Yang Rui laughed and said, "I run two long-term projects and want to get support from the school."

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

He said that, he suddenly felt a little nervous and asked, "How long is the long-term project?"

"The ten-year plan is up for five years. There may not be much results in the first two years, but the investment will not be too small. Such projects may not be able to pass the foundation or other projects. We need the help of the school, and we need to set up a special project team with a neat staff." Yang Rui's eyes were very bright. What is the greatest ambition for academics in his life? Unlimited unlimited funds supply.

In order to provide unrestricted and unlimited capital supply, scholars dare to say anything, such as ozone holes that have exterminated humans, such as global warming that have exterminated humans, such as super bacteria that have exterminated humans, such as super volcano that have exterminated humans, such as gamma ray that have exterminated humans, such as humans’ only hope, and how to scare people, look carefully, every industry can find more than a dozen reasons to cheat funds, and it seems that if they are given money, they can solve the problem. Although science is great, it is not as great as this level in the 21st century.

Yang Rui was able to struggle for two years with his head down, which was to infinitely get close to the ultimate pursuit of such scholars.

It’s okay to think about it like this. It’s not like a communist society that is extremely rich in material so much that scholars can do whatever they want. What if they want to explode the universe and see? Or what if they want to make a multi-universe ice cream?

It is relatively easy to pursue without restraint. Needless to say, Huarui Laboratory is Yang Rui’s own. As long as it is undefeated, it will do whatever it wants.

The supervision of ion channel laboratories is relatively more. The most troublesome thing is to keep producing results, take money from foundations or institutions, and even keep reporting, which will reach the extreme later. Some scholars even said angrily: 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 called will only increase, not decrease.

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

As for China's current poverty level, who can bear it if a project is studied for five or eight years or even ten years?

It is normal for scholars to fail to produce results for two years, but for long-term workers, it is a big deal that will starve people to death.

The principal's confidence in Yang Rui was not enough to be left alone for two years, and he couldn't help but hesitate: "What project do you want 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 Dalbeko."

This is a relatively easy area to achieve results. The principal nodded and said, "Yes, the school supports you every year...2 million yuan. No matter what you do, these two million yuan will not be destroyed. If you achieve results, I will talk about it then."

If it were 30 years later, the president of Peking University would definitely be disdainful to use millions as a unit, but in 1984, he had to grit his teeth to say a fixed expenditure of two million a year.

Just look at the face of the vice principal in charge of finance next to you and you will know how difficult it is.

"The second is cloning research, which may take longer. I want to do some work similar to nuclear transplantation." Yang Rui smiled shyly.

Nuclear transplantation refers to the transplantation of the cell nucleus. The cells are taken out from the embryo that develops to the later stages, and then the nucleus of the cell is transplanted into another enucleated egg. This is the early idea of ​​cloning technology, which was born in 1938.

From 1938 to 1984, Cialiges and TJ King completed this concept with the embryonic nucleus of frogs, then John Gordon got better results, and then Ilmenze and Hope used the embryonic nucleus of rats to cultivate cloned mice, thus extending the nuclear transplantation experiment to the mammalian range. Finally, this year's Sternverardson cultivated a sheep with the immature embryonic nucleus of sheep.

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

Since the sheep have been bred, are pigs, dogs, sheep, horses and cows still far away? This opportunity to spend top journals is everyone’s favorite, so Professor Cai naturally speculated on Yang Rui.

"It's a similar technology." Of course, Yang Rui couldn't say that I wanted to clone the sheep Dolly. The cloning of sheep uses somatic cells. The difference between 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, cloning Dolly is simply a shocking moment. If it weren't for this, how could a technology proposed in 38 years have been spreading all over the world in 1997?

However, even if it is just a nuclear technology, it is extremely difficult. As a Danish, Professor Cai can know that Veradson is naturally because he has made global achievements.

Such achievements are collectively called "expensive" in the biology community!

The principal understood these things and not only gave up, saying: "The relationship between cloning research and gene sequencing is quite far-reaching. At the same time, a gene sequencing project, another cloning project, and the original ion channel project in the ion channel laboratory will be a bit too dispersed?"

What he said makes sense, let alone one more clone or one more gene sequencing, it is an ion channel project. In-depth work, billions of dollars of funding are like playing.

Not to mention, gene sequencing has not been completed. It has been burned by countries around the world for money. If it weren’t for the wealthy people who were afraid of death and the pharmaceutical companies were rich, the human genome plan might not be completed by 2030. Even so, the US court still approved a case of gene patents, allowing pharmaceutical companies and research institutions to apply for sequencing genes as patents. It is not that the money spent too much, and the court would not make such a judgment.

But from Yang Rui's perspective, long-term projects are for in-depth research, and his own interests tend to be more Oppenheimer-like research directions, so naturally the bigger the project, the better.

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

"If it's just verification, maybe you can spend a separate payment 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 instead will waste time."

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

"Of course it's time. For long-term projects, you won't fight for a long time overnight." The cloned sheep Dolly did not appear until 1997, and it's a lot of time. However, cloning the sheep is very time-consuming, and cloning the sheep also needs to go through the embryonic development process. It takes several months at a time. Yang Rui is not planning to operate this project himself. Because of this, he must be more lenient, prepare in advance, and pull up the team.

The principal pondered.

If an ordinary student or a general-level professor said this, the principal would have to take a photo back.

A fixed investment of 2 million a year is not a small amount. If a general cow costs 2 million, an average of five cows in a major and 100 general cows in a school, wouldn’t it take a fixed investment of 200 million a year? The general cows need this amount, how much does Da Ben have to run? Moreover, this is a fixed investment, and it is a money that needs to be paid for nothing. What has been made, and naturally, it will have to be added. How much does it cost?

Tsinghua University was the most funded school in 2014, spending 4.5 billion yuan a year, but in 1984, which Chinese school could have squandered 200 million scientific research funds?

However, Yang Rui has already surpassed the stage of ordinary bulls.

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, our funds this year are really not enough..."

“Update difficulties…”

"headmaster!"

"Think about a way..."

"headmaster!"

“There is no way out…”

"headmaster!"

"I believe..."

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

"I have a suggestion." In various entanglements, Principal Pang, who had not seen for a long time, stood up and smiled friendly to Yang Rui, saying: "How about merging the existing embryonic cell laboratory? Their conditions are good. After joining the ion channel laboratory, they will form independently. As long as the school adds part of the funds, it can meet Yang Rui's requirements."

Principal Pang was Vice President Pang who supported Richard Laboratory back then. Richard Laboratory's failure caused his cooperation plan for famous Sino-US universities to fail, which caused a lot of damage. But judging from his expression and speech at this time, he seemed to want to take the opportunity to reconcile with Yang Rui.

Yang Rui listened with a smile, not believing in his heart.
Chapter completed!
