Chapter 30, National Laboratory
As one of the top universities in China, Yanhuang University covers an extremely vast area in an international metropolis like the imperial capital, with an inch of land and an inch of money. The total area of the entire campus is nearly 2 million square meters. If you walk there, you may not be able to see the famous attractions in Yanhuang University for a day.
Yanhuang University covers such a wide area. In addition to the campus used for teaching, there are actually a large number of places used for scientific research. It has a large number of top scientific laboratories at home and abroad. These laboratories are not only used by Yanhuang University, but are more directly belonging to the country. All the funds are borne by the state.
The Huaxia National Disease Control and Prevention Biological Laboratory is one of the top laboratories. The person in charge of this laboratory is a world-renowned biovirologist, academician of the two national academies, honorary professors from many famous universities in the world, and academicians from many countries in the world.
In the laboratory, Li Fu was wearing white work clothes and was operating the electron microscope in the laboratory to observe biological viruses. He was very serious and serious, meticulous in his work, and at the same time he was very skilled in controlling the instruments. This made Liu Yi, who had been observing next to him, nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, Li Fu was just a junior high school student. Logically speaking, he could not participate in such an important laboratory, and it could not even be said that he could not even enter. After all, this laboratory is a national-level laboratory, and the instruments and equipment in it are very precious.
There are only a few instruments and equipment in the world, and they are things that even if you have money, you can’t buy them. What’s more, the projects and projects studied here are national-level projects, and many of them need to be kept at the highest level. In addition, the various viruses and bacteria stored here are all enough to produce terrible consequences.
So if you haven't reached a certain level and level, you can't enter this laboratory at all. This is not something that Li Fu can enter as a student during college.
However, since Liu Yi asked Li Fu to go over and discuss in detail last time, Liu Yi found that Li Fu is quite not simple. His knowledge level in biotechnology has far surpassed that of undergraduate students, and it can even be said to be comparable to ordinary biological scientists. Especially in the field of biovirology, which Liu Yi is good at, Li Fu has been able to talk with Liu Yi very well and has a very deep foundation.
Liu Yi also found that Li Fu not only has a very deep foundation in biology, but his insights in many aspects are always refreshing. In addition, Li Fu also has a very deep foundation in other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and computer science. Given Liu Yi's feeling that Li Fu is just an all-round genius.
Such a genius, Liu Yi naturally thought of cherishing him. In addition, he had also checked Li Fu's introduction before and knew that Li Fu was very hard during college, and his grades were always among the best, and his personality was quite good. So Liu Yi directly expressed his intention to accept disciples to Li Fu.
Li Fu was naturally very happy. It was something countless people could not ask for to have a science master like Liu Yi as his mentor. Without hesitation, Li Fu agreed. He successfully became Liu Yi's student and a member of this national laboratory, and was able to go out to this tightly protected international laboratory.
"Tsk tsk, it is worthy of being an international laboratory. The resolution of a very ordinary microscope is so clear. The country does not just shout slogans for scientific research."
While carefully observing the biological viruses under the microscope, Li Fu couldn't help but sigh that there was not enough funding for scientific research and insufficient advanced scientific research equipment, which was basically empty talk. For scientists studying biology, a good microscope is particularly important.
Generally speaking, when measuring the quality of a microscope, or comparing the effective magnification ability of a microscope, is to look at the resolution rather than the magnification mentioned by everyone, only lay people will say how much magnification, how many times, and in-depth people will generally say how much resolution.
The electron transmission electron microscope in Li Fu's hand now has the maximum magnification of about 2 million times, and the ultimate resolution is about 1 nanometer. However, such an electron microscope is the most common microscope in this national laboratory.
Li Fu, however, heard from his seniors that there is a super electron microscope in the laboratory with a resolution of 0.5 Åm (Amy, the foreign name is ngstrom or ANG or Å, is a commonly used unit of length such as crystallography, atomic physics, ultramicrostructure, etc., transliterated as "Aygium", the symbol is ?, 1? equals 10^(-10)m, that is, one tenth of nanometers).
"No wonder our China technology has been rising over the years, and the country is still willing to invest in scientific research. If you don't say anything else, just these instruments and equipment in this laboratory will cost you to spend."
It’s no wonder that Li Fu is like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. When he first entered this national laboratory, Li Fu was deeply attracted by the environment here, especially the various advanced scientific research instruments and equipment here, which made Li Fu drool at a glance.
Ever since Li Fu decided to transfer his main energy to the road of science and technology, Li Fu has been thinking about where to start. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to start from the biomedical major he studied in college.
Because I mainly study biomedical in college, starting from this field, it will not surprise me to achieve results in a short period of time. At most, I will be named a genius or something.
However, if Li Fu makes very amazing achievements in other fields, the world will find it strange and unreasonable, and it is difficult to accept.
However, if you want to achieve something in the field of biological science, especially in a short period of time, it is basically impossible to achieve without good tools and tutors. What you rely most on in biotechnology is a powerful microscope.
In addition to good microscopes, biological virus samples, experimental qualifications, etc., these problems have always troubled Li Fu, making Li Fu feel like a headless fly. He has clearly learned a lot of advanced scientific and technological knowledge of the super civilized Han Dynasty's science and technology empire in his brain.
But there was no condition or place for Li Fu to conduct experiments and verifications. He could only be anxious and at a loss. He could only constantly verify and compare various books in the library, especially some papers published by cutting-edge scientists.
However, all the problems are now solved with Li Fu's joining this international-level laboratory. The Huaxia National Disease Control and Prevention Laboratory not only has a variety of advanced scientific instruments and equipment, but also stores almost all the viruses currently discovered by humans in the laboratory's virus database.
As for issues such as experimental qualifications, it goes without saying that ordinary experiments only need to be registered in the laboratory, and it is completely fine to ask Liu Yi to sign in a major laboratory, and there is no need to make any complicated applications and approvals.
When Li Fu came to such a place, he naturally felt like he had wings of taking off. In a short time, he had already become familiar with the management regulations of this international laboratory, understood the management rules and systems here, and was able to master the operation of various instruments and equipment quickly.
In addition to these, Li Fu's strong learning ability, deep foundation and foundation quickly conquered the scientific staff around him, making people who originally thought that Liu Yi suddenly recruited an undergraduate student and shut up. He also looked at Li Fu with admiration. Even Liu Yi was quite satisfied with Li Fu.
Li Fu is a humble person, cautious in doing things, careful, super learning ability, strong jumping thinking ability, etc. No matter from any aspect, Li Fu is a very excellent biological scientist seedling, like a piece of uncensored jade. With a little carving, he will soon shine brightly on the world.
In a very short time, Li Fu was able to truly integrate into the atmosphere of this laboratory, follow the rhythm of others, while assisting other scientists in the laboratory to do some relatively simple scientific research, and in his spare time, he also used equipment, instruments and other conditions in the laboratory to study some favorite topics.
For example, now, Li Fu is studying the use of poison to fight poison, and wants to find a virus that can deal with HIV without any impact or harm to the human body. This is also the question raised by Li Fu to Liu Yi on the topic. Liu Yi also supported Li Fu's research in this area and provided great convenience.
HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, namely AIDS (AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) virus, is a virus that causes defects in the human immune system. In 1981, the human immunodeficiency virus was first discovered in the United States. It is a lentivirus that infects cells of the human immune system and is a type of retrovirus.
There are four known HIV strains, namely M, N, O, and P. Each has a different source. Among them, the most widely spread M and N have long been confirmed to be from chimpanzees, but the rarer O and P were later confirmed to be gorillas from southwestern Cameroon.
The human immunodeficiency virus has a diameter of about 120 nanometers and is roughly spherical. It mainly attacks the body's auxiliary T lymphocyte system. Once it invades the body's cells, the virus will be integrated with the cells and will be difficult to eliminate for life, causing the body to lose its immune function. It is a terrible virus with long incubation cycles and high mortality rates.
