Chapter 342: Chapter 227: How Did They Finish It in Just a Month?

A large-scale experiment is best carried out when everything goes as planned. If nothing notable is observed, data analysis must be carried out at the end, and an experiment normally yields a large amount of data.

Data analysis is a very complex task, due to the vast amount of data obtained from the experiment. Various scenarios arise during the analysis. Computer simulations can only perform the most basic analysis, so researchers often need to read the data themselves and identify possible problem areas.

Generally, the focus is on significantly low or high values in the data.

Values that are slightly below the normal range are also considered normal.

Data obtained from medical research, particularly when testing organic matter, cells, or pathological changes, differs from fixed concepts in chemistry and physics.

Many factors can affect abnormalities in biological and human bodies.

A good example of this is routine blood testing.

It’s hard for an ordinary person to have all of their blood test indicators in the normal range, even if they don’t have any apparent illnesses. Various factors can affect the results of these tests, even one’s diet. When food is broken down, some of the resulting compounds, such as proteins, can enter the bloodstream, causing a series of biological changes, and hence affect the test results.

So values that are slightly lower than normal are not generally a researcher’s primary concern, as there are numerous possible factors that could cause minor deviations.

Even if the values of several similar factors are all slightly lower than normal, it may be due to other influences and not necessarily indicate an actual abnormality.

When Dai Tianqing took a look at the data that Zhao Yi pointed out, he noticed that all the values of a particular type were slightly lower than normal, suggesting that there might be a problem.

Still, this is only a possibility and might not necessarily be related to the new inhibitor.

Regardless, identifying a potential abnormality is always better than discovering nothing at all, as it at least provides a clear direction for further analysis.

What Dai Tianqing couldn’t understand was how Zhao Yi managed to spot this potential issue?

Having spent days analyzing the experiment results, he had ruled out abnormalities from high or low measurements.

He had given up.

But with just a quick glance at the results, Zhao Yi pointed out several slightly lower than normal values, suggesting that there could be some unusual numbers. freewebnøvel.com

This was truly astonishing.

Ai Lixin couldn’t understand it either.

Ai Lixin had been working with Dai Tianqing on the inhibitor detection project, participated in the large-scale experiment conducted the previous days, and carefully reviewed the final data report. He found nothing unusual.

Upon arriving at Zhao Yi’s lab, he asked Zhang Wei, "Is Zhao Yi always so sharp? He noticed an anomaly after merely glancing at our experimental report. And it was not even a high or low anomaly, but a low one."

"If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have found it, even after a week of looking."

Zhang Wei was not surprised at all, saying, "Why do you think our project is progressing so quickly? Old Ai, Zhao Yi is a data analysis expert. His greatest strength is analyzing experimental results."

"Really?"

Zhang Wei was very sure, "Since the beginning of our project, Zhao Yi has been in charge of data analysis, and he often gets it right."

"Therefore, if he points out problems with your experiment, that is good news. It means your project can make progress."

Zhang Wei had even more faith in Zhao Yi than she had in herself.

After hearing what Zhang Wei said, Ai Lixin felt reassured about his choice to come to Zhao Yi’s lab.

Actually, he had been uncertain.

For a deputy researcher without their own lab, seeing financial gain was only part of the concern. He also had to consider his future career prospects.

The future, that is, promotion to a higher rank, is something every deputy researcher aspires to.

To progress from a deputy researcher to a researcher, one must have achieved enough to warrant the promotion. This achievement often comes in the form of research results. He is still a few significant results away from becoming a researcher. Consequently, without significant accomplishments, he could only wait for his promotion gradually.

Many deputy researchers never manage to become researchers. There are two reasons: research results and the publication of their work.

Like university professors, it’s hard to say whether they produce meaningful results. Most do not have significant research outcomes, so the publication of papers often becomes the basis for evaluation.

The Biomedical Research Institute is simpler because the projects they undertake are funded from above. Whether or not they publish papers is not important. What counts is the completion of more projects. The completion of projects brings qualifications.

Ai Lixin hopes to complete more projects. A few major projects, even serving as the second or third person in control, would let him accumulate enough qualifications to qualify as a researcher.

Of course.

On the other hand, Ai Lixin was indeed tempted by the bonus promised by Zhao Yi. freёwebnoѵel.com

The position of a deputy researcher at a scientific research institution is equivalent to a university associate professor. Although they may sound wealthy, this is not actually the case.

The Biomedical Research Institute is an institution purely serving the state. It’s a research institution in name, but functions rather like a public institution.

There are many research institutions in the country that are somewhere between state-owned enterprises and public institutions. They accept external investment and sponsorships for their research, assist external companies with research, and some even have their own factories where the products developed from research are directly sold.
