Chapter 328 Super Evil Scientist!

Zhao Yi really wanted to reduce the funding for mathematics projects, mainly because he felt that the funders were too enthusiastic, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

The mathematics project does not require much funding. He rarely attends large-scale academic conferences and the like. He does not even have to spend money on air tickets and hotels. The highest expenditure is probably to order a few mathematics magazines? And the meal expenses in the process of serious thinking?

These should also be considered costs...

Anyway, in the process of doing the project, there is no place to spend a lot of money. Applying for tens of thousands of dollars is enough, and most of it goes into your own pocket. The one million Fermat guessed last time was placed in your bank account. on, not even a penny was used.

Of course.

If we measure the value of mathematical achievements, it is definitely much higher than the funding. However, the attitude of the appropriators has always been very good, and they are approved quickly every time. The funding is only given more, not less, so there is no need to always ask for higher funding. .

In fact, half a million is nothing to Zhao Yi. He has a lot of personal income.

For example, the most basic salary.

A second-level professor in the School of Science and a researcher in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences can get two salaries, both of which are high salaries. The monthly income is around 40,000, but the benefit of working in the country is that the benefits are very good. Well, just the 'gold' among the five insurances and one fund can be called a 'high salary' when taken alone.

In addition to the basic salary, high-level scientific researchers also receive bonuses. The bonuses are often linked to project results. For example, in the work of a biomedical research institute, the bonuses for project results are very high. The amount of bonuses he receives can even It's even higher than his salary. Counting only basic salary and bonuses, he already earns millions a year.

In addition, he has direct balances of funds for several projects, and the remaining funds can be said to be his.

In addition, there are some other incomes, such as patent fee income. The digital transmission technology developed in cooperation with Terence Tao will receive overseas patent fee income in the long term.

This part of the income is also very high, easily exceeding salary plus bonuses.

He also has a lot of income from copyright fees. The sales of "Zhao's Screening Method" are very good. It can be said that it has reached the pinnacle of technical books. It has also been used as a teaching and teaching material by some universities and even famous schools in the world. It has been published domestically and overseas. Royalty income is also very considerable.

Now Zhao Yi is thinking about his last income. Writing a book has not only gained world recognition, but also received a steady stream of copyright income, which is a very fulfilling thing.

Of course.

Writing a book is difficult and a headache.

Now Zhao Yi is experiencing the difficulties and anguish of writing a book. He kept explaining to Qian Hong the mathematical logic of the 'particle boundary theory', especially the difficult-to-understand parts in the middle. He explained it several times in a row.

His mouth was dry as he spoke.

Qian Hong is indeed a doctoral student, but a Ph.D. in computer science. She has probably never thought deeply in the field of mathematics and lacks basic knowledge, which makes it difficult for her to understand those complex analyses.

Zhao Yi felt very distressed about this. He dragged his chin and stared at Qian Hong who was thinking, and suddenly thought of something that was really true...

The scale is really big!

"Ahem!"

"What are you doing!" Qian Hong raised his head and noticed Zhao Yi's eyes, and said angrily, "Keep talking! Keep talking!"

"I've said it several times, just this little thing..."

"I didn't ask you to continue talking about this, and I don't need to understand. Didn't you write out the entire process? That's fine. With some detailed notes, you can do it yourself!"

"……All right."

Zhao Yi felt helpless. He expressed regret for Qian Hong's giving up and sighed, "Writing a book is so difficult!"

Qian Hong huffed and gritted her teeth and said, "I wrote the book, okay? What's so hard for you? What's so hard for you!" She really felt angry. The main reason for her anger was that she still didn't understand it after hearing it several times. She felt her intelligence was being despised.

But... what can be done?

Compared with the freak in front of him, a professor from the School of Science would be despised to death.

…

After simplifying Fermat's conjecture, Zhao Yi did not concentrate on studying Fermat's conjecture as reported by the outside world, but temporarily put aside Fermat's conjecture.

First, there is no exact idea. Inspiration is more important in solving problems. It is very, very difficult to find ideas through hard thinking.

The second is that he also wants to take a break and enjoy normal campus life, instead of finishing one topic and then hurriedly studying another topic.

Zhao Yi does not want to define himself as a 'tool person'. He still hopes to live a more relaxed and leisurely life and do research when he is in the mood, rather than forcing himself to do research one after another.

Throughout March, he did not consider the issue of Fermat's conjecture. Physical considerations such as particles, space, and M theory were completely put aside by him. Even the "performance sharing theory" with tasks was chosen by him. Sexual forgetfulness, I just sorted out the information and put it on the computer desktop to remind myself that I still have such a task.

The only thing he does is biomedical research, that is, studying the molecular process of HIV virulence gene Vif, which hijacks proteins that act in the body.

The main experimental forces in this area are Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei. Yan Yi can also play a role. She is mainly responsible for calculating data.

Thanks to Fan Lei joining the laboratory as a 'part-time contractor', Liu Chengjie has also become more involved in the work of the laboratory. Of course, he still 'takes care of' Fan Lei most of the time. Fan Lei has just entered the laboratory and has only a personal understanding of the work. A general understanding requires a lot of learning and adaptation.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone in the laboratory, the project is progressing very quickly.

It's early April, and the hijacking mechanism of the virulence gene Vif has almost come to a general framework. Some details still need to be studied carefully.

Ai Lixin suggested making a computer model to elaborate on the entire process, and the project also entered the process of verifying existing results with a large amount of data.

They made thirteen verification samples in one go to detect changes in the data of the samples.

Zhao Yi goes around the laboratory every day to see the latest experimental progress, and also observes the verification samples. Enough observation is difficult to draw any conclusions, but it can increase the conditions for usage capabilities.

After Zhao Yi finished class that day, he turned on his phone and found that there were three missed calls.

Both were called by Zhang Wei.

One is Ailixin.

"Did the experiment make some big discovery?" Zhao Yi hurriedly called back with doubts, and heard Ai Lixin talking about the changes in the samples.

"There is a very special sample. There are some abnormalities in the data records. I don't know what's going on. Come and take a look when you have time." Zhang Wei said in a calm tone, "But don't hold out hope that you can find anything. Sometimes it happens. Abnormality is also a very normal phenomenon. It may be that the samples were different when the experiment was first set up, or there was an operational error during the experiment. In short, it could be anything."

"I'll be there right away."

Zhao Yi's mood was also very dull. Even if Zhang Wei didn't add the last sentence, he was now very experienced. In the research done in the past, sample abnormalities also appeared. Most of them were due to some mistakes during the operation, or The sample is inherently abnormal, and as Zhang Wei said, all possibilities exist.

That’s it for experiments!

Experiments in medical research are not about mathematical problems, and they will certainly not be 100% identical. There may also be differences in manual operations. If the same sample and the same experiment are done by two different people, there will be certain differences. Data fluctuations are very normal phenomena.

Zhao Yi came to the laboratory and walked to the small room where the samples were.

Zhang Wei is inside.

Fan Lei also stood aside and watched, and asked with interest, "This sample seems to be mine, right?"

"right."

Zhang Wei nodded firmly.

There were thirteen samples on the test table, all of which contained human blood. Eight of them came from cooperative hospitals, and the other five were simply provided by our own people.

Zhang Wei, Ai Lixin, Liu Chengjie, Yan Yi, and Fan Lei, who had just entered the laboratory, each provided a sample. Before providing the sample, detailed blood data testing and even DNA analysis were performed.

The abnormal data occurred in the blood sample provided by Fan Lei.

Zhao Yi walked into the laboratory, asked about the samples, and got the data of the abnormal samples. By comparing the data of other samples, it was easy to see what was 'abnormal'.

In Fan Lei's sample, some of the data representing 'infection' are on the low side. One or two are low, which is normal. All of them are low, which can be said to be 'abnormalities' that must be taken seriously. .

Of course.

‘Abnormal’ does not mean there is a problem.

Similar problems are often found. For example, if there are fewer blood samples used for experiments, the subsequent series of tests may be "low".

Zhao Yi stared at the samples and data and continued to use the "Law of Cause and Effect".

His questions are all related to samples——

[Is the approximate blood content in the sample less than in other samples? 】

[Is it an operational error during the experiment that caused the sample data to be abnormal? 】

[Are there any major mistakes or misjudgments in the data monitoring process? 】

【In sample...】

After raising more than a dozen questions in a row, they were all directly eliminated by the "Law of Cause and Effect". He quickly consumed study coins to replenish his energy, and his eyes became brighter.

This is really interesting!

The reason for the abnormality in the sample cannot be found, which means that the abnormality is probably a signal of "discovery"?

Zhao Yi sat on the chair and looked at the data carefully with the data in his hand. He suddenly raised his head and said to Fan Lei, who was walking around, "Fan Lei, just go and draw some blood and save it as research materials first."

"——?"

Fan Lei opened his mouth in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Yi carefully, as if to confirm whether he was joking.

No joke of course.

Zhang Wei also nodded and said, "You don't need to draw too much, just fifty to one hundred milliliters. If there is something wrong with your sample, your blood must be tested. Maybe there will be some big discoveries."

At this time Liu Chengjie walked into the small room and stood behind Fan Lei, as if to keep an eye on Fan Lei and prevent him from having a chance to escape.

Fan Lei looked left and right, looked at Zhao Yi for help, and said with a crying face, "I kind of regret coming to work here."

"If you want to resign, have your blood drawn before you leave!" Zhao Yi said seriously.

Zhang Wei and Liu Chengjie looked at Fan Lei together.

Fan Lei sighed, and seemed to have lost all his strength. He showed no resistance, "Just draw blood, but can you find a professional to do it?"

There are no professional nurses or doctors in the laboratory. The last time blood specimens were collected, it was Ai Lixin who did it directly. He also said that he had rich experience, but the result made people grimace in pain. It was just a little blood collected from the fingertips.

Now it’s time to draw blood directly…

"Of course they have to be professional." Zhao Yi patted Fan Lei on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there are actually professionals in the institute. Upstairs on the left, Li Ming, was a doctor before. It is said that he has even been on the operating table."

"real or fake?"

"Believe it or not, it's not about drawing my blood." Zhao Yi shrugged nonchalantly.

Fan Lei regretted asking.

…

Fan Lei went to draw blood.

Zhao Yi continued to study the sample data and then walked to the test bench to take a look.

After a series of reasons were ruled out, it was certain that the original material, that is, Fan Lei's blood material, caused the difference from other samples.

But what difference could it make?

Everyone has no resistance to HIV. Even if some people have stronger immunity, it is difficult to talk about immunity with just a little bit of blood outside the body.

As long as the blood is taken as a sample under the same health condition, the sample data will fluctuate, but it will not deviate from the general pattern...

healthy?

Zhao Yi suddenly became more serious and immediately raised a key question——

[Did Fan Lei become infected with other bacteria or viruses when his blood was drawn? 】

["Law of Cause and Effect"! 】

【the answer is. 】

very good!

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to go upstairs to Researcher Li Ming's office.

Li Ming tied a rubber strap on Fan Lei's arm and wiped his arm with a cotton ball. His movements were indeed very standard, but the person who was watching was also frightened.

When Fan Lei saw Zhao Yi push the door open and come in, he immediately asked in surprise, "Is there no need to smoke anymore?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and ignored him, but said to Li Ming, "Brother Li, pump more, um... about eighty milliliters, don't say if it's not enough."

"okay!"

Li Ming smiled excitedly.

Fan Lei could understand Li Ming's inner thoughts: He could finally draw blood from people again, and he said it was great to draw more blood!

Yes!

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to work here... No, I wouldn't have provided any blood samples!

Zhao Yi asked Fan Lei again, "Were you sick last week? I was talking about the blood collection."

"No?"

Fan Lei thought for a moment and said, "I'm probably not sick. I did a checkup before taking the blood."

"and after?"

"Later...it seemed like two days later, I had a slight cold? I'm not sure, it just felt like my throat was uncomfortable. It wasn't a serious problem anyway."

"This is it!"

Zhao Yi was determined, with an expectant smile on his face.

Fan Lei felt something was wrong all over!

how?

I'm about to draw blood, and you're looking forward to it and excited? I've known him for more than a year and a half, but I still haven't realized how scary this guy is...!

really!

Geniuses are not normal people!

This is the legendary super evil scientist!
