he had more time to think about this issue. After three days of thinking, he finally cleared up some ideas and was waiting for the subsequent layout.
During this period, as usual, Zhao Yi went to visit Dr. Luo. As long as he came back to celebrate the New Year, this is a must-visit person every year. Although Dr. Luo's status is very different from his own today, the original life-saving grace , he was still grateful, and at the same time, Dr. Luo was the only familiar person in this town besides Zhou Zhigang's family.
On February 5, 1984, the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Yi took the lead in setting off for Tianwen University, while Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu had to wait until before the start of school.
In the past, I used my academic prestige to trick several big guys into coming to teach at Tianwen University. At that time, some of them agreed to come because of the huge investment and advanced experimental equipment.
Some promised to study the project together, but more than three years later, they still have not fulfilled their promise. This time, they took advantage of their free time to get it done.
When he came to Tianwen University, Zhao Yi moved into an apartment arranged for him by the school. It was actually an ordinary teacher's apartment, because it was all built by the school, and the layout and decoration were similar. If the school's teachers were not satisfied with the decoration, , you can also decorate it yourself, but the school does not prohibit it.
After moving in, Zhao Yi personally tidied up the house briefly. Because he had discussed with Principal Jiang the arrangements after the New Year, the house had been cleaned before coming. Now he just put some of his personal belongings in place, and some Arrange the furniture according to your own habits, which makes it easier to use.
Early the next day, Zhao Yi rushed to the school's biology laboratory because he had agreed with several professors to meet here.
There were many people involved this time, such as Baju Benacerraf, who had just won the Nobel Prize in Biomedicine.
This is a Venezuelan-American who previously taught at Harvard University. Before that, he mainly did research on cellular immunity. His award-winning contribution was "the discovery of genetic cell surface structures that control immune responses." He was awarded in 1980.
Of course, in addition to Baju Benacerraf, there are two young scholars. One is Thomas Sudhof, a German, and his wife is Chinese. This time he can come to Tianwen University to teach, and they are also Mrs.'s credit.
He is actually not well-known now, but he won the Nobel Prize in Biochemistry in 2013 and is considered a potential stock.
Another scholar, Randy Schekman, is an American who previously worked at the University of California, Berkeley. Interestingly, his research direction is similar to that of Thomas Sudhoff, which is about the communication of matter and information between cells. , both of whom were winners of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Biomedicine.
The research project that Zhao Yi plans to cooperate with them this time is the research project that the two above won the Nobel Prize. Anyway, if he doesn't take it out, they will study it in the future, so Zhao Yi takes out this research project without any psychological burden. , it can be regarded as returning the property to its original owner.
Coming to the biology laboratory, several people sat in the conference room. Zhao Yi picked up the printed information and handed it to three of them respectively, and then said: "We all know that any object that can operate on its own, whether it is a machine, Or electronic products, even the cells we study, all have their own internal structural components.
There must be some kind of communication between these parts. Just like mechanical products, the traction structure allows the various parts to cooperate seamlessly. Electronic products can understand what they are doing next through digital signals.
As for the most complex biological cells, I think it is the same, but biological cells are too complicated, so complicated that we have not yet understood the details inside.
On the one hand, this is because our previous experimental equipment was not accurate and advanced enough. On the other hand, our research accumulation in this area is not enough.
Now you have been teaching at Tianwen University for some time, and you have a complete understanding of the school's advanced biological experimental equipment. In terms of the advanced nature and accuracy of the equipment, it is definitely the best in the world. I think this is what you can do in This is the reason to continue teaching.
Now that the experimental equipment has met certain conditions, I think it is time to conduct research in this area.
You can take a look at the information I posted. This is a question I have thought about for a while, that is, how cells transmit signals. I think the research topic is very meaningful.
If you understand these, you can explain the brain's communication methods and hormone release, as well as some phenomena of the immune system. "
When the three of them heard Zhao Yi's words, they simply spoke from their hearts. Because for all three of them, this topic was related to their own research directions, so it was easy for them to start researching it.
The three of them couldn't help but open the information given by Zhao Yi. Many of the ideas in it were inferred from macro phenomena to micro phenomena, and from physical phenomena to biological phenomena.
Although no experimental proof was given, there was a logical reasoning process, which made the three of them feel confused. It turns out that biology can also reason like this
As a researcher, the most painful thing is that there is no research direction. The entire research is like buying a lottery ticket, and most of them bring disappointing results.
Only a few lucky people can discover some phenomena, study something, and then become big guys in this field.
As for Zhao Yi's information, if they can analyze it carefully and apply it to their daily research, they can avoid this phenomenon.
Although the reasoning results are not necessarily correct, it can point them to a research direction. Of course, whether the results are correct and how accurate they are depends on whether their reasoning process is rigorous. Zhao Yi "cannot help" them. .
After the three of them read it, they began to discuss some questions on the material with Zhao Yi. Because Zhao Yi compiled the material, they had some things they didn't understand, so Zhao Yi could only answer it.
After an afternoon of discussion, this research direction was unanimously approved, because all their doubts were answered by Zhao Yi, giving them full confidence in the research on this topic.
The next day was about designing the experimental procedures. This was actually not Zhao Yi’s strong point, so it was mainly done by these three people. Zhao Yi just told him some unreasonable things through Zhou Ling, and carried out the experimental procedures of the three of them. Correction.
After the entire experimental steps are designed, the rest is hard work. You need to experiment on each step, and even experiment hundreds or thousands of times until you get close to the experimental results you expected.
It is impossible for Zhao Yi to participate in this kind of time-consuming work, and the rest of the matter will be left to them. He plans to just slap his butt and run away.
Zhao Yi also estimated that they would not conduct experiments throughout the process. In the end, they would still be handed over to those students, especially the junior students. They already have a certain theoretical foundation and have done some simple experiments. Catch them There is nothing better than working as a coolie.
Of course, these students are not without gains. First, they understand the design principles of experimental procedures. Second, they can get good hands-on opportunities. Third, they can obtain the recognition of big bosses. Then they can study for graduate students or even doctoral students under these big bosses.
Zhao Yi was sure that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the experimental procedures they designed together. As long as a sufficient number of experiments were done, the final results would definitely not deviate from the results of his own reasoning, so he had no pressure to escape from it.
After escaping from the biology laboratory, Zhao Yi came to the physics laboratory. The person he fooled was a Swedish physicist named Kai Sigbarn.
In 1981, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "contribution to the development of high-resolution electron spectrometers." Zhao Yi was able to trick him mainly by allowing him to study a space telescope, similar to the Hubble Telescope launched by the United States in later generations.
So as soon as Zhao came here, he had already prepared the relevant information, of course not all the design details, otherwise it would be boring.
If all the work has been completed by himself, then the boss must not be very interested, because the follow-up work is actually a hard work, and there is no challenge for these people.
If you want to win the hearts of these big guys, you can only provide some directional research information, such as what functions this space telescope needs, what accuracy it needs to achieve, etc., and then let them fill in the details.
The process is similar to that of a biological laboratory. First, the information is sent to them, and then there is a lot of reasoning, especially reasoning about space phenomena.
Only when you want to observe what space phenomena can you know what observation functions a space telescope should have, otherwise you won't know what the space telescope is going to do.
After finishing this project, Zhao Yi also handed over a project to a domestic scholar named Shi Gaolin, 44 years old, a professor at Tianwen University.
This project is very simple. It is the discovery of graphene material that Zhao Yi planned to make himself. Later, he gained enough reputation due to his research on Fermat's last theorem, so he did not take out this thing.
Now I plan to benefit from the professors at my own school, which will also enhance the academic reputation of Tianwen University.
At this time, I took out the graphene material and discovered that this project came out, mainly because my own company needed to study graphene chips later.
Nowadays, due to the intensified competition between semiconductor companies and European and American semiconductor companies, the previously mentioned Moore's Theorem has expired, and the development speed is much faster than in previous generations.
If it continues to develop at this rate, it will only take more than 20 years to reach the physical limit of silicon-based chips. At that time, a new material will be needed to replace silicon-based materials, and graphene is an ideal s material.
After Tianwen University publishes a paper on the discovery of graphene, semiconductor companies will follow up the research. Of course, if Zhao Yi participates, the research will be very fast and results can be produced in a short time.
But Zhao Yi planned to let them study slowly first. They could not do everything by themselves. They needed to cultivate the research literacy of their own employees and improve their research level.
This is Zhao Yi's conscious effort to get rid of the dependence of his affiliated companies on him. In the future, there will definitely be more and more affiliated companies. If he thinks about having to intervene in everything by himself like before, he will probably not be able to do all the work. (End of chapter)
