"Where on earth has Yang Rui gone? He is disorganized and undisciplined... Professor Cai, Yang Rui is a student of Peking University. He has disappeared for a week. Is that ok?" When Yang Rui was missing for a week, Zhang Leshan still hoped to find him through Professor Cai or Peking University.

Professor Cai ha da.

Two weeks after Yang Rui's disappearance, Zhang Leshan's attitude changed rapidly. When he mobilized his colleagues, relatives and friends to search all over Beijing, he went to see Professor Cai in a low voice: "Yang Rui is a missing person like this. No matter what he thinks, he has to stand up and say that he can't hide from anyone. "

Professor Cai ha da.

Three weeks after Yang Rui's disappearance, not only Zhang Leshan but also the five newly established project teams of the Chinese Academy of Sciences fell into a state of fury.

They are looking for Yang Rui in the deionization channel laboratory.

They went to Huarui laboratory to look for Yang Rui.

They went to the dormitory to look for Yang Rui.

You can't find it anywhere.

Anger cannot last long.

In February, everyone lost their temper.

Even Zhang Leshan, who was most reluctant to admit it, fully understood that Yang Rui was really missing.

As Zhang Leshan thought, Yang Rui can't resist the leaders' decision. If he does that, what is reasonable will become unreasonable.

However, Yang Rui is not as obedient or submissive as Zhang Leshan imagined.

You can't talk about politics, persuasion and education to the missing people, and take turns to fight.

If other scholars are missing, Zhang Leshan does not blink.

Without butcher Zhang, it's hard not to be successful, but to eat a pig with hair.

But on the question of PCR, Zhang Leshan's terrible discovery is that it's not just a matter of eating hair, it's almost a problem.

This kind of feeling, is like you happily asked for a plate of nine turn colon, sent up is not washed nine night colon.

"What should I do? Can't I find Yang Rui?" President Cha, who presided over the meeting, looked at the next group of frustrated scholars and said, "I just can't find a Yang Rui. How about it?"

"Director Cha, our project team burns thousands of pieces every day. I can stick to it, but I can't stick to the funding. " Director Yang of the PCR group has a good qualification. President Cha has been away from the front line for a long time. For PCR, he only paid attention to the political factors such as Sino US relations. He didn't hear the technical report made by the following people. At this time, he frowned and said, "what's the relationship between funds and Yang Rui?"

Director Yang grinned to himself and said, "as far as we know, Yang Rui has done almost everything. We will do it again, and the funds will be more than what we have now."

When he said that, several scholars present would blush.

It's more than Yang Rui's work. People have already done it. OK.

In fact, if it wasn't for PCR, who knows there is such a saying about heat-resistant polymerase, no one would do this research at all.

However, you can't say that director Yang's words are complete nonsense. There is no limit to the concept of heat resistance. For polymerase, 60 degrees is heat resistance, 90 degrees is heat resistance, and 900 degrees is heat resistance. Therefore, the heat-resistant polymerase made by Yang Rui is not the limit. Director Yang can still say that he is almost done.

Of course, as for what kind of work director Yang is going to do and whether it is the same as Yang Rui's, that's two different things.

In this regard, President Cha was clear-cut and knew what director Yang was up to. He said noncommittally, "since we are not ready to do it again, we can't save some money now?"

"Some of the previous studies still have to continue. In addition, the laboratory can't be empty like this." What director Yang said is half true and half false. It's a tedious process to make heat-resistant polymerase, so Yang Rui makes heat-resistant polymerase half a year in advance, and then PCR. Therefore, even if director Yang is ready to copy Yang Rui completely, he has to make all the preparations. Otherwise, it's hard to make bricks without straw. He's also worried that Yang Rui will waste his time and fail to produce results.

Of course, the most important thing is that director Yang and his staff all need to publish articles. They can't help getting a new laboratory. Who can resist not doing experiments?

Grab Yang Rui's project, isn't it for the purpose of publishing articles and making achievements? All of these have to go through experiments.

Even if you want to earn some money to go home, you also have to pass the experiment.

You have to consume 1000 yuan of materials to take 500 yuan home. Otherwise, if you take money home directly, you will not be a embezzler.In the past month, director Yang is not without a bite, shouting "let's do it ourselves" glorious moment, but unfortunately, that is his most brilliant moment.

After reading the literature for a week, director Yang completely understood that starting from scratch is not supported by hundreds of thousands of funds.

Yang Rui's efficiency and expenditure in that year were beyond our expectation.

Therefore, director Yang insisted for a week and gave up.

This also makes him see the strength of his own family, and he is more urgent to find Yang Rui.

Zhang Leshan and others are similar.

A lab is like a factory. It costs money from the moment it opens the door.

If you work, its cost will flow away like water. If you don't work, its cost will also flow away like water. Not to mention the depreciation of equipment and instruments, manpower expenditure and personal desire, that is to say, some reagents and reagents have a shelf life. The shelf life of some medicines and reagents with a short time may be only a few days, and some medicines and reagents with a long time may be several months or even years, However, the domestic logistics and storage and consumption situation in the 1980s is not like that of later generations. It is not uncommon for drugs with a shelf life of one year to get them and the remaining three months.

If the cost of domestic reagents is still well controlled, a batch of foreign reagents purchased by Zhang Leshan and others are even worse. In order to seize the schedule and time, and strive for the next batch of funds, the five experimental groups all ordered the relevant reagent products in advance. After all, it takes a while to send them from abroad, Some special reagents need to be ordered in advance to arrange production. It's very unreliable to expect the laboratory to make all the reagents by itself, because the types of reagents needed for modern scientific research are greatly increased, and the amount of reagents used varies. Coupled with the increasingly high purity requirements, it's impossible for the underage researchers in the laboratory to do all the reagents, and the adult researchers can't do that either, Besides, it's a waste of time.

Most of the scientific research institutions will make some commonly used scientific research reagents, but most of the reagents are like mice. You can buy them when you use them, and don't raise them when you don't use them.

However, many of the reagents and products needed for PCR research are relatively small. Now, Yang Rui can't find them. The success rate of doing research alone is too low. These reagents and products can't be returned or replaced, which has become a sunk cost. It's heartbreaking.

Although President Cha has long been far away from the front line of scientific research, he has never been far away from finance. At this time, hearing a few people call him poor, he immediately felt a sense of crisis and asked, "how much money have you spent now? Lao Yang, say it first. "

Director Yang hesitated for a moment and said: "80000... But mainly bought reagents and so on."

"One hundred and ten thousand. It's about buying materials."

"We bought some new machines, water bath pans or something. It's not very expensive. It's 160000 yuan."

"Sixty thousand." The oldest old Li is the most calm.

Zhang Leshan and other people have finished, then carefully said: "I used 30000, and another 2000 dollars to buy materials."

President Cha's eyes came over: "I remember that I allocated 2000 dollars to each person, and you spent it all? What's your total outlay? "

"That's two thousand dollars." Zhang Leshan giggled twice.

"What about RMB?"

"30000..."

"All spent?" President Cha's tone didn't fluctuate much, but he was still very powerful.

Zhang Leshan lowered his head and said, "there are only a few instruments and equipment allocated to the ion channel Laboratory of Peking University. We have to buy the materials ourselves. If we don't pay for them, we can't make them move."

President Cha snorted, "well," and asked, "how much more money do you expect to spend next?"

Several people look at each other, or Lao Yang whispered: "it's estimated that it will cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"In all?"

"A week."

President Cha's face couldn't help pumping twice.

Director Yang is also helpless way: "early input so much, now stop, before spending all the money wasted."

"How long will it take to see the results?"

"President Cha, it's not just a month." Director Yang called.

Several others were also in chorus.

"A month is not short." President Cha hummed twice and said, "you told me that you could replicate PCR in half a year and see the second generation in a year."

Half a year's PCR replication was very abundant before Zhang Leshan and others, because it took Yang Rui half a year to make PCR. It's rumored that he didn't even use it for half a year.It takes half a year to invent PCR. How long can it take to study replication PCR?

So, before Yang Rui disappeared, several people were full of confidence.

However, Yang Rui is missing after all, let them do it by themselves... After this month's experiment, several people know how unreliable it is.

"Why don't you talk?" President Cha's voice rose. His expression was calm, which did not mean that he was not angry.

Other things are easy to say, but the expenditure is real.

Spending alone is not effective. Who can bear this kind of thing.

"Dean Cha, you have to find Yang Rui first." Zhang Leshan has the deepest experience of this.

"Peking University said it couldn't find it, we called the police, and then what?" President Cha's insipid response.

Zhang Leshan gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Rui doesn't cooperate with the national work. I think Peking University can punish him for studying abroad. I don't believe he won't appear."

President Cha hesitated for a while and said, "this is for the time being."

He thinks it is difficult to carry out this matter.

Yang Rui is a scholar who can make Nobel Prize achievements. Although the academic department is excellent, it can redistribute domestic research tasks, but it can not directly guide the school to do anything.

If it's an ordinary local college, President Cha is confident that he can fire any student he wants. He doesn't even need to bully. Inducement is enough for local colleges to give up this invisible future.

Peking University and Tsinghua University are the few schools that can stand up in China. Moreover, unlike local universities, Peking University and Tsinghua University are both ambitious and want to show their face on the world stage. In this case, let them fire Yang Rui who can speak and sing, and think about how difficult it is.

After all, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is different from the past. The strength of the former Chinese Academy of Sciences depends on the number of units under it. In particular, the brand of China University of science and technology, which was built from scratch, once became the best scoring school in China. Academically, there are many academicians and professors, Its political influence comes from the influence of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, since the mid-1980s, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has become an unpopular member of the Communist Party of China, and its authority is naturally easy to be questioned.

If President Cha wants to expel Yang Rui, he needs the strength of coercion and inducement, which may be more difficult than hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"I can't. I have another suggestion." Zhang Leshan also knows that this is more difficult, so he has long been ready to take the second step.

President Cha raised his head.

"Huarui laboratory is the laboratory under Yang Rui and the private laboratory of Hong Kong Huarui company. I think Huarui laboratory can be a breakthrough." Zhang Leshan looked at director Yang and said, "as far as I know, heat-resistant polymerase was completed by Yang Rui in Huarui laboratory. In fact, the whole PCR research was completed by Yang Rui in Huarui laboratory."

"Isn't it true that Yang Rui invented PCR independently in the laboratory?" President Cha doesn't know nothing. There is a big difference between independent work and collective work.

Zhang Leshan nodded and said, "the main work was really carried out by Yang Rui alone. It is said that Huarui laboratory had several projects at that time. However, I don't believe that people in Huarui laboratory know nothing, let alone... "

He took out a journal and said, "here, in a paper published by Yang Rui and Huang Mao, there are signatures. Huang Mao is a researcher in Huarui laboratory. He was a teacher in Peking University before, and I have met him. "

"OK, go and find Huang Mao, and then go to Huarui laboratory to have a look." President Cha thought about it and said, "let Lao Zhang accompany you. He's familiar with the land. Don't be reckless."

Lao Zhang is Zhang tugai of the security office. He was born in 51. When the land reform happened, six people in his family were assigned 18 mu of land, including his younger son who was less than one year old. He had three mu of land under his name. When his father was happy and registered, he named his younger son land reform.

In the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a place where intellectuals gather, the name of Zhang tugi is still very eye-catching. Fortunately, Comrade Zhang tugi has the uprightness to match his name. Instead of being excluded, he has been valued by the leaders.

The leaders who came from intellectuals didn't pay attention to the security office. Therefore, when the name of Zhang tugai spread, when they mentioned the security office, they first thought of Zhang tugai's name.

In this way, Zhang Tu Gai has almost become the first choice for leaders to send out to handle affairs. He comes and goes, and is stunned by experience.

Zhang Leshan also knew Zhang tugai, agreed, called director Yang and others, and went straight to the security office to invite someone.One pondered how to ask others, the other pondered how to find information. They were both excited.

Even Comrade Zhang did not take this task too seriously.

He saw too much in the laboratory, and how strange it could be.

Zhang tugai, who had learned how to drive in the army, wanted to get a jeep. Like an American soldier, he tied his coat tightly and drove to Huarui laboratory quickly. Until he saw the police room in front of Huarui laboratory, he just wagged his tail and stopped at the door.

"These people in Hong Kong dare to use the public security paint at will." Zhang land reform looked at the paint outside the police office and shook his head.
