At the end of the press conference, Yang Rui was surrounded as soon as he returned to the backstage.

President Liu asked: "Yang Rui, just now we said that we are going to do the second generation PCR. Have we got some results, or have we got some ideas, or have we just started?"

We are all engaged in scientific research, this sentence translation, is that you are ready to cash, or do half no money, or ready to cheat money?

Professor Cai also asked, "what level have you reached? Has the theory been completed yet? "

All of a sudden, Yang Rui was hugged, and all the people who asked questions were teachers. He didn't dare to squeeze them, so he had to stand obediently and answer in order: "at the beginning, theory is just a rudiment."

"Nothing, you dare to publicize it." Wu Hongbo tut tut twice, raised his thumb and said: "dare you know as much as I do."

To Wu Hongbo, Yang Rui didn't have to be as respectful as Professor Cai. He laughed twice and said, "at least I know the direction of the second generation PCR."

Wu Hongbo thought about it and admitted, "you win."

For top scholars, direction is much more difficult than method. In the field of scientific research, direction is basically the same as prediction. It's very easy to follow the direction of things like the first generation machine, the second generation machine, the fourth generation machine and so on. You can bring out any military fan who can talk about one afternoon, the first generation PCR, the second generation PCR, the third generation PCR and so on. You can find a student in the biology laboratory who can also talk about the fifth generation PCR. But what does the fifth generation PCR look like? How about the sixth generation machine? Several people can say for sure.

What will the future look like for the most familiar cars? Several of them have made it clear that by 2050, will cars be electric or biofuel? Or a methane battery? Can it fly? Can it become a circle? What is the proportion of solar energy, and what is the proportion of public transport and private transport? It seems that we can say this direction in a few words. But how much will it cost if we want to guess it correctly and predict it accurately?

There are many people who have been exposed to PCR, and the scholars present have more or less understood PCR, and some even made things with PCR, but it is too difficult to say the direction of the next generation of PCR.

In fact, Yang Rui said that if he did not check the information, he would not be able to complete his work.

PCR Technology will be the fastest developing technology in the next few years. It will not be achieved in one move from the first generation to the second generation. There are numerous intermediate and branching types. If you count them casually, reverse PCR, direct in situ PCR - not original, indirect in situ or in situ hybridization PCR - the original is too dirty. After so many kinds of reverse transcription PCR, it is generally recognized as the second generation PCR, Real time fluorescent quantitative PCR.

After real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, there are methylation PCR, overlap extension PCR, differential reverse transcription PCR and so on. I don't know how many scholars rely on PCR to do research all their lives. In the words of working people, it is a struggle that countless people devote their whole lives to PCR research, forgetting to eat and sleep, and even caring for their wives and children, So many kinds of PCR.

For Yang Rui, it's not difficult for him to copy one or more, but for Wu Hongbo, it's very difficult to do one.

It is more difficult to determine the most promising research direction.

It's also real-time quantitative PCR. There are more than one group of people doing it, and the direction of each group can't be said to be all the same. The team that finally stands out should at least have an advantage in the prediction of small directions, and do it fast enough.

A good research direction is not necessarily a fast research direction, and a fast research direction is not necessarily a research direction that can meet the minimum demand. There is no simple solution to all kinds of complicated games.

Of course, scientific research competitions have never been easy.

Professor Cai stares at Yang Rui and asks, "have you determined the research direction of the new generation PCR?"

Yang Rui thought about it and said, "the real second generation PCR can't be done. It's always no problem to move forward. DOE hasn't standardized the technical requirements of the second generation PCR, so we'll do it first."

"Any ideas? How long will it take? "

"Professor Cai, Americans don't ask for time. Instead, you ask for it," Yang said

"It's no joke. DOE is the U.S. Department of energy, right? This is tantamount to cooperation with provincial and ministerial units in the United States. Do you know how our country defines high-level cooperation? Provincial and ministerial level and above is high-level cooperation, which requires the approval of the state. You have to act first and then play. Of course, you can't say wrong. Our country doesn't prohibit it after all, but you have to make it clear. If you lose someone, I can't protect you. " Professor Cai is very serious.

Wu Hongbo nodded and said, "Yang Rui, Lao Cai is right. In the news broadcast, the first step is to start high-level cooperation with which country has a good relationship, and stop high-level dialogue with which country has a bad relationship. Therefore, the political significance of this ministerial level project is very strong, although we are all engaged in scientific research, But not caring about politics. "Yang Rui was helpless and said, "DOE is the U.S. Department of energy. It's good. I don't represent China's ministries and commissions. Dialogue must be a matter of two people. High level dialogue is also a dialogue of two high levels. Our country can't cut off high-level dialogue. It's illegal for me to sell tea eggs in front of the U.S. Capitol Hill."

"Can PCR be compared with tea egg?"

"I think it's the same. From the perspective of the country, it's all the same." Yang Rui forced to break back.

How could several people be fooled so easily? Qi Qi shook his head and said, "no, no, not only need to explain, but also need to explain quickly. In this way, let Lao Wu call the Chinese Academy of Sciences first. The Chinese Academy of Sciences should be responsible for this."

"I'll call the leader, too." Professor Cai said very seriously.

"Don't fight here. Look for the embassy. Secure lines. " Shen Xingde whispered a reminder.

"Right... Right..." a few people inexplicably lowered their voice.

Yang Rui wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to smile. After a while, he said, "isn't the subject of this matter Huarui company? Hua Rui company belongs to Hong Kong. "

Professor Cai gave him a sharp look and said, "the most famous scientist of Huarui company is you. The laboratory is also in China. What's the meaning of Hong Kong? Hong Kong is also China's. We can't be clever in this matter. We must inform the organization. As for the organization's arrangement, whether it is in the name of Huarui Hong Kong company or in any other name should be decided by the organization. "

"All right." When Yang Rui thought about it, it seemed that it was indeed safer, so he would not argue any more.

Anyway, for him, it doesn't matter who does the follow-up study of PCR. It looks simple, but it's not easy for you to make it stable, reliable and accurate. If you can't do it well, it will be possible for three or five years.

In the history that Yang Rui is familiar with, the second generation of real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was developed in 1995. Although the PCR technology has been developed by Yang Rui about two years in advance, and the practical first generation PCR instrument has been developed about five years in advance, it does not mean that the second generation PCR instrument can be developed five years in advance. After all, the development of other related technologies has not been advanced, The so-called real-time and quantitative demand of the second generation PCR instrument is not so urgent at present.

Before that, Yang Rui couldn't do so much branch technology and intermediate technology. If someone wants to do it, Yang Rui is more than happy.

In comparison, Yang Rui's PCR is more like hardware. Other original or miscellaneous PCR is just like app relying on hardware. As long as it's done, it's good for Yang Rui.

It's natural for Yang Rui to participate in the follow-up development of PCR technology through darbeck. As for other ideas in China, there should be ways to do it.

As long as Yang Rui doesn't want to, he has the confidence to let anyone and the country's PCR investment drift away.

It's just another competition in scientific research.

Of course, the best possibility is that Yang Rui will do it in China. After all, it's his cooperation with the US Department of energy. If China wants to get back together again, it probably won't have the energy.

However, at this time, it was still a major event in the scientific research field. Professor Cai and others could not help but flocked Yang Rui back to the embassy.
