"Teacher Wei, don't you all know this a long time ago? We already have a new member in Research Institute No. 14.
The five sets of training warehouses are all fully staffed, and there is no room left." An Xiaoxue said.
Wei Dajiang glanced at Xu Tui and said, "I sensed his spiritual aura just now. It doesn't look like a freshman at all. His mental power mutation has been completed, right?"
Now that it’s completed, let’s take out a set of training chambers and let the people in the college and the hospital use them. Isn’t this good for everyone?”
"no."
An Xiaoxue refused resolutely, "Next, we must immediately cultivate his complete clone for later medical backup and experiments, and long-term research must also be carried out."
"That experiment about mental power is still going on?"
"Of course, this is the hard work of several teachers, and it is also the significance of Research Institute 14. Otherwise, Research Institute 14 would not have existed for so long." An Xiaoxue said.
"However, after so many years, there has been no results..."
Seeing An Xiaoxue smiling and saying nothing, Wei Dajiang smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore.
Is it really not possible?
Isn’t it also possible to divide time periods?”
"no."
"The time to cultivate a complete clone is a bit long, and it is not enough for us." An Xiaoxue refused firmly.
"What about Lao Shang's training warehouse? Can't it be withdrawn? After all, it's already..."
As soon as these words came out, An Xiaoxue's pretty face suddenly turned cold even though she was wearing a mask.
"Teacher Wei, if you mention this again in the future, let's change the title!"
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say that."
Wei Dajiang smiled bitterly, "That's not what I want to say, it's also what those people mean. It's the next best thing.
Girl, you have to think clearly.
Whether it is our China University of Genetic Evolution or the Institute of Genetic Research, they all operate in accordance with rules and regulations.
The topic you are researching has made no progress in the long term, and there are no results in the short term. Now even this additional contribution is gone.
Then your research funding will probably be cut in half." Wei Dajiang said slowly.
After hearing this, Xu Tui finally understood.
This should be the cloning equipment of Research Institute No. 14. There are five sets of culture chambers in total. They were previously used by another group of people.
When Xu Tui came, he returned to Xu Tui.
That’s the current problem.
Especially when it comes to the most important research funding.
Xu Tui didn't know how much it would cost to research institute No. 14.
However, a refund can be calculated as an expense.
Let’s just say there are five sets of these clone culture chambers, a total of fifty.
The monthly consumption of a training warehouse is calculated as 10,000 yuan, and the monthly expense is 500,000 yuan.
That's six million a year.
This is just this one.
If there were no research funds for this No. 14 Research Institute, it would be simply hellish to support its operation.
Wei Dajiang was discussing this issue with An Xiaoxue at this time.
"How much are they going to cut?"
After a moment of silence, An Xiaoxue's voice revealed a hint of inexplicable bitterness.
"Based on the current performance system, research funding should be cut by 80%.
Also, because Research Institute No. 14 has not produced results in recent years, the fixed annual funding of 20 million for the long-term project related to psychic power may also have to be cut," Wei Dajiang said.
"Do you want to cut this one too?"
An Xiaoxue raised her head, her eyes becoming sharp.
"Um...girl, I'm just here to convey a message." Wei Dajiang smiled bitterly.
"Let me talk to him."
"Vice President Lu, Commissioner Lu?"
"Of course, hasn't he always wanted to use our cultivation warehouse?"
Wei Dajiang nodded, "It's not like he is the only one who wants to use it...Okay, I'll contact you, girl, please calm down.
Although he is also from our Huaxia University of Genetic Evolution, he is one of the executive members of the Genetic Committee."
"I understand."
Hearing this, Wei Dajiang took out his personal communication device and made a video call. Not long after, the call was connected.
A very serious-looking man appeared in the projection. At first glance, he seemed to be a very serious person.
However, some shiny bald spots spoil a bit of this rigor.
"Hello, Vice President Lu, I heard from Teacher Wei that the funding for our No. 14 Research Institute will be cut, right? Even the long-term ones will be cut?" An Xiaoxue asked directly.
"Professor An, it's not me who wants to cut it, but it was made according to the regulations.
You see, your long-term research project has been going on for decades and there has been no progress."
"Who said there is no progress? In fact, there is progress." An Xiaoxue argued.
"Then you have to take it out."
The bald Vice President Lu spread his hands helplessly, "If you don't take it out, everyone says so, we won't be able to do our job.
After all, everyone wants research funding."
"For now...it's not convenient to show it." An Xiaoxue was a little helpless.
"This is your problem. And your short-term projects have produced no results for three consecutive years. According to the system, research funds have to be cut by 80%.
However, you have made special contributions before, so this issue has not been discussed..."
"Actually, what you mean is that we won't use the cultivation warehouse for you this year, so you have to cut it down, right?" An Xiaoxue said coldly.
The bald Vice President Lu patted his bare head and said, "Professor An, if you think this way, there is nothing I can do about it.
But it’s made according to the rules, that’s what it is.”
"All right."
An Xiaoxue nodded, "Then there are still six copies of the gene transcription stock solution of the black-crested queen bee that I have just extracted.
I will soon put it up on the Blue Star Gene Committee website to auction it in exchange for some research funds."
After saying that, An Xiaoxue hung up the phone directly.
Wei Dajiang smiled bitterly and gave An Xiaoxue a thumbs up.
Xu Tui was stunned.
Vice President Lu, I don’t know if he is from the Huaxia University of Genetic Evolution or the Institute of Genetics, but with the title of executive member of the Genetics Committee, he is definitely a big shot.
He should be considered the most powerful person in the world.
However, An Xiaoxue was so straightforward in her confrontation, and even more straightforward in hanging up the phone.
Just as An Xiaoxue hung up the phone, the phone rang again.
"Take it, Xiaoxue." Wei Dajiang said.
An Xiaoxue picked up.
"Professor An, are there only six copies of the original gene transcription solution of the black-crested queen bee left?"
"This is quite a lot. I only had two or three copies left before."
"Then hand it over. The funds for long-term projects will only be cut in half, with an allocation of 10 million." Vice President Lu said with a shiny bald head.
"Not enough. I won't hand it over."
An Xiaoxue's pretty face was tense under the mask, "I want to sell it."
"Six copies is too little. It has only research value and no experimental value. 10 million is high enough.
If you have twelve copies, I will personally pay 30 million to buy them.
Even if you go to the Blue Star Gene Committee’s online auction, it’s hard to get even 10 million,” Vice President Lu said.
An Xiaoxue looked stubborn, "If it's not enough, then I'll go to the auction. On the way back, people are trying to kill me for this. Now that there are fewer and fewer black-crested queen bees, it will only become more and more valuable."
In the video projection, the bald Vice President Lu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "15 million, maybe. This is the friendship price of the Institute of Genetics for Shang Long's sake."
An Xiaoxue bit her lip lightly, still a little reluctant. Wei Dajiang opposite him shook his head gently, and An Xiaoxue nodded slowly.
"so be it."
"Actually, Professor An, you should consider the training warehouse..."
Before Vice President Lu could finish speaking, An Xiaoxue hung up the phone.
"Fifteen million is considered a high price. Six copies, the experimental value is too low. Even if there are ten copies, it can cost more than 20 million." Wei Dajiang sighed.
"Thank you, Teacher Wei." An Xiaoxue said softly.
Wei Dajiang shook his head and stood up slowly, "Girl, the burden on Research Institute No. 14 is too heavy. Those bastards disappeared again, disappeared, disappeared, and went out. Now you are the only one to support me. It's really
It’s hard for you.”
"Teacher Wei, if you put in the effort, you will reap the rewards. Look at my classmates in the same period, even if they are geniuses, they probably don't have their own independent research institutes, right?
Not to mention strength, right?" An Xiaoxue said.
Wei Dajiang shook his head and smiled, "My mission is completed, then I will leave. Remember, if you can hold on, just hold on, if you can't, don't worry.
Is it possible that those people above really dare to let Research Institute No. 14 disband?
I don’t think they dare!”
"You can't wait until that step, right? I'll give it to you." An Xiaoxue said.
When they arrived at the elevator, Wei Dajiang stopped An Xiaoxue and said, "I'll go by myself. I'm old, but my eyesight is still bright."
"Well, Xu Tui, send Teacher Wei off for me."
"OK."
Research No. 14 is located on the 14th floor below. There is a long dedicated passage and a dedicated elevator. It takes two minutes to go out if you walk more slowly.
On the way, Xu Tui heard a lot of information and couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Teacher Wei, how much funding will our Institute No. 14 need in total to operate normally for one year?"
"You should call me Grandpa Wei. But that's not right. Well, you should just let this girl call me Teacher Wei.
If Research Institute No. 14 does not conduct short-term research and maintain normal operations, it will probably require 30 million a year.
If you do more research, it will be higher.
Anyway, in my impression, the research funding of Institute No. 14 had never been less than 50 million before this year, and it reached a peak of 70 million," Wei Dajiang said.
"Is it because of me?" Xu Tui was a little stressed.
"You are just an inducement. You are still young, and the things involved here are very complicated. It is not just a matter of borrowing a training warehouse.
Even if you don't show up, the conflict will only be a matter of one or two years. The hand over there is stretching longer and longer.
He even dared to have the founder’s idea of setting up a training warehouse.
simply......"
Wei Dajiang shook his head and patted Xu Tui's shoulder again, "You're actually quite slippery in what you do.
I saw the Deng Wei incident last time. In the first two fights, were you digging a hole for that kid and avoiding risks?"
When this matter was brought up, Xu Tui was a little embarrassed, "No, it's just normal to hold back. If he wasn't aggressive, he wouldn't have done anything like that."
"Don't deny it. You picked yourself out through the first two fights, and we old guys can still see it.
Otherwise, why would we still be fooling around?
However, if something like this happens in the future, feel free to do it boldly. As long as it complies with the rules, I will support you."
Having said this, Wei Dajiang sighed, "At this point, you are stronger than Xiaoxue, but Xiaoxue is still soft-hearted.
Little guy, grow up quickly, grow up quickly and help Xiaoxue, it’s a bit hard for her alone.”
Xu Tui nodded, "By the way, Teacher Wei, what can I do to help Teacher An?"
"What do you mean? I don't quite understand?"
"I mean, what can I do to get research funds for Research Institute No. 14 and reduce Teacher An's burden."
At this moment, Xu Tui especially wanted to do something for An Xiaoxue.
Just now, Xu Tui realized how much An Xiaoxue or Research Institute No. 14 had invested in him.
Someone paid 30 million to buy 12 copies of the original gene transcription solution of the black-capped queen bee.
Xu Tui used a total of forty-two servings.
These alone are more than 100 million.
If you include others, it is simply an astronomical number.
Xu Tui didn't even think about it.
Those numbers are too far away from Xu Tui.
Now, Xu Tui just wants to help An Xiaoxue within the scope of his ability and courage.
Hearing Xu Tui's words, Wei Dajiang stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Xu Tui, and thought for a while before speaking.
"There are two ways. One is to make new research inventions.
In fact, if the short-term research is successful, as long as the application is approved, in the name of Research Institute No. 14, not only will the research experience not be cut off, but there will also be rewards.
However, this is difficult.
Today is no longer the era when genetic research just started. An invention occurred in a few months. Research has continued for a hundred years. The cycle of new discoveries is getting longer and longer, and it is becoming more and more difficult.
Many professors may not be able to produce a research result in three to five years, so you should not consider it," Wei Dajiang said.
"What about second place?" Xu Tui asked.
This one sounds difficult, but Xu Tui didn't say give up immediately, and he could try it in the future.
"Second, do you know where the work performance of us professors and vice deans, or the most important aspect of the evaluation, comes from?"
"Personal strength?"
Wei Dajiang shook his head.
"Research results?"
Wei Dajiang shook his head again.
"Teaching results?" Xu Tui frowned.
This time, Wei Dajiang nodded, "That's almost it. Teaching performance is very important, but this teaching performance does not refer to the kind of students who are brought out by large classes.
That can only affect the evaluation of professional titles and positions, but not research funding."
"What does that mean?"
"Specially recruited students."
“To a certain extent, the specially recruited students of a certain professor or associate professor are also his research projects.
If this student has amazing growth and progress, it means that the professor's research project has achieved great results.
This also represents the success of short-term research projects.
With results, the research funding for short-term projects will not be cut, and if the performance is really outstanding, additional research funding may be added," said Wei Dajiang.
Xu Tui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Wei, what can we do to make the school determine that Teacher An's research project has made progress? In other words, the school can determine that Teacher An has made progress in training me as a student?" Xu Tui asked.
“There are many methods, research contributions, and senior students completing tasks of a certain number and difficulty.
Or go on missions to earn back a certain amount of merit.
Of course, there is only one simple and direct way." Wei Dajiang said.
"Which one?"
"Dragon and Tiger List.
Be among the top ten in each grade's rankings, or directly enter the school's overall rankings!"
