Chapter 54 One thousand eight hundred cockroaches!
The description of the healing story can only be described in a few strokes, but in reality, the time from the beginning of the reaction to the generation of the material was more than three days.
This speed is actually quite fast in the field of synthesis. Some more complex reactions require hundreds of hours of standing observation. A project team of hundreds of people spent four to five months just to get a final product of a few tenths of a milligram.
One mistake or omission in the entire process may result in all previous efforts being wasted.
This is the risk of biochemistry, but it is also its beauty.
After confirming that the fourth generation imidacloprid, or the new ring compound, could be routinely prepared, Xu Yun immediately asked Qiu Sheng to take charge of the data collection work.
He himself left the laboratory, took out his phone in the corridor, and dialed a number.
After a moment, a female voice came from the microphone:
"Hello. Who is this?"
"Sister Jiajia, I am Xu Yun."
"Oh, Xiao Xu, what's the matter?"
"Sister Hajiajia, I'm doing an experiment on cockroach poison these days. Can the cockroaches in your insect laboratory be used by me?"
"No problem, how much do you want? When will you come and get it?"
Xu Yun thought for a while and said:
"Three hundred Dubyas, five hundred Oriental cockroaches, five hundred German cockroaches and American cockroaches. If I have time... is it convenient for you now?"
After a while, a refreshing reply came from the other side of the phone:
"One thousand and eighty-eight is just fine, okay, I'll prepare it for you now. Come and get it."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, took the elevator out of the medical center building, and walked towards the West District.
The Western District of HKUST is undoubtedly the area with the most sophisticated and cutting-edge laboratories in HKUST, besides the Science Island. It is extremely mysterious.
Many people who don’t know HKUST often wonder:
Why does HKUST not have a few national key laboratories, but many majors are still ranked so high?
The reason is very simple, because HKUST has two national laboratories (actually it should be counted as two and a half now, as for the details of the other half, you can Baidu yourself), which is unrivaled among all universities.
What is this concept? It is no exaggeration to say that one national laboratory is equal to more than ten national key laboratories.
So this is also a magical place of HKUST:
There are only 20 national-level laboratories in the country, including those under preparation, but HKUST holds only two of them, and there will be three at a glance. There are more than 300 national key laboratories in the country, and HKUST only has two...
.
Among them, the famous National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory is located in the Western District of HKUST. It is also the first national laboratory in the country, and its significance and status are extraordinary.
Synchrotron radiation can be regarded as one of the six bases currently performing the functions of national laboratories. The remaining micro-scales are a bit small and the quality is still under preparation. However, judging from the results in the past few years, the prospects are undoubtedly promising.
.
In addition, there are inverse field fusion KTX laboratory, shock wave laboratory, etc...
In addition to many physics laboratories or research institutes, there are also some small laboratories or research institutes with little reputation in the West District.
For example, at this moment, the room in front of Xu Yun...
Institute of Entomology.
This insect research institute is affiliated to the School of Life Sciences. The building only has three floors. There are more than 20 researchers in total, divided into six research directions.
After showing the access code, Xu Yun walked to a reception room with ease.
After a few minutes, a girl in a white coat with a ponytail walked in:
"Xiao Xu? Are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yun quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile:
"Sister Jiajia, long time no see."
The visitor's name is He Jiajia, a senior student from Xu Yuntong's major. She is 27 years old and works as an associate researcher at the Institute of Entomology.
He Jiajia was also one of his introducers to the group of penguins that Xu Yun was able to get close to to protect his hairline.
After meeting Xu Yun, He Jiajia neatly handed over several closed suitcases that were protected from light:
"Here, the cockroaches you want are all here, 1,800 are just right.
Speaking of which, why does our genius Xu have the time to get rid of cockroach poison? Could it be that there is some new breakthrough in dinotefuran?"
Xu Yun took the suitcase and shook his head:
"It's not dinotefuran, it's imidacloprid."
"Um, imidacloprid?"
Xu Yun nodded slightly towards her:
"Yes, imidacloprid, but I can't explain the specific situation in a few words. There may be a paper published later. Sister Jiajia, you can pay attention to it then."
"What journal? Metalomics?"
"It's hard to say. Let's strive for the third district."
Xu Yun did not set too high a flag for himself, and had a brief conversation with He Jiajia, then turned around and left.
After leaving the Entomological Research Institute, he returned to the laboratory with a portable biological box full of cockroaches and rejoined Qiu Sheng and others.
Then, with the help of Li Yan and others, everyone sorted thousands of cockroaches into more than 20 petri dishes.
This time, He Jiajia very thoughtfully classified the sex of cockroaches based on race. The male to female ratio is about 1-4, with more girls than boys.
The cockroaches Xu Yun brought back this time were divided into four types:
Dubia, Oriental cockroach, German cockroach and American cockroach.
Among them, Dubya's positioning is biased toward pet food, which is similar to cherry cockroaches.
Some enthusiasts who keep spiders, centipedes, shoes, and ants will mostly choose one of dubia or mealworms for long-term feeding.
The remaining cockroaches, Oriental cockroach, German cockroach and American cockroach, are all common cockroach species in China.
Among them, the German cockroach is more common in the north, and the American cockroach is more common in the south.
The legendary southern cockroach that will fly towards your mouth and even the leg hair can be seen clearly refers to the American cockroach.
Xu Yun looked at the cockroaches crawling in the ecology box, his expression unusually gloomy.
Then he looked at Li Yan aside, took a deep breath, and said:
"Xiao Li, prepare to test the medicine!"
