Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Yang Rui laughed twice and said, "I want to open two long-term projects, and I want to get the support of the school. [Latest chapter reading]"

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Long-term projects are simple..."

After speaking, he suddenly felt nervous and asked, "How long is the long-term project?"

"Ten-year plan, five years up, there may not be much results in the first two years, but the investment will not be too small. Such a project, the foundation may not be able to pass, and the school needs help, and a special project team needs to be set up. Personnel Neat and tidy." Yang Rui's eyes are extremely bright, what is the greatest ambition in his life as an academic? An unrestricted and unlimited supply of funds.

In order to provide unrestrained and unlimited capital supply, scholars dare to say anything, what ozone void has exterminated mankind, what global warming has exterminated mankind, what super bacteria have exterminated mankind, what super volcanoes have exterminated mankind, and what gamma rays have extinct Human beings, what alien development is the only hope for human beings, no matter how scary they come, look carefully, every industry can find more than a dozen reasons for defrauding funds, it seems that if you give them money, they can solve the problem Yes, although science is great, it is not so great in the 21st century.

Yang Rui was able to struggle for two years with his head depressed, in order to get infinitely close to the ultimate pursuit of this kind of scholar.

There is no upper limit, just think about it, and it is impossible for a society to be so rich in material that scholars can do whatever experiments they want. What if people want to explode a universe to see? Or how about multiverse sandwich ice cream?

It is relatively easy to pursue without restraint. Needless to say, Huarui Lab is Yang Rui's own. As long as he is not defeated, he can do whatever he wants.

The supervision of the ion channel laboratory is relatively more. The most troublesome thing is to keep producing results, take money from foundations or institutions, and even have to keep reporting. Later, it develops to the extreme, and even has a scholarly attitude. Said: I don't want to live a life of using two pages of A4 paper with a bottle of ink.

However, the number of applications that should be filed will only increase, not decrease.

This is the malady of poor countries. European countries are rich and powerful, and long-term projects have become regular research, but the lifestyle of the old rich and the lifestyle of long-term workers are destined to be different.

As far as China's current poverty is concerned, no one can afford to study a project for five, eight or even ten years.

Not producing results for two years is normal for scholars, but for long-term workers, it is a major event that people will starve to death.

The principal's confidence in Yang Rui was not enough to let him go for two years, so he couldn't help asking hesitantly: "What project are you going to do?

"It's all about genes. One is long-term gene sequencing. I'm very interested in the Human Genome Project proposed by Professor Dalbecco."

This is a field that is relatively easy to get results. The principal nodded and said: "Yes, the school supports you... 2 million yuan every year. No matter what you do, the two million yuan will not be unshakable. If you get results, we will talk about it later. "

Thirty years later, the president of Peking University would definitely disdain to use millions as a unit, but in 1984, he had to grit his teeth and dare to say that he had a fixed expenditure of two million a year.

You can see how difficult it is by looking at the face of the vice principal in charge of finance.

"The second is research on cloning. It may take longer. I want to do something similar to nuclear transplantation." Yang Rui smiled shyly.

Nuclear transfer refers to the transplantation of cell nuclei. Cells are removed from embryos that have developed to a later stage, and then the cell nuclei of the cells are

Transplantation into another enucleated egg was an early idea of ​​cloning technology, born in 1938.

During the 46 years from 1938 to 1984, Shiriges and TJ King used the embryonic nucleus of frogs to complete the concept, then John Gordon got better results, and then, it was Ilmenzer and Hope with Mouse embryonic nuclei bred cloned mice, thus extending the nuclear transfer experiment to the range of mammals. Finally, this year, Stern Vladsen bred a sheep with the immature embryonic nucleus of sheep.

In 1984, Vladson's work was still very eye-catching. Professor Cai immediately remembered and asked, "Do you want to do nuclear breeding of mammals?"

Now that sheep have been bred, are pigs, dogs, sheep, horses and cattle still far away? This kind of opportunity to read top journals is everyone's favorite, so Professor Cai naturally guessed Yang Rui based on it.

"It's a similar technology." Of course Yang Rui couldn't say, I want to clone Dolly the sheep. Cloned sheep mostly use somatic cells. The difference from embryonic cells is that embryonic cells are born to give birth to the next generation, while somatic cells are products that may be rubbed off with a bath towel every few days.

From a scientific point of view, the cloning of Dolly the sheep is simply earth-shattering. If it weren't for this, a technology proposed in 1938 would have spread all over the world in 1997.

However, even if it is just cell nuclear technology, it is extremely difficult. As a Dane, Professor Cai knows that Willardsen has made worldwide achievements.

Such an achievement has a collective name in the biological world, called "gui"!

The principal knew this, and not only retreated, but said: "The relationship between cloning research and gene sequencing is relatively far away. At the same time, a gene sequencing project was opened, and a cloning project was opened. Are some ion channel projects too scattered?"

What he said is also very reasonable, not to mention one more clone and one more gene sequencing, it is the ion channel project, if it is done in depth, billions of dollars are just like playing.

Needless to say, gene sequencing has cost more than one trillion U.S. dollars and has not yet been completed. Countries all over the world have spent money and burned it. If it weren’t for the rich who are afraid of death, the pharmaceutical companies are rich and powerful, and the Human Genome Project will be completed by 2030. It may not be possible to complete. Even so, the U.S. court approved the gene patent case, allowing pharmaceutical companies and research institutions to apply for the sequenced gene as a patent.

But from Yang Rui's point of view, the long-term project is for in-depth research, and his own interest is more inclined to the research direction like Oppenheimer's. Naturally, the bigger and wider the project, the better.

After thinking for a while, Yang Rui said: "I have some ideas on cloning, which I think are more valuable, and I want to verify it. If the school can support it, it will be fine to use the conditions of gene sequencing as a benchmark. something of value."

"If it's just for verification, maybe we can spend a separate amount first?" The vice principal in charge of finance was in a cold sweat.

"If the time is too short, the results may not be satisfactory, and it will be a waste of time."

"Or, is it too late to do this in the next fiscal year?" The vice principal in charge of finance said in a discussing tone.

"Naturally, there is still time. For a long-term project, there is no competition for one day and one night." Dolly the cloned sheep did not appear until 1997, so there is plenty of time for it. However, the cloning project is very time-consuming. Cloning sheep also needs to go through the embryonic development process, and it takes several months to grow up at a time. Yang Rui is not going to do this project himself. Because of this, it is even more important to be lenient , Prepare in advance and pull up the team.

The principal pondered.

If ordinary students, or ordinary professors say so, the principal will take it back.

A fixed investment of 2 million yuan a year is not a small amount. If an ordinary cow costs 2 million yuan, a major has an average of five cows, and a school requires 100 ordinary cows, wouldn’t it require a fixed investment of 200 million yuan a year? General Niu needs this amount, how much does Da Ben need to drive? Moreover, this is a fixed investment, and you will be given money if you don’t do anything. If you do something, you will naturally have to add it. How much will it cost?

Tsinghua was the school with the most funding in 2014, spending 4.5 billion a year, but in 1984, which Chinese school could spend 200 million in scientific research funds?

However, Yang Rui has already surpassed the ordinary cow stage.

The principal pondered for a long time, and decided to show his strong support for high-end scholars. He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to wait for next year, just do it this year."

The vice principal in charge of finance wailed: "Principal, we really don't have enough funds for this year..."

"Overcoming difficulties..."

"headmaster!"

"Think of a way..."

"headmaster!"

"There is always a way out……"

"headmaster!"

"I believe……"

"Principal!" The vice-principal in charge of finance is already a rock fan.

"I have a suggestion." Amid all the entanglements, Principal Pang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood up, smiled at Yang Rui friendly, and said, "How about merging the existing embryonic cell laboratory? Their conditions are good, adding ion channels After the laboratory, it will form an independent group, and the school only needs to add some funds to meet Yang Rui's requirements."

Principal Pang is the vice-principal Pang who supported Richard's laboratory at the time. Judging from his expression and words, it seems that he wants to take the opportunity to reconcile with Yang Rui.

Yang Rui listened with a smile, not believing it at all.
