Chapter 211 Inner Blow +1
The gold-rimmed glasses did not go to Germany alone. He followed a team from the Chinese Society of Physics, and the invitation letter from the organizer was also sent to Physics Learn, gold-rimmed glasses are actually just for fun.
The team leader sent by the Physics Society is surnamed Nie. He is one of the executive directors of the society. He also works at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is very likely to be elected as an academician in the future. He can be regarded as a quasi-academician!
The main reason why no academicians were sent to participate in this event is because at the academician level, they also want to save face. The organizer didn't send you a separate invitation letter, but you came excitedly to join the party. What a price drop!
So for events like this, special invitation letters will be sent out to high-end scholars, in order to show respect for high-end scholars. And if you don't receive an invitation letter, it only means that you don't have much standing in the eyes of the organizer.
China's basic research is inherently weak. Even academicians of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are not very capable internationally, so naturally no one received the invitation letter.
The team arrived at the hotel and started checking in.
Looking at the surrounding environment with gold-rimmed glasses, I felt that the hotel's facilities were a bit old and the hotel's quality was not as good as I imagined.
So he couldn't help but said: "This hotel looks average! I wonder if it has three stars!"
The team leader, Director Nie, explained: "It is said that this hotel is still a high-end hotel. Built in the 1950s and 1960s, the facilities must be relatively old, but a standard room in this hotel costs 200 euros! ”
"200 euros for this facility? Are hotels in Berlin so expensive?"
"The main reason why we stayed here is because it is one of the three hotels recommended by the organizer. It is relatively close to the event venue and there are Many participants live here, so it’s convenient for them to communicate with each other!”
The gold-rimmed glasses smiled and nodded, without making any further comments, but secretly said in his heart that he was here for a trip, not a tourist trip! For communication, since you are traveling, you should have good food and accommodation, and have a good night. Living in a place like this is a terrible experience.
"Just bear with it for two days. Anyway, there will be free time. Then I will take a leave, find an excuse to leave the group, and then go to Paris and Italy, and have fun as I want!"
The gold-rimmed glasses are thinking about travel plans. At this time, the room check-in has also been completed.
Director Nie took the room card and said to everyone: "They are all standard rooms, two people per room. Whoever lives with whom can mix and match freely. After discussion, come to me to get the room card! Of course, gay men and lesbians cannot live there. It’s the same room!”
Everyone laughed, and then began to discuss the room allocation.
"Old Wu, it's the same as the last business trip. Let's share a room with each other! It's a good time to chat at night."
"I won't share a room with you. You can call me tonight The snoring is too loud. I’ll go find Mr. Zhao to stay!”
“Director Sun, I’m not afraid of snoring, but don’t think my sweaty feet smell too bad!”
"I see that the rooms here have balconies, so you have to put your shoes on the balcony! Also, you can live on the bed next to the balcony."
Everyone was discussing with a smile, but their expressions on the gold-rimmed glasses were a bit strange. Unnatural, he never expected that there would be no single room. He would have to live in a standard room and live with other people.
You know, at his level, he usually stays in a suite on business trips, where he sleeps in the back room and receives guests in the outer room. Even if you go to some places with difficult conditions, at least there will be a single room with a double bed, and it must be a large square room.
Now when I come to Germany, the hotel facilities are outdated and I have to squeeze in with others. How can this be possible? Must upgrade the room.
Director Nie next to him saw the displeasure on his gold-rimmed glasses, so he explained; "I was supposed to book you a single room with a double bed, but I just asked. All the guest rooms have been booked, and now only standard rooms are left.
And even if it is a standard room, the hotel is quite nervous. There are many people participating in this event. In addition to scholars, there are also members of physical societies from various countries, so the hotel does not allow one person to stay in a standard room. The conditions are difficult, please be patient. ”
When he heard that there was no room, the gold-framed glasses had to give up the idea of upgrading the room.
At this moment, a young man walked into the hotel foyer and went straight to the front desk. , seems to be checking in.
Everyone couldn't help but look at this young man, mainly because this young man has black hair and yellow skin and an East Asian face. , East Asian faces are rare.
"Guess whether he is Japanese or Korean?" "Immediately someone started discussing in a low voice.
"She's quite tall, about 1.8 meters or so. She shouldn't be a kid, I think she's Korean."
"With this hairstyle and this outfit, I don't feel like I'm Korean!" It’s not possible that they are from Hong Kong or Singapore?”
“It’s also possible that they are Chinese! Although there are not many Chinese in Germany, there are some!”
“If they are Chinese in Germany! , does he need to stay in a hotel? Looking at him at his age and coming alone, he must be a student of a certain scholar. He should be checking in for his teacher."
While the people were discussing, Zhang Wei took out a maroon passport with the five-star national emblem on it, which instantly blinded everyone.
"Chinese passport, he is Chinese!" After everyone was surprised, they looked at Director Nie in unison, as if asking, did our delegation miss someone?
Director Nie also looked confused. He knew all the team members. He counted the number of people once when he got on the plane, once when he got off the plane, and again on the way to the hotel. We counted the number of people once, and we also counted the number of people in the hotel lobby, and no one was left behind! Where did this Chinese guy come from?
"Maybe he is a tourist or an overseas student! He probably didn't know that this hotel is dedicated to receiving scholars from various countries, so he came in by accident." Director Nie explained.
Everyone nodded, indicating that it made sense.
However, the waiter at the front desk said at this time: "Dear Mr. Zhang, this is your room card. Your suite is located on the 8th floor and has an independent viewing platform. If you are interested in If you are not satisfied with the view, we can change your room to another room.”
The waiter spoke not German, but English, which everyone understood.
"Did you hear that? He lives in a suite with a balcony with a view!"
"Yes, and if he is not satisfied with the view, the hotel even changed his room! Again! Look at us, we are so annoying!”
The hotel waiter took Zhang Wei’s luggage with enthusiasm and took him into the elevator.
The gold-framed glasses looked at Director Nie, with a cold light in his eyes. Didn't that mean that there were only standard rooms left? Why can he stay in a suite? Are you deliberately looking for excuses to deal with me?
Director Nie smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I just asked about the single room, which is indeed no longer available. I didn't ask about the suite."
"It's not too late to ask now!" Gold wire frame Glasses said coldly.
After all, it was the official level that crushed everyone, Director Nie had no choice but to nod his head helplessly, and then walked to the front desk.
After a while, Director Nie returned and said; "I asked the front desk. Only special guests of the organizer can stay in the suite. You are not a special guest, so you can only stay with us and stay in the standard room. It’s time.”
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses suddenly frowned and asked questioningly: “Is that young man just now a special guest?”
"Speaking of the young man just now, who do you think he is?" Director Nie showed a mysterious expression.
"Who is it? Is he a big star?"
"He is much more powerful than a big star. The IPS cells that were mentioned in the newspaper a few days ago can make people live to be 200 years old. He did it!"
"He is Zhang Wei!" The gold-rimmed glasses widened his eyes. This was the first time he saw Zhang Wei in person.
Director Nie continued: "You really know him too! It is really rare for such an outstanding scholar to be so young. Speaking of which, I heard his name last year, when he successfully made Graphene.
But he did not continue his studies in the field of physics, but went to study biology, so I stopped paying attention to him. It’s just gold, it shines wherever it is. This kind of genius shines brightly even when studying biology...”
Director Nie’s beeping behind him and his gold-rimmed glasses didn’t even register a word. .
The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. At this time, the gold-framed glasses were staring at the elevator fiercely, as if he wanted to open the elevator door and drag Zhang Wei down from the upstairs! br>If you just meet your enemy, it won't be like this. But this enemy has a better life than you, which is really unbearable.
They are treated as guests and live as a guide. Suite with balcony view!
And I live in a standard room, and I share a room with other people!
Comparing the two sides, the gold-rimmed glasses instantly fell behind, and it felt as if there was a stone blocking his heart.
……
At breakfast time, in the hotel’s cafeteria, scholars from all over the world gathered together. Many of them knew each other, especially European scholars. We usually have many opportunities to meet each other, and everyone is an acquaintance.
In comparison, the Chinese team seems to be alone. There are no well-known scholars in the team, and you are not a local snake in Europe. No one knows you, so naturally they are too lazy to talk to you.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he ate his breakfast silently, complaining in his mind that the German bread was really hard, and at the same time, he silently observed his surroundings.
He knows that there are many world-class scholars around him, and he hopes to establish contact with those world-class scholars, even if he finds an opportunity to send a business card!
On the table on the left, several scholars were discussing issues. The questions were too profound for him to understand and could not interrupt.
The table on the right is occupied by a Russian scientist, who speaks in Russian, which he cannot understand and cannot interrupt.
At this moment, a gray-haired scholar walked up and asked politely: "Excuse me, sir, are you Chinese?"
There was actually a strange scholar who took the initiative to talk to him. He was flattered by the gold-rimmed glasses. He immediately nodded, then took out his business card box, took out his own business card and handed it over: "Yes, I am Chinese. This is My business card!”
The other party took the business card in surprise. He didn’t expect that someone eating the buffet breakfast would bring a business card, and a whole box of business cards!
Normally, the other party has already handed over his business card, so he should hand it over at this time, but this scholar is a normal person, and a normal person would bring a business card when having a buffet breakfast in a hotel!
So the scholar had to introduce himself; "My name is Johnson, a tenured professor at the School of Medicine at the University of Cambridge."
"Cambridge? The world's top prestigious school! Still a tenured professor! This must be the world's top school A top scholar!" Gold-rimmed glasses suddenly felt that he was getting excited, having made friends with a world-class scholar so easily.
Professor Johnson continued: "I have been engaged in research on ALS for more than ten years. The recent scientific research results published by Professor Zhang Wei have given me great inspiration, so I would like to trouble you to recommend them to me. Professor Zhang Wei!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the gold-framed glasses froze instantly. It took a lot of effort to strike up a conversation with a top scholar, but it turned out that he was looking for Zhang Wei! Is there anything worse than this?
Professor Johnson also noticed that something was wrong with his gold-rimmed glasses. He quickly said: "I'm sorry, I was too abrupt, but I really have a lot of questions. I hope to ask Professor Zhang Wei for help. This is also relevant. A good friend of mine is ill, so I ask you to help me.”
“I don’t know Zhang Wei!” Gold-rimmed glasses shouted coldly.
"Don't you know? You are all Chinese, aren't you together?" Johnson looked surprised, and then continued: "Sorry, I misunderstood. I heard that Professor Zhang Wei is the only special guest this time. Chinese, I thought you were Professor Zhang Wei’s follower!”
“Zhang Wei’s follower?” Hearing this title, the man with gold-rimmed glasses almost jumped out of his chair.
He just ran in front of him to look for Zhang Wei, and he thought he was Zhang Wei's follower!
Sure enough, there are worse things!
"Is Professor Zhang Wei you just talked about the Chinese scholar who invented IPS cells? Is he also coming to participate in this event?" A voice sounded from the right, it was the Russian scientist.
The next second, the Russian scientist looked at the gold-rimmed glasses and asked with surprise: "Could this gentleman be Professor Zhang Wei?"
"I am not Zhang Wei!" The gold-rimmed glasses were cold. Face denied.
"Unfortunately, this gentleman does not know Professor Zhang Wei." Johnson explained.
“I thought this gentleman was Professor Zhang Wei!” The Russian scientist glanced at the gold-rimmed glasses with a disappointed look on his face.
"What do you mean by that disappointed look in your eyes? Are you making it clear that you look down on me?" The gold-rimmed glasses only felt like another heavy blow.
The Russian scholar continued: "Professor Zhang Wei's latest research on IPS cells really impressed me. I didn't expect him to confirm so quickly that IPS cells have germline reproductive capacity."
"Germline reproductive capability?" Professor Johnson was startled, and then said: "Sir, did you remember correctly? Professor Zhang Wei's latest research is clearly about IPS cells induced by virus-free vectors!"
"Virus-free vector induced cells? Is there any scientific research result of this? I remember that the title of the paper was clearly "Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells with germline reproductive capacity". What does this have to do with virus-free vectors! "
"You must have remembered it wrong. The title of the paper is "Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Mice without Virus Vectors"! If you don't believe me, check it out. In addition to Professor Zhang Wei, the first author of the paper is also There is Professor Stapp from Northwestern University, who is also an authoritative scholar in neurology!”
“What’s wrong with the first author? The other first author is Sam Ball from Princeton University! , he is also the second author of Zhang Wei’s last paper! ”
"I do have an impression of the name Sam Ball, but this name does not appear in Professor Zhang Wei's latest paper!"
The argument between the two immediately attracted the attention of the people around them.
"Professor Johnson, what are you arguing about?" A bald man came over.
“We are talking about Professor Zhang Wei’s latest research results!”
“Professor Zhang Wei? Is he the Chinese scholar who invented IPS cells?”
The bald man said, looking directly at the gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a look of surprise: "Teacher Zhang Wei, I really didn't expect to meet you here. Would you like me to have breakfast with you!"
< br>"I'm not Zhang Wei!" The expression in the gold-rimmed glasses became more and more gloomy.
“He doesn’t know Professor Zhang Wei.” Johnson explained again.
The bald man also cast a disappointed look.
Inner punch +1!
Johnson continued: "Professor Zhang Wei's latest research results are clearly about inducing IPS cells without virus vectors, but he said that Professor Zhang Wei's latest research results are about generating IPS cells with germline reproductive capacity!"
< br>The bald man was stunned and said with confusion: "What virus-free vector? What kind of germ-line reproductive capability? Professor Zhang Wei's latest research clearly uses liver cells and gastric cells to generate IPS cells!"
What appeared was the third answer!
Three people gave three different answers, and all three people were stunned!
"I think we may not be talking about the same thing. I am talking about the latest scientific research results, which were just announced this month. Are you talking about previous scientific research results?" Johnson said .
"I'm talking about the scientific research results just announced this month!" the bald man said with an innocent look.
“That’s what I said!” Russian scholars gave the same answer.
“What I mean is that the results officially published in the journal are not the projects being studied as reported in the news reports.” Johnson continued.
“That’s what I said was just published this month!”
“That’s what I said.”
"Huh? That's weird! What I saw was IPS cells induced by virus-free vectors, you saw IPS cells induced by liver cells and gastric cells, but what he saw were IPS cells with germline reproductive capacity.< br>
These are obviously three topics! How can there be three topics in one paper? Are we not reading the same "Cell"? "?"
"Cell", one of the three major journals!"
"Are you mistaken? Professor Zhang Wei's latest research results were published in "Nature" ! ”
"What "Cell"? What "Nature"? Professor Zhang Wei's latest scientific research results were clearly published in "Science"! If you don't believe it, let's go find a copy of the latest issue of "Science"."
< br>"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, go read the latest issue of "Nature"."
"You should go read the latest issue of "Cell"!"
Three The individuals looked at each other again.
“Wait a minute, I think I understand! I’m reading “Cell”, you’re reading “Nature”, and he’s reading “Science”. We’re reading different journals, and they’re different Paper!" Johnson was the first to react.
"But what I am reading is the latest issue of "Nature"!"
"What I am reading is also the latest issue of "Science", which was just published the day before yesterday."
The three of them exchanged opinions with each other. They looked at each other and instantly guessed the possibility.
“Could it be said that Professor Zhang Wei made three projects at the same time and published them in three major journals?”
Russian scholars were the first to talk about this possibility, but he His expression seemed to be questioning his own words.
"Impossible! How long has it been since the release of IPS cells? It would be great to be able to do one follow-up study in such a short period of time. How can it be possible to achieve three results? Unless he is Einstein, he can do it. !”
“Since you think Einstein can do it, why can’t there be a second Einstein? What’s more, these scientific research results have been published in three major journals!”
"If the three of us are not mistaken, it means that Professor Zhang Wei has made three scientific research results and published them in three major journals at the same time! My God! In this world, There is such a powerful scholar!”
“Why not? Wasn’t it Einstein? One hundred years ago, 1905 was a year of great miracles in the scientific world. Maybe it will happen again this year. It is the year of great miracle in the scientific world, and mankind will usher in the second Einstein!”
The gold-rimmed glasses next to him, who were still eating breakfast, were about to vomit at this time!
It's okay for my enemy to be praised by others, and he is also praised as Einstein. Can you let me finish my breakfast in peace?
Or if you wait until I leave and continue to blow, at least I will be out of sight and out of mind!
Thinking of this, the gold-rimmed glasses thought it was better to run away quickly! If I continue to listen, my blood pressure will rise.
However, the quarrel between the three scholars just now attracted many viewers. At this time, when the three scholars finally calmed down and seemed to have reached a consensus, someone immediately came over to find out what happened. matter.
It is common for scholars to have heated arguments over academic issues, and often the result is that no one can convince anyone.
But like now, it is actually rare for three people to reach a consensus after they have finished arguing. Something that can bring three scholars to a consensus may be a new conclusion on a controversial topic, and the surrounding scholars are certainly very interested.
"It seems that your discussion has come to a conclusion. Can you share your discussion with all of us?" This person put on an expression of humbly asking for advice.
“We are discussing the latest research results of Professor Zhang Wei.”
“Which Professor Zhang Wei?”
“The same Professor Zhang Wei who developed IPS cells , by the way, he also developed the genetic scissors.”
"You're talking about the Chinese scholar!" The man showed an expression of sudden realization, and then his eyes involuntarily looked at the gold-rimmed glasses next to him.
"Professor Zhang Wei? You must be Professor Zhang Wei!" The man showed an expression of sudden realization: "So you have found Professor Zhang Wei himself!"
The gold-rimmed glasses completely Angry, he stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "I'm not Zhang Wei!"
"If it's not, it's not. Why are you shouting? It's so rude!"
The man muttered in a low voice He said, with a disappointed look in his eyes.
Inner Bash +1.
"He is not Professor Zhang Wei's follower!" Johnson said.
Inner Blow +1, +1, +1, +1...
