Chapter 49 We have to do something technical
As soon as I opened the door, the familiar smell of ammonia hit me.
Lu Liang couldn't help but grin. This rat room had been vacant for almost a month, and the smell still wouldn't dissipate.
Lu Liang walked to the window and pushed all the windows open, then turned on the ventilation fan in the rat room and began to check the lighting and other equipment.
The timing equipment of ventilation fans and light tubes are normal, the -40°C refrigerator in the mouse room is also normal, and the number of mouse cages is sufficient.
Lu Liang took out two large bags of low-fat feed, which was the food used to feed mice every day.
Just two packs of inconspicuous mouse feed weigh about 20kg, but their price is a full 6,000 yuan.
On average, 10g of feed costs 3 yuan.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Liang found that what he usually ate might not be as good as the several experimental mice in the cage!
Lu Liang stuffed two packets of low-fat feed into the refrigerator. These two packets of feed should be enough for this batch of mice for the entire experimental period.
Then the next thing is to clean all the mouse cages.
Thinking of this, Lu Liang looked at the people standing at the door.
Next to the faucet, Wang Tiancai's eyes were a little dull as he looked at the pile of mouse cages that was almost piled up in front of him.
This is different from what he imagined, completely different!
In Wang Tiancai's impression, when graduate students perform experiments, don't they always wear a brand-new white coat, stand in a clean laboratory, and then elegantly shake test tubes filled with colorful mysterious liquids?
But he is now?
With a toilet brush in his left hand and a steel wool ball in his right hand, he was scrubbing a pile of mouse cages full of mouse urine stains.
The white coat he was wearing was wrong. It could no longer be called a white coat. There were red patches and black patches on it. It felt like it had been dug out of a trash can.
Reality gave Wang Tiancai a hard time.
Don't be stunned, hurry up and brush, there are still a lot of mouse cages.
The person next to him reminded Wang Tiancai, and Wang Tiancai came back to his senses at this time.
Wang Tiancai, tell me, he is a sophomore, can he really lead us? A first-year graduate student was skeptical.
Wang Tiancai shook his head: Forget it, I feel very doubtful. No matter how powerful he is as a sophomore, how much can he know?
Another person also scoffed: I feel like I was tricked by my mentor. He asked me to come here to study. I think he just wanted me to be a free labor force.
Harmful, who is not good anymore, but what can be done?
Okay, stop complaining and hurry up and clean the cage.
Helping a sophomore student with chores made several people feel somewhat resentful, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After breaking a few brushes, all the mouse cages were cleaned.
Wang Tiancai and others carried the mouse cage into the rat room, and then placed the mouse cage heavily on the ground with resentment. He said to Lu Liang: The cage has been cleaned, that's all.
At this moment, Lu Liang and Shen Mei were moving the mice sent by the company into the mouse room one by one. After seeing the cages, Lu Liang said, Wipe them with medical alcohol again, and then spread them with bedding. In a cage.”
After hearing Lu Liang's words, Wang Tiancai frowned, and the resentment in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
You really use them as free labor, right?
Wang Tiancai frowned and said, It's not me. Can you respect us? We are graduate students. We are not here to do odd jobs. Can you give us something with technical content to do?
Can you take us with you? If you can't, just tell us earlier. Don't waste our time here.
Faced with Wang Tiancai's sudden questioning, Shen Mei looked at Lu Liang worriedly. Although she knew that Wang Tiancai and others were not convinced about helping Lu Liang study, she did not expect that Wang Tiancai would explode. So fast.
But after listening to Wang Tiancai's words, Lu Liang didn't show the slightest worry on his face. He scratched his head and said, Do you want to do something with technical content?
Yes, that's right. Wang Tiancai said with his hands folded across his chest.
The other first-year graduate students next to them also nodded.
Lu Liang thought carefully for a while, then he looked at a few people and said, Let's do this. We're going to gavage the mice later. This matter is quite technical. How about I leave it to you later? ?”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Tiancai and others fell silent for an instant.
How to administer gavage to mice? They don’t know how?
Wang Tiancai and others suppressed their blushes for a moment. They had just boasted about Haikou and said they wanted to do something with technical content, but the first thing Lu Liang proposed blocked them.
None of them will.
The atmosphere in the rat room was a little awkward for a while.
Lu Liang coughed dryly: It's okay, it won't be okay. The matter of gastric administration may be a bit difficult for you. Let's just change it.
After listening to Lu Liang's words, Wang Cai and the others couldn't help but feel relieved. They were afraid that Lu Liang would make a big fuss about this matter and ridicule them. They were thin-skinned and couldn't stand such ridicule.
However, this also made Wang Tiancai and others look strange.
Although Lu Liang was right, it was indeed difficult for the first-year graduate students to administer gavage to mice.
But when this sentence comes from the mouth of a sophomore student, it always gives people a strange feeling.
Lu Liang continued to think: Let's do this. Later, the mice need to have their ears tagged for random grouping. You guys can put ear tags on them. This should be fine, right?
This should be no problem, right?
Shit, this is a big problem.
Ear tags, they have never heard of what they are.
Lu Liang's question seemed to hit his soul.
Wang Tiancai and the others were speechless at this moment.
Once again, the rat room fell into dead silence.
Seeing Wang Tiancai, the others lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Lu Liang also had a troubled look on his face: If it really doesn't work, you will always use the random grouping on spss, right?
Still silent.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Wang Tiancai and the others now want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. This is really embarrassing.
The technical content of the things Lu Liang gave has dropped again and again, almost reaching the center of the earth, but none of them are capable of it.
Lu Liang grinned and asked tentatively: How about this? How many analytical balances are there? Adjust those analytical balances to the level. Is there any problem this time?
The silence continued.
Lu Liang had no choice in the end: Let's do this. You tell me what you know how to do, and I will arrange it for you.
What can you do?
Eat, sleep or play beans?
This thought couldn't help but appear in the minds of several people, and they suddenly realized that they seemed to really know nothing.
Dead silence lasted for a moment.
Suddenly someone among Wang Tiancai's group moved.
I'm going to clean the mouse cage.
As this person moved, several others also moved like dominoes.
I'll go lay some bedding for him.
I'll get the alcohol.
I'm going to wash the mop.
In an instant, everyone found what they should do and acted quickly one by one. Even Wang Tiancai was walking quickly with five or six mops on his shoulders, without any complaints from just now.
