I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 451 Let go of my cat

Chemistry has opened a new door for Shen Qi. This field is very interesting, and its core is change and creation.

The departments of Yanda that often conduct animal experiments are the Department of Medicine and the School of Life Sciences, and the Department of Chemistry occasionally conducts animal experiments.

Common experimental animals include mice, rabbits, cats, dogs, pigeons, and monkeys.

Non-human primates such as chimpanzees, macaques, and baboons are the closest to humans and are very important experimental animals.

Monkeys are cute animals, Shen Qi does not want to execute primate experimental animals unless it is absolutely necessary.

The industry of animal experimentation can be said to be different from the benevolent and the wise see wisdom. It is difficult to summarize the nature of this industry with simple words such as "cruel" or "for science".

If one day the simulation technology develops to be completely comparable to the experimental technology, then the in vivo experiment will cease to exist.

But that day has not come, so animal experiments have to continue.

Under the premise of ensuring the experimental effect, live animals were replaced with unconscious animals, and higher animals were replaced with lower animals.

Use a small number of animals to obtain as much experimental data as possible.

When animal experiments must be carried out, optimize the experimental procedures to minimize the pain and anxiety of animals.

The above are the three principles that animal experimenters must strictly abide by—the 3Rs, namely replacement, reduction, and refinement.

The good news is that Leluoxianfen is not a fatal poison, and the experimental animals will not be life-threatening if the dose is selected properly and the experimental design is reasonable.

After visiting the Ministry of Medicine and the School of Life Sciences, Shen Qi learned that there are formal companies in the market that specialize in raising and selling experimental animals. The common primate experimental animals on the market are rhesus monkeys and cynomolgus monkeys.

It doesn’t mean that if you want to buy an experimental monkey, the company will sell it to you. This involves some reporting procedures and a buying and selling process controlled by the government.

Shen Qi walked to Yang Dingtian's office and said, "Dingtian, help me apply for and purchase a batch of rhesus monkeys and crab-eating monkeys. You don't need too many, just four, one male and one male for each strain. "

"You finally attacked the monkey." Yang Dingtian said with a complicated expression, holding the orange cat tightly in his hand.

Shen Qi patted the orange cat's head: "We are all scientific researchers. For things like animal experiments, it's good to have a clear conscience."

The orange cat was trembling, staring at Shen Qi with round eyes in surprise.

"Academician Shen, I can help you go through the procedures and buy experimental animals, but please don't do anything to my cat, please." Yang Dingtian has been stubborn all his life and never asks others. Now he is afraid, afraid that Shen Qi will see it on a whim. Just grab any animal, and dissect it with a click.

"Your cat is too fat, and many body indicators exceed the standard, so it is not suitable for scientific research." Shen Qi said.

"That's good." Yang Dingtian heaved a sigh of relief.

"Meow..." The orange cat was relieved, the obesity made it feel safe.

"Dingtian, how long have you been with me?" Shen Qi asked.

Yang Dingtian said: "More than two years."

"Oh, before I know it, I've been back to China for more than two years. Have you finished editing the thesis of the B series samples of the FASTER project?"

"It's over, do you want to have another trial?"

After the B series samples were successfully prepared, the project team began to write an article, preparing to report the research results.

The paper "Preparation and Properties of Cerium Gallium Copper Metal Plastics" was written by Yang Dingtian. The first edition has been shown to Shen Qi, and Shen Qi made some suggestions for revision.

Shen Qi spent some time reviewing the revised version of "Preparation and Properties of Cerium-Gallium-Copper Metal Plastics" and told Yang Dingtian, please post it, this article will be your doctoral thesis.

Soon after, the four monkeys were transported to the Shenqi Mathematics Research Center, where they were raised first so that they could take care of them.

There was a lot of movement, the whole center and other departments heard that Shen Qi was researching chemical test products and doing animal experiments.

If you know it, you know it, Shen Qi is not doing underground experiments, researching deadly biochemical weapons or psychotropic drugs.Conventional chemical synthesis experiments and animal experiments cannot be concealed, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to disclose them early.

Shen Qi's house.

Ouye is almost four months pregnant, and her stomach is slightly swollen, which is not obvious.

Shen Qi observes Ouye's condition every day. Ouye has stopped taking western medicine for nearly four months, and she uses diet therapy to control Moore's anemia and chronic diseases of the immune system.

Aunt Cuiping's soup today is old hen stewed with ginseng and licorice, which has a certain effect on anemic women.

Fortunately, Cuiping was there, and her careful care was of great help to Ouye, and also made Shen Qi feel at ease.

"Honey, come, drink soup and eat ginseng." Shen Qi puffed, and blew the old hen soup stewed with ginseng and licorice to a suitable temperature.

"Yeah." Ouye took a few sips of soup.

"Honey, drink a few more sips."

"full."

"Then eat the ginseng, for you and for the baby."

"Yes." Ouye swallowed the ginseng forcefully.

Ouye took a few sips of a jar of soup and ate a piece of ginseng.

Shen Qi will take care of the rest of the soup and old hen.

A few months after Ouye became pregnant, Shen Qi gained more than ten catties. He followed Ouye's body and ate and drank very nourishing ingredients every day.

"The academician's villa on the west side of Yanda University has been built. It is very beautiful and the interior is very comfortable. We will move there after the Spring Festival." Shen Qi said.

"Yeah." Ouye nodded and asked, "I heard you're doing animal experiments?"

"There is such a thing, regular work. Wife, you still can't trust me about work? Your main task recently is to raise your baby with peace of mind, don't you know? After the Chinese New Year, you can take maternity leave."

"The due date is August." Ouye said that there is still half a year left, so there is no need to take maternity leave so early.

"Your physical condition is special, and it is justifiable to take an early leave."

"Why am I special?"

"Okay, okay, my wife has the final say, so I don't need to take maternity leave so early." During this period, Shen Qi was obedient to Ouye.

"Actually, the nature of your work, there is no difference between working at home and working in the office of the mathematics building. This is how I manage the mathematics researchers in my center. I don't require them to work in the center from [-] to [-]. The only assessment standard It's time to hand in homework." Shen Qi tactfully suggested that Ouye should work at home during pregnancy.

Ouye shook his head: "Working at home, there is no atmosphere."

"Wife, my dear wife, what kind of atmosphere do you want for your math project?"

"Hmph!" Ouye was upset. Pregnant women have more emotional ups and downs than non-pregnant women. She said, "Oh, academician Shen's subject is a subject, and mine is just playing house?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean!" Shen Qi sipped the old hen soup and asked calmly, "You don't feel at ease about having a baby if you don't finish your math project, do you?"

"Husband, I know you love me, but I don't want to accomplish nothing." After being angry, Ouye became very gentle again. She snuggled into Shen Qi's arms and asked happily: "Husband, do you like boys or girls?"

"As long as it is your child, I like it."

"Yeah, husband, you have published a book and are a cultural person. Have you thought about the name of the child?"

Shen Qixian struggled: "I thought of 320 and 690 boys' names, and [-] and [-] girls' names. Choosing a name is much more difficult than a math problem, so I have to think again."
