Hold a eting, hold a eting.
Zhao Yi went to the laboratory of the Biodical Research Institute and called everyone together to hold a mini-eting about applying for an AIDS prevention project.
As the laboratory grew larger, he finally understood why the higher-ups and leaders often held etings.
There’s simply too many things to handle.
He must understand everyone’s work, their thoughts about the work, and also to gather opinions. It’s impossible to go to each person individually, so a eting was the only solution.
Though it was just a simple eting with four people, the process was still very formal. Firstly, Ai Lixin was to explain so preparations for the application for the AIDS prevention project, as well as his personal thoughts.
Then it was Zhang Wei’s turn.
Zhang Wei talked about recent interviews and reports, as well as issues concerning the settlent of funds for laboratory projects.
Then it was Liu Chengjie.
It was difficult for Liu Chengjie to say much about the AIDS prevention project application, but he did bring up matters concerning the managent of new equipnt.
"The microarray scanner will arrive next month, after the National Day. The supplier will send an expert to help install and adjust it."
"If there are any subsequent problems, we can apply for them to co for maintenance."
"The microscope is simple and will be installed by the end of the month. It’s the sa model as the one in the central laboratory, and they have been notified."
Liu Chengjie briefly explained these points.
Zhao Yi nodded in agreent, "We should pay special attention to the microarray scanner, as well as its operation. If there’s any issue..."
He suddenly stopped as the Supervision Law ca to mind.
Would the Supervision Law – designed to address issues during a process – work on a machine with damaged parts?
"I’ve never tried it before! I should give it a try when I have the chance..." Zhao Yi continued while musing to himself, "This equipnt might be used quite soon. I attended a eting yesterday, and I now have so ideas about the AIDS prevention project."
"Like this."
"Our research previously focused on pathological aspects, but now we have new equipnt."
"The state supports research on AIDS, and if we could have a big project, it won’t be a problem to apply for an additional high-end device."
"So, I was thinking," Zhao Yi said seriously, "Our research should delve deeper, to the molecular and genetic levels."
"We know the pathology of AIDS very clearly, but there are still many, many things that need to be researched. For example, how does the Vif viral factor of the AIDS virus attack immune cells?"
"This type of high-end, detailed, and extrely valuable molecular pathological research is the direction of our project application."
The three of them nodded in agreent.
Ai Lixin even took out a pen to take detailed notes, which pleased Zhao Yi. Employees taking notes while the leader speaks...
Promising!
Zhao Yi then shared what he’d heard at the eting, mainly for Ai Lixin who was in charge of the project application. Zhao Yi gave the direction and Ai Lixin developed and executed it, but he wouldn’t interfere with what specific project to apply for. Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Zhao Yi was aware of his capabilities.
Even though the laboratory had completed several projects, including the globally-influential rheumatoid arthritis one, he was still a novice in biodical research. His knowledge reserves and practical abilities couldn’t compare to the least experienced in the lab, Liu Chengjie.
After all, Liu Chengjie was a Biology PhD.
Zhao Yi’s knowledge of biology was just of undergraduate level. He didn’t spend extra ti reading biological or dical books. Only when he was working on specific research, would he read specific books, and it was not systematic learning. Moreover, he didn’t have much practice. He would just give suggestions when participating in a project.
The sa goes for now.
He could suggest the general direction for project application, but the specifics should be left to the professionals.
What Zhao Yi should do is to study more.
His sophomore courses were basics as well, mostly just without the high math and computer courses from freshman year. Chemistry and Biology were becoming the main subjects, whereas English and Polity were also indispensable.
The chemistry and biology courses at sophomore level went deeper.
Biology science majors emphasized practical abilities in Chemistry and Biology. There were many practical classes, allowing students to get more involved in experints and enhance their practical abilities. It was also helpful for them to get into relevant jobs.
Such courses were also beneficial to Zhao Yi who, like other students, learned little by little from these courses.
Zhao Yi lived a full life.
In his spare ti, he continued to study theoretical physics. Even if the study wasn’t for the research of multi-dinsional space, it still enriched his knowledge. His main task was winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. In order to win the Nobel Prize, he needed to have a significant achievent. So, increasing his knowledge of Physics would certainly help future research.
The main task was very important because it was the only way to increase brain developnt. The increase in brain developnt would improve his brain and physical abilities, and also cause a slight increase in intelligence.
Intelligence was critical.
Before, Zhao Yi was just an average person with average logical thinking, average even among high school students. He didn’t compare with real geniuses and even lagged slightly behind students who were good at studying.
Now, Zhao Yi dared to proclaim himself a genius. With the improvent in his intelligence attribute, his mory and analytical abilities were noticeably enhanced. His ability to understand knowledge was also extraordinary, and he could morize quickly.
He could say that he now had the ’brain of a genius’.
No one would resist becoming more brilliant, even to the point of being the best in the world. To beco more brilliant, one must complete the main task, as simply improving wisdom through "increasing knowledge" wouldn’t affect mory or analytical abilities.
So, the main task is a must to complete.
Amidst his vigorous learning schedule, a week passed quickly.
Soon it was the end of September.
Zhao Yi visited the laboratory to check out the newly installed high-precision microscope. After celebrating with a few colleagues and touring other labs to discuss their research, he leisurely left the institute.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar na.
"Zhang Hongtao?"
"Do I know anyone by that na?"
Zhao Yi thought carefully, and finally found a trace of Zhang Hongtao in the corner of his mory, "Professor at Aerospace University? From the Material Science Laboratory?"
"Seems like it..."
Deciding to answer, he picked up his phone and responded, "Brother Zhang!"
"...Yes!"
Zhang Hongtao on the other end confird and then said, "Professor Zhao, do you have so ti? I need your help with sothing."
"Sure."
Zhao Yi nodded in response, then sat down by a flower bed, curious about what he wanted to ask.
Zhang Hongtao began to explain earnestly.
In fact, the issue was straightforward. Zhang Hongtao was still discussing the titanium alloy plate. During Zhao Yi’s previous visit to the materials lab, he had pointed out several elents contained in the plate.
The plate was kept in the lab with the purpose of figuring out how it was made.
Zhang Hongtao was in charge of this.
His superiors were not expecting him to figure out how to make the plate in a short ti, but Zhang Hongtao was a persistent person. He really wanted to figure it out because he understood the importance of understanding the production thod of this alloy.
The titanium alloy plate was the outer skin of a satellite. Importing it was extrely costly, and its use was regulated by foreign nations. It could only be used for satellite production.
In truth.
The sa titanium alloy could also be used in the military sector, such as in the production of fighter jets, cannons, missiles, and more.
The potential civilian use of such an excellent alloy was even more extensive.
Figuring out the thod for manufacturing that titanium alloy plate was of national importance.
Zhang Hongtao’s persistence led him to continually attempt to crack this, but after a long period of research and consuming a lot of rare tals—the estimated expenses had already exceeded three million—he still had made zero progress.
He was under pressure.
If he didn’t make any progress soon, his research would have to stop because the consumption of rare tals was too severe, and he wouldn’t be able to apply for the necessary materials to continue.
So Zhang Hongtao decided to call Zhao Yi.
"Do you have any ideas about the titanium alloy plate we discussed last ti?"
"I’m referring to its manufacturing thod."
"A question that always baffles is how neptunium, a tal, embeds itself into the alloy and how exactly it works?"
"..."
Zhao Yi listened in silence for a while.
What could he think about a piece of titanium alloy?
The last ti he saw that titanium alloy plate, he only used his ability to analyze its elental composition. The specifics of how that plate was made were far from easy...
Wait a second!
"If we know the elents and try to understand other factors, perhaps ’Connection Law’ could be applied?"
"’Connection Law’ could perhaps assist in understanding the manufacturing thod?"
"Maybe..."
As Zhao Yi contemplated the possibility, he felt that it may be worth a try. After a long silence, he finally said, "I don’t have any ideas per se. I haven’t considered alloy manufacturing and I don’t know much about materials science."
"Here’s what!"
"Let be clear, I don’t know anything about chemistry or materials, especially tals. I know so little. If you don’t mind, I could co and look at your research to see if there’s anything I can do to help?"
Zhang Hongtao also fell silent for a mont before saying, "That would be wonderful, you’re always welco."
"Alright, I’ll co over if I’m free tomorrow." Zhao Yi thought for a mont before hamring ho the point once again. "Let just say it again, I really don’t know anything, so I may not be of any help. I hope you’re prepared for that...""
"That’s okay. The fact that you’re willing to help is already good enough."
