Chapter 153: Professor Zhao's Joining

Professor Edward of Stanford University and his entourage have left after completing most of the octopus monster's physics experiments two days ago.

A professor from the University of Queensland and a group of graduate students traveled to Papeete to work on the production of the specimen of the octopus monster, leaving the entire institute with their own people.

"This is Professor Mooro, the deputy director of the Institute of Oceanography of the University of the Pacific in France. Mo Fan introduced the staff of the institute to Professor Zhao: "This is Professor Antonic, who is the associate dean of Harvard Medical School, has retired, and first served as the vice president of the Xinghai Research Institute. Professor Crow is from the University of Melbourne and is the Head of the Bioengineering Project at our Institute...... There are also several professors who work outside. Mo Fan introduced one by one: "The person next to me from the School of Archaeology and Museums of Peking University, Professor Zhao, is also my grandfather. ”

Professor Zhao made waves in his heart, and the surface was still average. The strength of the Xinghai Research Institute is very strong, especially Professor Antonic, the deputy dean of Harvard University School of Medicine, Professor Zhao has heard this name more than once.

"Hello Professor Zhao. Professor Mooro held out his hand enthusiastically, speaking Mandarin that he was not very fluent in.

"Hello Professor Mooro. ”

Professor Antonik, Professor Crow, they also came to shake hands with Professor Zhao, and they all spoke Chinese.

Professor Zhao was excited in his heart, he really didn't expect Mo Fan to gather a group of world-class talents.

"We have 11 full-time professors and 22 interns, all of whom are from the world's top universities. In addition, we have cooperated with 27 prestigious universities in the world, including Provincial Polytechnic University, California Berkeley, Stanford, University of Toronto, University of Copenhagen, University of Queensland, University of the Pacific and so on. ”

"Are there any famous schools in China?" Professor Zhao said.

"Not yet. If you'd like to help with matchmaking, we'd love to work with more researchers from the faculty. Accompanied by three professors, Mooro, Antonic and Crow, Mo Fan took Professor Zhao to visit the institute: "Except for a small part of our research institute in the commercial field, most of them belong to public welfare projects. The research of public welfare projects is the sharing ...... of research results"

For the time being, only the Black Lipped Oyster Farming Project is being conducted. Marine ecological research and bioengineering projects, of which bioengineering projects are still in the early stage, mainly enzyme engineering and fermentation engineering, which are large projects, and the specific role is not detailed, Professor Zhao has heard it speciously.

"Mo, the preparations for this trip to sea will probably be completed in the middle and late months, and the equipment and instruments we ordered have not yet been shipped. In addition, Professor Matt wants me to ask you, which part of the funding of the institute should be applied to?" Professor Antonic said embarrassedly, he was responsible for the preparatory work for this expedition, and the lack of funds was a big deal.

"I will pay for all the expenses of the institute. Mo Fan said that he called the Papeete branch of the Phipps Investment Bank and asked him to transfer $10 million to the account of the research institute, and said, "Is there any more problem?"

"The specimen of the octopus monster has only been made by one-fifth until now. The Ringira commune is already planning an octopus monster exhibit, what do you mean?"

"These Kanes are in charge. The construction of the Lunjira Atoll can drive the economy, and the exhibition hall is responsible for the fees of the Institute, and all profits are placed in the account of the Institute. As I said to Professor Matt, if you are interested, you can also participate in the design and construction of the Octopus Monster Exhibit Hall. ”

"That's good, the exhibition hall is completed, and the institute can be regarded as a regular income. ”

Mo Fan smiled: "The research institute can't just rely on my personal appropriation to find a way to get something valuable. With more money, you'll be able to work on projects that interest you. ”

"Value!" Antonic touched his chin and stubble, "A few months ago we found an ancient seaweed in the sea near the island, which is rich in nutrients, edible and delicious. We have observed for a period of time that some of them are eaten by fish, some of them die of natural causes, and only a very small part of them exist in the culture tanks of the laboratory, and we are looking at artificial farming, which, if successful, can bring great economic value. ”

Professor Antonic was talking about the seaweed that Mo Fan transplanted from space.

"How sure are you?"

"Grasp ...... Not too. This is a new class of species that, according to DNA genetic analysis, is the ancestor of most of the existing seaweed plants. It's like the relationship between dinosaurs and chickens......"

"Let's go on. ”

Mo Fan was about to leave, and Antonic said: "The purpose of this trip to sea is mainly to find Black Rock Island, and then to observe the Antarctic seas?"

"Record some data on the Antarctic continent and glaciers. If you have a topic that interests you, you can also study it as a sightseeing tour. ”

"That's right, I discussed this trip with a few students before, and they all expressed interest and were willing to travel at their own expense, what do you mean?"

"The Xinghai's own expense is not cheap. Mo Fan shook his head: "The main purpose of this trip to sea is to find Black Rock Island, which may be delayed for a long time, and it is inconvenient to bring outsiders." If you want to go to the South Pole for an adventure, there will be opportunities in the future, and if your students want to go to the South Pole for an adventure, next year, Xinghai will only charge the necessary cost for scientific researchers......"

"Good. Anthony thought about it and nodded, looking for Blackstone Island aimlessly, I don't know how much time it will take, it is really inconvenient to bring other people: "Can I bring my family? ”

"Of course, you don't have to pay for room and board. ”

As Mo Fan said, the Xinghai's own expense is indeed not cheap.

Bidding farewell to the professors, Mo Fan went to the port of Maka Island and returned to Tikhao Atoll with Lucky and Seven's walking puppy.

On the plane, Professor Zhao was silent, and he was itching to hear Mo Fan and several professors talking about the future plan to go to sea. See unseen landscapes, discover the unknown, and explore puzzles...... Professor Zhao is a professor of archaeology with a strong intellectual curiosity and adventurous spirit, and if you participate in an adventure with a group of professors who are very accomplished in different fields, you can not only enrich your knowledge, but also leave an extraordinary memory, and such an opportunity is not rare.

After returning from Makatea, Professor Zhao wanted to quit his archaeological work and participate in Mo Fan's adventure.

The helicopter stopped outside the courtyard, and Mo Fan helped the professor down: "Professor, we have a professor of bioengineering, a professor of marine biology, a professor of environmental science, etc., and we are missing an archaeology professor." Can you come over and help?"

"I think about it. ”

Professor Zhao thought about it for a while, and it didn't take long for him to agree. He is a resolute person, and he will return to China the next day, report to the school leaders, and bring two assistants over.
