Chapter 1358: People are dying, and their words are good
In front of the TV, Lao Fang and Ge Xingbang were shoulder to shoulder, crotch to crotch, looking like an oil painting torn up by Picasso. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lao Fang's mouth was small and open, and the folded version of the cherry mouth floated in the air as if it could swallow an egg. Ge Xingbang's mouth is long and wide, and the wrinkled version of the blood basin mouth seems to be able to swallow a lump of cow dung, and the cheeks of people who look at it hurt.
According to the news sent by our reporter from Stockholm, Yang Rui's award stems from the polymerase chain reaction technology he invented two years ago. The English abbreviation of polymerase chain reaction technology is PCR, which is a technology used to amplify deoxyribonucleic acid. With this method, it only takes two hours to amplify DNA, or DNA, 106-fold. In this way, various disciplines such as clinical medicine, forensic identification, paleontological analysis and bioengineering will greatly improve efficiency...... "The host's voice is the only voice in the dining room."
Some people are happy, some are lost, some are confused, some are happy, and many more are on the border between shock and disbelief and are reshaping their worldview and outlook on life.
What Lao Fang and Ge Xingbang, as well as their disciples and grandchildren, think, no one cares at all at this time.
A new era has dawned, and even the most sensitive scholars have realized this.
What's more, the scholars who will come to this biological promotion association are all extremely sensitive guys.
Everyone now has a great understanding of Yang Rui's mood when he put forward two-thirds of the funding requirements. Two-thirds of the funding requirements only exist in the state of not winning the Nobel Prize, once Yang Rui wins the Nobel Prize, he wants to change the allocation of funds, isn't it a matter of one sentence?
Can the Funding Committee of the Ministry of Health, the Funding Committee of the Ministry of Education, the Funding Committee of the 863 Program, and even the Department of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences really stand up to the group formed by Yang Rui, Professor Cai, and Wu Hongbo?
The Department of Biology of Peking University, helmed by Professor Cai, and the Institute of Genetics and Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, represented by Wu Hongbo, are already strong enough.
Yang Rui originally asked for two-thirds of the funds, not for himself, he actually wanted two-thirds of the right to allocate funds, in addition to the part for his own use, he was also responsible for fighting for funds for the people around him, and most importantly, he needed to fight for funds for the direction he was optimistic about.
This is actually a very international behavior, just like the war between the wave theory of light and the particle theory of light, the funds in the hands of the wave faction will obviously only be given to the scholars of the wave faction, so that they can use the funds to prove that the truth of the universe of the wave faction is immutable, not the other way around.
It is naΓ―ve to think that academic disputes exist only in academics, because scholarship does not only exist in academics, but also in terms of funding and the scientists themselves. For a small country, academic disputes will eventually evolve into one or two academic factions, and there will be endless disputes. There are not necessarily many factions in the big countries, and in the bigger direction, scientists in the world only need one or two directions on most issues.
The earth's resources are limited, the resources that human beings can provide are limited, and the direction is limited after all.
The Manhattan Project of the Americans can be regarded as an excellent example, in such a tense period of World War II, the total amount of money invested in the Manhattan Project was more than the scientific research funding of most countries for hundreds of years, and if it is used in peacetime spending, 100 billion dollars cannot be said to be much, even so, the Manhattan Project funding is still tight, and academic disputes are still inevitable.
In the end, the "Little Boy" bombed in Hiroshima was a gun-type atomic bomb, and the "Fat Man" bombed in Nagasaki was an implosion-type atomic bomb, and the design of the two was completely different, which is equivalent to the relatively independent research of two different atomic bombs. This is certainly the wealth of the Americans, but it also shows the inevitability of academic disputes, and how the rifts that cannot be repaired by theory and language during the war can be easily healed between different institutions in peacetime.
China's biology is far from being prosperous, and the ultimate research direction can only be one or two main forces, especially in the era of difficult funding, and it is even more necessary to concentrate on doing great things. Otherwise, everyone can apply for funding in the direction they want, and the result is just a big pie.
If Yang Rui takes away two-thirds of the funds, it means that he can decide at least half of the direction of biological research in China, because he is equivalent to indirectly controlling a large amount of state funds, and he will not use all this money for himself, but others will use it, and it will inevitably be influenced by him, and the two sides must have at least one thing in common, you can't do what I think has no future, or even the wrong direction - as for whether this is a bit overbearing, of course it is very overbearing, who makes you not have enough level and qualifications.
It is equivalent to saying that in the future Chinese biology community, if there is a gun or implosion type of dispute, Yang Rui, who gets two-thirds of the funding, has considerable decision-making power, not to mention excluding dissidents, at least he can fight in court.
Of course, these were all conceived before Yang Rui won the Nobel Prize, and now that Yang Rui has won the Nobel Prize, it would be nonsense to talk about two-thirds of the way.
Yang Rui is not the kind of returnee who comes back from studying abroad and has no foundation in China. Peking University was originally the strongest university and research institution in the Department of Biology in China, and the only one that could compete with it was the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Lao Fang, Ge Xingbang and others also saw this possibility before, so they tried their best to fight.
However, the cruelty of the natural sciences lies in the uncontrollable nature of many.
You can stick to the direction you agree with, but you can't be 100% sure that you're going in the right direction.
The strength of PCR obviously exceeded the expectations of Lao Fang and Ge Xingbang.
Historically, the PCR didn't win the award until '93, and that's because its rollout was delayed until around '90.
Now, Yang Rui has made a PCR in advance, and he has crossed the first version and directly advanced to a generation of PCR, whose power is so strong that it can be said to have swept the world.
The Nobel Prize Committee did not even award Yang Rui the Chemistry Prize as it did in history, but directly gave PCR the Biology Prize, which can be said to fully affirm its biological value.
In fact, the fact that Muris won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in the past is also related to his own profession.
Muris is a chemist, and Yang Rui is a biologist, not to talk about the internal coordination of the Biology Award and the Chemistry Award, it is natural to give chemistry prizes to chemists and biology prizes to biologists.
"According to the practice of the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize is awarded to a maximum of three people, and in recent years, due to the fierce competition for the Nobel Prize, the proportion of three or two people winning the prize has increased year by year. It is extremely rare for Yang Rui to win the Nobel Prize alone. "The host on TV, whenever he finds any reason, will praise Yang Rui for a while.
However, such praise is still very valued by the Chinese people.
Even the scholars in the dining room couldn't help but whisper.
"Yang Rui won the Nobel Prize alone. β
"I guess it's because of the G protein-coupled receptor. β
"Yang Rui's achievements on G protein-coupled receptors have not yet been applied, and the Nobel Prize will not be awarded so quickly. β
All of a sudden, all scholars seem to have become Nobel Prize experts.
Even Lao Tan happily joined the discussion.
He defected on the verge of battle, took some risks, but the gains were amazing, the rebel army may not have the qualifications of the veterans, but it is also very good after all. At the very least, it is much stronger than the general of the defeated army.
Lao Tan glanced at Lao Fang sympathetically, and in front of the latter, it was Dean Liu, Academician Cai and others.
"Old Fang, what do you say?" said Lao Cai.
"It's useless for me to say anything, let Yang Rui say a charter. "Lao Fang is also a single, willing to gamble and lose.
Dean Liu immediately said, "My opinion ......"
"Your opinion is useless. Lao Fang suddenly interrupted Dean Liu's words, showing the essence of his dead duck's hard mouth, and said, "I asked Yang Rui to say a charter, not a charter." β
"What about Yang Ruiren?" everyone only realized at this time that the main master was gone.
"Probably going back. Professor Cai was happy and said, "He can see it clearly, indeed, there is no need to talk about it now." β
"Don't make it look like you're all over the country. The old man said unconvinced: "Yang Rui still has to come forward to talk." β
Professor Cai shook his head and said, "You are not qualified to talk, wait until you go back and listen to the notice." β
After speaking, Professor Cai invited Wu Hongbo and said, "Old Wu, let's go to Peking University to have a look? β
"That's what I thought, too, exactly. Wu Hongbo also smiled.
As soon as the two of them put their arms together, they walked out of the dining room, and they really stopped talking to Lao Fang.
In fact, there is really no need to talk about it, everyone is no longer an equal existence.
The old man's face was pale, he took two steps forward, and with the last glimmer of hope, he said: "The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, don't think that I will be restrained." β
"Yang Rui has won the Nobel Prize, who cares if you are tied up. Wu Hongbo was well-informed, shook his head at Lao Fang and left.
The old man's body shook a few times, and he barely stood still, but his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Indeed, with the current situation in China, what difference does it make if he is tied up or not. If Lao Fang is twenty years younger, he may be able to think of some other ideas and wrestle with Yang Rui, but unfortunately, it is more difficult to return to youth than to win the Nobel Prize.
The old man raised his head, and said with a slight trembling beard: "What about Yang Ruiren?"
He wanted to talk to Yang Rui about it, there is no knot in the world that cannot be untied, there is always a solution. Now that Yang Rui's family is doomed, it doesn't mean that others have no way to live, after all, it is not the era of Confucianism, and there is always something to fight for.
Dean Liu was choked by Lao Fang just now, and he was so happy to look at Lao Fang uncomfortable at this time, and said with a smile: "Yang Rui went back, it's useless for you to look for him." β
As I said, Dean Liu also followed in the footsteps of Professor Cai and Wu Hongbo and went out.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but he followed.
Ge Xingbang couldn't help but pull him and said, "What are you doing here? β
The school lord and the warlord are similar, everyone has their own basic plate, and the enemy army is strong, so they will return to their own basic plate.
Lao Fang shook his head and said, "I don't care, there are still them." β
The old man snorted backwards, which immediately moved and grieved Bian Hu and the others.
In Bian Hu's impression, Lao Fang has never been like this, not to mention sacrificing himself for the sake of the students, occasionally sacrificing a student, he can't even see the old tears. Just like before, he wouldn't worry about how Yang Rui would deal with his students in a few years.
The self-sacrifice he suddenly showed gave Bian Hu the feeling that it was more like "a man is dying and his words are good", and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
A group of people went out unconsciously, got into a big sedan car, followed Professor Cai's car, and drove to Peking University with a smoke.
