He had conducted animal experiments for nearly ten hours continuously the day before, so Qi Min didn't even want to go to the laboratory the next day.

After moving out from Yan Zhaolan's house, no one would leave a breakfast for her anymore. Qi Min got up from the bed, dressed and washed, drank a bag of milk and went out.

When she arrived at school, the last breakfast in the cafeteria was not sold out, so she drank some porridge and ate a few steamed buns. She slowly scrolled through Moments for a while, and as expected, she saw what articles some of her college classmates who were still in the academic circle had published, what conferences they had attended, and what their thoughts were, as well as those who worked in large laboratories. The postdoc sent out information about recruiting technicians.

In fact, it would be good to hire a technician who can do animal experiments to help her with the experiments, but the technician's salary has to be paid by the laboratory itself, and Qi Min doesn't have that much budget. And the technician she hired might have handier skills than hers, otherwise there would be no need to find a bioinformatics laboratory like hers.

After checking Moments, Qi Min rode her N-hand 28-bar to the biology department. She entered the door and went upstairs to the laboratory. She looked around and found that Ke Li was not there.

Did he get up late too? Qi Min asked Chen Linyou who was checking documents at the side: "Friend Lin, is Ke Yue here?"

"Oh... he seems to be in the clean room upstairs." Chen Linyou replied.

Qi Min was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ke Yue to enter work so early, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

She went upstairs to the ultra-clean room dedicated to animal experiments. She first put on gloves, a mask, and shoe covers in the preparation room. She entered the air shower room and walked around twice before entering. She saw Ke Yue sitting in front of the biological safety cabinet. Qi Min walked over and saw him shaving the hair on the rat's head quickly and skillfully.

Ke Yue heard someone coming and obviously guessed who it was: "You're here. The one I got yesterday seems fine. I want to install these three as soon as possible."

"Can you finish it in one day?" Qi Min asked uncertainly.

"Almost." Ke Li said briskly, "I basically figured out how to install this thing yesterday, and it will be faster to install it later."

"How about we pretend separately?" Qi Min suggested.

Ke Yue turned to look at her and said with some embarrassment: "I think...someone has to wash the electrodes. It's better for two people to work together."

Qi Min understood that he actually wanted to express his distrust in his experimental technology tactfully. If it were in the past, Qi Min would probably have to fight with him to maintain her own face, but now this is a subject she has to use to support herself, and there is no need to make things more complicated for the sake of face.

"Okay then." Qi Min sat down next to him and sprayed his gloves with 75% alcohol.

Despite yesterday's experience, it is still very troublesome to install the corpus callosum interface on rats with bare hands. Ke Quer worked for more than four hours before finishing one.

It was almost two o'clock at this time. Qi Min stood up from the safety cabinet and wiped the remaining mixture of PBS and rat tissue fluid on his gloves with absorbent paper: "Why don't we go eat first."

"You go ahead, I have to observe this one for a while, and then I have to take it back to the animal room." Ke Yue said.

"I guess it will be too late after you finish delivering it." Qi Min looked at the pitiful rat that had not yet passed the anesthesia. "What do you want to eat? I can bring you some?"

"At this point, I guess all that's left is pancakes and grilled cold noodles." Ke Yue thought for a moment, "If there are any more, I'll bake some cold noodles and add some shredded kelp."

——

Qi Min went to the canteen to buy grilled cold noodles. While waiting in front of the window, he heard a familiar voice not far away: "Hey, why did you have lunch so late today?"

Qi Min turned around and saw Hua Ruiming as expected. It was already late autumn, but he was still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, as if there was no change from the way Qi Min saw him here when he first started school.

"Let's do an experiment." Qi Min said with a smile, "What about you?"

"It's the same, what else can I do?" Hua Ruiming also smiled and said to the chef at the window, "A set of pancakes and ham, thank you."

The chef at the window didn't start making his pancakes right away. Only then did Hua Ruiming realize that Qi Min was waiting for not only a piece of grilled cold noodles, but also a piece of pancakes.

"Hey, you have quite a big appetite." Hua Ruiming joked.

"Where is it? I'll bring one for Ke Yue." Qi Min replied.

"Is this because...he helped you do experiments?" Hua Ruiming asked cautiously.

"Yeah, that crappy thing is too troublesome to make. I don't even have time to eat in order to do it." Qi Min said helplessly, "It's also thanks to Ke Yue, otherwise I would probably be useless."

"What experiment is so difficult?" Hua Ruiming asked.

"Install electrodes into the rats' heads." Qi Min answered generally. Although Hua Ruiming and his lab will definitely not conduct research in this area, the details of the project cannot be publicized casually.

"I can do this." Hua Ruiming said, "Our laboratory also uses electrode stimulation to treat depression. Why didn't you tell me at the beginning? Which computing center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has more people? It’s troublesome.”

Qi Min felt that she had clearly explained her emotional issues to Hua Ruiming, so there was no need to hide it from him, so he said: "I invited you to dinner just to talk about this, but you brought flowers with you at that time, and Bring the topic to that...I won’t mention it again.”

After she said this, Hua Ruiming was silent for a while, then turned to watch the chef at the window putting shredded kelp on the grilled cold noodles.

After a few seconds, he turned around again and asked in a low voice with some hesitation: "But I still want to know... apart from doing mouse experiments, what do you think of me? - Or put it this way, if there is no such thing as experiments Son, you probably don’t want to invite me to dinner..."

Qi Min glanced at him, a little surprised that he hadn't given up on this idea yet. Because something bad happened in the laboratory where Qi Min was an undergraduate student. At that time, a senior doctoral student had an office romance, and later broke up and retaliated against each other, which even alarmed the department. This incident also made her feel from the bottom of her heart that there should be no ambiguity between colleagues.

Moreover, colleagues who work together do not look up or down. From the perspective of animal behavior, this is a relationship similar to that of brothers and sisters of the same ethnic group. In order to prevent inbreeding, animals have evolved a tendency to exclude siblings when choosing a mate. It stands to reason that people who work together should tend to treat each other as a genderless existence. Hua Ruiming likes people who eat and play games with him every day. In Qi Min's opinion, it's just because he has too few effective contacts with the opposite sex, which leads to the wrong mentality of treating friends as objects of pursuit.

Thinking of this, Qi Min couldn't help but sigh. In order to correct this wrong empathy, does she still have to be responsible for introducing a partner to Hua Ruiming?

She had no choice but to say: "Even if there is nothing to do with the experiment, I will still treat you to dinner. For example, if we go to a restaurant together, if you don't bring any money or mobile phone, I will definitely treat you immediately. But if it is a special treat... you have to There must be a reason.”

Because my boss was on a business trip, I was bored and watched "My Three-Body Problem" for one day...

I see that many people like Luo Ji or Zhang Beihai the most. I am different. I like Da Shi the most (laughs). Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai are indeed very strong, but there will always be top brains in academia/military circles. On the contrary, Da Shi The shaping is approaching the limit among ordinary people... Of course, there are also more niche preferences. For example, the neurology teacher I quit taught Hines in class, and asked Hines on the spot who the wall-breaker was (to be honest) If I hadn’t listened to that class, I might not even remember it)

(The main part of Da Shi has already been completed in Luo Ji's biography, and now we have to wait for Zhang Beihai's biography... Hines, Taylor and Ray Diaz probably won't be able to share the story in one season. I think each of them will be finished in one episode)

Another note: Because I work in the laboratory every day, all chapters of this article so far have been released on time after being scattered and saved the day before. My waking hours during the summer vacation are from about 10:00 to 1:30 the next day. Welcome to contact me
