Chapter 30, National Laboratory

As one of the top universities in China, Yanhuang University occupies an extremely vast area in an international metropolis like Imperial Capital, where every inch of land is every inch of gold. The total area of ​​the entire campus is nearly 200 million square meters. If you walk within it, Walking for a day may not be able to see the famous scenic spots in Yanhuang University.

Yanhuang University occupies such a vast area. In addition to the campus used for teaching, a large part of it is actually used for scientific research. It has a large number of top scientific laboratories at home and abroad. These laboratories are not only Yanhuang University Most of the money used is directly under the state, and all the required funds and so on are all borne by the state.

Huaxia National Biological Laboratory for Disease Control and Prevention is one of many top laboratories. The person in charge of this laboratory is academician Liu Yi, a world-renowned biological virologist, academician of the National Academy of Sciences, honorary professor of many famous universities in the world, and academician of many countries in the world.

In the laboratory, Li Fu was wearing white overalls at this moment, and was manipulating the electron microscope in the laboratory to observe biological viruses. This made Liu Yi, who had been observing by the side, nod in satisfaction.

Originally, Li Fu was only a third-year student, so logically speaking, he could not participate in such an important laboratory, and it could even be said that he could not even enter. After all, this laboratory is a national-level laboratory. The equipment and so on are very precious.

There are only a few instruments and equipment in the world, and they are things that cannot be bought with money. What's more, the projects and topics studied here are national-level topics, and many of them require the highest level of secrecy. All kinds of viruses and bacteria stored here, if any one is released casually, it will be enough to cause terrible consequences.

Therefore, without reaching a certain level and level, there is no way to enter this laboratory. This is not something that Li Fu, a student in college, can enter.

However, since Liu Yi asked Li Fu to talk in detail last time, Liu Yi found that Li Fu was not simple. In the field of biological virology, which Liu Yi is good at, Li Fu has already been able to talk fluently with Liu Yi, and has a very solid foundation.

Moreover, Liu Yi also discovered that Li Fu not only has a very deep foundation in biology, but also has refreshing insights in many aspects. Li Fu also has very deep knowledge in other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and computer science. Based on his skills, Liu Yi felt that Li Fu was an all-around genius.

For such a genius, Liu Yi naturally cherished it. In addition, he also checked Li Fu's profile earlier, and knew that Li Fu studied very hard during college, his grades were always among the best, and he was quite good as a person. So Liu Yi directly expressed his intention to accept disciples to Li Fu.

Li Fu was naturally overjoyed. Having a master of science like Liu Yi as his mentor was something that countless people could only dream of. Li Fu agreed without any hesitation.He successfully became Liu Yi's student and also became a member of this national laboratory, and he was able to freely go out of this closely guarded international laboratory.

"Tsk tsk, it is indeed a world-class laboratory. The resolution of a very ordinary microscope can be so clear. It seems that the country is not just shouting slogans for scientific research."

While carefully observing the biological viruses under the microscope, Li Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There is not enough funds for scientific research, and there is not enough advanced scientific research equipment. It is basically empty talk. For scientists who study biology, a good microscope becomes particularly important.

Generally speaking, to measure the quality of a microscope, or to compare the effective magnification ability of a microscope is to look at the resolution rather than the magnification that everyone said in one book. Only laymen will say how much and how many times to magnify, and experts generally It's all about resolution.

The electron transmission electron microscope in Li Fu's hands now has a maximum magnification of about 200 million times and a limit resolution of about 1 nanometer. However, such an electron microscope is the most common in this national laboratory. microscope.

Li Fu has heard from his brothers and sisters that there is a super electron microscope in the laboratory with a resolution of 0.5 angstrom (angstrom or ANG in foreign language, which is commonly used in crystallography, atomic physics, ultramicrostructure, etc. The unit of length, transliterated as "Angstrom", the symbol is, 1 is equal to 10^(-10)m, which is one tenth of a nanometer).

"It's no wonder that China's technology has continued to rise over the years. The country's investment in scientific research is still very willing. To build such a national laboratory, nothing else is said. The instruments and equipment in this laboratory alone are all I don't know how many billions it will cost."

It's no wonder that Li Fu is here as if Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. When he first entered this national laboratory, Li Fu was already deeply attracted by the environment here, especially the various advanced labs here. The advanced scientific research instruments and equipment made Li Fu want to drool just looking at them.

Ever since Li Fu decided to shift his main energy to the road of science and technology, Li Fu has been thinking about where to start. After thinking about it, he feels that it is better to start from the biomedicine major he studied in university.

Because my university mainly studies biomedicine, starting from this field, it will not be surprising to make achievements in a short period of time, at most it will be called a genius or something.

But if in other fields, if Li Fu made amazing achievements all at once, the world would find it strange, and it would appear very unreasonable and unacceptable.

However, if one wants to make achievements in the field of biological sciences, especially in a short period of time, it is basically impossible to achieve without good tools and good mentors. The most important thing to study 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. Obviously, he has learned a lot in his brain. Civilized great Han technological empire advanced scientific and technological knowledge.

However, there is no condition or place for Li Fu to conduct experiments and verifications. He can only worry about where he is, unable to do anything. He can only study various books in the library, especially some papers published by cutting-edge scientists, etc. Wait for verification and comparison.

But now all the problems have been solved with Li Fu joining this international-level laboratory. The Huaxia National Disease Control and Biology Laboratory not only has a variety of advanced scientific instruments and equipment, but also in this laboratory. In the virus database, almost all viruses discovered by human beings are stored.

As for issues such as experimental qualifications, it goes without saying that ordinary experiments only need to be filed and registered in the laboratory, and major laboratories can ask Liu Yi to sign. There is no need for complicated applications and approvals at all. .

When he came to such a place, Li Fu felt as if he had wings to take off. In a short period of time, he became familiar with the management regulations of this international laboratory and figured out the management rules and systems here. , It will soon be able to master the operation of various instruments and equipment proficiently.

In addition to these, Li Fu's strong learning ability, solid foundation and skills quickly conquered the scientific staff around him, and made everyone who thought it was inappropriate for Liu Yi to suddenly recruit an undergraduate to shut up. He also looked at Li Fu with admiration, and even Liu Yi was quite satisfied with Li Fu.

Li Fu is modest, cautious, cautious, super learning ability, strong jumping thinking ability, etc. No matter how you look at it, Li Fu is a very good seedling of biological scientists, like a piece of jade in the rough. With a little bit of carving, it will soon be able to shine brightly to the world.

In a very short period of time, Li Fu has been able to truly integrate into the atmosphere of this laboratory, follow the rhythm of other people, assist other scientists in the laboratory to do some relatively simple scientific research work, and at the same time spend time in his spare time In addition, I use the equipment and instruments in the laboratory to study some topics I like.

For example, now, Li Fu is researching how to fight virus with poison, and wants to find a virus that can deal with HIV without any effect or harm on the human body. Li Fu's research in this area is also quite supportive and has given great convenience.

HIV, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or AIDS (AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus, is a virus that causes a deficiency in the human immune system. Human immunodeficiency virus was first identified in the United States in 1981.It is a lentivirus that infects cells of the human immune system and is a type of retrovirus.

There are 4 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 come from chimpanzees, but the rarer O and P are It was later confirmed that O and P were both gorillas from southwestern Cameroon.

The human immunodeficiency virus is about 120 nanometers in diameter and roughly spherical in shape. It mainly attacks the helper T lymphocyte system of the human body. Once it invades the body cells, the virus will integrate with the cells and be difficult to eliminate for life, causing the body to lose immune function. It is a constant latent cycle. Horrible virus with long, high death rate.
