"It is a good idea to understand potassium channels through cloning technology. Do you think it is cloned through rodents and humans? Are they cloned cells?" Richard showed his thoughts.

"Just cloning a gene is enough. By cloning a mutated gene fragment... you can also use RNA as a probe..." Yang Rui briefly described the prospect and said: "This is my opinion on the future development trend of the potassium channel..."

Richard thought while drinking tea. After Yang Rui spoke for a long time, he turned to look at Professor Wang and smiled: "You said just now, is he still a student? A first-year college student? You taught a good student."

"Where do you think." Professor Wang became modest.

Richard turned his head and said to Yang Rui: "Your idea is good. Have you started writing a paper? Well, if you need help, you can raise it. I also know some people at several foundations and can solve some funding problems."

Yang Rui was stunned and thanked him and said, "I am not very prepared to contact foreign foundations."

"Why?" Richard said in surprise: "Genes are often free. They are usually for the purpose of promoting scientific research. They are very similar to your country's scientific research funds. They just come from abroad. Don't be psychologically burdened."

Yang Rui frowned and thought to himself: Where is the foundation as good as you said?

Foreigners’ foundations are usually generous, but their conditions are often strange, such as obtaining patents or working as required. If you use their money, you have to sign the corresponding contract. For example, the whale shark raised by Bill Gates’s home must have a scientific research team behind it. Raising a giant marine creature with a size of more than ten meters at home is much more difficult than raising tropical fish in a fish tank.

It is conceivable that even for tax avoidance, Bill Gates would use the foundation's money to pay the scientific research team, or to fund their research.

For researchers, unfamiliar foundations are quite risky, especially early entrepreneurs and researchers. There is no strong team or skilled lawyer behind them. If you encounter problems, it will be very troublesome.

It is probably difficult for any early entrepreneur or researcher to win a lawsuit with Bill Gates, especially when he donates all the money to the foundation, and the foundation is completely under his control.

However, Yang Rui did not refute Richard on the spot and smiled: "I have heard some bad rumors. Besides, I have not yet confirmed the funds needed for the paper..."

Richard laughed and said, "You don't need to know how much money you need. The focus is on how you get as much fund as possible, right? Wait, I'll give you a few business cards, you can contact them."

Yang Rui's right eye twitched, and suddenly he felt that he had said too much. When he was unsure, he took advantage of Richard's departure and asked in Chinese: "Professor Wang, what do you think the research direction I am talking about? Have you read such a document?"

Wang Yong was happy to hear that, "It seems that Richard likes it, don't worry about right or wrong. The direction judgment cannot be said to be right or wrong. Maybe both paths are right, and maybe both paths are wrong.

Wang Yong thought he was worried about Chad's next question, so he recalled and said, "I didn't notice the paper with cloning and potassium channels. Where did you see it? Try to explain your clear and certain knowledge."

"I probably saw some similar things and thought about them myself." Yang Rui recalled the conversation just now and secretly summarized the lesson: When talking about things that are not very certain in the era, you must be careful in your words and actions.

Richard came back and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Yang Rui asked me just now..."

Yang Rui interrupted Professor Wang and said, "I am going to write a paper about cloning technology and potassium channels. I just asked Professor Wang if he had read similar documents. If I were sure that there weren't, my paper would be sent out soon."

Richard was stunned for a moment and asked, "So anxious?"

"It's not a hurry. Since I haven't done this research by my predecessors, I think I can do it." Yang Rui's English was slow, but his meaning was already very clear.

Richard handed out a few business cards to Yang Rui and said, "This is a big topic, so it's best to find some foundations to fund it."

“I will consider it.”

“It must be considered.”

"Yes."

After pausing, Richard held the tea again and said, "Actually, I carefully considered the proposition of gene cloning and potassium channel you mentioned. I think it can be corrected..."

"Mr. Richard, if you don't mind, I hope to complete the paper." Yang Rui moved his butt and said something to refuse, which stunned both professors.

He was indeed ready to write a related paper. Therefore, he was not ready to discuss it with Richard again, so as not to turn his creativity into common property.

Yang Rui was not sure whether he had said too much in advance. He had a lot of things in his head, but it was not comprehensive. However, no matter what, he would not give it to others, let alone an American.

Studying potassium channels through gene cloning is a very popular way in the future. Usually, mutated genes of potassium channels are cloned in small organisms such as fruit flies, so that the effects of potassium channels can be fully understood.

It can be said that this method is a milestone in the study of potassium channel genes. To put it further, the study of any ion channel can adopt a similar method. Therefore, the merger of cloning technology and potassium channel research has brought about a revolutionary change in the field of ion channel.

Although gene cloning is not easy, it is actually not as difficult as people think. Of course, technology like cloning Sheep Doli still has a considerable technical threshold for 1984, but the threshold for cloning only some gene fragments and cloning a mutant gene is not particularly high.

Although Yang Rui's current conditions are not enough to get involved in the period, it is still good to write a paper.

If this direction has been pointed out, it would not be much meaning to write a similar cutting-edge article now. At first, Yang Rui thought this was the case, so he said it without hesitation.

However, since the biology professor at the University of California, Berkeley has not seen this point, Yang Rui has the idea of ​​cherishing himself.

This kind of technology in transformation is the easiest paper to earn the most impact factor. Generally speaking, only the industry's big guys can easily write such papers. If young people write it out and are recognized by the industry's big guys, it often means preparing for the status of the big guys.

If you don’t say anything else, the impact factor of hula hula can make people beat you away.

And what Yang Rui needs most now is the influence factor and influence.

Therefore, although he did not write a single word, he still said that he had a paper to cut off Richard's thoughts.

Richard is also a very smart person. He is a character who knows whether you want to fart or shit. When he heard Yang Rui's words, his face changed and said, "If you are worried that I will plagiarize your creativity, you don't need to worry at all. I have my own job to do. Professor Wang, if nothing else, I want to go back to work."

After saying that, Richard let go of himself and stood up before he had finished drinking the black tea.

Wang Yong was already stunned.

After just a while, Wang Yong couldn't understand the relationship between the two.

However, Wang Yong still made moves habitually and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, Professor Richard... Young people are ignorant, don't be angry, how dare he doubt you? This is normal academic exchange, he just uses inappropriate words."

The University of California, Berkeley is an excellent school. If ranked, it should be in the top 50 in the world and top 20 in the United States, which is much higher than that of Peking University and Tsinghua University. Therefore, it is beneficial to Peking University to invite Professor Richard to China to be a visiting scholar, no matter what the latter is for.

Professor Wang Yong also shared some bonuses that exceeded his level because of his relationship with Richard, such as brand new experimental equipment and exceeding the standard experimental funds. Even because the leaders of Peking University wanted to see the better side of foreign professors, Wang Yong also received actual benefits, so he also paid great attention to maintaining his relationship with Richard.

Of course, even if there is no interest relationship, just to avoid being embarrassed in front of foreigners, Wang Yong will take Richard seriously.

Seeing Richard getting angry, Wang Yong couldn't help but jump and comforted Richard a little. He called Yang Rui again, and said in Chinese: "All of you are college students, why are you still so naive? Apologize to Professor Richard, don't talk nonsense about anything, do you know?"

Looking at Yang Rui's eyes, Wang Yong said angrily and worriedly: "Professor Richard is a visiting scholar that the dean attaches great importance to. We are now the storefront of Peking University. If you make Professor Richard angry, what are the benefits of yourself? Let someone complain, you are not unable to take the risk, why are you so ignorant? You call you here to give you a chance, not to cause trouble, what are you thinking in your head..."

Yang Rui pretended to be repentant and said: You should not have the intention to harm others, but you should be careful of others. Are you right? He is angry when he is angry, and I can apologize, but I can't let my own things give him."

Wang Yong was both angry and funny, saying, "You know that people would be angry and still say that. What kind of creativity do you need from a professor at the University of California, Berkeley? We can't say that we have never heard of this idea, so no one has done research, right? Maybe it's a dead end? In short, you can't say a few words and guess that they have sinister intentions. Isn't this nonsense, just make people laugh?"

"But he didn't laugh." Yang Rui also spoke in Chinese, speaking quickly and seriously: "A young student like me said something wrong, should have smiled and used it so seriously? Is Professor Richard in your impression such a person?"

Wang Yong was a little stunned now.
