Chapter 13: Competition_1

With the flipping of pages,

the joy on Yang Guangye's face had already overflowed, unable to be contained.

In his eyes was endless admiration and amazement, impossible to fully express or exhaust.

"Really fantastic!"

"Tsk, tsk... so young and yet capable of proposing such hypotheses and questions!"

"This is truly a natural flair for combining research and clinical practice!"

"The perfect fusion of clinical and research thinking, it's truly unbelievable!"

Yang Guangye sat there, speaking to himself involuntarily, his words full of boundless praise.

Over the years, aside from making allowances for Yang Li in the lab, Yang Guangye was an absolutely rigorous leader.

He spoke and acted with solemnity and no frivolity.

He rarely praised people.

Even if some professors made mistakes, he would criticize them straightforwardly without mincing words.

Yet today, if those experts saw Dean Yang's demeanor, they would undoubtedly be shocked.

By this time, Yang Guangye had stopped reading the book; his attention was completely focused on Chen Gong's questions.

These questions often provided him with unique insights.

And as he thought of answers to these questions, he could quickly fill in the gaps in his own understanding.

Truly a rare occurrence!

Who would have thought that questions from a twenty-year-old could help a doctoral mentor at Shanhe Medical University with experimental hypotheses?

"Are these the kind of questions a 20-year-old would think of?"

Even Yang Guangye couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle can be applied in clinical research; it can completely use intermediary products to detect early signs of certain diseases, after all, human biological operation is metabolism—if there is a problem with any part of it, there will definitely be early signs."

"However... to fully utilize the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in clinical practice, it might be necessary to address the problems that arise when the Carnot Cycle is also in play."

"Hmm, the answer hasn't been found yet, perhaps it should be sought in experiments."

...

After spending more than two hours, Yang Guangye had essentially finished going through all the notes.

However, Yang Guangye sat in silence, his mind racing.

After considering Chen Gong's hypotheses and doubts, the bottleneck in his own mind seemed to have loosened.

At this moment, Yang Guangye's thoughts were crystal clear, and he quickly pulled out a pen to start frantically recording his thoughts.

Time ticked away by the second.

When Yang Guangye looked up again, a smile had already spread across his face.

This kid!

He had really brought him too many surprises.

All of a sudden, Yang Guangye was eager to meet Chen Gong.

A child with such talent must be cultivated in a timely manner, and given enough time, he would surely become a rare gem.

It was a pity that the current scientific thinking was still too naive.

Too young, too simplistic!

If he were properly nurtured under his own guidance, he would probably be able to independently design some research topics by the time he finished his master's and doctoral degrees.

Yang Guangye's lips curled into a smile as he closed the book, and only then did he notice that there was also a piece of paper clipped to the first page; he picked it up with interest.

"I believe that if we want to apply the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle to clinical research, we need to address the following issues!"

"First: Use isotope labeling techniques to determine the efficiency of forward and reverse reactions in certain specific areas, then calculate a corresponding formula to arrive at a numerical value."

"Second: Study this numerical value in clinically normal people to establish a normal range."

"Third: Conduct studies on diseased populations to obtain a numerical value, which reflects the efficiency of forward and reverse reactions, indicating a disturbance in the Carnot Cycle in certain areas."

"Fourth: Identify the reasons for the imbalance in the Carnot Cycle and conduct research on the pathogens responsible."

"Fifth: By using Probe Technology, produce single-strand DNA of the pathogen in question, and then through PCR probe fluorescence technology, precise detection of infection is possible."

...

Yang Guangye's gaze was fixed tightly on the note; the more he read, the more rapid his breathing became, the more his heart weighed heavily, his pupils even narrowed.

This...

These weren't just questions!

The young man had already designed a complete system of thought for the clinical research application of the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle.

And the key was...

This system of thought was astonishingly similar to what he himself was getting ready to work on!

At this moment, even the staid and experienced Yang Guangye couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

He held that piece of paper in both hands, even trembling slightly!

Impossible, right?!

It shouldn't be possible...

Yang Guangye hurriedly took out his own recent writings, compared them in silence with a tense face,

and then suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter!

"Great!"

"Awesome!"

"Hahahaha..."

"Fantastic!"

Yang Guangye hadn't expected a beginner to come up with the same thing as him.

He had actually thought of the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle and the Carnot Cycle, that is, the difference in the net values between the forward and reverse reactions.

Moreover, it was about designing a single strand for PCR probe fluorescence technology to create reagents.

Truly amazing!

However...

Could this kid possibly understand probe technology?

After all, whether it's calculating the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle or the Carnot Cycle, one needs to mark the carbon source.

Even PCR techniques and probe technologies call for molecular biology techniques.

This kid...

Could he possibly know that too?!

Yang Guangye couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy... He's really not normal!"

"So weird!"

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Yang Guangye simply said, "Come in."

Qin Xuehai walked in with a smile and asked Yang Guangye with a grin, "What's got Dean Yang so happy?"

Although Qin Xuehai was only part of the anatomy teaching and research group here, he was, after all, director of the affiliated hospital's surgery department and one of the people in charge of the university's surgical teaching work.

So, in terms of industry influence, the two were actually neck and neck.

Upon hearing the voice, Yang Guangye smiled and hurriedly said, "Have a seat, have a seat, Qin, hehe, let me pour you a nice cup of tea."

Qin Xuehai smiled slightly, "That won't do, you definitely have some good news, and you think you can fob me off with just a cup of tea. Come on, spit it out, what's up?"

Yang Guangye squinted and said with a grin, "Well, I've discovered a great talent in the field of biochemistry!"

"If nurtured properly, his achievements will definitely not be less than mine."

"Ah, I'm really so happy."

"Tonight, I'll arrange it, let's have a drink."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuehai immediately felt some envy. For teachers, apart from scientific research, their greatest achievement was having pupils all over the world.

If there was a talented student, it was definitely something to be happy about for them.

It could even be said to be a matter of lighting up the family name, a good thing for the entire mentor lineage.

After all, great teachers produce great students!

Qin Xuehai smiled and said, "Then we must have a drink to celebrate."

"Is it one of this year's master's or Ph.D. students?"

"Oh, oh, oh... You're not talking about Liu Yuxiao, are you?"

"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guangye immediately shook his head, "Hehe, Liu is not bad, but compared to this one..."

In the middle of his sentence, Yang Guangye pursed his lips and shook his head, "Worlds apart!"

Qin Xuehai was astonished, "Are you serious?"

"Is there really such a big difference?"

"Who is it? I've got to meet them..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guangye immediately shook his head and quickly gathered up the books and notes, casting a wary glance at Qin Xuehai:

"Hehehe."

"That, let's talk about it later, later!"

"By the way, what did you want to see me for?"

Qin Xuehai, looking at the stingy Yang Guangye, became even more curious; he had never seen Yang Guangye act so fussy before.

How incredible could this person be?

Qin Xuehai rolled his eyes, "Look at you, acting like you've never seen the world, who cares?!"

Yang Guangye immediately shook his head, "Hey, don't say that!"

"I really do care!"

"Care so much it's ridiculous."

Yang Guangye, in an excellent mood, even started using the local Shanhe Province dialect.

Qin Xuehai couldn't be bothered to pay attention, "Anyway, I came to talk to you about something important."

"The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education are organizing a joint anatomy skills competition, with participation from medical universities all over the country."

"It's a high-profile event!"

"Our university will participate too, and I plan to select some outstanding talents from within the school."

"Unrestricted by major, but they must be under 30."

...

ps: This book has been put to trial on a tentative promotion, the first round, and if it doesn't make it through the first round, it's really done for. I hope everyone can follow the new book so that the big data recommendations can see the follow-through data during the launch period. Thank you!
