Yang Rui chuckled and said: "I want to open two long-term projects and want the support of the school. [Read the latest chapters]"

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "The long-term project is simple..."

Speaking of it, he suddenly felt nervous and asked, "How long is the long-term project?"

"The ten-year plan, five years up, there may not be much results in the first two years, but the investment will not be too little. Such a project, the foundation or something may not pass, the school will help, and a special project team must be set up. Neat. "Yang Rui's eyes are very bright. What is the greatest aspiration of his life as an academic? Uncontrolled and unlimited funding supply.

For the unregulated and unlimited supply of funds, scholars dare to say anything, what ozone air has wiped out humans, what global warming has wiped out humans, what super bacteria have wiped out humans, what super volcanoes have wiped out humans, and what gamma rays have wiped out humans Mankind, what alien development is the only hope for mankind, how to scare people, take a closer look, 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 sullen, just to get close to the ultimate pursuit of this kind of scholar.

There is no upper limit. Just think about it. It's impossible for the ** society to be so rich that scholars can do whatever experiments they want. What if they want to explode the universe and see? Or multi-universe sandwich ice cream?

It is relatively easy to pursue without control. Needless to say, Huarui Lab belongs to Yang Rui. As long as he is invincible, he wants to do whatever he wants.

Ion channel laboratories are relatively more supervised. The most troublesome thing is to constantly produce results, take money from foundations or institutions, or even keep reporting, and the later development will reach the extreme, even academically. Say: I don't want to live the life of using a bottle of ink and two pages of a4 paper.

However, there will only be more and more applications, not fewer and fewer applications.

This is the malaise of poor countries. European countries are rich in wealth, and long-term projects have become regular research, but the lifestyles of old rich men and long-term workers are destined to be different.

As far as China's current poverty is concerned, who can stand a project for five years, eight years or even ten years.

Two years of no results are normal for scholars, and for long-term workers, it is a major event to starve people to death.

The principal's confidence in Yang Rui has not yet reached the level of letting him go for two years. He can't help but hesitate to ask: "What project are you going to do?"

"It's all about genes. One is long-term gene sequencing. I am very interested in the human genome project proposed by Professor Dalbecko."

This is an area where results are relatively easy. The principal nodded: "Yes, the school supports you every year... 2 million yuan. No matter what you make, these two million yuan won't be beaten. If you get results, let's talk about it then. "

If 30 years later, the president of Peking University would definitely disdain to use one million for a unit, but in 1984, the fixed expenditure of two million a year would have to be gritted to speak.

Just look at the face of the vice-principal who is in charge of finances next to him, and you know how difficult it is.

"The second is the study of cloning. It may take longer. I want to do something similar to nuclear transfer." Yang Rui smiled shyly.

Nuclear transfer refers to the transfer of nuclei. The cells are removed from the embryos that have developed to the later stage, and then the nuclei of the cells are transferred to another enucleated egg. This is the early idea of ​​cloning technology, which was born in 1938.

In the 46 years from 1938 to 1984, Hirigus and Tj Jin used the embryonic nucleus of a frog to complete this idea, then John Gordon got better results, and then, Ilmenze and Hopper used The mouse embryonic cell nucleus cultivated cloned mice, which expanded the nuclear transfer experiment to the scope of mammals. Finally, this year's Schternvladsen used sheep's immature embryonic cell nucleus to cultivate a sheep.

In 1984, Willardson'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, and Professor Cai naturally guessed Yang Rui with it.

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

From a scientific point of view, the cloning of Dolly the sheep is nothing short of shocking. If it weren't for this, a technology that was proposed in 38 years would not have been able to spread all over the world in 1997.

However, even if it is only nuclear technology, it is extremely difficult. As a Danish, Willardson can be known by Professor Cai, naturally because he has made world-wide achievements.

Such achievements are collectively called "expensive" in the biological world!

The principal understands this, and he not only retreats, and says: "The relationship between cloning research and gene sequencing is relatively long, right? At the same time, open a gene sequencing project, then open a cloning project, plus the original ion channel laboratory. Some ion channel projects are a little too scattered?"

What he said is also very reasonable. Let alone one more clone and one more gene sequencing, it is the ion channel project. If you go deeper, the billions of funds are just like fun.

Not to mention gene sequencing, it cost more than one trillion U.S. dollars and it has not been completed. It was burned by countries all over the world. If it weren’t for the rich to fear death, pharmaceutical companies would have a lot of money, and the human genome plans to do it by 2030. It may not be done. Even so, the US court still approved the case of gene patents, allowing pharmaceutical companies and research institutions to apply for the sequenced genes as patents. It is not too expensive, and the courts will not make such judgments.

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

After thinking for a moment, Yang Rui said: "I have some ideas in cloning. I think it is more valuable. I want to verify it. If the school can support it, it can be based on the conditions of gene sequencing. I think it can be done. 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, but time will be wasted."

"Or, do it in the next fiscal year, is it too late." The vice principal in charge of finance spoke in a negotiating tone.

"Naturally, it is too late. For long-term projects, don't compete overnight." The cloned sheep Dolly didn't appear until 1997, and there is plenty of time for it to be considered a long time. However, the cloning project is very time-consuming. Cloning sheep also has to go through the embryonic development process. It takes a few months at a time. Yang Rui does not plan to do this project himself. Because of this, he must be more lenient. , Prepare in advance and pull up the team.

The principal pondered.

If it is an ordinary student or a professor at the general cattle level, the principal will take it back.

A fixed investment of 2 million a year is not a small amount. If a normal cow costs 2 million, an average of five cows for a major, a school will need 100 normal cows, wouldn't it require a fixed investment of 200 million a year? Pu Niu needs this amount, and how much does Da Ben need to open? Moreover, this is a fixed investment. It is the money to be given for doing nothing. What is done will naturally be added, so how much money will it cost?

Tsinghua University was the most funded school in 2014, spending 4.5 billion yuan a year~www.NovelMTL.com~ But in 1984, which Chinese school could spend 200 million yuan in research funding?

However, Yang Rui has surpassed the ordinary 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 this year..."

"Overcome difficulties..."

"principal!"

"Think of a way..."

"principal!"

"There is always a way out……"

"principal!"

"I believe……"

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

"I have a suggestion." Amidst various entanglements, Principal Pang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood up, smiled friendly to Yang Rui, and said, "How about merging the existing embryo cell laboratories? They are in good conditions, adding ion channels. After the laboratory, it will be formed into groups independently, and the school will be able to meet Yang Rui's requirements by adding part of the funds."

President Pang was the vice-principal Pang who supported Richard Labs. The failure of Richard Labs made his Sino-US prestigious school cooperation plan a premature and suffered a lot, but at this time he Judging from his expression, it seemed that he wanted to take the opportunity to reconcile with Yang Rui.

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