Chapter 721: Relieved
"Everybody is here. www.biquge.info Half an hour later, Yang Rui walked out of the laboratory, greeted old friends with a cordial attitude, sat behind the chairman's table covered with a white tablecloth, and chatted with a few reporters in the front row.
He's been interviewed a lot of times, so he's got to know a lot of journalists.
The reporters were stunned, they had actually seen the press conference or something, but it was really uncommon for people like Yang Rui to not sit at the chairman's table and walk peacefully.
What will North Korean TV announcers look like 30 years later, and what will China-style news interviews look like in '84.
It's okay to be humble before the interview, but it's rare to use this attitude during the interview.
However, the ability of people to adapt to the environment is too strong.
A few minutes later, unfamiliar reporters were able to chat with Yang Rui.
Someone else took the opportunity to pull out the previous question: "Yang Rui, they all say that you are now the director of the ion channel laboratory, are you now a teacher at Peking University? Are you about to graduate early?"
Early graduation is not uncommon in 84 years, a more frequent word is "grade skipping", that is, the first year of high school students do not study the second year of high school, directly read the third year of high school, or the third year students do not study the fourth grade, directly read the fifth or even sixth grade, the junior class of the University of Science and Technology can be regarded as a high-end version of the skipping grade. Compared with the institutionalization of educational requirements in later generations, in the 80s and 90s, the education system was actually relatively flexible, and individual schools and grassroots education bureaus had great decision-making power.
After that, they become bureaus, which can only implement the policies above, and do not have much dominance.
Although skipping grades and graduating early are so common, Peking University's every move is still huge, as if a student from Peking University sells pork, and the society should discuss it, as if Peking University should educate Peking University students according to the will of the public who have not studied at Peking University.
If Yang Rui graduated early and became a teacher at Peking University, some of the reporters present may understand, but they also believe that this is very newsworthy.
Yang Rui still did not adopt a high-sounding attitude, but walked out from behind the white tablecloth, pulled a reagent bucket over and sat down, and said with a smile: "Director or person in charge, it's just a title, I don't have the intention of ending the course in advance for the time being, and the school has not discussed it." ”
"In other words, the school doesn't allow you to finish early?" The reporter is a master of grasping points, and in the blink of an eye, he was arrested again.
Yang Rui smiled: "There is no discussion, how to talk about what is allowed and not allowed, don't be so serious, sit down and sit down, let's chat now, and when you don't want to chat, ask questions one by one." ”
Journalists are also reluctant to ask questions one by one, which is not only troublesome, but also cannot ask a question in depth and continuously.
The reporter who grabbed the point hesitated, had to sit down, and the aggressive momentum was gone.
"Our ion channel laboratory is actually a laboratory of Peking University, in addition to the laboratory where experiments are done, it is also a laboratory of experimental laboratories, so there is no need to talk about the level or anything on this issue......
Yang Rui said a lot, but as for the core answer that the reporters wanted to know, he passed it vaguely, and at the same time, he seized a gap and said with a smile: "I asked you to come over today, in fact, I still want to announce one thing." ”
The crowd was seated.
"Don't be too nervous, I'm just going to set up a special scientific research group to do research on the human genome map, this project, the Americans have already carried it out, we are a little behind, but not much, about a few months and a year, but in this project, we don't actually need to emphasize the competition with the Americans, because this is a meaningful plan for all mankind." Yang Rui said a rough description of the human genome project, and said: "Although it cannot be said that we will be able to see the direct results of the human genome project in ten or twenty years, but in our lifetime, gene drugs will definitely be able to see, and at that time, the treatment of diseases may no longer be simply based on the symptoms of the disease to improve, but may be based on different genes to treat ......."
"All in all, whether it is an Asian or a Chinese, we need to understand our own genetic makeup, and know that our genes are different from those of other races, which is not only for the needs of science, but also for the needs of the development of medicine and other aspects......" Yang Rui's speech was not short, so he thoughtfully asked people to print the speech for everyone.
Compared with the question of level and compilation, the proposition of the human genome is a bit too obscure.
After a while, someone asked, "This plan should be expensive, right?"
"It's a lot of money, but it's a necessary research, and it's very important that we can derive and develop a lot of related technologies through the study of human genome mapping. "This is a purposeful research work, similar to the Apollo moon landing program in the United States, the study of the human genome project has also greatly improved the development of biology.
"Where are you going to raise these funds from?"
"I'll find a way to apply for state funding. ”
"How much money do you plan to raise?"
"I think an initial start-up capital of 20 million yuan is enough. As soon as Yang Rui's words fell, the reporters below became chaotic.
20 million is not a small number.
If we make a comparison, by 85 years, China's military expenditure will be 19.1 billion yuan, and it will have to raise 4 million soldiers, and scientific research institutes will be even more pitiful.
Of course, the investment in infrastructure is still not small, and 20 million yuan is idle to build railways, highways or buildings.
However, compared to infrastructure, can the Human Genome Project, which sounds very powerful, but actually has no idea what it is, to have an immediate effect?
A reporter immediately asked: "Maybe in the long run, the social significance of this money is great, but in the short term, this money is pure investment, so is it necessary to do such a project now?"
"Some opportunities, if you lose them and buy them back, it will become more expensive, and 20 million yuan to buy a ticket for the Human Genome Project is actually not expensive. Yang Rui paused as he spoke, and then said: "I don't want a new budget, I just hope to be able to fight for some share in the allocation of scientific research funds." ”
Yang Rui is still the style of the dead friend who does not die and the poor way, but this is the way he does scientific research, compared with the projects of many scientific researchers, Yang Rui's projects are more competitive, so he should naturally take more money.
Even if someone is forced to leave his beloved scientific research industry because of this, Yang Rui doesn't care.
Scientific research is not a place for you to love, and if you can't survive even if you try your best, don't waste state funds.
Yang Rui's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and with his handsomeness, it attracted countless shutter clicks.
"Tomorrow's newspaper finally has something to write. Some reporters were relieved.
"I hope there will be a researcher who will bend his waist for 20 million. Yang Rui felt relieved.
