Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Protein purification instrument, 70% new, the current price is 220,000. The liquid nitrogen tank is 170,000, the desktop freeze dryer is 260,000, and the biological safety cabinet is 310,000... In total, it is two million less. It is quite discerning. . "Professor Cai compared a table with prices, and said silently.

Even researchers who often do experiments can't tell the price of various research equipment, because different equipment models and different manufacturers have different prices. The same protein purifier costs 500,000, or 200,000. If you don't care about it, you won't know it at all.

In this regard, researchers are somewhat similar to doctors. Everyone wants to use better and more advanced instruments and equipment, but time and energy do not allow them to spend time on tracking instruments and equipment, knowing the price and the reserve price of the product. It is impossible. Because of this, pharmaceutical companies and equipment companies will send specialized personnel to help doctors and researchers understand them.

Even so, researchers and doctors can only understand. In China in the 1980s, there were no salesmen from equipment companies, and it was normal to do research without knowing the price of the equipment.

Yang Rui couldn't pick all the expensive ones, he just made a rough decision.

Hearing Professor Cai's words, Yang Rui laughed twice and asked, "Not too much?"

"More than 1 million or so." Professor Cai said angrily: "If most of the laboratory is not funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it's okay to give you more money."

"These are not our money."

"These funds are for the PCR project, but the PCR project is not yours?"

"The PCR project belongs to Sinovel."

"Whoever owns it, I'll assign it to you, and the department has passed it. You can write two articles and use these instruments, and you'll be fine." Professor Cai paused for a while, and then said: "Check the institute. The director almost lost the funding of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the department gave them two projects with a relatively large amount of funds to let them slow down. But the total score for the instrument is for us, right?"

Yang Rui couldn't help laughing.

There is no such thing as political fattening.

The Faculty is not just the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Faculty members like Professor Cai still have huge influence and even power. Once they gain power, they will naturally have to readjust the distribution rules.

Yang Rui is a pure direct descendant of Peking University, so he is naturally one of the rewards.

Yang Rui has always been against this kind of thing.

If there is a better system and method in the world to replace it, Yang Rui probably agrees with it, but it is a pity that there is no better system in the world.

If you stand on the winning side, you should naturally get the fatter part, otherwise, who will follow you.

Professor Cai wants to praise Yang Rui, but at the same time, he also needs Yang Rui's support.

Of course, Yang Rui needs Professor Cai's support even more.

"Thank you, Professor Cai. In the ion channel laboratory, there is not much rest during the Spring Festival. I will urge them to publish papers when I go back." Yang Rui promised with a smile.

"I believe that if you publish a paper, the instrument will be suitable for you." Professor Cai said, "Don't be too anxious. It is enough to publish within three to five months. The most important thing is to issue a higher grade."

"Don't worry, jmc is the least." Yang Rui said that a large journal with an impact factor of 4.0 is like his own back garden.

If another ordinary professor came over, Professor Cai would have to say that he was bragging, and even an ordinary expert would not dare to say that he would publish a journal whenever he wanted.

However, Yang Rui did go as soon as he wanted to.

In this regard, the professors of the Biology Department of Peking University had to be convinced, and so was Professor Cai.

There are so many people in the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, they are inferior to Yang Rui, and the latter's ability to publish articles is the most important factor. In academia, what is said is false, and the results of the article are the most convincing.

No matter who the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University is, he can publish papers in this laboratory. As long as he has this kind of understanding, there will never be no one to come.

Professor Cai signed a note to Yang Rui and said, "You take it to the office, and let them arrange the equipment for you when the time comes."

"okay."

Yang Rui was in a very good mood.

The funding of nearly 2 million was quite a lot even when he was in graduate school.

If it is based on the average, domestic graduate students can spend only 17,000 yuan per year, and 2 million yuan can support 100 master students for a year. If the time for research and laying the foundation is removed, 2 million yuan is enough to cover 50 master students for three years. expenses.

And now in 1985, the 2 million instruments are even more powerful.

The laboratory of Professor Tang Zhong, who is a domestic leader, has an annual expenditure of more than one million yuan. Although his laboratory must have accumulated over the years, Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory also has a lot of accumulation. .

Now that Yang Rui only needs to send these instruments back, the attractiveness of the ion channel laboratory to scientific researchers will immediately rise to several levels.

Putting away the list and leaving, Yang Rui patted his forehead and said, "I forgot to mention that Professor Dalbecco may come to China."

Professor Cai was surprised: "When will you come? What's the purpose?"

"He is going to Japan, and he came to China." Yang Rui paused, and said: "Professor Dalbecco recently wanted to promote the Human Genome Project. I heard that the Americans are going to let each participating country share the money in proportion. The Japanese Always rich, Professor Dalbecco wants to talk to them."

The Japanese in the 1980s gave people the impression that they were like the Middle Easterners in the 21st century, full of local tyrants.

Professor Cai nodded in understanding, and said in a flash: "He also wants money in China?"

"The country probably refuses to give it." Yang Rui shrugged and said, "I am a little interested in this. I may try to fight for it at that time."

"What are you fighting for?"

"Human Genome Project, I want to join in."

Professor Cai pondered for a while, and said, "Then prepare, at least to make a good impression on others."

Yang Rui tentatively asked, "Should we apply for some funds to participate in the Human Genome Project? Personally, I think this project is very feasible."

"I heard it costs $1 to sequence a base pair?"

"Yes."

"In human terms, there are two or three billion base pairs, and the total cost is two or three billion?"

"Yes, they've been aiming for $3 billion."

"It's really a big project." Professor Cai said with emotion: "It's a pity we can't afford it."

He glanced at Yang Rui and said: "You are still young, if you have the opportunity, you can go out and venture, I will not stop you."

Yang Rui was taken aback, knowing that Professor Cai had misunderstood, he hurriedly said, "I'm not planning to go abroad."

"Look, it's not a bad thing. I agree with you if you want to go out or stay." Professor Cai didn't say anything strange, but said seriously: "You may not have any ideas, but since Dalbecco is here, he definitely doesn't." As a gift to the rich boy."

Yang Rui was silent.

As Professor Cai said, there are many people who want to participate in a super project like the Human Genome Project, but few countries can afford it.

With Professor Cai's ability and qualifications, it is impossible to host the Human Genome Project, but it is no problem to host a section, or assist in hosting a section, but China has no money, so he can't attend.

Of course, in the mid-1990s, China also joined the Human Genome Project and used 30 million US dollars to make the genetic part of the Chinese people. But at that time, no one can say what kind of energy and physical strength Professor Cai had.

The gap between scholars in underdeveloped countries and those in developed countries is far from being as simple as the difference in living conditions.

Professor Cai said, and then said: "I'll ask the office to come over and participate together. It's okay for them to be in charge of the reception when the time comes."

It's the best thing for someone to talk about it, Yang Rui didn't hesitate to throw the pot out.

The cleaning of the laboratory, the maintenance and inspection of experimental instruments, etc., suddenly became the work of the department office.

Yang Rui saved some time and went to the ion channel laboratory and Huarui laboratory to solve some research progress issues when he left.

A laboratory with rapid research progress will appear to be thriving from the outside.
