"In the experint, apply additional physical stimulation to the cells, gradually increase the procedure, and then detect the cells midway through the nervous system, the amplitude of the trembling in the cell mbrane, and the electrical signals of the nerve cells..."
Zhao Yi explained in detail.
The experintal thod he described involved applying physical stimulation to ordinary cells under a microscope, separately detecting the stimulated cells within the nerve cell area, and observing the trembling of so cell mbranes, while also determining whether the nerves received signals and what the specific reactions were.
If ordinary cells are physically stimulated, their cell mbranes will almost certainly tremble.
The others listened but did not understand.
Zhang Wei still nodded and said, "Okay, I got it."
Zhu Qi also nodded along.
After finishing, Zhao Yi noticed that no one seed to have any objections, so he turned around and left the lab. He was going to see the Director Yan Xuelin to discuss the daily life of chimpanzees and the issue of research funding.
It would be best if the institute could pay for this part of the funding, otherwise, the expenses would be too much.
Additionally, there was the issue of equipnt for nerve conduction. Deng Bingcheng’s research required so basic equipnt, with effectiveness geared more toward dical applications, sothing not previously introduced in the institute. The cost of acquiring new equipnt would certainly have to be covered by the institute, and taking it from project funds would be a bit too much, given that project funding is limited.
Zhao Yi had every right to go; after all, the lab’s achievents also belonged to the institute.
Yan Xuelin could only nod helplessly.
In fact, applying for equipnt and funds was not a problem for Zhao Yi’s lab; their contributions to the institute’s achievents had secured national awards and garnered additional research funding.
After all, Deng Bingcheng was an ’outsider,’ and his research might not necessarily yield results.
Yan Xuelin was calculating ticulously.
Back in the lab, the three people, Zhu Qi, Zhang Wei, and Deng Bingcheng, were all puzzled by the experintal thod Zhao Yi had ntioned.
Once Zhao Yi had left, they looked at each other, each seeming to ask, "Do you know why the experint was designed that way?"
Of course, there was no answer.
Zhu Qi turned to Deng Bingcheng and asked, "Doctor Deng, do you know why Zhao Yi designed the experint like that? What’s the principle behind it?"
Deng Bingcheng said with confusion, "I don’t know? I thought you all understood since no one objected. You don’t know either?"
Zhu Qi waved his hand dismissively.
Deng Bingcheng and Zhu Qi both looked towards Zhang Wei, who said matter-of-factly, "I don’t understand either. But since Zhao Yi said so, we just have to follow it, and we’ll probably understand later, right?"
"Just do it without understanding?" Deng Bingcheng couldn’t comprehend.
Zhu Qi, however, got it, "Yeah, since it’s Zhao Yi’s request."
"Why?" Deng Bingcheng pressed, "Shouldn’t we discuss it at least? Knowing the reason, we will know what to look for in the experint..."
Zhu Qi shook his head to cut him off, "You don’t understand, Doctor Deng, this is Zhao Yi’s lab."
"—?"
Zhang Wei explained, "This is Zhao Yi’s lab. What Zhao Yi says, represents what’s correct."
"He’s clearly stated how to do it, asking is pointless. We’ll find out eventually, I’m even starting to look forward to it."
"Ah?"
Deng Bingcheng still didn’t understand, "Is this how experints have always been conducted here?"
Zhang Wei nodded, "Yes, just follow Zhao Yi, and it will be correct."
Zhu Qi imdiately expressed agreent, "Although I’ve just joined the lab, I see it that way too, no, it’s safe to say, the entire institute thinks this way."
"..."
Deng Bingcheng was still completely bewildered, feeling that questioning should be encouraged, isn’t science all about moving forward through constant questioning?
But how should he question?
When surrounded by ’zealots,’ would voicing doubts make him seem like a heretic, and get him taphorically burned at the stake?
Suddenly, he dared not speak anymore.
