Great Power

The Three Mile Island nuclear accident caused a lot of noise. The accident investigation showed that more than half of the reactor core was melted. The 2.5 million Curies of radioactive gas and 16 Curies of radioactive iodine were discharged into the atmosphere. Casualties and large-scale environmental pollution, but since the accident, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest.

"Some experts estimate that to eliminate local nuclear pollution, it will cost a total of 1 billion U.S. dollars and a lot of time—"

Putting the last two dumplings into his mouth, Zheng Jianguo's gaze swept over the capitalized 1 billion U.S. dollars. At this moment, he had already remembered some data in his memory with the help of the news broadcast. The Soviets wanted to deal with Chernobyl. Did the incident cost 100 billion or 200 billion?

Watching the news to find memories is currently Zheng Jianguo’s favorite thing to do, because often the appearance of certain news and images can cause images that fall asleep in his mind until he thinks he can’t remember. It’s just that as a member of the countless lower levels in his previous life, he was basically Did not care about the hidden issues in this regard.

The reason why I remember this is because I was disgustingly exposed to American dramas by the domestic anti-Japanese drama, especially when some medical dramas found a brand new door. As for this number, I don’t know which drama I saw.

At this time, as eight or nine o'clock in prime time passed, some less important news began to appear in the news, celebrity gossip and Gonzo all got together at this time, and even the Chinese New Year’s lion dance and dragon dance were released. Host I also emphatically explained the difference between the New Year and Christmas, which can be regarded as a popular science knowledge for most Americans.

Taking advantage of this time to wash the pots and pans, Zheng Jianguo went back to the TV and picked up the textbooks and started to read. For him, this is the end of the Spring Festival. Last year’s gains were mainly focused on money, and academically, he was still eating his old books. .

And this year's harvest depends on passing the stage 2 exam. If you pass it, something new may come out, such as the pathogenic mechanism of Helicobacter-if it works, you can consider updating the C13 exhalation method.

After studying last year, Zheng Jianguo is no longer an ignorant teenager before going abroad, but a researcher who has received the most scientific and formal education. The physics laboratory is not in touch with professors or post-doctoral fellows. He wants to learn something. It's too simple.

When the learning method is in hand, Zheng Jianguo also knows that his previous thinking about Helicobacter and the Nobel Prize is too simple. To make people pay attention to this pathogenicity, a huge base is needed, and subject to the current testing methods and costs, the fastest way to win It can also be a unit of ten years.

If testing methods can be updated and costs can be reduced, it will be a great boon for countless patients, so the increase in the number of testing will inevitably consolidate his previous conclusions, even using statistics to verify the probability of infection and non-infectious cancer. , That can be regarded as a victory.

Once this scientific conclusion is reached, then the Nobel Prize beckoned to himself. This is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo has forgotten sleep and food recently. The Nobel Prize's journey started with pathology?

"bell--"

The harsh phone call rang, Zheng Jianguo glanced at the phone but was too lazy to move. It was just different from the New Year call in his mind. As the answering machine was turned on, Professor Fisher’s voice came: "Hi, Zheng, this is Fei. Scheer, the school received a special invitation from the Institute of Physics today to invite you to participate in the 1980 American Physical Society’s March meeting. The time is four days from March 27-31, 1980. Please confirm whether the itinerary is allowed to participate, and then Call me back."

Looking up at the closed answering machine, Zheng Jianguo knew that he was going to attend this meeting. This did not mean that he had to attend because it was the American Society of Physics. It was Fisher instead of calling him. Other school secretaries or people like Ulrika.

Fisher was not high or low in solid-state physics at Harvard before, and he was promoted to a full professor at Harvard University not because of his brilliance in academic research. After all, as the world's leading university, the Department of Physics of Harvard University The Nobel Prize winner of ”can’t be counted with two slaps, but this professor has been working at Harvard University for 35 years, and it can be said that he has devoted most of his life to the school.

Especially when Fisher brought Zheng Jianguo to carry out related research on atomic-grade graphite layers, he could realize that he was a person whose IQ and EQ were above the evaluation of excellent from the arrangement of the paper. After all, in the physics of Harvard University In the laboratory, Zheng Jianguo's research content is not so much research, but rather learning, learning from other doctors, postdoctoral fellows, Professor Fisher and others.

A person who participates in research while studying has obtained the qualification to write a thesis, and can also become the first author to share the results and glory with the boss. This has to be a good relationship in any research project.

Of course, thinking about the black belly may be because Zheng Jianguo and Thomas opened up the research field of MIT's atomic graphite layer, and if the Harvard University, as Zheng Jianguo’s principal owner, had not attracted him to the laboratory for key training, For example, the author of the paper is ranked second for the reason that he is studying. It is conceivable whether it will cause his backlash and an academic dispute.

However, Fisher, who represents Harvard University, did not do that. Regardless of whether or not he had this black-bellied idea before it became a reality, Zheng Jianguo was still more grateful to the professor in his heart, not as much as Ye Minde’s enthusiasm for himself. But it is not as shameless as Professor Kong.

That's enough!

The full name of the March meeting of the American Physical Society is APSMarchMeeting. Since the organizer is the American Physical Society, it is one of the top international academic conferences in the field of solid-state physics and even the entire field of physics. Fisher called Let yourself find him yourself, that is, you are preparing to bring him to this meeting to brush up on your presence.

Zheng Jianguo is not a simple student. His decades of experience gave him a deeper understanding of academics after experiencing the events of Professor Kong and Nong Shaoshan. After all, he remembers who said that, some people There will be paste in the place.

In the past 1979, there were only two academic hot spots around the world. One was Helicobacter pylori that Zheng Jianguo found in his stomach, and the other was the atomic-grade graphite layer he tore out. I didn't change the name because I haven't waited for the right time and place.

The former was renamed Helicobacter pylori after being found out by him for a year, and it was renamed Helicobacter pylori because of this colony that mostly occurred in the pylorus. However, it has not been recognized by the whole world. It is called gastric Helicobacter or Gastrointestinal Helicobacter.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo is not in a hurry, because the world has not begun to pay attention to this thing at this time, and for the latter’s atomic graphite layer, it was found that the time was too short. The rounding of the beginning and the end was only one year, and the name was changed. Whatever you can let go.

Now there are not many people studying these two hotspots in the world, and the latter, which has subverted the cognition of traditional physics, has attracted enough academic attention, so the meaning behind this year’s invitation is self-evident. Physicists all over the world would definitely be happy to come and eat this big melon: MIT VS Harvard University?

Of course, this situation happened only when Zheng Jianguo didn’t go. Aside from talking about the level of the two sides in the field of atomic graphite layers, it was a little bit half-hearted. The former discovered that it was true, but the latter first studied the integer quantum. The Hall effect, it’s just not found, it’s not impossible to study it.

Zheng Jianguo decided to go in an instant. Even for the school platform, he would show up. What's more, he originally liked the feeling of standing on the stage and listening to the applause of the strong. Of course, participating in meetings of this level requires careful preparations .

The memory of this aspect flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo also saw the time on TV, and then went to the phone to call Fisher, only when he said he wanted to participate, he heard a voice from the microphone: "This This invitation is not to you personally, but to the atomic graphite layer laboratory in our school, and this meeting is a private meeting that does not accept applications. The participants are all major members of the physics societies in Europe. Considering that you are still a student now, so I gave you an invitation to join as a special member—"

"What standard is this going to set?"

Since he had only participated in the development of the test standard for Helicobacter, the first idea that came to Zheng Jianguo's mind was standardization, but even with his memory decades later, he didn't want to understand how this standard for graphene was formulated?

Is it the method of tearing tape?Or posture?

Of course, this idea just flashed in his mind. Zheng Jianguo was distracted by another special member. He is a special director in the American Society of Gastroenterology, and now he is in the American Physical Society. There is a special member in it, but behind it reflects the current international academic presence of the Republic——

Now the domestic ones are all gnawing on periodicals to catch up, right?

After chatting with Fisher again to finalize the time to meet, Zheng Jianguo put down the phone and dialed the phone at home. It was past 11 o'clock now, should he be back after the New Year?

It turns out that Zheng Jianguo's thinking was too simple, and the phone was quickly connected and a familiar voice came: "Crooked--"

"Mother, my father hasn't come back yet?"

Hearing the voice of the old lady, Zheng Jianguo didn't stop after asking, Xiaomei Du had already spoken: "I don't know where I am going, or if you have something to tell me, I will tell him?"

"It's okay. It's New Year's greetings. Then you can say hello to my father for me. I'm afraid I will fall asleep later--"

Zheng Jianguo thought that since the phone was installed at home, he should call home more often, especially since he is not short of money. Others can not call to save money. He has never been so far in his previous life, but he If I didn’t rely on coffee to refresh myself today, I would probably fall asleep when I read a book, and I told me on the phone.

"You gave your father such a big face, and he still can't show off more outside, because his son can't find him if he calls--"

Little Sister Du said a few words in her throat, and then apparently remembered that there were Zheng Donghua and Yang Na in the yard beside her, so she quickly closed her voice: "Then you don't wait for him. You should go to bed earlier, and go to bed earlier. Only when you have the energy to study hard every day, remember to listen to the teacher."

The old mother's advice is as simple and unpretentious as ever. She thinks that you must listen to the teacher every day when you study hard. Zheng Jianguo can only nod his head and say, "Well, I hung up the phone. You have been exhausted in the past two days. Take a break. "

"I'm not tired enough, your sister and the others do the work, but next year you may have to do it with your dad and I—"

Little sister Du remembered that Zheng Qiuhua and Zheng Donghua had helped them these days. After this year, the two married and went to school. Then there was probably only oneself and Zheng Fugui left in the family. Then she remembered that Zheng Jianguo was about to hang up. Quickly changed his mouth and said: "Okay, hang up."

"Next year, this year, should you and Dad come out to celebrate the New Year, come to me to celebrate the New Year together."

Zheng Jianguo subconsciously said that, but then he remembered that the two old men had arrived in the United States and were unfamiliar with each other. They were afraid that they would not be able to go out if they wanted to stop by like Zheng Fugui. They could not understand when watching TV and reading newspapers. Did not understand.

And if I pass the exam next month, I will immediately have to follow the medical students to the hospital for internships. Then at the end of the year, I will probably be as busy as Yang Nasala and others last year. Voice: "Don’t go, I’ll cause you trouble after going. If you talk about foreigners, neither I nor your father can understand. When you go, your father will be suffocated to death. His prominent people can’t understand. Oh, your father is back, Zheng Fugui, your son's phone number, I have called you twice."

The voice in the microphone changed from clarity to vagueness. Zheng Jianguo did not expect his old lady to call daddy like this. Obviously, his temper was completely different from what he remembered. Zheng Fugui's voice soon came: "Grasshopper, Jianguo?"

"Father, happy new year."

The corner of Zheng Jianguo's mouth twitched and smiled. Zheng Fugui's voice suddenly grew louder: "Happy and happy, I am very happy now, so are you, happy? That big ga—Li Tie is here too, now he is kowtow, you Tell him a few words?"

This is to say you have a good Chinese New Year?

The old man appeared in his mind. Zheng Jianguo didn’t expect his father to broadcast Li Tie’s New Year’s greetings to him. He also thought about it. He didn’t have much to say to the old man. He couldn’t get in touch with the third sister and assigned him. No, the four sisters' affairs were also arranged.

It is impossible to ask you in the microphone if you are satisfied with the daughter-in-law I found for you. Zheng Jianguo quickly changed his words and said, "Well, let Li Tie answer the call.

"Li Tie, Jianguo's call."

Zheng Fugui’s voice faintly came, and Zheng Jianguo’s mind flashed past when his father called this little idiot and almost yelled the word “big Gazi”. He did not expect that Li Tie who answered the phone was almost called this nickname. And became a little blush: "Jianguo, New Year is good."
