Chapter 129: A Large Amount of Knowledge Points (Requesting Subscription)

~16 min read 3,130 words

After Fang Ziye left Associate Professor Hong Zili's group meeting, Qian Qiaofeng followed him up, saying: "Xiao Fang, these are some of our group's current research projects and current research progress."

"My Master holds you in very high regard, so he asked me to give you some of these materials first."

"Ah? Senior Brother." Fang Ziye was stunned on the spot.

"It's not that, brother, you like looking at pictures, right..." Qian Qiaofeng said.

Geniuses have quirks; Qian Qiaofeng told Hong Zili about this habit, and Hong Zili handed these things over to Fang Ziye without any hesitation.

As if not afraid that Fang Ziye would leak them at all.

Fang Ziye's mouth corner twitched, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He shouted in his heart, Big Brother, this misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger.

Fang Ziye thanked him first, but after opening it and taking a look, he returned it to Qian Qiaofeng and said: "Senior Brother Qian, it's not appropriate for you to do this. How about this: you remove all the notes, I just want relatively pure pictures."

"Then you set a time limit, make it a PDF format."

Fang Ziye certainly couldn't take this thing; this thing was obviously a probe, Fang Ziye would only accept it if he were a brain-dead idiot.

"It's still Junior Brother Fang who is thoughtful." Qian Qiaofeng's gaze flashed, his eyes deep, as if implying something.

"By the way, Ziye, the small experiment you previously did for our group's junior fellow trainees is now about to start manuscript writing, but Master's meaning is that only Ziye you can be given a second authorship." Qian Qiaofeng said with a smile.

In articles within the research group, not to mention that whoever sees it gets a share, but at least those who participate with contribution will be listed as authors.

In a laboratory, second and third authorships being listed is a very common thing.

Actually, the workload within the group is often arranged according to needs; at least both Teacher Deng Yong's project group and Associate Professor Hong Zili's project group are like this.

There are also some project groups where exploitation is truly severe; those who actually do the work are only given a third or fourth authorship, while some who do nothing, or the teacher himself, take the corresponding author and first authorship all for themselves.

This causes those who do the work to feel unbalanced in their hearts, so there are many rumors on the internet.

And such things are not uncommon!

Hearing this, Fang Ziye hurriedly waved his hands: "Senior Brother, do you have something inconvenient to ask me directly, so you're probing me?"

How shameless would Fang Ziye have to be to calmly accept this kind of charity from others?

Master's feeding—Fang Ziye and he have the nominal relationship of teacher and student; speaking truthfully, half of his previous skills came from Master's feeding and words and deeds, so there was no psychological barrier.

But not much time had passed since then, and he hadn't helped other project groups complete any substantive operational progress; at most he had given some guidance on small operations, while the other things were operated by Qin Hang and Zhao Yanlin.

Just saying a few words and wanting a second authorship, and not even from the same project group as Teacher Deng Yong—then Fang Ziye's face would be too big.

"Ziye, these are small matters; this article isn't big, it's no great harm."

"We'll see when the time comes; anyway, article thickness doesn't weigh on the body." Qian Qiaofeng re—

Indeed, Fang Ziye's workload was genuinely accumulated by himself, not cobbled together from east and west, randomly thrown together.

At first, Qian Qiaofeng only thought that Fang Ziye had this picture-collecting habit because he wanted to create a mixed research result, stuffing all these pictures into his own article in one go.

Much academic fraud is done this way.

But Fang Ziye's current reply made him dispel this thought.

How could it be possible that Fang Ziye's own produced results were so many that he could just casually produce some and publish a few-point article easily; it was impossible that he needed to piece together other project groups' pictures and mix them into his article.

Moreover, it seemed that perhaps the matter of pictures being stolen within his own group had nothing to do with Fang Ziye either.

First, Fang Ziye had just joined this group not long ago; second, the publication time of that picture and the time Fang Ziye joined the group had a margin of error, so Fang Ziye's side still didn't need further verification and elimination.

"Senior Brother Qian, I'm going to our small group first." Fang Ziye certainly hadn't forgotten that he needed to train the two junior fellow trainees, ask about and arrange their tasks after clarifying, and then do experiments with Luo Tingzhu.

Time passed in a flash, and ten days passed in a flash.

Fang Ziye at this moment was evidently the leader of the two junior fellow trainees, arranging tasks for each of them very clearly.

Lan Tianluo was responsible for data visualization; through data visualization, mastering the basic process of experiments and the writing work of articles.

Jie Han was responsible for the manuscript draft of the article, and classifying and processing pictures of different experimental groups, so as to more deeply confirm Lan Tianluo's recognition and reading of experimental result pictures.

Fang Ziye was responsible for part of the initial draft, and doing animal experiments.

As for Fang Ziye's Master, he was responsible for the discussion part of the article, extensively reading literature, and based on the experimental results already available, constantly assembling, extracting useful literature from the sea of literature for everyone in the group to read.

At the same time, Yuan Weihong was still responsible for the initial draft writing of the general project grant application.

Fang Ziye's experimental progress was too fast, so that the part Fang Ziye originally planned to submit for the general project grant application was all done by Fang Ziye himself, and it would be used soon, so there was no time to apply for the general project.

It's better to publish the article as early as possible; strive to finish writing by the end of April, with everyone in the team working together, and then send it out.

Naturally, Yuan Weihong had other tasks.

Undergraduate functional experiment teaching; when teaching functional experiments, he also arranged a small school-level project for himself, namely a comparison of PBL+TBL learning methods, which was a small project related to purely teaching projects.

Fang Ziye didn't pay particular attention...

Outpatient clinic, surgery, not one could be missed.

But the one change was that Fang Ziye had no time for the outpatient clinic; Yuan Weihong still didn't take Jie Han, but let Lan Tianluo go to his outpatient clinic now, occasionally switching to Jie Han for a change of flavor.

It was estimated that Jie Han's flavor was too strong; no one could stand it.

Fang Ziye gradually integrated into Associate Professor Hong Zili's team, never talking nonsense, only doing things; occasionally collecting some pictures, and after collecting, directly processing cross-sections in front of them.

Only retaining unpublished partial parts as proof of his innocence.

Simply admitting it, that he had a small hobby of collecting these result pictures.

It didn't matter; anyway, no matter how much they misunderstood, with knowledge points to meddle for wool, Fang Ziye wouldn't miss it.

Over these ten days, Fang Ziye's life and the growth of knowledge points could be said to be very fulfilling.

Fang Ziye not only got to know most of the people in Hong Zili's group, including Qian Qiaofeng's mysterious Senior Brother Duan and a group of junior fellow trainees.

At the same time, in Associate Professor Hong Zili's group, all their recent experimental results were openly shared with Fang Ziye, and after Fang Ziye partially participated, the knowledge points brought by the daily feeding to Fang Ziye were huge—

Fang Ziye's own daily experimental knowledge point income was roughly around 18-25 points, averaging 20 points. And Associate Professor Hong Zili's team, plus the experimental result pictures of other fellow trainees in Teacher Deng Yong's experimental team, after being trimmed by Fang Ziye, still had a daily knowledge point gain of around 20 points.

Such speed was simply terrifying; it made Fang Ziye in just ten days accumulate knowledge points again to 400+, precisely 407.2 points, equivalent to 80% of the progress from Level 3 to Level 4 skills.

One day, Fang Ziye had free time; finally returning from the Animal Laboratory to the Basic Laboratory, Luo Tingzhu was alone operating the relevant experimental operations of her school-level project.

Moreover, Luo Tingzhu's talent is also quite high; by now she has basically nearly completed this school-level project, and according to her estimate, at most after she goes overseas she will only leave Fang Ziye a little bit of a task, and can even complete the task perfectly, leaving only going overseas to write the paper.

Taking advantage of this time, Fang Ziye once again carefully calculated the ratio between his own knowledge points and RMB.

Not knowing is one thing; once compared, it is simply frightening.

The ratio of basic experiments to knowledge points is roughly 150:1, but the ratio for animal experiments is 800-1000:1!

That is to say, with the same money, the cost used for animal experiments, if diverted to basic experiments, Fang Ziye could obtain over six times the knowledge points.

"Damn, this really is something only rich people can afford." Fang Ziye did a quick calculation and felt it was very not worthwhile.

But doing experiments, one must not consider whether Fang Ziye thinks it is worthwhile or not, but must produce results and outcomes; that is the best thing.

It's just that the price of doing animal experiments is truly very expensive.

Moreover, if it weren't for being able to obtain the Youth Fund and the hospital's funding support, in the entire hospital, no one could afford the monthly expense of a dozen or so mice.

After Fang Ziye calculated this, he muttered: "No wonder sometimes Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing would complain..."

"Groups with money have papers; groups with money can use money to smash out major papers. I heard they can even smash out high-scoring quality papers of thirty-something or even forty points with several million, while such experimental directions, without money, are not even worth thinking about."

"Such experimental results, even with money, are also not worth thinking about; once done they can be published."

If such experiments, compared to medical basic experiments, are nobles.

Then animal experiments compared to basic cell experiments are also petty nobles.

"Senior Brother, why the worried frown?" Luo Tingzhu approached, looking at Fang Ziye at a loss, and asked softly.

Luo Tingzhu's voice was soft and gentle, lacking the generosity and heroic spirit she had in the department, only her movements remained poised and unconstrained, not so restrained.

Fang Ziye turned slightly: "Oh, nothing, I just came over to check on Jie Han and Lan Tianluo's experimental progress."

Luo Tingzhu did not pick up on this line.

Instead she conveniently shifted the topic: "Senior Brother, recently a visiting doctor came to the department, one is from Enshi Central Hospital, and he was asking about you."

Fang Ziye was still thinking how long Luo Tingzhu would continue to cold-shoulder her relationship with Lan Tianluo when he heard a topic related to himself.

Enshi Central Hospital is the unit he will go down to the countryside for half a year this April.

But it was only decided privately; it shouldn't be known so early by everyone at Enshi Central Hospital, unless the director there is an idiot.

"What did they say? They still recognize me." Fang Ziye put away his speculative thoughts, moved a stool closer to where Luo Tingzhu was, and asked.

"Not recognize; they also heard it from others. It should be one of the junior trainees."

"That visiting Doctor Li said that currently in the group, it's just me and you, plus Senior Brother Dong, the three of us have good research; if the opportunity is suitable, we can let him bring a paper with us."

"The price is negotiable." Luo Tingzhu added expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye's face darkened slightly: "Tingzhu, you didn't agree to this kind of thing, right?"

Academic fraud, whether selling papers or buying papers, once verified, are both academic stains.

"Senior Brother, I naturally didn't agree; it's just that this Doctor Li's attitude is rather persistent, and he said as long as it's a second-author or third-author SCI, it will be of great help for his professional title promotion."

"If they promote to deputy chief physician, even CSCD can be used. In prefecture-level city hospitals, if it's just for title promotion, the academic requirements are not high." Luo Tingzhu explained patiently.

"But I feel Doctor Li will still come find Senior Brother you alone to talk." Luo Tingzhu was a bit worried.

Through this period of interaction, Luo Tingzhu had figured out Fang Ziye's only shortcoming —

Poor.

Not that his family is poor, but Fang Ziye's entire person, top to bottom, is poor to the point of jingling.

A few days ago, he was even subsidized by Yuan Weihong, only then barely reaching his usual living baseline, so Luo Tingzhu feared Fang Ziye might agree to such a request.

"Let him come find me; what money should be earned, what money should not be earned, I still have a clear idea in my heart."

"Good thing I've worked hard recently; otherwise this old brother's current state would be my future life portrait." Fang Ziye laughed self-mockingly.

If no fortuitous encounter occurs, Fang Ziye estimates he would just be destined to graduate with CSCD and enter a prefecture-level city hospital; although Fang Ziye naturally wouldn't need to seek help from others on tool-type and water papers, without quality papers, wanting to achieve something in the future, the upper limit is just an ordinary attending physician.

Still have to see how big the future competition is.

"What's this Doctor Li like? I've basically had no contact with him recently." Fang Ziye doesn't not know Doctor Li; it's just that in clinical work Fang Ziye basically just checks in and leaves, concentrating on doing experiments.

"His character is quite straightforward; he often treats fellow trainees to meals."

"But his purpose is also very strong. Even some junior trainees said this Doctor Li still wants to find a way to get an in-service doctorate, but currently our hospital no longer recruits in-service doctorates. So he didn't go find those several professors." Luo Tingzhu told Fang Ziye the information she had gathered.

Utilitarianism is actually not scary; everyone advances toward utility.

"How is Doctor Li's clinical operation ability?" Fang Ziye asked again.

Although Doctor Li cannot represent Enshi Central Hospital, a Doctor Li competent to be a deputy director physician can, to a certain extent, represent Enshi Central Hospital's molding ability and average level in clinical specialty.

Luo Tingzhu thought seriously: "Stronger than us, but slightly weaker than Teacher Qin Geluo, but not by much."

Fang Ziye was startled upon hearing this.

This Doctor Li is not that old in age, comparable to Yuan Weihong.

The reason he could promote to deputy chief physician so early is because he started working early, entered middle-level attending physician early. He graduated with a master's and then solidly muddled six years as attending to achieve his current deputy chief physician.

And in the era when he graduated with a master's, one letter was enough.

But even so, it also represents that this Doctor Li's clinical talent is not weak.

The talent represented by Qin Geluo is the relatively best quality student of this batch, a "talent" who can be retained; when Qin Geluo graduated with a doctorate, he could benchmark passing the doctoral training room.

Doctor Li being able to catch up to this gap on the basis of being three years older than Qin Geluo is already quite remarkable.

"Enshi Central Hospital is still quite impressive; in our local area it is the best; except for Yi City, other places' medical resources cannot compare to Enshi Central Hospital."

"After I go there, I should be able to learn quite a lot." Fang Ziye smiled satisfied.

Luo Tingzhu also nodded, saying words Fang Ziye had never heard before: "Naturally; Teacher Deng Yong said, Senior Brother you have the most potential explosion when you are alone, rest assured and boldly doing one thing."

"For example when you charge the training room, the speed you charge is incredibly fast; for example when you do experiments full-time, the speed and quality of doing experiments can only be described with a single 'high' character."

"Even Teacher Deng Yong said, once Senior Brother you formally enter clinical practice, you might even explode with unimaginable potential."

"After all, three years learning surgery, half a lifetime of foundation, a lifetime of theory." When Luo Tingzhu said this, her gaze had a few flashes, as if sizing up Fang Ziye, then secretly comparing with herself.

Then she smiled briskly; she discovered she might not measure up.

It's fine if you can't compare; just keep walking forward with effort. Many who can't compare to her still work hard, and can still become very good doctors.

Do everything within your ability, learning medical skills with utter disregard for anything else.

"I'll go in and take a look first." Fang Ziye felt that chatting further might seem like showing off, so he cut off the topic like this.

Luo Tingzhu, meanwhile, was immersed in a newly opened bioinformatics analysis article, continuing to hone her capability for this kind of tool article, bioinformatics analysis...

Two hours later, when Fang Ziye came out of the laboratory bringing Jie Han and Lan Tianluo, Lan Tianluo left early in a very proper and tactful manner, not inappropriately leaning toward Luo Tingzhu's direction at all.

Seeing Lan Tianluo's mood slightly disappointed, Jie Han hurriedly gave Fang Ziye a meaningful look, then chased after him, forming the perennial duo, heading downstairs to arrange a meal.

Fang Ziye, for his part, glanced at his adorable knowledge points adorably rushing toward 430, and silently walked over to Luo Tingzhu's side.

He asked softly: "Go to my home to eat blood cake plus crispy meat?"

No honorific used, a few degrees of ambiguity.

Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu's previously somewhat slack upper body hurriedly sat upright, her ears even perking up.

Immediately following without hesitation, she snapped her laptop shut and hurriedly began packing up.

Judging by the expression on her side face, she was a bit salivating...
