Chapter 1226: Takeaway

"I'm back." Yang Rui called Huarui's crown and sent himself back to Shichahai's mansion.

Nowadays, Peking University doesn't have many small cars of its own, and it's hard for Yang Rui to buy a car with scientific research funds. When he occasionally needs it, he simply asks Huarui's car to come over, and it's easy to use.

"I'm back. It's so early today." Jing Yulan also just got off work, sitting under the grape trellis in the yard and reading a book. The grape trellis is newly planted, and there are several lamps next to it. It is convenient for reading and going out at night. .

Yang Rui threw the bag on the shelf, changed into a pair of looser cloth shoes, and said: "Today I will rest early, and I will start work tomorrow."

"Start work again? Do you want to start a new project again? So soon?" Jing Yulan was also familiar with the process of Yang Rui's research institute, so she heard it all at once.

Yang Rui nodded, sighed, and said: "There is no way, if you don't start a new project, people will catch up, and all the efforts you put in before will be in vain, who can bear it."

"I thought you could rest for a few days." Jing Yulan was quite helpless.

"It's like this in scientific research. You can take a vacation, but you don't have a vacation. Sometimes when you take a nap, you will find that the world has changed colors. We have spent so much energy now to make a conformation, but as soon as the paper is handed in Go out, everyone can see it, and if someone makes the crystal structure first, I will vomit blood." Yang Rui's cruel cognition of the scientific research community is also beyond his cognition.

Not all Nobel Prizes are in highly competitive fields.

However, it is very easy to win Nobel Prizes in highly competitive fields.

The field of g protein-coupled receptors is a typical high-competition circle, such as Heng Matsushima, who is aware of the research progress of the ion channel laboratory entirely through the purchase of instruments from the ion channel laboratory. This kind of exploration mode cannot be seen in non-key scientific research fields.

Concentration of resources and concentration of attention have resulted in fierce competition in key areas.

The current international scientific research competition model is actually very similar to a football league.

Assuming that making a 100% clear conformation is equivalent to winning the league championship, but, as far as the entire league is concerned, is it only the team that wins the championship that pays the cost?

The teams in the entire league actually paid the cost. However, after all, there is only one team that wins the league championship. Therefore, the value of the league championship cannot be measured by the investment of the champion team, but by the cost of the entire league. Furthermore, it is not enough to measure the cost of the top league alone, and it must be measured by the cost of the entire league. The cost of going to lower leagues, because of the existence of many lower leagues,

In fact, it is to supply raw materials to the upper league.

Of course, whether it is a team that has not won a championship or a team in a low-level league, it is not without gain, just like a scientific research laboratory that has not produced the final results, they have also obtained some results, whether it is published After writing a thesis, or training the researchers, there are always some gains. Some low-level laboratories are even more open-minded. For example, many colleges and universities below the 985 average level have never thought about putting up a big satellite. They are in the low-level leagues. Even if they participate in this fierce battle, they can't ask for more Just make some achievements, and then publish one or two advanced articles.

However, all these compensatory plans cannot cover up the powerful Matthew effect.

What the champion gets is not only the glory of the winner, but also the flesh and blood of the loser.

What the loser gets is not even consolation.

Although Yang Rui didn't want to keep doing scientific research, he couldn't help himself. Fortunately, his thesis has not been published yet, and the day when the thesis is handed in is the beginning of a new round of competition. This gave Yang Rui himself a little leisure.

He shook his head, and sat under the grape arbor, and said, "I'll take a break today, and I can come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It may not be the day after tomorrow, but I won't be back until next week."

"Working overtime again?"

"The researchers in the lab will start working overtime tomorrow, so I can have two more days of leisure, which is not bad." Yang Rui can actually press the paper for a longer time, so as to buy more time for the next stage of the project, but, The risks of doing so are enormous.

First of all, other top laboratories in the same field are masters with abundant resources. They will not wait for your paper to come out, but will run the project like a trial run. In fact, most of the top laboratories now run g protein-coupled receptor projects, but the progress is slow, and Yang Rui took the lead.

Second, Yang Rui concealed some project findings, and other laboratories may have done the same.

So, now that the news has spread, if Yang Rui continues to suppress the publication of the paper, the first problem they will face is that Gu Qiang's "one pot stir" invention may be preempted by others.

In addition to the "one pot stir" discovery, the ion channel laboratory has accumulated more discoveries, but has not yet published papers. Considering that these papers are of great value, it is naturally impossible for Yang Rui to let them be easily eroded. Not to mention, these papers are the greatest gains and rewards for Su Xiankai and other researchers.

To some extent, publishing papers first is the biggest task now.

Although Jing Yulan didn't understand Yang Rui's work very well, but she worked in the university, and she knew the busyness of scientific research by her ears and eyes, and even regarded it as a normal situation. After asking a few words, she smiled and said: "Then I I'll make beef for you tomorrow, it's too late tonight, let's have something light, how about porridge?"

"Okay." Yang Rui is not a person who likes to drink porridge very much, but the porridge cooked by Jing Yulan is not bad, but it can barely handle the porridge.

Jing Yulan herself likes to drink porridge. Seeing Yang Rui's appearance, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "If you want it, I'll cook a meat dish."

"Don't be so troublesome, let Shigui's store deliver it, and ask the master to make fish-flavored shredded pork and mapo tofu, and take it out manually." Yang Rui added at the end, a little funny.

Despite the fact that there are many self-employed people in the restaurant business, none of them are willing to deliver food.

The restaurant business is really good now, as long as you are willing to start a restaurant, and you can start a restaurant, it is not difficult to sit half full, not to mention the customers. Coupled with the small number of chefs, it is difficult to hire people, and the dine-in business can't be done, let alone take-out.

On the contrary, the former state-run restaurants, if they had enough face, could occasionally invite the master to make a table, just like inviting Yu Xianyao to the laboratory. Yang Rui has money and face, so he can be invited, but if he wants to, he can be invited, which is also a bit troublesome.

Of course, the main reason why takeout is not popular is that everyone has no money in their hands, and it is difficult to communicate.

In the eyes of later generations, there are too many ways to order food, from the most basic phone calls and text messages, to QQ WeChat, and more complicated online ordering and mobile apps, one counts as the other. Very easy way.

But in China in 1986, private individuals who could afford telephones were basically concentrated in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In the provincial capitals, except for the families of officials, there were almost no telephones.

Not to mention small private restaurants, not to mention whether there is money or not, the conditions for installation may not be met.

As a result, until now, the only restaurant where Yang Rui can order takeout casually is a restaurant in which he owns a share, which makes Yang Rui feel amused. How much profit is not as much convenience as it can bring.

Jing Yulan has been studying for a long time, and she was not very good at kitchen things. Speaking of which, she also felt that the dishes made by the master chef were more delicious, so she called after thinking about it.

Yang Rui casually picked up a book from the window and lay down under the grape arbor.

After design and decoration, the courtyard house not only retains the harmonious beauty of the traditional courtyard house, but also makes many modern convenience modifications. Yang Rui likes the window wall bookcase, and the half wall that has been demolished has become a rotatable wooden bookcase. , both inside and outside the house can be easily read.

Yang Rui's habit of reading is to count what he sees, and he doesn't insist on finishing a book. He is the same now. He takes out a book, opens it, and reads it with gusto.

Jing Yulan came back from the call and saw Yang Rui stretching out comfortably on the recliner, she couldn't help smiling, picked up the novel she had just read halfway, and lay down next to Yang Rui.

The two are next to each other, reading their own books, but they feel comfortable physically and mentally.

I don't know how long it took, the sky was getting dark, and the knock on the door sounded.

Yang Rui looked at his watch and said with a smile, "It's pretty fast today."

The cafeteria is opened in Wudaokou, and it will take a while to deliver it by car.

Jing Yulan jumped up and said, "I'll go and open the door."

She was embarrassed to let people see herself and Yang Rui lying down. In fact, how can she see that this Shichahai house has two entrances, the front entrance is used to isolate outsiders, and the middle door is closed. There is nothing to see outside the gate.

"I'll set up a table and eat in the yard." Yang Rui also put down the book, and he was hungry after a busy day.

Half a minute later, the door opened, and Jing Yulan's surprised voice came: "Yang Rui, it's a gift."

"What gift?" Yang Rui was a little surprised.

"Mr. Yang Rui, I'm Heng Matsushima, and I brought you some new year's goods." Professor Matsushima spoke English, but his voice and tone were as gentle as if a prince went to the countryside to explain the truth to the common people.

Yang Rui looked up at the sky and thought to himself, it's still far away from the New Year, how can there be a New Year's gift now.

Matsushima Heng didn't care about this, and shouted louder: "Mr. Yang Rui, I have someone move things in first, and the driveway outside is too crowded."

While speaking, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
