Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Why X-ray won the Nobel Prize? Why did De Broglie win the Nobel Prize? Even the reason why PCR won the Nobel Prize in history is related to the public opinion environment at that time.

Of course, this is not to say that someone’s Nobel Prize came from publicity—there are too few places for the Nobel Prize, and the result is that every Nobel Prize-winning scholar and research achievement can be said to be of extraordinary value, but, Why did they win the Nobel Prize and not someone else equally remarkable? This inevitably has countless variables.

The biggest variable, in the final analysis, is the role of people.

When a certain winner has an advantage in the public opinion environment, his chances of winning the Nobel Prize are much higher.

This is reflected not only in the jury but also in the nominators.

Although the Nobel Prize has never talked about the number of nominations, from a realistic point of view, scholars who receive more nominations will undoubtedly be more likely to win the Nobel Prize.

The nominees, whether they are professors from the Karolinska Institutet, previous Nobel laureates, or invited professors from many universities around the world, are inevitably influenced by public opinion.

Yang Rui didn't need to describe it to Cao Da in detail, but after he briefly talked about it, Ambassador Cao, who had already studied by himself, understood, and said, "So you want to get publicity within Sweden?"

"It's best to promote it on a global scale. If it can't be done, it can only be promoted in Sweden." Yang Rui was a little helpless. Why Moores was able to win the prize through PCR? In order to promote PCR, his company spent two years holding various lectures on PCR all over the world.

It can be said that no one in laboratories all over the world and scholars in related fields around the world knows that Murris did PCR.

During the most tumultuous period, whenever you attended any biological-related international conferences or forums on the pharmaceutical industry, you would definitely hear about PCR and Murris.

In the early 1990s, whenever a scholar started the PCR machine, he thought of Murris' name. Such propaganda is extremely frightening.

However, when Yang Rui took the lead in completing the PCR, he no longer had such conditions.

On the one hand, he himself hopes to do more scientific research instead of publicity. On the other hand, Yang Rui's Chinese identity is not the type that the sales company is willing to promote.

This is the transparent ceiling,

You can't fly up lightly like the white man, you have to use all your strength to hit it away.

Furthermore, it is quite difficult for Yang Rui to raise such resources, and the cost will only be higher.

Cao Da didn't care what Yang Rui's thoughts were, but Yang Rui's request made him frown, and said, "Whether it's global or Swedish, it's not a trivial matter. Do you have a plan?"

"I have several, but I don't know which one is more suitable." Yang Rui naturally thought about it carefully, and said at this time: "The first is the most basic. I can associate PCR with the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project can It is said that it is a super moon landing project, which is very promising, and PCR is the core technology of it..."

Cao Da listened noncommittally, and then asked, "What about the second type?"

"Does it feel inappropriate?" Yang Rui could hear his dislike.

Cao Da smiled and nodded, and said, "The Human Genome Project you mentioned is different from going to the moon after all. Everyone knows that the plan to go to the moon is to go to the moon. If you can think about it clearly, genes are not so clear, let alone , PCR is just one of the techniques.”

"Then give up this plan." Yang Rui didn't mean to hang on here, and said: "The second way is to use the celebrity effect. PCR can accurately measure the blood relationship, whether it is father and son or brother, there is no problem, find a With the right celebrity, it should be able to create a piece of news.”

Cao Da didn't quite understand, and asked: "Is it to test the relationship between father and son? Brother relationship?"

"Almost, paternity test or something, can determine the blood relationship of two people 100%, which is much more accurate than blood test and blood type test." Yang Rui said and patted his head: "By the way, if necessary, we Archeology can also be funded. As far as I know, some scholars are studying the tomb of the last Russian tsar. Through PCR technology, they can confirm whether the body in the tomb is the real last tsar. They have doubts about this at present, so it should be regarded as Big news."

At the very least, this is news that can be broadcast on the China News Network.

Cao Da asked curiously, "How to confirm?"

"It is best to find the biological heritage left by the Tsar during his lifetime, and a certain judgment can also be made through descendants." Yang Rui did not say all of it. Historically, when the last tsar was still a prince, he visited Japan and was stabbed. The Japanese samurai sword that stabbed him is still well preserved in Tokyo. As long as the blood on it is extracted, it can be determined whether the last tsar is really lying in the tomb.

This was originally a good example of the use of PCR. Sweden and the Soviet Union border each other, and there is a desire to understand each other. Even if such news cannot spread throughout the world, it must have a certain influence in Sweden.

Cao Da said slowly: "If there is no better way, this is still a trick, but..."

"but?"

"It's not safe." Cao Da said: "I don't know what you mean by biological heritage, but archaeology itself is not safe. If something goes wrong, it's too late for you to think of other ways."

"It's indeed a problem." Yang Rui took a sip of his wine in annoyance.

Cao Da asked again: "Any other ideas?"

"You can also do crime scene investigation and the like, which is the same as archaeology." Yang Rui shrugged and said, "Just like a fingerprint is a person's imprint, DNA is even more so. PCR can test DNA very conveniently. So it is very common to use it for criminal investigation..."

"That's good!" Cao Da's thoughts were completely different from Yang Rui's. He raised his voice by 20%, and then lowered his voice, "That means PCR can solve the case, right?"

"certainly."

"what do you need?"

"If criminals leave biological clues, such as hair, bloodstains, saliva, vagina, etc., they can be used for comparison. Like fingerprints, if a suspect is found, the same DNA is the same person." Yang Rui said very well easy.

In fact, it is indeed very easy.

Later generations who pull out a random person will know not to leave DNA when committing crimes, but in the 1980s, no one knew this.

Therefore, it is like when fingerprints first came out, they can be used to catch many criminals.

The newly released DNA is basically artifact-level.

Cao Da listened fascinated, and said: "Isn't this very useful? I think it's good. If you can really catch a heinous criminal, plus the explanation of advanced technology, Europeans will be very concerned about such news."

Yang Rui nodded slowly and said, "Then we need to find a suitable case."

"It's easy to handle. I'll introduce you to the Swedish police chief." Cao Da called a staff member over, asked him to point out the chief's location, and dragged Yang Rui over.

Yang Rui only hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Criminal cases in developed countries in Europe and the United States are very easy to make big news, and the Simpson murder case and the like emerge in endlessly. Serial killers are frequent visitors on European and American TV stations. From Jack the Ripper to Breivik who lives in a luxury prison in Norway, they often appear in news and even movies.

Although it sounds rather superficial, it has neither the academic nature of archaeology nor the grandeur of the Human Genome Project, but if the news in Europe and the United States is only superficial, there is no way around it.
