So, you’re not interested in my mathematical skills, but view as a laborer?
With a deep sigh, Qian Zhijin nodded his head. To his dismay, he, being a professor in the School of Information and conducting research in the Intelligent & Automation Laboratory, seed to have beco an assistant to Zhao Yi.
Help whenever there’s a need for it?
If it was just lending a hand, he wouldn’t mind. He hoped his skills in mathematics or computer science could be of assistance rather than offering labor and favors.
Obviously.
Zhao Yi didn’t think so.
Qian Zhijin was left with a sadness of feeling unacknowledged.
...
In the following days, Zhao Yi spent his ti at the Biodical Research Institute, collaborating with Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie on experints, data analysis, and project design.
A few mice infected with hemolytic streptococcus had already developed related pathological changes, ranging from respiratory diseases to skin inflammation and swelling caused by the injection of bacteria.
The mice had to be observed and their bodies and blood tested.
This was undoubtedly cruel.
Zhao Yi felt a surge of sadness for the mice, standing before one that died due to the experint, he silently joined his hands together, "An, your sacrifice is comndable!"
This deceased mouse had been administered a high dose of streptococcus which resulted in a significant pathological change leading to its death.
Its death, however, allowed Zhao Yi to uncover a significant discovery.
And that is the common effect of pathological changes caused by hemolytic streptococcal infection.
Whether it was a respiratory disease or a skin inflammation, the seemingly unrelated pathologies were brought about by the infection, and their commonality was the infection’s impact on the blood.
It was still too early to understand the exact blood changes, as it was only certain that antibodies had increased. However, just an increase in antibodies would not cause other anomalies.
So what other changes took place?
Further experints required to be designed to unravel this mystery. But establishing the common factor of pathologies caused by streptococcal infection certainly alluded to an association with rheumatoid arthritis.
This was the result contained in the "Correlation Law".
Zhao Yi was certain about this. The others in the laboratory didn’t know, but the discovery of the common effect of pathologies caused by streptococcal infection was a small achievent in research too.
Within nearly half a month of project initiation, the modest accomplishnt brought consolation to everyone.
"Next, we just need to write our paper and sum up the project."
"This wouldn’t take a lot of ti, would it?"
Zhao Yi asked Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei, who both nodded in agreent.
"Three days should suffice."
"Two days would be more than enough."
Zhao Yi stood up and declared, "Once we’re done, we can head for our breaks, and address any remaining issues next year."
"Oh!"
"Great!"
"We’re getting a break sooner than expected!"
The Biodical Research Institute’s holiday schedule followed the national calendar, usually starting a week to ten days later than students’. Shortly enough, it would be ti for the Spring Festival.
That’s just the regular holiday.
So laboratories, engaged in important research work, often required extra effort, occasionally necessitating longer working hours. It’s quite fortunate to be able to have regular holidays.
With Zhao Yi’s early announcent of holidays, everyone could relax. Once they inford the director, they could start their holidays early.
Zhao Yi still had to ’work overti on a business trip.’
Two days later.
Zhao Yi went to Shuimu University. It was his first visit to Shuimu. However, as the tour group took off from the capital and was assembling at Shuimu University, on his arrival, he was imdiately ushered into the Mathematical Center.
"Welco, Zhao Yi! Good to have you here!"
"Welco to the Mathematical Center of Shuimu University!"
Facing everyone’s enthusiasm, including Qiu Chengwen’s, Zhao Yi felt awkward. He didn’t really co to visit the Mathematical Center but to join the tour group to the airport.
However, with no other option...
The fervor of the people at the Mathematical Center couldn’t be suppressed. He couldn’t possibly show them a cold face, denying his purpose of visit. So, he was left with no choice but to accompany them around.
Luckily, a familiar face arrived.
Chen Ming.
Chen Ming arrived with people from the Science Academy’s Nuclear Energy Center. Like Zhao Yi, he joined the tour group as a mathematician, similar to two mathematical reasoning tools.
Zhao Yi didn’t expect that the first thing he’d be asked was, "I heard you’re researching the Goldbach Conjecture?"
"..."
Zhao Yi felt like vomiting blood, he just wanted to keep a low profile in his research. But how did word get out to the whole world just by applying for a project?
Li Renzhe was to bla for this. But it wasn’t entirely his fault. Even if Li Renzhe was gossipy, he wouldn’t have passed this on to Chen Ming, which ant soone from the School of Sciences had leaked it.
Oh, how frustrating this was!
Chen Ming took out so research materials from his briefcase, "This is my research on the Goldbach Conjecture. I’ve used so sieve theory and group theory. Maybe it’ll give you so inspiration for your research."
"Group Theory?"
"Yes, you will understand once you look at it," Chen Ming replied. "Even though I’ve given up my research as I couldn’t prove mine, perhaps it could still prove to be helpful to you in so way."
"Thank you."
There were many who knew about his research on the Goldbach Conjecture, but not one had co forward to offer any help.
Zhao Yi was very moved.
He decided to discuss the research content with Chen Ming during their journey. Maybe it could really help him out?
