Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 986: 495

Zhao Yi and Deng Bingcheng went to the main laboratory together, where several researchers were busy at work.

Li Ming and Ai Lixin were conducting research on nerve cells, which essentially involved stimulating nerve cells, observing the reaction that occurs inside the cells during the nerve transmission process, and mainly using computer equipment to monitor and record the changes of substances inside the cells with each nerve response.

The process of the experiment was to infer finer changes from the large variations and recorded data; for instance, the minor components inside cells were certainly not observable through a microscope and could only be inferred from significant changes to deduce what reactions actually occurred.

For the past several decades and even centuries, similar research had always been conducted; to truly observe something new, luck was often more important than skill.

The research by Li Ming and Ai Lixin hadn’t yielded any results yet, which was ’as planned.’

Zhao Yi looked at the recorded experimental data and observed the images of the cells on the computer but didn’t discover anything new either.

"Keep going," he said in the end, shaking his head. "This research can’t be interrupted; maybe there will be some new findings."

Li Ming nodded, "Routine research must be done; we don’t expect to find anything. We just hope some of the data can provide auxiliary help."

"We’re studying the leg nerves of crabs, which can also serve as a reference."

Li Ming skillfully picked up a glass sample and passed it directly to Ai Lixin without turning his head.

Ai Lixin immediately caught it and placed it correctly.

"You two really have a good understanding!" Zhao Yi joked with a laugh.

Li Ming laughed, "Old Ai and I are long-time partners; we’ve already developed a perfect rapport."

Zhao Yi was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly Ai Lixin said, "Zhao Yi, I want to discuss something with you. Is it possible to switch to another group? I want to join Zhang Wei’s group..."

"Ah?"

"Why are you thinking of switching groups?" Li Ming immediately asked with a darkened face; he had just said that the two had a perfect understanding, and now Ai Lixin was thinking about switching groups. Wasn’t that a slap in the face?

Ai Lixin said frustratingly, "It has nothing to do with you. I mainly want to work on new research because it’s difficult to get results from this cell study."

"This is new research!" Li Ming emphasized, "What Zhang Wei is doing over there are reduction experiments."

He felt as though he was being betrayed.

Ai Lixin smiled apologetically, "Mainly, mainly... haha, I feel that there’s a good chance of success with Zhang Wei’s group."

Although Ai Lixin sincerely wanted to join Zhang Wei’s team, even to the point of helping out with minor tasks, Zhao Yi still shook his head and said, "Old Ai, you should stay in this group. Someone has to do the cell research; we divided the teams up from the very beginning."

Ai Lixin immediately lamented, "Alright then, I’ll stay here."

He was obviously disappointed.

In fact, Ai Lixin always hoped to be included in the ’Zhao Yi Laboratory’s internal personnel’ group, and the core figure of that group was Zhang Wei.

The reason was simple: Zhang Wei had consecutively produced several major achievements. Whether it was luck or coincidence, Ai Lixin felt that working with Zhang Wei made it easier to achieve results.

Actually, that was also an awkward point.

Before Zhao Yi came to the Biomedical Research Institute, Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei were both in Dai Tianqing’s laboratory. Ai Lixin was an old deputy researcher, and in terms of age, qualifications, experience, and ability, he was superior to Zhang Wei.

Later, both of them moved to Zhao Yi’s laboratory.

Even though Zhang Wei moved there a bit earlier, he didn’t arrive late either, and then he was promoted to Main Researcher ahead of schedule, and Zhang Wei was also upgraded after two years.

Compared to the Main Researcher level, the two were on the same starting line, but then Zhang Wei had consecutively produced a lot of results, some of which ranked right below Zhao Yi, and she even represented the laboratory to receive awards at the national science and technology conference, surpassing him in both achievements and renown.

Think about it.

Ai Lixin initially worked as a deputy researcher in Dai Tianqing’s laboratory, then moved to Zhao Yi’s lab together, and afterwards was surpassed by Zhang Wei... ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Sometimes, Ai Lixin found it very depressing, especially since he was much older than Zhang Wei.

As a matter of fact.

Ai Lixin’s feelings were relatively mild, given that he had only been promoted to Main Researcher for just over two years. The other Main Researchers at the institute felt the discrepancy even more acutely.

For example, Dai Tianqing.

Before Zhao Yi joined the Biomedical Research Institute, Zhang Wei could be described as a ’pawn’ in Dai Tianqing’s laboratory, the lowest level of deputy researcher, who might have a future but for the short term was just a minor researcher assisting in big projects, only doing peripheral work.

Now? Zhang Wei has become a ’Main Researcher’ at the Biomedical Research Institute, only second in renown to Zhao Yi, and her achievements and fame could be said to have surpassed him.

Dai Tianqing felt so depressed he could spit blood, but there really wasn’t much he could do other than think, "Zhang Wei came from my laboratory; I can only hope that she does even better in the future."

Zhao Yi, on the other hand, was unaware of Ai Lixin’s feelings; he thought Ai Lixin was familiar with Zhang Wei. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But that couldn’t be helped.

Zhao Yi did have some understanding of the people in the laboratory, especially Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei—actually, there was a gap in their level compared to the other Main Researchers.

Even Ai Lixin had a gap, since he had only been promoted to Main Researcher recently and had little experience leading major projects independently.

Zhang Wei was an even clearer case.

The outside world praised Zhang Wei as the goddess and future of the Biomedical Research Institute, but it wasn’t related to ability or experience.
