Wei Zhenxue's father-in-law, Xia Yuanheng, was a puffy old man with white and soft cheeks, and he seemed to be easy to talk, his head was lightly lighting up following the rhythm of his son-in-law's speech.

Yang Rui found that this trick was very useful for Wei Zhenxue. Whenever the stupid old man's son-in-law started to turn a corner and was always ready to speed up to sprint towards negative EQ, the frequency of the old man's nodding would change, and Wei Zhenxue would cheer up and say Back to the topic.

It's like taming a dog.

Yang Rui looked at it with emotion, and Pavlov was nothing more than that.

The two sons-in-law gossiped for a few minutes, and Wei Zhenxue took the time to tell Yang Rui's request to borrow an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, handed Yang Rui's half-written thesis to him, and then looked at the father-in-law nervously.

Yang Rui smiled.

The paper was translated from English to Chinese, but it was still easy to read. Xia Yuanheng stroked his chin, read it twice quickly, and asked, "Have you ever used an ultraviolet spectrophotometer?"

"Yes. You can send someone to teach me. If you think my operation is good, let me use it." Yang Rui really needs someone to teach. When he was a graduate student, the ultraviolet spectrophotometer was not as big as a computer screen and weighed about the same as a watermelon, which was a very common experimental instrument. The current ultraviolet spectrophotometer is about the same size and weight as a large freezer, and the paper recorder is used to transmit data. It can be said that apart from theory, Yang Rui really does not know how to use such an antique.

Wei Zhenxue was worried that his father-in-law would disagree, so he hurriedly said, "I can teach you."

"You don't need to teach. There are laboratory rules in the laboratory. What do you teach?" Xia Yuanheng said decisively beyond his son-in-law's expectation: "Come on tomorrow, I'll say hello to the courtyard. You go to the laboratory to find time to learn how to use it. You should be able to learn it on Saturday. I’ll have someone register for you. You can use it from the afternoon, and you can use it until noon on Monday. Is two days enough?”

"Enough." Wei Zhenxue agreed without waiting for Yang Rui's answer, and looked at Yang Rui with triumphant eyes, as if to say: For our sake, your cigarettes and alcohol are all wasted.

Yang Rui couldn't bear to expose it, so he said goodbye politely and left. He purposely stayed at the corner of the stairs for a while, when he heard the hissing sound of plastic bags coming from behind him.

The cottony old man is confirming the gift.

Although Jiannanchun is not as famous as Moutai Wuliangye, it was still a rare good wine in the 1980s. In fact, famous cigarettes and wines at this time are rarer than those in later generations because of the need to supply tickets. After all, no matter how little the wages of migrant workers will be after 30 years,

The money I receive in a month can always be exchanged for one bottle or even several bottles of Moutai, it’s just a matter of reluctance.

This was not the case in the 1980s. People who had no connections wanted to find a famous wine ticket, and they had to know someone to pay more. The connections mentioned here are much more difficult than finding a primary school principal to settle down. , Most of them are people who don't care about money.

In the case of insufficient supply, the black market in big cities does not necessarily have a supply of goods, and if there is a supply of goods, they are sold to people familiar with them.

Yang Rui got his drink ticket from his uncle. The meat joint factory produces canned food and various other meat products, which can be exchanged for many light industrial products. This is where the comfort of state-owned enterprises lies.

Institutions like the Academy of Coal Sciences are quite pitiful. They are considered wealthy in the research institute series, but in terms of benefits, they are still not as good as front-line employees in enterprises.

The two bottles of Jiannanchun and a pair of peony cigarettes sent by Yang Rui can be used for major job transfers in the provincial capital. If it is changed to the Nanhu area, these two pieces of equipment can already be used as resumes for job hunting.

This is much brighter than a color photobook.

If Yang Rui hadn't invested his "blood capital", how could the cottony Xia Yuanheng let go easily.

As for Wei Zhenxue's pride, Yang Rui decided to let him continue to be proud.

This poor middle-aged tease, it is rare to encounter such a happy thing.

...

Pingjiang Coal Academy of Sciences.

This is a research institute hidden among flowers, shrubs and green cypress. Behind the ordinary red brick gate is a two-lane flat concrete road more than 100 meters long. The lawns, flower beds, shrubs and trees on both sides are spread out in steps. The vision is wide and close to nature. Also full of fragrance.

At the end of the road is a small square, at least 400 meters in size, with a circular flower bed the size of a tennis court dotted in the center, which contains roses, peonies and other flower trees, which are quite old.

The three-storey Soviet-style corner long building is the only building in the Coal Academy of Sciences. Behind the neatly divided windows, there are more than 40 offices of equal size. There are nearly 100 offices in the two corners, and the total scale is close to 300. So much so that the floor area of ​​this building can catch up with the small-scale communities of later generations.

Standing on the square, you can see some courtyard-like bungalows dotted on the other side of the arbor, and there is a sign in front of the door, but you can't see clearly what is written on it from a distance.

Wei Zhenxue took the initiative to introduce: "Several testing offices are in the west, and the boiler room, refractory laboratory and other places that are inconvenient to enter the main building are also there. Further forward, there are basketball racks on the wire fence, and several A badminton court or something."

"It's so big." After a rough calculation, this is a posture of hundreds of acres.

Wei Zhenxue smiled: "Is this still big? The small woods in front of the stadium... Well, you can't see it here. Anyway, the woods to the west used to be kilns, and there is a brick and tile factory owned by the Academy of Coal Science, which is used to make steel. At that time, we set up two blast furnaces and supplied refractory bricks to other units. At that time, there were brick embryos piled all over the floor. The bricks that were broken into two pieces by our children were also rushed for... "

It's so simple to expose the black history. When I came to the place where I grew up as a child, my emotional intelligence did not increase but decreased.

Yang Rui looked at Wei Zhenxue with the eyes of a biologist, and said casually: "The greening is pretty good."

"It's a bit too good. When I was still in the Academy of Coal Science and Technology, I often heard the sound of mice at night. Later, I asked my fellow villagers for two dogs and put them in the woods. Guess what happened? Three rabbits were caught!" Wei Zhenxue Smacking his lips, he exclaimed in admiration: "At that time, I always ate whole grains, and there was no oil in my stomach. I didn't expect the rabbit to be so fat..."

Yang Rui suddenly felt that he couldn't answer the conversation. It wasn't that there was nothing left to say, but that there were too many questions that he wanted to ask, and there was no point in asking them.

For example, you exposed your black history again. You originally went down from the Academy of Coal Sciences to the Nanhu Coal Science Institute. What was the reason for that time? What else could it be? It must be because it was funny.

For example, if a mouse is found, why not two cats, but two dogs? What else could it be? It must be because it was funny.

For example, why did two dogs catch three rabbits? Is it a dog with two rabbits in its mouth? Or a dog that held one in its mouth and stepped on it domineeringly under its feet? Is the dog also infected by you?

No, I was infected with the disease! Of course the dog caught one rabbit first, and then the other.

However, why didn't the dog hide in the woods and eat the rabbit secretly? The dog given by the fellow must not be like a trained hound, not eating prey. Or, is the two dogs not sharing the spoils equally?

No, there is something wrong with the distribution of spoils among dogs. They must come out when they are full. Alas, the two silly dogs are still infected with the disease. If I were a dog, I would hide the three rabbits left over in the tree hole and go out to pretend to be cute. The tree hole where the rabbits are hidden must be in a living tree. Above, the rabbit is wrapped in leaves, and then hugged with river mud. The tree hole must also be covered with some soil, not too much, it is best to get soil from other places...

It's over, I must be the one who was infected with the disease, and I don't really want to be a dog, what do you want to do in such detail... Hurry up and think about something else...

That's right, a dog can't be called a beggar... Maybe it can, anyway, it's a primate with four paws, as long as the forelimb can be lifted temporarily, and it can be rubbed with river mud...

Pooh, when did dogs become primates, I still study biology.

Is there a cure for the disease?

Certainly not, at least not in 1982. People in this era have not discovered this disease. Thinking about it this way, I always feel that something is wrong.

Yang Rui's eyes were glazed, and he suddenly felt that it was not worthwhile to get along with this middle-aged man for a long time just for a thesis.

Pay too much.

He still needs to borrow analytical balances, and he has to return things that he borrowed, and he has long-term contacts after coming and going—why do I want to think about this... Hurry up and think about something else...

"Here we are, this is Researcher Yuan." Wei Zhenxue's voice interrupted Yang Rui's random thoughts.

"Oh, funny... Researcher Yuan, hello, I'm Yang Rui." Yang Rui shook hands with the other party.

"Associate researcher. You can call me Yuan Shuo, and old Yuan is also fine." The researcher is a talkative person, and he probably knows Wei Zhenxue, and said with a smile: "Are you a student of Old Wei? Is it okay to be his student?" Easy."

"Although I'm not a student of Lao Wei, it's not easy." Yang Rui said something with deep emotion, his eyes lit up, he stepped forward quickly, and said, "This is the ultraviolet spectrophotometer."

The ultraviolet spectrophotometer displayed in front of him was white in color with a smooth paint surface, sitting calmly on the concrete floor. There was more than two meters of space left, front, back, left, and right, and the front was also covered with red flannelette, revealing only the lower half of the handwriting, with the word "Shimadzu" on it.

"Imported from Japan." Yang Rui said, and couldn't wait to lift off the red flannel.

"Don't move yet, be careful to break it." Yuan Shuo hurried on, but still didn't stop Yang Rui.

Three rows of more than twenty buttons were exposed in front of Yang Rui.

"It looks quite high-tech." Yang Rui said with emotion, if he took a partial photo and said that this thing is a prop in a sci-fi movie, some people would probably believe it.

Yuan Shuo said unhappily: "This is a large precision instrument. There are regulations on how to use it, and it is directly managed by the Science and Technology Commission. You have to listen to my lectures and pass the exam before you can use it."

Yang Rui nodded in agreement, and asked curiously, "Is this really a large precision instrument?"

"Of course, our institute has 12 of the 23 types of large-scale precision instruments stipulated by the state, such as mass spectrometers, X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, X-ray derivatives, infrared spectrophotometers, ultraviolet spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectrophotometers, and photoelectric direct reading spectrometers. , Fluorescence spectrophotometer..." Yuan Shuo is worthy of being the manager of the laboratory, and the name of the instrument came out of his mouth. At the same time, he picked up the red velvet cloth and carefully covered it on the ultraviolet spectrophotometer.

Yang Rui listened and watched, feeling unreal. When he was in graduate school, some antique instruments were still in use, especially for undergraduate experiments, and it was common to use instruments from the 1980s. However, people at that time had a completely different attitude towards today's large precision instruments.

After all, a brand-new domestic mid-range UV spectrophotometer costs more than 10,000 yuan. Although it will not be thrown away when it is worn out, there are often things that are too lazy to repair. As for the old ultraviolet spectrophotometer, it is natural to let the students ravage it regardless of its life or death.

However, the interesting thing is that the cheaper the antique-grade equipment, the longer it will live, maybe fewer and fewer people are willing to use it, or maybe those who persist in surviving have a long life...

Yang Rui touched the red velvet cloth on the instrument affectionately, and said with a smile: "Then let's start learning now."

"That's right, I'll teach you the theory first." Yuan Shuo activated the factor of being a good teacher, and his face brightened.

Yang Rui sighed and received an instrument manual that was at least 200 pages thick.

Yuan Shuo introduced several key points to him, satisfying the mood of educating students, and researchers began to visit him.

The first person to enter was a man with a raised nose. The upper third of the bridge of his nose has a protruding bone, like a bamboo joint, which is very eye-catching.

And this part is also called the "Nian Shang" position.

Yang Rui rubbed his nose and continued to read the manual in a strange mood.

However, the other party's first sentence made him unable to sit still.

"Who ordered an ultraviolet spectrophotometer for the weekend? I'm in a hurry to use it. Why didn't I see my name on the registration form?" The man with a knotted nose said loudly and was quite anxious.

Yuan Shuo calmed down and said: "If you register, you will book it. It doesn't matter if you have a name or not. Lao Jing, you have to worry, I will book you for Monday."

"The day lily was cold on Monday. I typed back my thesis, and they told me to change it. I was in a hurry. Lao Yuan, please check the name for me, and I will go directly to him. At worst, we can use it together."

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Yang Rui sighed, stood up, and said softly, "I ordered the ultraviolet spectrophotometer for the weekend."
