Zhang Wei was promoted to the position of researcher not only because of her personal abilities but also because she participated in several major projects and made contributions that ranked very high, always just behind him.
It would be sowhat unsuitable to assign Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei to work together since both Li Ming and Zhu Qi are seasoned researchers with top-notch skills and experience.
Therefore, they would definitely be assigned to different groups.
Zhao Yi shook his head as he pondered and felt a bit ntally exhausted. He thought that assigning groups to researchers was like a teacher grouping students...
Even after the groups had been assigned, there were still students who ca to him to say, "I don’t want to be in this group?"
"ntally exhausting!"
Zhao Yi touched his heart with his hand, and Deng Bingcheng, who was beside him, asked with concern, "Academician Zhao? What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yes." Zhao Yi shook his head.
Deng Bingcheng thought it was serious and imdiately said, "Then you should go to the hospital for a checkup. Geniuses with super-high IQs are prone to diseases because they think too much and the brain consus too much energy..."
"There is evidence for this..."
"Blah blah blah~~"
Deng Bingcheng went on for a while, and Zhao Yi’s face darkened as he listened. He realized that being with a doctor was not a good choice and hurriedly walked a few steps faster to another isolation laboratory.
Zhang Wei and Zhu Qi were also busy. They were performing electrophysiology on the nerves in the crab’s legs, detecting signal transmission with instrunts.
When Zhao Yi walked in, Zhang Wei was putting down the tools in her hand and then exclaid with surprise, "We’ve detected the mbrane tremor of the peripheral cells connected to the nerves."
"Peripheral nerve cells?" Zhao Yi was puzzled.
Zhang Wei explained, "Not the nerve cells themselves, but other cells that are connected to the nerves."
"Oh."
Zhao Yi went over to look at the data and found that it was a huge set of data, and in the end, the computer calculated the conclusion—
mbrane tremor amplitude: 2nm (nanoters).
This was the first definite value detected after a week of preparation. Subsequent similar tests would be much easier, and the required ti would also be greatly reduced.
Zhu Qi, "This value should be accurate, with a deviation range between 0 and 2 nanoters."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi asked with doubt, "Is that still accurate? It’s only 2 nanoters in total; could it be possible that nothing happened?"
"Of course."
Zhu Qi said, "Every experint has its deviation. Especially with such subtle detection, the tremor of the cell mbrane may be a side effect of the transmission of the nerve signal, since it is too close to the nerve cell and is likely to be influenced as a result."
"Are there any other data?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Not for now." Zhu Qi said, "We have many similar experints to do later. The plan is to conduct hundreds of them and collect the data for analysis."
Suddenly Deng Bingcheng said, "Can we conduct one now, just to see?" He was interested in replicating classic experints in nerve research.
"We can, it’ll take about twenty minutes."
Zhu Qi said.
Next, they prepared for the second experint while Zhao Yi and Deng Bingcheng watched from the side.
During the experint, Deng Bingcheng discussed the experintal content with Zhu Qi, and the forr made a few professional suggestions that made Zhu Qi’s eyes light up, unable to help but exclaim, "That’s the expertise of soone who specializes in nerve research."
"You flatter !"
Deng Bingcheng said, "In fact, using the crab’s crusher claw nerves for research is not a very good choice. On the contrary, the hind legs would be better."
"Why?" Zhu Qi was puzzled.
The others all looked on.
"The crab’s crusher claws are parts that are frequently used, whether it is for predation or threatening enemies, and even when walking, the claws are always in motion, vigilant against potential dangers."
"Just like the fingers of humans, which are highly sensitive, it ans that nerves are concentrated there. But in fact, the most ideal material for nerve research is one where there is only the main nerve trunk without branches, so the research will not be affected by the branching nerves."
"Of course, that’s impossible."
"But when choosing materials, you definitely want to pick parts where the nerves branch less."
The people in the laboratory nodded as they listened.
What Deng Bingcheng said was indeed very professional. Their research involved dissecting only the main trunk of the claw nerves, but artificial dissection couldn’t possibly be done without bringing along other cells, aning there would definitely be ’branched’ nerves present, like a tree trunk with branches. Sotis those branches might be misidentified as ’cells unrelated to the main trunk’.
Soon.
The second experint began.
Zhu Qi and Zhang Wei kept busy while Deng Bingcheng occasionally helped out. During the experint, a series of data was collected, which could indicate that when the crab’s crusher claw nerves were stimulated, the cell mbranes of nearby cells did indeed exhibit slight tremors.
The data obtained this ti read ’4nm’.
"The deviation is too large!"
After the experint ended, Deng Bingcheng looked at the data and comnted, "The data obtained with this experintal thod is inaccurate because the crab’s crusher claw nerves have been dissected off."
"The tremors detected now may be caused by minor physical conditions."
Zhu Qi and Zhang Wei both nodded.
Although it was just a classical replication experint, achieving it was not easy because the publicly available information only included the results and a simple description; the details of the actual experintal process were not disclosed.
Zhao Yi frowned as he looked at the collected data, then suddenly said, "Let’s change it up."
"Following Doctor Deng’s suggestion, we’ll use the hind legs for the experint and when dissecting the nerves, make sure to leave so extra cells."
