Chapter 54 – Eighteen Hundred Cockroaches!

Chapter 54 Eighteen hundred cockroaches!

The description of the healing story is only a few strokes, but in reality, from the beginning of the reaction to the generation of matter, it took more than three days.

This speed is actually quite fast in the field of synthesis. Some more complex reactions require hundreds of hours of static observation. A project team of hundreds of people spent four to five months for a few tenths of a milligram of the final product.

If there is a slight mistake in the whole process, all previous efforts may be wasted.

This is the risk of biochemistry, but also its charm.

After confirming that the fourth-generation imidacloprid—or the new ring-mounted compound can be routinely prepared, Xu Yun immediately asked Qiu Sheng to take charge of the data collection.

He himself left the laboratory, took out his phone in the aisle, and dialed a number.

After a while, a female voice came from the microphone:

“Hello. Who is this?”

“Sister Jiajia, I, Xu Yun.”

“Oh, Xiao Xu, what’s the matter?”

“Sister Ha Jiajia like this, I’m doing an experiment on cockroach medicine these days, can the cockroaches in your insect laboratory kill me?”

“No problem, how much do you want? When will you come and get it?”

Xu Yun thought for a while and said:

“300 Dubia, 500 each of the Oriental cockroach, German cockroach, and American cockroach, depending on the time. Is it convenient for you now?”

After a while, a refreshing reply came from the other side of the microphone:

“One thousand and eight hundred is just, okay, I’ll prepare it for you now, come and get it.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, took the elevator out of the medical center building, and walked towards the west district.

The West District of HKUST is undoubtedly the area with the largest number of cutting-edge laboratories besides Science Island, and it is extremely mysterious.

Many people who don’t know HKUST are often very surprised:

Why does HKUST not have a few national key laboratories, but many majors are still ranked so high?

The reason is very simple, because HKUST has 2 national laboratories (in fact, it should be counted as two and a half now, as for the half of which is going to Baidu), this is the best among all universities.

What kind of concept is this? It is no exaggeration to say that one national laboratory is equal to more than ten national key laboratories.

So this is also a very magical place of HKUST:

There are only 20 national-level laboratories in China and under preparation, but HKUST has two of them, and it looks like there will be three. There are more than 300 national key laboratories in China, and HKUST has only two.

Among them, the well-known National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory is located in the West District of USTC. This is also the first national-level laboratory in China, and its significance and status are extraordinary.

Synchrotron radiation can be regarded as one of the six bases that are actually practicing the functions of national laboratories. The remaining microscales are a bit cold, and the measurement letter is still in preparation, but the results in the past few years are undoubtedly promising. .

In addition, there are anti-field fusion KTX laboratory, shock wave laboratory, etc.

In addition to many physics laboratories or research institutes, there are also some small laboratories or research institutes that are not well-known in the west area.

For example, at this moment, the room in front of Xu Yun.

Institute of Entomology.

This insect research institute is affiliated to the School of Life Sciences. The building has only three floors. There are more than 20 researchers in total, divided into six research directions.

After showing the access code, Xu Yun walked to a reception room with ease.

After a few minutes, a girl in a white coat with a ponytail came in:

“Xiao Xu? Are you here?”

Xu Yun hurriedly stood up upon hearing this, and greeted her with a smile:

“Sister Jiajia, long time no see.”

The visitor’s name is He Jiajia, a senior student of Xu Yuntong’s major. She is 27 years old this year and works as an associate researcher in the Institute of Entomology.

Xu Yun was able to be drawn closer to the group of penguins that protected the hairline, and He Jiajia was also one of his introducers.

After seeing Xu Yun, He Jiajia quickly handed over a few closed suitcases that were well-prepared for shading, which were the size of two suitcases:

“Here, all the cockroaches you want are here, 1,800 are just right.

Having said that, why did our genius Xu have the time to make cockroach medicine? Could it be that dinotefuran has made some new breakthroughs? “

Xu Yun took the suitcase and shook his head at the same time:

“It’s not dinotefuran, it’s imidacloprid.”

“Um, imidacloprid?”

Xu Yun nodded slightly towards her:

“That’s right, imidacloprid, but I can’t explain the specific situation in a few words. I may publish a paper or something later. Sister Jiajia, you can pay attention to it then.”

“What journal? Metallomics?”

“It’s hard to say, let’s fight for the third district.”

Xu Yun didn’t set too high a flag for himself, and had a brief conversation with He Jiajia, then turned around, took his leave and left.

After leaving the Entomological Research Institute, he returned to the laboratory with a portable biological box full of cockroaches, and joined Qiu Sheng and the others again.

Then with the assistance of Li Yan and others, they divided thousands of cockroaches into more than 20 petri dishes.

He Jiajia thoughtfully classified the sexes of the cockroaches on the basis of race this time. The ratio of male to female is about 1-4, with more females and males.

The cockroaches that Xu Yun took back this time are divided into four types:

Dubia, Blattella orientalis, Blattella germanica and Periplaneta americana.

Among them, Dubia’s positioning is biased towards pet rations, which is almost the same as cherry cockroaches.

Some lovers of spiders, centipedes, shoes, and ants will choose one of Dubia or mealworms for long-term feeding.

The remaining oriental cockroaches, German cockroaches and American cockroaches are all common cockroach species in China.

Among them, German cockroaches are common in the north, and American cockroaches are more common in the south.

The legendary southern cockroach that can fly to your mouth and even see the leg hair clearly refers to the American cockroach.

Xu Yun looked at the cockroaches crawling in the eco-box, and his expression was unusually dark.

Then he looked at Li Yan at the side, took a deep breath, and said:

“Xiao Li, prepare to test the medicine!”

Note:

It will be on the shelves in the early morning of the 1st, that is, after 12:00 on Friday night.

Dear book lovers, are you ready?

Recently, some students reported that they couldn’t see the comments after they were posted. It’s not that I deleted the comments, but that comments with sensitive words and pictures will be automatically reviewed recently. Except for emoticons, it seems that they are not easy to review.

Today’s chapter is sent on a regular basis. A teacher passed away yesterday. I had to catch the train last night. I have to deal with a lot of chores today. The update will be late, maybe early in the morning, but it will not be less.
