Chapter 63
Chapter 63 Written in English
Yang Rui doesn’t know what Wei Zhenxue’s research level is, but he has to admit that this guy is a good teacher.
No matter how low-level questions the students ask him, Wei Zhenxue can answer with a blank face. Although the students do well, he is still blank, but in the face of zero-experience students, Wei Zhenxue’s patience is obviously more valuable.
In addition, Wei Zhenxue also took the initiative to act as an experimental assistant for Yang Rui. Although it was to weigh the weight of the substance, or do some titration operations, it did reduce Yang Rui’s workload.
The mechanical analytical balance is not easy to operate. It takes half an hour to weigh ten times eight times. Although the students who were helping in the laboratory, Yang Rui didn’t dare to give them any part of the experiment procedure except for tasks such as cleaning test tubes.
Unlike the students of later generations, the students of West Castle Middle School have basically not done physics and chemistry experiments, and suddenly transitioned to a measurement accuracy of one ten thousandth. That requirement is too high. This is equivalent to letting students who are just starting to learn football play in official games.
The essay that Yang Rui is about to write is an accurate measurement. If you make a mistake with a decimal point, it will not be a fame, but a shame.
It was also because Wei Zhenxue was able to help, and Yang Rui did not have a competent laboratory assistant, so he resisted his usual low EQ nonsense and did not rush it back. Instead, he found an empty berth in the dormitory and covered it. For his three meals.
Although with a weak sense of guilt and excitement of using cheap labor, when Wei Zhenxue persisted for four days and still had no intention of going back, Yang Rui couldn’t stand it at first.
While the materials in his hand were used up, Yang Rui sat next to Wei Zhenxue, coughing clear, and said: “Researcher Wei, don’t you need to do your own experiments?”
“Just call me old Wei.” Wei Zhenxue carefully operated the analytical balance as if he was doing his own experiment.
Yang Rui touched his forehead and said, “Old Wei.”
“Ok.”
“You don’t go back for so long, what about the experiments in your research institute?”
“Anyway, the analytical balance is broken, and my experiment can’t go on.” Wei Zhenxue answered naturally.
Is the balance so important? Yang Rui said suspiciously: “The analytical balance is broken. You can do the other parts first. When the funding arrives in the second half of the year, you can buy another analytical balance. The funding of the Institute of Coal Research should not be particularly tight. ”
“Ok.”
“My experiments here are also one after another. No matter how long you stay, I won’t borrow the balance for you.” Yang Rui changed direction.
Wei Zhenxue said calmly, “I know, it can be seen that you still have to prepare for the next experiment in advance.”
Yang Rui was surprised and inexplicably, and said, “Do you know you are not going back?”
“What are you going to do? Go to the chemical store every day to look at the instrument packaging?” Wei Zhenxue didn’t slow down at all. He recorded the numbers while speaking, and then went to the cabinet to get the reagents, preparing to weigh the next set, leaving Yang Rui alone. .
Yang Rui chased after him: “Your experiment has stopped?”
“Otherwise, what do you think I ran to the chemical store for?” Wei Zhenxue said after a pause, “Why, are you in the way?”
“No, no, you helped me a lot, I feel a little bit sorry, thinking I can’t delay you…”
“You can’t delay me.” Wei Zhenxue’s eyebrows drooped on both sides, forming a horoscope, and said in a heavy tone: “Wait for you to find out. Some people don’t see others well. I published two articles last year. I changed the laboratory. In fact, even if the analytical balance is not broken, there is always an instrument that is going to be broken. Then, I still have no money to buy the instrument, and the result is the same. They don’t want to see me, and I don’t want to see them Face, it’s better to stay with you.”
If this is an outsider, you might think that this is an overwhelming relationship among colleagues. Yang Rui looked at Wei Zhenxue with suspicion, and thought: Just for a guy with low EQ like you, do you still need to change the laboratory? Do you still need to sacrifice an instrument? Moreover, where is the instrument so easy to break, if it breaks in the second half of the year, and the funds are paid, isn’t it a poor toss?
Thinking of this, Yang Rui looked at Wei Zhenxue up and down, and said, “You said something strange, right?”
Wei Zhenxue was still in the midst of the deep grief of the people. He was seen with a guilty conscience and mumbled: “I just told the truth, the director does nothing every day. When he sees others about to publish a paper, he ran to help, and then You have to write your own name, sometimes you have to be the first author, all of this. Who will do research attentively in the future? I said a few words about him, but he was angry.”
Of course they are going to get angry. This is called irritated into anger. The so-called curse is not short… Yang Rui looked at the uncle Ambi in front of him and sighed: “You are lucky to have been born 30 years early, and you can enter the institute with this awareness… ”
Wei Zhenxue asked, “What kind of enlightenment?”
Yang Ruiyi asked sternly: “Are we doing research to write papers and earn fame?”
“of course not.”
“Well, the answer is very good. Since you are not for fame, I will not write your name in my paper. I will be free for the second or third author.” Yang Rui smiled and notified Wei Zhenxue.
Wei Zhenxue opened his mouth, lowered his head, and said, “I know, I didn’t stay here just to be a second author.”
“I know, you are trying to hide quietly.” Make sure that you don’t need to share the authorship rights, Yang Rui is still in a good mood, and greets exceptionally: “It’s really okay if you don’t go to the research institute? Will you not be expelled from work?”
“My father-in-law is from the Academy of Coal Science, let him tell the director.” Wei Zhenxue handed over his background indifferently.
Yang Rui was shocked: You idiot, did you know to find a parent when you were absent from work? Why did you go early, you don’t know if you asked him to get you an analytical balance, is it because your ethics can’t tolerate others’ gossip?
Yang Rui feels helpless for the characters that only appear in this kind of high-level drama, and he is reluctant to be the only experimental assistant at present. He thought about it and said: “Well, I will pay you 50 yuan a month, and then Find a place that is more comfortable for you. You can be my laboratory assistant temporarily. You can also use the things in the laboratory. If I am not involved, I will not sign the papers you have written.”
“Okay.” Wei Zhenxue didn’t mean to kneel down and kowtow at all, as if he was the protagonist.
Yang Rui sighed and said, “Tell me which papers you have written.”
“”Comparison of Tungsten Solubility”, “Utilization of Bituminous Coal”, “Several Ways to Improve the Utilization Rate of Bituminous Coal”…” Wei Zhenxue said in a series of words, there are a total of eight papers, all with a strong name of 80 The style of domestic essays in the era.
Yang Rui felt more relieved. Hearing the name of the paper, he would know his level. This Wei Zhenxue is a character whose heart is higher than the sky and life is thinner than the paper. Later, he will be at the level of a third-rate graduate student.
Fortunately, it is not a big cow, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with. Yang Rui thought about it again, EQ is so low that it is not easy to become a big cow, just like the amazing Nikola Tesla, who was eventually tortured to death by Edison, who was full of copper.
With a casual compliment, Yang Rui released Wei Zhenxue, continued to check his experimental results, and began to write the first part of the thesis.
To measure the absorption coefficient of q10 by ultraviolet spectrophotometry, you must first have an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. This thing was still a valuable item in the 1980s. It was larger than the freezer in the store, and more valuable than the freezer. Yang Rui held tens of thousands. All the bucks were spent, and it was not enough to buy such one.
Therefore, Yang Rui had to find a way to borrow other people’s UV spectrophotometers from other research institutes.
As a high school student, it is naturally a bit difficult to borrow such an important instrument rashly. Yang Rui had to write a part of the paper first, and then consider borrowing the equipment to do experiments.
On the other hand, although it is not difficult to re-measure the absorption coefficient of q10, it is necessary to prove that the existing absorption coefficient in the literature is wrong, especially the absorption coefficient listed in the foreign literature is wrong. instruction of.
Yang Rui thought about writing for a while, but felt uncomfortable. From time to time, he looked at the “Organ Biochemical Pharmacy” at hand. It was also unsustainable.
This journal was subscribed by Xibao Roulian Factory, and Yang Rui borrowed a few as a reference for writing his thesis.
The format of essays in the 1980s is very different from that of 30 years later, and the biggest difference is the difference between the writing of English essays and Chinese essays.
As a tragic graduate student in science and engineering, Yang Rui’s previous papers were all in English. There is no other way. The brand of domestic journals has been smashed by human relations. It can be said that there are few valuable copies left. There are ten people who publish articles on it. They have mixed titles.
A slightly better school will require graduate students to publish at least one area-one paper before they can graduate, and most of the journals classified as area-one are in foreign languages.
If a graduate student does not start practicing and writing English journals from the first and second studies, and is ugly and long, it will be very troublesome for him to graduate.
Yang Rui was a fat man in his previous life. He had to work hard to write a paper. He got used to writing, but he felt that English papers were better than Chinese papers.
Because the semantics of English words are relatively simple, professional-related words are what they say, and when needed, they can create a long word, and they can retrieve the desired words and articles from the database without hindrance.
Chinese translation is obviously too complicated the meaning of the word, if you are writing a paper on the frontier of the subject, you can write another article just by explaining it.
After writing in this way for half an hour, Yang Rui gave up sullenly and tore off the two pages he had written, and then began to write in English.
Writing English papers first, and then translating them into Chinese for publication. Around 2000, it was the main way for returnees to write **** articles. However, as the value of domestic journals decreased year by year, the rewards given by the school decreased and the level of high-end students increased. This kind of recycling technology has also begun to spread to the student population.
Yang Rui is not sure whether this little article of his own can be published abroad, or what are the taboos, but if it is to be published in China, it is better to write it in a familiar way. Anyway, this paper will not exceed 2000 words, even if you need to look up the English dictionary, it is easier and fluent than Chinese writing.
Soon, in the laboratory of West Castle Middle School, there was only the sound of flipping books.
I don’t know when, Wei Zhenxue has already stood behind Yang Rui, staring at the full English letters dumbfounded. You are reading, if any!
