Chapter 474

"Although I read this paper more than once, I still feel very different every time. In fact, up to now, I can't believe that a paper that can create a school was written by a freshman." Professor Cai's voice was so soft that it broke the silence of the meeting room.

Yang Rui clearly heard an obvious exhalation.

The pressure of collective silence is still enormous.

Yang Rui gently twisted his waist and said, "I can't believe it, either."

A few chuckles rang out. On this serious occasion, it was a joke.

Professor Cai nodded slightly and said with a smile, "there is no chance of success. We all see how you do it. When you first applied for the school fund, the article you came out with was "the generation and damage mechanism of oxygen free radicals", and another one was better. Remember it was "the molecular mechanism of voltage gating in sodium and potassium channels."

"Yes. I didn't expect you to remember Yang Rui almost forgot his name.

Professor Cai said with a smile, "I read the name before the meeting."

The whole room laughed. The title requirement of the paper is very clear, that is to use keywords to explain what you write, emphasizing accuracy and logic, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to remember the full name.

Even Yang Rui can't remember all his papers, let alone other people.

Tang Jianji said: "the first time I saw the production and damage mechanism of oxygen free radicals, I still felt that the knowledge was out of date, and the molecular mechanism of voltage gating in sodium and potassium channels was very insightful. Our school was also stingy. At any rate, we finally gave 2000 yuan of school fund, which was explained by Cheng Shi."

Professor Cheng Shi, who was named, laughed.

Yang Rui nodded to him gratefully. He didn't know what was in it before.

Professor Cai said with a smile: "we also have limited funds. Besides, at that time, who could have guessed that Yang Rui had killed through the molecular mechanism of potassium channel all the way..."

"Zhao Zilong, Peking University." Professor Wang Yong, who has always been optimistic about Yang Rui, praised it very interesting.

President Liu followed closely, said with a smile: "killed seven in and seven out on the sodium potassium slope."

The allusions of the Three Kingdoms once again caused a light laugh, which made the conference room harmonious. At the same time, it also proved that scholars' laughter is really low enough. I can't help it. After all, there is a threshold for academic jokes, and there is a lack of skilful storytellers. It's not like stock market jokes. If you listen to more than 80 jokes a day, it's easy to improve your laugh point.

Without waiting for Yang Rui to respond, Professor Cai said, "what I admire most is..."

He used the word "admire" solemnly and stressed it. After a pause, he said again, "Yang Rui, what I admire most is your ability and willingness to raise funds to do research. I thought you were a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers. Unexpectedly, you made it, You are a tiger going down the mountain

Yang Rui touched his head and said with a smile: "lucky."

"It was a fluke." This time, Professor Cai took his expression seriously and said, "this time you have made it. Naturally, we can recall the process with a smile. But you never thought what would happen if you failed?"

Silence returned to the room.

Scientific research can be easy to muddle through, but scientific research eager for success can be cruel.

Sometimes, running towards success means entering a cruel and powerless world.

The most common cruelty is the cruelty of research funding.

It is impossible to do scientific research without scientific research funds, which is clear to the researchers of new China who have experienced poverty. Of course, in the propaganda of the government, there are indeed some scientific researchers who have made great achievements with little funds, but it is like winning a lottery. It is possible nationwide, but it can never be guaranteed.

10 Five years ago, Professor Tao Qimin of Peking University tried out China's first hepatitis B vaccine on himself, but he couldn't get tens of thousands of gorillas. The reason why they need to try it is that they have already made a hepatitis B vaccine. Only the last step of the test is needed to produce the vaccine that China needs most at that time.

However, they didn't get the gorilla after all.

It's hard to imagine what kind of mood Professor Tao Qimin chose to inject himself. despair? Maybe it's too heavy, but hope is too light.

It may not be a well thought out decision, but it's certainly not impulsive. Because Tao Qimin has two children, she told them about it, but "they are still young and don't know anything.".It's not that no one has no choice. No one will risk a lifelong infectious disease and give himself a shot.

As for the management at that time, there was probably plenty of reason for not giving Tao Qimin the gorillas he needed. Maybe it's because he's busy, maybe it's because he's incompetent, maybe it's because he doesn't trust Tao Qimin

Since the world's top stars may also kick penalties, it's not surprising that the researchers failed in the goal.

There are many reasons for failure, but only success can be praised.

A successful Yang Rui will get the chance to publish his paper in cell. What about a failed Yang Rui?

"Did the Huarui laboratory, which provided you with funds, put forward any requirements?" Professor Cai naturally made a guess, and said: "any problem can be put forward, we can help you solve it."

Everyone in the conference room nodded and looked at Yang Rui.

"It's just a normal scientific research contract. The other party took a fancy to my coenzyme Q10 technology, so they provided me with funds. Fortunately, they did a good job, so they got a second fund." After all, Yang Rui is young and excited about success, which is different from Professor Cai and others.

Tang Jianji thought that he couldn't save face and said, "Yang Rui, Professor Cai is a member of the academic department. Even if it's a business contract, he can help. If you have any difficulties, just say it."

Wang Yong also said: "we all say that you can't shed blood and tears. It's a good thing that you have made achievements. The other party is also an investment. Don't feel that you owe them."

They think Yang Rui is understatement. Scientific research competition is not a treat. Just look at Richard. The University of California, Berkeley is one of the top 10 universities in the world, and its ranking in biology is almost at the top. However, even the professors in such top universities lost millions of dollars, and then they were completely depressed.

For young people like Yang Rui, any funding provider will have various restrictions. It's hard to see a failure, but sometimes it's hard to see a victory.

It seems that ordinary Chinese don't understand the scheme of providing funds like poisoned wine. How can the professors here not understand it.

Professor Cai said again, "don't worry. You are from Peking University. Peking University won't let you suffer."

"Thank you, Professor Cai. It's really a good cooperation plan, and now it's a success without sequelae." Yang Rui was slightly moved.

Professor Cai's ability to say this in front of everyone really gives him a reassurance.

Although all kinds of problems still existed before the publication of cell, and Peking University did not put forward them so solemnly, which was a bit snobbish, Yang Rui could understand them very well.

Because before the publication of the paper and the success of the research, some people knew it was poisonous wine and would rather drink it.

It's better to drink poison liquor, at least have money, at least break the bridge, win or survive, lose or die properly than to let the project slip through the cracks of the hand.

In the past few years, most Chinese researchers did not share the bonus of research success. For example, the famous Qian Xuesen, who built the atomic bomb, received a total bonus of 10 yuan. In other words, if the research failed, his bonus would be less than 10 yuan. That is to say, after the 1980s, the tide of scientific research personnel came down, which brought the red envelope of victory to the researchers.

Because of this, the capital poison of the early 1980s was not rejected.

It's Yang Rui's own business that Yang Rui is willing to drink poisonous wine. Peking University can't manage it, and there's no need to manage it. It can even be said that Yang Rui has the ability to find poisonous wine, which is not easy. How many people can't find poisonous wine.

Yang Rui has now made unexpected achievements. Professor Cai's initiative to offer antidotes is not only rare, but also worthy of respect for his choice.

Tang Jianji asked Yang Rui about the details of the contract, and Yang Rui answered them one by one. Of course, his version is based on the contract he signed with Huang Mao and others. It is a slightly harsh contract model for later generations, but now it is slightly generous.

Professor Cai and others listened carefully, and several professors who had dealt with foreigners also made suggestions.

With that, the meeting room quieted down.

Yang Rui looked at both sides and thought: it seems that he is going to solve the mystery. I don't know what Professor Cai wants to do when he gathers people.

The most likely project is to work together to clone mutant genes and analyze potassium channels. Yang Rui and his colleagues have made one, but there are more than ten hundred genes that determine potassium channels. The first ones will be published in top journals.

This is also the main reason why Yang Rui's papers occupy the most space in the same issue. Although the top journals require pioneering research, the pioneering work of Yang Rui is almost first-class.Next, the researchers who can do the work of finding and filling the gaps will get a different treatment from Yang Rui's paper if they can get on cell. After that, it will be very difficult for them to get on cell if they want to do the paper of potassium channel analysis.

Of course, when most of the potassium channel genes have been tossed and discovered, the papers that cost more time and money may be re published in top journals, just like the retro fashion in the fashion industry, which seems to be regular and irregular.

In fact, what kind of research can be regarded as pioneering research and then be published in the top journals is a bit like the fashion industry itself. Before Yang Rui's paper was officially published, everyone thought there was an opportunity, but no one could be sure that his paper would be published.

It's just like a designer who has made a diamond flower style dress that many people like, but it's hard to say whether he can show it in Paris and Milan.

On the other hand, once the designer shows up in Paris and Milan, the diamond flower style dress is undoubtedly a new fashion, just like a pioneering paper, once published in the top journals, it establishes a pioneering research.

At this stage, it is the latter who decides the former. Moreover, as long as the speed is fast enough and the quality is good enough, the later followers can definitely get on the top stage.

However, after five or ten years, after the precipitation of time, the followers tend to disappear with the wind, but the creators will reestablish their status with their own works.

For the paper, the high number of citations will be the most basic praise.

Now, Yang Rui's paper has just been published, and researchers from all over the world are basically at the same level in terms of potassium channel research. If Peking University wants to follow suit and mix two top papers, it is the easiest way to find Yang Rui.

After all, Yang Rui's paper does not describe and explain everything in detail. The complicated process during this period will still consume a lot of money and time for the underachievers.

If they continue to cooperate with Yang Rui in the research of potassium channel, they may even rush to publish another paper before the first follower appears.

Before that, Huang Mao and Tu Xian had similar thoughts, but they had no funds.

But in this conference room, there are not a few professors with independent laboratories. They even have Yang Rui's papers. It's easier for them to apply for funds with them, which is somewhat humorous.

Just when Yang Rui was daydreaming, Professor Cai looked at everyone and said, "Yang Rui, would you like to lead an independent laboratory?"

"What Yang Rui turned his head for more than ten minutes, but he didn't expect the result.

The independent laboratory in the university is not a joke. It is really independent. Especially before 2000, the system was not perfect. Having an independent laboratory was almost like gaining a fiefdom. Except for the incomplete political rights, the financial and personnel aspects were relatively independent. Unless there was thunder, it was a small kingdom in the University.

It can be said that having an independent laboratory is the lifelong pursuit of Chinese researchers.

Generally speaking, the pursuit of a lifetime, can lead an independent research laboratory, can be said to be successful.

Instead of explaining the meaning of an independent laboratory, Professor Cai said, "today's professors and associate professors either have their own independent laboratory or work in an independent laboratory. You can choose one or two people to join your laboratory. Of course, if you choose others, they will also choose you. You have to show some real skills to attract others to join. "

Yes, not only do most associate professors have no independent laboratory, but most professors also have no independent laboratory. However, associate professors may work in the independent laboratory of associate academicians, while professors may work in the independent laboratory of academicians. In addition, there are always some professors and associate professors who wander away from the scientific research circle, and now they all open their eyes to see if they are lucky.

Yang Rui didn't have time to be shocked. He tried to calm down and asked, "can both professor and associate professor?"

"If you choose a professor, you should jointly set up an independent laboratory. Your project needs the satisfaction of the professor. If you choose an associate professor, you can either form an independent laboratory together, or he can assist you, depending on your project. " Professor Cai is obviously not a whim, but an early design.

At this time, we should not only fight for courage, but also fight for Yang Rui's accumulation. If he can get a "cell" level project, naturally some people are willing to condescend to lower their prices. If he can't get it out, he can at least do a few more potassium channel projects and write several papers in top journals.

As far as the level of scientific research in China is concerned, it is enough for an independent laboratory to publish a top-level journal in three to five years.

Yang Rui's own strength will also determine whether he really leads the laboratory, whether he is a puppet of the laboratory's leadership, or whether he becomes the mascot of the laboratory.In the conference room, people were talking and laughing.

Yang Rui's little heart "thumping" beating: This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
