75: Chapter 75 Zhao Yang's Test

Zhao Yang had only seen many of these steps in textbooks.

Or perhaps Li Tao had given him a rough explanation.

Seeing it in person was almost a first for him.

This kind of operation was also quite delicate; many of the actions involved were extremely professional.

Soon, they entered the enzyme treatment and centrifugation steps, using these two methods to remove proteins and cell debris.

Finally, the resulting clarified liquid was added to an electrophoresis tank containing agarose gel.

After turning on the power, a DNA band with an unusual position and unique brightness gradually became clear under the UV lamp!

"It's a success!"

The graduate students nearby had brightened expressions and shouted excitedly towards Professor Gu Ming.

Professor Gu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's not over yet. What follows is observation. We need to know if this special DNA achieves the effects and functions we expected."

Professor Gu Ming scanned the several students around him.

"Li Tao, Wang Xiaoyu, you two are responsible for observing and recording the report."

"Understood, Professor!"

Li Tao and Wang Xiaoyu nodded excitedly and shouted excitedly towards Professor Gu Ming, who was to the side.

Professor Gu Ming nodded.

The other graduate students nearby also began to move; this was a very important project for their research group.

No one wanted to miss such a good opportunity.

Everyone was observing, and the instruments nearby were also being utilized one after another.

For a moment, in the entire laboratory, only Professor Gu Ming, along with Gu Qing and Zhao Yang, were left behind.

"This experiment is quite advanced. Given your current level of knowledge, you are not yet able to learn such high-level Biology knowledge."

Professor Gu Ming seemed to see the overflowing curiosity in Zhao Yang's eyes; he smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang nodded.

He also understood that although he had basically finished learning university-level Biology, in this laboratory, his level of Biology was probably only slightly better than Gu Qing's, and that was all.

Zhao Yang asked some questions consistent with his level.

These were also things he was curious about.

Hearing Zhao Yang's questions, Professor Gu Ming was slightly surprised.

After answering Zhao Yang's questions offhandedly, a thoughtful look appeared in Professor Gu Ming's eyes.

Zhao Yang stayed in the Biology laboratory for another two or three hours, gaining some knowledge from Professor Gu Ming, and also familiarizing himself with and handling some laboratory equipment.

Then, he found an excuse to leave the laboratory.

There was no need to stay.

Laboratory equipment wasn't something he could just use however he wanted; getting familiar with it was enough, take it slow.

Hanging around in the lab now was a waste of time.

Watching Zhao Yang's back, Professor Gu Ming took a deep look at Gu Qing, who was beside him.

He slowly looked at Gu Qing and asked, "Qingqing, how much do you really know about this Zhao Yang?"

"Know? Didn't I tell you everything?"

Upon hearing Professor Gu Ming's words, Gu Qing was suddenly somewhat confused. Her eyes were full of bewilderment as she looked at Professor Gu Ming beside her.

Professor Gu Ming was silent for a moment.

He looked at Gu Qing and said, "The few questions Zhao Yang just asked me are generally only knowledge points you would come into contact with after your junior year, or perhaps even in graduate school. The questions he asked were very niche, but in Biology, his attainments are indeed not shallow!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Professor Gu Ming's words, Gu Qing was stunned, and an expression of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

Originally, the matter of Zhao Yang doing business was already enough to shock Gu Qing.

After all, a student who had just started college had already begun running a company!

This in itself was a very shocking thing. She hadn't told her uncle about this yet, because she felt it was a secret.

But unexpectedly, she had obtained another secret from her uncle.

From her uncle's tone, it could be inferred that Zhao Yang had probably finished learning the entire university Biology curriculum!

Because she had seen clearly the way Zhao Yang and her uncle were discussing things just now.

"This young man is truly outstanding!" Professor Gu Ming said with some emotion.

"Qingqing, your judgment is good!" As he said this, Professor Gu Ming's gaze turned towards Gu Qing, who was to the side, and he said with a slight smile.

"Uncle, what are you saying!"

Gu Qing's face flushed slightly, and she said to Professor Gu Ming with annoyance.

"It is good. This young man, after discussing with me for a while just now, I feel he is no worse than the seniors here! Based on the current situation, his future is limitless!" Professor Gu Ming's expression was somewhat emotional.

"You rate him so highly?" Gu Qing looked at Professor Gu Ming in shock.

She knew very well how high her uncle's standards were.

In Gu Qing's impression, Professor Gu Ming had almost never said the words "limitless future" to anyone.

Who would have expected?

"To be able to study Biology to this extent just after starting college, and look at his learning attitude? No matter from which angle I look at it, I feel his future is bright!" Professor Gu Ming smiled.

Zhao Yang, of course, was unaware of Professor Gu Ming's evaluation of him.

In fact, he didn't care too much about such evaluations, or rather, he knew Professor Gu Ming would evaluate him this way.

This was something he had worked hard to create for himself in the first place.

The few questions he asked Professor Gu Ming were, of course, not asked casually.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Zhao Yang had come prepared.

His purpose in joining the Biology laboratory was not to take it step by step.

If he had to take it slowly as an intern in the laboratory, wouldn't that take a year or two?

Zhao Yang had no such interest.

He wanted to do some experiments independently.

Or perhaps, join the research group to see if he could try to get his name listed on the "Tier 1" papers published by the research group.

He didn't know if there would be system rewards for being listed on a "Tier 1" paper.

But these things had to be tried!

How could there be so many independently completed papers?

According to Zhao Yang's understanding of the system, the system's nature would likely come up with some kind of contribution calculation method for him.

It would determine the amount of subject experience gained based on the degree of contribution to a paper.

Therefore, Zhao Yang wanted to try.

He asked those questions to deliberately attract Professor Gu Ming's attention.

To attract his attention, these questions were all carefully thought out by Zhao Yang!

After all, he was still in the development stage, and gaining a professor's appreciation was a necessary path.

Relying on himself to build a laboratory, even if he were good at making money, it would likely be very difficult without two or three years.

After all, in Biology experiments, many pieces of equipment are very expensive!

High-end cryo-electron microscopes easily cost tens of millions.

And other equipment, each one is also very expensive.

At this time, getting an old professor like Professor Gu Ming to appreciate him, to take him along to do experiments, or even to list his name on some papers, seemed to be very cost-effective.

However, Zhao Yang didn't know what kind of personality Professor Gu Ming had, and the purpose of doing this was actually just to probe.

After all, even if some professors appreciate you, it doesn't mean they will take you to do research, and even less does it mean they will let you put your name on a paper!
