Six months ago, the urban heat island effect made New York as hot as a steamer in the middle of summer, but Cao Yumin, who came to attend the academic conference with his mentor, was in a very good mood, and this time he will have the opportunity to get close to many legendary academic masters, and maybe he will be favored by someone and pulled into the top research center.

"This is my disciple Richard Cao, a very talented young man. Hong Myung-phu is the director of the clinical trial center at Seoul National University Hospital and the vice dean of the Seoul National University School of Medicine. He was invited to participate in the academic exchange conference this time, and by the way, he met old friends and sponsored him.

Most of the so-called academic exchange meetings of doctors are made by drug agents or medical equipment agents to please people, but the exchange meetings of researchers are really exchange meetings. This time, the organizer is Teradyne, a large group that seems to have nothing to do with medical care, but has always been quite ambitious in this field.

Everyone was not interested in caring what the company produced and sold, but they knew that they were willing to pay money to sponsor the research center to carry out projects, so they gathered around like hungry hyenas. The medical field, like the military field, has been using the most cutting-edge technology, and it has been burning real money, even if there are many local financiers in the South Peninsula standing behind Seoul National University, they will not let go of any opportunity to fund it.

"I've read this kid's paper, and he has a lot of ideas and ideas. This kind of big and broad statement proves that Hall Adams has never read Cao Yumin's paper at all, as a professor at Taft University and the leader of several projects, how could he be interested in learning about what a doctoral student in a small country is studying, and even Hong Mingpu is just a second-rate commodity in his eyes, "Your research is excellent." ”

"That's right, we have made a breakthrough in the field of animal refrigeration, from ......" perhaps feeling the other party's contemptuous gaze, Hong Mingpu's ridiculous and pathetic self-esteem of the people of the South Peninsula attacked, and he had to find some evidence to prove that he was excellent, so that he leaked the research results to the outside world without words.

"Teacher!" Even if the other party is his mentor and the director of the center, Cao Yumin still had to interrupt Hong Mingpu's words, the most taboo in conducting research is that his research results are known to outsiders, not to mention the specific content, and even the research progress cannot be leaked.

Hong Mingpu shook his head stupidly, he also knew that he had almost lost his words, in case the leaders of the country knew that he was talking big outside and casually told his peers about his research results, it would be light to be imprisoned, but not only would he not thank his disciple, but he frowned in disgust, feeling that he had been lost, "In short, the prospect is quite good." ”

Live Hall Adams raised his eyebrows, animal cryonics technology is the precursor to cryonics technology, if the research center of Seoul National University Hospital can really produce results in this field, then even if the door is locked, someone will definitely cross the ocean to smash their door and force the money through. I don't know how many old and frail rich people in this world are looking forward to freezing their bodies, and then thawing and resuscitating one day in the future, enjoying more developed and advanced medical treatment, so as to prolong their lives and even live forever.

Human cryonics is naturally not stuffed into the refrigerator, so it will definitely be frozen to death directly, and the current medical community has two plans for the topic of "maintaining activity", one is to make sustained-release agents to break through the life and death boundary of minus 100 degrees, and the other is to genetically program the human body to overcome the death range.

The research center of Seoul National University Hospital is engaged in two sets of programs, and Cao Yumin specializes in genetic programming, and has already achieved phased results in reptiles. Originally, as long as this kind of thing was made public, financial support would fly like snowflakes, but Seoul National University did not dare to do that, because genetic modification of humans involves ethical issues, and the reputation of the entire university will be implicated if one is not careful, so it will hide it and rely on private contact with rich people to run for funds.

After an unpleasant exchange meeting, Cao Yumin was thrown aside, and the tutor who was in a bad mood did not introduce him to those academic masters, so that he could only drink wine and eat cheese alone in boredom. He didn't notice that there was someone in the crowd watching him all the time, just sighing and feeling sorry for himself.

After returning to Seoul, the trip to New York was like it had never happened, and Cho Yumin resumed his life of studying dogs, and his life was tight but fulfilling. However, a phone call from Hong Mingpu ruined his normal heart, and the old man actually asked him to pay the research fee that had just arrived.

In fact, similar things are common all over the world, but the professors in Japan and South Korea have gone a little too far, and the professors will initially send the research fees to each researcher at the beginning of the school, but after two days they will ask their disciples to "return" the money to them.

According to the logic of the professors, they ran the money down, and of course it was a matter of course to return it to them, and they were more capable and experienced, and could better use the money for research. As for why you want to go through the hands of the students first, it is nothing more than to deal with the inspection of the school and the collection of the tax department.

In other words, Cao Yumin endured it, after all, he had been accustomed to these operations over the years as a scientific research dog, but he had just found out that on one of his papers, the first author was changed to the professor's name, and the second author became the name of a junior who had never even seen him, and he, the real author who conducted experiments, summarized data, sorted out materials, and wrote papers, was actually squeezed into the position of the third author.

The medical profession in the Southern Peninsula is highly hierarchical and factional, and he can't get ahead on his own, let alone be ruined, and Cao Yumin, whose future is in the hands of the professor, can only choose to swallow his anger, but the last bit of gratitude in his heart for his mentor has also been replaced by hatred.

Cao Yumin, who was suffering from pain, suddenly received a phone call from New York, and a private research institute actually issued him an offer, although he signed a research confidentiality contract with the medical center of Seoul National University Hospital, his employment contract with the center's researcher was about to expire.

The medical industry is the only industry in the United States that has a non-compete clause, and after he leaves, he will not be bound by the clause that "the employee shall not participate in the work of the original employer that creates competition for a certain number of years after the termination of the employment relationship".

"Richard, welcome back to New York, my name is Louis Lyons, my friends call me a doctor, you can call me that. The man who picked up the airport smiled and stretched out his hand.
