Chapter 338 A topic that shocked academicians

"I think everyone should be familiar with Academician Xu. I won't introduce him too much here today. We can communicate with each other in private."

"Then let us warmly welcome Academician Xu Yun to join us!"

October 8, 2024, Imperial Capital, auditorium of the Academy of Engineering Headquarters Building.

Li Houlin, who was sitting on the stage with a smile on his face, introduced to the audience the academicians, professors and researchers.

And as his words fell, the entire auditorium suddenly burst into warm applause.

It lasted for nearly half a minute before slowly stopping.

It shows that everyone attaches great importance to this matter.

Having the family of such an influential and talented scientist in the hospital will provide support in terms of policies and funding, and they will also benefit from a lot of credit for the projects they are working on.

Maybe it can speed up the progress.

Some people have never seen Xu Yun in person before, but only heard about Xu Yun’s deeds from the Internet. Now they finally have the opportunity to observe it up close. They must take a closer look to appreciate this person who is known as the most talented person in human history. The style of young scientists.

Xu Yun, who was the center of everyone's attention, stood up on his own initiative.

Looking at it, there are mixed emotions.

The people who can participate in this important meeting of the Academy of Engineering are all academicians and formal researchers. To put it simply, the lowest person who can be pulled out is a full professor level person.

Research assistants are not even eligible to participate.

This also makes everyone comment that he is over forty years old. Compared with Xu Yun, who has almost no trace of age, he does seem older and out of place.

For those who don’t know, they think it’s students speaking?

Fortunately, this is not the first time Xu Yun has encountered this situation. He was used to it when he was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

When it was his turn to speak, Xu Yun did not delay anything and spoke to everyone immediately.

"thank you all."

"We will all be colleagues from now on. I also hope that seniors can give us more guidance and exchanges."

"If you have any questions, you can come to me to discuss them together."

After first thanking everyone for their welcome, Xu Yun said a few polite words step by step.

Then he sat down again at Li Houlin's signal.

Of course Xu Yun said so, but no one would be stupid enough to actually go to Xu Yun for advice.

After all, everyone knows Xu Yun's strength. Although he is young and looks harmless to humans and animals, he is no different from an ordinary college student, but his strength and level make people feel inferior.

Even if an academician came over, he would probably only ask Xu Yun for advice.

Xu Yun was finally brought to the Academy of Engineering. The happiest person was undoubtedly Li Houlin as the dean.

What's more, Xu Yun brought new projects as soon as he entered the Academy of Engineering.

The hospital must fully support this.

Although to outsiders this new project seems almost impossible to succeed.

In the following time, Li Houlin conducted the meeting according to the previous procedures. It was not until he talked about the projects in the hospital that he specifically introduced Xu Yun's cell active agent project.

He had long known Xu Yun's idea of ​​forming his own research team, and he also specially gave a list of suitable personnel.

In this case, I must make it clear to everyone.

If someone is unwilling to join this research group, it is not easy for the hospital to forcefully arrange tasks.

Research and development on major topics are different from learning. If you are not interested in joining the project voluntarily, you will only become more exhausted in the later development process.

I can't devote myself wholeheartedly to it.

This will affect the normal progress of the project.

For this reason, Xu Yun would not force him to join even if he selected someone.

Now I am taking the opportunity to mention it briefly at the meeting, which will also facilitate the subsequent formation of the research team.

There are almost no teams in the world that are researching so-called cell-active drugs to enhance physical fitness and reduce the probability of illness. This is different from chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy and belongs to a completely new category of research topics.

Therefore, faced with such a difficult topic, it is very likely that there will be no progress for a long time.

Invisibly, it will bring great psychological pressure to the participating members, and they will also be tied to the topic and it will be difficult to escape.

Based on these factors, I believe that even if Xu Yun is the general person in charge of the project, others will seriously consider joining the project.

"This is the next key scientific research project in the hospital and will be led by Academician Xu Yun of the Department of Medicine."

“Relevant project members will be selected by Academician Xu himself.”

"The hospital will also support all the necessary equipment, instruments and funds."

As Li Houlin's voice sounded again, a simple scientific research project plan also appeared on the big screen and was also uploaded to the smart devices on the watches of everyone present.

For viewing by those attending the meeting.

Hearing that Xu Yun's next new project is under the Department of Medicine and has the full support of the hospital, it can be said that academicians and researchers from other departments are envious.

I couldn't help but glance at the people in the medical department.

Although the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Sciences are both top scientific research halls, the funds allocated from them every year are astronomical.

But you must know that conducting research is a waste of money. It is unknown how much money each project consumes from the establishment of the project to the results.

Moreover, in the huge Academy of Engineering, with so many academicians and researchers, it is not easy to get sufficient funding for a large number of projects, and you often have to find ways to reduce it as much as possible.

Members of the research team like Xu Yun can hardly find scientific research projects that they choose at will, and there is no limit on the amount of funds used. How can they not make everyone present envious? It can be said that they almost wish they were responsible for this project. .

So much so that there were a few murmurs in the auditorium.

"When did the hospital become so generous? I haven't heard of any scientific research projects with unlimited funding?"

“It’s really a project for someone else!”

"The project I took the lead last year took a long time to get approval for RMB 30 million."

"This is the gap. You can't accept it."

"For the academy to pay so much attention to it, I'm afraid Academician Xu's project must be extraordinary."

"It's a pity that I'm not from the Department of Medicine, otherwise I really want to join."

Li Houlin had no intention of stopping this.

But it should be noted that it was not that he did not intend to stop him, but he found that everyone was stunned before he could speak.

As many academicians and researchers present looked at Xu Yun's project, their expressions soon became a little strange, and later on their faces became even more complex and solemn.

It seems that they are not very optimistic about Xu Yun's project.

Originally, because of the excellent example of new chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy, everyone thought that Xu Yun would continue to research and open new topics on this basis. This can be said to be the safest way to effectively avoid the project's failure. fail.

The main reason is that Xu Yun has just been elected as an academician of the two academies. In this case, the first project is very important.

If the project fails and a large amount of money is wasted, it is easy to lose the population of penguins.

But the direction of Xu Yun's new project far exceeded their expectations. They didn't expect it to be so complicated and difficult.

Drugs that can enhance national immunity and prevent diseases can be understood by just analyzing the complexity of it. It involves many fields. The key point is that this topic is a blank field even in the world.

If we really want to conduct research, just thinking about it will make it clear that there will be no progress in a short period of time.

And this is often the biggest impact on a researcher’s self-confidence.

The researcher from the Medical Department, who was already a little concerned, could not help but reconsider it at this moment.

"It's really unimaginable!"

"He is truly the most talented scientist in human history. I'm afraid he is the only one who dares to challenge himself like this."

"Although if this project succeeds, it will bring us unimaginable huge benefits, but even Xu Yun is not absolutely sure. This is completely stepping on stones to cross the river."

"How can it be so easy to study things involving human cells and genes?"

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. After carefully reading the entire project plan, several academicians and researchers also expressed their support for Xu Yun.

It is believed that this topic will help increase the average life span of human beings and have far-reaching significance for the future development of human civilization.

Even if it is very difficult, it is worth studying.

Even if it takes a lot of time and money.

What's more, Xu Yun's talent is obvious to all. If anyone can solve this problem of the century, he is probably the only one.

Hearing the whispers of everyone below, Li Houlin's expression on the stage remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but worry about Xu Yun in his heart.

As others have said, this is a completely new area of ​​research.

However, since I have decided to support this project to the end, I can only place my hope on Xu Yun.

I believe Xu Yun can achieve something.

that's all.

Li Houlin coughed and said something to attract everyone's attention. After the auditorium became quiet again, he continued.

"Members selected to join this research group will be interviewed by Academician Xu in person. If they do not want to participate, they can clearly refuse."

Everyone in the audience heard Li Houlin's words and looked a little unnatural.

how to say.

As a member of the Academy of Engineering, if they are really selected to participate in Xu Yun's new research project, then I believe most people will not complain, but Li Houlin's words will undoubtedly make everyone more relaxed.

As for everyone's reaction, Xu Yun didn't think there was anything strange.

After all, even he found the preparation of cell-activating drugs troublesome. If he had not mastered the detailed configuration technology, he would not have dared to start corresponding research at this time.

As for whether people from the medical department would be willing to join his project, he also had no intention of forcing anything.

Anyway, it will be their own loss if they don’t join then.

The worst he can do is recruit more research assistants and give those postdoctoral opportunities.

He mainly relies on him to prepare the cell-activating drugs, and the others mainly assist him, so there are really no high requirements for the project team members.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour in the morning and did not end until about 10 o'clock in the morning.

After the meeting, many people took the initiative to greet Xu Yun and welcome him to be elected as an academician of the two academies.

Xu Yun also responded enthusiastically.

It seems that the relationship between colleagues is very harmonious.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Yun noticed that Li Houlin, the dean of the Academy of Engineering, did not leave immediately. Instead, he glanced at him more meaningfully. It was obvious that he had something to discuss in private.

So I was not in a hurry to return to my office, and went to Li Houlin's place on the way.

——

Arriving at Li Houlin's office, Xu Yun saw the door open and walked straight in.

"You're here, sit down quickly."

Li Houlin, who was sitting on the sofa playing with the tea cup, saw Xu Yun's figure and pointed to the empty seat opposite him and said that he had already prepared the tea and was waiting for Xu Yun to come over.

Xu Yun and Li Houlin have a good relationship now, and they don't show any restraint at this time.

He nodded and walked over to sit down.

"Everything in life has been arranged. If you need anything, just ask the hospital."

"It's all arranged." Xu Yun took the teacup handed over by Li Houlin and answered casually.

But Li Houlin was obviously more concerned about this matter. He put the brewed tea to his mouth and took a sip, and then asked again.

"As for the laboratory, I will arrange for someone to take you to see it later. If there are any missing instruments and equipment, we can make up for them as soon as possible. As for the members of the research team, just submit the list to me, and I will discuss the rest with others."

After listening to Li Houlin's words, Xu Yun understood that the other party was worried that his project would not be able to recruit suitable people, so he went to discuss with others in person.

After all, as the dean, others will agree to join even if they are not optimistic about this topic.

But this would be betraying Xu Yun's decision, so Xu Yun shook his head and chose to refuse.

"I appreciate the dean's kindness. I'd better talk about it myself."

"I guarantee that the research progress of the cell active agent project will not be affected by Ding Dian."

What Li Houlin is most worried about is that the project has not progressed for a long time, leaving people with no hope and continuing to invest funds. In the past, the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Sciences had many such projects, but in the end they basically chose to temporarily stop the project to reduce losses.

Now that I heard that Xu Yun was so confident, my worries were reduced a lot.

"Well."

"Since you are the project leader, I won't overstep too much." Li Houlin agreed with Xu Yun's decision.

After talking about the topic, Li Houlin then mentioned the hot news that everyone is paying attention to online recently.

That is the official list of Nobel Prize winners.

"correct."

"Have you decided what to do about the Nobel Prize?"

Speaking of which, Xu Yun also took the time to read online news in the past few days. After he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, domestic netizens did not react much and took it for granted, but overseas people seemed quite excited.

Many users congratulated him on popular platforms.

But since it was a decision that had been made before, Xu Yun would definitely not change his mind midway.

He has no idea of ​​going to Sweden to receive the award. He is relatively insecure and has no time at all, not to mention the key points.

After all, the cell active agent research team is currently under preparation, and the equipment needs to be resolved. How can we leave midway during the critical period of the official project?

Therefore, facing Li Houlin's inquiry, he once again expressed his attitude.

"I have sent an email to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, stating that I will voluntarily give up this award."

Hearing this answer from Xu Yun, Li Houlin sighed and paused for a few seconds before saying: "That's fine. The hospital respects your decision. Next, just study new topics. I'm waiting for your good news." It wasn't until the last sentence that he managed to squeeze out a smile.

From the perspective of his dean, it is definitely a good thing for someone in the dean to win the Nobel Prize.

Whoever makes the Nobel Prize famous is an affirmation for academicians.

It just so happened that the winner was Xu Yun.

There is no need for the Nobel Prize to prove anything.

Xu Yun could basically guess what Li Houlin was thinking, but since the other party didn't elaborate, he pretended he didn't hear it. Anyway, the email giving up the award had been sent.

Xu Yun did not stay with Li Houlin for a long time, but went to talk to the people he selected.

Let them join the cell active agent research team.

It is worth mentioning that there are no academicians among these people. Except for a few researchers and professors, they also include some postdoctoral fellows who serve as assistants.

However, they are all talents in the fields of biology and genetic engineering and have relatively rich experience.

He has also participated in scientific research projects overseas.

One of Ding Wei's students became a full professor in his thirties and was specially appointed as a researcher by the Academy of Engineering.

Perhaps it is because the average age of everyone is only over 30, and they are more motivated than those old academicians and like to challenge the difficulty. Therefore, after learning that they could join the research team to study with Xu Yun, they agreed excitedly without any hesitation.

According to them, the projects that Academician Xu participated in have never failed.

You will definitely learn a lot from following Academician Xu.

The main reason why they were so happy was because most of them didn't dare to think about it.

I felt that it was impossible for me to be selected by Xu Yun.

During the morning meeting, everyone knew that this topic was a completely new field of research and was extremely difficult. Even if Xu Yun took the lead, he should find authoritative figures in the industry to participate in joint research.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yun completely regarded it as a common topic.

But this just shows that Xu Yun is relatively confident in the research on this topic.

After determining the members of the research team, the project is on track.

If it is placed on other projects, it can be officially started now, with the person in charge assigning their respective tasks.

It's just that Xu Yun still needs to wait patiently for a while, until the equipment and instruments in the laboratory are upgraded.

at the same time.

The Royal Academy of Sciences in Sweden was worried, and immediately organized a discussion meeting after receiving Xu Yun's email.

The Nobel Prize has been held for many times since its establishment. Its global influence is unmatched by any other award, and it represents the most authoritative certification in several fields.

The new chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy developed by Xu Yun has successfully cured various types of cancer. It can be said that it has saved the lives of nearly 20 million cancer patients around the world. For this achievement alone, if the Physiology or Medicine Award is not awarded to People around the world will not agree with him either.

What's more, under the current circumstances, there will be no second person to receive this award.

Now that Xu Yun has voluntarily given up this award, it makes them feel like they are helpless and don't know how to deal with it.

The key is to respect Xu Yun's decision to cancel the award. I am afraid that the influence of the Nobel Prize will be greatly reduced in the future. In desperation, we have to urgently study better solutions.
