Chapter 544 Waterloo (5)
Revisiting the old place.
This is my sister Li Li’s hometown, not my sister’s.
What Shen Guanglin took here, he knew best. Only his sister was still in the dark, thinking that this was an ordinary city.
In fact, there is nothing ordinary here.
No, in just half a day, she felt how popular Professor Shen Guanglin was in the city of Los Angeles.
This is the place where Shen Guanglin became famous!
They settled in a hotel near the University of California, Los Angeles. Ever since Shen Guanglin agreed to give a lecture the next day, the entire campus was in a state of excitement.
Posters were quickly posted everywhere.
It says: The Great Eastern Shen will hold a lecture at 10 a.m. tomorrow, followed by the location and viewing requirements.
That's right, tickets are required, and they're not cheap. It's true that in this evil capitalist country, attending lectures is not free.
Therefore, if Professor Shen charges US$50,000 for a class, he can earn almost US$77,88, or even a small surplus.
Here, there is no need to say the name at all, just say "Dongfang Shen", and they will know that it is Professor Shen Guanglin.
Of course, there were also people who specifically re-confirmed whether it was the Chinese Dongfang Shen.
Of course it is.
Although, Shen Guanglin hasn't been here for more than a year.
However, he seems to be more popular.
This year is not an ordinary year. There have been many new developments in the scientific and technological world this year, the biggest of which is the explosion of nanotechnology proposed by Shen Guanglin.
It’s simply amazing, isn’t it?
The situation in China is calm, but the situation in Citigroup is turbulent.
Shen Guanglin's name has been cited far more times than his papers.
In many people's papers, it is written: After Dongfang Shen proposed the nanometer theory, I imagined...
In particular, the preparation method of nanomaterials proposed by Shen Guanglin is simple and crude, making almost everything breakable.
Some people even got excited and mixed various nano-hybrid materials at will, and then verified their physical and chemical properties one by one.
Entrepreneurs are the most sensitive. Some companies have launched new nanomaterials in a timely manner, defeating their peers who use traditional materials and are unable to fight back.
Some people have even begun to say: Professor Shen alone promoted the third industrial revolution.
This...isn't the third industrial revolution the era of information technology?
Well, computer technology is indeed not good enough now and needs some more time to develop.
In particular, the vigorous development of software technology is a symbol of the maturity of the third industrial revolution.
However, in the past two years, the development of nanotechnology can really be described as rapid.
There are endless preparation methods for various new nanomaterials. In addition to low-end grinding, there is also high-end vapor deposition. This has directly led to the emergence of more mysterious materials one after another, and has also allowed some magical materials that have been kept secret for countless years to be easily disclosed. Crack.
Nanomaterials have actually been around for a long time, and the application of this technology has also been around for a long time.
However, this layer of window paper was pierced by Shen Guanglin, and he also constructed the entire theoretical system.
He is the undisputed father of nanomaterials.
What is great, this is great.
Professor Shen is here!
Many people rushed to tell each other, because otherwise it would be too late, and they only had half a day, so it would be more serious to sell the tickets quickly.
The time was so tight that there was no time to warm up in advance. We could only mobilize some people to sell food on the street, just like a singer holding a concert.
Li Rong saw that many Chinese people donated money one after another and did not mind that the ticket price was expensive.
Los Angeles is also known as the City of Angels, the capital of Chinese people, and there are also a large number of Chinese people who have settled here.
However, China is relatively weak now, and the motherland is not yet strong, so they are closer to Wanwan.
In the past, most of the famous scientists came from Wanwan or were inextricably linked to Wanwan.
Yang Zhenning did it, so did Li Zhengdao, and so did Ding Zhaozhong.
There is no way, this is a foreign country, they need a strong support, but no one can give it to them yet.
By the time Shen Guanglin studied abroad, the international students had no status at all. Even the native banana people would say that they were Chinese.
What's wrong with being a Chinese? China is getting stronger and stronger, and being a Chinese is getting more and more proud!
However, it is still 1986, and countless Chinese in Los Angeles have begun to feel proud of Shen Guanglin's achievements.
Even when many Chinese media learned that Professor Shen had come to Los Angeles, they rushed over to interview him.
Shen Guanglin refused. He is a low-key person. He has a lecture tomorrow. He is too tired today. Let's take a rest first and then be interviewed tomorrow.
It's not easy to get over jet lag on a plane, especially since he has to move a lot with his hands. Now, the two of them still need to rest more in the hotel.
However, none of this affected getting up the next day.
The next day, after breakfast, Shen Guanglin went to UCLA on time.
The lecture started as scheduled, and the audience gathered in the audience, including many elderly professors and lecturers. The market situation in China is different.
In China, although Shen Guanglin's lectures are also very popular, few teachers and professors attend them, as if this is a shame.
Today's lecture must have been a success, and everyone learned a lot from it.
However, if we ask them carefully what Professor Shen said, they can't tell.
I just think Professor Shen is great.
Shen Guanglin still talked about some practical information, although it was mixed with a lot of water and private information.
He talks about how to open up your mind and find shortcuts to scientific and technological discoveries.
Are there shortcuts to scientific and technological discoveries? Many people are asking.
Of course there is, otherwise how could the great Professor Shen achieve such fruitful results?
Shen Guanglin said that he is not a genius. Many people are better at mathematics than him, many are younger than him and older than him, and many are more handsome than him. However, when combined with these conditions, most of them are not as good as him.
The students in the audience laughed.
Humor is an essential skill for a successful scholar, and Shen Guanglin has mastered it very well.
However, how to take this shortcut requires sharp thinking.
For example, he asked someone to research insect-resistant cotton, and what he was thinking about was how to make cotton bollworms die if they eat them, but humans and animals would be fine if they eat them.
Searching in this direction, he finally found such bacteria and decomposed such gene fragments.
For example, someone Shen wanted to study cloned cattle. He thought that mammals are not as good as oviparous animals. How can the cell nuclei be stably extracted?
After much deliberation, it is easier to extract unfertilized egg cells.
The same is true when studying nanomaterials.
He, Shen, was thinking about what it would be like to shrink matter to its physical limit, what methods could be used, and would its physical and chemical properties change?
It has been proven that it will change.
This is how Shen Guanglin achieved success.
Amidst everyone's reluctance, we received US$50,000.
Even Mei Renguan lamented that Professor Shen was even better at cheating money than she was. Even though she had eaten and slept with her for so many days, Boss Liu would not have given her $50,000.
Professor Shen just told a few short stories, and he was willingly offered tens of thousands of dollars and expressed his sincerity.
At the end of the lecture, Shen Guanglin also brought up another accidental discovery he made, which was also the first Waterloo he encountered.
Why, Professor Shen also encountered Waterloo? Everyone suddenly became interested
Of course, although Professor Shen is very handsome, he is not a god after all.
The thing is, Shen Guanglin said that when his laboratory was conducting research on insect-resistant cotton, he himself had imagined a technology for amplifying nucleic acid sequences in large quantities in vitro, that is, PCR.
This technology is actually not difficult, but no one has done it before.
So he, Shen, didn't pay attention and missed it.
Of course, in practical applications, he asked people to use this method to amplify nucleic acid sequences, and then the research was successful.
However, this technology of in vitro amplification of nucleic acid sequences happened to be developed at the same time by someone, namely Mullis of Western Corporation, who was a chemist.
This technology is very useful, and his Shen Guanglin laboratory has developed it into the second and third generation technology. However, the patent for this technology was registered in advance by West Company.
Professor Shen has too many achievements worthy of the Nobel Prize. He will not compete with Mullis for the right to invent and discover PCR.
Now, he just hopes that West can make this project technology public or share it.
Because Professor Shen’s laboratory has more mature and better technology, but because there is no first-generation patent, no one can use it.
It would be a pity that such a good technology cannot be promoted and used by itself, and West cannot move forward.
In fact, Shen Guanglin organized research after others published articles and patents. As a comparison, it is natural that he made faster progress than others.
Now it's time to force her to have a baby.
This is Professor Shen’s Waterloo.
