Chapter 12 Whether the basis for spellcasting exists
High school biology tells everyone that proteins are the execution layer of life activities. Proteins are composed of amino acids and have different levels of spatial structure.
The structural properties of twenty amino acids in the human body and the sequence of proteins have been studied by humans, but what are the functions and spatial structures of proteins, and why does a simple oxidation reaction have dozens of sub-reactions?
The reaction that is obviously more cost-effective is not used but the reaction with lower efficiency has to be used.
Why is it necessary to use uncoupling proteins to release the proton gradient that has finally accumulated?
There are many basic problems that have not been solved at the protein level alone. Biology is very similar to mathematics to a certain extent. The more basic problems are, the more difficult they are to solve.
The 21st century is the century of biology. This sentence has been mentioned since the 1990s and has been mentioned until today. Today it has become a joke.
The score line for biology is getting lower and lower. From the almost highest score line in the late 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, the score line for biology is now just a few points away from the grade level.
This is the case for undergraduates, and the level of graduate students is getting worse year by year. There are very few undergraduate and graduate students in Shuimu Biology who continue to study biology, let alone Jiangcheng University. There are two graduate schools that are willing to have students from this school.
It’s not easy to read.
Why does this phenomenon occur?
From the end of the last century to the beginning of the 20th century, various biological concepts such as the "Human Genome Project", "cloning" and "biochips" were in full swing. What is the concept of biology now? One of the four major sinkholes.
After Li Xulin was admitted to the Department of Biology of Jiangcheng University in the 1980s, he studied for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees at Jiangcheng University. He is very fond of the School of Biology of Jiangcheng University.
He saw that the quality of students in the School of Biology was deteriorating year by year, and he wanted to revitalize the school but didn't know where to start.
You must know that Jiangcheng University's School of Biology has five academicians, and its administrative resources and academic resources are huge.
One of the academicians is already very old. When he retires, there is a high probability that one or two more academicians will be promoted based on the strength of the School of Biology of Jiangcheng University.
The Medical Polymer Laboratory alone has two academicians.
After Zheng Li came to the Medical Polymer Laboratory, he was taught the same experiments and the experimental results were even more ideal.
Take a very simple PCR experiment as an example. There are very few steps in a PCR experiment and the core principle is simple. However, the subtle differences in the reagents at each step in the limited steps may prevent you from getting the desired results in the end.
Many times when Zheng Li conducted experiments, he felt that he was a wizard from ancient times refining potions.
Others may get stuck and not get the strips they want due to various reasons, but Zheng Li can achieve the desired results every time.
PCR was just one of many types of experiments, and more and more important experiments were handed over to him.
Not only that, Zheng Li also has his own ideas in biological experiments and can put forward targeted optimization suggestions to make experiments and theory more consistent.
There were several SCI papers that could have been published as second publications based on his contribution, but Zheng Li didn't want any of them.
Zheng Li said that he had ideas and hoped that his first paper would be the realization of his ideas.
"Hey Mr. Liu, I have something to discuss with you." Li Xulin dialed the number.
After receiving the call, Liu Gui subconsciously felt that something was wrong: "Just tell me."
Li Xulin: "Zheng Li expressed that he wants to transfer to the School of Biology, so I would like to ask who should I contact for the transfer process? Who is responsible for the administrative work of your School?"
Liu Gui said firmly: "Huh, I knew something was wrong. It's impossible for Zheng Li to change his major and go to the School of Biology!"
Li Xulin: "He wants to come to the School of Biology. You have to respect the student's wishes."
Liu Gui: "He didn't agree at all. I asked him what he thought. I admit that his affiliation with the School of Science is indeed not strong, but his affiliation with your School of Life is probably not much stronger."
Li Xulin: "He has a much stronger attachment to the School of Biology. He has not gone to the School of Mathematics for a few classes, but he comes to the School of Life every day for internships in the laboratory."
Liu Gui: "Internship? I think his work is not much worse than that of the PhD students in your School of Life Sciences."
"It's really impossible for us to let such an outstanding student go to the School of Biology."
"Although he doesn't come to class every day, he goes to the biology school every day."
"But do you know what he did in mathematics?"
"He solved the similarity problem of homogeneous Boltzmann equations. This paper will be published in ARMA next semester."
ARMA is a second-tier mathematics journal, second only to the top four in terms of value.
After Liu Gui finished speaking, Li Xulin said with emotion that he was indeed a genius among geniuses. He knew that poaching people this time would not be easy:
"But do you know what achievements Zheng Li has made in the School of Biology?"
"We are about to publish a nature article, and he is a first author."
"As long as the editor at Nature replicates the experiment, a Nature article will inevitably be published."
"The School of Biology has not published a paper in the main journal of Nature until today. This is our first paper in the main journal of Nature."
"Academician Lu and Academician Zhu both expressed their high opinion of Zheng Li, and they will say hello to you, Dean Chen."
Liu Gui shouted: "You Li Linfu, are you going to use academicians to suppress me?"
Li Xulin also had a nickname in Jiangcheng University called Li Linfu, implying that he was sweet-talking and cunning.
"No wonder you are so impatient. It turns out that Zheng Li wants to publish nature."
He laughed strangely: "But I'm afraid your plan will come to nothing."
"Zheng Li was recommended. The country where he was recommended does not allow changing majors."
"Even if you have many academicians, you still can't accomplish this!"
Liu Gui felt so happy: "I never thought that our institute would publish "nature" one day."
"Hahahaha thank you for bringing me this good news."
Li Xulin hung up the phone before he could finish hearing Liu Gui's wild laughter. He thought to himself:
"I'm careless. If the Academy doesn't know the news, Zheng Li might still be able to dig him out, but in this situation, I'm afraid that won't be possible."
"Hmph, Xiao Guizi, let you be proud for a while. When he graduates from Zhengli University, we will see whether he will stay in the School of Mathematics or come to our School of Biology."
...
In a closed environment, a piece of paper was alone in the center of the room. There was no other sound in the room except the chirping of the white mouse.
Zheng Li first injected an anesthetic into the mouse, and then implanted an embryo-like living creature into the mouse's body.
After the operation was completed, he put the mouse into the cage and sat quietly waiting for the mouse to wake up.
Most of the money he earned through tutoring was spent here. Zheng Li needed to prove that in this world, will can move the real world.
This is the basis for all spellcasting.
Everything the two professors argued about was meaningless to him. Publishing papers was just to establish himself as a genius.
