After the legally binding procedure has been completed, the next step is to move on to the specific operation stage.

Before doing gene therapy, you need to buy back the necessary hardware and software.

Which supplier to find to buy hardware and software, Shen Qi put forward his suggestion: "Microrobots and microneedles, as well as supporting operating software, can be purchased on the market. The most well-known supplier in the world is ART in Germany, and Huahan Gene in China is also the first in Asia and the forefront in the world, which is trustworthy. My purchasing suggestion is to choose one of ART or Huahan Gene. If you have other suppliers, you can also recommend. ”

Everyone said: "Agree with Director Shen's two-choice procurement plan." ”

"Han Meng purchased 5 million yuan of basic instruments and equipment before, which saved our research group one or two million yuan, and also bought the best goods. This time the procurement of gene therapy hardware and software is still handled by Han Meng. Which hardware and software to buy, what specifications and models to buy, Han Meng, you have the final say, after all, you are the protagonist of this gene therapy experiment. The purchase amount this time is relatively large, in the procurement process, please be sure to pay attention to integrity discipline. That's all I have to say, let's go our separate ways. Shen Qi arranged the work of the biological laboratory, and the meeting was dismissed.

Three billion base pairs of human beings were sequenced as early as 2003, but so far, only 2% of the content encodes more than 20,000 genes of humans.

Just this 2% of the content coding can technically realize the editing and modification of thousands of disease-causing genes.

It would be a masterpiece if the remaining 98% of the unknown genetic material was encoded.

Coding is one thing, but post-coding controllability is another.

The 120 billion kilometers of human DNA circuits, the constantly dividing cells, and the speed of change at the molecular level far exceed the efficiency of human exploration.

What is the ultimate form of biology?

Shen Qi fell into deep thought.

The actual progress of the first phase of the research phase of the "Genetic Engineering Research Project" has exceeded the research scope originally set by Shen Qi.

The 11 million research funds issued by the National Natural Science Research Foundation are simply not enough, and the price of an A2 model microrobot produced by ART alone is as high as more than 3 million euros.

Together with the supporting microneedles, programming software, implantation modules and cell-targeting agents, the total price of a set of state-of-the-art gene therapy equipment and raw materials is more than 5 million euros.

The 100 million yuan scientific research sponsorship from the Shen Zhishan Foundation will be used for use first, and with the gradual development of the "Genetic Engineering Research Project", new funds within the budget will be applied for later.

The research budget of the Shen Qi Research Center this year is 900 million yuan, which is the highest among all departments of Yan University.

300 million in physics, 280 million in chemistry, 300 million in biology, and 20 million in mathematics, Shen Qi allocated it like this.

He only gave an annual research budget of 20 million yuan to his favorite mathematics.

The nature of the discipline is such that the most money-burning disciplines are physics and biology, and then chemistry.

Mathematics is thrifty and thrifty, and I am used to living a hard life.

"Boss Shen, the annual scientific research budget of our mathematics department this year is only 20 million, how is this enough?" Zhou Yu'an, the director of the mathematics room, couldn't sit still, and more than 20 mathematics researchers under his command were combined into 10 mathematics research groups, and each research group had an average scientific research budget of 2 million yuan this year.

The central physics room, buy a nanoscale processing equipment, 9 million US dollars.

The central chemistry room does phase II clinical research on chemical drugs, and this year's funding is 120 million yuan.

In the biology room of the center, except for Shen Qi, who is also the head of the room, the other five people are doctors who have escaped back to China, and they will spend 5 million euros to buy a set of bells and whistles that add up to less than a pound.

There is no harm without contrast.

Zhou Yu'an, who was doing basic theoretical research, and his brothers and sisters felt humble.

"There's no way, the center is poor, we have to tighten our belts to get through these few years. Shen Qi was also very helpless, the state gave his center a scientific research budget of 900 million yuan a year, and his center was only a department of Yan University, and 900 million yuan was higher than the annual scientific research budget of some 985 universities.

It can be said that the state has given the greatest support to Shen Qi Scientific Research Center, and the annual scientific research budget of one of his departments is higher than that of the entire university of Shandong University.

There is only one Shenqi Scientific Research Center in China that is such a wealthy university affiliated department.

But in the field of scientific research, scientists' desire to spend money can never be completely satisfied.

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in mathematics, without mathematics, how can there be physics and chemistry?" Zhou Yu'an is an extremely determined math warrior, and his original intention for mathematics has never changed. The scientific research fund of 20 million is really not much, and the 20 million is placed outside, and you can only buy a commercial house of more than 100 square meters in a better location in the capital.

"That's the truth, but Yu'an, I really can't squeeze out the money to add it to the math room. It is also not advisable to demolish the east wall and make up the west wall, not to mention that the cost of our psychological metaplasia section this year is also stretched. ”

"Boss Shen, our mathematics department only has a scientific research budget of 20 million this year, which is really not enough. I'll pull out the details with you, and you can see for yourself. The study of the principle of the local wholeness derived from the BSD conjecture has to be done, right? The drag coefficient model, this is a project in cooperation with the Ninth Academy, and it has to be done, right? The application of the NS equation in the electromagnetic cannon system, which is also a project in cooperation with the Ninth Academy, this is a political task, do we dare not do it? Do we dare to do it well? Also, the ...... of Hodge's conjecture.

“...... So Boss Shen, you touch your conscience and tell me, is 20 million enough?" Zhou Yu'an poked Shen Qi's heart.

"It's really not enough. Shen Qi shook his head and said, "Yu'an, go outside to solicit sponsorship, and raise your own funds." ”

"Where am I going to get sponsorship?"

"Shen Zhishan Foundation, you go to them. ”

"It's really embarrassing for your old Shen family, you subsidize China's scientific research with the strength of a family. Of course, Zhou Yu'an knew the relationship between Shen Zhishan and Shen Qi, and he asked: "How long can your father's business last if you don't ask for rewards for sponsoring scientific research and charity for a long time?"

"I believe it's a task: to make as much money as you can and honestly as you can, to make as much money as you can, and then to give it as much as you can. Shen Qi quoted a famous quote from the old Rockefeller, and said: "Yu'an, is it true that there is only money left between our brothers? You have come to me alone three times this month, all to ask for money." ”

Zhou Yu'an smiled: "In addition to money, there may only be wine left between us." ”

Shen Qi: "Let's drink tonight, just the two of us." ”

Zhou Yu'an asked rhetorically: "Is it interesting for two old men to drink alcohol?"

Shen Qi sighed and asked, "How many girls do you need me to arrange?"

"Obey Boss Shen's arrangement. ”

"Before arranging the girl, tell me first, to what extent do we have to study these scientific research projects in cooperation with the Ninth Academy? Experimental or actual combat? Local or global?"

"This is all a political task, what do you think, Boss Shen?"

"Then I understand, I'll arrange a few more chicks for you in the evening. ”
