I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Yanda, Experimental Building of the Academy of Biological Sciences.

The mysterious laboratory on the sixth floor of the building has become the subject of hot discussion among Yan University students in recent days.

Obviously they are all in the same building, but the locked glass door across the stairs on the 5th to 6th floor has covered the genetic laboratory with a veil of mystery.

Through that layer of glass, you can see a metal sign with red letters on a gold background, with the six words "National Key Project" written on it, and the official seal of the Huaguo Science and Technology Commission underneath.

Next to it is a list of laboratory leaders.

Project leader: Qiao Yu

Laboratory Director: Qiao Yu/Tan Zirui

But what excites these graduate students the most is a red honor roll that changes regularly.

Sure enough, when I came to see it on Monday, the name on the honor roll had changed again.

"Congratulations to Professor Qi Shaopeng's paper "miRNA regulates the secretion of extracellular vesicles in prostate cancer" published in the 2018.11 issue of "Science Advances"."

A third-year student at Yan University sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's too strong, why are there new papers every week! The school's official website will be swiped."

If the school has papers published in major foreign journals, they are usually praised on the official website.

""Advances in Science" is a sub-journal of "Science". If I can publish an article on "Advances in Science" before graduation, I will be single until I am 30!"

"I'm different, I don't want to publish papers, I just want to enter Qiao Yu's laboratory..."

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

If you can get a good job on CNS, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

It's no wonder that these students look like they haven't seen the world, and laugh at the glass every day.

After all, even a top2 university can enroll 7000 students a year across the country.

However, for the papers in the first area of ​​SCI, I don’t know if we can find 2000 papers in one year across the country... If it is subdivided into the field of biology, the number will be even less.

While a group of students were watching, a handsome boy happened to pass by.

Li Hua, the low-level scientific research dog of the genetic experiment, coughed twice: "Excuse me, let me swipe my card."

The people next to him gave way one after another, Li Hua took out his access control card, swiped it on the sensor, and the thick glass door swung open.

Under the envious eyes of a group of people, he walked from the stairs to the sixth floor, turned a corner, and disappeared.

Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, even if Li Hua is just a low-level scientific research dog, he is an existence that ordinary students can't afford.

After all, he has another identity, that is Professor Qiao Yu's first generation direct disciple!According to age, he can also be called "big brother" by another disciple.

Heh, back then when he was dispatched from Wang Linhai to Qiao Yu, the plastic fellow who took the postgraduate entrance examination together pretended to comfort him for a long time.

Li Hua still remembered the WeChat message sent by the other party in the middle of the night: "Although Professor Qiao has just returned from overseas and has no resources, but Professor Qiao is so young, working under him, he will definitely learn something!"

On the surface, it is consolation, but if you taste it carefully, it is gloating between the lines.

After all, in people's common understanding, professors don't start to change from other people's wage earners to bosses until they are 35 years old.

The new professor's main task is to correct the test papers for undergraduates.

The other party was a graduate student in a foreign university, and he heard that he had been admitted to an Ivy League school, so it was no wonder he was so sarcastic.

Li Hua didn't know what came to his mind. He was going to change clothes and enter the laboratory, so he turned around and walked to the honor roll, and took a photo.

He opened Yanyou's WeChat, and the last message was still a month ago.

Li Hua sent him a photo, and a paper in their laboratory was published in "Nature Genetics", and as the third author, Li Hua occupied a place in the corner of the journal.

After that, the friend never called him back.

Li Hua sent the photo he had just taken to his fellow researcher, and typed in the chat box: Hey, it's so annoying, and I sent another SCI District [-] paper.Several newspapers are contacting our director, wanting to interview the genetic laboratory, it is really endless.

Fellow researcher: ...

Li Hua continued: By the way, how is your life abroad?

Unfortunately, this message could not be delivered.A red exclamation mark appears next to the dialog box.

"Young people nowadays are really fragile."

Li Hua turned off his mobile phone and walked away with his head held high, his face full of arrogant pride.

Qiao Yu inspected today's work, and began to think about the balance on the bank card.

"It seems that after this month, I'm going to start short of money again..."

At this point, three months had passed since the experiment started.

The weather is getting cooler, and the students walking in the school have already put on two sweaters.

Abundant funds, coupled with first-class minds.

The progress of the genetic laboratory has been advancing all the way, which can be described as remarkable achievements.

Because too many papers have been published in related fields, the editorial department of "Cell Genetics" even sent an invitation, hoping that Qiao Yu would write a review on targeted gene therapy.

The thesis review has always been exclusive to the big guys, and has certain industry guiding significance.Some people always say that the review is a parallel import paper, but in fact, there is nothing in the stomach, and the water will not come out, and there is no qualification to be a parallel import.

It is not the first time that foreign journals invite Chinese scholars to write a review, but it still caused a commotion.

In the field of gene therapy, Huaguo's foundation is very weak. Major domestic pharmaceutical companies are still picking up leftovers from foreign pharmaceutical companies, and sometimes they can't keep up with good ones.

It is conceivable how stunned the major universities in the country were when they suddenly heard the news.

Open the official website of the Yanda Academy of Biological Sciences and click on the results column of the genetic laboratory to see, good guy, those who know it have only been established for three months, those who don’t know think it has been researched for three years!Rows of papers are neat and uniform, and papers from CNS to SCI journals in the first, second and third districts are all published.

According to Huaguo's standard, whoever publishes more papers will have a bigger fist.

Therefore, even at a young age, Qiao Yu, who has written countless papers, has the ability to punch a master.

Qiao Yu called the leaders of several groups over and said that a meeting would be held.

Yu Hanxi rolled up his sleeves: "I'm about to see the whole process of protein disulfide bond isomerase promoting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of liver cancer by activating β-catenin. If what you said today is not important, I will let you see it." What is the light of the right path?"

Qi Shaopeng advised him not to learn an internet term and use it indiscriminately, so as to pretend that he is from Huaguo.

Qiao Yu coughed: "The laboratory is almost out of money again."

Tan Zirui frowned: "So fast?"

Some people were fired from the genetic laboratory, and some people were recruited again.

Today, there are five experimental groups and 46 staff members.

A laboratory is a renminbi incinerator, and now the five teams are working together at full power, which is simply a banknote incinerator.

Of course, compared with the published papers, this cost performance is still very high.

"Well, I can last for two months by saving some money. After all, I have been burning money and have no income." Qiao Yu replied calmly, "So I brought you together to calculate how much I need for the next experiment."

"As for the requirement, it's not directly developed, it's enough to last a year's progress of the experiment."

According to the experimental blue book, the goal of the next phase of the experiment is to find a way to make the diseased cancer cells of different tumor types have the same death method.In other words, it is to find out the medicine that can take effect on the specific point of the mutated gene.

In this step, the cultivation of cancer cells and drug testing are all costly.It is also the most costly step in the entire R&D phase.

To be honest, the genetic laboratory already spends a lot less money than other laboratories because it takes less detours.

Yu Hanxi raised two fingers.

Qi Shaopeng asked doubtfully, "2000 million, isn't it a bit small?"

"Two hundred million." Yu Hanxi replied, "My group."

Although Qi Shaopeng is a professor at Tsinghua University, but he has lived for so long and has not reached [-] million, so he gasped suddenly.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Yu Hanxi's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger.

Qiao Yu's expression was as calm as ever, and he recorded the data without even blinking his eyes.

Professor Zhao took out a pen and paper, did some calculations, and replied conservatively, "650 million."

Zhao Zhirui is a person who has never seen strong winds and waves. When the data was calculated, his hands were shaking a little.

For the remaining groups, the quotations are also hovering around [-] million.

Qiao Yu thought for a moment: "Then make it up and apply for one billion."

The meeting room suddenly became silent like a morgue.

Yu Hanxi felt that he was already daring, but he didn't expect Qiao Yu to think more than him.

It took only three months for 3000 million, and now I want a billion...

Yu Hanxi's heart felt a little heavy.

He had a falling out with Qing University before because of the experiment funding.

Yu Hanxi did an experiment and did the math, and it cost 8000 million. The leader has been dragging his feet for two months, and the application form is still circulating in the school, and he will use an official accent when he asks.

At that time, many people were not optimistic about his project, but Yu Hanxi wanted to prove himself more than ever.

So he went to a place that would give him 8000 million.

At that time, he quarreled with Shi Wen, saying that the Academy of Life Sciences spends [-] million yuan a year, and it is better to save the money and give him the money to a bunch of waste.

He has immigrated for 8 years, and gradually he is not as sharp as when he was in his 20s.

Sometimes I can understand why the above will not give money.

Compared with some projects that can see immediate results and directly change people's production, the field of genetics has broad prospects, but it is too advanced.For a while, some research didn't even find much use.

It is common for the results of the laboratory to be applied to production practice after 5, 10, or even 30 years.The economic base determines the superstructure, and the infrastructure cannot keep up. No matter how good the theoretical results of the laboratory are, there is no way to realize them.

You can guarantee that in the laboratory, it is found that "antisense oligonucleotides can regulate gene expression or change pre-mRNA splicing after degrading the target", in today's society, it must be better than the 10 yuan bottle of "poisonous cockroach medicine" under the flyover "is that useful?

……

But after Yu Hanxi thought about it, it was actually unnecessary to speculate whether Qiao Yu could get the money.

Anyway, he is just a temporary worker, and he will go back when the time comes.If there is no money, there is no way to carry out the next experiment; it does not matter to him to use distilled water to make milk tea in the laboratory.

Li Hua, a scientific research dog, worked in the laboratory for three months and finally received a new task from his boss.

With him, there is also the predecessor Comrade Wang Xiaoming.

Qiao Yu threw them a bunch of materials: "This is the review I wrote for "Cell Genetics". This is the paper of the genetic laboratory in the past three months. This is the material summarized by several professors. You can organize these , Chinese is fine.”

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yu spent another 10 minutes working out a rough outline: "Let's take it and write it down."

Li Hua said: "Okay. When do you want it?"

"this week."

Wang Xiaoming asked in a low voice: "Can I ask why you are sorting this out?"

"Application for funding."

As soon as money is mentioned, Wang Xiaoming will not be sleepy.

It's really cool to not have to worry about the days when the scientific research funds are burned out.

Now he is in the lab, and he wears two layers of acrylic gloves...of course, this is mainly because some materials are somewhat toxic.

"How much will it cost this time?"

"One billion." Qiao Yu replied, adding a word, "Yes."

No matter when he was talking about business or joking, Qiao Yu's expression didn't change.

So much so that Wang Xiaoming and him looked at each other for 1 minute before they were sure that the other party was telling the truth.

A few minutes later, Li Hua and Wang Xiaoming walked away with dreamy expressions on their faces.
