Chapter 452: Chapter 241: The Chessboard Settles
"Teacher Ni, I’m sorry, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you." When Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang returned to their seats, the hotpot and dishes had already been served.
Ni Xixin’s right hand was still picking up tripe: "Brother Lu, we’ve already started eating."
"Eat first, eat first, let’s eat together, we can’t chat on empty stomachs." Lu Cheng quickly urged.
After Dai Linfang sat down, he placed his hands neatly in front of his stomach and said quite formally, "Dr. Ni, I’m sorry for disturbing your mood. I was a bit sensitive just now."
Ni Xixin said, "It’s okay, Dr. Dai obviously has a lot of stories. Who knows, you might even be an undercover big shot." Ni Xixin was very astute, quickly picking up on the conversation.
"I’ve almost buried myself in the ground, what kind of undercover big shot could end up like me?" Dai Linfang laughed unnaturally.
Ni Xixin said, "But ordinary people wouldn’t dare to think like you did just now, Dr. Dai."
Dai Linfang said, "That was a long time ago. If there’s a chance, we can chat slowly next time. Today, Brother Lu set the tone to make sure we find every possible way to entertain Dr. Ni."
"I’m doing okay, didn’t take on any tasks, but I already made a mistake with the hotpot."
"Dr. Ni, just to clarify, what happened earlier was my personal issue. If you’re upset, I’ll drink a few cups as a self-punishment."
"Or if you really can’t stand me, I can forever stay out of your sight, as long as it makes you feel better, anything goes."
In Ni Xixin’s view, Dai Linfang was somewhat extreme, and she was afraid that saying the wrong thing might lead him to some drastic action, so she hurriedly said, "It’s okay, it’s okay, I just got here."
"My classmate asked me to come and help, but my abilities are limited, so I might not really be able to help."
Dai Linfang laughed and said, "Dr. Ni, you’re too modest."
"..."
Lu Cheng did not interrupt while the two talked, but after Dai Linfang finished speaking, he said, "Teacher Ni, can we know what topics you’re currently working on?"
Ni Xixin shook his head, "I can’t say, otherwise if the main party pursues responsibility, none of us can bear it."
Mu Nanshu quickly said, "He’s an outsider in scientific research and doesn’t quite understand the rules, Xiao Ni, don’t take it to heart."
"We can talk about specific things."
Ni Xixin’s eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Lu doesn’t know much about scientific research but can lead a team to do all these things; is it all by talent?"
"That’s even more rare."
"..."
The main conversation during the meal fell into the hands of Mu Nanshu, Xie Yuan’an, and Ni Xixin, the group of girls.
After eating, Lu Cheng and the others immediately took Ni Xixin into their laboratory.
After entering the lab, Lu Cheng noticed a slight change in Ni Xixin’s expression. Compared to the lab she used to be in, the one here was too rudimentary, more like an amateur setup.
Lab conditions are hardware facilities, which vary due to different geographical locations.
But when Ni Xixin saw Mu Nanshu’s experiment notebook, her expression started to become serious, and she adhered to the rules by merely checking the flow of experiments without dwelling much on the data and results.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
Ni Xixin is a professional researcher, so Mu Nanshu showed her the research group’s project route planning book.
Unlike the proofs in absolute fields like mathematics, the overall planning of medical research topics is also very important.
In fact, it was Ni Xixin’s first time seeing these things, and Dai Linfang, who Ni Xixin viewed as an ’old-timer,’ was also seeing them for the first time.
So, Dai Linfang’s eyes kept sweeping over the experimental notebook and project planning book, grabbing at the words inside.
After reading, he couldn’t help but glance towards Lu Cheng’s direction, but considering his dreadful performance today, he chose not to speak.
After seeing the basic materials of the lab, Ni Xixin went to the animal testing area, looking at the suturing technique "corpse" data and existing experimental model results.
After observing, Ni Xixin’s eyes lighted slightly and she said, "Sister Mu, you’re almost done with the experiments, just missing the special damage model, right?"
Mu Nanshu said, "Yes, Xiao Ni, if we can’t make the subsequent models, we’re not planning to continue. We want to quickly move to the next group of topics."
"That’s a bit of a waste, the completion degree of a topic greatly affects its overall quality. The more comprehensive the model classification, even if there’s a falsifying result, it will enhance the integrity of the topic."
Ni Xixin continued, "I just saw my classmate’s work operation room and I think it’s not impossible to reconstruct an extreme model of spleen rupture in rabbits."
Mu Nanshu quickly said, "I knew Xiao Ni, you would definitely have a way."
Ni Xixin then said, "Sister Mu, can I see Brother Lu’s liver suturing technique? Do we have operating materials in our lab?"
Before Mu Nanshu could speak, Lu Cheng quickly said, "I was on duty yesterday, so there’s no stock, but I can go buy it right away."
"It’s just a trivial thing."
"I’ll go and come back quickly."
Lu Cheng immediately turned and walked away.
Zhang Xibei offered, "Brother Lu, I’ll go with you."
"Perfect." Lu Cheng agreed with a smile.
Before getting involved in scientific research, Lu Cheng thought it was a brainy task where one person ascends and forcibly elevates everyone else.
But after getting involved, Lu Cheng realized that achieving results in scientific research requires not only good thinking, ideas, and plans but also a team and talents from various elements.
