Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 1416: Clone Sheep

"Is there any project that can't be known?" Houston thought about it all night, and the whole person lost sleep.

He has almost given up scientific research now, but if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the foundation, what he needs most is the connection he has established with Yang Rui.

Yang Rui is Chinese, his research, his achievements, and his thoughts need to be translated for Europeans. Houston is such a translator, or rather, a tap-type academic broker.

Describe it in biological jargon. If Yang Rui is a DNA, Houston is a transcription factor. When Yang Rui's genes need to be expressed, he needs the cooperation of transcription factors.

However, there can be multiple transcription factors, but the only gene that Houston can transcribe is Yang Rui.

Therefore, Yang Rui's projects and ideas are very important to Houston.

That is to say, biologists at Houston's level are qualified to transcribe Yang Rui's genes. Otherwise, ordinary people don't even know how to express it, and how to transcribe it.

Also because of people in the circle, Houston also knows how serious it will be for biologists to be blackened.

If it is really a big project that cannot be clearly stated, it is terrible to think in a bad direction. For example, biological weapons are nothing more than the work of microbiologists and pathologists. Although Yang Rui definitely doesn't like their work, if Yang Rui wants to do it, he may update China's biochemical library every minute.

In contrast, genetic weapons are even more worrying.

Since the 1970s, the president of the United States has not been able to leave DNA in public. Things like used water glasses will be collected by the Secret Service. In the final analysis, biologists are the ones who are on guard.

If we add a little primitive defense against China, China, which is dominated by Chinese, is really a country suitable for the development of genetic weapons.

The number of overseas Chinese is very small, especially compared to China's huge population, it can be said to be pitifully small. Then, if we look for a suitable genetic locus, it is a specific mutation of Chinese people, and there are no races in other countries, and this locus can be used to attack and kill...

What physical weapon can match such madness?

Of course, Houston believes that Yang Rui and China will not risk the world's displeasure by doing such a thing, but even if it is a big project that is two or three levels lower, it is still uneasy.

You don't even need to host such a project, as long as you get involved, Yang Rui's reputation in the scientific community will be ruined.

He may be the target of the industry and the military industry in the future, but in the academic circle, no biologist wants to deal with such a guy.

Houston came to the hotel extremely disturbed, and waited in the restaurant until almost 10 o'clock, but still did not see Yang Rui.

Houston was even more disturbed.

"Excuse me, Professor Yang, who lives in the Nobel suite, has he already left? Why didn't you come down for breakfast?" Houston found the staff and asked.

After Houston showed Stockholm University's badge, the waiter in charge of the restaurant checked the script and said, "Professor Yang asked for breakfast to be delivered to the room. So, I didn't come down for breakfast."

Houston was speechless, and said, "You're so drunk."

"It's not necessarily drunk." The waiter said seriously.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Based on my judgment?" The waiter analyzed seriously: "If guests staying in suites bring beautiful female companions, they usually don't want to come downstairs for breakfast."

Houston was stunned, but he had to admit it, and said, "What you said makes sense and has a sense of logic."

"Thank you, I graduated from the Department of Philosophy." The waiter nodded, looked at Houston again, and said, "The Department of Philosophy, Stockholm University."

"Uh, you like a job where you can touch people."

"No, it's just that the philosophy department can't find a job." The waiter bowed slightly to the departing guests with a sincere attitude.

...

Houston really didn't want to wait until lunch time, so he bit the bullet and knocked on the door.

The past few days have been the busiest time for the Nobel laureate, especially from afternoon to evening, when there are routine activities, he is afraid that he will not be able to communicate at that time.

It took three or four minutes to knock on the door, which made Houston even more uneasy.

When the door opened, Houston also lowered his head and said, "Professor Yang, I have something to ask you."

"Oh, it's already this time, come in." Yang Rui said and opened the door.

"No need..." Houston waved his hands again and again.

"If you don't come in, what are you going to do? Go downstairs now, it's easy to be watched." Yang Rui looked at Houston in confusion. There are not only journalists but also Nobel laureates who are nesting in the hotel.

Houston hesitated for a moment and asked, "It's not convenient to go in."

"It's okay, we Chinese don't pay attention to this." Yang Rui just pretended that the Swedes didn't want to enter other people's homes.

Houston's expression became even weirder, and he said, "Okay, since you don't pay attention...then I'll come in..."

After entering the door, Houston lowered his head to his chest, afraid of seeing any inappropriate clothes, inappropriate utensils, inappropriate drugs, or simply inappropriate people.

"Mr. Houston, have you eaten yet?" At the dining table, Jing Yulan raised his glass to invite.

Houston froze for a moment, then looked over in surprise, and saw Jing Yulan sitting in the dining room neatly dressed, with a dozen plates full on the table.

"Are you really eating?"

"Or else?" Jing Yulan was as strange as Yang Rui.

"I mean... no, I mean... Is the breakfast delicious?" Houston looked around at this time, and he was relieved to find no strange traces. Then he looked at Yang Rui and thought: In Nuo In the morning of the Bell Suite, just use it for breakfast?

"Have some fried eggs? It tastes good." Yang Rui handed a plate to Houston, like a hospitable Chinese.

Houston thought for a while, then took it, but didn't move the knife and fork. His Swedish brain pondered the euphemistic way, and then asked, "Professor Yang, your big project, can you tell me about it?"

"Big project? I said it when I was drunk?" Yang Rui froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "There is no big project, I'm just drunk."

"Professor Yang... what I say next may not be popular. If I'm wrong, I hope you can forgive me."

"Oh?" Yang Rui looked at Houston.

Jing Yulan drank the juice in the glass, stood up naturally, and said, "I'm going to change my clothes first."

Yang Rui nodded.

Houston watched Jing Yulan leave, and said, "Professor Yang, is there any country or organization that forces you to do some work that you don't want to do? If so, I can help you."

Yang Rui stayed for a few seconds, laughed and shook his head: "You think too much."

"Bug?" Houston said to Yang Rui again with his mouth.

"No." Yang Rui couldn't laugh anymore, he spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Well, I really want to do a project. I want to do it myself, and it has nothing to do with any country or organization."

Houston asked: "Is there an item that cannot be explained?"

"I don't think it is necessary to introduce the project I want to do in detail before doing it. There is no such tradition, right."

Of course, there is no such tradition anymore. Many scholars keep secrets before doing projects.

In fact, when the names of some projects are mentioned, everyone will know what they do.

For example, the Human Genome Project, as long as it is proposed, the academic community will not understand it. Naturally, no one will rush to do this kind of project that requires a lot of money and cost, but if it is the opposite, I am afraid it is not a safe thing.

No one wants to share their ideas for nothing.

Houston was full of random thoughts, and couldn't help saying: "At least, you don't know how to make weapons."

He didn't use words like biochemical weapons to avoid Yang Rui's disgust.

Yang Rui didn't understand it at all, and said, "I'm a biologist, what kind of weapon do I use?"

"Something related to microbes?" Houston blinked.

"Where are you going?" Yang Rui was forced by Houston, and he also considered the need for help, so he said: "To be honest, I want to do genetics, but it has nothing to do with weapons."

"Okay, that's fine." Houston breathed a sigh of relief.

"But maybe someone will object to my project."

"Why?" Houston asked again.

"Hmm... about ethics?" Yang Rui was thinking about "cloning".

Cloning is a big project, and Dolly the sheep, more likely the most famous sheep in the world, is cloned.

The whole project, if it is not because of ethical doubts, may bring a lot of awards.

However, what Yang Rui, who won the Nobel Prize, needs now is not an award.

What he needs more is to continue to prove himself.

Demonstrate the ability to use substantial resources to complete larger projects.

Winning the Nobel Prize is not the end, rather, it should be the beginning.

It is conceivable that when Yang Rui returns to China, he will receive a lot of praise and affirmation, accompanied by a sense of expectation.

He's like a director of a small-budget film who finally won an Oscar.

At this time, he can naturally get the opportunity to make a big-budget movie.

The success of big-budget movies, and how successful they are, will determine whether Yang Rui will continue to make big-budget movies or continue to make small-budget movies for a long time.

Needless to say, Yang Rui's first project after winning the Nobel Prize will definitely receive the full support of various institutions in the country and even in the world. Compared with choosing the Human Genome Project, a project that cannot be completed for many years, Yang Rui needs a project that will produce results sooner.

The accumulation of scholars is very difficult. Although Yang Rui has abundant resources, he also started from the parameter determination of the ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Projects such as coenzyme Q10 took him a considerable amount of time, but only by doing these projects, he Only then have the opportunity to do world-class projects.

Cloning sheep is naturally a world-class project. If it can be completed, Yang Rui will stand at the top in terms of academic fields and funding.

Compared with the various benefits brought by the cloned sheep Dolly, the so-called negative effects are nothing worth mentioning.

Especially for Yang Rui who is in China, there is no need to consider the negative effects.

Only hypocritical Britons and Americans argue endlessly over whether the atomic bomb is good or bad.

Chinese people with a long history are more aware of the truth that if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

We do our best to explore new science and develop new technologies. As for ethical issues, we should leave them to philosophers. Otherwise, would we just let them eat for nothing and waste mortuary resources?

"Don't worry, all problems will be resolved." Yang Rui patted Houston's hand with a sure tone. Although he wasn't sure at all.
